BOYS Gather Ior Lo SSo1

"Have you a pig?" is the newest slogan of war activity. that of pro- el,1cing more pigs for pork to help win the war The many branches of government activity nave been turn ed loose to boost the hog population.
 Community efforts seem likely to be centered almost as much on the hog as upon gardening and various plans will be followed. The out standing plan, according to Charles %. Robinson in the Live Stock Re- port" will make the pigs a neigh borhond, municipal and regional issue. What already has been done in Manitoba will be generally done.

ARIZONA STRIKES
COST TAXPAYERS
OVER $4,000, 600

Tax payments of copper producers
in Arizona this year to county and
state will be about one cent the pound
on every pound made. The produc-
ton will probably be a little better
than 700,OO0,000 pounds, meaning up
wards of $7,000,000 paid by the cop
per producers in sustaining county and
state. But for the interferences by l.
w. w. and other pro-German and radi-
cal influences which caused the shut
ting down of several large properties
during part of the year, there would
have been 300,OOO,OOO more pounds of
copper made this year than there will
be record of.
There is thus loss of $3,0OO,O 900 to
the taxpayers that they would have
received except for the disturbances
of the summer
In addition to the county and state
taxes paid, the copper producers will
pay from three cents the pound up to
twelve cents to the Federal govern
ment in various taxes due to the war,
thus lifting a minimum of $21,000,000
that would otherwise fall upon the tax
payers in general.

FanSett To Tell the
WOmem HOzg, Gems
Are Mined

Mr.. George r. Fansett, rock analyst
of the Arizona state bureau of mines,
who is to be in Ray on January IL,
18 and 10, giving course in mineral
ogy for the. prospector, at the Ray
Con. club, will also have treat for
the women while in town.
Mr.. Fansett is going to lecture on
TGems and Precious Stones" Most
women think of them only as orna-
ments, and it will be extremely inter-
esting to learn of them as mining
problems and hear something about
the methods used in preparing them
for market and putting them in form
to be used as ornaments.
Gems, as a rule, come from remote
parts of the country, and the scenes
that will be shown as lantern slide
lectures accompanying Mr.. Fansett's
lecture will show up many oddities.
Also the care and treatment of gems
will be discussed, and those hearing
the talk will know their precious
stones in another way than as orna-
copper producer to the state of
Mr.. Fansett will be in town for three
days, and the people will be given the
opportunity to get acquainted with
him, and his friends, the minerals,
most intimately. He will be pleased
to give the people of the community
all the service they may desire.

GaIovich Starts the
Neze, Year in Tolls
of the L0zV

An Austrian by the name of Mike
Galovich, living on American Town
site, was arrested New Years day,
charged with disturbing the peace,
having been beating up his wife. He
and his wife had been under surveil-
lance for some time and Officer Hen
derson had been called there Satur-
day night in answer to complaint
that they were raising a rough house,
but finding nothing much wrong let
them go. After being arrested New
Years day Galovich acted so suspi-
ciously that Constable Lewis and Dep
uty Sheriff Henderson swore out a
search warrant, and searching the
house found two barrels of wine and
quantity of whiskey.
A fine of $25 for disturbing the
peace and another of $50 for carrying
brass knuckles was assessed against
Galovitch when he and his wife were
given preliminary hearing Thursday
morning. Both Galovitch and his wife
were bound over to the superior court
for having liquor in their possession
and bail fixed at $500, which amount
it was stated, would be probably fur
nished, but had not been secured at
the hour of going to press.

RYLEY TASTEFULLY
THANKS HIS DONORS

Camp Kearney, CAL, Dec. %, II.
To the Ladies of Ray:
Dear Friends-Under every mans
coat there beats sort of a tum-tum
arrangement which, as a general rule,
keeps a-going slow and steady. But
every once in a while, when least ex-
pected, something happens which gets
under his coat and touches deep into
that arrangement.
Such was the case with me when I
received your timely and useful Christ
mas present. In an instant I was
again in Ray, Arizona-go going to work
with my old friend Ralph Whitney,
working at the drill machine with
Uncle George Morgan, or hurrying
home from work so as play a con-
home from work so as to play con-
haps to dance few dances with some
of those who sent me my dandy COM
fort kit.
I don't know how I can thank you
for remembering me so kindly, but /
do know your gift is the most appre-
ciated of any 1 received, because !
can take it right along with me to
France.
God bless you for the work you are
doing and for the wonderful way you
are "doing your bit" May the com
ing year be as good to you as you
have been to

PRICE
OF COPPER IS
ABOUT 10 CTS.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Jan. 4.-Costs
attending the mining and smelling Of
copper ore have increased about two
cents the pound over the state since
the price of copper was fixed at 231a
cents in September. Where ore is con-
centrated before going to the smelter,
the increase in cost has been still
greater. The advance in fuel has been
a main item in the creation of the
higher cost of copper production. Ad-
vances have also occurred in other
supplies. The higher cost of fuel, and
the prospect that it will advance still
more, however, is the main cause of
present concern. In some camps they
have turned to cutting wood.
Adding two cents to copper cost on
board car at the smelter, and then
adding 21a cents for freight and elec-
trolytic charges before the copper is
put on the market in New York, re-
duces the price actually being re-
ceived for the output of the Arizona
smelters to 18 cents. War taxes are
yet to be added to cost and will range
from cents the pound for some COM
panies to IL cents the pound for 9TH
ers. Accepting the minimum of 8
cents, copper will be put on the mar
ket in New York for actually Is cents
instead of 231s cents. Because of
higher wages and higher cost of all
supplies, Is cents the pound for cop
in 1914.
These approximate figures are
based upon returns recently made to
the Arizona Chapter, A. M. c., from all
over the state. They apply equally to
copper producers throughout the west,
those of some of the other states be-
ing indeed under more of a burden of
costs than Arizona. AS applied to the
small producer, the leaser and the lit
tie operator, their burden is Of course
much greater. The small producers
have heavy costs in all instances for
transportation, both of ore and sup
plies, which are minimized by the big
producers with their own railroad ia
cilities direct to mine and plants. The
small producer also has charges for
ore reduction to meet which must be
based on allowances of a fair profit

FIRES SET BY
THE ENEMY IN
NINE AND FARM

GLOBE, Ariz., JAN 4.-Destruction
by fire of the shaft of the chief pro-
ducer of molybdenum in Arizona, a
metal in great demand in gun making,
destruction by fire of a newly erected
mill in the north, fires in the mines
at Clifton, fire in the United Verde
Extension mine at Jerome, fire at the
Higgins mine in Bisbee, a series of
bad fires in the town of Miami, a
serious conflagration in the town of
Jerome, and a bad fire in Clarkdale,
provide additional evidence of the
widespread organization for the de-
struction of properties associated with
the output of war materials in metal
and crops which has recently appar-
emily centered in the cotton and bean
areas of the Salt River valley. The
Clarkdale fire and fire in the Edith
shaft of the Verde Extension occurred
in November and in the first week of
December. The other mining dis
trict fires were of occurrence during
the summer.
Salt River valley fires have been of
occurrence in every month since June,
when I. W. w. began the use of Phoe-
nix as a distributing point and since
when they have about Phoenix at all
times in large numbers In none of
the fires in the mining districts have
there been positive proofs of incen-
diarism established, any more than
there have been in the cotton fields,
or that dynamite exploded in houses
and thrown upon roofs in the Globe
district did not convey itself to the
points of explosion, use and of it's own
initiative explode for purposes of in
timidation.
In the mining districts the employ
ment of guards for properties and the
exercise of strict watchfulness over
entrance to The properties was meas
ure that fires and other attempted
damage to properties beginning in May
and June, together with ordinary war
time precaution about war material
plants, was necessary. Such guard
ing of property is expensive, but has
doubtless prevented great deal of
damage and large loss of metal output
in the mining districts and needs be
maintained competently more than
have to adopt similar course.

trict fires during the summer, it is a

FIELD MEET Of
CAVALRY TROOP
IS REAL TREAT

The field meet given by Troop D.,
18th cavalry, last Sunday was a treat
and greatly enjoyed by all. Ray
turned out in mass formation to wit
ness the events and many expressed
a hope that Captain Christian and his
men would give us some more at an
early date.
Many of the stunts performed con-
stitute a vital part of the training of
cavalryman and were not alone for
amusement. The rescue race had a
scouting party out on dangerous
errand near the enemy lines and be-
ing discovered. At signal, their
comrades rush to their rescue and
bring them back inside their own
lines. Privates Wood and Wagner
won first place in this event.
The old-time monkey drill, discarded
in present-day training, was ably pre-
sented by some of the boys older in
the service. Private DeFields took
first prize and Private Wood was a
close second.
Other events were as follows:
The high jumping contest was won
by Sergeant Arledge. Private Hick-
man took second.
Equitation Drill-Private Seider,
first, and Sergeant Wilson, second.
Shoe Race-Recruit Frazier, first,
and Fitzgerald, second.
Sack Race-Recruit Doty, first, and
Gordon, second.
Saddle Race-Wagner, first, and
Seider, second.
Mounted Wrestling-Won by De-
Fields.

HUN METHODS
BROUGHT HOME
BY CANADIANS
Lieut.. Crozier and Sergt.
Bury Thrill Rayites with
Trophies from Front

German barbarities and German
kultur were brought home to Ray in
a way that will not soon be forgotten
Thursday evening, when Lieutenant
Crozier and Sergeant Bury of the
Canadian recruiting mission told of
life in the trenches and displayed tro-
phies captured from the Hun. An
audience that packed the ,Airdome
heard the addresses and roundly
cheered the speakers.
How the German passion for cruelty
has even run away with the much
vaunted efficiency of the Teuton was
shown in the German type of bayonet
exhibited, the blade being saw-toothed
and jagged in order to tear as large
fiendish device acts as boomerang,
as many a German soldier has paid
with his life for not being able to
extract the bayonet from victim in
time to repel another attack. The
smooth-bladed bayonet of the Allies,
a thousand times more humane than
the German method of butchering,
was shown in contrast.
The effects of gas attack and the
remarkably short space of time in
which death ensues if the soldier is
not protected almost Immediately by
putting on gas mask was outlined,
and the use of the gas mask demon
strated. Other relics taken from the
Germans, including pieces OF smells
and the rifles used were shown.
Lieut.. Crozier and Sergeant Bury
held the large audience fascinated as
they told incident after incident and
piled fact upon fact in their scathing
denunciation of the power that is
seeking to overthrow the world and
rule by the might of it's mailed fist
and iron heel, and it is safe to say
that every Rayite who heard the talks
carried home keener realization of
what we are fighting for, and deeper
devotion to our gallant allies.
What Canada and other dominions
of the great British Empire have sac
rifieed and are sacrificing to make
the world safe for little nations and
little children was forcibly brought
out.

SMALL PRODUCERS
ARE DROPPING OUT

Small shippers of copper ore are
steadily dropping out of production
and shutting down their properties in
different parts of the state, because
the government fixed price of 231a
cents per pound does not afford them
opportunity to earn profit on the ris-
ing scale of costs for all materials
they employ.
Probably million pounds of cop
per the month has thus far been cut
off, with a great deal more IN early
prospect. At the same time much
valuable development has been
stopped.

for the work. For electrolytic treat
New York market he pays the same
as the large producer, and adds, as
the large producer does, the commits
sion for marketing his metal. So the
small producer, as a matter Of fact,
must have a considerably higher re-
turn from his ore than the large pro-
ducer or he cannot possibly get by.
He gets the higher return by mining
high grade. When he is depleted OF
that, he is through. His only saliva
ton is in a price for the metal that
will enable him to lower the average
value of his shipments.

we constantly receive from our
friends and loved ones there. Most of
the fellows received the comfort kits
from the ladies of Ray. the books
from Mrs. Gates, the tobacco from
the school children and the safety
razors and knife from the Ray Con.
Your thoughtfulness is more keenly
felt probably than you imagine, since
l believe everyone has made an al
lotmeft and taken out insurance for
his loved ones, thus limiting his CAPT
tai greatly. And tell the dear school
children that we appreciate their 10y
atty and trust in us, and that we're
going to win the war, because therell
be no shirkers, and when we face the
enemy we'll mean business, and that
Ray, Pinal county. Arizona, will be
well represented.
We're all working hard, have gained
weight, are well fed, well clothed, and
we'll treated. Every one is good
shot, can use the bayonet, throw a
bomb, or operate the automatic rifle;
in fact, we're really glad we're here.
