Old Timers Dance Successful.

The Jensen hall was packed to the
doors last Friday evening on the occa.
sion of the Old Timers annual ball, and
the affair was most successful in every
way. The best dance music heard in
Saratoga this winter was furnished by
an orchestra from Hanna and the dane
ers got their moneys worth, for sure.
The big feed, which is always a most
enjoyable feature of the Old Timers
gatherings, was ably handled by Frank
Pennock in the capacity of chef and a
corps of huskies for walters. The sur
plus proceeds from the dance were do
mated to the fund for tobacco and other
luxuries for the boys in the trenches.
During the evening Supt. o. n. Bald.
win made a short but very eloquent
appeal to the ~assemblage to donate to
the tobacco fund, and started the ball
rolling by tossing a dollar into a tub
which had been provided. The response
to his appeal sounded like a hail storm
on Il tin roof for a space of five min
utes, after which a committee explored
the tub and found the sun of $500,
which will insure a good bunch Of
smokes" for the boys from the Platte
valley.

Paul, the youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. F. BRENNAN, is wearing a
number of bandages this week as the
result of an experiment with a shotgun
shell, his face having been seriously
burned by the unexpected explosion Of
the cartridge. The shot had been re-
moved from the shell and the powder
was in some manner ignited, with
rather serious results. Louis Schilt,
who was assisting the BRENNAN boy
in exploring the interior of the cart
ridge, was also slightly scorched.
Neither of the boys will suffer any
permanent injury, and it is likely that
both have gained some valuable expert
ence.

POTASH PRODUCTION
 IS ON THE INCREASE

The situation in respect to potash is improving, the rate of production during the first six months of 1918 having been equal to nearly 25 per cent of the normal consumption. By force of circumstances the country is now essentially independent of foreign importations, though at an undeter- mined cost in the fertility of the soil. Searles Lake, in California, the alkali lakes in western Nebraska, and the alunite deposits of Utah, all of which were examined, with favorable recom- mendations, in earlier reports by the Geological Survey Department of the Interior, are now our principal sources of supply. From these, as we'll as from various by-product recoveries, larger and increasing supplies are expected in the latter half of 1918 and in 1919.

BELIEVE ALASKA WILL
 HAVE ANOTHER BOOM

Miners who have come down out of the north believe that there will be a great rush to Alaska the coming of spring and summer. Hundreds of miners entered the service of Uncle Sam and many are now in France, but these are expected to return and the love of excitement born in the young soldier boys and the stories of the miners of the northwest are sure to- cause thousands of them to turn their faces toward that land of golden promise.
 Alaska is land of magnificent dis tances and wonderful possibilities, but it has nothing on Arizona. The noun tains of the Baby State have not been scratched over and thousands of miles have as yet never been visited by the white man. To get into these moun- tain ranges is easy and no winter hardships need be encountered, nor the blazing heat of summer endured. We have greater mineral resources than Alaska, and while not having as great unexplored territory as that country, we yet have possibilities more far reaching than any other similar area in the world. Our returning soldiers will find everything that they can wish for in Arizona and it is to be hoped that thousands of them will come here to make their homes.

ORGANIZATION FORMED
 BY COPPER PRODUCERS

The copper producers of the United States have formed an organization under the Webb export act, which per mits exporters to unite for the pur- pose of conducting trade with foreign countries.
 John D. Ryan, who was at the head of the government airship production board and formerly president of the Anaconda Copper company, has been elected president of the corporation. The members of the new corporation will have one vote for every 800 tons of copper produced for the prior 12 months. Pres. Ryan estimates that 2,5OO 100000 pounds of copper will be produced in the United States in 1919 and that France, England and Italy will assimilate 1,5OO,000,00O pounds of it. Should the other countries be al lowed to receive metals from the Unit ed States many millions more pounds will be exported. The price will be arranged by this organization and will be free on board at New York harbor.
