Arizona Western Railroad
 Lands Company.

This week Newton Evans filed with the County Recorder for record arti. ces of incorporation of the Arizona Western Railroad Lands company, a corporation that has for its oh]ect the building of railroads and the improve ment of the large tracts of lands in the country near the McCracken mines. Mr. Evans has secured from the Santa 1 Fe Pacific railroad five townships of lands that embrace some of the best holdings of the railroad company south of Yucca. One hundred acres of this land has been seeded to grain to show just what the soil is capable of doing. The grain is now up and shows a healthy growth.
 The new company is capitalized at 400 shares of the par value of HOODS each. The corporators are w. F. Rau, J. F. Clark. R. c. Williams, jr., F J. Catterlin. and Newton Evans, all of Los Angeles Anson H. Smith has been appointed statutory agent of the corporation in the sta e. Mr. Evans has been getting the lands of the com pany in shape to handle on large scale and believes he will be able to work out one of the greatest reclama- tion schemes in the state. The lands can be dry farmed, water for domestic and many other purposes being obtain able by the drilling of wells. Should dam be built in Bill Williams Fork water could also be brought upon the lands with little effort. Throughout that region the lands are exceedingly rich. being suited to fruit raising. as well as cotton, small grains aud afal- ia. With a railroad into that section it would become one of the richest parts of the country, the mines and farm lands furnishing great tonnage. With the proper financing of the pro- l feet we expect to see great things done in the way of reclamation and mining in southern Mohave county this winter.
 Mr. Evans and son have gone to the south part of the county, where they will look over their various projects.
 Karl Kithil, of the U s. Bureau o1 Mines, was Kingman visitor last Monday, coming here from Denver tc
 look over some matters connected with that bureaus investigation of the oc' curence of radium bearing ores. Mr. KithiI exhibited his electric machine for the detection of ores of radium tc our citizens and explained the uses and purposes of the investigation. He also stated that the work of separating the copper and moly ybdenum ores of Cop. per canyon will be carried on as fast as possible, and if within the possibili' ties commercial method would be worked out. The metal is now sough, for by some of the large steel firms and as soon as a perfect separation can be made buyers will be found to make contracts for all the mines can supply The work of the new bureau is attract. ing wide attention and within the next year the people of the western part of the United States will be get, ting big results from it's efforts in the conservation of ores and metals now considered waste materials at the mines.

Concerning the Hands.

Remember that one thing which makes
the beauty of the hand noticeable Is its
gestures. II you are cont nually USING
the hands. toying with things. moving
the fingers necessarily, you are wasting
energy and making the gestures. which
you may use Ineffective. Learn to KEEP
your hands still when they are in repose
and YOU have learned much.
If you must do much housework use
olive oil on the skin of the hands Rub
in q tablespoonful of ii from tine to
time. and then dry the hands on a crasa
towel. The oil removes much CRIME and
dirt and does not irritate the hands as
constant washing does.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Peter Rabbit Is Still Lonesome
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright 1913, ny ]. G.. Lloyd,

Peter Rabbit had left the dear old
briar patch on the Green Meadows and
come up to the Old Pasture because he
was lonesome. Ever since Old Man
Coyote had come to live on the Green
Meadows Peter had been afraid to go
about as he always had done. and be-
cause no one else lived in the old briar
patch Peter had grown lonely that
he couldn't stand 1t. So one moonlight
night he had stolen out and made the
long journey to the Old Pasture. Up
there he felt sure that he would have
nothing to fear from Old Man Coyote
or Granny and Reddy Fox. But on the
way Peter had been careless and had
forgotten to watch out for Hooty the
Owl. and Hooty had almost caught him.
All the rest of that night Peter sat
under a friendly old bramble bush on
the edge of the Old Pasture and nursed
the sore places made by the claws of
Hooty the Owl. At last jolly, round.

felt sure that Mr.. Sun winked at him.
Somehow 1t made him feel better. The
fact is, Peter was beginning to feel just a
wee bit homesick. 1t is bad enough

.'Ouch!' He just knew that he was
growing more stiff and sore every minute.
Then he began to wonder what he should
do for something to eat, for he was
in a strange place, you remember. And
that made him think all his private little

sure Peter was still lonesome. but it was
different kind of lonesomeness. He
hadn't anybody to talk to, which Is al
ways a dreadful thing to Peter, but he
had only to look up to catch friendly
wink, and somehow that not only made
him feel better inside. but it seemed to
make his aches and smarts better. too.
