.SPAUR NAMED
NAVAL ensign

George o. Spaur, who has for the
past few weeks been in the employ
OF the Arizona-Hercules Copper com.
pany in the office of General Manager
Wilson, received advices a few days
ago from the secretary of the navy
that the U. S. senate had rendered him
an appointment as naval officer for
marine engineering duties, with rank
of ensign. Also ordered him to pro-
ceed TO Philadelphia, Pa, for duty
aboard the u. S. battleship Kearsarge
to which city he is now en- route. He
was recently discharged from the
navy, having served some eighteen
months during the late war, and was

CAMP At FAIR

The Phoenix Engineers society, re-
Gently organized with the idea of he.
coming a chapter of the American AS
sociatiOn of Engineers, has arranged
to maintain camp for the benefit of
visiting engineers during the state
fair. A number of army tents has
been secured, as well as cots and
blankets for this purpose, and a first
class camp, with all necessary appur-
tenances and conveniences will be es-
tablished.
The camp will be located on North
First avenue on the vacant property
just north of the Woman's club.
A meeting has been called for 10
a. m. Wednesday, November 5, to dis
cuss the proposition of forming a
statewide organization of the Ameri-
can Association of Engineers.
Engineers expecting to visit the
state fair and who have not provided
for accommodations, are requested to
notify the chairman of the Phoenix
Engineers society, city hall, Phoenix,
in order that proper accommodations
may be provided.
The Phoenix Engineers society con-
tains at present 70 members, with
prospects for as many more. An in
vitation has been extended to the
Glote-Miami chapter of the American
Association of Engineers to be pres

number of engineers will avail them.

the Phoenix Engineers society for

that the shortage of hotel accommo-

this year, but members of the engi-
neering profession, including civil,
architectural, need not worry about
electrical, mechanical, mining and
accommodations as there will be am

SUNDAY PRACTICE
SHOOT IS WON BY
old MAN CARLISLE

Old man Carslile was the star per-
former of the day. What made the
old, grey-headed man shoot so well?
T. must have been the gun, for he shot
for the first time a new single-barrel
Ithaca The regular program each
Sunday is shot in one ten, and two
twenty-bird events. In the first event
OF ten targets Carslile dropped three,
shooting a little low on the third,
eighth and ninth. He seemed to be
just trying the gun out, for he broke
his last target in eve t one and the
next forty tar hawks in events two
and three he smashed into little puffs
OF dust. 1t takes nerve to be able to
break forty-one of those fast-flying
cvla birds without missing, but the
old man is there. Of course, Carslile
won the steak knife in class A.
DR.. Gowan. also shooting a new
single-barrel Ithaca, won the knife in
class B, breaking 80 out of so. Ell
Fordo RICK was. the runner-up in class
B with SO breaks to his credit. Rick

and will soon be able to shoot among
the best of them. All the class c.

ance of a complete and reliable CEN

be based on accurate knowledge If we

hoped, therefore, that the public-spirit-

MAGMA Chief
REPORT FULL
OF GOOD news

Favorable in the extreme is the re-
port of operations at the Sombrero
Butte property Cf the Magma Chief
Copper company, recently sent to
stockholders in that corporation. De-
velopments at the new property of the
Magma Chief south of Hayden during
the past ten months. according to the
report, have resulted in the discovery
OF rich copper ore in both new and old
workings of the property, and ship
ments are being made to the Hayden
smelter with highly favorable returns.
The report to stockholders which
was issued September % over the sig
nature of Charles A. Kumke, general
manager of the company, reviews op-
erations since the first of the year.
The new two-compartment shaft, con-
tract for which was let early in the
year, to be sunk 300 feet. has now
reached a depth of 305 feet. and in
short time work of cutting the 300-foot
station will begin. This will be about
ten feet below the present bottom of
the shaft.
At the 220-foot mark a cross-cut was
run toward the ore body At fifteen
feet the diorite contact was encoun-
tered, indicating that a considerable
throw had taken place between the
12O and 22O. The drift was turned to
follow this contact, and at 20 feet from
the shaft encountered high-grade
glance and oxides of copper This
drift, the report states, is of better
grade and in a larger lens than on the
120 level. The high-grade ores for
shipping are sorted here at ratio of
one ton of high grade for every five
tons broken.
The first trial shipment of 16 tons
to the Hayden smelter, the statement
says, ran 159 per cent copper An
other shipment of 40 tons has been
run. and netted the company $1.765.93
from the smelter. Another lot of
forty tons taken from the 220 level is
now ready for the smelter.
In closing the report says:
Summer floods have caused much
delay. Roads have been repeatedly
washed out. and proposed high line
road is now under consideration. the
building Of which, we hope, will be
carried on jointly by the three compa-
les now operating in this district.
"In developing this property, the
management has adhered strictly to
the plans outlined when operations
first began and these plans will be
followed to completion in the future.
and from the showings of recent work
it is only fair to expect larger and
better ore bodies with depth"
The effect of the report is expected
by company officials to send the stock
to much higher levels, and stockhold-
ers have Eeen asked to withhold their
stock from the market temporarily
pending further financing of the conf
pany's operations ard with view to
enhancing the value of their own
holdings.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
The Red Cross is an organized an

Although the war is over, it's blight
is still upon us, and the scope of the
beneficent activities of this great and
philanthropic society has been broad

It's immediate future program in

obligation to the Army and Navy, in
itself task of no small magnitude,
but a continuance of it's efforts in be-

are still in military hospitals; the re-
organization and holding ready for call
again of the fifty base hospitals or
ganized before the United States en-
tered the war and turned over to the
Army during hostilities; aid to the
families of soldiers amounting to over
100000 a month; a nationwide cru

health, combined with a campaign for
an extension of the countrys nursing
resources: the broadening of Home
Service, to be of general usefulness
where other social agencies are lack

relief and completion of relief meas.

country and overseas.
1t is not necessary to dwell upon the
results achieved by this organization
appropriately called "The Great Moth

every man, woman and child, speak
for themselves and need neither apol-
Iogy nor encomium. Neither is it neces-
sary to cite reasons why it's work
should be continued; they, too, are
selfevident. Argument is out of place.
The simple statement of fact that
members and funds are needed to
carry out the purposes and carry
on the plans of the organization
should suffice.

which the Red Cross undertook among
the war sufferers overseas and which
the Red Cross is obliged to carry to

"But in addition to these tasks that
the war has left as a legacy to the
Red Cross, there is a program of very
wide scope for service at home-a
service dedicated to the welfare OF
Americans. This program is too vast
to tell in a brief statement, but it's
outstanding features are nationwide
activity in the promotion Of public
health, continuance of home service

GERMAN BLOCKADE
LIFTED SATURDAY
MAY BOOST COTTON

With the lifting Saturday of the
blockade against Germany, trading be-
tween that country and the United
States, as well as the other associated
powers, will begin.
Acting Secretary of State Polk an
nounced Friday that blanket licenses
would be issued for transactions of
American firms, and that details
would be given within As hours after
decision by legal experts as to wheth-
er formal proclamation by the presi.
dent would be necessary.
Trading in all commodities, except
dyestuffs, chemicals and potash, con-
troll over which will be exercised by
the reparations committee set up by
the peace treaty, will be unrestrict-
ed, it was said American firms doing
business with Germany must send
their agents into that country with
out passports, however, as these can
not be issued until the proclamation
of peace.
Shipment of goods which this coun-
try sends to Germany must be made
under a system of credits to be ar
ranged later through private capital,
officials said. While Germany has
large quantities of goods ready to be
exported, officials doubted that there
would be any great demand for them
in this country, and consequently the
trade balance in favor of the United
States is expected to be large.
Germany was said to be in immedi-
ate and pressing need of raw materi-
ais of almost all kinds. particularly
cotton and copper, in order to rehabili-
tate her industries. Large amounts
of food have been sent into that coun-
try. under direction of the interallied
relief commission, but it is believed
that the demand for corn and other
cereals will be great. Clothing of all
kinds also is needed.
Three ships for Germany already
have been loaded in American ports,
one with cotton and two with general
merchandise, it was stated Friday at
the shipping board and they will start
ON6I5Odo do SOOu aS A4S0nSS5 lOA JuO4l
cargoes have been issued.
It was also announced that direct
steamship lines to Hamburg and Bre-
men would be established by the
board. These lines win operate out
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and South Atlantic and gulf
ports, just as soon as the necessary
cargoes are at the docks.
