MEN 0F ARIZONA
 TO BUILD SHIPS

Arizona's quota of SSS men of the 250,O0O required by the government for shipbuiSding work undoubtedly has been filled, as far as the number regis tered is concerned. But the registra- tion will remain open. according to notice received by Thomas F.. Croaff, federal director for Arizona of the pub lice service reserve. It is fact that many of those now registered can hardly accept call, while others may fail when considered from the stand point of the high degree of efficiency that will be asked by the shipping board.
 So skilled mechanics still will have opportunity and are urged to get into communication with their local boards of registration or with MT. Croaff, di- rect, in Phoenix. Registration cards will be furnished such applicants, as well as copy of an interesting book let, entitled The Man of the Hour Is the Shipbuilder,' particularly showing how skilled workmen in various trades may be converted into shipbuilders-
 The shipyards soon will be in posi- ton to take on large number of men and will want the very best mechanics for permanent employment during the period of the war. Standard wages will he paid, under standard working conditions. Most of the shipyards are on a union shop basis. The men en- rolled are under no compulsion or mili- tary discipline. If the employment of fered does not appeal to them, it may be declined
 MT. Croaff urges that the patriotic character of the work be appreciated for every ship built means efficient support to our men in France and is another vitally necessary step toware ending the war and bringing victory for our forces.

YEAR' 'SPR0F|T EXCEEDS WHOLE
 SHELTER VALUE

That the value of the entire prop erty of the International Smelling company at Miami is less than the profits of the shelter for a single year was in substance the ruling of Judge Shute Saturday at Globe in the trial of the suit of the smelter company against the state, objecting to the as- sessment of, that company for the year 1918.
 The valuation of the smelter com pany was placed by Judge Shute of the Gila county superior court at $2,000,000 flat" while the profits of that company at Miami for 1916 were in round numbers s2,222,000.
 Much interest was attached to this suit, as it involved the legality of as- sessing intangible value in arriving at the figure at which the smelter com pany should be assessed. The state tax commission, as board of equali- zation, had fixed the valuation of the International Smelling company at about $4,000,000. In the decision made by Judge Shute nothing was said about intangible value" but that company was valued at about s500,0O0 over the physical value, in recognition of the earning power of the smelter company. and this may be said to be the in tangible value' fixed by the court. The case is being appealed to the suN'eme court by the state tax com mission.
 Another assessment case of much in terest also was heard last week in the Gila county superior court, that of the county Of Gila against the Inspiration Consolidated Copper company. in winch the valuation of the Inspiration | company was reduced by the court from S79,000,000 to s61 ,00O 900.
 Taxes to the amount of s156,O0o were involved in this suit, one-half of which goes to the state. This case also is | being appealed to the supreme court In this case the court ruled that the entire mine law. including the method of appeal, had expired.
