BATTLE OF CHEMlN DES DANES Isl
CONSIDERED EVEN MORE IMPORTANT
Than VICTORY OF FRENCH AT VERDuN

French Front, Oct. ITO say "I
come from the battlefield of the Che
min des Dames"-the Ladies' Road
stamps a French soldier in the popu-
lar mind today as a hero. Verdun
had seized the popular: Imagination
owing to it's position as the door
through which the Germans hoped. to
break to reach the heart of France.
Even the battle of Verdun, in which
the French, by their long-suffering
determination ito resist. succeeded in
thoroughly defeating the Germans, is
considered by some observers a lesser
operation. than that 4, of the Chemin
des DANES, whose possession. means
the command Of the great road to the
north by which the Germans must re-
treat. ~ So - r.
The correspondent. of The Asso-
ciated Press who has followed the
operations closely can affirm that the
French, after their first capture of the
famous road with all Its observator-
les as result Of their offensive begun
on April 49, have been able to hold
all their gains, to inf1ict almost, un-
believabIe losses on the picked troops
Of the Crown Princes army and to- re-
sist successfully al the furious coun-
er-attacks9.of che Germans.
Durings the months gof April, May,
June, July and Aug ust the fighting has
been incessant Ins the first attack
by the French, when they started
their offensive on the EAisne, about 3d.
900 German prisoners and zoo cannons
were captured. Since then attack
has followed attack, either from the
French or the Germans, and when the
total of these operations is summed
I'D the result is shown that every four
DAYS during four months there has
been a battle on a. more or less ex-
tensive scale. The net result of these
fights is that the French today hold
all they gained at their first assault.
The Germans have utilized on this

battlefront forty-rine divisions, which
have been sent in to the combat and
Withdrawn when exhausted-that is to
say, when division has lost in casu-
alties at least 1000 men. This gives
roughly on the German side 1876, 900
casualties among the front line troops,
without taking into account the killed
and wounded caused by the extremely
heavy artillery fire directed on the
lines of communication in the rear, in
the period since the first French as
sault on April 16. This is almost
double their losses before Verdun dur
Ing the similar period of 1916, when
severe fighting was going on there.
The character Of the lighting on the
Chemin des Danes is totally different
from. that at Verdun. At Verdun it
was always possible to retire without
great disadvantage for a certain dis
tance-which may be called the ma
noeuvring area-owing to the nature
of the ground with its successive
ranges of hills andy intervening val
leys. On the Chemin des Danes it
has been necessary to hold on. for
should either side. retire for, more
than a few feet the other side gained
the advantage of the observatories,
permitting a close watch over all that
went on in the adversary's lines. There
are here no definite lines Of tuenches,
no fields of barbed wire and no shell
ters, and the two adversaries are al
ways open to sudden inroads and have
to fight hand to hand to hold their
positions.
The crest on which the Chenin des
Danes runs is like knife blade at
many parts, over the edge of which
the enemy may not be allowed to peep.
Till now the French have always been
able to retain their outlook over the
edge and, full of confidence in them
selves, they intend to keep it until
the time comes for a further ad-
vance.

THE MINES OF ARIZONA

west and especially in Arizona, and for the most part untried by extensive development
 There are many properties through out the state which in an early day were worked for their gold and silver contents and which upon the eA- haustion of the surface oxidized ores carrying these metals, were practical ly abandoned as far as active opera tions were concerned. Some. of these will undoubtedly become good copper producers with development at great CT depth. l have in mind one in par ticular, which I visited some time ago, which impressed me with the be- lief that at some time 1t would be- come a producer of much high grade copper with good gold value. From surface workings it had production of about s2000,000 in gold. At least that was the amount claimed. They had worn out & 10-stamp mill treat ing the ore, but the copper had inter fered to quite an extent with their amaigamation of the gold values, and which eventually caused 1t to close down. This copper at lower depths will undoubtedly become 8 source of great profit, as the veins, there being several on the property. are very wide and the copper of a high grade.
 Many of you readers. are doubtless acquainted with this old mine, which was formerly known as the Swallow and is now being operated as the Empress.
 I have mentioned this simply as a type of many, at present almost un- old T1pnnorfiac fhTnnDhnnf the state, and it will illustrate the point wish to make: that in the not dis tant future much dependence will have to be placed upon the smaller, and at present too little considered, mines of this character for our copper.
 Almost every old camp in the state has one or more mines of the char | acter mentioned above. Not all of them will make copper mines but some of them assuredly will, and per haps, like the Magma, which I be- lieve was originally of similar char acter, will become immensely prof itable to their owners.
 Another type of the smaller mines, which is bound to cut a big figure in the future production of copper Is found in such camps aS Twin Buttes, Mayer, Johnson, etc. In these locali- ties are found none of what is usually considered the big copper mines. Yet their productive capacity in the ag- gregate is large and many of them are extremely profitable to their own CTS. and with systematic development, will undoubtedly in some cases at least open a bonanza ore values. When everybody is running Ion | high" as at present, with the supply of metals equalling demand, very few think of what would happen if the demand were in excess of supply. Let it be ever so small, the equilibrium is gone and there will immediately en- sue a scramble by consumers, with the result that prices will go up This condition may not occur soon but is bound to be the inevitable re- suit of the exhaustion of the large copper ore bodies. at present being worked to their limit.

Mohilinzing Small Mines (By II. ". R.)

I have just returned to Phoenix from a somewhat extended trip. through many of the mining camps of the state and 1t occurred to me that it might be matter of interest to your many readers, to know some thing about the opinions of those who are making Arizona known as the premier copper field of the world.
 Everybody knows that copper must be had for the prosecution of the war and Arizona's mining population is doing its full duty to produce 1t. The cry is for copper, and then more copper. and 1t seems that the pro- ductive capacity of the world IS to be strained to secure 1t. Nor is the demand to be lessened, with peace, although with it's coming there will probably be a short time, immediate ly after that happy event, and dur ing the inevitable readjustment international affairs. when a some what chaotic condition will occur, both financial and productive. But 1t cannot be for long, for the worlds industries must be rebuilt and re- established and upon a sounder and nore equitable basis than those which existed before 1914. Viewing the matter in the above mentioned light, the copper miner or operator con- siders that whatever may happen his future is assured, and for this req son. be he the large producer of ore or developing his property for future production. his previously formed plans of operations are being stead fly pursued.
 The immense tonnage of ore that is being handled daily by the large pro- ducers the state and in fact ev- erywhere where they exist, is one of the present day mining wonders of tho world. Take such mines as In spiration. Old Dominion. Ray Con, United Verde. Calumet and Arizona Phelps-Dodge and Ajo, all are crowd ing production to the limit, while higher grade. but smaller tonnage producers like Verde Extension and Magma, are producing every pound of copper possible. This Is true not only of Arizona, but wherever copper is produced. To the thoughtful per son the question arises, What will the world do for copper, after the exhaustion of the present great pro- ducers?"
 As far as the writer knows. there Ao HUI d ciilSlt uuii OuuCitNc sO-Cdlleu porphyry being developed that is as- sured of ranking with the "big Ones. There may be, and probably are bodies of porphyry as yet undeveloped that will become productive in a large way, but it must be admitted that the cream is being skinned and any ad- ditional great producers of this char scter will have to be found and de- veloped.
 While the above remarks may be somewhat explanatory, they in nc wise answer the question, where is the worlds copper to come from?
 In the writer's opinion there car he but one satisfactory answer, viz: from the smaller. but usually higher grade. and mostly undeveloped prop critics. These are known to exist ir large numbers throughout the south

tation, where they use electricity, but in Anaconda, there is plant treat ing 1000 tons a day using scrap iron.
 It is believed that this method, simple as it is, will be of interest to many, especially the smaller mines or those that are being developed, and have a tonnage of oxodized ores at or near the surface.
 In this case the installation would be inexpensive, as outside of crusher and pulverizer, all that is needed is few tanks.
 The difficulty of securing scrap iron in this state may make this method impractical on a large scale. but as there are many dumps of old iron in the form of tin cans. etc. it may help out many small mines, any old iron will do and about two tons of iron will produce about one ton of copper.
 The copper Is recovered in the form known as "cement copper it is very high grade. in most cases better than 90 per cent and can be shipped direct to a refinery. The ex- | hibit will be found in the north end of the new mineral building.

Ihs oatman District


 OATMAN, Ariz., Nov. 1.-The prob lem of re-financing and continuing development work on many of the properties in the Oatman district has presented unusual difficulties during the present period of war time finan- ctal depression. Many of the com panies have a few stockholders who are able and willing to make further investments and in some cases one or two men have financed recent opera tions solely.
 The plan of amending the articles of incorporation to make the stock assessable has been suggested as way out of the difficulty. and has been tried by some companies. But strenuous objections have been made to this plan, and 1t has been found that the most practicable method Is to turn over all the assets of the orig inal company to another one, the stock of which is subject to assess ment in the usual manner as provided by Arizona law.
 This method has recently been adopted by the Hi Henry Gold Mines Co.,, owning a group of ten claims south of the Tom Reed property and north of the Lazy Boy. The original company equipped the property with a complete plant and sunk a shaft 250 feet deep.
 Arrangements have recently been completed to exchange the stock of the Hi Henry for that of the Man hattan Consolidated Annex Gold Co, share for share. with transfer fee of one cent per share, which will pro- vide funds for continuing develop ment. It Is proposed to sink to the 300 or 400 foot level and cross cut to the vein.
 The United Eastern Mining Go. is providing for winter by installing a heating plant for the mill. This will keep the temperature of the cyanide solutions up to summer heat, and thus maintain production and ex- traction at higher levels. Mining of ore is now being con ducted above the 300 foot level of the United Eastern from the old shaft. This level is not connected up with the new shaft, so it is nec- essary to conduct mining operations in this manner.

 The new electrically operated plant of the Gold Ore Mining Co. is being installed in record breaking time and President Werden expected to start | sinking the shaft 200 feet to the 730 l foot level immediately. Three shifts

will be put to work in order to reach the objective as soon as possible. Work on the new road to the Gold Road mill is moving forward rapidly. but as an entirely new grade will have to be cut out of the solid rock, several weeks more will be required to finish it.
 pr. c. A. L. Gehrmann, president of the Record Lode Mining Co. has re- turned from an extensive eastern trip and at once authorized the doubling of the working force at that plant in order to reach the 800 foot level as rapidly as possible. The shaft is being sunk on the hanging wall of the vein and it is noted that the vein matter is gradually changing into quartz which is a favorable indication
 While in Washington, Dr. Gehr- mann discussed the gold mining situ- ation with leaders in congress whc assured him that it was probable that gold mines will be exempted from paying war taxes as a means oi encouraging the additional production of gold.
 At the United Northern, the station on the 550-foot level has been com pleted, the plant gotten into perfect running order and about 35 feet ol cross cutting done.
 Supt. w. B. Roberts of the United Oatman claims the honors for To- eating the widest ledge in the dis trict. To the west from the tunne he has cross-cut a formation of Thy oIite, black spar and andesite for : width of over 200 feet without finding the hanging wall.
 At the Oatman Southern the shaf is being lowered to the 200 foot leve where lateral exploration work vii be conducted.
