MESA GRADUATES

The commercial department of the Mesa Union high school has written a letter to all business men of the com munity calling attention to the fact that a number of young men and women will graduate this term from the department and soliciting the fill ing of any vacancies, by some one of the class. This plan was tried last year and within a few weeks every graduate was employed and a line kept on their progress. The school authori- . ties were glad to find that the boys and girls graduating from the com mercial department had been giving satisfaction to their employers.

 Stenographic: Thelma Openshaw. Elvira Ramirez, Aurora Martinez Melissa Nickoll, Ross Nickoll, Kate Brundage.

SILVER MUST RISE

rise is not yet in sight England to
stop it's rise, placed an embargo on
Its transit to India and the United
States Is said to be a party to pre-
vent silver from reaching far above
the, dollar mark. There is now the
heaviest demand for silver for coin
age in many years and our mints are
running night and day upon its coin
age into small denominations.
All the countries of Europe now
at war, are coming silver as money,
and after the war ends there UNI
doubtedly will be an international
agreement fixing its price as a mon
ey metal alongside that of gold.
Should our national congress restore
the silver dollar on a. basis OF 16 to
as formerly, no doubt other ma
tions would restore 1t at a similar
parity. 1t becomes more evident that
the commerce of the world cannot
longer be carried on with gold alone
and the holders of silver mines have
a bright future.

THE FUEL VALUE OF WOOD

Persons who plan to relieve the
coal shortage this winter by burn
ing wood can figure, roughly speak
ing, that two pounds of seasoned
wood have a fuel value equal to one
pound OF coal. according to experts
of the Forest Service. While differ
ent kinds of wood have different fuel
values. the greater the dry weight Of
a non-resinous wood, the more heat
it will give out when burned.
Weight for weight, there is very
little difference between various spec
les. Resin affords about twice as
mu h heat as wood, so that resin
GUS woods have a greater heat value
per pound than non-resinous woods,
and this increased value varies, of
course, with the resin content
The available heat value of a cord
of wood depends also on the amount
of moisture present. When wood is
green, Part Of the heat is taken up
in evaporating the water. therefore.
the greater the amount of water in
the wood the more heat is lost.

paired the shaft TO the bottom. The
drifts extending both east and west
from the bottom of the shaft have
been cleaned out and will be extend
ed Into new territory. The east
drift has exposed streak of gold
copper smelling ore eight inches
wide, the first class averaging $SS
per ton and the second class $35
per ton. The west DRIFT has a 12-
inth streak that returns equally as
good values. After the drifts have
been placed i'm proper condition and
breast of drifts s.arted, another 100
foot lift Of the shaft will be sunk
On streak Of ore now exposed, av.
eragfng Is inches in width. The
mine now employs six men and more
