ARIZONA PRODUCTION
 76,OO0,OOO POUNDS OF
 RED METAL LAST MONTH

July footage is considered to have equaled and probably exceeded the very best previously accomplished in any property in the district under conditions of near similar character. If the ore is found that there IS req son to expect on this level, Denn will be entered as one of the big mines of Arizona.
 Calumet & Arizona development division became interested in Denn findings early this year by reason of ore located by Denn next to the junction line in the course of eX- ploration out that way in Denn's l4O0 level The established alertness and enterprise of C. x As engineer ing department immediately led to the undertaking of research in the area from the 1000 of junction. This work is understood to have advanc- ed sufficiently to extend encourage ment to the belief that the joint ef- forts. of Denn and C. x A. in the new zone will be productive of much inn portance to the district. Develop ment has not gone far enough to warrant broader statement.

he had perfected plans for the con struction of a gun which would shoot at least 5000 miles, and which would be about 650 feet in length. The writer stated that this invention would in all probability end the war in jig time, as the gun could be erect ed at Sandy Hook and could easily shell the German positions from there.
 Governor Hunt did not know what to do with such valuable sugges- ton, and accordingly turned the mat ter over 10 his war department Col. Harris was also a little leary about carrying such secret about with him, and has taken Mir. Langston into his confidence The latter states that he will probably pigeonhole the mat ter, as he believes that it would not be good war ethics to lombard the retrcating Huns from such great distance. The inventor will in all probability be given the double O by a Maricopa county lunacy commis- sion in few weeks.

YAVAPA| LANDS IMPORTANT JOB
 FOR THE STATE
(From Sundays Daily)

Assessor C. E. Gentry of Yavapai has been accorded marked recognition by the Governor of Arizona in being appointed the delegate from this state to the National Tax convention which meets at St. Louis on Nov. II, when vital matters are to be considered af- fccting every phase of valuations and moulding a plan for nationwide guid- ance in raising revenues as the war continues.
 For Mir. Gentry to be singled out for this responsible duty seems sur prising when 1t is known that he IS the only assessor in Arizona of the fourteen to be selected for such an important work, and furthermore he is the only Republican assessor in any county of Arizona. The reason is obvious. Mir. Gentry for over twelve years has been a student. of taxation and IS now closing his first term as assessor of Yavapai county. He is regarded and rightfully so as an authority on matters of taxation, for outclassing any other official in Arizona this branch of the service, and ii is probably due to his well established record that the State Tax Commission has recommended his ap- pointment to the position accorded him by the executive. It IS an cX- ceptional case, considering that partl- sanship was disregarded and eff ciency was for once recognized.

 France, July - 1918
 It takes a long time to get started, but you must know the way of things, SO here goes.
 To begin with I had three days leave in London, before coming across the channel Saw few shows, and while in London stayed at the American Officers Inn," and what a dandy place!
 Ii is under Y. N. C. A. organization and the women who help in the kit chen. dining room and office are all people of standing and volunteer their time. There were real "Yank" girls there who can dance, sing and flirt. It's the only place in London to my way of thinking.
 There was only one British officer there besides myself, but they said II I was Yank to just hang my hat and pull up a chair.
 On the 27th I left for France and in the course of a week was posted to what is considered the best squadron in France. I guess I'm not supposed to tell how many Huns they have downed but they have few. One ot the Flight Commanders (minc) IS only 10 years old but has the NJ. C. and D. F. C. Military cross dis tinguishcd flying cross).
 There hasn't been a casualty for over a month. Just at present i'm an extra pilot won't go over the lines for several weeks, just fly on our side of the lines and learn the country. There isn't much to be frightened at any more, as the Hun air force is ih low state.
 For the last two weeks our patrols have only had one scrap and that at long range. Nou cant tell though when things will break loose.
 I hear you are on rations of a sort over there. I hope il hasn't gotten too bad. The food in France is bet ter than England. Things are plenti- ful here. The crops are all fine.
 Tonight is quite clear and you can hear the Jombers going over. You can see some of them.
 When you write address me 43 Squadron, K. r. C.. B. F.. F., France.
 I must close now. Best love and write soon.

The production of copper from Arizona smelters in July established a new record, the total exceeding the hi11L-ct previous output. Eliminating an estimate of half million pounds formerly accorded to miscellaneous shipments. mainly of concentrates to Pacific coast and eastern smelters, 76.573.507 pounds of copper was made in July. This figure is the approxi- mate total gathered by the Arizona Chapter American Mining Congress for Arizona and compares with A. OS5,023 pounds in June and 76,573,- 5O7 pounds in May, after deducting the estimate of miscellaneous ship ments from the May figures.
 July results were attained on 5l-day month, as was also the May record The figures for the last three months make certain, unforeseen in references expected, that Arizona's average monthly production for the year will be above 75,00000O pounds the month or more than S00,OOO,VO pounds of copper
 Practically every pound of Arizona copper Is going directly into war usage. In gain in production of the metal for aid in defeating the Kaiser, Arizona miners and mine operators are leading all other copper produc- ing divisions of the world by liberal margin. The July record in the face of unusual heat and some other un- toward conditions Is a particularly brilliant record for the Arizona men both above and below the surface in the copper industry and a splendid confirmation of the claims which have been made that the patriotism is more responsible than the dollar for the Arizona record in the present year.
 Money being earned by the Ari- zona producers of copper on their output Is materially less than the earnings of 1917 and 1916 Wages of the operatives of Arizona mines are the highest in the history Of any min ing division in the world Tn connec- ton with the employment of large bodies of men, but their profits on their labor are not proportionately high, although greater than since lol6. While advances in wages have more than met increased costs of living, advances in copper price have not equaled the advance in charges of various kinds. In addition, cop per producers are delivering con- siderable metal contracted for before the government advanced the price from 235lc. Some of these contracts cover a number Of months produc- ton.

 the analysis of copper production fig urcs for the record month Of July in Arizona seems to be the showing of increase in metal made by the two youngest producers in the list-Denn Arizona in the Warren district and Iron Cap in the Globe district
 Dcnn crossed the half-million pound mark while Iron Cap made a million pounds. Both of these out puts reflect the spirit of patriotism and determination to do all possible in Arizona in aid of the supply of war metal and regardless of high cost and other obstacles which would sidctrack such enterprises under any ether conditions.
 Dcnn has had expenditures of near lv two million dollars for develop mcnt since year ago. It made its first material showing in production in May with 264,O00 pounds, increas- ing to 345.OGO pounds in June and jumping this up by more than 100000 rounds in July Under normal condi- lions. Denn would be blocking out and throwing all hncrgy into the development division instead of en- gazing in production. Under war conditions it is crowdinG both pro duction and development. Practical lv the same situation prevails with Iron Cap, which jumped its produc- ton from 5OO,C0O pounds in May to 9-0.O0O pound, in June and 10 1000, coo pounds in July. It is digging into splendid territory and like Dcnn will further extend itself.
 Dcnn had two million dollars in tested in it prior to resumption of development in June of 1917. This money has been in the property since 1904 and has earned not cent of re- turn to the investors, aS to either principal or interest Its production at the present time is little better than paying the current costs of de vclopmcnt. The latter is mainly directed on the 1000 level. No effort has been spared to push through on this level to connection that 1t Is be- lieved will be established with the ore bodies from which extraction is now being made on the 300 and 1900 levels. The work has been in hard country. but under the stimulus of bonus payments has been going fast.
