has completed a programme for the
period that will follow cessation Of
actual hostilities that is even more
extensive than the work which for
more than a year and half has been
conducted in the training camps and
environments in this country, and
straight up to the fighting lines in
France and Italy, and wherever else
American armies have gone or may
yet so.
In exactly the same manner as
there has been effected unity Of mil
itary command among the armies that
have been driving the Hun 1egions
into defeat and dlsintegrntion. the
Knights of Columbus, working with
single determination as an American
organization in its welfare task for the
American fighting men, has effected
the spirit of cooperation requested by
the Government from the workers Of
the seven organizations whose effort II
has been to build and maintain tina
morale OF the conquering armies.
Lose than two months after the
Jew sh Welfare Board had entered
upon the task of extending its WEI
far endeavors into the military forces
that organization had accepted the
tender OF the use Of Knights Of Column

tional purposes but for religious SER
vices as well. at Camp Upton. L. I.

stantly recognized by the Knights Of

Khaki University Plans.
Under present arrangc ments every
army building and recreation hut near
or behind tho lines abroad, in England
rs well as France, is to be converted
into an educational institution. Youths
who volunteered or otherwise got into
the fighting units before their educa-
ton had been completed IN this coun-
try will have their interrupted studies
continued under conditions exactly as
efficient as those under which they
were studying in this country. The

successfully in this country, as witness
their mathematical classes at Fort

CYCLOPIC STRIKES
 RICH ORE SHOOT

Stanley c. Bagg returned from Los Angeles last Thursday night, making the trip overland by way of Needles and Oatman. He reports that the leasers of the Cyclopic reported to him while in Los Angeles that they have opened splendid body of ore in the stope, much of which shows free gold all through the mass. The men have been at work on the mine for some time and have made quite nice stake. The ore is broken down and hauled to the mill through an incline through automatic devices. The ore shaft and goes through the crushers and trommels and into the tanks through automatic devices. The ore is crushed to pass through a twelve mesh screen and the recovery is above 90 per cent of the gold contents. Most of the ore will pass through the screen without crushing, the whole zone of enrighment in the property being a brecciated material, with pipes of ore running in places to the surface, where it has hardened into a conglomerate mass.

SHORTAGE
 ESTIMATED BY GOV

The government in the operation of the railroads has estimated that there will be at least 25 per cent shortage in iron and steel during the year 1919 and that every particle of scrap will have to be saved to help out the sit uation. It is also estimated that there will be at least 25 per cent shortage of zinc, and at the present time cop per is getting behind in production and refining. Thus many of the metals will surely show a great short age throughout the country, and es- pecially for the manufacture of muni- tions. As copper and zinc enter into the munitions manufacture there '. is more reason why zinc and copper should be speeded up. Mohave coun- ty has many mines that could be pro ducing zinc heavily and it is too bad that these properties are not equipped at the present time. The Golconda and Tennessee could produce millions of pounds of metal, and other mines could be brought into production of copper with small expenditure. While Arizona copper is being produced in immense quantities, all the other states will show big falling off for the year. September shows over 18,- 00O,OO0 pounds decrease in the total production, which if continued for the other months will mean an alarming condition by the first of the year.
