New York and st. Louis are basing
their claims for the convention on be-

doubtful states. Among other handi-
caps, however, the largest city in the
country has no convention hall suita

York be successful. st. Louis has a
splendid coliseum quite adequate for
the convention and excellent hotel
Accommodations. Baltimore is also we'll
provided for in thoese respects.
The various candidates for the presi-
Dental nomination have not interested
themselves to any great extent in the
selection of convention city, and the
selection of the committee is not eX-
pected to affect the chances of any OF
them. 1t is understood that Gov. Will
son of New Jersey would prefer a wes-
tern city, while the friends of Gov.
Harmon of Ohio seem to prefer Balti-
more or New York.
The committee at it's meeting today
will deal with the question as to
whether resolution shall be passed

vide for a direct vote for delegates to
the convention. The Progressive
Democratic league has asked the com

Death of John Penberthy.

John Penberthy, one of the oldest residents of the county, died at his home in Kingman last Wednesday evening, death being due to papucorra of the bladder. He was recently op- erated on and appeared to be on the high road to recovery, but relapse occasjoned by cold was too much for his weakened condition and he gradu- ally failed until death came.
 Mr.. Penberthy was born in Corn wall, England, nearly 75 years ago and came to this country when young man, engaging ln mining in Michigan and the northern mining states. About the year 1876 he came to Mo- have county and with the late William Richards, John Corin, Joseph Prisk and James Penberthy, purchased the American Flag mine, then but a pros. pect. The company of miners worked the property for years and took from it approximately 400. .000S, the ores be- ing sold in Swansea, Wales, and to the American smelters after the rail road was built into the county. His family joined him in the early eighties and all have become identified with their adopted country.
 At his bedside when death came was his wife, three daughters and a mum Der of grandchildren.
 The funeral was held from the M. E. church. under the justices of the local Order of Moose, of which he was an honorary member. The little church was filled to overhowing with friends and acquaintances and the pro- cession that wended its way to the cemetery was composed of nearly all the inhabitants of the town. Kindly of heart and cheerful of disposition "Monte" Penberthy, as he was con- monly known, will long be remember ed by the people of Mohave county.
 He leaves to mourn his death. a wife, four daughters, one son and a large nun Der of grandchildren.

We are unable to give the line up, but the following ladies con- posed the opposing team: Needles Thelma Seaton. Winnie Greaney. Alma Mansker, Irene Elkins, Edna Shep- pard, Mrs. Frank Connors; Substitutes, Miss Carr, Ethel Nay and Mrs. Arthur. The ladies were under charge of Mrs. Vaughn.
 iLingman lined up as follows-Ei hel and Mabel Grizelle, May and Matte Wilkins, Fannie Lovln and Florence StCharles.
 The game was a hotly contested one, but the Needles won by score of 3 to 9
 It is probable that a return game will be played at Needles.

Mineral Park Notes.

Good progress is being made in the development of the old Metallic Ac- cident mine. This property is now being operated under bond to Ross McCausland, one of the big operators from Mexico, who was forced out of that country by the revolutionists. The mine was one of the richest silver properties the county had in the early days of it's history, but deeper work has indicated the presence of copper in paying quantities.
 H. E. Bierce and associates in the Kingman Copper Mining company is preparing to open boarding house for the accommodation of his men. It is probable that a large force will be worked on the mine now held un- der option.
 Mrs. John Kay reports the sale of her turquoise claims on the south side of Ithica peak, to Mr. Humphreys, of Denver. Mr. Humphreys believes that he will be able to demonstrate the copper bearing character of the ground by churn drills within a short time. The price for which the claims are to be taken over is said to be well up in the thousands.
 John Ellis and Stephen Hinkle have completed the assessment work on the Peck turquoise mine.
 Mining is looking up around the Park and it is the opinion of the know ing ones that this camp will be one of the best in the county within 8 short time. The drilling of the turquolse ground is sure to demonstrate some- thing big.

Could Shout For Joy.

''I want to thank you from the bot tom of my heart," wrote c. B. Rader, of Lewisberg, w. Va., ''for the wonderful double benefit I got from Electric Bitters. in curing me of both a severe case of stomach trouble and of rheumatism, from which I had been an almost helpless sufferer for ten years. It suited by case as though made just for me-" For dyspepsia, indigestion, juandice, and to rid the system of kidney posons that cause rheumatism, Electric Bitters have DO equal. Try them.

A Great Undertaking.

This week, H. E. Bierce and asso- ciates in the Kingman Copper con- pany made contract with w. w.. Gates for the drilling of 5000 feet of ground covered by the mining claims of the Southwestern Turquoise con- pany, the Aztec Turquoise company, the Mrs. John Kay turquoise interests, the McNeely interests, and much of the territory surrounding these prop critics. for the purpose of testing them for copper. These properties have been taken over under option and should they prove copper bearing at depth the company is sure to take them over and work them for that metal. It is well known that the por- phyry country, in which the turquoise mines are situated, is also copper bearing, the softer part of the material carrying fairly good percentage of copper in the form of carbonate. It is expected that when water level is reached the copper will turn to sul- phide, in which condition it will be possible to concentrate it into a mer chantabe product. The territory cov- cred by the porphyry is fully two miles by more than one half mile in extent, out of which run some of the largest veins in the county. The Ithica and Goat peaks are composed of the ma terial, while the veins that run east and west from the main deposit are quartz and carry besides copper some lead. gold and silver.
 Should the company strike the cop per bearing zone it is sure to make of the Park one of the greatest camps in the state. as the mineralized coun. try surrounding it is of immense area. It is understood that the people back of the enterprise were recently forced out of Mexico and that they are in p,- sition to carry on operations on large scale.

Col. Potter is Real Angry.

Gee-whizz, but Col(?) Dell M. Pot ter, of the southern Arizona Clifton to-the-sea route, is mad clear through, all because Los Angeles is not toting far with him and them. In a speech bristling all over with dark and dire threats the doughty Cliftonian de- mands that Los Angeles keep its promises to build a road across the desert from that city to Yuma, whence Potter will lead it gently along the southern border by way of Phenix, on to Globe and thence by the air line to Clifton, up Blue River canyon by pack train to Springerville, where he will intersect the main line to the east. The one dire threat that Potter makes is that he will see that the appropra- tion for a national highway by con- gress will leave out the state of Cali fornia and that the road will end at the Colorado river. If tbis does not get the Los Angeles goat Potter will see that Californians have the privi- lege of bathing in the Pacific ocean taken away from them.

Big Tax Collections.

This week Treasurer Devine received taxes to the amount of more than l00,. 000$. The Santa Fe railroad company and several of the big mining corpor- ations paid their taxes, while a great many of the smaller taxpayers came in with thelr contributions. It is esti- hated that less than l0,000$ will pass to the delinquent roll, and of this seventy five per cent will be collect ed. This shows the healthy con- dition of the county.

Mines of the County

James Uncapher, owner of some of the good mining property of the Mineral Park basin, is in Kingman at tending to business affairs.
 Frank Wilhelm and wife came in from Los Angeles the first of the week. Mir. Wilhelm has gone to the mines in which he is interested, in the Secret Pass section, and Mrs. Wilhelm will remain in town during his absence. He is prepared to do considerable work on the property.
 Kean St. Charles spent last week at the Midnight mine, at Chloride, where he and brother are putting in a con. centrating plant. The Midnight shows big bodies of ore that could be put ln- to marketable shape by concentration and it is the intention of the St. Charles brothers to mill a large daily tonnage of this ore.
 Richard Lloyd, one of the best known mining men of the coast, has been looking over the properties of J. s. Withers and others in the Secret Pass section. Mr. Lloyd was for many years with some of the large mining companies as field engineer and was one of the first men to recognize the possibilities of the Pierce mines, in this state.
 P. McCardell, the we'll known mineral surveyor, is out at Layne Springs, surveying out the Alpha group of mines for patent. This is one of the good groups of mines in this district. The Alpha should have a big plant of machinery on it and shaft several hundred feet below the present level. The mine carries values in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, but it is probable that the copper will be the prevailing metal below the water level.
 O. B. Stanton and family departed to New York last Thursday evening and will open an office in that city sometime this month. Mr.. Stanton takes back with him some of the most desirable mining property in the county and will place it before his clients for their acceptance While here MT. Stanton operated the Orc Plata mine, one of the good gold and silver properties of Wallapai district. While developing the mines important discoveries of zinc were made. some of the bodies running more than two feet in width and carrying better than B per cent metal. It is Mr. Stanton's intention to return to Mohave county sometime after the first of the year.
 Pierre Schon, who is representing the Sauer trucks in thls state, has been looking over the field in north ern Arizona, having visited the Grand Gulch mines, with view of introduc- ing his trucks. The Grand Gulch con- pany will immediately try out one of these big auto cars on the haul from the mine to the Virgin river, whence it will be hauled by team about two miles to the railroad. The haul across the Virgin range will be easy for the trucks, and will effect big saving to the company. The Grand Gulch has about 5000 tons of second grade ore on the dump that will be shipped to the Salt Lake smelters within the next few months. The first grade from the mine will average about 50 per cent copper.

The Hammond AllStar quintet took
another Gary team into camp at the
Emerson school gymnasium floor last
night when they triumphed over the
Gary Electrics and walked away with
the big end of 2s-17 score.
Superior team work and basket
shooting enabled the All-Star FIVE to
turn the trick and they kept in easy
distance of the winning side all
through the game.
Hammond found II necessary to use
three substitutes, as there were only
two regular players that were able to
play. Gary also used two substitutes.
but It was Hammond from start to
finish and won the game in a walk
away.
In the first half the All-Star quintet
swept the Electrics off their feet, and
when time was called they had doubled
the Gary score. which stood 14-7. In
the second half Hammond again dis
played some clever basket throwing,

Mr.. Tumley was next introduced and
gave one of the best addresses ever

the wrongs done to the farmer by a
certain set of politicians in Illinois,
who were allied with the big dealers in
Chicago. told how they created the
prices according to the supply and de-
mand, regulating that in the interest
of their own pocketbook. He went
after the tuberculin tests of cattle
