GREAT FUTURE
 FOR MINING

One thing among many others that the war has done is to give the east a better understanding as to the needs and value of the mines of the west.
 When the war came on, and with it a tremendous demand for metals, the mines at once assumed an importance they had never before held. To enable the nation to win the war, the mines had to produce liberal output under most adverse conditions; and this they accomplished to an extent beyond criticism.
 Many old mines and numerous pros poets are held idle at present time, the owners only awaiting advent of more propitious times to start de velopment operations. Present gov erning facts can only mean that when better national conditions materialize there will be a record revival in min ing, more substantial than boom, and of continued duration, says Mining and Financial Record.
 All the mining industry needs is encouragement in the way of fair legislation and taxation and if prices must be regulated let them be high enough to assure good returns to the men risking their capital in develop ment enterprises and good wages to the workmen.
 In a statement to senate mines com mittee on ore control bill, c. F. Kelly of the Anaconda company said the bill would establish control over en- tire mineral industry of country.
 Such measures are not necessary under present government regulation and would discourage rather than en- courage production, a fatal mistake at this time.

MEETS DIFFICULTIES IN
 LEARNING FRENCH

One difficulty that our soldiers in France have in learning to speak French like the natives is that collo- ouial French has so many humorous or slang synonyms for the perfectly good words that might be used. A French English dictionary with a sug- gestion of Doctor Johnson's habit of ihterpolating the photographers per sonality into his definitions, hits off this idea under the word ventre: 'Belly, abdomen, in the slang of those who never call things by their proper names, stomach"
 The war has seen an astonishing list of these variations from normal words invented by the lively fancy of the poilu (itself one of these invented substitutes, standing, of course, for the good word soldat).
 Another difficulty that the Ameri- can soldier has in his struggle to pick up French is humorously illustrated by the remark attributed to Sammy lover there" "Those people know how to spell their language, but they don't know how to pronounce 1t Here's win, for example; do you know what they call that? Why, van. And when you've learned how to spell cat in French-they spell it with an h. chat-they pronounce it sha;"-Out- look.

HIS DAY FOR CAKE

A man may be rough-looking and yet have a touch of sentiment about him.
 A ragged, unkempt-looking man ap- peared at the door of woman's house and, in pleading tone, asked:
 Have you a piece of cake, lady, to give a poor man, who hasn't had bite for two days?"
 "Cake?" echoed the woman in sur- prise. Isn't bread good enough for you?"
 Ordinarily, yes, ma'am. But this is my birthday" explained the tramp Tit-Bits.

This magnificent canyon is situated to the east of St. George, Utah, and is one of the most beautiful works of nature in the southwest. While it is not universally known to tourists 1t has been visited by many people of Utah and other states. Sometime ago an exploring expedition of the geolOgi- cal survey went into the canyon and found some of the most wonderful flowers and shrubs that any country ever produced. One of the flowers was similar to the cosmos, but had a bloom over three feet in diameter. The canyon is at the head of the Virgin river, or on one of its tributaries, and is easily accessible. It is close to the Mohave county line, the country south of the canyon being settled by home steaders.-Ed.

ZION MONUMENT THE GORGEOUS

President Wilson has enlarged the wonderful Mukuntuweap National monument, in Utah, and changed its name. It is now officially known as -ne Zion National monument, which is immeasurably better from every point of view.
 The old name, besides being hard to pronounce and remember, was obscure in origin and was never used except officially. The new name is that m popular use. Besides, it crystallizes the romantic history ot this amazing ly beautiful valley; the surround ing country was settled by MOrmOns many years ago, and this difficult canyon was chosen as a refuge in the event of Indian attack, and called Little" Zion to differentiate it from Big Zion which was Salt Lake City. Since then it has universally been call ed Zion canyon.
 The enlargement of the Zion Ma tional monument follows naturally upon its recent thorough exploration and the discovery of outlying areas of altogether extraordinary scientific in terest and scenic grandeur. That its fantastic cliffs, its sensational color ing, and it's romantic conformation will bring it national popularity as a resort is manifest destiny. It has been called, for good reasons, ''the little Grand Canyon" and "the desert Yo- semitic" but it is no miniature of either; its individuality is marked.
 The original monument was created by proclamation in 1909, but, being well outside the highways of ordinary travel, it was not thoroughly explored until within the last two years. Off cial investigation and action promptly followed.
 Among the numerous geologic fea- lures of interest,"" wrote Secretary Lane to the president, 1.-two deserve more than passing notice. The Yer million Cliff, so called because of its brilliant color, famous, since the days of Maj. Powell's exploration, as one of the most remarkable in the world, an escarpment more than 100 miles long and so precipitous that it can be scaled in few places, passes through | this monument. It consists of red sandstone 1000 to 2OO0 feet thick and overlaid by 1000 feet of glistening white sand. These two form single cliffs nearly 5000 feet high. These re- markable walls bear evidence that the sand gathered in desert in ages long past-that here was great prehis- toric American Sahara.
 ''The second feature of unusual in- terest lies immediately above the sand for the desert was destroyed by the in- cursion of sea water, which covered i the drifting sand and buried it be- .cath gypsum and beds of limestone in which were entombed the shells and bones of sea animals"
 The tortuous outlying canyons and monumental rock formations added by the new proclamation make an area as remarkable in its particular way as the Grand Canyon. There are several neighboring natural bridges of magni- ficence.

GRADUATES IN LAW

Thomas S. Kerr, at one time princi- pal of the Kingman schools, has just been graduated from the Ann Arbor, Michigan, law school. Mir. Kerr has mary friends in this county who will be pleased to learn that he has been successful in his law studies and hopes that he may come to Arizona to take up the practice of his profession. He has had number of misfortunes since leaving Kingman in the way of losing his home by fire, illness and other un- fortunate occurrences, but he has bravely survived them and is sure of a successful future.

THE CHAUFFEUR
 OUT OF LEDGE

Many people in and around King man know George Roper, mining man and prospector, and his propensity to drive q car faster than it will go, or ought to go. All who have ridden with him will appreciate the following lit tie poem by a Los Angeles man, who visited the mines in New York noun tains and took the ride with him over the desert: THE CHAUFFEUR OUT OF LEDGE He was a portly gentleman, and dig nified and tall, And muscular as Sampson when he shook the temple wall. His blood was Anglo-SaXon with its source far in the past, But in his face one could discern a strange Teutonic cast. His words were feT ;he pOndered much; a thinking man was he, Whose heart, with friendly pulses, beat a welcome out to me.
 II. He wore a wide sombrero, and his vel low goggles set Like those upon the village doctor down at Unyunset. Betimes he puffed his briar and he piped a merry lay About a British soldier and skirt of Hindu hay; But with it all his grip was firm upon the stubborn wheel, And Hunkatin responded as she kicked a nifty heel.
 III. Through sandy ridge and hollow where the yucca takes the sun, We skinned the crooked highways as the motor spit and spun. The tires burned with fever as they whirled thru miles of grit, And spurted sandy showers as they skidded into it. An, there was joy in fleeing like a rabbit scared to death, And there was joy in breathing when you couldn't catch your breath.
 ". There were no country constables to check our wild foray, ] Through juniper and cactus where the little bunnies play, As he, the chauffeur out of Ledge with grim, determined face, Plead madly with his Hunkatin to sci a wilder pace. She sputtered and she spat and sped inspired as it were, Like some young hothouse maiden when you hand the bull to her. V. An, we'll do I remember, twas a Sab bath, warm and bright, We shot across the desert like a hv' in gflash of light, Through thirty miles of silica, from Roperville to Golf, We fed her liquid fire and we never turned it off; And if Elijah saw us from his charot's fiery edge, He surely doffed his halo to the chauf- feur out of Ledge.
