AVIATION MEN WANTED.
Attractive Service, Good Pay and op.
portunity for Promotion.

Authority has just been granted by
the general staff Of the army for the
enlistment Of about 1900 men into
the air service This presents an I'M
usual opportunity for those who de-
sire to become identified with what is
probably the most talked of and fas-
cinating branch of military service:
and it Is a foregone conclusion that
the quota will soon be filled Enlist
ment is for one or three-year periods,
the former being for those who have
special aptitude in one or more of the
trades listed below. and the other for
those who must be trained In a gov
eminent school to properly equip
them for the work.
The air service has a mechanical
instruction school in operation at the
present time and is about to establish
others.
The apparent disparity between the
pay of civilians and pay of enlisted
men in the army, at the first glance
seems TO De III ldNOT VI tie CAV hlli
whereas, as matter of fact, If the
question were analysed closely, the
average pay of the enlisted man COM
pares very favorably with that of the
civilian.
The air service offers liberal allow
ances of furloughs in times OF peace
medical and dental attention, excel
ent chances to travel, physical train
ing, retired pay after 80 years ser
vice, clothing, board and lodging. TIT
following are the rates of pay in thu
army: Private, 30; private, first class
500; corporal, s36; sergeant, $44; ser

DIVIDE. NEVADA.
New Bonanza Camp With Millions
Already in Sight.

(Salt Lake Mining Review
Nevada has a new bonanza mining
camp. and the whole country is wild
with excitement over it.
From all accounts this is the first
real new mining district to be found
in the west for a number of years
and, strange to relate, it is located in
the near vicinity of two of Nevada's
most prosperous districts-Tonopah
and Goldfeld.
This new aspirant for public favor
is called Divide" 1t Is located Dur
six miles south of Tonopah, and 10
easily accessible to that great silver
bearing camp. Tonopah has been and
is still a wonder. but from all reports
Divide promises to eventually eclipse
the wonderful record made by the for
mer. for its ore bodies are large and
rich, while the ores Of the new mines
being developed there are both gold
and silver-bearing.
1t is already estimated that millions
in ore have been uncovered In doinf
development work, only. in the new

district, and the future Of the new

district, and the future Of the new
camp seems assured. As matter OF
fact the success browning the efforts
of Divide claim owners has caused a
wild stampede to the district, and the
early days of Tonopah and Goldheld
are being reenacted. Dwellings and
business houses are going up as if by
magic, and yet accommodations for
the crowds are sadly lacking at the
present time, condition that is be-
ing taken advantage of by Tonopah.
whose hotels and boarding houses are
strained to the limit to take care of
those who are in any way interested
in the new camp.
The discovery of the new camp of
Divide proves beyond a question the
truth of the old saying that gold is
where you find it," and also empha-
sizes the fact that all of the mines Of
this western country have not been
found as yet, strange feature con-
nected with Divide being the fact that,
being so near Tonopah, that section
has been overrun a thousand times by
mining men who either never suspect
ed the existence of big ore bodies be-
low the surface or who, noting the
grass root indications and minerali-
cation, were as unbelieving as Peter
of biblical fame, and passed on to
where the fields looked greener be-
yond.
We are pleased and gratified that
this new discovery has been made, for
the very fact that a new and promis-
ing camp has sprung into existence
will have a most stimulating effect on
the mining industry.

COST OF COPPER.
Inspiration Holds Record for Cheap
Production.

PRODUCTION.
A review of comparative costs OIL
production of the several porphyry
copper producers in the Boston News
Bureau of April 16. shows the record
of the Inspiration company to lead IN
low cost for the year 1918 in the per
pound expenditure.
Inspiration takes the palm as the
lowest cost producer Of any OF the
copper companies which have thus FAR
reported 1918 results. While 1t did
not operate at much more than 80 per
cent of capacity during the whole IL
months, it produced 9S,540,01 pounds
Of metal at a cost of liz cents per
pound. This Is before depreciation
and federal taxes, but includes
charge for ore depletion.
Notwithstanding operating expenses
OF most of the American mining COM
NAMES almost doubled last year, In
spiration's per pound figure represent
ed an increase of only three quarters
of a cent over 1917. OF course, in
cluded in the company's 1917 accounts
was the cost Of the labor strike whlcf
in that year swept over the Arizona
copper camp, but excluding that, In
spiration made very favorable
showing.

more reading matter. General Per
shing has cabled the request that
more magazines be sent to the Amer
leans on duty in France and in other
countries in Europe. The general
says the boys need interesting read
ing matter as never before.
The supply of magazines has been
reduced from 10 to tons a month
due to misapprehension of the public
that magazines could not be sent I'M
der the one cent postage ruling. Some
magazines inadvertently dropped the
line announcing that publications
would be carried overseas under
cent stamp. The ruling is still in
force and magazines are being asked
t. print it again in the upper right
hand corner of their first page.
Red Cross divisions and chapters
are urged to stimulate renewed inter
est in the sending of magazines
abroad by acquainting the public will
