The Registration

Phoenix made the mark and went beyond ex- pectations in piling up a registration of voters in excess of 1000 That is a red letter record. There is perhaps nowhere else in the country such a ratio of the registered vote to the total vote. Notwth- standing the figures still cannot believe that all the voters have registered. That would be a miracle and in modern days miracles nfrequent. We therefore assailed by curiosity concerning the total number of voters in the city.
 We had regarded 1000 as an outside figure We now know there than that but how many more?
 We shall not quarrel with the few or many who did not register The town has done well enough all ready and it needs only keep on doing well until the night of election day
 We hope that every registered vote will be cast and then we will know what kind of a city govern ment we want We will then have government by the majority with which should be satisfied
 In anticipation that 1000 votes or a considerable part of it will be cast we would suggest to the city commission an increase of the facilities for votng It is perhaps too late to arrange that for the coming election but care should be taken or future elections The capacity of the six voting precincts pretty severely taxed at the primary election The count in some of the larger precincts was not concluded until nearly midnight
 With such limited facilities as we now have the voters will have to present themselves rather con- tnuousy at the polling places beginning early in the morning, take advantage of what has hitherto been lull in the afternoon

The Hiohest Point ;n History

History we are told. is the record of past events Another definition is, history is the record or WaS The latter is the accurate Not only do wars stand out more prominently in the history or every nation but almost every great event is the result or war or has led to war or has been of series Of events eliminating in war.
 We have now in this generation and in this year reached peak in human history, beside which peaks that relieved the face of the worlds recorded events seem merged in the flat and drab plain. We are now in the midst of great battle whose im- mensty has never been approached. Beside it Water loo nearby, which decided the fate of Europe was riot in an ally And that decision momentous as 1t was, does not compare with the verdict which mil lions of men are now forming in the plains of Fland- CTS. There the judgment for whole world effective for generations perhaps for all time is being written
 It is appropriate that this great conflict should rage where it is ragng-in the battlefield of the world It is within radius of one brief hundred miles that of the greater quarres among men have been adjusted in the past It was near there that Caesar with the Begians and the barbarc tribes. It nearby that Crecy and later Agincourt were fought. little to the southwest but outside the radius Charles Martel at Tours eight centuries before had turned back the Saracen tide which threatened the devastation of Europe. At Valmy not far south of the present fighting the coalition of the Kings against the the new born republic was ar rested All that ground has been consecrated with blood and however selfish the motives of the myriads of conquerors may been the result of all those wars contributed to human progress In a general way, right prevailed. Everything that finally lecided in that sodden region decided right
 We cannot believe now, notwithstanding the rather depressing of yesterday that all these judgments of the past are to be reversed that ground, that the world is to be rolled backward and that shall there be decided that any nation is strong enough and wise enough to rule all other nations
 The setting for this event is terribly majestic one. We have on side the forces of free civil izaon millions of offering their lives for hu- manty. On the other side have millions, vast machine an instrument in the hands of ruthless who aim at the reconstruction of a world process which involves the destruction of all that has been built before.

meeting by the Arizona chapter Amer ican Mining Congress, because of pro- vision contained that the states agree to abolish the issuance of stock selling permits during the remainder of the war.
 The letter takes the stand that such course would seriously hamper the development of metals which are es- sential to the conduct of the war, pointing out that price regulation of these by the government thus far in the war has not been such as to per init the conduct of development on scale proportionate with the maximum output of metal which has been neces- sGry to meet government requirements and that therefore there is greater need than ever of the requirement of money from investors in the develop ment of metals with which to open new properties and extend the resources of old ones. The case of copper is cited, development of which has been great ly retarded by the comparatively low price prevalent since last summer un- der government orders. Gold, silver and lead are mentioned, while man. ganese and other of the rarer metals on the American continent are pointed to as examples of lack of price fiXa- tion or of protective tariff regulation. American miners, it is asserted, have been restrained from the development of manganese and associated steel fin ishing metals in the western states in large measure because of the fact that they have been in direct competition with mining of large bodies of these metals at exceedingly low costs in oth- CT parts of the world. It is instanced that cargoes of manganese when ship bottoms are available from Brazil promptly knock the bottom out of the American market and make mining of the metals in this country at the pres ent stage of their development unpro- fitable.
 The congress suggests that require- ment from operating mining companies of complete and plainly understand able statements of mining costs is the
 quickest road to accomplishing the protection of the public, which is the aim of the blue sky laws. With such data in general circulation the public will cease to be prey for fraudulent | promoters who twist figures of min- i ing costs as now presented in such manner as to carry conviction that
 the industry pays abnormal profits,
 which is not true. A comprehensive check would thus be secured upon 1 wild investment in mining enterprises
 during the war period, without inter- | fering with needed, legitimate invest ment, double purpose thus being served | in protecting the public and conserv < ing funds.

Concentrate it taken off the first six or seven compartments of the machine and a middlings product off the remaining five or six compartments. For q while there were no middlings made but concentrates produced on all com partments, but it was found more beneficial to return a middlings pro- duct to provide a good proportion of shines in the Notation feed.
 At the boot of the concentrates elevator the table and flotation con- centrates flow together. From the head of the elevator they are led to a Dorr Thickener (40x10 inches). The overflow water from the thickener returns to the Concentrator Pond; the concentrates, thickened to a 1 to l pulp discharging to a Portland Con- tinuous Vacuum Filter 02X9 inch). The filter handles satisfactorily the entire production of 100 to 125 tons of concentrates daily, delivering cake with 15 per cent moisture.
 The mill feed contains approXi- mately .05 ounces gold and Is ounces silver per ton, and per cent copper, 57 per cent insoluble. 13 per cent iron and g per cent sulphur. Table con
 centrates, which constitute 25 per cent of the concentrate tonnage run about IS ounces gold, 1.5 ounces silver, per cent copper, 35 per cent iron, 15 per cent insoluble. It is particularly to be noted that the table concentrate carries a high per centage of iron with it's associated gold, whereas the copper and silver values are the same as in the mill feed. Flotation concentrates average 1 10 ounces gold ounces silver, 10 | per cent copper, per cent insoluable, | 25 per cent iron. General Mill Con-

particular attack by radicals to the end of retarding it's recovery of full working forces. Why this is pleasing to pro-Germanism is apparent,s as is also like antagonism to Anaconda in Montana. Inspiration is the largest single producer of copper in Arizona. Its equipment is the most modern and complete and in the event of govern ment emergency for copper, Inspira- tion, if possessed of it's full working forces could be rated to proportion ately higher production above capacity than any other copper property in the country. Therefore pro- -Germanism's high interest in keeping Inspiration from getting back to full forces of loyal operatives and to maximum acti- vities in metal output.
 In this light it is readily understand able why Inspiration has exercised the greatest care in rebuilding it's forces and seeing to it that pro- -Germanism is kept out of it's mines and plants to the fullest possible extent The at titude. thus taken las been in line with that of the government.
 After Inspiration comes the Warren district in point of pro- German inter- est in Arziona. the Bisbee mines being next largest in point of possible pro- duction of metal and in excellence of equipment that will permit speeding above rated capacity under favoring conditions Although several elements of the latter have been lacking, the Bisbee mines have been speeding for several months, a fact that has irri- tated pro-German agents and sym pathizers in nearly as great degree as their failure to be able to mix their workers among Inspiration forces.
 Recent retaliation has been in part renewed charges of discrimination against operators in the Globe Miami and the Warren districts and in the circulating of rumors of pending strikes. These latter rumors are be- ing circulated in all mining districts through pro- German influences and are intended to cause conservative. trouble avoiding miners to leave the state. Outside of the state they are being circulated for the purpose of deterring miners from coming to Ari- zona. Thus far little has been accom- plished through these rumors in point of interfering with working forces. and nothing at all in the way of encourag- ing strikes. Miners understand the game and are opposed to it ana to 1 strikes for any cause this year.

Americans generally stand for clean cut, fair play business methods, yet men of average observations have often noticed the methods used by some business men opening a store and going after trade. Did you ever stop and notice such firm, how anXiously they strive, but how so often they fail to apply the first and principal neces E sary requisite in the building of a per manent business. You have perhaps noticed how they try to give service, a low price and work hard to get your business, after they have the business started they seem to think that busi l ness will keep on coming regardless of the treatment given. In these cases the smile often vanishes. low prices no longer greet you, and the varnish of interest supposed to be taken in you, wears away. These men often remind me of some office seeker, during cleo tions, when it's, 'Howdy old fellow, glad to see you,'' and he reminds you of the old days of great friendship. But my! oh my! how is it with him after election day. Does his friendship last?
 It is wrong to have a grouch at any time. It does not speak well for gen. eral good fellowship, to carry a grouch or to take advantage of anybody. If a man in business does not follow his opening with smile and a determn- ation to give full service he will neither keep up his old customers nor the new ones interested in his goods. It seems to me that often men do not exercise the proper respect for anothers ideas. Just because the other fellow does not look at things as you do in business is no reason for losing your smile nor Of not continuing to give a customer the best there is in you.
 am indeed thankful that we are liv- ing in a free country where we have right to do as we see fit so long as we oo not interfere with other mems busi- ness. We should never lose interest in our fellowman's viewpoint whether it is in merchandising or anything else. Today we continue to do business on this same basis, and we have not changed our opinion since we opened this PhoenX store March End, 1912, and We know that it pays to be cour- teous, to give every mans ideas fair play, to be good fellow, and at our store you will continue to get this same treatment whether you have been a customer for a long time past or just beginning to enjoy our system of doing business. I assure you will always greet you pleasantly no matter wheth- CT you buy or not
 We will continue to handle the high grade, dependable merchandise, such as Wilson Brothers shirts and haber- dashery. Hirsh- -Wickwire clothing. Stetson and Mallory hats. and other similar well-known lines, and the per sonal guarantee of Hyder goes with every article too. I thank you.

The Chickasha troop of Boy scouts
having attained numerical strength
of N registered and Is non-register'
ed scouts, are too many in numbers
for one scoutmaster to give the time
and attention the troop needs for its
continued development. The scout
master gladly gives all of the time
that he can spare to this very impor-
tant community and national enter
prise
Coule the scoutmaster withdraw
himself from his present vocation, as
an active pastor of a local church,
ne then could not give more time to
the scouts than the troop needs but
as q busy pastor Of a rapidly grow
ing church, to continue his work with
the scouts as heretofore, his church
work would suffer. Therefore, the
