MINING DIVISIONS

Mercer Barnett. chairman of the War Savings committee for Jefferson coun- ty. has appointed James Bonnyman as chairman of the mining division of the committee. MT. Bonnyman's first act was to select as his committee the men in the mining camps who made such a wonderful record in the second Red Cross War Fund drive, supple ment these with some other good men. and invite the body to a dinner at the Tutwiler Thursday night as the guests of the allied armies "Heffner's Illus tlers' from Bessemer. the Ensley con- tingent and a large detail from the Rainbow division" are also expected to attend the dinner.
 At state War Savings headquarters the prediction is freely expressed that Alabama will make as fine q showing on War Savings on June 2S as the state did in the third Liberty Bond drive. and indications justify the prophecy.

The importance of Arizona as d war material producing state is signified by a recent statement by trade author ities that it is estimated that 97i2 per cent of the total American copper pro duction is used for war purposes. The fact that Arizona produces over one third of the copper of the United States and abou, "A per cent of the copper of the world. emphasizes cop per as an essential industry.
 Recent reports of producers have indicated that the disposal of their product for war purposes averages approximately s5 per cent. The aver age monthly output of refined copper is about 200. .000.
