Road Bonds Sold.

This week w. c. Kelley, of Kelley X Kelley, bond buyers, arranged to take over the issue of l00,0 ,000S of bonds of Mohave county, the money to be paid over to the county next Monday. The firm is to take over the issues of Arizona county bonds, that have been issued for good roads, and during the year more highways will be built than ever before in the history of the state
 And now that Mohave county has secured the money to go ahead with the east and west road will be rushed to completion. The present board of supervisors will have surveys made of the incom pleted parts of the road and several big outfits will be put to work at once. The work now being carried on below town indicates the nature of the road work that will be done along the entire highway from east to west In coin bination with this work several of the well travelled roads of the county will be rsmodeled and the grades cut to such degree that big trucks can , be safely operated over them.
 The people of Mohave county will soon realize what good roads mean and to what extent good roads will tighten the burdens of haulage from the mines and ranches to shipping points. And
 when this first one hundred thousand dollars Is well spent, we expect anoth-
 CT appropriation to be forthcoming.

A Boulder, Colo, dispatch says: With the release of the restraints of frost and snow in the mountains came the fulltledyed vgor of development of the great Sugar Loaf development of the United States Gold corporation, and at the plant of the company on the Livingston mine there is universal activity and energy. The excavation for the addition to the roasting plant Is completed and masonry work is up- der way in preparation for the steel building for which contracts have been let some time since. Material is arriving and from this time every eff fort will be put forth to expedite the completion of this addition in order that the mill may be got into commis. sion as early as possible in the season. A complete sampling plant is to be installed st once for the greater facil- ity of the company Tn handling it's own business and mine operators of the dis. trict anticipated that it will permit of treatment of ore other than the con- pany ores when the plant is running at full capacity.

Mine Assessment and Produc-
 ton of Mohave.

The State Tax Commission has just made it's return to the Assessor of this county on account of mine tax for the year 1914. Owing to the large amount of dead work done by the Golconda i last year and the stoppage of produc- tion by reason of the sinking of the new shaft to the 600 level and remod- cling of the old shaft to the surface, there was no net production from that property. The same was true of tho Grand Gulch and the Frisco Gold mines. This left only three corpora tions in the county that paid net on their production, the Gold Road. Tom Reed, and Needles Mining & Smelling mpanies. The following is the way the production of these corporations show on the tax roll:
 Tom Reed Gold Mines Co. Value Ounces Gold, 52,53S.45 l,OS6,3S3 I6 Ounces silver, 25,6974l 15,364.74 Total production , v. l,l0l, 747.9O Net production. dividends

 These companies. as well as the companies making no net production, will also pay tax on their plants. i'm provements and all holdings they may have in the county and subject to tax ation. This added tax will run the assessment of the mines to about 6, ,OOO,- OOOS, which will be in the neighbour hood of the assessment of last year. Had it not been for the condition ex- isting last year. which caused the shut down of the Grand Gulch and the Col conda. the assessment of the mines on account of production would have been about onehalf million over that of 1913.

Work on the Arabian group is being

 carried on with all possible dispatch and heavier machinery will soon have , to be put in to get below the present ,, levels in all the shafts. So far all ore ; opened has been of pay grade, and the bodies are very large.
 i F. A. Wright, who has the manage ment of the old Elkhart mine, is vis- itor from San Francisco. The Elkhart was at one tine managed by Dr. Theo- dore Comstock and produced consd- erable silver-lead ore. With proper method of handling the ore it looks as though the mine would make a big producer.
 J. w. Mines, of the Journal Miner, of Prescott. was Kingman visitor Thursday last, coming here to close up mining deal involving one of the greatest mining properties in the state. Mir. Mines has made a big success of the Journal. Miner and be- lleves that he can also successfully pull off big mining deal.
 We would like to see the old Sheep trail mines taken over by company that was capable of reopening the old works and sinking below the break in the veins. The ore found on the sur. face was of very high grade and there is no reason why the same general grade cannot be found below the break. The group is patented and can be had. we believe, on a long time bond.
 The latest report from the Copper Giant mine indicates that the ore on the 450 level is far better than that on any of the levels above. and the ore body is larger and more continuous. The company has been doing good work the past four months and it looks as though It's sale to the Clark people was assured. The mine is within five miles of the railroad and with an ex- ce llent wagon road into the camp.
 A report is current in Kingman that copper ore has been encountered in the new workings of the Gold Road mine. Mining men are of the opinion that the Gold Road country will event. ually open the same character of ore in the deep workings that have been found in the lower workings of the Goldfield Con. mines, where copper now is considered a bi.product. If copper has been fonnd in this big mine it will be of great value to the district
 J. Pruitt, who has been operating a little plant near Boulder Springs, is having tests made on the ores to ascer- tain their adaptihility to amalgama- tion. A cyanide plant has been put in, but owing to the manner of crushing and the coarseness of the gold only small saving could be made. Fine crushing and amalgamation may be the solution. While the streak of ore in the mine is small the values are very high.

The Report.


State of Colorado, Las Animas
County. in the District Court, Trini-
dad, Colo, August 29th, 1914.
To the Honorable A. Watson Mclicn-
drie, Judge of Said Court:
We, the undersigned members of
the grand jury, beg leave TO submit
to Your Honor the following report:
First: That we have examined
the hotels, lodging houses and places
of amusement in the city of Trinidad,
and at the town of AguiIar, and that
we find substantial compliance
with the statutes on the part OF the
proprietors of the hotels and lodging
houses, but recommend that the pro-
rTietcrs of the Columbian hotel of the
city of Trinidad be required to pro-
vide an outside iron stairway in the
place of the existing ladders. The
places of amusement within the city
of Trinidad are found to be comply
ing in all respects with the law. In
Aguilar we find that the hall above
the theatre has no stairway from the
side door to the ground. The other
public hall in Aguilar should be rem
dered safer by widening the stair
way. and by making the doors open
outward.
Second: From our examination of
the county Jail we are of the opin-
ion that some repairs and renovatiols
are necessary at the present time.
The interior of the building should
be white-washed, new mattresses and
bed clothing should be provided in

London. Aug. 29.-3:40 p. m.-
Exhaustion on the part of the Ger
man troops and the consequent neces-
sity of stopping their forward move
ment is offered in some quarters to-
day as an explanation of the abso-
lutte silence which has veiled all the
operations in northern France since
the desperate struggle on Welcomes
day, when a quarter of a million Ger
man soldiers tried to hack their way
through the British lines held by less
than half that number.
Just as many other people, how
ever, are convinced that the battle
which Field Marshal Sir John
French, commander-in-chie of the
British forces on the continent. said
on Wednesday was impending, is now
in progress and that the commanders
are awaiting a decisive outcome be-
fore permitting anything to become
public.
Since last Wednesday, both British
and French troops have had time to
entrench themselves and their artil-
lery has been able to find the ranges
over the zones the Germans must ira
verse in the next fighting.
Reports that France has formed a
new army of 250,000 to take the Of
fensive against the German right has
aroused much interest. They have
not, however. been confirmed.
A telegram from Basel, Switzer-
land, declaring that five German
and Austrian army corps are march
ing on Belfort, France, has not been
authenticated nor has anyother re-
port that the Germans have been
Obliged to withdraw portion of
their forces in the west to meet the

The advance movement of the

they would appear to be drawing the
net tighter around Lemberg.
