THE MOTH" AT ORPHEUM.

According to Webster's, that which
gradually and silently eats, consumes
and wastes anything" is a moth and
the same authority in illustration of
this definition declares "idle persons
are a moth to the community"
whence the title "The Moth" the new
Selznick picture starring Norma Tai
madge which comes to the Orpheum
theatre next Saturday March Both.
In this case "the MOTH" is a young
society woman who wastes her time
seeking diversion and flirting with
fate until sharply brought to her
senses by a dramatic incident calcu-
lated to thrill the most blase of
movie fans.
"The Moth" tells the story of a
young girl Of wealth and social po-
sition who determines to emulate the
example of Cleopatra and "firt her
way to Immortality"
The crossing of her trail about this
time by A. Valentine Spencer, a blue
blooded waster desperate for money
and seeing in marriage with Lucy the
solution Of his financial problems,
snatches Lucy from girlhood and sets
her adrift on society as a matron.
Her husbands infatuation for Mrs.
Teddy Marbridge, the swift set she
travels in, and an insatiate demand to
love and to be loved start Lucy upon
a dangerous course.
Ned Cunningham, the young dis
trict attorney, seeks to pilot her to
a safe port but i%nnocently furnishes
the one weapon needed by the worth
less husband to extort money
from his affluent spouse. A dashing
English soldier, Captain A~uchester, a
man of mystery, flashes across her
horizon and further complexities mat
ters. The supposed murder of Mrs.
Marbridge, which is finally deter
mined to be a suicide, adds to the
complexity of the story.
A truly human note is sounded
when Lucy's children, Babs and Larry,
win their mothers love and she finds
the long sought happiness right in
her W home after travelling the
highways and byways at a pace that
holds the b%reathless interest of the
spectator.

UNWATER|NG Of
DEM NINE IS
NOW GOING ON

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan. 18-Unwater-
ing of the DEM mine to the 1900 level,
preparatory to exploration at that
depth, is the most important piece of
development work at present being
carried on at advanced stage in the
state.
Resumption of development at the
DEM was made in May last, since
when. with exception of few weeks
in which strike troubles prevented
work, there has been unceasing and
vigorous prosecution of extensive
plans underground. From this work
there has thus far been all in encour-
aging results that was anticipated,
and more.
The pumps which will handle Dem
water are now being covered in at
1430 feet in the shaft The water at
present stands a little below the 1900
level. Clearance of the water from
the 1900 level will be underway soon.
Pumps installed are entirely equal to
the task. With the 1900 cleared, there
will be rapid prosecution of work to
determine whether ore found on the
100, 1900, 1900 and 140O levels reaches
down to the 1900. If this is found to
be true, as is now indicated, but which
only actual exploration can positively
determine, DEM will be in possession
of demonstrated depth of ore indi-
eating one of the biggest and richest
mines in the district.
Development work of the Dem on
the 140O has demonstrated that it
has some very desirable ore reaching
over to the G. e A. line. 1t is un-
derstood that Calumet & Arizona is
now driving on its Junction 1900 level
toward the ore that DEM has shown
to be extant at the line, and it is pos
sible that joint development in this
area may be of very great mutual ad-
vantage to DEM and C. & A. in the
extension of ore resources.
DEM management has been very
reticent in talking of the property.
Conservative would perhaps better
express their attitude. They await
findings on the 1900 before commit

sizing the necessity of being notified If
Mrs. Macdonald showed any symp-
toms of another attack.
Billy Louise ran into her own room,
grabbed a can Of talcum and did not
wait to see whether she applied it even
ly to her telltale eyelids, but dabbed
at them on the way to her mothers
room.
Doctor says you're all right, mon-
mie; only you mustn't go digging post
holes or shoveling hay for awhile"
"No, I guess not I" Her mother re-
sponded unconsciously to the stimula-
tion of Billy Louise's tone. II couldn't
dig holes with a teaspoon, I'm that
weak and useless. Did he say what it
was, Pilly Louisew The sick are al

"Oh, your lumbago got to scrapping

gave it, but it's nothing to worry
about" Billy Louise had imagination,

to worry about If he had it," her moth
er retorted fretfully, but reassured nev-
ertheless by the casual manner of Billy
Louise "I believe I could eat little
mite of toast and drink some tea," she
added tentatively.
"And an egg poached soft if you want
it, nom. Phoebe just brought in the
EGGS" Billy Louise went out humming
unconcernedly under her breath as if
she had not care beyond the proper
toasting of the bread and brewing Of
the tea.
One need not go to war or voyage to
the far corners of the earth to find the
stuff heroes are made of.

OUTPUT Of Arizona Mines For
Year 1917 Is Over$214,OOO, 1000
Increase More Than$23, 900

The output of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc from Arizona mines in
1917, according to Victor C. Heikes,
of the United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, had
a total value of over $214,000,OOO, an
increase of more than $23,000,000
over the value of the output in 1916.
This increase was due in part, how
ever, to the greater prices of metals,
all of which, except zinc, were decid-
edly higher in 1917. In quantity there
was a marked increase in gold, a
slight increase in recoverable zinc,
but decreases in silver, copper and
lead. During the early part of the
year Arizona was producing copper
at rate decidedly greater than in
1916, but labor strikes at the main
producing and smelling localities con-
siderably reduced the rate before the
end of the year. Many mills were
built, among them a custom mill at
Chloride, and a sampler at Wicken-
burg. Construction was begun on the
new smelter for the United Verde Ex-
tension Co. at Jerome. The capacity
of the Arizona Binghamton mill was
increased to $50 tons a day.
The production of gold from Ari-
zona mines increased from $685., ,559
in 1916 to about $4,831, 900 in 1917.
AS the production of copper ore and
of lead ore were much less than in
1916, the increase in the output of
gold can be credited to the San Fran
cisco district of Mohave county, and
very largely to the United Eastern
property, which during the year be-
came the largest producer of gold in
the state. The Gold Road mill was
idle and the Vulture property was
operated only a little. Production at
the Tom Reed was upheld, and con-
siderable gold was purchased from
the Copper Chief mine, in the Verde
district
The mine output of silver decreased
from 7,212.O39 ounces in 1916 to about
6.954,OOO ounces in 1917. a decrease
of about $4,000 ounces. In spite of
this decrease, the improved price of
silver, which averaged 81.4 cents an
ounce. brought the value of the out
put to about $5,OOO,OOO, an increase
from $4,745,522 in 1916. The decrease
in quantity was due to decreased
shipments OF lead ore and copper ore.
The mine output of copper was
about 6SS,OOO,OOO pounds, decrease
of 34,O00.O0O pounds, or nearly per
cent. Arizona is still the leading cop
per. mining state and produced more
than twice as much copper as Mon

Billy Louise bit her lips until they
hurt, but she could not keep back the
tears that came hot and stinging while
she read. She slid the little heap Of
odds and ends to the middle of the bed,
crushed the clipping into her palm and
went out stealthily into the immaculate
kitchen. AS if she were being spied
upon she went cautiously to the stove,
lifted lid and dropped the clipping In
where the wood blazed the brightest.
She watched it flare and become moth

clipping was not very large. When it
was gone she put the lid back and
went tiptoeing to the door. Then she
ran.
Phoebe was down by the creek, so
Billy Louise went to the stable,
through that and on beyond, still run
ming. Farther down was a grassy
nook-on beyond the road. She went
there and hid behind the willows,
where she could cry and no one be the
wiser. But she could not cry the ache
out Of her heart nor the rebellion
against the hurt that life had given
her. If she could only have burned
memory when she burned that clip
ping! She could still believe and be
happy if only she could forget the
things it said.
Phoebe called her after a long while
had passed. Billy Louise bathed her
face in the cold water of the Wolverine,
used her handkerchief for towel and
went back to take up the duties life
had laid upon her. The doctors team
was hitched to the light buggy he
drove, and the doctor was standing in
the doorway with his square medicine
case In his hand waiting to give her a
few final directions before he left.
He was like so many doctors-he
seemed to be afraid to tell the whole
truth about his patient. He stuck to
evasive optimism and then neutralized

FALSE STATEMENTS
ARE HARMFUL

The finances of the whole country,
public as well as private, by force of
the national needs at this crisis, are
subordinated and adjusted to the great
Liberty Loan. Financing by railroads
or other great industries and all lesser
private financing must be considered
primarily in relation to the govern
ment.
The needs of private interests, the
money necessities of the business of
the country as we'll as that of the gov
ernment itself, are all considered by
the secretary of the treasury in fixing
the amount and date of each issue of
Liberty Loan bonds, and the effect
of the issue of bonds on all other Sc
curities and all other loans is given
due consideration.
The dissemination, therefore, of un-
true information, even when made in
honest belief and with good intention,
is harmful, and Secretary McAdoo on
Dec. 20 issued the following strong
statement:
''The report that the next issue of
Liberty Bonds will be $S,000,OOO,OOO at
AZ per cent and on March Is, 1918, is
wholly unfounded. I wish I could
make the patriotic newspaper men of
America realize how mischievous and
hurtful to the interests of the coun-
try such speculative statements are.
When a decision has been reached
about the next Liberty loan, it will be
officially announced. Meanwhile, all
other statements and rumors may be
disregarded.''

creased from $177,57O,96O in 1916 to
over $200,000,000 in 1917. Six of the
large copper smelling plants reported
decreased outputs on account of labor
troubles. Five others, however, great
ly increased their copper production

Consolidated Arizona, the Calumet &
Arizona. At the New Cornelia prop
erty the. new teaching plant was start
ed in June and produced more than
2,OOO,444 pounds per month until the
end of the year. Some copper matte
was shipped from the Great Western
smelter in the Big Bug district. The
International Smelling Co. increased
its capacity by adding reverbera-
tory furnace.
The mine production of lead in
Arizona decreased from 27,O62,O87
pounds in 1916 to about $4,000. 900
pounds in 1917, but as the price was
better the value was onf y slightly less
than that of 1916, which was $1,867-
284. Most of the lead ore came from
the Warren district, of Cochise county,
and the Wallapai district, of Mohave
county. Considerable lead ore was
shipped from the Bunker Hill mines,
in the Tombstone district.
The output of recoverable zinc was
about 20,700,000 pounds in 1917, an
increase of about million pounds.
The two largest producers were the
Union Basin property and the Ten
nessee mine, both in the Wallapai
district of Mohave county The Ari-
zona Hillside property at Hillside
shipped considerable quantities of
zinc ore for the first time, and the
properties operated by Randolph &
Gemmill at Crown King also made
some shipments. Zinc was shipped
from the Duquesne property in Santa
Cruz county. Smaller shipments were
made from Wallapai district and from
Globe, Patagonia, Tucson, Pearce and
Casa Grande. The mill of the Union
Basin property was burned in Oc-
tober.
The dividends for eleven months
from Arizona properties amounted to
more than i$41, 100000. The main
