Construction Goes on Despite High
 Costs

SUPERIOR, Mary 1f-It will not be possible after the war to charge to Arizona mining interests that they slacked in any degree on the expense of construction that might increase their maximum efficiency during the war period, notwithstanding the fact that construction is costing several times more under existing conditions than it did in 1914 or that it is likely to after the war. United Verdes big expenditures in new rail construction, shelter increases and steam shoveling preparations, those of Verde Extension in hauling tunnel requirement, of Shattuck Arizona in mill construction, of Copper Queen in steam shovel de- velopment and mill construction, of Miami Copper in power plant and milling increases, all stand out in proof that there is no hanging back on the part of the companies finan- cially able to go ahead, regardless oi the price of metal. Magma Copper, of Superior, is the latest to undertake a large item of expense having il, creased efficiency as it's basis. Mag mas step will be taken shortly in the beginning of an 1900 foot supply tun- mel which will serve the deep levels of the three shafts which have been put down. There will be motor tracks and other traffic ways in the tunnel. Min- CTS will traverse it to their, work and be relieved of the present climbs they are obliged to make to the shafts. At the portal of the tunnel the extension of the railway will meet the outcom- ing ore cars. A large warehouse and other buildings 10 accommodate the mine business will be built there and the Superior depot building and much of the yard facilities be released fo. tho growing requirements of the dis trict other than Magma business.
 Equipment Means Much
 Magma has been going through more ] than a year of intensive work in dc !

Arizona Mines Labor shortaqe

GLOBE, May 11.-Reports from the various mining districts of the state show that while in moss instances there are plenty of men present to give the mines full complements So far as numerical strength is concerned in nearly all cases there is a shortage in some lines of workers. In mining as in all otlier industries the onaIn is only as strong as it's weakest Ink. \ shortage of help in any one line tends to lower outputting ability in every other department. Some districts, for instance, have an excess of miners and muckers, but a shortage of ma chine drill men. The drill men pio- neer the way in the mine work and therefore it's maximum results are governed in this instance by the number of machine men it can get. Some districts arc. short of timber- men, fact that holds back a.. other divisions, because the general work can go ahead only as fast as tie tim- hermen can keep up their end. As the federal employment bureaus be- come better established there IS hope that considerable help can be eX- tended in providing distribution of i1le labor so that present difficulties will be materially reduced.

Activity in Small Mines

BISBEE, May 11-None short of phenomenal is the increase in small mining activities throughout the state, as indicated by reports received by the Arizona Chapter American Min ing Congress from the various dis tricts. All of the gain has come about practically within the last month and in each instance represents discount ing of the probable advance of the price of copper in June. It is not only the small operators, however, who are taking cognizance of the out look for better metal price. The large operators are much interested as we'll and are planning to reach back into their lower grade ores and increase both ore and metal output in the event of sufficiently higher price being authorized to permit them to do so. It is a year now since they have been able to take out anything except the high grade and the possibility tfa, they may be able to ease the latter up and go after the lower grades once more is exceedingly welcome. Much work will be necessary in most in : stances in the mines to prepare the way for extraction of the lower grades after their long neglect. A good deal | of this has been started.
 Severe Lapse Otherwise
 Should the anticipated advance i the price of copper fail of realization
 it will convey the severest discourge- ment to mining generally in the state l that might be given at this time | Many small operators who have | plunged to more or less extent in the expense of making ready for resump- | tiny, s7f nrOdncfinn nr, than ever before, and some who have acquired new properties to add l. their holdings and put under produc

 month, will be brought to worse thar a standstill. Another thing that mus be considered and that is of ever more imortance is the fact that ( great many men have been remaiiiins in employment in the mines, mills a.i( shelter departments solely because O.

his natural physical advantages will be

Miske Is Aggressive

Miske, On the other mitt. is an ag-
gressive, ncrvy battlcr and afraid of no
one. He can travel at n fast pace, as
was shown in his fights with Jack Dillon
and Battling Levinsky. lie directs most
of his attack at the body--a place where
Fulton does not like to take IT, For a
short time Miske probably will give
Fulton a lot of trouble, but the big guy
should win in the end,
If Fulton loses or the fracas goes the
full ten rounds he is virtually done as
a drawing card and will have a hard
time in qualifying as Wizards opponent
for the title. But you must hand It to
him for keeping busy. lie is willing to
box any one, and after his quarrel to-
night will leave for New Orleans, where
he meets Frank Moran i'm Il couple Of
