are unable to gain. In the region Of
Rheims the same story is true as the

BY penetrating to the Marne or

seven. miles north Of the river, which
they now hold, the Germans appar-
emily hope to spread out eastward

strong allied positions at Scissors anl
at Rheims. French resistance in the
center. however, is growing and the
Germans are getting farther and
farther away from their original base
along the Ailette.
Paris and London view the eitua-
ton more favorably and in neither
capital is there fear. that German Of
fensive will become as serious q
menace to the allied defense as the
origir,l! onslaught in March.
Although the German salient is
about Is miles deep in the center,
Paris Is not much nearer nor has the
enemy advance yet affected the allied
lines eastward from Montdidter. In
fact the Germans would be in dan
gerous position should General Fsoch
strike eastward along the Aisne fr oln

SMALL OPERATORS IN STATE RESPOND
 TO PRICE
IMPETUS GIVEN PRODUCTION FROM SMALL PROPERTIES OF ARIZONA TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 26 CENT METAL

If the war industries board sought to ascertain through it's advance in the price of copper whether such course would have the effect of stimu- lating production, il is likely to get an affirmative answer through the July returns, and a strongly affirma- tive one through August results, pro vided the 26 ct. price is continued or still further advanced
 The results from the higher price are not so marked in relation to out put of the big concerns. but they are most notable in the heavier shipments and operations of the small operators and leasers. These are encouraged. or rather enabled. to mine and ship medium grade ores with their limited grade and are responding with stead fly increasing shipments to the GUS tom ore divisions of the smelters. A sufficiently higher price tO enable the larger operators to get into their low grade coupled with assurance that the higher price would prevail for a suf- ficient time to justify the increased expense of opening into the low grade. would duplicate the results now being got from the small operators.

The publication of the valuation of the railroads of the state for the pur- pose of taxation, as given out recently, shows some very interesting figures on the valuation of the various rail- roads and the reasons for their exist ence.
 The total railroad mileage of Arizo- ma is 2347.36 miles. valued at S9S.416- 66S. The main lines of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe were built across the state between 90 and 40 years ago. not for the purpose of serv- ing Arizona. but as a means of reach ing the west coast. and while these main lines have served as the basis for further railroad extensions. no in- dustry. in the state can really claim credit for their existence.
