MADE A RECORD RUN
TO EAGLESMERE, PA.
R. K. Thompson and Father One
Day on Trip in Buick
Roadster.

r. K. Thompson, driving a Buick
roadster. accompanied by his father,
DR.. NJ. F. Thompson, made a record run
last week to Eaglesmere, Pa. the dis
tance, 301.7 miles, being covered in one
day. Leaving this city at o'clock in
the morning, the route was via Rock
Vile, Daytonsville, Damascus, Fred
erick and thence to Gettysburg.
At Damascus they took the wrong
road and ran up several miles before
they finally got straight again. Just
before pulling into Frederick the ma
chine struck rock, causing all of
the oil in the crank case to leak out.
Repairs were made at Frederick. while
they enjoyed breakfast. Passing
straight through Gettysburg, they con-
tinued their journey to Harrisburg,
finding the road macadamized nearly
the entire distance and in fine shape
Found Splendid Road.
Harrisburg was reached at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon. They decided to re-
sumo their journey and followed the
Susquehanna river for about twenty
miles, finding a splendid road all the
way. The road is constructed of blue
stone and only wide enough for one
the route was via northumberland, a
distance of fifty-six miles, where their
odometer registered 209 miles. The
correct mileage should have been 1873,
but owing to the numerous oetours on
account of repairing the roads the
mileage was considerably increased.
At Northumberland they lost their
bearings again, having taken the road
to Wilkes-Barre. They turned back.
however, and were soon vending their
way northward to Eaglesmere. Hitting
it up in the mountainous country, they
headed for Muncey, running into a
slight rain.
Took Wrong Route.
On arriving at Muncey they once
more started on the wrong road and
found it necessary to make a fifteen
mile detour. Crossing North noun
tain, they soon saw the lights Of
Eaglesmere in the distance and. after
considerable trouble locating the right
road, started for their end Of the
journey. Up and up in the mountains
they motored, the climb being the
steepest the little car had ever en-
countered. Eaglesmere was finally
reached at 1880 o'clock the same
night The trip averaged twenty-three
miles to a gallon of gasoline, with the
running time average twenty miles an
hour.

The 1915 model has had an ag-

prove beyond any question that it has
strength for every emergency, power
to spare, the easy riding qualities of
cars costing much more; that its me-
dunn weight is scientifically distribut-

The San Francisco Mine.

T. J. Purdy and 2 party of stock holder. have just returned from the San Francisco mine, where they spent week with the manager. J. E. White, examining the ore bodies re- gently exposed and the operation of the old stamp mill. All were greatly pleased with the showipgs and the work which has been done, and are now preparing to advance 5O,O0OS, which IS to be spent in new equip ment for the mine and mill, and in opening the ore bodies, so that they can be worked in the most economical manner.
 To Mir. Purdy is due the present satisfactory condition of this property, as it was his faith in it's ability to pro- duce and the richness of it's ores. that brought present results. Among the party was George J. Miller, a wealthy resident of Pittston, Pa., well known mining man, having large mining in- terests in Washington, Oregon and Wyoming, and also Charles Shitfer, of Sudbury, a representative business man of the Keystone state.
 Under the able management of J. E.. White the property IS sure of success. It has splendid ore bodies ready to produce. and new ore bodies are being traced out and exploited. With suf- ficent treasury to cover exploratory work this mine will soon be put on a paying basis.

Good Roads Meeting.

Last Wednesday morning large number of people from the Sandy. Chloride, Goldroad, Oatman. Yucca and other places came to Kingman to attend the good roads meeting, which had been called for that date. To show these people what was being done in the interest of good roads a rece option was held at the courthouse in the morning, over which Judge Krook, president of the Mohave County Good Roads Association presided. Judge Krook addressed the gathering and Anson H. Smith delivered an ad- dress of welcome. Mr. Powers, of the Yavapai Magazine, also addressed the meeting.
 Autom obiles had been provided and about forty people drove over the highway to Yucca, returning in the afternoon. At three o'clock the dele gates gathered at the courthouse and tried to get together on the subject of Iodu bCCNS III tuC COuhUys W hllC many speeches were made llttle pro. gress was made in outlining plans for the work to be done, although the Sandy people introduced and passed resolution calling on the board of supervisors to build road from the Sandy to the Hillside road, in Yava- pal county, over which they may travel to Prescott or Phoenix. without going around by way of Ash Fork. Mrs. Ralph Bulkely really voiced the sentiment of the people when she moved that the supervisors be asked to build the road to the Sandy first and if afterward a road could be built across the Aquarius range they could do so. To us road .o the Sandy, another to Goldroad and Oatman, one to Chloride, following around close to the foothills to take in Cerbat, Todd Basin and Mineral Park, would be of more benefit in day than road across the mountains would in year. But, nevertheless, we are in favor of the building of roads, and the best roads that can be built, wherever they will be of material benefit to any large number of people. With good roads the Big Sandy valley would be soon settled up, and this road would even- tuaIly result in the building of rail- road.
 Among the delegates from the Sandy were Mesdames Ralph Bulkely, J. K. P. Fancher and Fred Sturzeney- ger. Owing to lack of space we are unable to go into the matter of roads as fully as we would wish, but will cover the subject in later article.
 In the evening the guests were treated to splendid banquet ID the banquet room at Elks Hall.
