RAY SILVER LEAD GETS TITLE;
BIC ORE BODIES IN DYKE FORM

Final payment for the property of
the Ray Silver Lead Mining Company
was made to Messrs. Haley and Souf-
frein on Friday Of last week, at which
time the company received title to
the property. Plans for extensive de-
velopment and mining operations will
be carried out forthwith.
An important discovery viz, that
the ore bodies which were at first be-
lieved to be in. bedding planes, are
dipped and going down, was made re-
Gently. Engineers who have looked
over the situation at the Ray Silver
Lead believe that the ore bodies will
lead down to a great deposit of cop
per, and that ultimately the mine will
develop into a second Magma.
Jno K Erskine of New York, who
paid the property a visit in Decem-
Der, was Ray visitor this week, to-
gether with number of Phoenix
stockholders in the company. Mr..
Erskine expressed great satisfaction
in the development work done by
superintendent Pollard in the last
three months, and is quoted as hav-
ing said that the value of the prop
erty had been increased by $150,000
by reason of the development work
which has been done s:lce his last
visit.
Ray Silver Lead is now handling
twenty tons of ore daily with it's own
pack train of mules and burros, and
bids fair to become one of the most
important mines in this district

RAY CON REPORT
FOR LAST THREE
MONTHS OF 1917

Gross production of copper con-
tanned in concentrates by the Ray
Consolidated for the fourth quarter
1917, amounted to 21,071,S74 pounds
as compared with a production of 21,-
656,342 pounds in the preceding quar-
ter according to the twenty-sixth
quarterly report just issued to the
stockholders. The average monthly
production for the last three months
of 1917 was 7,O23,958 pounds as COM
pared with 7,218,781 pounds in the
preceding quarter.
In addition to the copper derived
from concentrating ores there was
total of 1,678,S93 lbs. of copper con
tanned in ores sent direct to smelter
Adding this amount to the copper con-
tanned in concentrates, brings thestotal
gross production for the quarter to
22.750,677 pounds as compared with
22.972,156 pounds for the previous
quarter.
During the period covered by the re
port there was milled 893, 800 dry tons,
which corresponds to a daily average
of 9,715 tons as compared with a daily
average Of 9,797 tons for the preceding
quarter. Mill extraction for the quar-
ter was 1874 per cent of the total cop
per contained in the concentrating
ores. Underground development for
the quarter totalled Is, ,454 feet, bring
ing the total development to date to
SAC, ,009 feet.

NEXT CALL To
TAKE 1 MEN
FROM P|NAL
First Call Of Second Draft
Takes Jas Men From Ari-
IONA; All Will Entrain
March 90 for Camp.

The following men have been called
by the local board of PinaI county to
entrain at Florence on March 29, or
soon thereafter, in response to the
first call for men under the second
draft:

In addition to the eleven men named
above, five others have been called by
the local board to 90 on the 29th, but
\ transferred elsewhere, their names are
not available as the Copper Camp goes
to press.
Pinal county must furnish eleven
men in response to the call for the
girst contingent summoned to the col
srs under the second draft call, which
vas issued this week at Washington.
The entire second draft calls for SOO,-
coo men, who will move to canton
ments in contingents of approximately
100000 men. Arizona is called to fur
Faish 148 men for the first contingent,
which will entrain March 20 to April
2. All Arizona men will go to Camp
Funston, Kan.
No credits previously earned by
counties are to be taken into account
in making up this first quota under
the second draft, so that Pinal coun-
fty's quota is fixed at eleven, or con-
siderably higher than it would be if
the local board was allowed to use
tthe credits now standing to their ac-
count
s'This call is based on an estimated
population of Arizona of 402.OOO," de-
clared Adjutant General Charles w.
Harris, this week, and will probably
enforce a further hardship on Pinal,
Greenlee and other counties in the
state with a large alien population
These counties already have been hard
hit in furnishing the necessary men in
the previous quota.
"Relief is promised the state in the
senate joint resolution which is now
before the house." declared Colonel
Harris. "This, however will not be
in time to help any before the present
draft is enforced. This resolution pro-
vides that in the future the quotas
shall be based on the actual number
of Glass 1 men there are in the state
instead of on the estimated popula-
ton. This resolution obviates the en-
barrassment that arises from the
alien situation for the same reason"
In connection with the reference
made to the resolution before congress
to do away with the injustice of bas-
ing the quotas of each state on an es-
timated population, and base it on the
number of men actually placed in
Glass 1, press dispatches this week
state that action on this resolution has
met with unexpected opposition in
congress, and that it will probably be
postponed until after the return of
Secretary Baker from France.

Richardson and Mrs. M C. Miller
