MINING MEN MEETING
 TO-DAY IN PHOENIX

A call has been issued by Charles P. Reiniger and others of the Duques- na Mines, Cleve w. Var Dyke, of Mi ami; J. J. Fannigan, of Bisbee; J. c. Harper, of Jerome; and A. L. Groham, of Gila County, for a meeting of min ing men representing the small mines of the State. to be held in Phoenix, October 12. The meeting was calle for the purpose of bringing out the fact that under the proposed amend ment 100 small mining operators as we'll as the large operating companies of the state will be saved big sums of money and that the miners and others engaged in hazardous occupations will be far better protected than un- der the present system. The new rate for personal insurance is to be 1O.4O, while the proposed state rate is 1-2 per cent.
 The mining men and those wlio are to be directly benefited should look carefully into the proposed amend ment to the constitution of the state. This amendment will soon be in the hands of every voter and will be we'll worth comparison with the law now in existence.

YUCCA TUNGSTEN SHIPS
 S4O,OOO CAR CONCENTRATES

Last Tuesday the mining editor vis- ited the camp Of |, Yucca lungs ten Mines company where he found one of the best orGe. ed places in the county. The mill and mine is operat- ed by power from {; s,ation about two miles west of the main camp, where generators are operated by oil en- zines and power transmitted to a pumping station farther away and to the mill and mine iii!I Up on the mountain.
 The mill is a well designed and con structed plant and lhc saving of val ues by the process in use is high. Copper as well as tu, g3ten is saved, and as the copper concetrates also car ry from two to three per cent of tung- sten these concentrates will be clean ed in a new plant tat will soon bs installed and the coprer shipped direct to the smelter. The plant is capable of handling large tonnage of ore. The mine is opened by tunnel and winzes and shows q continuous shoot of good milling gra !e oles. Ore body is of good width and some magnificent crystals of tungsten have been found. The new deep tunnel on the property has opened backs of ere that will keep the mill pounding away for a year.
 The property since it has been taken over by the company has been under the management of Harvey klotsch. who has brought it up to it's present state of production. A carload of rich concentrates was shipped to New York last week that will bring near ly $40,000. With the installation of the new concentrating machinery the mill production will be greatly increased, making it possible to ship copper con centrates, as well as tungsten.

BUDDING AT BLACKBERRY
 ARE NEARING COMPLETION

The camp buildings, mill buildings end other improvements at the Hack berry mine are nearing completion, is the report of F. W. Sherman, whc charge of the work of construction, The mill is being rapidly assembled end the management expects it to be ready for it's tryout within the next 60 days.
 The crosscut on the goo of the Hack Terry mine has reached the wall and drifting into the big ore shoot will b,: under way in a few days. The open ing of the ore body or the 900 gives the property value in available ore second to none in the county. Hund- reds of tons of milling ere is being, op- ened on the various levels, which gives ire mill reserves that will last several years. The o,e carries average val ues above $20 per ton, while smaller streaks of ore may be mined that can Le shipped direct to the smelter with out dressing up.

VISIT WALDRON MINING
 COMPANIES PROPERTY

Last Saturday Charles H. Wagon CT and George H. Hill came in from the Waldron mines, where they had been looking over the properties MT. Waggoner had been in New York and other Eastern cities looking after the financial interests of the company and expects soon to have matters shaped up for the further development of the properties. The mines show excel lent naturalization and have been de- veloped to point where small addi- tional expenditure of money ought to bring the lower drift under the big ore body. The mine is we'll equip ped and no additional machinery will be needed. Machinery for milling plant is also on the ground.

RICO SHOWS 30 ID S6
 INCHES OF PAY ORE

The crosscut at the 200 level of the Rico has gone across feet of miner- alized vein and shows from 30 to 36 inches of pay ore. While no general sample of the ore has been taken at this point the ore gives evidence of being shipping value. The manage ment is driving ahead on the level and expect to open up an ore body of greater dimension than that on the 100 level.
 During the week M. c. Cleveland, of Buffalo, New York, visited the property and was we'll pleased with the showing that is being made. He departed to the coast Thursday even- ing, but will probably return to make an examination of the drifts on the new level.

THE SPOKANE GOLD CONFERENCE ASKS
 GOVERNMENT AID

Spokane, Wash., Sept. 24-COn- structive resolutions, advocating gov ernment action on concrete sugges- tions for improvement of the gold pro- duction situation, featured the three day international gold conference which has just been conclueded in Spo- kane. In every way the affair was a success. It drew an attendance from seven western states and the province of British Columbia. It was marked by harmonious sessions throughout and was the only meeting of it's kind yet held where something definite was outlined as a relief for an alarming condition. The conference was held under the auspices of the Northwest Mining Association with former United States Senator George Turner presiding.
 The most important action of the conference was the adoption of res olution favoring the payment of a bounty on all new gold produced in the country. This proposal was advo- cated in clearcut, forceful address made by Frank A. Ross of Spokane. Unanimous indorsement of the plan was peceded by a vigorous discussion of its provisions which brought out the vital points of the subject.
 The resolution asks for an enforce ment of the grant of priority rights given in the purchase and transpor- tation of materials, machinery and general mining supplies. It asks that the labor necessary to the operation of mines producing goldbearing ores be assigned to them; that the main line of motor trucks be built from railroad points into the distributing centers of promising but commercial inaccessible gold fields; that trails and wagon roads connecting with main roads be opened to promising camps; that fin ancial aid or credit be extended to such properties as may be judged cap able of producing appreciable quanti- ties of gold and other essential war metals; that bounty be paid upon every ounce of new gold, the amount to be determined from time to time by the proper authorities. The boun- ty would be sufficient to encourage the mining of gold-bearing ores by in- surfing reasonable profit therein, and would be considered a permissible war expedient and expense that in no way effects the international or standard value of gold.
 In answer to questions concerning the proposed bounty, MT. Ross ex- plain:
 Some people get the wrong idea of the bounty plan. Some are of the
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1918-10-12

opinion that it means an increase in the value of gold coin. Such is ab- solutely not the case. It is merely bounty paid to the producer of raw gold, and will in no way affect the value of piece of minted gold. The bounty paid on predatory animals does not increase the value of their hides or fur, and this gold bounty is on the same plan. No certain amount has been set per ounce for this bounty, but it will be, if accepted, as per war expedient."
 Another resolution adopted favors the extension of exemption from the assessment work on mining claims un- til the end of the calendar year follow ing the year in which the war ends.
 The convention also went on record in favor of the establishment of train ing camps for soldiers near the great mining centers and the employment of the men in the production of war ores as had been done in the production of spruce for airplanes stock.

COPPER REF|NER|ES ARE
 CLOCCED WITH METAL

Tie copper refineries of the country are now so far behind with their work that metal is piling up on them with cut anything being in sight to relieve the congestion. Lack of men is the reason assigned for the congestion of the plants. Every refinery has de- mands for refined copper far in ex- cess of their ability to deliver, and the smelters are consequently far behind on deliveries of soft copper for war materials.

PROCESS EXRACTS
 OIL FROM STALE

A Denver man has developed a rr' . cess for the extraction of oil and gas oline from shale, the recovery being high. So far the extraction of oil from shale has been rather expensive and the profit has been nil. With ;he new process it is believed that a large profit can be secured as the ex- pense is very low.

volunteer when trouble arose be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
and then when war was declared on
Germany he was among the first to
volunteer and go.
Dewey is one Of the many brave
young men who have helped to give

Hopes are expressed for a speedy
recovery and a pleasant homeward
journey.

THE CAUSES OF THE WORLD
CRASH

Life from the beginning has been
an nbroken continuity, and each past
great world-crises has had it's roots
deeply inbedded in past milleniums.
The present crises is not an excep-
ton, but its causes can be traced in
preceding history. That will be the
task of Rev, Oscar G. Klinger in his
sermon-lecture tomorrow night in
the Presbyterian church. All who
do not attend church elsewhere are
invited to hear this fourth study in
great subjects.

MR.. HOLLANDS REQUEST.

| would appreciate it very much if
the patrons of the independent Tel
ephone Co. would be charitable
enough to exercise little patience
in calling central, We have been
crippled badly by the influenza cpl
demic, and have been forced to get
new help--young ladies not familiar
with the board For this reason, we
have been unable to render the SER
vice we would desire. We kindly ask,
therefore, that the public exercise all
patience possible in calling central,
and curtail your calls as much as pos
sible until the situation is relieved.
BY so doing you will greatly oblige,
Yours sincerely,
H. E. HOLLAND.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.
Still On The Front.

Wednesday, Oct. is, 1918.
Dear Daddy, Ma and Betsy:
! don't guess you get tired of me
writing. know | don't get tired Of
hearing from you all. guess we are
all something alike about each other.
| am feeling pretty good, getting lots
of good eats now. / had hot choco-
late, rice, prunes and potatoes for
breakfast. For dinner, beef and
gravy, pork and beans, salmon, choc-
olate, bread and coffee. For supper
we are going to have hot biscuits and
! don't know what else. / hope you
are all well. I got letter from Omer
this morning. He was well and get
ting along all right, but hadn't
heard from home for a while. This
letter was written September 22nd.
Maybe he has written several times
since then. | got a letter from you
all five days ago and answered it the
same night. j got two letters from
Georgia this morning and a picture.
Would be glad to have a picture Of
you all if you have any made.
Well, it is still raining here and
muddy, too, but we have a pretty
good dugout with a stove in it; so we
get along pretty well. I have got to
be going, as am in charge of the
squad; so you see l am getting to
be some soldier. Some of our boys
got into some stuff that made them
.sneeze and eyes and throat burn, and
they went to the Red Cross home to
rest few days, but / think they will
be back in few days. The Huns
tried to keep our eyes smarting every
once in a while, as they don't like
what we send over to them.
| will wait a day or two to finish
my letter, as it isn't due to be mailed
until Sunday, to make it once a week
to write.
Thursday morning, the 18th.
Have ate good breakfast-hot

chocolate-pretty good for Uncle
