This Service Flag Tells :

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 One of our tackles, Maurice Clement, the quartermaster on the U. s. s. Texas, thinks that the conventional service flag which Is now flying from innumeraole windows all over the country, has one defect. It does not tell what branch ot the service each man has entered
 Now Quartermaster Clement Is ex> tremely proud of being in the navy, so, when he came to make service flag for his own home. he framed the central white space with piece of white line tied in attractive knots. At the top and bottom of the panel he made double Carrick bend; at each side at equal in tervals figure knot. and then square knot. thus making balanced design.
 This flag is not only very attractive but it leaves absolutely no doubt as tc what branch of the service 1t symbolixes

Promoters of State to West Attracted by History of Re suits Accomplished in This State

The interest in any given mineral division does not always measure its attractiveness over and above others in resources.

Most of those making in quiries are admittedly in the market for properties on which to float or ganiaztions in California. The reason Ariona property is sought for the pros pective investors is the record that Arizona has made in manganese pro- duction, having probably jumped her total monthly output of the ore to first place in the United States in less than a year of endeaver It is good adyer- Using material for the outside promo ter.

Much Danger and Waste of Energy Brought About by Improper Selection of Ex- plosives

The properties of high explosives which are of first importance to the user are those upon which depend, either directly or indirectly, their strength, quickness, sensitiveness, re- sistance to cold fumes evolved and re- sistance to the kind of work in which the explosive is used and the quail ties most desirable in one kind of work may be of little value or actual ly harmful, in another.
 It is necessary, therefore. to manu- facture explosives with specific char acteristics for different classes of work and it is a great mistake for the consumer to buy explosives regardless of their special qualities and without knowing positively just what kind of an explosive would be most ecOnomi- cal for the work to be done.
 Explosive Misfits."
 A large proportion of the troubles and complaints arising from the sup posed failure of explosives to do the work desired is due not necessarily to any inherent defect in the explosive itself, but in the fact that it may not be suited for the class of work in which 1t is used Instances where people use a high grade gelatin for mudcapping, or explosives Of the per missable type for open work, or quarry powder and other kinds Of quick, shat tering explosives for coil work or slow acting explosives in brittle rock. are examples of what may be termed FIX plosive Misfits'
 If the explosive is too strong ,reduc- ing the charge may prove effective, but the proper step is Co secure a weaker explosive When the charge is reduced. it does not rise as nigh m the hole and the upper stone may not be broken properly.

 The uuick-ac;ing explosives are more shattering. usually break the stone smaller and throw ft Lartne~. The slow-acting explosives have spreading effect and do not break up the stone as much nor throw it as far. The shattering effect of an explosive can generally be reduced by leaving air spaces in the bore hole. which can be

bORAS LEASING COMPANY SHAFT
 HITS GOOD ORE
Pass Through Five Feet of Lead-Silver in Sinking De- velopment Shaft Into the Known Ore Zone

The Boras Leasing company. oper- ating a property situated in the Don Luis section of the Warren district. encountered an indication of rich min eralization which depth which never has failed in this district. when five feet of lead-silver ore was struck in the new shaft being sunk to open up the known copper ore zone.
 In order to open the copper ore at a depth of S5 feet under the bottom of the deepest working existing at pres ent on the property. the one and half compartment shaft was started with an ultimate depth of 200 feet in view. At 140 feet the lead-silver ore. of T very good grade, was encountered and before it was passed through a full five feet of a vein entirely bottom ing the shaft had to be gone through. This not alone is one of the best lead-silver strikes made in the dis trict on the west side of the noun tains. but indicates permanancy in the copper deposit underlying the surface zone.
 At present no effort will be made to develop the lead-silver ore, which will be explored later. At present the shaft will be continued to the desig hated depth. where drifting will be started to get into ore bodies encOunt cred in other workings.
 The Boras leasing company has been operating for more than a year and has for some time been in the pro ducing class. From eight to ten car loads of ore monthly are sent to the smelters at Douglas.
 The company has one of the most complete and economical plants of machinery to be found in Arizona and certainly none better qualified for he work over came.

MINERALS BILL ' GIVES IMPETUS
 TO PRODUCTION
Plans Government Corpora ton Which Would Author ize Contracts to Increase Mine Output
(ey Milton A. Allen, Arizona State
 Bureau of Mines)

DuICdu Oi WlnCSl
 So little has been heard or said re- gently regarding the war minerals bill that many western miners have assumed that this bill has been passed The proposed war minerals bill, as first drafted met with so much oppo. sition that it was dropped and a new form of war minerals bill drawn up. The proposed substitute anticipates a government corporation with a capital of fifty million dollars, authorized to make contracts on such terms as are necessary to create production of such minerals, as are required by the gov ernment, of which the supply is not available except through the stimulus which this legislation will provide.
 It is expected that Senator Tender son and his committee will report a bill within a very few days and early action upon it by the senate is anti cipated.
 War Demand for Mica
 Recently several deposits of mica have been brought to the attention of the Arizona state bureau of mines The war demands for sheet mica have stimulated the production of this min eral, the production for 1917 being 41 per cent greater than that of 1916, ac- cording to the United States Geologic al Survey bulletin.
 The increase in price has ranged 1-2O per cent higher, the greatest in- crease being for smaller sizes, especial ly F by 2, by and 2 by inches. The largest sizes show no increase in price. This should be encouraging to Arizona mica prOspectors as the de- posits that so far have come to the attention of the state bureau have yielded only tn small sizes.

EXTENSION MADE HIGH OUTPUT IN
 THE LAST MONTH
Report Reaching Here Says Manager Kingdom Did Not Place His Figures Too High in Interview <

Wor dreaching here during the week from Jerome indicated that when Man ager George Kingdom of the United Verde Extension property placed his output for August at four and a half million pounds of copper, he was not estimating too high. The following in terview appeared in a Jerome paper a few days before the end of August
 It says:
 Four and a half million pounds of copper will be the output of the Uni ted Verde Extension shelter this month, provided no difficulties are ex- perienced between now and Septem- Der l.
 We have had a good month SO far" stated Manager George King don this morning. IT our luck con tinues we will produce in the neigh borhOod of four and a half million pounds of metal"
 This will be a record almost un- precedented in the annals of the smelling industry The plant was Op- erated only about ten days in July and August will be the first full month
 Ore running around 15 or 16 per cent copper is being treated Man ager Kingdom declined to guess how long the shelter would continue to treat this high-grade.
 Only the blast furnace is in use, it should be remembered. The reverb eratory will not be ready for another month.
 All the ore treated SO far has been from the Extension mine but for the last month siliciOus ore has been re- ceived from the Commercial property. . in Copper Basin, at the rate of 9 to 30 tons @ day. This is being stored until the limited supply of silicious ore in the Extension begins to run low. The company is in the market for siliciOus ore in any amount
 That Silver Story
 When questioned about current re- ports that rich silver ore from the Extension is being sacked and ship ped to the shelter. Manager Kingdom admitted that some rich silver assays had been secured but the bullion re- turns indicated that a mistake was made somewhere.
 The silver content of. our bullion has not varie dtwo ounces to the ton since we have been shipping what we thought was rich silver ore" Kingdom declared. Tt was not worth sacking. A few assays of native silver taken from between the 1900 and 1900 foot levels, ran high but the mass ran little better than the silver ore we have been producing right along"
 The Tunnel
 About 5000 feet of the haulage tunnel is completed, leaving some thing over 5000 feet yet to be dug. Manager Kingdom hopes to have the tunnel finished by the end of the year.
 The delay is principally due to the flooding of the Texas shaft That shaft has been flooded for two months and a half. therefore no work has been done in that period in the tun- mel headings from the bottom At one time the water was up in the shaft 100 feet. Pumps broke down. the head frame was pulled over and other difficulties conspired to delay operations For weeks it was possible to use only the bailer but the pumps were started two or three days ago and this morning the water had been lowered to within three feet of the bottom. It is hoped to resume in both headings from the shaft within two or three days
