COPPER AGE TUNNEL
 ALMOST COMPLETED

At the Copper Age group, the Ari- zona Ore Reduction company is em- ploying about fifty men. This com pany is now within about 200 feet of finishing its 1S00-foot working tunnel and expect to have it completed with in 60 days. Three levels have been run on one vein at a hundred feet apart, the lowest level being at a depth of mere than 400 feet from the collar of the main shaft. The vein will vary from to feet in width and is generally known to be high grade silver-lead-zinc ore. There are eleven veins on the company's ground, all of which will be cut by 700-foot crosscut tunnel
 A modern, up-to-date concentrating plant of 250 tons daily capacity has been built and has been run sufficient ly to demonstrate it's success on these ores. The extraction is first made by concentration of its silver-lead values, then roasting of the middlings to mag netize the iron, after which the cinter and dust from the roaster are run through the magnetic separators and the iron separated from the zinc. Ad- ditional concentrators and a Dings Magnetic Separator are now on the ground.
 The company is putting in a reser- voir of a million gallons capacity for water storage. This, with the present tankage, will give total water sup ply of more than 1,30O,000 gallons as a safety valve during the dry season.

 LOAN ADVERTISEMENTS

Everybody who is displaying adver- Using of the Third Liberty Loan in their windows or on their bill board should at once remove it, as old adver- Using will detract from the advertis- ing of the Fourth Liberty Loan, which is soon to appear on the boards. Fresh and clean advertising will take well with the people, but combined with old and ragged advertising posters will lose much of it's effect.
