SNAKE OF RARE BEAUTY
Head Bright as Copper and Body Fine.
Iy Spotted.


While returning home with an auto
party recently when near Bronson,
Ky, VIII Bradley discovered large
copperhead snake crossing the road in
front Of his machine.
Steering the machine accordingly,
he ran over the snake, which some
what impeded its progress. He then
alighted and killed the snake, which
proved to be one of the prettiest speci-
mems of the copper head family ever
seen in this part of the state.
Being a female, its head was as
bright as FURNISHED copper, while TIE
underneath portion of its body was al
most equally bright. Its back and
sides were covered with the most beau
tiful spots, and It's fangs, with which
II delivered its bite, were extraordin-
arily long.

CONGRESS SEEKS
 -r, 10 ALLEVIATE , GOLD SITUATION
Mining Men Call Attention to ParIous Conditions Existing Among Miners of Largest Camps
Special to The Review)

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The
 American Mining Congress. composed of 75 per cent of the producing op-
 orators of the country, is sounding an alarm intended to secure early relief
 for gold producers in the United States. There is danger that unless
 some such relief is accorded by con
 gress. thousands of gold miners will be out of employment and millions of dollars worth of equipment will lie
 idle until cost of production can be ad-
 iusted The mining congress is act ing promptly to prevent disaster. Re ports from such camps as Cripple Creek indicate that while producers dislike to stop the operation of prop critics and producing forces which have been years in organization, not wheel will be turning in most Of the district in three months unless some relief is agreed upon. Startling
 figures have just been placed before Senator Henderson and Congressman Foster. chairmen respectively of the committees on mines and mining by James F. .Callbreath. secretary of the
 mining congress and the attention of
 several administration leaders and off cials is being called to the situation.
 All gold producers in the country are called to a conference which opens in
 Reno. Nevada, August 12th.
 Governor Boyle. of Nevada, will pre- side and Secretary Callbreath will as-
 semble and present to the conference concrete suggestions assembld from lconcrete suggestions assembled from lly that unless the administration quickly meets the situation gold pro duction will be automatically shut or
 and this within a short time.
 In an interview with a group Of
 western senators Mir. Calbreath said:
 I've are spending annually more than our total indebtedness at the be- ginning of the war. We are more than doubling our gold obligation this year ' but are making no provision 10 in- crease the supporting gold reserve
 "The worlds obligations are only
 about four times our gold reserve. Our financial position is still most enviable as compared with our allies. The gold
 reserves of the world are approximate lly S1O.OO0.00 while the total indebted ness is being increased to Sl25,OOO.- IOOO 900. The increase is about S40,0O0.- O0O .O00 annually. Refore the war the United States possessed approximate IIy one and three-quarter billions or
 dollars in gold and today we have in-
 creased our reserve about three and lone-half billions of dollars against an indebtedness of eight billions of dol lars. This indebtedness is based upon
 the gold supply In 1915 we produced
 little over S1O1 100000 and this. in
 the face of greater need fell to less
 than 5000. 900 in 1917 The produc- lion will fall B per cent below that figure this year under present condi-

These figures provide strong dOcn- mentary and cash confirmation of the claims advanced as to the vital import ance of the mining industry in Ari- zona The state would have only about one-fifth of the nancy it needs to con- duct it's business if the mining coun- ties were eliminated from returns with their mines. The valuation of the lat ter rests upon the amount of metal they are able to get out.
 Railroad income. money in trade channels and in the banks is propor- tionate to the figures shown in the re- turns of valuation from the mining counties. They are responsible for at least One-fifth of all the business orig mating in the state and for equally as much of all money in the banks and for considerably more than that proportion of the business wtlicn makes it possible for railroads to oper- ate in Arizona.
 The mid-year situation of the mines in the various copper districts of the state is the best that has prevailed at any time since the first call for vol unteers and the beginning of the draft for service in the war In spite of many obstacles they are producing more copper than ever before and their forces are continuing to weld closer and closer with the managements in the joint endeavor to keep up un- broken output of copper The closer relations between operators and opep- atives is without question in great part responsible for the big results that are being sustained in production. Dis turbers no longer find encouragement or place: workers are the first to re- port their activities and ask their re- moval They want none of them. in any guise. They all class with Ger man agents the minute their mission to make disaffection is disclosed, and are dealt with accordingly.
 It is true that here is a shortage of labor and a shortage Of technical men. and that both Of these will be furter accentuated as the draft pro ceeds. It is hoped that when the federal employment service gets its organization in working order it will be able Co help with easement of this situation. The plan the government has worked out for the direction of this service will be effective if it gets the application which Is intended and winch the employers have repeatedly signified their desire to facilitate ,n every way possible.

With eight more properties install ing reduction plants, among them the United Verde Extension and the Brad shaw Development cOmpany's custom works getting ready to treat, and a score of new properties ready to be- gin shipping on a steady basis, the in coming year should see Yavapai mln- eral output swelled to a productive basis of easily over S150,000,G00. Only two of the above producing mines, the United Verde and the Consolidated Arizona, treated their outputs at their own plants during the year, the rest shipping to market.
 The Arizona state tax commission recently completed its work in assess ing the producing mines. This report shows a considerable increase in val uation for the year 1918 over that of 1917, the total increase being more than S90, ,O00. This figure does not include personal property CT real estate other than mining claims owned by the companies. In Yavapai county the figures given out by the commis- sion are as follows:

By P. R. MINES.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Aug 1.-The as sessed valuation of the producing mines of Yavapai county, for the year ending June 30. 1918, reached the as- tonishing sum of SSS.413,730, an in- crease over 1917 Of S25. .99O,O69. These figures have recently been compiled by the assessor O. Tavapai county, and have been given publicity for the first time. They re yeal sn industrial si;ua- tion which will be learned with sur prise The above sum means that the revenue to be derived from nEhlng will reach in taxes paid, over SSSOCG0, and does not include patented Iniles, operating plants, smelters, machinery kindred to mining development and improvements made on different classes of properties.
 The total assessed valuation of al property in Yavapai county. fer ,he current year is computed approximate ly at S130,00O,00O from which it is evident that minestand miIiiag, bear the heavy burden of raising over three-fourths of the revenue derived from taxation in Yavapai county. The above production also shows that the output of mines in Yavapai have ad- vanced more than 30 per cent in inc past year and without taking into con sideration what the yield has been of the small properties, which under the law are not classed as being taxable. but in the aggregate would reach to many hundreds of thousands addi- tionaL The copper mines which make up the above, are as follows:
