TRY To DETACH
UNITED STATES
FROM ALLIES

London, April Count Czernin, in
spite of the marked change toward
the bellicose in his latest speech, still
speaks in softer accents than ever
have been heard from Berlin, the
morning newspapers say in their
comment on tina Hungarian.
foreign minister's address to the
Vienna municipal council.
The Daily Mail characterizes the
speech as Austrian bluff and says
Count Czernin's assertion that the
blockade of Germany is broken in the
east will not fill the hungry stomachs
of Germans and Austrians. 1t adds
that the issue must be decided by
iron and blood in the battle that now
is pitched.
The Daily Telegraph thinks that
coming at the moment it does, the
speech will rouse but small share
Of the attention that it would have re-
ceived three weeks ago. 1t says some
of Count Czernin's statements and
professions require and will doubtless
soon receive notice from Entente
statesmen and the United States.
The speech, the Morning Post says,
peace offensive ensuing on the tenn
porary defeat Of the war offensive of
the Central powers. It declares it is
addressed particularly to the Presi-
dent of the United States and seems
to be designed to impress President
Wilson with the idea that the recent
attack was forced on the Central
powers by the refusal of the Allies to
discuss terms of peace. The Post
concludes:
"Count Czernin apparently is max
ing another attempt to detach the
| United States from the Allies, posi-
bly, with a view to saving Bulgaria
| and Turkey from a declaration of war
by America. Judging by reports re-
ceived of the Austrian ministers over
lures we cannot but regard them as
rather clumsily conceived"
Senator King introduced a resolu-
ton asking for war on Bulgaria and
Turkey.

CHINO VALLEY OIL
 WELL HAS STUDDED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 31.-Now that the Arizona Oil and Refining Co. has spudded in its first well in Chino valley, and the extensive drilling op- erations are under way, the eyes of the country are on the new oil field.
 Reports coming from Dr. E. A. Ed wards, who is personally in charge of the operations in the field, are to the effect that the drill is working per fectly. The first bailings indicate that rapid progress should be made toward bringing in the first oil well.
 Hundreds of people are visiting Chino valley daily, coming on trains from Prescott and Jerome-in auto mobiles-and on horseback. All are very enthusiastic. All look forward to the Arizona Oil and Refining Go. bringing in the first big oil well in Arizona, which means nothing more than the starting of one of the great est oil booms in history.
 On the initial day of the starting of drilling a heavy snow storm ragged in Chino valley. This did not deter the coming of an enthusiastic contin- gent from Jerome which lies at the very doors of the valley.
 The people of Jerome have witness ed, in recent years, copper booms that have made many milionaires, and with this in mind they look to Chino valley as the next scene of boom days.
 The Arizona Oil and Refining Co. is fully financed. They have a large sum of money in the treasury to con tinue drilling to the depth where geol- ogists say, lies the oil
 Every effort is being made by the company to prove the valley-to prove the words of five noted geologists who practically unite in saying that, ''there is oil in paying quantities in Chino valley"

MINING COSTS DIFFER WIDELY IN
 VARIOUS MINES

Discussing the cost of producing metals the New York Commercial says cditorialiy:
 It IS almost impossible to arrive at the average cost of producing copper and other metals, with the possible exception of iron. Most mining com panies possess ore bodies of compara- lively little value, which cannot be worked at a profit when prices are low, but which are worth something when prices are high. Those who cannot recollect what happened to many silver mines after the United States government gave up the at- tempt to stabilize the white metal, quarter of century ago, will realize how the average cost of production varies. When it pays to mine and treat low-grade ores the cost is high.
 If silver should be monetized by in ternational agreement on a basis of a dollar an ounce, CT more, many old mines and several big prospects would become large producers. The price would never be too high on the basis of average cost of production because vast bodies of low grade ore would be worked on very narrow margin of profit. This also applies to copper, zinc, lead and other metals.
 Before the war some mining com panies produced copper for 2 cents a pound or less and most of the big American mines could show a profit when copper was 12 cent1 pound in New York. At that time former Sen ator William A. Clark of Montana said IS cents would be 9 fair price for cop per because 1t would stimulate pro duction and be low enough to encour- age a wide use o1 the metal in the in- dustries and arts. Companies which then dreamed of 15-cent copper as the height of their desire now state that it costs them more than 15 cents to produce it. Wages and supplies are dearer, and efforts to turn low grade ores to good account are the chief ele- ment in the increased cost.
 It is good business tq market low grade ore when it can be done at a profit. Labor is scarce, and when it is employed in salvaging dumps and low grade ore the output and the profit on it may be less than when prices were lower, but the companies conserve their richer ore while turn ing their doubtful assets into cash.
 Many factors enter into the price and cost of production, but there IS no mystery about the way in which average costs of production keep pace with the metal market.
