no particular intelligence in my bust

HELPED RICHEST JAP WOMAN
Spectator, Having Amassed Millions,
Is a Walking curio in the Streets
Of Kobe.

Madame Suzuki is reported to be
the richest woman In Japan. She is at
the head of Suzuki & Co, which Is re-
ported to have coined a few hundred
million yen since the beginning of the
world war.
Madam Suzuki IS the daughter OF a
modest stockbroker In the city of
Osaka. says Adaehi K~lnnosuke, In Les,
lies. She married Mr.. Suzuki when
he was a petty merchant. When he
died, however. he left what was con-
sidered quite Il fortune in japan In
those days. The present prime min
lister OF hers. kaneko, was then In
charge of the business. Kaneko spec
ulated and lost the net loss amount
ed to a good many thousand yen more
than the entire fortune which his late
master had left to his widow and chill
dren. Kaneko actually had his foot
on a crossbar of a bridge railing over
the Yodo river in Osaka. ready to
jump into the cold beyond, as the only
fit apology for his terrific blunder.
II can die" said he 10 himself solemn
ly enough. ''and that is easy enough.
But my dying now would not help the
widow and her children"
"Yery we'll" she said. And that IL
all she said. She did not ask him
how. why, where-nothing. She took
her children and went back to her
home.
Her premier lives today like a mend
icant after amassing not only millions
but many hundred millions for her,
and his one dissipation is his work. He
is a walking curio in the streets OF
Kobe.

TOMBSTONE. June Sowing to lack of cars there is now about twen- ty cars of leasors' silver, lead. gold and manganese ores awaiting shipment from this camp.
 The small mill being erected on the Winters claims is nearing completion. It will be operated by John KoIilen.
 Developing by the Phelps Dodge people continues with reported good results. A systematic constructive de- yclopment plan cf the now known blg bojy of silver-lead-manganese ores is now going on with good headway be- ing made in eight or nine drifts and two shafts that are being sunK. Ac- ccrding to rumOrs, all the ore carries copper up to two per cent and geolO- gists studying the formation say the chance of a good copper body in the water under the manganese is excel lent The company gives out no state ments officially. any more than that they are working out a practical sOlu- tion of the treatment of the lime man ganese now developing here.

MILL TEST FOR GOLD
 AT GUNSIGHT MINES

TUCSON, June S.-What is believed the beginning of a thorough mill test for gold in the Gunsight district, A miles east of Ajo and southwest of Tucson, by the Bullion Bar Mining & Development company, has been com menced.
 A gasOlene hoist is now being in- stalled, and plans are being laid to put in a 10-stamp mill for the treatment of the ere. Detroit capital has been interested in the venture, after thor ough investigation during which the ore in the two shafts was sampled three times and dOuble-checked. then checked the third time.
 By means of pan amalgamation, the first bar of gold was finished this week It contains. according to re- ports, about $75 worth of gold.
 The vein is from to ' feet wide, the reported values in gold are from S2 to $24O a ton, the ore (much of it being highly decomposed) is soft enough to be easily and cheaply mined. and the mine is admirably situated for a mill site close by and, according to reports, but 40 feet to water.
 Seven men are at work at the prop erty.

DIVIDEND PROBABLE FROM NEW C0RNELIA

With the declaration of the regular quarterly dividend of S2 per share, Calumet and Arizona continues the rate which it has been paying since the first quarter of 1916, except that in that year an extra of S1 was paid as a return of capital and last year s extra paid for the same purpose.
 On an $S per annum basis the com pany is we'll within earnings for de- spite the fact that last year was one of difficulties for all the copper pro ducers Calumet and Arizona finished the period with just over $10 per share earned. In the year 1916, $17.36 were shown for the stock, and in 1915, $S.S3 in the past three years the company has paid total of S2325 per share out of earnings of S26.52, leaving a balance of S327 per share.
 At the close of 1917 the company showed net working assets of SS,064- 900 as against $7,571 ,000 at the end of the previous year and $6,93S,000 at the 1915.
 A big asset which is accruing to the advantage of Calumet and Arizona is the New Cornelia the future of which is a very bright one. The property is now producing at the rate of between 50 .OOO 900 and 60,000,000 pounds of copper per annum and it will not be a great while before the rate will be up to a 90,0O0, 0,000-pound production. Of the 1,404 300 shares of stock out standing Calumet and Arizona owns 97S,S21 shares which cost it very olw figure. There has been some talk that the parent company would dis tribute this stock to the Calumet and Arizona stockholders but there is very l little likelihood of this at least in the near future On 4,000,000 pounds pro- duction per month the company is fig ured to be earning at the rate of S7- 200, 900 per annum on 2312 cent copper or over s5 per share. This should re-
 suit in dividend action this year. A | S2 dividend would mean additional earnings for Calumet and Arizona of nearly S3 per share on its own stock.

 Gold Ore
 President Werden reports excellent results being achieved in the west drift on the $50 foot level as well as in stOping above the 800 foot level. The ore body is widening out at both points indicating a greater tonnage than preliminary estimates anticipat- ed. Maximum production of about 70 tons daily is being maintained at the mill, mining and transportation keep ing pace with this requirement. Al toeether President Werden is highly gratified with the progress being made.

which does that class of work automat- ically, and has a capacity of 12O tons a day. In addition the company has a custom concentrating mill with equip ment for both table concentration and Notation. A teaching department, to- gether with electrolytic precipitation is planned.
 The company will operate in connec- tion with its plant a modern custom assay office and ore testing plant, spe- cial provisions having been made to make flotation tests on ores in lots Of five pounds up to a car load. This will enable mine owners to obtain the necessary data in order to decide up on a flow sheet best suited to their ores.
 The proposed short line from Phoe- nix to Jerome will give Mayer. an i'm mense advantage in getting in touch with the outside world. It will permit cheap and quick outlet for ores and will insure getting in supplies when they are needed. Then practically ev- erything that the mines in the sur rounding country need will be obtain ed in Mayer. This means that Mayer will be a headquarters in every sense of the word for one of the big mining districts in Arizona.

RECORD MAY PRODUCTION OUTSTANDING FEATURE IN ARIZONA MINING CIRCLES

which the proposed amendment pro vides, without question and just as the pay envelope does, half the terrors of injury are removed. The injured man knows that his credit will be good and that his family will not suffer, because it will be of knowledge with the grocer and all others that his income is not cut off and will not be as long as he is unable to work. If death results, the family is protected. Its income continues None of the uncertainties of collection or of legal contests can come in to cause worry or distress. These features are very attractive to the workman and his family, and are making him a supporter of the meas ure. The employer is reached no less forcefully. because the proposed amendment assures him that he is go- ing to be relieved of a great deal of doubt and worry that one way and an- other costs him as much or more every year as the cash that he actually puts out in meeting personal injury claims. So far as he is concerned, the law is to all intent and purpose compulsory. He cannot afford to take the risk WHICH T6udluAlS run uhuOi AbS fits carries. In the case of the work men, the benefits assured him are such that he cannot afford to not ac- oept them.
 Present activity in connection with the amendment is in securing signat- ures to petitions asking that it be placed on the ballot this fall. It will then be up to the voters to accept or reject the measure, as they may see fit. The following points gleaned from reading the measure, which Is remarkably simple in wording and def mite in terms as compared with the usual legal document, are of interest as practically explaining the entire proposal:

CUPRITE DISTRICT IS
 SHOWING G0OD VALUE

The Black Giant Mines company at Cuprite has completed the installation of its power plant and machinery at the Little Giant mine and last week started to continue sinking the shaft below the 115 foot level, where 1t has opened up one of the longest shoots of high grade shipping ore yet found in the Cuprite district. The new equipment consists of a four drill ln- gersoll-Rand air compressor, belt driv- eu by a Fairbanks Morse engine, 20 H.. .P. Fairbanks engine and hoist, blower engine and other equipment including new and larger galloWs frame, etc.
 The main shaft is sunk on the in cline. about 70 degrees, following the vein, and a large tonnage of ore has been opened up above the 115 foot level. Drifts have been run both ways a distance of 150 feet from the shaft, or a total of 300 feet, showing a con tinuous ore shoot all the way, averag- ing from twelve inches to about three feet, much of the ore being high grade sulphides, glance and cuprite. The vein is still continuing strong in both faces of the drift; particularly in the east drift. where the size and value Of the ore body is the best yet opened up. Drifts have also been run fifty feet on the 75 foot level, the ore shipped from here averaging from 15 to IS percent copper in addition to the gold values.
 The company will push the sinking of the shaft to the 500 foot level, run ming drifts every six hundred feet, and will soon start stoping on the upper levels. So far all the ore shipped has been taken out during development work. sinking and drifting. no stoping having been done as yet. lt is conser- vatively estimatsd that over Sl0O,OOO worth of ore has been blocked out dur ing the past sixty days. With the new and larger hoist and machine drills running the company expects 10 be able to get a great deal more work done than during the past few months since taking the property over in Jan uary.
 A number of the larger stockholders and officers Of the company from MO bile. Alabama. have been visiting the property recently. among them being Geo. s. Leatherbury, Capt. Pat. Lyons mayor of Mobile, Thos. Lyons, C. A. Sibley. T. K. Jackson and others.

quate compensation law.

quate compensation law.
 It provides insurance to the employ CT and guarantee of fair compensa, tion to the injured workman.
 It provides state insurance to the employee at no cost to himself and at only actual cost to his employer.
 The injured person entitled to com pensation will receive it direct from the Industrial Accident Board of the state, promptly and without the as sistance of lawyers. It should meet no opposition from either employer or employee-it is good for both. It con tains no catches, come-backs or iokers-
 It protects the widow and orphan no less than the linjured workman.
 It safeguards these from the tricks and fees of a certain class of lawyers and from the technicalities of courts by doing away with the need of law yers.
 It provides payment of compensation at full rate during life and the contin- uance of permanent total disabilities.
 The employee knows and his family knows when he leaves home just what will be received if misfortune befalls him during the day. whether it is the loss of a toe or any minor or major injury between that and life itself.
 It comprises all that is best. clearest and most unequivocal in the Wash ington and New York compensation laws, considered the foremost in the country in liberality and protection, and goes all of them one better in clearness and in high payments.
 In reality it is plain accident insur- ance, guaranteed by the state and paid for by the employer. It is cheap CT for him than buying insurance from a company operated for profit. In cutting out litigation, it will reduce court costs and taxes for both the employer and the employe and for all other taxpayers.

pared with the production, but which is serious when it is considered that no decrease in the consumption is probable for some time to come. while there is a strong probability that the production will decline. It would not take a great change to wipe out the surplus Of 114,000,00O lbs, which is On- ly about two or three weeks supply.
 Probably if the surplus should dis appear the government would awake tO the necessity of encouraging pro- duction, but it can scarcely expect that producers will rush their plants to produce at a loss. Of course. there are many companies that are making good profits on the present price Of the metal and tlat would make more if the price should be advanced, but with the proposed increase in taxes on excess profits these companies would return a large part of thcir prof it's to the government so that little would be lost in this way. and the benefits through lhe increase ia the output would be great.
