How Much Did Montgomery
 Ward & Co. Give?

The kind hearted women who are working hard to make Christmas eve merry for every boy and girl in town, have met a generous response from et1ae merchants of Williams. .suT his is as it should be, but did you ever stop to think how much Mont gomery Ward & Company and the other mail order houses give to such enterprises? If we are to make success of our municipal trees and of aur oth- CT charitable works, we must look to the local merchants and business men for the donations that are to support them. Not one cent of the money sent to mail order houses ever comes back to support our churches, our schools or our charities. After all it would pay to trade at home even if things did cost little more. But when you come to figure freight, postage, loss, dissatisfaction and time you must figure that your time is worth some thing there are very few things, if any, whic ] can be purchased any cheaper from mail order houses than at home. And those few things are sure to be seconds, and are usually cheap because de- fective.
 Boost home industries and i you boost your town. Help your town and you help yourself.

Continued From Page One population stands at about 20;- 900. Nancy is the prettiest city I have seen in France and it is called little Paris.
 The city has been battered quite bit by the air raids. We used to have an air raid almost every good night, especially night with a full moon.
 I have had a couple of close calls but miss is as good as a mile. At one time they drop ped a big one only 30 feet from our factory. It failed to ex- plode as it hit in a pile of soft The French army has sup piled the civilian people with a shelter called an "Abri". It looks from the outside like an Esquimau hut only it is made of large blocks of rock. There is where the people go when the anti-air craft guns begin to crack; and believe me they don't take any time getting there, either.
 I have been in Nancy since last February and have spent only a short time at the front.
 I have been doing factory work. We had 25O French women working for us. I was and am in charge of the raw material room and shipping.
 We are now working hard to get rid of material on hand and in two weeks I figure we will again be in DeJon.

ton, which will be the next big attrac-

pany of 40 people in clever dances,

MARKET MOVING UP

The stocks of the Tom Reed and the
 United Eastern are showing an up- ward movement in the market. Uni ted Eastern is now quoted at $4.03- $4.O5 and Tom Reed at $1.44-$1.45. The United Eastern has just entered its big ore body on the deep level, while the Tom Reed has not yet be- gun the extraction of its high grade ores, the mill runs being made on the lower grade ore from the Aztec. As soon as the Tom Reed begins the mill ing of the new ore body we expect that a great showing of bullion will be made. The Eastern is producing at the rate of close to $3,000,000 per year and this production will be main tained, despite the fact that big part of it will go to the government in the way of excess profits. The manage ment of the Eastern is nothing if not patriotic, as shown by its investment in Liberty Bonds. And for that mat ter so is all Oatman and Mohave coun- tv

BERKELEY MINE IS
 SHOWING GOOD ORE

R. R. Bailey came in from the Berk- eley mine Thursday last bringing with him samples of ruby ore from the bot tom of the new shaft on that property. The ore fills the shaft and all of it is good milling stuff, while considerable of the high grade is mixed with it. At the other shaft the drift is being carri- cd on along the vein and good progress is made. The ore in the drift is quite high grade and shows good width.
 The Berkely should make good as it has every indication of be- ing one of the good silver producers of the district at the present depth. With the development below the per manent water level the ore shoots should be found longer and more regu- lar than near the surface, although so far large shoots of ore are being found.

ELECTRIC FURNACE

The Bureau of Mines announces the perfection of type of electric melt Ing furnace that may be revolution ary in the making of brass. Patents on this furnace, known as the rocking electric furnace, have been taken out by the bureau and have been assigned to Secretary Lane as trustee. Free licenses to operate these furnaces un- der the patnets, it is understood, can be obtained by making application through Van H. Manning, director of the Bureau of Mines. The new fuc- mace, which it is claimedi will reduce the important losses in brass melting, is the result of five years experiment tation by H. w. Gillett, chemist of the Bureau of Mines, in cooperation with the laboratory of Cornell University, the American Institute of Metals and a number of manufacturers of brass.
