HIGHER ZINC PRICES
 ENCOURAGE COMPANY
 IN YAvAPAI COUNTY
Standardization at Twelve Cents Pound Proves Boon to Mining Men in Hillside District.
Special to the Reviewl

PRESCOTT. Ariz.. Feb. 23.-Stan- dardizing of zinc at 12 cents a pound. this action having been officially pro claimed by the government. is proving la boon to mining in this section and is receiving expressions of commcn- dation by many who are operating this character of mineral property. as well are those deeply interested whero the complex output has this by-metal as a content In connection with this official consideration. the outlook for the holdings of the Ari- zOna Hillside Development company situated in the Copper Creek district, is materially affeeteds and this prop erty is assured for the future to at tain high-elass rating in consequence.
 A. NJ. Gillespie and T. R. Ruen. principals of this company. who ar rived yesterday from the camp. stated operating plans are to undergo a change since official action has been taken to advance the price and main tain it's future on a better market basis than has existed for many years. A new compressor is to be installed at once. while generally speaking a regeneration of affairs will follow at once, by which heavy production will be given. and on a basis by which security will be afforded in carrying out large development This con sideratiOn toward zinc is deserved. and of course welcomed. meaning as it does that our interests are being nefAawaI minerals. which are climbing up to their proper rating" said Mir. Giles pie yesterday.
 The Copper King, a holding of the Hillside. since being revived a short time ago. has undergone thorough exploration and now emerges into rating of a high-class proposition. Its raw product with zinc values estab- lished on a permanent basis as an- nounced, will easily average S100 per ton The new wagon road being built from the works to Hillside. on the railroad. 30 miles long. is an ex- pensive undertaking. but the outlay fully justifiiss the expense. and par ticularly so with this metal at a standard price Other mines in that belt gre also affected. and generally speaking. the wisdom of better and safer market takes sway speculative fluctuations and insures a return to sclid conditions. which capital win ssreeably welcome. Mir. Gillespie stated the Copper King begins it's heavy production just as soon as the road is opened. which is expected in. side of three months. when auto trucks go into commission.

It Is known that Jerome Verde is cOntinu- ing with the finding of stringers anl that recently it has given occasion for more encouragement than in some time. That this property will ultimately make mine there is conviction on the part of most mining men acquainted with its territory. It has been unfOr- tunate in several false starts occasion ed by stock market ribbing with which the company management had nothing to do beyond bearing the burden of vic timization. but it will in time over come all of this.

 In the Clifton District
 Arizona Copper Co. has made i'm portant steps in the Clifton district toward regaining normal operations and is at this time in very satisfactory way It has got dependable force back on the job and needs very little addition to it to bring it up to normal. It is said indeed that while numerical ly it is not quite as strong as prior to the strike, it is higher in efficiency. The Shannon is also gaining strength in operating and producing divisions. as is also the Detroit Copper Co. at MOreaci.

Sharon, Pa.-That the monsters of
the mastodon family roamed over this
part of Mercer county in prehistoric
ages is evidenced by the uncovering
of a monster grinder tooth and part
of a bone by workmen of the Besse-
mer & Lake Erie engaged in building
a line through Otter Creek valley, two
miles north of Mercer.
The molar is of great size, some
eight or ten inches across the top,
with three pronged roots nearly a foot
long. Near by was found the socket of
a joint. The bone is about 80 inches
long, and the diameter of the socket
IA inches. Foreman Andy Marty was
in charge of the forces when the
find was made. Strict orders have
been issued to the workmen to he

UTILIZE OLD RAILWAY TIES
Soldiers Take Discarded Timber to
Use in Erection of Semi-Perma-
nent Houses.

Fort Hancock, Tex.-Condemned
and discarded railroad ties have been
utilized by American soldiers station
ed here to build semipermanent houses
for the headquarters and other build
ings of the army camp patrol head
quarters. The ties are stood on end
to make the walls of the houses and
discarded railroad rails are used for
rafters. Ties are then laid over these
to form the fiat roof and a coating of
adobe mud spread over these clinked
ties to make the roof watertight. The
crosstie houses are more comfortable
in winter and summer than tents. The
orderly room, the day room and can
teen and the quartermaster supply
room are all made of these materials,
the canteen having a brick floor and
plastered roof.

TREES FOR PALESTINE
Civilian Commission Will Make
Recommendation.
Aforestation and Improvement of Wa
ter Supplies Greatest of coun-
try's Needs.

London.-Two principal recOmmen-
dations which the civilian commits
sion now In Palestine will make for
will be a scheme for beginning azores
tation, and a proposal for the conser.
walton of water supply by storage and
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from a
member of the committee says: 1.-The
greatest of all Palestine's needs Is
aforestation. For centuries the land
has been denuded of it's trees, with
most disastrous consequences. For
the heavy rains at certain seasons, in
stead of benetiting the soil, over more
than four-fifths of the area carry away
in rushing torrents much of the little
soil that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors had yalu-
able forest in the country, and Absa-
lom was caught by the hair among the
trees, but today one might gallop from
Dan to Beersheba without having to
duck ones head to avoid a branch.
"Trees of rapid growth will be plant
ed, and for the more c%ultivable dis
tricts fruit-bearing trees will be util-
lied.
1.-The storage of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple. By
erecting small dams across certain
ways, a series of small reservoirs can
be constructed at little expense, Gre
ating a supply that will last through
out the dry season. In southern Pales.
tine hundreds of natural springs can
be opened which under centuries of
misrule have been allowed to choke
up and fall into diSuse.
Palestine today possesses an adj
vantage it never had before in a first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops will find a ready
market in the growing Egyptian
cities"

FACTS.oN REGISTERING
GERMAN ALIEN WOMEN

The facts concerning the registering
of German alien women are as fol
lows:
German alien enemies-that is to
say, all natives, citizens, denizens or
subjects of the German Empire or the
Imperial German Government, being
females of the age of IA years and up
wards and not actually naturalized as
American citizens-are to be register
ed.
Such registration will take place on
the 18th, 18th, 18th, goth, 21st, 22nd,
oath, 25th and 26th days of June, 1918,
inclusive, from 6 A. M. to 8 P. M. on
each of said days at the Postmaster's
Office, Pleasantville, N. J.
On the days above stated I will act
as a registration board furnishing all
information required or desired.
1t probably would be well to state
what the term German alien enemy
al this time implies. 1t means all fe-
males of the age of IA years or older
who are natives or subjects of the
German Empire and who have not
been n%aturalized by marriage, that is
to say, by their marriage to an Ameri-
a citizen prior to April 9th, 1917.
All women, regardless of their place
of birth if married to an alien citizen,
must register.
