TOWNSMEN IN
 THE FIELDS.

PHOENIN, Ariz., July 25.-There
 Is suggestion that to Arizona be ex-
 tended a movement that is finding
 high favor in many eastern and west central states-that or organizing
 town and city dwellers to help in har- vesting the crops. Many professional men are taking their vacations in the fields, gaining new experiences and re newing their Tagging energies and receiving a decent wage at the same time, to these benefits adding the con sciousness that they are doing a good and patriotic service. The town of Carthage, Mo-, sent 300 such men out to the farms, supplementing the serv- ice of thc Boys Working Reserve. In some towns there has been establish ed a Wednesday half-holiday, in which the workers in the stores go to the fields. During July every Wednesday is a full holiday for this purpose. The daylight saving time schedule, in other places has been utilized in sending shop mechanics into the grain fields, there to work for the balance of the daylight. In one Illinois railroad town enough men have been secured from the shops to shock up all the wheat that has been harvested in the vicinity, the workers hurried in autos from the railroad yards to the fields. Much l grain is said to have been saved by such methods.

BURDEN OF TAXATION
 IN YAVAPAI MINES
(By P. R. Milnes)

PRESCOTT, Ariz., July 25.-The
 assessed valuation of the producing mines of Yavapai county for the year
 ending June 30, 1918, reached the as
 tonishing sum of $6S,413,73O. an in- crease over 1917 of $25, ,39O,O69. These
 figures have recently been compiled
 by the assessor of Yavapai county and have been given publicity for the first time. They reveal an industrial situa- tion which will be learned with sur prise. The above sum means that the revenue to be derived from mining will reach in taxes paid, over $S80,000, and does not include patented mines, op- erating plants, smelters, machinery kindred to mining development and inn provements made on different classes of properties.
 The total assessed valuation of all in Yavapai county, for the current year is computed approxi- mately at $13O,OOO,0OO from which tt is evident that mines and mining, bear the heavy burden of raising over of the revenue derived from taxation in Yavapai county. The above production also shows that the output oh mines in Yavapai have ad- vanced more than 30 per cent in the past year and without taking into con sideration what the yield has been of the small properties, which under the aw are not classed as being taxable, put in the aggregate would reach to many hundred of thousands additional. .

SOL LDIERS IN FIELD AND
 CAMP GET MANY BOOKS

The war service committee of the American Library association reports that 435,OOO books were shipped to American soldiers in France up to July l. The books went in tonnage space granted at the request of Gen. Pershing on the decks of transports, where they were used by the men on the voyage and repacked for us in France; in naval vessels for naval bases abroad; and in Red Cross ton mage for the hospitals in France and England.
 A total of more than 2,5O0,000 books have been supplied by the American Library association to the camps and stations in the United States and over seas. Approximately 5O0,OOO of these books were purchased, the others hay ing come as gifts from the American people through the public libraries of the country. Nearly 40 library build ings have been erected, and 600 camps in America alone, have received col lections of books.
 Two hundred librarians, including leaders in their profession in this country, are giving their time to li- brary war service. Most of these are serving as camp librarians, assistants and organizers in the field; others are in dispatch offices for the ship ment of books to France.

MUST SEARCH OUT
 ALIEN OWNED PROPERTY

Arizona county councils of defense are urged to assist the federal off cers in their search for alien-owned property. There should be included ev- cry piece of property, including money, owned by persons residing in enemy countries or corporations incorporated in enemy countries, taking account of cash, securities, chattels, lands, ac- counts receivable, etc. Action should be taken at once, to prevent sale of such property and diversion of the proceeds to the use of the enemy.

The Arizona copper mines scored another great record in the June out put of the red metal. Approximate figures gathered from the various producers show the months total to have reached 74,O85,O23 pounds, as compared to the approximate produc- tion of 75,711,5 ,5O7 pounds in May. Some decrease in the output of small mines of custom ore to the smelters, due to the advance in freight rates and the Encouragement which attended failure of the industrial board to rec ommend a higher metal price in June lowered the output of practically all the smelters to some extent.

 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 score of new properties ready to begin shipping on steady basis, the incom- in gyear should see Yavapai's mineral output swelled to a productive basis of easily over $15O,OOO,OOO. Only two of the above producing mines, the United Verde and the Consolidated Arizona, treated their outputs at their own plants durin gthe year, the rest shipping to market.
 The Arizona State Tax commission recently completed it's 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 S9O,0OO,O0O. This figure does not ! include personal property or real es- tate other than mining claims owned . by the companies. In Yavapai coun- | y the figures given out by the com mission are as follows:

The big mines held to their swing of the previous month and under pres sure of the need of the government for every pound of copper that can be made, they and their men made up a considerable part of the loss from the small shippers.
 The following table according to the Superior Sun" gives the amount of copper produced during the month of June by several of the prOduing com panies of the state. The total is less than last month due to the falling off in custom ores received at the smelt- CTS from the small producers.
