MINING MEN FLOCK To
THE PARKER COUNTRY
Many Properties viii Be Re-
opened the Coming Season.
PrOSpectors Are Active

PARKER, Ariz., Sept 13.-Mining
men are beginning to arrive for the
season in the Parker country, and the
advence guard of hard rock miners is
fiocking in. From all dndications the
coming season will be a busy one.
Numerous companies will work on a
large scale, and others owning claims
in the districts surrounding Parker are
preparing to do their annual assess
ment work.
Ed. S. Osborn, general manager of
the w, and o. mines, is here, and will
Immediately resume work. The Con-
solidation company will also be in act
i've operation sometime before Septem-
Der 10. This company has recently
been financed permitting operations on
a more extensive basis than ever before
In its history.
The Planet mine, it is understood,
will resume work underground within
the next couple of weeks. A contract
Will be let for large amount of drift
ing on the 600-foot level in the direc-
ton Of the ore bodies encountered by
churn drill operations during the past
few months. Drill holes are still being
put down on the Planet and some ex-
ceptionally high-grade ore has been en-
countered.
The road leading to the mine is now
being improved, and this has given rise
to a report that shipments to the Swan
sea smelter will be made soon.
START NEW WORK
General Manager Martin of the Ray
pinco company visited the companys
mines in the Riverside mountains re-
Gently, and will return in few days to
start active work. Word has been re-
ceived from c. A. Moody, president and
general manager of the Avivatal Mines
company that work on this promising
Riverside property will be initiated
about the first of the month. Mr.. Moody
is expected to arrive In Parker from
the east any day. The Steece Copper
company, also owning valuable ground
in the Riverside district, will start work
in O short time. These three compa
MES are the largest operators in the
Riversides, and after they get under
way about 100 men will be employed in
that district,
The Turtle mountains will witness
more activity the coming season than
ever before. The completion of the
Parker cutoff makes it possible to carry
on developments in this section under
more favorable conditions than former
ly. Recent developments on the Swee-
ney and Horn properties in the Turtles
indicate that the district has a great
future. This section offers great in
ducements to the prospector. It
abounds in rich float and has promising
indications of becoming a great mining
district.
Copper Basin will also come in for
large share of exploration work the
coming year. Numerous parties owning
valuable ground in this section are pre-
pairing for active operations. A number
of new strikes will undoubtedly be
made in the Copper Basin section with
in the next few months.
Altogether, the mining situation in
the Parker country promises to be more
active this year than ever before in Its
history.

BLACK BEAR MINE WILL
SOON RESUME OPERATIONS

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. 1S.-The
Black Bear mine in the Rough and
Ready district will soon resume oper-
ations. ]. H. English, who was su-
perintendent of the property, has re-
turned from Sacramento and an
nounces that a meeting of the stock
holders in the property will be held
next Monday, when arrangements will
be made to reopen the mine.
At the time the mine was closed
down the developments looked good,
but litigation between stockholders en-
sued and for that reason work was
suspended. The troubles between the
stockholders have been amicably set
tied and Mr.. English has been in
structed to make preparations for re-
opening the mine.
The mine is operated through tun-
mel 700 feet long, at the end of which
is a shaft 300 feet deep. New and
larger pumps will be installed and
sinking will be resumed when opera
tions start.

The Sign

When you put sign on your
property it attracts more at
tention to itself than to the
house you desire to sell.
If the property is a residence
and your object is to convince
prospective buyer OF the Sc
lect character of the neighbor-
hood, a sign certainly would
not be good taste.
On some kinds of property,
such as a vacant lot or tutn-
ble-down empty house near an
abandoned coal mine, a sign
would not detract. from the
value of the land.
But it would not bring
buyer out to see it. Something
else is required to let the buyer
know where your property is
located.

BANNER GROUP SHIPS
TO NEEDLES SHELTER
Stockton Hill Mine Sends Out
Heavy Zinc 0re-S20,000
from Gold Road

KINGMAN, Sept. 1s.-Ore shipments
the now being made from the Banner
group of mines at Stockton Hill to the
Needles smelter. 1t is understood that
hereafter regular shipments will be
made from this property, and especially
the heavy lead product Later the
zinc ores will be shipped to the clean
ing plant and a separation made be-
tween the lead and zinc content.
A. r. Muter is here from a trip to
the old placers in Chemehuevis valley,
where he made an examination of the
ground and will report to probable In
vestorS on the value and extent of the
gold-bearlng ground. The old placers
have been worked intermittently for
more than forty years and as yet the
ground has not been drained Of very
much of its values, only the eroded
material having been worked over.
Newton Evans, who has been work.
ing on the big McCracken deal the
past year, is of the opinion that the
McCracken deal will go through and
that within the next six months
large force Of men will be at work on
the property. It is also the intention
of the company to build a railroad
from the main line of the Santa Fe to
a connection with the Swansea road
and handle all the ores of the Nc
Cracken over that line.
SHIPS $4,000 BULLION
Wednesday last Deputy Sheriff ]. P.
Gideon went to Little Meadows and
met the bullion wagon from the gold
Road mill, and brought back with him
$4,000 in gold bullion. This was
cleanup of seven days run of the plant,
the last shipment having been brought
in Tuesday of last week, amounting to
$4,000. The mine Is said to be In fine
shape and reserves are being added to
every day. The mine is now capable
of delivering to the mill nearly 800 tons
of clean ore daily.
Roy Wills was in Kingman several
days getting supplies or his camp near
the Big Sandy. He is the owner of
copper mines in Aubrey district that
carry good values in gold, silver and
copper Samples brought to Kingman
gave results of about $50 in gold and
silver and as high as IS per cent cop
per. He says that the vein Is about
two feet wide and the ore streak runs
from eighteen inches to the full width
Of the vein. He intends to sink fifty
foot shaft on the vein at once and be-
lieves that he will be able to ship this
ore to the smelter at profit.
Leonard Hoffman, superintendent of
the Chloride Gold Mines company, is
at Chloride looking after matters con-
nected with the starting of the big
tunnel scheme that is to tap the Sa-
moan, Lucky Boy and many other
mines at a great depth. The tunnel
is to be about 1900 feet in length and
will be double tracked. BY the run
ming of this tunnel the mines will be
made accessible by wagon and at the
same time the mining will be brought
down to a minimum of cost.

MANGANESE FOUND
IN UNITED STATES
Mineral Occurs Principally in Ok
ide or Carbonate, Not Me-
taIIiC State
SILICATE CUT FOR JEWELRY
Deposits of Rich Metal Exist in
Sufficient Quantities for
Many Purposes
SILICATE CUT FOR JEWELR>
Especial to The Heraid)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13,-Manga-
nese, one of the elementary metals, was
long considered a kind of iron. Pliny
regarded 1t as a variety of lodestone,
or magnetic iron, and it was not iden-
titled as a distinct metal until late in
the eighteenth century. The ancient
judgment is somewhat justified by the
modern classification of manganese
among the elements of the iron group,
which includes iron, manganese, cobalt
and nickel.
Manganese is not found naturally in
the metallic state, but occurs principal
1y as an oxide, silicate or carbonate.
Rhodonite, a beautiful pink manganese
silicate, is cut for jewels, and the pur-
pie of the amethyst is supposed to be
due to the presence of manganese.
Minerals containing manganese are
widespread, but few are available for
use as ores, for most of them contain
only small percentages of the metal.
The oxides psilomelane and pyrolusite
are the principal ores.
USES OF MANGANESE
Pyrolusite, which contains about 60
per cent of manganese, was used by
the ancient Egyptians in decoloring
glass-that is, in making it clear or
transparent-for the addition of this
mineral to glass sand neutralizes or in
some way counteracts the effect of iron.
which gives to glass green or other un-
desired colorS. Pyrolustte is still used
for this purpose, but ores or alloys of
manganese are now more largely used
in making alloys with iron, steel, cop
per, aluminium and other metals, in
making chlorine, bromine and oxygen,
and as a disinfectant, as we'll as in gal
vanic batteries and in bleaching, dying
and painting.
Spiegleisen (mirror iron), so called
from its brilliantly glittering surface,
and ferromanganese, both alloys of iron
and manganese, are prepared chiefly for
use in metallurgy, especially in steel
making. Some manganese steel is so
hard that 1t is almost impossible to
work 1t with machines or tools, so that
1t must be cast in very nearly the form
desired for use.
REPORT BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
The important and numerous uses of
the metal, or Of its ores, give practical
interest to the many deposits of manga
nese ores in this country, which are
described in detail in a report by E. c.
Harder, just published by the United
States geological survey as bulletin APT.
This bulletin, which Is entitled MAN
gapese deposits in the United States,
with sections on foreign deposits, chem
istry and uses" may be obtained with
out charge by applying to the director
of the survey at Washington.
The bulletin is illustrated by several
maps and many geologic sections, con-
tains a chapter on the production of
manganese ores in the United States
giving quantities produced by years
and by states, prices and imports, and
concludes with q list of books and pa
pers on manganese.

The Agent

One of the best ways to sell a
house is through an agent.
An agent works hard for his
commission; he must first find
a buyer who is interested in
the kind of property you have;
then he may spend weeks try
ing to convince the man that
he should buy.
Often he does not sell the
house. so all his work is done
without pay. He has spent his
time, but you have spent moth
ing.
You should always employ
an agent, however, because his
experience gives him a degree
of skill in closing deals that is
worth all that he earns in the
way of commissions.

Three Ways to Sell a House
The Want Ad

A sign is seen only by those
who chance to pass the prop
erty. An agent goes to men
who have never seen the prop
erty and thus brings it to the
attention of a greater number
of people.
But a want ad reaches the
entire city.
1t supplements the work of
the agent-it does not replace
him.
Where the agent sees only
a dozen men who are interested
in your property, the want ad
reaches hundreds.
Send in your ad without de-
lay-some one may even now
be looking for the property you
have for sale. The ad will be
almost sure 20 reach him. Try
it, anyhow-the cost is small.
