MIAMI BETTER OFF
 THAN MOST CAMPS

About 15O men have been laid off to date at the Inspiration mine, in line with the general policy of curtailment of production adopted by the large producing copper companies. It is stated that no further important re- auctions of forces are contemplated in the immediate future at the mine The policy of the company has been not to lay off men with families, or Americans, where avoidable.
 Exact figures for the number of men laid off at the Miami mine are thought to be considerably below those of the Inspiration. However one unit of the Miami mill has been shut down involving the laying off of nine men.
 In comparison with other mining camps of the state, where heavy re- auctions in working forces have been made at the copper mines and plants, Miami has been particularly forum ate thus far in the small percentage of employees laid off.-Silver Belt.

CLARK EXPECTS
 lS-CENT COPPER

A slight curtailment of operation here, no further curtailment at Clark dale, but no shutdown is outlined as the program of the United Verde Cop per Company by Charles w. Clark, general manager. He declared that he expected to see improvement in general conditions early next year and that by April or May the country will be back near normal.
 The United Verde has approximate ly 60 per cent as many men as at the peak of war production and the pro duction is about 40 per cent as much copper.
 Copper should go to IS cents and remain there under normal conditions according to MT. Clark.
 "Ten months ago deal was on foot to ship large quantities of copper to Germany" he said. Negotiations progressed smoothly until it came to a question of financing the deal. Technically we were-we are still-at war with Germany. Had the deal been put through, the copper industry of the United States would be on far better basis than it is today"

RAILROADS HANDLING
 AN ENORMOUS TONNAGE

That the railroads of the country went back to the private owners with greater capacity for the handling of freight is evidenced by the report of the railroad commission, which was issued last week. The report shows that in the month of August more than 14,OOO,OOO,OOO mile tons of freight was handled and the month of October showed the carriage of an equally large amount, theg reatest in the history of railroading in this country. The fact that the recon struction of the railroads has hardly begun is the evidence that the gov ernment passed the roads back in this most enviable condition. People have been prone to criticise the carriers for lack of diligence in the moving of freight, but when they take into con sideration the vast business that is be- ing done few will fail to realize that they are doing everything that is humanly possible to get the trains over the road and are using every available car to do it with.

ALI AMENDMENTS
 WERE DEFEATED

With only three of the fourteen counties not reporting their official returns on the recent election, it is in dicated that none of the initiative and referendum measures were approved by the voters as a whole, although some counties turned in maiOrities in favor of particular measures. The general attitude of the voters of A. zona indicated thet they preferred tko Legislature to initiate and pass the laws.
 The most important of the measul eS rejected was the so-called county div isiOn measure, whereby any commur- ity having within it's proposed couGtY line $20,000,000 of taxable wealth could take vote and divide from the parent county, providing it had an- other county in order to block out it's proposed empire.
 If passed, the measure would have opened the way for the segregation of all the larger mining camps and the throwing of the burden of self-support upon less favored localities in the present counties. It was proposed by Miami people, who sought to separate from the remainder of Gila County, and was the result of rivalry be- tween Globe and Miami, adjoining mining camps, for the control of the whole of Gila county.
