high wages, such was not the case. Common labor appears to have been paid about $3 a shift. Skilled workers made from S4 to $5 a shift, with one or two men. presumably foremen, getting SG a shift One man, probably the manager or superintendent, was paid a salary of S300 per month.
 The sheet is interesting in cOmpaTi- son with present day wages. It should be remembered that every ounce of food in those days had to be brought in by team and freight was high, much higher than today.
 Should the old camp revive, as seems possible, ample rail facilities for shipping ore or receiving supplies, will be afforded by the trackage of the Fl aso & Southwestern railroad, running not more than half a mile from the present known mineralized zone and about a mile and a quarter by road from the Rankin property.
 Another group of claims in the dis trict which are said to have been de- velOped past the prospective stage, be- long to Robert Sasse of this city. NO work is being done on this property a5 present. however.
 During the last three or four weeks, net less than a dozen locations have been made in this district, if reports are to be credited. This revival Of interest looks good for the immediate future.

COPPER COMPANY
 OPENS BISBEE OFFICE

With a history dating back to the time when the Indians roamed over the country, an old copper mine near the United Verde is at last to be develop ed if present plans of A. J. Carroll. owner of the claim, mateTialize.
 A company called the Yaba Copper company has been formed and permis- sion granted by the Arizona Corpora ton Commission to sell a small block of stock to produce funds to develop the property. Samples have assayed around $7OO in copper. silver and lead and Mir Carroll is confident that the mine will prove to be a valuable pro- ducer
 The present owner who is an old eX perienced mining man and prospector. purchased the claim from an old In- dian who located it in 1878. MT Car roll has opened offices in the Allen Block and will remain in Bisbee for a few days interviewing local men who are interested in the property.

GUeeENHEIM INTERESTS Ac- CURE FULL OWNERSHIP OF IM- PERlAL COPPER CONTAIN MINES, ACCORDING TO AN NOUNcEMENT MADE
CONTINUE OPERATIONS
ORE RESERVES KNOWN NOT TO BE LARGE BUT NEW MANAGE MENT HOPES TO INCREASE THESE IN FUTURE AND WILL CONTINUE PRODUCTION

TUCSON. Aug. 3-Full ownership of the Imperial Copper Co. at Silver bell and the subsidiary properties Of the Sasco smelter and the Arizona Southern railway. an industrial line which serves the two. was acquired Monday by the American Smelling & Refining company. It is announced by Julius Kruttschnitt. IT,. southwest ern manager. The Guggenheim com pany already had a 65 per cent inter est. IL is reported that the consider atiOn for the remaining 8 per cent which was paid to the estate of Frank M Murphy. deceased. was about S125. 0OG.
 The operation of the mines and smelter will be continued as hereto fore. without changes in personnel or policy. Mir. Kruttschnitt stated The A. s. & R. acquired the operating rights of the Imperial Copper Co. and it's subsidiaries which owned the smell ter and railroad. in March. 1916. from Leo GCldschmidt. wilO had bid them in for the amount of the receivers certificates The resumption of op- eratiOns ot the mines and smelter two years ago was the source of great sat isfaction in Tucson.
 A small interest owned by George W. Dietz. who was associated with Mir Murphy in the original promo ton and who is now superintendent of the Arizona Southern railway. amounting to one per cent. was pur- chased at this time by the A. s. & R The Murphy interests comprised the ether 34 per cent.
 "We hope to make permanent oper atiOns of the mines" said Mir. Krutt- schnitt. "by development work As most of the ores smelted at Sasco come from Silver Peu it is very doubt ful if the shelter could operate inde- pendently of the mines"
 The mines were assessed S900000 by the state tax commission this year. valuation based on their earnings fer the previous year. The shelter assessment is around S40O 900 and the railroad is assessed at about 5000 mile, with a length of % miles. or S4e.OO0.
 The Silverbel mines yielded mil lions of dollars Of ore when operated by the Imperial Copper Co, which went bankrupt when extraction caught up with development Its ore reserves at present are known not Go he large but their possibilities have not been definitely exhausted.
 The smelter was owned by the Southern Arizona Smelling Co. The holding company was the Develop ment Company of America. Mir NIur- phy. under whose genius the eXten- sive operations of the holding com pany were conducted. died at his home in Prescott about a year ago
 The purchase will have no effect on the litigation of the bankrupt cOmpan ies. as the litigation has been com Pleted

found that there is reason 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 Juno ton line in the course of exploration out that way in its 1400 level. The established alertness and enterprise of C. & As engineering department immediately led to the undertaking of research in the area from the 1900 Of the Junction This work is understood to have advanced sufficiently to eX- tend encouragement to the belief that the joint efforts of Denn and c. & A. in the new zone will be productive of much importance to the district. De velOpment has not gone far enough to warrant a broader statement than this.

Historic Charleston, which in the early sos formed the background TOT a romance of no mean proportions and was the home of hundreds of men en- gagged in the production of silver, shows signs of coming back into act i've production, not only of silver and lead but of manganese and vanadlum With these two ores in view several people have gone out from Bisbee re- gently and much ground that for many years had lain vacant was relocated.
 Pioneers in the new field of endea- vor which is hoped and expected to revive this once great district, were Dr. w. F. Hankin of this city. William Freyne and Michael Gredell. the two latter being at work on group of claims they have located. Their work consists not so greatly in development of new ground as the prospecting Of the numerous shallow workings gOug- ed all over the hills to see what they can uncover On the dumps around the mouths of these old shafts, each of which figured in the old days in the receipts of the mill at Charleston, are several tons of rock which might pay well if sorted and shipped to the shelter Manganese in "flOwer" form has been found in a number Of the rocks.
 Old prospect shafts pit the hills on every side. Some of them evidently were considerable workings in the old days, extending several hundred feet into the bowels of the earth. Howev- CT. time has had its way with them and in many instances slides of earth and rock have covered up whatever naturalization may have shown.
 Charleston is another of the old ghost cities of the western mining days. In the old mill, long disman- tied because the low price Of silver made it's operation unprofitable. have been discovered pay roll sheets. en- tries of shipments from properties long since abandoned and other his torical data of the district The snip ment receipts show that some of the claims now held by Dr. Rankin and his associates once were active ship pers of silver-lead ore.

 anything like it. When in the early 9O's silver fell 10 3S cents. during Grover CIeveland's second administra- tion. silver camps came to a halt.
 Today. silver has gone up again and properties that have lain idle for thir- tv years are being re-onened, all over the country. In the Charleston dis trict chloride of silver and galena car rying some silver although with a hea- " preponderance of lead. have been opened up in fair sized veins. These comprise an additional reason why the old district is coming back.

 LIVING COSTS
Advance in Wages Amounted to 45 Per Cent; in the Same Period Staples Advanced 35.1 Per Cent

MIAMI. Ariz.. Aug. 1O.-Wage fn- crease in the Globe-Niami district from September of 1915 to July A of this year represents a total advance Cf 45f,.
 Increase in price between the same dates on an adequate list of staples to provide a normal table fare. represents a total of 35.1re This is in compari- sen with an advance during the same period in Los Angeles prices of 53ce.
 Most notable Of all is the showing made in the Globe-Miami district fig lure of an actual decline in retail pric- es between March l of this year and the present time Of 91C,. This decline has been in the face of steady ad vance made by wholesalers. It is the direct result of the cutting off by .Globe-Miami retailers of solicitors and delivery service. Decreased buying by the public has resulted and it has saved money in this way above the .9et gain. Inconvenience at first com Dlained of has been replaced by grati- ficatiOn with the money gain.
 The figures given are from a report just issued by B. B. von Senden. feder- al food administrator for Gila County who undertook to ascertain the exact facts as to Globe-Miami prices upon request of the employees of the Miami Copper Co. and the Inspiration Copper Co. The food administrator went into the books and behind the counters of retailers. checking his findings with bills of lading and receipts from wholesalers. between the dates of March l.. 1917 and July 9. 1918. At the same time he went into freight rates as prevailing between different points in Arizona and eastern and Pacific coast points from which retail CTS receive supplies. and into all other matters of cost Of conduct of business.
 The investigation was the direct Outgrowth of reports which had be- come of general circulation among Globe-Miami workmen that eXOrbitant prices were being charged by the re- tailers and high profits being earned. These reports had gained such Curren- cy and belief that serious dissatisfac- ton was extant The food admins trator in his report nhesitatingly charges German propaganda with the currency which the eXaggeratiOn gain ed. concluding with the following in structiOn:
 Now. as loyal American citizens. it is your duty to act as follows: IF A MAN OR WOMAN TELLS YOU ANY THING ABOUT FOOD OR ANY THING ELSE WHICH SEEMS PAT ENTLY UNFAIR, stop him right there and DIN HIM nOW-N AS TO NVTIEvRE HE GOT HIS INFORMATION. trace it down to see if it is perhaps German propaganda THEN. DON'T PASS IT ON YOURSELF. BUT REPORT TT TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES"
 The food administrator concludes his report with interesting tables of present prices in GlObe-Miami and oth- CT mining districts and cities of the state. and of Los Angeles, of which the following is the compilation:

The most encouraging feature in the analysis of copper production figures for the record month of July in Ari- zOna seems to be the showing of in crease in metal made by the two youngest producers in the Ist-Denn Arizona in the Warren district, and Iron Cap in the Globe district.
 Denn crossed the half million pound mark while Iron Cap made a million pounds. Both of these outputs reflect the spirit of patriotism and determina- tiOn 10 do all possible in Arizona in aid of the supply of war metal and CT gardless of high cost and other obsta- cles which would sidetrack enterprise under any other conditions.
 Denn has had expenditure of nearly two million dollars for development since a year ago. It made it's material showing in production in May with 264,O00 pounds, increasing to 345. .O00 pounds in June and jumping this up by more than 100000 pounds in July. Un- der normal conditions, Denn would be blocking out and throwing all energy into the development division instead of engaging in production Under war conditions it is crowding both produc- tion and development. Practically the same situation prevails with Iron Cap. which jumped its production from 500. 900 pounds in May to S50,0O0 pounds in June and to 100000 pounds in July. It is digging into splendid territory and like Denn will further extend itself.
 -Denn had two million dollars in vested in it prior to resumption of de- velOpment in June of 1917. The mon- ey has been in the property since 1904 and has earned not a cent of re- turn to the investors in either princi- pie or interest. Its production at pres ent is little better than paying the current costs of development The latter is mainly directed at the present time on the 160O level. No effort has been spared to push through on this level to connection that it is believed will be established with the ore bodies from which extraction is now being made on the 400 and 1900 levels The work has been in hard country. but un der the stimulus of bonus payments has been going fast July attainments are considered 10 have equalled ana probably exceeded the very best pre- viously accomplished in any property in the district under conditions O near similar character If the ore ii

 The Germans who so gaily started the practice of making air raids on enemy cities far behind the lines now bitterly regret they ever in- vented this method of warfare. For the allies are beating them at their own game. Most allied air bombers select the cities of Cologne and Mannheim for their targets, and these towns are being slowly laid in ruins. The people of Cologne and Mannheim have petitioned the Der lin government to enter if possible into an agreement with the allies to discontinue on both sides the prac- tice of bombarding enemyG towns from the air.
