SHELTERS DESIRE
HIGH GRADE ORES
FOR THEIR WORKS

Falling of in production of shipping
ores by small producers over the
state is now being felt by the smell
tiers in Arizona generally. with pres
ent indications pointing to a scarcity
of ore within the next month or two
in place of the surplus which pre-
vailed until around the end Of the
year.
All of the smelters are loOling for
high-grade ore contracts to whatever
size lots as can be obtained from the
small producers. a few Of whom have
gotten their properties in such shape
as to be able to take advantage. High
grade is more than ever essential at
the smelters to make up the differ
ence in reduced content of metal. as
well as reduced quantity of ore out
put, which regular producers are be
ing forced to more and more as they
draw out the higher-grade ore re-
serves upon which they have TO fall
back in order TO operate without loss
on the present metal market.
Instances OF those able to come in
now with high-grade contracts are not
numerous. and still not entirely lack.
ing. a contract of the sort is report
ed with the Narragansett mine. which

recently reported the finding of some
very rich ore. and with the average
run Of the mine is now able to make
high-grade shippig mixture. The

San Xavier district of Pima county, 1t
is said. viii also be enabled to go
back in shipping and is to be cleared
of water.
Beside copper content there are at
tractive smelling qualities in these
ores which make them particularly
desirable In this a hint is contained
to shippers that they can consider to
advantage in going over possible avail
ability OF their ores. Under existing
necessity of getting the lowest pos
sible cost mixtures at the smelters
the latter are alert to every item of
advantage that the shipper can bring
to attention. and glad to pay for il.
However, in spite of strenuous efforts
of both mines and smelters the steady
decline in ore production by small OPP
orators is likely to show in material
reduction this month in the total Of
Arizona copper output, with more to
come in the succeeding months as re-
serve stores in bedding plants are fur

s., 900 900 suit, has begun in the feder-
al court al Tucson in the suit of Col.
J. H. Martin. as trustee for some of to-
creditors of the Imperial Copper COM
pany, against NJ. P. Freeman as trus-
tee for others.
Colonel Martin contends that the
smelter was an integral part Of the
Imperial Copper company and Mr..
Freeman for other creditors, insists il
is separate corporation. AS an inte-
grail part Of the Imperial Copper COM
pany, it would share in the fate of the
copper company which is bankrupt,
while as a separate corporation il
would be in the hands of its own cred
itors. In either event it is said the
smelter would be sold. At present il
is under lease to the American Smelt-
ing and Refining company. 1t has a
capacity of 500 tons per day and is
handling the SilYerbell ores. The lease
can be terminated by 90-days' notice.
The proceedings yesterday were con
F! fined to the introduction of evidence
as to accounts of the Imperial Copper
company, the Southern Arizona rail
road, and the Southwestern Smelter
company, all OF which were units of
the Mine Development Company of
America, the parent company.
George W. DietZ, secretary of the
Imperial Copper company, was on the
stand the latter part of the afternoon
and his testimony was to the effect
that the Smelter company was a sep
arate corporation and not part of the
Imperial Copper company.
Taxes on Porphyries
The U. S. Supreme Court handed
down il the so-called Yale & TOwne
case a decision of prime significance
as affecting the invested capital, for
the war-tax purposes of the pOrphyry
copper companies and other mining
companies. In the Yale & Towne case
it was decided that stock dividend
OF 81 100000 might properly be declar-
ed as capitaliZing earnings accrued
prior to January l, 1913, and the stock
dividend as thus declared would be ex-
empt from income tax, under the pro-
visions Of the law exempting from
: federal income tax distributions of
earnings and profits accrued prior to
March l, 1913. The Yale & Towne
stock dividend was paid Jan ?, 1914,
to stock of record Dec. 20, 1913. and
the treasury department had ruled that
the dividend represented Income" for
1914 on the part of stockholders re-

ROTARIANS DEVELOPING
LOCAL TALENT

There is growing conviction in
the Augusta Rotary Club that the
versatile talent latent in its member
ship should be developed--that the
use of outside attractions at their
meetings Is not only unwtse, but un-
necessary.
For instance, until he entertained
the club with his extraordinary talk
on Art, Income and Whiskers," who
thought that Rotarian Lewis Bur-
leigh was a master cartoonist and
lecture star of the first water.
1t has been discovered, lately, that
in the club membership are several
men who were dramatic stars in col
lege; others have made great hits in
local events such as Chizzle- Wizzle.
Therefore, Pres. Stewart has per-
suaded Rotarian William b. William
son, who is well versed in theatrical
matters. to present an elaborate
vaudeville sketch at the meeting next
Tuesday night using in same only
Rotarian locaf talent. The men Sc
iected are already working hard on
their several parts. and Rotarians
may look for something that prom

The ice in the Kennebec river along
the city water front made another
move Friday afternoon. and although
the move was not very extended
one it showed that the ice is fast
wasting away and that not much
time will elapse before it disappears
altogether. Shortly before noon some
of the big cakes just below the Ken
nebec bridge, forced by the strong
current, were turned over where they
had damned and went under the ice
below them, while down along the
channel on the west side of the river
and a short distance above the Eaton
shoe factory a big space of open wa
ter appeared. AT about 1926 in the
afternoon the ice below the bridge
started and moved down river until
a space of about Is yards of open wa
ter was left, the ice jamming so that
the open place in the channel mem
toned above was closed. Last night
there were a number of open places
along near the east shore OF the river
below the bridge. and the general
opinion seemed to be that the warm
sun and ebb tide of today would set
the ice moving stiIl further down
