The reason prices al food and
fuel remain at high levels and. In
some cases. continue TO rise is that
the branches OF the Government
charged with keeping prices down
and breaking up monOpolies stand
helpless. In all probability new leg
islation will be enacted at the pres
ent session OF Congress which Will
be more drastic in controlling busI-
ness than any ever passed before.
The Federal Trade Commission and
the Fuel Administration candidly ad-
nit that little can be done 20 Keep
coal prices low because only about
20 per cent OF the country's coal sup.
ply is what is known 10 the trade
as free" The remaining so per
cent is~under contract. Big manu-
facturers, public utility plants and
other large consumers OF coal make
two, three and five-yeaT contracts
for their coal supplies. Many OF
these contracts began to run only a
short time before the Government
fixed coal prices.
Hnstened Long Contracts.
In fact. many consumers hastenedI
the making OF long-term contracts,
foreseeinE that there might be a
coal scarcity. As result the Fuel
Administration has a relatively small
part OF the product to fix the price
OF and distribute. As the contract
prices for coal are nearly all higher
than the Government price and wages
are high. the cost OF the goods man
ufactured is high. In fixing prices
OF these goods, the Government must
work on a basis OF cost OF production
and must figure in the high priced
contract coal.
In the food world there are many
price-fiNing monopolies outside tAe
grasp OF the antitrust laws. Because
OF a lack OF interstate movement Of
many OF the commodities involved,
the Department OF Justice is helpless
to prosecute.
The contract element enters into
the food situation also. large food sup

VANADlUM GOLD ORE DEVELOPED BY THE
 BROKEN HILL MINES
Development Work on Prop erty Located One Mile East of Ray Uncovers Rich Ore. Work is Being Sent Rapidly Forward.

RAY, March 31-An immense body of vanadium gold ore has been en- countered in the development of the Ray Broken Hill mine, a mile south of Ray.
 The ore assays high in gold, with good values in vanadium. and carries small values in lead and silver.
 Enc ore body has been opened up for a distance of 70 feet and to height of thirty feet. It averages SIX feet in width. The ore was encoun- tered on the hanging wall of the huge lron-gold deposit that the company mas aireauy prepared 10 ship tIom, and IS consI0ered by geologists as one oI the most important developments made recentiy Tn this district.
 When seen Inis weeH regarding the values encountered in the new ore uody, President frank Schilling sad tnat he preferred not to give out any Agures on the assay for publication Out ne indmated strongly that ne Was e.ninenuy satisned with tue values as shown.
 Surveys for the construction of a wagon road to the property are now being made, and as soon as the road can be completed hoist will be in stalled. The hoist will be placed up on the mountain side above the mouth of the tunnel and will be connected with the winze by a raise.
 News that the huge body of iron gold ore is overlaid with a body of vanadium and gold ore, which in gold values alone will be very profitable to stockholders of the Broken Hills company.

NEW SECTION OF THE
 INSPIRATION READY
Big Mill of Miami Operator Will Be Added To During April. Oxides By Flota- ton.

Two new sections of the Inspiration Copper Co. mill, scheduled for use at the beginning of the year, will be equipped and ready for operation dur ing April, according to management estimates. This will raise the milling facilities from IS to 20 units and in- crease capacity to between 1S.000 and 19,0OO tons of ore daily. The net re- suit should be an increase in monthly output of copper to about 1S,000,OOO pounds.
 From it's sulphite ores Inspiration has been securing an extraction averaging 90 per cent.
 Inspiration has been deyoting much time to the problem of handling it's oxidized ores With an indirect use of Notation the oxides may now be handled in conjunction with the sui- phides and at much lower cost than would otherwise be che case.
 Should this plan prove out as well in commercial runs as in preliminary tests, the total recovery from Inspira- ton ores will be improved by two to three pounds of copper per ton of ore, at little or no cost.
 The annual report for 1916 covering the first full years operations will shortly be distributed to shareholders. The cost will be between Sl2 and 34 cents a pound. The saving feature in this respect was the low mining cost which the property management was able to maintain during the year. It cost more to sell copper on account Of the higher average price paid for the metal, the commission being based on sales values.
 There has been no discussion off cially regarding dividends and cur rent belief in well-informed quarters prevails that the March declaration will continue the existing quarterly rate of s q share.

Many whose eyes were failing say they have had their eyes restored by this remarkable prescription and many who once wore glasses say they have thrown them away. One man says. after using it Il was almost blind. Could not see to read at all. Now 1 can read everything without my glasses and my eyes do not hurt any more. At night they would pain dreadfully.

It was like . miracle to me- A lady who used 1t sayc: {: "The atmosphere seemed hay with or without glasses, but after using this pre- scription for 15 days everything seems clear. I can read even fine print with out glasses" Another who used 1t says !: "I was bothered with eye strain caused by overworked, tired eyes which induced fierce headaches. I have worn glasses for several years both for distance and work, and without them l could not read my own name on an envelope or the type writing on the machine before me. can do both now and have discarded my long distance glasses altogether. l can count the fiuttering leaves on the trees across the street now, which for several years have looked like dim green blur to me.

GRAND PACIFIC FINDS
 ORE IN NEW TUNNEL
Ledge of High Grade Copper is Found While Develop ment Work is in Progress.

RAY, March 31.-Two sensational strikes of high grade copper ore were made in the original workings of the Grand Pacifc Copper company this week, and in a comparatively new tun- mel a large deposit of very rich cop per glance was uncovered.
 In sinking shaft for the purpose of cutting a cross-fissure in the origi- nal Grand Pacific workings, a seven foot ledge of high grade copper ore, running as high as seventy-two per cent, was taken at the breast of a tunnel, driven late last year, dips to the south
 The tunnel had passed through an almost perpendicular Assure before reaching the second fault dipping to the south, which was almost conclu- sive evidence of the existence of a cross-fissure at depth, and ro pene- trate this cross-fssure at the contact a shaft was sunk, and on Monday a great body of high grade copper was opened.
 Almost simultaneously with this discovery the ledge dipping to the south was encountered at the breast of the lower or power house tunnel.
 While assays have not been made on the ledge matter from these new discoveries, casual glance at the ore shows that it is very rich. Mining men who have examined the mineral assert that it will run better than seventy per cent.
 These new discoveries disclose the fact that the grounds are literally cut with veins and cISss-fssures running in almost every direction and all car rying fabulously rich values.
 The new lower tunnel will be driven 300 feet further into the mountain to tap the perpendicular Assure which was originally cut in tunnels one and two and which gave copper returns running as high as seventy-two per cent.
 With little additional work ore bodies of almost unbelievable size will be blocked out, and the company will pass into the, class of the permanent profitable shippers.
 Several weeks ago an outcropping Of what appeared to be rich copper glance was discovered on 9 claim far removed from the original under ground workings of the company. A week or ten days ago Manager That cher put a force of men to work on this prospect A tunnel was driven in on the surface lead and on Saturday last, at twenty feet, great body of eX- ceedingly rich copper glance covered the entire breast of the tunnel.
 This discovery, naturally. is con sidered very important, and as soon as equipment can be provided. but putting will start. Mining men who have examined this ore claim that it is one of the districts most sensa- tional discoveries.

Two drills are on the ground and another is understood to be on the way.
 Long and McIyer, wLo brought in the famous United kastern IaIiiv, at Oatman, now the biggest s9ld pro- ducer in the United States, are as- sociated with kowlands Tn one com pany. The Rabbit brotners, PIas- staff mercnants and ranAed as among the wealthlest men or Arizona, are backing the Arizona Del RIO Oil com pany. Doheney, who has made mil lions in California oil, has two men in the field.
 McIver and Rowlands, who is a wealthy oil man of Whittier, Calitor- mia, went over the Cnlno valley coun NIl ldSl hlNn N- AANSANef president of the Chino Valley Oil company. That they were highly i'm pressed with the prospects is shown by the fact that before they left thes took an option on section of Heslet's land, adjoining the Chino Valley hold ings on the west and north. Long, i. lis understood, will join with them in financing a company and putting a drill on the ground at an early date.
 Monday two young men arrived from California by auto. They were equipped with an elaborate camping outfit and all kinds of scientific ap- paratus, and stated that they had come to look over Chino valley, for E. L. Doheney. They said that they want ed the best oil land to be had if the district came up to representations. A drill has been delivered at Del Rio for the new Del Rio company. That company was organized in Oat- man but the principal financial back CTS are the Rabbits. The Rabbits spe- cified before they went into the pro- position, that Etienne Ritter must make a favorable report on the field before they would become interested Ritter came down from Oatman and spent some days in the valley. His report has not been made public but it is understood from a reliable source that it was highly favorable. At any rate, the Rabbits took large blocks of stock in the Del Rio com pany, which is now financed for opera tions.
 Reports are in circulation that an other outfit has drill rig on the way.
