THRIFT AMONG SCHOOL
 CHILDREN IS PRAISED

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 12-Public school pupils of San Francisco have saved $500,000 in the last eight years. according to a report made by Philip J. Lawler, Manager of the Bank of Italy's School Savings Department, to c. A. Farsworth, Associate Director of the United States War Loan Or ganization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. In 191112 the bank started it's thrift work in the schools, issuing school penny stamps. In the last tive years Thrift and War Saw ings Stamps have been sold in con- nection with the school penny stamps.
 For the last 1O5 school days Law Ter reports the school children have passed $41, ,57S.74, and the total num- Der of individual students purchasing penny, Thrift, and War Savings Stamps was 90,941. Sales of Thrift and War Savings Stamps amounted to $27,OO7.65, while school penny stamp sales totaled $14,571.09.
 It costs us more than we make out of it to run the school savings work" Y" said MT. Lawler, "but it is good bus mess because we are building up fu- ture bank clientele among these boys and girls. The important angle of our work, however, is the lesson of thrift and saving we are teaching the pupils and the sense of responsibility they acquire through having bank account or what amounts to the same thing, the securities of the Govern ment. They are learning the secret of success and good citizenship, and the bank would feel well repaid for it's work because of this even if we never got a single customer"
 The school savings plan operated by the Bank of Italy in cooperation with the Government is in force in sixteen counties of California, with an aggregate of 23s schools. Law ler's report covering the banks actlvl- ties for the 39 school days up to Dec ember 1 in the country schools shows that 17,9S6 pupils bought $5,4S5.36 worth of Thrift, War Savings Stamps, and penny school stamps, making a grand total for the sales in the San Francisco and country schools of $47,- O64.1O for 1O5 school days ending Dec ember 1.
 The Bank of Italy and the Govern ment will continue to cooperate in the school savings work throughout 1920, with every prospect of increasing the number of pupils purchasing stamps, and thereby the total sales. Most Of the teachers, Lawler said, are support ing the thrift work enthusiastically and report a constantly growing in terest on the part of pupils in the work.

 It is easy to understand the i'm pulses of the band of underworld ha- bitues who set out to make capital of faith healer's power. And it is so easy to understand how these same de- generates, coming under the influence of exalted faith, find themselves purg- ed of their own unworthiness.

 In speaking of the picture, the New York Evening Mail says:
 "If George Loane Tucker does noth- ing beyond giving the screen "Ihe Miracle Man." the current attraction at the George M. Conan theater, he will be remembered in the history Of the photoplay as the director who first came nearest to photographing thought.
 Tremendous Appeal.
 The difficulty confronting the direc- tors who would attempt to translate Frank Packards story into terms of celluloid must be evident not only to those who have read the novel, but to those who witnessed Mr. Cohan's stage version of the tale. That MT. Tucker has surmounted this difficulty and made a picture of tremendous emotional appeal at the same time is an achievement of such measure that adequate words of praise are not easi- ly found.

Work Is Begun At
 Jerome Del Monte

Operations are to be resumed i'm mediately at the Jerome Delmonte In fact, small force is already at work, under the direction of J. A. Eldredge, overhauling the machinery and putting it in shape for a long period of activity. Eldredge has been at the property as watchman most of the time since the shutdown early in 1918.
 The big three-compartment shaft, which is down a little more than 45O feet, is now dry. While it was being sunk a heavy flow of water was struck and pumps capable of hand ling 700 gallons minute were in stalled. Several pumps ordered by the Jerome Delmonte company in Los Angeles were confiscated by the government for naval purposes. About the time deliveries were se- cured, Uncle Sam requested the Of ficers to discontinue operations until after the war.
 It is understood that the develop ment work planned for immediate future consists of sinking the shaft to greater depth. This shaft is to- ward the north end of the property, which consists of A claims.

LOCAL, COUNTY AND STATE MINING NEWS
YUMA COUNVY
 DEVELOPMENT

YUMA, Nov. Announcement
 was made last week of the organiza ton of a million dollar mining com pany in the Kofa district. Yuma men and New York capital are backing the new company and it is hoped that soon the company may begin actual work on their mine.
 The property lies in the Kofa dis. trict only a few miles from the New King of Arizona mine. The new company will be known as the Kofa Queen Mine and Milling company and is said to have the best prospect of any mine in the southwest The yein of the new mine is 15O feet wide and is exposed for more than 150O feet along the surface The vein Is the largest gold paying vein ever found in the state of Arizona and as it has assayed very high it is ex. pected that the new mine will be a wonderful money payer The gold in the vein runs from the grass roots" down and at a very shallow depth shows wonderfully rich ore.
 The new mine lies in what is prob ably one of the richest gold countries in the world. The Kofa district has not been developed because of it's iso- lation and it's situation in the heart of the desert, miles from water. In the old days prospecttors had to car ry their water for more than twenty miles burroback in order to prospect in the district. Now that reservoirs have been built in the canyons to hold back and preserve the rain water the water situation has been solved. As a consequence the dis trict is becoming very lively and many good prospects have been dis covered.
 The new mine lies between the New King of Arizona mine and the Lone Star, which were two of the famous gold producing mines of the state some years ago. During the past few months arrangements have been made to open up both the North Star and the King. of Arizona mines and they will no doubt be placed on the dividend paying list within a short time.

ARIZONANS IN
 PLUMAS MINE

Of considerable interest to Arizona people is the activity of the Feather River company, an Arizona corpora ton, headed by George w. Long of Phoenix and Fred J. Elliott, formerly or Globe, who have associated with them prominent Arizona men.
 Long has just returned from tho company's property, which is located in Plumas county, California. The property now operated by the Feath- CT River company was formerly the Snowstorm mine, and is in a district where the Anaconda Copper company and other biz copper interests are op- erating. Long states that there is a great amount o Activity in that sec tion.
 The Feather River company is at present making eight feet a day, driv- ing a tunnel, which is now in over 200 feet To further this work with greater speed the company will short ly install an electrically squipped plant.
 Ali big compressor has already been ordered from San Francisco, as well as other equipment. Transformers will soon be on the property. The power arrangements save already been completed
 Although the district where the Feather River property is located is looked upon as a new one, the En- geles Copper company has been op- eratins' in the section for some time and has already produced a great amount of copper. The company is a close corporation and in the past year paid over a half million dollars in dividends. The Feather River prop erty adioins the Engeles.
 The Anaconda Copper company which IS operating what is known as the Walker mine in the Feather River district. paid s63O,COO for the control ling interest in the property, and is now operating on an extensive scale.

CONDITIONS IN
 VERDE SECTION
 ARE EXCELLENT

No matter what may happen else where, there is promise of abundant work in the Verde district for all the labor that can be used for the next several years, provided that general and local conditions make it possible to carry out the magnificent plans of improvement that are under way or are in contemplation, says the Verde Copper News.
 A trip along the hillside to the north of town will give slight idea of the magnitude. of the operations in volved in cutting the top off the United Verde mine, and of the enor- nous tonnage of material that that operation involves. And this is but the beginning of the many extensions and improvements that are planned.
 We all know what has been done around the town in the way of eXten sion and new building in the last two or three years, but the changes that will come in the next similar period will be even more startling.
 And it is to be remembered that these changes and betterments are all based on only the present produc- ing mines. What will happen when we have two or three more producers it would be a wise man indeed who should attempt to guess. The known plans of the present companies call for the expenditure of many millions and demonstrate their faith in the permanence and the future of the camp. The visions of those who, years ago, saw a new Butte lying along the slopes of the Black hills, bid fair to be more than realized, and it is not too much to hope that we shall see one of the greatest mining cities of the country here.
 With ample employment for our labor and with the companies turn ing a large proportion of their profits into extensions and improvements, the Verde district has little to fear for the future. That We shall have additional mines is something that no one familiar with the district can doubt. They may not be developed today or tomorrow, but they are bound to come.
