WORKING LARGE FORCE
 ON GEO. WASHINGTON

The Washington-Arizona Mining company is operating it's property at Mineral Park with about 30 men. The mines are being developed and splendid ore is being taken from the lower level. The mill is also being de- veloped with good results. This prop erty gives evidence of being one of the good things of the district, having long ore shoots and good width. The ore values are high in silver and also carry some gold. This property is we'll equipped, there being a large milling plant, hoisting plant, com pressor and other necessary machin- cry.
 Tunnels have been driven into the mountain on the veins and consid- erable tonnage of ore opened. With the development of the mines at the deeper level the mill should soon be maintained at it's capacity.

COPPER PRODUCTION
 COSTS STILL HIGH

Little prospect for a lower cost of copper production in the Warren dis trict is held out in a recent survey which shows a continuing ascendancy in cost of everything going into pro- duction of copper which already has reached an increase of 25 to 50 per cent since 1914. With the exception of cement, which has increased only slightly, everything which enters into this industry has increased.
 Production Cost Up
 Fuel oil, of which nine carloads a day are used, has advanced 90 per cent. Coke has gone up 75 per cent. Dynamite and powder are 65 per cent higher than in 1914, though at one time during the war, the increased cost was 190 per cent. One of the large companies uses 125,000 pounds of dynamite a month.
 Timber is costing twice what it did in 1914 and five to six million feet is the monthly requirement. Steel is up 200 per cent. Mining tools are costing from 100 to 200 per cent more and electrical machinery is up 300 to 500 per cent. Freight rates have gone up 25 per cent.

DENVER MAN SEEKS
 TO RECOVER DAMAGES

Damage suits aggregating $11O,- 900 have been commenced in the fed eral court by David Taylor of Den yer against the Nevada Humboldt Tungsten Products company, defend ants, and also against L. A. Friedman, H. J. Munish, Iona Friedman ct al., defendants.
 In the first suit the plaintiff seeks to recover 5000 alleged due for money loaned. The second suit seeks to recover damages in the sum of Sill, ,000 from the Freidman interests for alleged false representations as to the amount of ore blocked out in the Nevada Humboldt Tungsten Mines commpany's properties, located at Mill City, Nevada. The plaintiff is repre- sented by the law firm of Norcrosse, Thatcher and Woodburn.
 The Friedman named as a defend ant in the action is the step father of Ray D. Harris, at one time editor of the Daily Miner. Harris claimed that Friedman mulcted him in the sum of several thousands dollars in a mining deal and suit is now in the courts of Nevada covering the demands of liar ris.

BIG MINING PROPERTY
 VISITED BY STOCKHOLDERS

IL. R. Myers and wife of Minne- apols, Minn., accompanied by others interestedtin the Highland Mining company, were in Kingman last Sat urday, having returned from a visit to the property. MT. Myers and asso- ciates are we'll pleased with the big estate of the company and the local management.
 This company recently secured the patented property of the Union Basin Mining company, which comprises the Tub, Golconda, Prosperity, Primrose, Little Jimmie, and Blackfoot mining claims, besides several fractions. The Tub vein is about 50 feet wide, and where entered on the 500 level was said to have an ore body more than II feet wide of exceptional good mat erial. The Tub shipped many thou sands of tons of ore from it's surface workings, the ores carrying values in gold, silver, lead and copper. This ore can readily be handled by Notation. Before the destruction of the big mill on the Golconda the management in- formed the writer that zinc could be produced at profit were the market to go below five cents. The shoot in the Golconda is over 1900 feet of un- broken ore in length and only small part of the vein has had stopes open ed on it. The ore will average over 50 per cent zinc as it is broken down.

SETTLE TONOPAH STRIKE
 AGREEMENT ALL PARTIES

At a conference of miners and op- orators, held at Tonopah last Thurs day, tentative arrangements were made to end the strike. The men had struck for a horizontal raise of one dollar per day of eight hours, which was refused by the arrangements of all the mines. The men were getting from $5.5O to $6.5O per day and the raise would have been hard to meet for some of the operators. Tonopah Divide is a comparatively new camp and only few of the mines are ship ping ore, the others being in the chrysalis stage. The sane element of the camps affected by the strike got together and agreed to compromise their differences.
 Divide is a hard place to work in on account of the feverish manner in which that camp was started. There are few! houses, the men mostly de- pending on Tonopah to provide the supplies and necessaries of the place. While it is only six miles away it is too far to get comfortable results. Sleeping quarters are bad and the eats are not what they should be in we'll regulated mining camp. Nevertheless the men are making money and should cooperate with the men who are put ting their good money into the pros- poets to enable them to make a real camp of the place. The original Ton opah Divide mine is wonderful prop erty and there will be others brought in to make that country as important as Goldfield was at any time in it's heydey. Millions of dollars are ready to go into development and as all or nearly all the work there is under con- tract and the men are paid one dollar per day more than the scale on con- tract work, there should be plenty of money for all kinds of investment among the men. Some of them have already cleaned up a fortune and are beyond the worry end of life's game.

RICH STRIKE
 AT ABE LINCOLN MINE

A strike of rich ore is reported to have been made in the Abe Lincoln mine near Wickenburg a few days ago. Prosecuting is declared to show the ore body to be fully 60 feet wide, with streaks of high-grade ore from two and one-half to four feet wide and averaging over $10O per ton in gold, silver and copper.
 This property is under steady devel- opment and is promising to become in the future one of the great copper mines. The company is composed of Omaha capitalists and is stated to be a close corporation with no stock on the market.

STRANGE FLOWERS IN FRANCE
(Stray Stories)

(Stray Stories)
 A strange phenomenon is to be seen at present on the battle fields of France.
 Flowers, not known within living memory, are breaking out on the scared surface and in shell holes and dugouts.
 Botanists have become interested in the discovery of the plants, which, it is believed, have sprung from seeds buried in the depths of the earth for decades past. A well known botanist in London discussing the phenomenon said:
 "There is evidence that seeds may be buried for upwards of sixty years with-awaiting the time of germina- tion.
 . "It is known that seeds have been buried for upwards of sixty years without losing their power of germin- ation. Seeds of corn and wheat bur- jed with Egyptian mummies thou sands of years ago have been planted in the Twentieth Century and have germinated in the ordinary way.
 It is quite possible that strange Towering plants is, strange to the local inhabitants-are now flower ing in the French battle fields. The heavy shellfire which has torn up the earth may have created conditions for their growth after lying dormant so long,"

ALLEGED EXCESS TAX
 BASIS OF VERDE SUIT

The defendants answer to the sec ond amended complaint of the plain tiff in the suit brought by the United Verde Copper company against Judge Alfred Franklin, collector of internal revenue, was completed yesterday by United States Attorney Flynn and fil- ed with the clerk of the federal court.
 The litigation, which probably will |come before the federal court at the Prescott session now going on, is a |sequel to contest which originated over the United Verde's income tax for the years 1913, 1914 and 1915. The |copper company claims that it was forced to pay too much tax, to put it |baldly, and in the answer filed yes- terday the revenue collector denies the 'claim.
 In 1913, the company, in making out it's income tax return, made an allow Rnce of $2S2,000 for the depletion of pres. The collector maintained that these figures should be reduced by S212,000, and allowed only $70,0OO for Depletion.
 The next year the company made an Allowance of $235,0OO for ore deple- ion, and the government reduced the mount to $62,000, collecting tax on he other $172,OOO. In 1915 practi- ally the same thing again happened. he company allowed $370,OOO for ore depletion, and the internal revenue apartment reduced it to $92,500.
 Strong protests were made by the opper company in each case, inas- puch as about $6OO,OOO was added to Is annual income on which the tax as collected, in the three years. The bntest was followed with the filing
 the suit by the company against

Therefore, 1t seems to mo the duty

insist that he should duly bow his

Then, in the advertisements and on

the accompanist al to that Of the

81 am quite sure that If these two
simple suggestions were acted on, it
would make the accompanist feel that
he had definite status and position

from some equally mysterious cause,

The fact remains that the public never

somewhat taI1 to account for, con-

to possess the .indefnable gift of sup
porting a performer without drowning
him, of breathing with the singer, of
following the slightest nuance of the
instrumentalist! All these things and
many others are actually essential to
the making of great accompanist, and,
as will be easily imagined, they are
not gained without much hard work,
study and experience, added to which
natural talent is indispensable. Why,
then, should an accompanies, having
attained these things, be the last per-
