Mohave County miner., 1907-10-19

Owing to the washing out of the wa ter line from Little Meadows to Gold road and the inability to get oil over the road, the Gold Road company sus- pended the operation of the big mill Wednesday last. It is expected that before starting up again many changes will be made in the plant and it will be modernized and electrized. An inn mense electric compressor has been ordered for the mine and other neces- sary electric machinery was ordered some months ago. It is believed that great stamp mill will take the place of the present crushers and hunting tons. Gravity filters will take the place of the present pressure filters and better and more economical work will be obtained. To put the pulp in proper shape big tube mill will be installed, which will handle two hun dred or more tons of ore daily, the en- tire plant to have treatment capacity of more than 300 tons every twenty four hours. The company is financi- ally able to carry out the contemplated changes and reforms in the mill and mines and when rehabilitated the property will be on a more economical basis than any gold property in the territory of Arizona.

Charles Sutro and J. F. Littlefield arrived from San Francisco last Tues day and departed the following day to the Pyramid mill and mines, where they made an examination of the Catherine and other properties. They were accompanied by w. c. Howard, general manager of the mines and re- turned to Kingman yesterday. They have concluded to stop work on the properties for the present to arrange for the installation of heavier machin- cry, which is to be operated electric ally. The mines are among the larg- est gold properties of the county. Messrs. Sutro and Littlefield departed to their homes last evening. Mr. Hofer, who has been superintendent of the property the past two years, will probably go to Mexico during the winter.

H. M. Bowen and number of the shareholders of the Arizona Silver Lead mining company arrived from Los Angeles yesterday morning. They will go out to the P. K. mines, in IXL Basin today to make an exami- nation of the property with view to working it on an extensive scale. The mines show big bodies of lead-silver ores, which have been opened to water level, below which point little work has been done, although the present work contemplates the sinking of the shaft to depth of several hundred feet. Sinking is now in progress and the ore found in the bottom is far bet, ter than that in the crosscut and older workings above.

ANCIENT BOWS.
That of the Seythians Was In the Form
Of the Letter c.

That OF the Scythians Was In the Form
Of the Le*ter G.
While universally used by the an
cients, the form of the bow varied with
different nations. The Scythian bow
was IN the farm of the letter G, and
the bow of tha Tartars, descendants Of
the ScythiansB still keeps that shape.
The Greek bow was not more than
three or fous feet In length, but SO
stout and stlE that it required consid-
erable strength and skill to use 1t. 1t
b said that tie first Greek bows were
made from tie horns of species Of
goat, the bases being united by means
of a metallic band. Afterward other
material was used In their manufac-
ure, but they still retained their orig
NAL shape. These bows were too
short to be Of much use, and, compare
lively speaking, but small portion Of
The troops were armed with them.
The Romans carried the bow to Brit
gin, where 1t at once obtained favor
and during the middle ages was ex-
tensively used, forming an important
element of the armies Of that period.
The English archers were said to be
the finest In the world, and their skill
decided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers
and Agincourt The bows used were
Of two kinds-the long bow and the
arbalest, or crossbow. The arbalest
was made Of steel or horn and was Of
such strength and stiffness that it was
necessary to use some mechanical ap-
pliance to bend it and adjust the
string. The arbalestiers carried a
culver with fifty arrows and were
placed In the van of the battle.

REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE
MOSQUITO.

MOSQUITO.
There is one piece of work to be
credited to the Republican government
in this state the value of which car
well be estimated in the millions, and
yet no reference has been made to II
by any Republican newspaper or cam
paign speaker We refer to the virtual
extirpation of the mosquito pest, SO
long the most serious handicap on the
states property.
1t has been estimated that the pest
represented an actual depreciation of
property values in the state of about
10 per cent of the assessed valuation
that is to say that if there were ne
mosquito pest in New Jersey the state
would be more than $100,Ou0,000 richer
in its property.
The Republican Legislature took uI
the mosquito question and authorized
total expenditure of $4,000. The
policy once adopted, the state set t.
work, got the municipalities to cooper
ate and astonishing progress wal
made. Many sections once infested
%ith mosquitoes are now almost en-
tirely free from them. and with pros
ecution of the work for two or three
years New Jersey will be forever rio
of its curse.

tries to cross, no matter how many
vehicles and cars may be moving down
on him from every direction. He seems
to expect traffic to stand still for him.
Because it doesn't he seems really sur

NAY! NAY! SAYS A
JAPANESE ENVOY

According to the japanese papers,
Mr.. Kurino, the Japanese Ambassador
at Paris, has made a statement to a
representative of LIE Matin, in which
he declared that no anxiety need be
entertained with regard to the trouble
between Japan and America The Am.
bassador went on to say that nothing
could be more ridiculous than the
rumors to the effect that Japan longs
to possess Hawaii. The Hawaiian is.
lands, Mr.. Kurino pointed out, are
about 5000 ri distant from Japan, and
the occupation of territory so far away
could only have the result of seriously
weakening the Empire. Mr.. Kurino
also characterized as foolish the stories
OF an intention upon the part of Japan
to obtain the Philippines. The climate
of those islands, the Ambassador re-
marked, is very unfavorable for the
Japanese. No Japanese Consul, in
fact, has ever stayed at Manila for
longer than two years.

that they will not raise sugar beets

of five-dollar fiat rate for their
products. The growers object to SLIDING
beets in the field, for which the factory
pays an extra half dollar, as in tie
process Of SLIDING the beets shrink con-
siderably. The farmers say if the beets
are sliced by them it must be done at
the factory after they receive the price
for the beets as they are gathered. The
farmers of Eaton and Windsor dis
tricts will follow the lead of the Gree
ley farmers, and the sugar trust may
be forced to close it's factories by the
