THE SOCIAL REALM
HIGH SCHOOL PARTY.

Last Wednesday the members of
the Sophomore and Freshman classes
received the following:
Dear Freshies green,
and Sophomores bold:
Will you come to our party
If it isn't too cold?
Next Saturday night
Somewhere near eight
To have good time
And stay awfully late.
We'd love to have you every one,
Cause we are all going to have some
fun.
Respectfully yours,
The Seniors Wise,
Also yours truly,
The Junior Guys.
High School Building
Saturday night after the four clas-
ses had assembled and everyone was
enjoying the prospect of pleasant
evening, the Freshmen were sum
moned, much to their fright, to APP
pear one by one, before the Seniors
and Juniors to receive their initia-
tory welcome into the High School.
Following the initiation, small
cards, on which were printed six line
subjects, were passed to all present.
Each boy signed up with a different
girl to discuss for five minutes the
respective subjects.
After this interesting period of
gossip the classes wildly scattered
to the downstairs rooms, which were
tastefully decorated in the Freshman
and Sophomore colors, where for an
hour, to the melodious strains of
Bryan Gamers violin, the students
played the Virginia reel, as in days of
yore.
About this time were seen to scat
ter five or six domestic Senior and
Junior girls. Forthwith everyone re-
paired to the assembly room, where
in due time delicious refreshments,
consisting of ice cream and cake, were
served.
After refreshments, various games
were enjoyed and at a late hour the
students departed, voting the Sc
niors and Juniors charming hostesses
and hosts.

bursting dividends of per cent month on the par value of capitalization of 1000, ,OOO$.
 It is conceded fact among experi- enced mining men that every mining district has it's own peculiarites and in this regard the San Francisco district is positively in class all by itself.
 There is small cabin Trail track extends from the end of the dump the entire length of the tunnel; one ore car and blacksmith shop.
 Without doubt the economic cordi- tions are the most favorable for oper- ating the property on an extensive scale. There are no extremes of wealth CT to prevent operating the mine and mill every day in the year.
 W. H. Jay and N. J. McCuest,on re- gently took over this rich property and are now installing a 50-ton cyanide plant and electric hoist.
 Mir. Jay was for several years iden- Cified with a number of big Nevada propositions and he brings to this field an invaluable experience.

GOLD TRAIL MINES.
Aggressive Operations Now Seing
 Prosecuted.

The Gold Trail group consists of sev- en locations, four of which are contig- uous, on one and the same vein.
 The property is situated in the San Francisco mining district, on the East side of Black mountain and ten miles from the railroad. There is good wagon road from the mines to Kingman and the distance is F miles.
 The formation is andesite and rhyo- lite; the vein is on the contact of the two formations.
 On the property there is spring of excellent water, which has continuous flow all the year around. Within two m,les of the property sufficient water can be secured to operate 200-ton quartz mill, and the spring is at such an elevation that the water will flow by gravity to the property.
 There is bOO feet of development work on the property which consists of open cuts, tunnels and shaft.
 The claims are situated about l-2 miles from the kingman power line and one mile from the telephone system.
 The vein system is strongly defined and is from five to twelve feet wide. The gold content is from 1O$ to 3O0$ per ton.
 The formation and general character istics of the ore is identical with that in the famous Tom Reed, which is dis
Mohave County miner., 1914-11-21

A tourist from the state of Iowa, who has driven all over the southwestern country, stopped over in Kingman a few days ago. In talking of his trip he casually mentioned the fact that the road between Blackberry and Kingman was the best he had driven over since leaving Iowa. Many Kingman people do not realize this fact, but men who have had to contend with all kinds of road conditions appreciate a good road when they drive over sit. We believe that the completed roads in Mohave county excel those of any other section of the southwest. When the races were run over our roads last week the big cars took them at the rate of from fifty-tive to seventy-hve miles per hour, which was far better time than that made on any other part of the Yavapai and Maricopa counties they went into the mud hub deep. It is up to Mohave county people to get in and build a system of highways that will not only be credit to them, but will bring them big results in the way of increased travel, but will also make It possible to get into and out of the min ing camps as expeditiously as possible. Good roads will reduce mining costs, as well will they bring the farmer nearer to the markets.

Gold Road Mine
 Makes Big Strike.
Four Feet of High Grade Gold Ore Has Been Disclosed
 in Virgin Ground.
Judicious Exploitation Opens Up Very Promising Vein at
 Depth of ASO Feet.

Wonderful News indeed is that from the Great Gold Zone of the River Range for the disclosure of high grade gold ore in Virgin terri tory on the famous Gold Road mine is the most important development in the history of that big gold proper ty. ,t forever sets at rest the ques- ton of the persistency Of the veins at depth and values rapidly increase az they SC down.
 The Gold Road mine is to Northern Arizona a beacon of light, for it has for many years been bright particular !, star of this promising field of big mines and when that property steps forward with a remarkably rich strike of high grade gold ore, at e depth of 800 feet, in virgin territory, then the mining world is obliged to sit up and take no- tice, for it is positively important in deed to the mining industry.
 Heretofore Manager D. R. Muir has directed his efforts to development work in the West end of the company's eX- tensive holdings, but recently he con- ce.ved the theory that rich ore should be uncovered in the East end. Certain it was that rich ore bad been found at and near the surface by chloriders and as the geological conditions were favor able it seemed reasonable that good ore would be uncovered in depth. - So far as exploited the shoot is feet wide and carries exceedingly high gold values, and in every respect what min CTS term "high-grade", meaning ore ,carrying extraordinary values. An it is indeed woderfully rich in its gold con- tent.
 Three years ago the Gold Road mine was taken over by the United States Refining, Smelling and mining company after three or four months of a very exhaustive examination, at cash con- sideration of 1,600, 000$.
 The property was at oi.ce placed un- der the management of MT. Muir and each and every month since that date the production has been 80, ,00O$, but ap- parently it will be nearer 100, ,0O0$ in future, owing in a great degree to the recent strike.
 Mr. Muir will not rest content with the present development but will az gresslvely advance the work until the East end territory is thoroughly ex- plotted.
 The Gold Road mine has uncovered high-grade in the lower levels, but the drift will be continued right along un- hl 1t gets under very rich shoot here tofore uncovered on the surface.

Helping the Mines.

LAlOl 'AoIlOl gradually aCCulHuldJeS OI the steps being taken in various parts of the world to assist the mining in- austry to tide over the tremendous crisis with which many branches have oeen faced owing to the dislocation of the peans of transmitting credit, the complete disappearance of particular markets, and the fall in the price of particular metals to point where they are in many cases probably unpayable, ! says the London Miniog Journal. It is hardly necessary to say that the prob lens are different in every country, and that every community will ap- proach the difficulty in different way. We have already seen the Federated Malay States grasping the difficulty with determination, and boldly under taking to purchase ore produced at a price which at recent prices for tin must mean some loss to the state. In South Australia the government have promised assistance to keep the Wala- roo mines and smelters in full work. At Broken Hill arrangements have been made by the companies to assist each other in disposal of their pro- ducts, and 50 keep the mines, with the probable exception of Block IA, the Junction and Junction North, going. In America, though on account of the size of the country we have not heard much of trouble, the magnitude of the industry renders the problem a larger, If less intense, one than in smaller com munlties. So far the copper industry Is the one mainly affected. In the United States itself there are well over 5O,OOO men engaged in copper min Ing, and If to these be added the large concerns operating in Canada, Mexico, and South America, 1t will be seen that tne present reduction Tn output o1 some 90 per cent must cause a good deal of dislocation and hardship. So much has the situation been felt in the western states that movement has been set on foot to suspend for the present the law requiring development work on claims, which, of course, are held in many cases by individual miners. The ad- minlstration is reluctant to interfere at present, as it IS felt that many miners out of employment might find a living in doing such assessment work for others. No Goubt one result of the nod up Tn the copper mines will be to largely increase prospecting for gold. The agitation for the suspension of the law, therefore, is interesting as an indication of conditions Tn the western states rather than as any positive evi- dence of steps taken to deal with it. Moreover the replies given indicate that the authorities are quite prepared to consider suggestions should the de- mand for assistance become more general; and such will, we may be sure, be the action of administrations every where. Neither mines nor miners can be improvised, and of late years the supply of numbers has barely kept up with the demand. In many countries, therefore, future prosperity depends on the men being found occupation and means of subsistence while the war lasts, and consequently ordinary eco- homie considerations will be to some extent disregarded.

Senator Featherston offered prop
