Mohave County miner., 1909-01-16

O. F. Kuencer, general manager of the Golden Star mining company, ar rived from Los Angeles last Monday and departed to Cerbat the same day.
 Mike Coleman was exhibiting a nice specimen of copper ore on the streets of Kingman, few days ago, which he stated had come from recent find in the Union Pass country.
 w. B. Ridenour is applying for a patent to Sunshine and Sunshine No. , lodes and Sunshine mill site, near Blackberry. The claims are contigu- ous to the old Blackberry South mine and cover the old Blackberry lode, which in years gone by was one of the big producers of silver of this county.
 L. Hoffman, general manager of the Arizona Southwestern Copper com pany, reports the big pump at work in the shaft of the Siamese doing excel lent work. A big body of water has been encountered Tn the property, but it is easily handled. The work of sink ing is now under way and good pro- gress is being made.
 w. J. Davis and James A. Grain, of San Diego, have been in Kingman the past week getting things in shape for the taking over of the Cruz mine, in the Cedar Valley district. It is under stood that as soon as matters have been properly adjusted they will be- gin active development of the mines.
 The work of quarrying ore at the Bi-Metal mine, of the Arizona Gold Mines company, is showing up splen- did ore. The heavy blasts at the mine can be heard in Kingman night and day. It is understood that the work will be carried on with steam drills in the near future.
 John Labaree and G. NJ. Goheen, of Seattle, Washington, have been look ing over the mining property of the Expansion Gold Mining company, in the Union Pass section, in which they are largely interested. It is under stood that they have concluded 10 erect a milling plant on the property and work will soon be commenced on the grade. The mines show great veins of gold bearing ore and have been opened to considerable depth by shaft and tunnel.
 The new mill and boiler of the Tom Reed company has been hauled out to the property and the work of getting it in place is under way. When com pleted the company will have one of the most uptOdate plants in this part of the territory. It is expected that the new mill will effect a better say Ing of values than the old and that the | lower grades of ore can be handled through it at a profit. The mine has great bodies of orc ranging from ten dollars to twenty dollars in gold values to the ton and it is expected the larger mill will be able to handle these ores proftably and economically. The holster will be operated by steam, as will the mine pumps.

D. $. Richard, of the Victor Gold mining company, was in Kingman a day or two this week.
 A miner in from the Red Gap mines reports that property showing up won derful values in gold and that every foot advanced in the shaft accentuates the great possibilities of the property.
 E. B. Van Deman has a force of men at work on the mining properties ol Barney Mccall, over in Weaver dis trict, finishing up the assessment work for the year 1908. It is probable con- siderable work will be done on the mines this year.
 Attorney w. E. Ginder visited the Cedar country this week Tn the inter est of some of his clients. He says that the mineral resources of that sec ton are unsurpassed by any other sec tion of the territory.
 Henry Lovin came in from the Tom Reed camp a few days ago. He re- ports that section of san Francisco dis trict very lively and that considerable prospecting was going on through the distant parts of the district. At the Tom Reed mines the force of miners, carpenters and mechanics was being added to daily and the work on the new plant going steadily ahead.

A Be. That pia..

DR.. John B. Smith gives the name Of
digger bee'' to blue green bee hav-
ing metallic sheen. which may he
seen fitting about sandy places during
the first heats Of May. With the aid Of
liquid plaster Of paris poured into the
holes that 1t makes in the ground he
has followed the bee through a won
derful course Of digging. The work is
done by females. and its primary oh.
ject is to provide protected cells in
which the young are bred. The bee
makes tunnel quarter of an inch in
diameter, which after starting for a
few inches on slope runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth of
q foot or more short lateral tunnels are
driven. and at the ends Of these are
formed the breeding cells. Having pro-
vided for her young. the bee ''contin.
ues to dig down and yet farther down
until she Is four feet or even more be-
meath the surface, dying from sheer
exhaustion about the time her first
progeny begin to make their way to
the surface."-Loudon Mail.

Daniel and the Lions.

An old negro preacher in Kentucky
was dilating upon events in the Bible
which had geological trend. He de.

the incident Of Jonah and the whale,
Balaam's ass and finally the exploit Of
Daniel, who entered the den Of raven.

auditors listened with interest, and
some Of them seemed to have their
doubts as to the authenticity Of the
tales.
Finally one Of the younger negroes
rose up and inquired. "Say, pahson,

Carl F. Rakow Of Wheatland,
who was delegate to the Nation
al convention of the Society of
Equity held in Indianapolis, No
vember is, made most interest
ing address to the convention on
the necessity Of protection for the
wheat grower. He exposed fully
the evils of the drawback provis-
ions of the tariff law as they re-
late to wheat, and his remarks were
wei! received by the convention.
Mr.. Rakow adduced figures to
show that there was the least nee
essity for the northwestern millers
to grind Canadian wheat. In the
crop year of 1907 the three spring
wheat states raised ISIS, 100000
bushels of wheat. the flour mills
in the three states ground into
-four only 120, 057, 1895 bushels. thus
leaving surplus of wheat for
export after making allowance for
seed purposes.
On his return home. Mr.. Krakow
stopped over a day in Minneapolis
and had a most interesting dis
cussion with the president and
secretary of one of the largest
milling companies in the country.
He presented the farmers side of
the question of the treatment of
the wheat shippers to the Mime
sofa terminals. The cost of pro-
duction was so ably handled by him
that the miller was forced to admit
that the farmer is entitled to
figure his costs just the same as
any manufacturer. that he was en-
titled to a fair profit over and
above the cost of production.
The proposition is certainly fair I;
the farmer should reap a fair profit
over and above costs, as we'll as
the city man. and when he can
do this he will live in as fine a
house with all Of the modern i'm
provements as the city man, have
the grounds in front of his home
kept in good order. and will have
the good roads so much desired by
everybody.
All these things will come to
pass, said Mr.. Krakow, when the
farmer takes charge Of his own
business and runs it for profit,
just the same as any business man
in any other line.
The Society of Equity has ar
exchange of it's own in Mime
apolis and the members are sup.
posed to ship their grain there. al
the exchange pays into the De-
partment of Grain Growers of the
Society $3.50 for each car il
handles. If enough cars were
shipped by the members. it would
give the society plenty Of none!

He is thoroughly earnest in hi
work. and today he stands heat

leaders of the society in this state

done. but also in the results &C

The man was at least six feet tall,
and his sunburned arms. projecting
from the short sleeves Of his faded
blue shirt. were large and muscular,
fully in proportion to his other i'm.
pressive dimensions. The muscles of
his forearms ran down to his wrists
like steel bands. and his shoulders
seemed ever SO slightly bent owing
to the muscular development that
caused his shoulder blades to project.
His very movements bespoke his great
power. but the expression in his face,
In his eyes and the dropping lower
jaw were evidences to the keen OBJ
server that the newcomer was not par
ticularly ambitious. And his clothes
confirmed this statement. Not only
were they cheap and worn-that would
have been to no mans advantage-but
the knees Of his trousers needed patch
Ing and brushing. and, furthermore,
his ragged. uncut hair gave him gen.
eral appearance Of unkemptness. Like
practically all Of the mountaineers and
woodsmen of the vicinity. he wore no
shoes. and years of barefoot exist

Seventeen Year Locusts.

The seventeen year locusts are some
times called Pharaoh's iocusts because
they make sound that resembles the
repeating over and over Of that historic
name. The notes or songs are not what
might be termed vocal. as they are pro.
duced by the rapid vibrations of two
very thin films that cover small cav.
ity at the base OF the abdomen. In
some localities the sound produced is
somewhat different from that beard in
other sections Along streams. espe.
cially along the Ohio river. the notes
are more bass, while on the highlands
and especially in the mountain regions
the sounds produced are more shrill.-
