Largest open pit copper mine in the world at Santa Rita, New Mexico. Copper was discovered here by an officer of the Spanish army in 1800 who sold the same to a wealthy Spanish merchant. Pure native copper was transported by pack mule to Mexico City to enter the royal mint for coinage. In 1900 a young mining engineer became interested in the development and was instrumental in the ultimate success of the Chino Copper Company. The ore is now shipped to Hurley, a short distance to the south, where it is put through a five million dollar smelter

Slogan for a production army. 2. The simple truth animates the above rough sketch of a sticker, another of those suggested by the War Production Board (WPB) in connection with the war production drive. Because every machine and every man engaged in turning out the weapons of war is "in action" as surely as though machine and man were in the frontline. Idea is for the promotion soldier to paste the sticker on his machine or on his tools as a reminder

Soldiers inspecting new trackless tank during demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia. Tank was manufactured by the Trackless Tank Corporation of New York, and submitted to the Ordnance Department, U.S. Army, for inspection. Preliminary tests indicate that the tank may be adaptable for reconnaissance purposes, possibly replacing scout cars. Tank weighs 10 tons. During initial, brief tests at Fort Knox, Kentucky, it made 45 miles an hour across rough country, with a 37 mm gun and two machine guns mounted in its turret; its designer says it can travel 85 mph on level ground. It is powered by a 250 horsepower diesel engine, and carries 1/2-inch armor. Tentative plans of the Army call for a redesign of the superstructure for better arming of the tank
