WAR SAVINGS.

Stamps are the most democratic o1 investments and America expects ev- cry American to show love of republl- can institutions by investing in this democratic security. The aggregate amount of the investments and the number of investors in these War Say ings securities are in way the an swer of the people of this great De mocracy to the call of the cause ot democracy throughout the world and the vindication of civilization and hu- manity.
 They afford every person, however humble and however small his means the opportunity to contribute his pari to do his bit, in this great struggle against the military masters ot Ger, many who seek to dominate the world in contempt of justice and right and freedom and without conscience anc without mercy.
 Surely every American desires tC have a part in the defeat of autocracy and the success of liberty and right.

Some copper matte was shipped from the Great Western shelter, in the Big Bug district. The Arizona Hillside property, at Hillside, shipped consid- erable quantities of zinc ore for the first time, and the properties of Ran dolph and Gemmill, at Crown King, also made some shipments. The dividends for eleven months from Arizona properties amounted to more than S41, 100000. The main contribu- tors from Yavapai county were The United Verde, the United Verde EX- tension, Arizona Commercial and the Consolidated Arizona Smelling com ipany.
 l, United Verde Extension
 The United Verde Extension, fla miliarly known throughout the world as the "wonder mine," produced some thing over 6O,OOO,OOO pounds of copper in 1917. The shipments to the Doug las and Humboldt smelters are still averaging around "A and 25 per cent copper. How soon the first furnace of the Extension smelter will be blown in cannot be determined, but it will not be in March as heretofore report ed, delays in securing material are handicapping construction seriously
 The Extensions haulage tunnel IS about 35 per cent complete. This means that more than 4000 feet of it has been dug. Last month GAO feet of progress was made from the east end alone. The tunnel is being made wide enough to accommodate stand ard-guags railroad track. The com pany has ordered 32-ton steel cars fol hauling ore from the mine to the smel' ter. It is expected that. 16 cars will be handled in each train.
 Copper Chief in Verde District
 The Copper Chief gold mill, will within very short time be operating to it's full capacity of 100 tons a day At the present time about sixty ton; a day of ore, running all the way iron s14 to S20 a ton, is being treated According to the statement of J. T lMatson, superintendent, the recoverie: are entirely satisfactory. The ort comes from the oxidized zone above the 22O-foot level and no attempt i' being made to do anything with th' copper ore and development work ii being restricted to the Wonderful claim, a short distance north of tht main workings. A shaft has beer sunk to depth of 200 feet on thi' claim, a crosscut being run 50 fee north and another 200 feet to tht south. Both crosscuts are entirely II llow-grade material. About fort! men are employed at the Copper Chief.

SOLDIERS HAVE PLENTY TO EAT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 22-The Ari- zona Council of Defense has been ask ed by the national authorities to help in stopping the waste that has been known in the sending of food to the cantonments. The subject is fully set forth in the following resolution:
 ''The Council of National Defense desires to inform the people of the country that abundant food is supplied to the soldiers and sailors in the camps and cantonments, and that the sending of food to these men by their friends and families is not in any re- spect necessary; that the aggregate quantity of food thus privately sent is enormous, and that much of it, hay ing been conveyed long distances in heated express or mail cars, is more or less spoiled, and consequently injuri- ous to the health of the men. There fore, in the interest of the conserva- tion of food, and also the health of the men, the Council of National De fense requests the public to discon- tinue the sending of foodstuffs to the camps"

WAR INSURANCE FOR
 EVERY FIGHTING MAN.

The Treasury Department is mak- ing every effort to have every member of Americas fighting forces take ad- vantage of the government-insurance plan, which Secretary McAdoo asserts to be " the most just and humane pro vision ever made by any nation for it's soldiers and sailors"
 The purpose is rapidly being achieved, the insurance having passed the third billion mark in the total ot policies written, and there are many military units in which every member has taken insurance.
 The automatic insurance provided by the law is only partial and limited protection, payable only to wife, child or widowed mother and ceases after February 12, 1918. It is important therefore, not only to the soldiers and sailors of the country but to their fam flies and dependents, that before that date they avail themselves of the full Government protection, which can go as high as S1O,OOO and is payable to the wife, husband, child, grandchlld parent, brother, or sister.
 The law also provides for the reed ucation and rehabilitation of the to- tally disabled and monthly compensa- tion to those disabled.

LUNBERMEN WANTED
 BY WAR DEPARTMENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-So urg- ent is the need for lumbermen and road builders for immediate service in France that the War Department has made an exception to its previous rul- ing, and will now allow experienced men of draft age to enlist, under cer- tain conditions.
 Any man between eighteen and 41 years of age, who is qualified physi- cally and by experience, may enlist for this service; but they must obtain per mission to do so from Major c. E. Clarke, chief of engineers office, Washington, D. C., by mail or tele- graph. The men required will be sent to France as sood as they are assem- bled, without being held here for mili- tary training.
 Tremendous quantities of lumber are required by the American troops in France. A special regiment, known as the 20th Engineers, is being recruited to cut timber in the for ests of France and manufacture it in- to lumber. This regiment will include experienced men of every class re- quired in lumber camp operations.
 The 20th Engineers needs immedi- ately 2000 woodsmen, sawmill men machinists and others who have work ed at numbering. It also needs 5000 men who have worked at road build, ing. These men are to construct roads from the woods to the mills and iron the millg to the distributing depots In connection with both the numbering and road-building operations complete crews of men experienced in the great variety of machinery used and 1T camp and repair work involved ar' required.

WAR WORK, SUBJECT
 AMERICAN ENGINEERS

War work for the mining engineer and a concentration of his efforts to meet the mineral needs of the coun- try, will be the subjects to dominate the 116th meeting of the American Institute of Mining Engineers. The meeting opens in New York on Febru- ary IS, and continues for four days. During the sessions prominent men who have been in the center of war activities in this country and in Flu rope will address the gathering, and mining engineers from every part of the country will study means of solv- ing the war mineral difficulties.
 About 50 technical subjects will be presented at the Institute meeting. Some of them deal with such timely topics as the economy of electricity over steam for power purposes in and about the mines, the erosion of guns, extraction of gasoline from natural gas, the Chilean nitrate industry and the employment manager and labor turnover reduction.
 An elaborate entertainment pro- gram has been arranged both for the Institute members and the ladies ac- companying them.

YAVAPAI COUNTY
 TAXES FIRST PLACE

The official returns from the U. s. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior, as to the output in Arizona, for the year 1917, show that the output in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc from Arizona mines had d total value of over S214, 100000 an in crease of more than S23,000,000 over the value of the output in 1916. This increase was due in part, however, to the greater prices of metals, all of which except zinc, were decidedly higher in 1917. In quantity there was a marked increased in gold, a slight increase in recoverable zinc, but de- creases in silver, copper and lead.
 In this wonderful showing made by Arizona, the leading copper mining state of the union which has produced more than twice as much copper as Montana, Yavapai county truly takes first part among the fourteen coun- ties of Arizona, having within her confines some ninety-eight producing mines. Construction was begun on the new smelter for the United Verde Extension company at Jerome, and the capacity of the Arizona Binghamptor mill was increased to 250 tons day The Consolidated Arizona Smeltlng company and the United Verde great ly increased their copper production
