When a soldier is wounded. unless he is rendered unconscious or entirely helpless. he makes use of his first aid outfit If he is unable 70 act for him. assistance. The wound is sterilized with iodine and bandaged In case. during an attack. he happens to fall on No Mans Land"-that bullet swept area between the firing lnes--he must either crawl back to the first-line trench or make the best of his situa- ton until reached by regimental stretchcr bearer during a lull in the fighting, or after darkness has come.
 First-aid or dressing, stations are maintained along the third-line trench es. but in the midst of severe fighting the danger is too great for one of these to be reached. In such cases a wound cd man either walks or is carried by Red Cross members of his regiment to "refuges" or dugouts in the second line. Usually an assistant surgeon and Huplc of stretcher bearers are at these points. so that at times man may be attended there or even at the spot where he has fallen. Eventually he reaches the first aid post. guided by arrows set in the trench walls if he walks the distance. Such station is commonly an excavation. sheltered from fle and hght-artlllcry fire. in charge of a major of the medical corps. The first separation of patients occurs here. The wounds of a soldier are dressed. and if they are very slight. the man is sent back to his unit. Those who require further attention. but can walk. are directed ahead to the first line ambulance. while others who are helpless are taken in charge by the division strctcher bearers.
 Most often the first ambulance" is situated in a village or on a farm at the rear often out of range of the enemy's guns. The journey to if. however. is not always easy. for the intervening zone is under fire The first ambulance is more than a name possibly indicates. II is a complete surgical staff, super vised by chief surgeon is maintained. Men who arrive there without having had previous attention are looked after, while serious cases, of which notation first aid camp, have their wounds re- dressed and fractured bones reset. When it is particularly urgent, an op- oration is performed While he is here a card bearing a hurried diagnosis of his case is pinned to each soldier. The color of his slip indicates in what man. ner the patient should be transported whether sitting or reclining. and how many miles at a time. If he is not wounded but sick, the color discloses the fact.
 At this point everything is made ready for conveying the wounded to the clearing hospital situated from 6 to l2 miles back of the trenches. The means of transportation varies in diff ferent localities. Motor ambutances are generally employed. but occasion ally there are light temporary railways on which small stretcher cars drawn by a donkey engine, are operated.

TURNER TO OPERATE
CAVE CREEK PROPERTY
(FrOm Thursdays Daily Minsr.)

.. A. Turner, who put the Por-
phyry Copper mines of Mineral Park
to the front, has taken over a gold
property In the Cave Creek section
OF southern Yavapai county, and ex-
poets to completely finance it within
the next month or two. He reports
the property to be a remarkable one,
having considerable bodies of exposed
ore running above $50 per ton. Sew
eral Phoenix men are to become in
terested in the property, and it is also
possible that it will be marketed in
New York.

BANK OF FRANCE
NAMED AGENT OF
j. S. RESERVE BANK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-The
Federal Reserve Board today author
lied the appointment of the Bank of
France as correspondent of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York.
Other federal reserve banks, it was
announced, will be permitted to par
ticipate in the arrangement upon its
establishment.
Authority for the appointment was
granted in pursuance of the boards
policy of extending the banking con-
nections of the federal reserve sys-
TEN throughout the world and was
foreshadowed by similar action taken
in the case of the Bank of England
last December.
AS the Bank of France, like the
Bank of England, and the Federal Re
serve System are official government
organizations, the establishment of
the proposed arrangement will link
the financial departments of the
United States and France in an of
fetal capacity for the first time.
Today's action is viewed as an
other step in the comprehensive pro-
gram adopted by the board of
Strengthening the financial position
of the United States in whatever the
future may bring and particularly
with a view to affording the financial
for extending American
commerce after the war. The bene-
fits which it is expected will accrue
through the appointment of the Bank
of France as correspondent will come
principally after peace shall have been
established, it is thought, and will go
far toward making more certain the
of the dollar as the
standard of international exchange.

WALKERS WEEKLY
COPPER LETTER

high cost copper has come to supply
in part the excessive demand. If the
metal continues to sell above 80 cents
a pound throughout the remainder of
this year there undoubtedly will be a
further important increase in the pro-
duction. When the price of copper de-
clines again, however, it will bring
about a more immediate and greater
shrinkage in the total output than
ever before occurred in the history of
this industry, and this decrease will
be realized without any curtailment
by the big, established mining COM
panies.

age owe it to themselves to grasp the
opportunities presented.
Instead of excessive production,
greatly increased demand and very
low metal prices after the war 1 be-
lieve that we shall awaken to the fact
when this frightful struggle in Eu-
rope ends that it has so far exhausted
the worlds supplies of copper that
nothing but relatively high prices can
be depended upon to bring the re-
quired volume of production to mar
ket for a period of several years. The
producing companies are not depend
ent upon 80 or 35-cent copper for
earnings that will warrant much
higher prices for their shares than
those now prevailing. Reasonable as.
surance of 20-cent metal market for
a period of three years after the war
ends would entitle the better class of
copper stocks to sell 40 or so per cent
higher than they are selling now.
For illustration, the outstanding
capital stock of 10 of the large pro-
ducing companies, which have no in
debtedness and whose combined sur
plus of cash and quick assets is be-
tween $85,O0O,OOO and 100000 900, are
selling in the market now at a gross
valuation of 1927, 100000. These COM
panies are producing at the rate of
634 100000 pounds of copper a year
Therefore their annual production is
capitalized at 81 cents a pound, thew
are realizing profit of IS to 20 cents
on every pound of the metal they de-
liver and are earning at the rate OFF,
per cent or better on the prices at
which their shares are selling. They
would be earning 81 per cent on the
present prices of their shares if con-
per were Is cents a pound.
The foregoing figures do not make
any allowance for the fact that more
than 20 per cent of the value which
the stock market now places upon the
outstanding capital of these compa-
MES is covered by the surplus of cash
and quick assets already in their
treasures. The net market value of
their properties, arrived at by sub
tracting their combined surplus of
lash and quick assets, is about $780,
100000, or SO cents per pound for
heir annual copper production. They
ire earnings more than one-third of
his amount per year, even though it
De assumed that they will receive no
more than % cents a pound for their
copper.

In the logging camps OF oregon an"

The donkey engine which operates
the skyline has five drums, including
two for main lines and two for tril

log is suspended. IS one Of the mail
