TRAPPER MUST BE SKILLED
Farmer Boy. TO e Successful. Must
Acquire knowledge Of Habits
of Different Animals.

Wild animals depend largely on
their scent to escape pitfalls and
traps. Consequently. any effort in
trapping must first of all eliminate
odors. Therefore. to be most sue
cessful in capturing fur animals 70
quires knowledge of the habits OF
each. The setting of traps requires
skill. not only in placing them in the
right spot, but in covering up odors
and the evidence of the presence of
human beings. The time of the year
and the character of the weather have
much 10 do in finding prizes on max
ing the rounds in the morning. AMI
mails are governed largely by weather
conditions and when a severe snow
storm or cold snap approaches. re-
main close in their dens or holes. At
such times the trapper viii not have
much luck. Dry. cold, frosty nights
IN winter are also not fruitful Of
good results. But when the nights
are dark, rainy and cloudy the
chances for good catches are very
favorable.
Most game is usually found In
Wild, rough, billy or swampy coun-
tries. Foxes and wolves are some
times seen on the open prairie. In
looking for signs of game observe
carefully the rocks and brush along
creeks. ponds and lakes. The paths
OF beaver, muskrat. coon and mink
are evidences that fur-bearing game
travels in that vicinity. These are
sure signs and are splendid places to
trap. For mink. which is one of the
most valuable fur animals, the trap
should be set near the den. Tran
ping for mink may begin in Novem-
Der and continue until April. between
which dates the fur is prime.

The maps sent out by the MINER last week to it's subscribers have been well received, the patrons finding them Just what they wanted. The MINER can be depended on for uptodateness in every department, and it will not be long until many reforms are afoot in this office to give the subscribers their moneys worth in reliable news from every district in the county, as we'll as a thorough review of the min ing news of the state.
 William A. Studley and H. J. Rob- inson went up to the mines owned by Mir. Studey. in IXL basin, Wednesday last, and took look over the proper ties. The mines are located along the great vein that runs from the Wallapai valley on the south, to Chloride, on the north, and show ore wherever opened. Some of the openings show good values in copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc. The vein in places is fully 300 feet wide and forms the lower part of the canyon from the apex of the mountain to the valley. On the west the vein forms the great porphyry uplift in which is situated the turquoise mines of Miner- al Park Mr. Studley and others have done large amount of work along the outcrop of the big vein and have many fine showings of ore.
 Last evening Kingman lodge B. P. O. Elks elected the following officers to serve the coming year: w. E. Moroney, representative to the grand lodge, that is to meet at Portland, Oregon, Johu Hamilton. alternate representative; J. H. Rosenberg, ex- alted ruler: k A.

With the great amount of heavy haulage over the streets of the town it is up to the people to either sprinkle them literally with water or oil them If sprinkling is to be resorted to the work should be undertaken at once, and if the streets are to be oiled they must be first graded and then oiled and rolled. This work would cost but a few thousand dollars, and the time is the present. Let each property owner pay the amount necessary to grade and oil the street in front of his property, or let Us incorporate the town and issue bonds for street lm- provement. By the issue of bonds the burden of provement would be not seriously felt. while the direct tax would be quite heavy, as it would have to be paid when the work was completed.

Almost without exception the bust
ness men of the city believe that the
coming of the interurban cars to the
heart of the city would be distinct
advantage to the business interests
and benefit to the people of the city
generally. That being the case it
would be a pity to let any controversy
over any minor point such as the
number of stops to be made by the
cars on their way down town delay
the completion Of the deal. The state
railroad commission can be trusted to
protect the people in their right to
good service, and, for the matter of
that, the railroad company appears to
be inclined to do about as the people
want in regard to stops. The com
pany is naturally very anxious to Sc
cure an entrance to the down town
district for its cars and will do any
thing in reason to get that privilege
which means much to the company
both in the way of increased business
and better service to its patrons.
