INCREASE WHILE VALUE OF
 GOLD IS SAME
Every Item in Connection With Industry Has Risen and Unless Bester Price Comes, Mines Must Close

The United States bureau of mines report shows the following advance in some of the costs for gold properties which the latter are obliged to meet out of returns for their product which are no higher than in pre-war times:
 Labor .........20 per cent
 Steel 40 to 2S0 per cent
 Explosives ........75 per cent %
 Lumber .12O per cent
 Machinery ....... 75 per cent
 Miscellaneous 10 to 200 per cent
 These figures represent a general average of gold properties over the American continent. Arizona figures average higher in respect to labor and machinery. Increased freight rates now in effect will add still further and very materially.
 It will be noted that acids are not included in the list. They are an i'm portant item of plant consumption, and the increases range far higher than the 200 per cent allotted to the miscellaneous column.
 Except labor, the increased costs falling upon the gold mines are dupli- cated with respect to copper proper ties. In the item of labor, however. the copper properties are carrying a far higher increase. Increase of 42 per cent is a conservative figure as applying to the larger producers over the last two years. This does not ap- ply to all properties. however Shan non Copper company's annual report for instance. shows that its increased costs included:
 Wages-12O per cent higher than in 1914.
 Fuel oil-Advanced from 37 1-2 cents per barrel to $1.35.
 Coke-Advanced from s3.75 to $S.6O.
 Lumber-Advanced s10 per thou sand feet.
 While shannon is not one of the largest producers, it has a normal out put of around a million pounds a north, and is in the class which. through carload lot purchases of all supplies, obtains as low rates as the largest operators. The figures tell their own story of what has happened to cost deviation of the mines. The value of a great producing mine to a county has been demonstrated in Pima county, where the tax rate for

STICK ID MINES ADVICE GIVEN BY
 JEROME PAPER
No Industry More Essential to War Than Mining Industry, Declares Verde Copper News
(verde Copper News.)

The advice that miners stick to the mines, given by the federal employ ment service, is excellent and should be needed. No industry is more es- sential than the mining industry. It is the backbone of our great war effort Without it everything would be paralyzed The production of iron, coal, copper and other ores necessary to the carrying on of ordinary and extraordinary industry must go on in great volume, unless there is to be a break in the chain by which American energy is linked together for effect i've expression on the battlefields of Europe.
 A miner who leaves the mines and goes to a shipyard or a munitions plant may have an idea that he is getting more directly into win-the- war work, but it is a mistaken one. On the contrary, he will do most to help win the war if he remains in the calling in which long training gives him the greatest proficiency If he goes to a shipyard or a munitions plant, the probability is that a good miner has been lost to make an in different worker in these industries and the result is a net loss to the nation.
 Aimless drifting from trade to trade just now is to be discouraged. As general rule, there is little profit in it. If wages seem extraordinarily high in some particular place, it will be found generally that rents and other costs of living are high to cor respond and that the worker is little better off because of the apparent high wages The rate of compensa- ton for mine work will stand com Oarison with that in any industry in the country, and the working condi-
 ions are of the best The mine work CT can take legitimate pride in the closeness Of his relation to all win-the- var effort, and in the thought that in the degree he increases his efficiency beyond pre-war standards, in just that degree is he giving a little extra i'm 1etus to the great work of securing victory for justice and democracy.
 But he should. he must. in the pub lie interest stick to the mines.

RUSSIANS LACK MONEY

MOSCOW. July 26. (Correspon- dence of the Associated Press).-The lack of money and the great depre- citation of the Russian ruble has com pelled the soviet government to re- sort to the primitive form of trade exchange of goods. This form has been applied in Russia in a limited degree, because of lack of manufac- tured articles, the government giving the peasants agricultural machinery, leather goods. nails. matches and oth- CT such necessaries and receiving the equivalent value in grain. It is the in
 tention of the department of food to introduce the exchange of goods sys- tenn into international trade and for this purpose it sent a special embassy

NATION FAILS
 IN. PRODUCTION
 OF RED METAL
Production of Copper for First Seven Months of Year Was Four Hundred Million Pounds Short

In spite of the almost phenom- enal increase in the production of copper in the state of Arizona, the country as whole is falling be- hind in its production and needs. The production of refined copper for the first seven months of 1918 was 1,425, 100000 pounds, com pared with 1,49s,OOO,OOO pounds in the corresponding period of 1917. Figures for the month of July show a falling off of 5,OO0,OO0 pounds, in comparison with the June returns.
 While many important in- creases have been made, and there have been many new pro- duction problems occasioning much expert thought and careful consideration, there are still se- rious obstacles to overcome before output climbs to it's full capacity.
 Arizona is doing more than her share in spite of high costs, for by its increased production it is mak- ing up in a large measure for the parts of the country which are falling down.
 Close cooperation between the operators and employees is, with out question, responsible in a great part for the big results that are being obtained in production. The operators of the state are do- ing everything possible to i'm prove living conditions. and from the above figures of production, it will be seen that the employees are appreciative of efforts made in their behalf

MINING COUNTIES
 LEADING IN PRICE
 FAIRNESS TO PEOPLE
ALL OVER ARIZONA LARGER COM PANIEs ARE DOING MUCH TO ELIMINATE PRoFITEERINe BY PLACING STORES ON CASH BASIS

It is true that the mining counties of the state have taken the lead in en- ideavoring to assure the public of fair prices. Their interest in keeping dis satisfaction at the minimum, in pro viding the most that is possible to give to their people by way of enab- ling them to return at work in the production of the all-important war metals, has, of course, provided a larger incentive than has been brought home to some other counties. The fact remains that they have ac. complished much, acting independent ly, and that a great deal of it car well be emulated generally.
 There is in mind the fact that Hay den has been on cash basis for a year, and that its people and mer- chants are much better off in conse- quence; that Ajo has had a cooper ative company store making dividend returns that materially decrease the cost of living; that Globe-Miami have cash and no free delivery plans. ana have abolished solicitors, with the re- suit of decrease in costs of living ex- penditures; that Superior and Ray management impressed upon the mer- chants effectively that profiteering would result in stores operating on cash basis; that the mining company stores in Bisbee, Clifton and Douglas have kept prices on nominal profit basis in those communities.
 The recent announcement that the stores of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company in Bisbee, Lowell, Warren, Douglas, and Morenei were no longer to collect store accounts through the company payroll has been another step towards changing to a cash basis and permitting of lower prices.
 Mercantile stores in mining camps have a particularly hard row to hoe, due to the fact that it is impossible for them to keep the wage scale of their employees on par with the wages of the mining companies ope- rating in that vicinity, without raising prices to an abnormally high level, and every effort that can be made to keep down the number of employees by the use of cash stores, non-delivery systems and the abolishing of solici- tors. means a reduction in prices.

 AFTER SHORT LAYOFF
ORE RUNNING BETWEEN EIGHT AND NINE PER CENT ON AN AVERAGE NOW IS BEING SHIP PED TO SHELTER AT HUM BoLDT FOR REDUCTION

JEROME, Ariz., Nov. 2.-The Verde Copper News says: After a suspen- sion of several days, regular ore ship ments are now going forward from the Jerome Verde at a rate a little better than 20 tons a day. The ore runs between and g per cent cop per. Twelve carloads have been shipped to date, all to the Humboldt shelter.
 The suspension was not because of lack of ore or any trouble in the mine. but because the Jerome Transfer company's teams were all busy haul ing some heavy machinery. It is not expected that there will be any ces- sations of shipping hereafter. however brief.
 Apparently shipments can be con tinued indefinitely from the Maintop ore body at the present rate. The company is now making plans to as- certain the exact extent of the ore. which has already proved to be far greater than was thought when the body was first reached. Tn about a week a diamond drill will be moved to that part of the mine and several holes VIII be drilled both upward and downward
 The company is also planning an extensive campaign to explore the biz body of iron pyrites recently dis covered northeast of the Columbia shaft, on the 105O-foot level.

 The Centennial has three young women on its rolls and from the standpoint of efficiency, the ex- pertinent is a success. The work is arduous, grimy and noisy, how ever, but the women are persistent and are sticking to their jobs.
 The Calumet & Hecla also has women in its employ, three having been given positions in the regrind- ing plant at Lake Linden.
