Big Gold Shipment.

Last Monday there was brought from the Tom Reed mill for shipment to the mint five big bars of bullion, weighing 1O6, ,OOO$. This bullion was taken from the Tom Reed ores during the month of June. Only twenty stamps of the mill was operated during the month, which would give an output of more than 5,OOO$ to the stamp. At the depot the bullion was exposed to the public view and many people gazed admiringly on the cone shaped Jumps of gold. Several pictures of the bullion was taken, one showing Jim Malone, the big Wallapai Indian, standing over the cones with broad grin on his face. This Indian Malone was the favorite of Gen. George Crook, by the way, and that old grizzled warrier accounted him the bravest man that ever lived. Another of the pictures showed Charles Grimes nestling down among the bars with that happy smile and contented look on his face. And who would not be when they were part owner in those big Jumps of gold.
 The Tom Reed mine is now said to have the richest ore bodies ever opened in the property and every day adds to the wealth of the mine. The crosscut on the 500 level has opened a wonderful body of eos ore, while in all the other openings the ore is of high milling grade.

Monday last we went over the com pleted portion of the highway from Kingman to short distance west of Berry. While the roadbed was soft in places it is being put in shape to be one of the best roads in the state. Culverts are to be put in wherever nec- essary, the grade of the Santa Fe rail- road protecting the road except at points where culverts are carried under the track. The work is splendidly done and travellers over the road are enthus- iastic over it's possibilities when it has been carried to the east county line. The work on the outskirts of town is almost completed, and while there is some rock work the expense of over coming natural obstacles is small.

John Lorimer, mayor of Needles, his wife and Harry J. Kane and wife, had wonderful escape from death, last Sunday evening, when their automo- bile became manageable on the Gold road hill, near the Billy Bryan. At the steepest part of the hill the brakes gave way and the machine started on a wild run down the grade. By chance the auto was steered into the bank and turned over, pinning MT. Lorimer be- meath. He was not badly injured but the shock was so great that he tainted and it was only after considerable time that he came to, The other members of the party were considerably shook up but suffered no permanent injuries. D. R. Muir took the party to the river and sent them on their way by ferry to their homes. Report from Needles states that Mayor Lorimer is nearly recovered from the effects of the accieent.

Santa Fe Bridge to be Pianked.

Judge L. V. Root, of Needles, was Kingman visitor Thursday last attend ing to business matters, He reports that with Col. Christy, of the Santa Fe and the engineers of that road, he went to the Needles bridge few days ago and looked over the situation and prepared estimates of the cost of es- tablishing perfect block system, pla hiking the bridge and putting in the approaches from each side. As soon as these estimates are prepared the cost will be laid before the boards of supervisors of San Bernardino and Mohave counties for their consideration. It is unders tood that the matter of cost will be taken care of and that the work will be undertaken within the next thirty days. When the bridge is planked automobiles will run over it under the same restrictions as would train, the block system covering the bridge and approaches.
 Ao oiioW Iioii oPPicSioIioii ol IiC good work of Judge Root in behalf of good roads, the people of Needles, last week, presented him with handsome gold medal, replica of the Grand Can- yon Needles National Highway road sign, properly engraved. The prese mt will no doubt long be cherished by the recipiant.
 Judge Root also informed us that within short time newspaper plant will be put in at Needles to take the place of the one recently destroyed by fire. The new plant will be an upto- date affair, corporation composed of the business men of the town being or ganized to finance the publication. It is expected that the job plant will be received from the foundry within the next few days. Needles should have a good newspaper and under the condi- tion which the new plant is going in it will have publication worthy of the town and people

Col. D. K. B. Sellers.

Col. D. K. B. Sellers, president of the Ocean to Ocean Highway Associa- tion accompanied by Mrs. Sellers. was a Kingman visitor last Monday, coming over the White Mountains to Globe and Phoenix, but turning north by way of Prescott to avoid the heat of the desert on the Yuma route. They report the heat at Phoenix intense, but that the trip from Prescott to have been most delightful. Between ash Fork and Seligman they encountered some bad road on account of the heavy rains in that section. West of Selgman the roads were exceptionally good. He was insistant in praise of the roads in this county and the large amount of good road work that had been done.
 While Col. Sellers is president of the Ocean to Ocean Highway, which is making an effort to get an outlet across the Colorado desert, as well as across an isolated part of Yuma county, he recognizes the fact that the Old Trails road is the only really truly route across the country from east to west. At the present time part of the Ocean to Ocean highway between AL buquerque and St. Johns, will have to be used, because of the impassibility of the road between Albuquerque and Gallup. This road is being built and within the next year will be in shape to accomodate the motorist. The fact that there is no accommodation for the traveller from Globe to Cooley's ranch, a distance of about 100 miles, makes the White Mountain route impossible. And yet there are people who, for sell fish interests advise motorists to take that route. On the Old Trails Road, especially the Trail of the Padre DOT tion of it, the motorist is always se- cure in the knowledge that he is al- ways in reach of communication, the road never going more than three miles from the line ot the Santa Fe. To show just what the Southern Pacific railroad people thought of the Ocean to Ocean Highway we have to but quote the language of their publicity man, when the Phoenix booster took him and the agent of the passenger department to the Roosevelt dam and into the White Mountains, some weeks ago. He reported as saying that when the Roosevelt road was properly safeguard ed, better road built over the noun tains and proper accommodations es- tablished he would boost the road in the company's literature, but under no condition would he be guilty of the crime of sending auto parties over this road. And this from one whose per sonal interest was the boosting of the Ocean to Ocean Highway. Be it also remembered that the editor of this newspaper is not adverse to the build ing of large number of highways across the continent, and also that he would like to see several trunk lines built from coast to coast, but each and all these lines should at no time pass beyond the limit of civilization.
 Col. Sellers and his good wife de- parted Monday afternoon to Needles, thence to Los Angeles.

The board of equalization of this county has been in session several days this week closing up the work of that office. A number of protests were heard from cattle and mining men re- garding assessment of property. These protests will go up to the State Tax Commission, but it is not probable that a reduction will be made. The State board assesses cattle on the basis of the number of cattle sold and also on the number of calves branded. This is the same bases as is used in other cat tie sections and any assessment made under it will go through. Regarding mining assess ment: The mill owners claim that they are unjustly taxed on milling machinery which deteriorates very fast and that of much the plants are useless. On the other hand the State board claims that the plants are to be assessed at full value and allowance made for deterioration. When the plants have deteriorated fifty per cent in value no allowance is made below that figure, as it is the impress sion that such machinery should be re- placed. While we believe there may be some injustice in the assessment of property we believe the State Tax Commission is one of the best boards Arizona has ever had. Nearly all forms of property is now paying it's proper proportion of tax, and the little fellow who has small amount of visi- ble property does not get stuck for more than his proportion. Would it be right to have the railroads pay on an exceptionally high assessment and then have the mining corporations and the cattlemen get off with a twenty five per cent istment. We rather think not. Let every man come in on the same basis, no matter what his holdings may be.

Last week Friday night one of the best rains of the season fell over this section of the country, making the two following days most delightful. The roads and streets were soaked and the dust everywhere laid. The past two days also brought up good rains, cooling the atmosphere immeasurably.

Mines of the County

A sample of ore sent in from the mine of Peter Caffery, at Layne Springs, was assayed and gave results of 56 per cent lead, 58 ounces silver, AS gold and one per cent copper. It is reported that more than two feet of this class of ore is showing in the breast of the drift. Braley and Suffer have lease on the property.
 James Merkle, superintendent of the Nevada Arizona Mines company, was in Kingman few days ago and reports that better ore is being opened up in the 400 level. Some of the ore exhibit ed is glistening mass of gold. At the Merkle shaft, in the Roosevelt tun- nel, the ore is getting better and bet ter with every foot of work done. More water is being developed, but it is thought that sufficient supply will have to be brought in from Clay Springs, some distance away.
 Louis Lusk, who is putting in the mill at the old Fay mine, was in town yesterday and reports that the install lation of the plant has been delayed on account of the failure to deliver the two miles of pipe line, but that the pipe has been received and will be taken to Boulder Springs and laid as fast as possible. Water is necessity at the mine and the promoters of the project will run it in there as fast as possible, so that when the mill is ready for business water for all camp and milling purposes will be on hand. The mill is about one hundred feet lower than the springs, which will give big head of water at the point of delivery.
 The Southwestern Mining & Reduc- tion company has leased the Schuylkill mine to J. w. Henderson, of Fl Monte, California, and Milton F. Henderson, of Portland, Oregon. The men are now at the property and will soon have it unwatered and work of further de- velopment under way. It was gener- ally belived when the shutdown took place that the mine had large bodies of ore, but MT. O'Neil did not care to ex- tract the ore at the time owing to low market for lead. In the back ledge very rich silver ore was found, but only small amount of work was done to open this rich ore. When the water is pumped from the workings it will be necessary to open stopes and prepare the mine for large shipments of ore. The drifts on the 700 and 900 levels of the Tennessee are said to be close to the end line of the Schuylkill, and that the ore bodies are large at that point. The shaft of the Schuylkill is down about 800 feet, and the collar is about 100 feet above that of the Tennessee shaft.

QUITS STATE COLLEGE
f. A. Bryan Resigns AS President,
Effective in 1915.

The resignation of E. A. Bryan as
president of the Washington State
College at Pullman, effective January
1, 1915, presented to an informal
meeting of the board of regents OF
the institution Sunday evening, was
formally accepted Monday. The re-
gents have year in which to select
a successor and expect to proceed
slowly.
The resignation of President Bry-
an, which came as surprise, has re-
vived the talk of consolidating that
college with the University of Wash.
ington at Seattle. His sole reason fol
resigning, President Bryan stated
was that he felt he had earned a va.
cation, that he had served the col.
lege and the state more than twice
the average period of presidents OF
colleges in the United States, and, in
point of service in one institution, his
was by many years the longest. He
retired, he said, for the same reason
that an army or naval officer who has
reached the age limit retires. Presi.
dent Bryan has been connected with
the college % years.

CITY WILL HELP POOR.
Council Loans $500 For Employment
of Men at Park.

Upon the request of Frank G.
Blakeslee of the city park board, en-
dorsed by the executors of the
Schmidt donation fund, the city coun-
Gil this week voted a loan of $500
from that fund to continue the en-
ployment of the poor men of the city
at the city park, the warrant being
drawn in favor of Rev. c. S. Morri-
son, chairman of the committee in
charge Of this work.
Some 16 men have been employed
there, Mr.. Blakeslee said, but were
laid off last Saturday because the
funds had been depleted and the ord
ers for wood had not been coming
fast enough to pay the expenses. 1t
is expected that this action will en-
able the committee to keep the men
employed throughout the winter.

\. ?. USES new LINE
Pt. Defiance Cut-on Onlcially Opened
To Traffic Tuesday.

The Northern Pacific's new Pt. De-
flance line, built at an expense Of
some $8,0O0.000, from Tenino to Pt.
Defiance and thence into Tacoma
through tunnel and affording vir-
tually water-grade from Tacoma to
Portland, was officially opened to
traffic last Tuesday, the principal
event in the way of celebration be-.
ing an excursion of some 800 or 400
members OF the Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce from that city to Tenino,
stopping at the various new stations
along the line and being quite round
ly entertained at Tenino.
The only change in the local pas
senger service consists in routing two
trains each way per day over a pOr-
tion of the new line from Coylston in
to Tacoma, the other trains running
over the old line, but considerably
batter freight service will be furnish
ed local merchants. as told in this
newspaper some weeks ago. Trains
on the local line first used a part OF
the new line last Saturday when they
were routed over it from Coylston to
Nisuually, the new station about
mile east of the old Sherlock depot,
which has been abandoned.

MUD BAY PIONEER DIES
Heart Failure Causes Death of Peter
Mckenzie Thursday.

After a sickness from heart trouble
of about three weeks, most of which
time he had been undergoing treat
ment at st. Peters hospital, Peter
Mckenzie, Is years old, one Of the
pioneer ranchers of the Mud Bay dis
trict, having settled there in the early
days, died at the hospital shortly af-
ter 10 o'clock Thursday morning,
within just few minutes after his
son Victor had left him in apparently
good health. His daughters, Ethel,
Edna and Inez, who were called when
Mr.. Mckenzie showed signs Of be-
coming worse, reached the hospital
too late.
For the last week Mr.. Mckenzie
had apparently been improving and
Wednesday afternoon and evening
had been in particularly good spirits
and appeared to be in as good health
when his son visited him Thursday
morning. He is survived by the wild
ow, four sons and four daughters.
Funeral arrangements have not been
announced.

TO CHARGE SMALL FEE
State System of Employment Bureaus
to BE Self-Sustaining.

To make the proposed system of
state employment bureaus self-sus-
tanning and thereby lay no additional
burdens upon the taxpayer is the de-
cision Of the commission Of employ
ers and employees appointed by Labor
Com missioner K. w. Olson to outline
plans for state employment bureaus,
made necessary by the enactment of
initiative measure No. 8, which legis-
lates private agencies out of exis-
tence.
At the same time the plan of the
commission is to furnish the laborer
opportunity for employment at the
bare cost of operating the bureau
Commissioner Olson believes a charge
Of 25 cents probably will prove suffi-
cient. The attorney general has rul-
ed that the state may legally charge
for such services, though private in
dividuals are forbidden from exacting
a fee.
A bill outlining the views of the
commission will be presented at the
coming session of the legislature.

FISH" FOR CASING
IN CRESCENT WELL
WORK OF REMOVING OBSTRUC-
TION UNDER WAY MAY
DRILL PAST 1T.
Fishing"

F1Shlng.'
That sums up the work that is be-
ing done at the Crescent we'll, the
spear with which it is hoped the four
lengths of the casing loose at the bot
tom can be removed having arrived
Wednesday. The work is being done
by Field Superintendent Howard Slo-
cum of the Scatter Creek Oil COM
pany, an allied concern, under the
personal direction of Emery c. Will
hanson, secretary-treasurer of the
Crescent Oil company.
Three attempts to remove the cas-
ing we're made late Wednesday after
noon, but failed, and the work was
started again Thursday but no furth-
er progress had been reported up to
the time this paper went to press.
The casing is standing upright in the
bottom of the well and apparently in
q favorable position for the use OF the
spear to remove it, but to date the
workers have not been able to con.
meet.
Thursday various people who have
been watching the work felt conf
dent that before the day was over,
the obstruction would be removed.
II that is not accomplished, however,
Superintendent Slocum is credited
with saying that he will proceed i'm
mediately to drill past the casing,
crowding 1t to one side, his opinion
being that this can be done in few
days time, owing to the soft paraffine
shale formation at that depth. Once
the obstruction is removed or passed.
there remains but 100 feet more of
the hole to- reopen before the oil
sands are reached.
Quite a number of Olympians and
residents of Tenino and other cities
went to the we'll Wednesday and
Thursday to witness the work and re-
turned quite cheerful over the pros
poets. Earlier in the week, the ON.
GERS Of the company announced that
q barbed-wire fence had been strung
around the we'll site and that no WIS.,
itors would be permitted to enter
without a written permit from Joe
l.. Peters Of this city. one of the trus-
tees. This action was taken as q
matter of precaution.
No specific details concerning how
the obstruction was placed in the
we'll have come to light during the
last week, further than that the de-
tails obtainable are said to convince
the officers Of the company that the
act was done deliberately.
