s25,OOO,OOO IS BEING SPENT ON ARIzONA'S
 BIG ORE PRODUCERS

Bisbee. Oct. 25,-Twenty-five million dollars is a conservative esti- mate upon money which the mining industry planned to spend in Arizona during the present year.
 This sum does not include expendi- lures being made or planned by new companies or developing companies yet lacking the establishment of com Imercial ore bodies. It comprises only money of which appropriations had been made by producing concerns for enlargement and betterments. It does not take into consideration the general run of appropriations for continued development of resources, making an aggregate much in excess of S25, 100000.
 Much of the new work has been delayed and some of it indifnitely postponed by the labor troubles brought upon the state in the first half of the year through anti-gov- ernment, pro-German influence. These delays and postponments rep resent an enormous current loss in wages to skilled worlmen, trade channels and tax income, county, state and national.
 Among the larger delays, that to carrying out of the Copper Queen $5,OOO,OOO steam shovel mining and concentrator erection plans, to the United Verde steam shovel, new ma chine shop, shelter enlargement and railroad lifting enterprises, to the Verde Extension shelter construction, and to important betterments in the Clifton -Morenci district are notable. They alone represent planned expend- itures, beginning with which has been made, of 14,0OO 900. The remaining S11OOO,OOO O fthe estimate is scatter ed among all of the other important producing camps. Humboldt with S2,- 100000 under way of expenditure; Ray, with S2,OO0,0OO in course of ex- penditure, head the list. Globe-Miami had upwards of S1,OOO,OOO going into Detterment when closed down.
 Aside from this there are to be con- sidered some millions which had been engaged for additional equipment and development of new properties in the strike zone. Much of this money has since been indefinitely held up. Inves- tors are occupying a waiting attitude toward Arizona mining affairs, one that is working hardship upon some properties of excellent promise in both old and new districts, the in- crease output from which of copper, lead, silver and zinc wiuld be of much to the government, not on- ly in point of increase of needed met als, but also because of additional rev. enues for the war treasury.

BISBE IS A QUAINT
 LITTLE MINING TOWN

Bisbee, Ariz.-This mining camp town, which has attracted SO much attention recently because of the labor and I. ". wv, troubles here, is one of the most unique and picturesque of the old mining camps of the south west. Founded by old time prospect ors who followed Ed. Schiefflin, War -cn and other pioneers into the Coch- ise county mineralzed district. Bisbee is built on top of a half-dozen hills and along the floor and sides of as many gulches. The houses are perched on high knobs, or built one above the other on the sides of the gulches.
 Because there are no streets cross ing at right angles in the town, there can be no block number system of numbering houses and, as a result, the Bisbee postoffice is said to be the larg- est lock box postofice in the United States as practically everyone living within the corporate limits rent boxes at the postofice. The only way the houses could be numbered would be to start at the postofiee and number in all directions as there are no system of streets or cross streets.
 Tombstone Canyon, Brewery Gulch, O. K. Avenue and Tintown Trail are among the leading streets while Qual- ity Hill, School Hill, Art Hill and Tin town are among the best known sec tions of the city. Bisbee Lowell and Warren are, in fact one town strung along the lower Tombstone Canyon and it was along the canyon road that the 1168 alleged I. W. W.,sympathiz- eers and members were marched to the Warren baseball park before be- ing deported.

SOCIETY TEACHES NAVY
 COOKS TO COOK

Many prominent society women, led by Mrs. Adrian Iselin, have given up social activities in order to teach sail ors how to cook. Mrs. Iselin, writing in the November issue of Harper's Bazar, tells how, through her New York Cooking School, these women are training able seamen to prepare food properly and are rapidly lessen ing the shortage of capable chefs in the navy. Rear-Admiral Usher, U. s. N, has co-operated with Mrs. Iselin and has indorsed her work.
 The men have learned very quickly. In fact, Admiral Usher says: "With- out this aid, it would have been a diff fcult matter for up to supply a sui ficult matter for us to supply a sui the small vessels in the district, and to the large German liners which were recently taken over by the givern- ment."

The number shaft of the New Mo hawk has been equipped with a 15- horsepower Fairbanks-Morse hoist and a standard gallows-frame, which replaces the smaller equipment that served very well for sinking to the present level, but which is insufficient to accomplish requirements that will come up when sinking is again re- sumed.
 The equipment just taken off num- Der 2 shaft is being moved to num- Der shaft, which is now 75 feet deep.
 The New Mohawk Mineing Com pany has been honored by the North ern Arizona Fair, just closed at Prescott, by being awarded ribbon of the first class for it's display of ores in the Mohave county exhibit. This is a very high honor and Mana ger Robertson feels proud of the dis tinction.

WHERE THE WEST BEGINS
By Arthus Chapman, Denver, Colo

By Arthus Chapman, Denver, Colo. Out where the hand claspe's a little stronger, Out where the smile dwells a little longer
 That's where the West begins. Out where the suns little brighter, Where the snow that falls is a trife winter, Where the bonds of home are a wee bit tighter
 That's where the West begins. Out where the skies are a trile bluer, Out where friendships a trife truer, Out where everything is newer
 That's where the West begins. Out where a fresher wind is blowing, Where's there's laughter in every streamlet flowing, Where there's more of reaping and lessof sowing
 That's where the West begins. Out where the West is in the making, Where fewer hearts with despair are aching
 That's where the West begins. Where there's more of singing and less of signing, Where there's more of giving and less of buying, And a man makes friends without half trying,
 That's where the West begins.

The Golconda Annex claim of the Union Metals Company, which opened up good ore with the 71-foot cross cut, will continue this erosscut to the hanging wall where it should find the rich silver-gold ore that was found on the surface. The hanging-wall will will be drifted on a distance of 250 feet which will put it directly under the black butte from which all the oreshoots so far found on the Annex appear to radiate like spokes from a hub. This will give the company about 15O feet of 'fbacks" and the drift should provide several carloads of shipping ore while being driven.
 Miners are now employed in ex- tracting the first carload of ore the company will ship from the Annex claim.
 The black butte referred to is rath- CT phenomenon, inasmuch as several holes have been dug into its sides at widely variant points, in all of which silver-lead ore has been found, lending force to the belief that under this butte will be found a very large body of rich ore.

The East drift on the South vein of the Diana is about ten feet from the erosscut and alrea- dy has exposed three feet of ex- eellent ore, apparently of the same grade as that in the West drift. About a foot of the OreshOOt in the East drift seems to have particularly high value, although Colonel BeVeridge has had no as- says made of it yet.

The Keystone mill continues to pound out high grade concentrate and Manager Sherman is receiving con gratulations on all sides for his com plete success in solving the problem of treating the ores from the Keystone mine. It is quite likely that in very short time the mine will be unwater- ed and mining operations resumed on a large scale. The ore being run through the mill now comes from the dump and very frequently the mill receives some severe tests, from all of which it emerges victorious.
 It can be definitely stated that the Keystone is in the producing class of mines in the Chloride district and will continue to rank among the foremost for many years to come.
