The act of the California legislature

The act of the California legislature providing an appropriation of 25,OO0S for bridge at Topock failed to be- come law, governor Johnson not af- fixing his signature to the enactment before the thirty day limit expired. The failure of the bill may not be of moment to the matter of bridge build- ing over the Colorado river as it is certain that the government will have to eventually provide bridge to aid the Indians to gain a market for the produce of the Indian farms on the Arizona side of the river, and until that time the railroad will provide means of crossing automobiles and teams on flat car over the railroad bridge.

A Worker Appreciates This

Wm. Morris, a resident of Florence, Oregon. says: "For the last fourteen years my kidneys and bladder incapa- citated me for all work. About eight months ago I began using Foley Kid ney Pills, and they have done what other medicines failed to do, and now am doing and feeling fine, heartily recommend Foley Kidney Pills" Foley Kidney Pills do not contain habit forming drugs and are tonic in acting, quick in results. They will help any case of kidney trouble not beyond the reach of medicine. H. H. Watkins, Druggist.

No Sub bstitute Could Do This

No inferior substitute. but only the genuine Foley Kidney Pills could have rld ]. F. Wallich, Bartlett, Nebr., of his kidney trouble. He says: "I was bothered with backache. and the pain would run up to the back of my head and I had spells of dizziness. I took Foley Kidney Pills and they did the work and I am now entirely rid of kidney trouble. My father.in.l law. now past 93 years, has taken them and they have added years to his life. :" H. H. Watkins, Druggist.

County attorney c. w. Herndon and Supervisors J. C. Potts and w. K. Ridenour visited Phenix this week to get line on just what the new clas. sificatlon of counties bill brought to Mohave county. It was the opinion of the State Examiner that Mohaye county was not entitled to a clerk of the board of supervisors and that by the appointment of the clerk the county had gotten the board into tangle. From the opinion of the At. torney General we would take it that the new classification goes only to the offices created under it or to those that at the time had been fee offices. Many of the counties have accepted the classification without investigation and as a result there is liable to be some entanglements that it will take the courts some time to untangle. If it is true that the new classification should hit this county it would put the Recorder up against peculiar con- dition. Under the theory that as Re- corder he was drawing a salary, which automatically brought him under new classification, that of first class county, and by which act he was di. vested of the office of clerk of the board of supervisors, and the new classification said that he was clerk of the board without remuneration, what would be the result? The Su- preme Court made it clear in the Justice of the Peace matter that no extension of precinct boundaries could be made during the term of office of the incumbe nor could he be divest- ed of office, which would be along the line that the office of clerk of the board of supervisors could not be fore ed back on the Recorder and that as no provision had been by law made for any other person holding the office, the board would be without a clerk. But the law does not contemplate inn possibilities, therefore it would be natural to conclude that the old law will obtain until the end of the terms of the present incumbents.

Superiority of Stamps.

In South Africa the problem of cheap milling has been thoroughly threshed out and the findings appear to be in favor of stamp milling as against tube milling. The difference per ton milled and saving affected is considerable and would indicate that the upkeep and even the installation of the stamp mill was far below that of the tubes. While many of the mines have put in tube mills under the impression that fine grinding would effect greater saving of values, it was found that the excess saving over the product of the stamp mills was at loss in economies. If a mining company is in doubt about the character of a milling plant it should experiment with the two classes of mills and install the one that will be found the most economical. In any case it may be said that the stamp mill can be adapted to any and all classes of milling and in very few cases will it not be found the most economical over the new fangled con. traptions that are foisted on the un. wary mining operator, or even the best designed of the tube milling plants. In this county the mining man runs to the new fangled plants that will eventually be superseded by the stamp mlll, when success will come to crown their efforts.

GoIdroad Bullion Shipme ents.

Thursday last George B. Ayers, messenger for the Gold Road Mines company, brought in from the big mill the regular weekly bar of bullion. The bar weighed 26,O00S As an it. lustration of the heavy production of the mill we refer to the shipments for the three past weeks. For the week ending June II the shipment was 3l,- OOO$: last week 23,OOOS and this week 26, ,000$, making total for the three weeks of SO,000$, or at the rate of ap- proximately HOODS per day.
 As the company is getting things in shape to increase it's capacity largely it may be said that this year will be most successful one in the production of bullion. The mine is capable of producing more than the tonnage re. quired by the mill and as soon as more stamps are added the sooner will the rich ore Tn the new ground be reach ed.
