AGRICULTURAL BOUNTY.
Mr. Cannon (Sil. Rep. UIsh.) intro
duced ar amendment for bounty on ag-
ricultural exports and spoke briefly. He
said the pending bill. without any pro-
lection to the farmer, would be a rank
injustice. and would be a violation of the

Mohave County miner., 1897-04-03

In many parts of Arizona the failure of mining and milling com panies is directly traceable to the insuficiency of their plants. In many cases five or ten stamp mills have been put in where the grade of ore required plants of sixty to one hundred stamps to yield a profit. In this century, where sci ence has made the milling of ore an automatic process, it costs near ly as much to run ten stamps as one hundred stamps. Mohave coun- ty requires the erection of reduction works of great capacity to work the many low grade properties scattered throughout her mountains.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press is thankful that the senate of the fifty-fourth congress has passed away. It charges that it was com posed of the most incompetent ard mischievous set of men that ever held place in that body in the his tory of the government. The loy- alty of the senate to silver is one of the offenses in the Press category of crimes.

SAVE MONEY BY USING
"DANIEL BEST" CRUDE OIL ENGINE

This Engine can be operated on either Crude Oil, Distillate, Gasoline or Kerosene. It is the cheapest power on earth and is not tied to any one kind of Oil, but can use any kind that will make gas and is not handicap ped by being compelled to use a certain oil. Do not forget this when in need of an Engine.
 We guarar tee our Engines to work perfectly on California Crude Oil, or Distillate, or any of her kind of gaseous Oil we however prefer CALIFORNIA CRUDE OIL from COalings, Fresno county. for the reason that gas from Crude Oil will produce more power from the number of feet of gas used than from any other oil, and it is also a natural lubricant as well, the valves being always fabricated sufficiently to prevent them from sticking, thus assuring greater dura bility of the working parts than 1t otherwise would be in using dry gas. And an other advantage we claim is, that danger from explosions is reduced to minimum, there be- ing no accumulation of gas, but is used by the Engine as fast as 1t is generated and hence IS absolutely safe. The following is test that we made with one of our Five Horse Power Crude Oil Engires running ten hours on the different gas Oils
 Cal Crude Oil 40 gray, 711 gals. at 5c. 5 .3711 Distillate, 40 gray. 712 gals. at &c.,, .6G Dom. Coal Oil 40 gray. 715 gals. at 1211ac .9sA Gasoline "A gray. SM gals. at 15c 1.31H City Gas 1000 feet, 2.
 We manufacture all sizes from two-hOrse power up, and will guarantee that our Engines will run cheaper and are more simple in con- structiOn, have fewer parts and hence are more durable than any other Gas Engine on the market. Seeing is believing; don't take our word for it, but come and investigate for yourselves You can always see one in opera tiOn at our works. We will be pleased to see you and will at all times take pleasure in showing them up. Our engines are especially chinery-in fact, for any kind of power oe- sired. We are the pioneers and first inventors of Crude Oil and Distillate Engines. We al- ways lead and never follow. Send for Cata- logue and Price List of the only genuine Crude Oil and Distillate Engine made.

A suit to test the law governing the collection of personal property tax has been instituted in Phenix. There is little doubt that the law is defective in that it fails to give the property owner the right to appear before the board of equali- zation in his own behalf and that the property is not equalized.

A farmer was arrested near Phe- nix this week for cutting mesquite on his land and selling it for fire wood. The wood had to be cut off in clearing up the ranch for agri- cultural purposes. The arrest was made at the instance of the land department of the government.

The new tariff bill affects the products of Mohave county as fol- lows. Copper, (now on the free list) will pay duty of one cent a pound ; duty on lead ores is to be increased from one to two cents; on lead sheets, pipe or other manu- factured product, from one one quarter to two one-half cents. This will possibly increase the price of lead, but the increased production will soon settle it back to about three cents per pound in the mar ket.
