SHIPS ESSENTIAL SAYS
 U. s. FUEL ADMINISTRATION

PHOENIX, Feb. I4-National Fuel Administrator Garfield considers the national shipbuilding campaign some thing that touches very intimately and materially upon his own sphere Of activities. So he has wired the State Council of Defense urging that Arizona do her part in furnishing the necessary workmen.
 Ships cannot move without coal, says the fuel administrator, but neither can coal move without ships. We must have ships to carry freight away from the scaboard terminals, or coal will be tangled up again, as it was three weeks ago, tangled mp with outbound freight and unable to reach the ships waiting for fuel, 10 enable them to carry out cargoes from the oongcStcd tracks. With plenty O. ships to keep the terminals clear, we shall be able 10 move coal to the places where il is most needed, and we shali have coal enough to move |. faster we can produce 1t. for the mines load directly from tipplc to car. When tl:crc arc no cars, they halt their out put, for bituminous coal cannot be stored at the mines.
 livery man, woman and child in the United States has at least a touch of war hardships through in- tcrruption of the coal supply. We all know now that more hardships will rccur unless we remedy the fundamental conditions. That means that We arc all interested in building ships. Do everything you can to speed slipbuilding, for your own com fort, for your own safety, for the honor oi the United States, 10 enable this country to bear its share of the burden of the war"

PHOENIX, Feb. l4.-Gcorgia yes terday joined the list Of other States in which Arizona slackers have been apprehendcd, information being re- ocived at the office of the adjutant general that an Arizonian who had cvadcd military service was under arrest there.
 Since December l, 1917, nearly 400 slackers have been apprehended and irducted into the military service, ac- cording to information at State draft headquarters. Of these, 335 have been duly credited to the various counties, while 50 more are in transit.
 Cochise county is at the head of the list in he number of slackers picked up and sent to cantonments, that county being credited with & since December l. Gila and Graham coun- ties tie for second place, with 45 each, while Navapai is third with 42. None has been returned from Apache.

 Of the 3.472 men from Arizona call ed to date, there was on December l, 1917, deficit of 4S5, due to slack CTS who failed to report for examina- tion, or did not cntrain for camp. Since that time 333 have been apprc- hendcd and inductcd into the service, (accoTding to the books and with 50 more in transit), leaving balance of only l5l to be sent to join the colors when iEc call for the final Is per cent is made However, the Arizona slack CTS are being picked up at such a rapid rate that it is expected the full quota soon will be filled, and for that req son this state may not be called on for the l5 per cent, the call for the other States being set for February B.

HEALTHY MINING OUT
 LOOK AS ZINC CLIMBS
(From Saturdays Daily.J

Standardizing of zinc at l2 cents a pound, this action having been off cially proclaimed by the government. is proving a boon to mining in this section, and is receiving expressions of commendation by many who are operating this character of a mineral property, as well are those deeply in- tcrcstcd where the complex output has this by-mctal as a content. In connection with this official consid- cration, the outlook for the holdings of the Arizona Hillside Development Co., situated in Copper Creek dis trict, is materially affected, and this property is assured for the future to attain high-class rating in consc quencc,
 X. NJ. Gillespie and T. R. Buell., principals of this company, who ar rived yesterday from the camp, stated operating plans are to undergo change since official action has been taken to advance the price and main tain its future on a better market basis than has existed for many years. \ new compressor is to be installed at once, while generally speaking a regeneration of affairs will follow at once. by which heavy production will be given, and on basis by which security will be afforded in carrying out large development. This con sidcration toward zinc Is deserved and of course welcomed, meaning as it does that our interest are being considered as justly as arc other minerals, which are climbing up to their proper rating" said Mir. Giles pic yesterday.
 The Copper King, a holding of the Hillside, since being revived a short time ago, has undergone thorough exploration and now cmcrgcs into rating of high class proposition. Its raw product with zinc values estab- lishcd on a permanent basis as an nounccd, will easily average SlOO pei ton. The new wagon road being built from the works to Hillside, on the railroad, 30 miles long, IS an eH' pcnsivc undertaking, but the outlay fully justifics the expense, and par ticularly so with this metal at a standard price. Other mines in that belt are also affected, and generally speaking, the wisdom of better and safer market takes away speculative fluctuations and insures return to solid conditions, which capital win acrecabIy welcome. Mir. Gillespie stated yesterday the Copper King be- gins its heavy production just as soon as the road is opened, which IS eN- pcctcd inside of three mouths, when
