MT. Winchel showed that the rail way statistics give the mining indus try credit for over two cars out of three of all freight hauled throughout the United States and that the mining industry was carrying the burden of $7OO,OOO,0O0 in taxation or one third of the total corporation income tax paid into the treasury and to assess this enormous amount, law had been passed by the politicians, limiting the salaries of these assessors to $4,00O per. year thus showing the absurdity of expecting the necessary experience and ability for this excessive tax at the maximum salary of $4,000. He also advocated throwing open all min eral lands for prospecting so long as the prospector for any kind of mineral spent his money in good faith, illus trating the necessity by showing how large acreages were held by indivi- duals and corporations in various min ing states who simply said, Hands off, this is our ground" thus, retarding de- velopment, production and the expen- allure and circulation of. a large amount of capital. That for the i'm provements of these conditions a new mineral law must be passed which would eliminate the necessity for the discovery of mineral at surface and thus permitting all ground to be pros pected independently and to be open to prospecting so long as money was spent in good faith for that purpose.
 MT. Winchel was very happy in his discussion of the activities of the var ious committees that had been ap- pointed under his regime to serve at their own expense, not only in the in terests of mining and economic legis- lation at Washington but also for re- construction in Europe, some of these members not only giving of their time, but spending personally, even

World Starves for Silver
AMERICAN AND MEXICAN OWNERS OF MINES FACE PROSPEROUS FUTURE-ORIENTS AND
 EUROPES DEMANDS ARE ENORMOUS

the great markets for Western silver. Formerly silver for the Orient was purchased through London. Since the war much of the supply has been pur- chased for China and India in New York. These markets are today not to be satisfied, prepared in their growing trade to absorb all the new silver that can be possibly be pro- duced An Indian and Chinese ex- ,porters are continuing to pile up bal ances owing them with the merchants of the Occident. 4
 Furthermore Europe's unbacked bil- lions of paper money issues must be validated if exchanges are to be re- stored to anything like normal, if con- ffdence is to be restored and enter prise is to begin the task of meeting the wars debts and losses. Not enough silver can be produced in years to validate these unsubstantial paper notes. There is not enough silver available to meet the urgent present demand of the nations for coinage into small change"
 As the price of silver advances, as the Orient in full flush of it's new trade continues to bid the price of the metal up, it has become profitable in most countries to cast the minted silver into the melting pot and sell the coins as bullion. One financial authority puts it that "it is no longer possible for any of the worlds nations to buy silver for coinage, except the United States, unless they debase their standard coins, instituting new system in which the coins will contain so little of the white metal that it will not be profitable to melt them" |"
 Thus the future is bright with cer- tain and unusual profits to the owners of Americans silver mines, whose out puts must for several years find starved markets and consequent high prices. How high the price will go no one can predict.

 SERVICE MEN

Nearly one-third of the former ser. vice men who were insured by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance can not be reached by mail at their old home addresses, as shown by the let ters returned to the Bureau as unde- liverable. This fact shows the state of transition following demobilization of our forces. The problem confront ing the Bureau is to find these men and bring home to them the impor- tance of insurance reinstatement, as many soldiers upon discharge from the service, dropped their Insurance:

Much headway in this direction will be made by the repre- sentative committee appointed by MT. Winchel and to be supplanted by MT.

 Thirty billions of unbacked paper money issues and an Oriental trade growing by leaps and bounds are fea- lures in the present situation that promise untold wealth in the years to come for the American and Mexican owners of silver mines. Silver must be found to back almost unlimited quantities of Europe's paper money. Silver must be found wherewith to pay China and India for a trade bai- ance swollen greatly in volume and made up of greatly increased units of value.
 Growing urgencies in the worlds demand for silver are bound to realize the most daring dreams of profit ever entertained by Americas silver min es. The United States and Mexico supply nearly three-quarters of the worlds entire yearly production of this metal. Mexican silver mining centers in the districts of Guanajuato, Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi. New ada, Idaho, Colorado and Montana are the silver producing states of the Uni ted States. It is from these sources that the world must draw the greater part of its supplies of the white metal through the coming years.
 There is not nearly enough silver in existence today to meet the worlds needs. Even should the price of sil- yer advance until it sold at $10 an ounce, all the metal in the vaults of the worlds banks and treasuries and in the hands of the silver-smiths would be insufficient to validate the unbacked paper issues, "money" to- day practically valueless in the field of international trade and depreciat- ing rapidly in the countries of issue. Meanwhile the Orient, selling more than in former years at larger per unit prices, demands an almost unlim- ited stream of silver. st' China and India have always been

DIAMOND JOE ORE TREATEDBYFLOTAT|ON

A test run last week of Diamond Joe ore through the Arizona Molyb- denum mill showed an S29o extraction and resulted in tons of 300 ounce concentrates. The K K Flotation sys- tenn is being used with a special so- lution, recently tried out by E. c. Bradshaw, which has given excellent results. The solution is ground into the ore in the ball mill.
 The 50 ton mill of the Arizona Molybdenum Company is being used by MT. Bradshaw to handle the Dia- mond Joe Company's ore to deter. mine the kind of a mill they want and while awaiting the construction of new mill on the Diamond Joe property. In about six months the Diamond Joe Company expects to in stall a new mill.
 There is about 5000 tons of ore on the dump which runs, according to a recent sampling, 21 ounces in silver. To open up new ore, a 900 foot tun- nel will be run in from the Diamond Joe Canyon, to tap the property 600 feet below the workings, which are now down 300 feet.
 The ore is being packed at this time a part of the way and hauled the rest of the way in truck from the Dia- mond Joe mine to the Arizona Molyb- denum mill. A road will be complet- ed as, soon as winter breaks which will permit the entire distance to be negotiated with truck and save the double handling of the ore. A 1 1-2 ton truck and ton truck will then he nut on.

Of the quaint marriage customs still surviving in old English and Scottish families one concerns the Dukes of Atholl and their heirs. The duke always carries his bride across the threshold of Blair castle, it being in accord with an ancient tradition that it is unlucky for bride to enter in the customary way.

REPORT OF OFFICERS SHOW MOSSBACk MINE
 IN GOOD CONDITION

The annual meeting of the Stock holders of the Arizona Mossback Mines Company, was held at the Min es on Monday last; reports of the of ficers were received and filed, but in as much as the larger Eastern stock holders of the Company could not be present, the election of officers to serve for the ensuing year was con tinued until March 15th., at which time the further work of the Stock holders meeting will be taken up.
 The reports of the officers showed the Company to be in excellent con- dition; the work of the past year, which has been wholly developing work has been most satisfactory, and has resulted in the uncovering of one of the largest lodges of commercial ore to be found anywhere in the west. The mine is developed to the 700 foot depth, with drifts and cross cuts at the 12O it., 200 it., 300 it., 400 it., 500 it., and 700 it. levels. At the 400 it. level the crosscut on the ore body was run 253 feet across the ledge matter, and the walls on either side were not encountered; at the 700 it level the crosscut is now in $50 it., across ledge matter, much of it quartz carrying good grade of ores, and as yet no sign of walls. This re- markable development has occasion ed surprise and wonder among mining men all over the west, and the mine has been visited by many of the best engineers and mining men of the United States to see what they have all united in saying was "phenom- inal ore deposit". Work will be pro- ceeded with on the 700 it. crosscut until walls are reached or ledge mat ter disappears. This Company has been in operation on this property since April, 1918, and has not missed a day with from two to three shifts work, except for the brief period of the strike last falk there has been expended upon the property in actual development work; by the present Company about $150,000. It is es- timated there is in sight today about 8O0,000 tons of ore, which will av- craze. around $10 per ton. With the completion of the crosscut at the 700 it. level, the mine is to be sampled sfrom top to bottom, and mill pro- vided with an equipment adequate for the ores and values determined by the sampling to exist; it is expected that a plant of 300 tons daily capa- city will be demanded and installed; this will be decided upon at the meet ing to be held in March next.
 Following the Stockholders meet ing, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors met, and accepted the resignation of Charles w. Maier as President of the Company, and elected in his stead Director Jess w. Speidel. MT. Speidel is a prominent financier of Wheeling, West Virginia, and has recently purchased the mag nificent home of Gillette, the razor king, at Beverly Hills, California, and will remove there with his family, and therefore be in position to give his individual attention to the affairs of the Arizona Mossback Mine.
 It is expected that the year 1920 will see the Arizona Mossback Mine in the list of big producers at Oatman.
