Big Strike s1:;1i of Zinc
Columbus Mine Encounters
 Splendid Ore Body

This week James Uncapher, of Min eral Park, started work on his Columbus mine, at Cerbat, and within a couple of days was rewarded by the opening of a body of ore six feet in width on the tunnel level. The ore shows three feet of shipping ore and the same width of milling values. No walls have yet been reached and those that have seen the strike are of the opinion that it may be many feet wider.
 The strike was made about 200 feet from the portal of the tunnel. A crosscut was being run to ascertain the width of the vein when the first shot broke into the ore. A great pile of the ore is now on the dump and more is coming out every shift. The tunnel had been run in on part of the Columbus vein many years ago to depth of 400 feet, considerable milling ore was taken from this tunnel, which was milled in the old Flores plant. This ore carried values in lead, gold and silver. No crosscut was ever run across the vein and up to the present time nothing was known of the presence of large bodies of zinc in the property. MT. Uncapher will put on another shift of men and will open the property as rapidly as possible.

A letter from Congressman Carl Hay den to the MINER editor conveys the in formation that congress has adjourned and that he will return home at once. No extra session of congress is contem- plated by the President, so far as he knows, unless it be next November, when it is probable the session will be called to again take up the matter of the shipping bill. MT. Hayden has been at the National Capital almost continuously the past three years and bas accomplished much good for the state of Arizona.

New County Engineer.

| IeOTSe A. IDeeDe, WllO was dppolllI- ed County Engineer by the board of supervisors at their first sitting in January, resigned the office last Mon day. The resignation was at once &C., cepted, and J. B. Wright was appoint ed to fill the vacant place.
 MT. Beebe and wife, while residing in Kingman made many friends who are sorry to see them return to the old home in Chloride.
 J. B. Wright, who has been appoint ed County Engineer, is one of the best known surveyors in the state and is an energetic, go-ahead fellow In his hands this office will be of great benefit to the people of the county. Today the county has great need of man who will give not only service but expert knowledge to the people in the laying out, building and upkeep of the county roads. The MINER editor is a good roads enthusiast, but only so far as re- suits are obtained that will benefit the internal welfare of the county We have always believed that an east and west line of road was a necessity and that other roads should be carried to connection with it at every possible. point. We believe that a good road, skirting the mountains in the Sacra- mento valley, to Chloride, is one of the things to be desired, and we believe that an imperative necessity is good road over the mountain to Goldroad and Oatman.
 With an energetic man like MT. Wright in the field, we believe this may be accomplished during the year. So it is just and right that every one having the best interest of the whole county at heart should put their shoul- der to the wheel of progress and get the roads over which the wheel may run.
 The federal court at Prescott took many people from Mohave county, the first of the week, fully twenty-five jurors being called, besides large number of witnesses. As some cases have been set as far ahead as Monday it is probable that quite a number will be held over Sunday in the Mile High City. From Mohave county there were seven cases of the unlawful selling of liquor to Indians, only two of whom were indicted, the grand jury be- lieving that the men had been punished enough by incarceration in the Mohave county jail about four months. One of the indicted men plead not guilty and was convicted before jury, while the other plead guilty and was given sus- pended sentence. A number of other cases went over to the September term of court.
 John Boyle and family departed to Prescott last Sunday morning, where Mr. Boyle was called on jury duty. They have gone to Phoenix, where MT. Boyle has important business to trans act, and will return to kingman to- morrow

Victor Gold Mines Optioned.

The mines and mill of the Victor Gold Mines and the big mill have been optioned to Los Angeles and Montana people by the present owner, A. l.. White. The option was obtained through D. s. Richard, of Kingman, the Arizona representative of MT. White. Jules Rhodes, who is known to many of the people of this county, worked up the deal on the property, putting in some of the claims owned by himself and associates.
 Work is to be begun at once on the mines, the plant on the mine to be tied up with the power line from Kingman to Oatman and the mine pumped out and developed to considerable extent. Crosscuts from the 800 level of the Vic tor are to be run to another vein close by and it is probable that the shaft will be sunk to another level at the same time. The people holding the option will be at work on the mines before the 18th of the present month.

Those to whom the Waterville
Sentinel appeals and those with

were more interested in the rum vote
of Boston than in the triumph of good
government. But our friend proves
his lack of perception in concluding
that his friends are the people. The
Sentinel says:
perhaps it ought not 10 be the case
that rejoicing in prohibition Maine
should follow victory for the vets
in Boston. Yet the interest shown in
Maine in the Boston election centered
largely in the question whether Bos-

that many a good prohibitionist down
here in Maine would have learned
wiki regret that certain familiar
places in the Bay State capital had

Remember the Children.

Editor kennebec Journal:
VIII YOU. at this glad Christmas
season. help to send food to hungry
children and clothing to keep them
warm?
This appeal is made by the National
Allied Relief Committee for the chill
uien of the allied soldiers. 1t saws:
Ihey are little children innocent
victims OF the war, who are without
1ood, clothing and shelter. Many have
dled and others are facing death from
the want of the actual necessities OF
life
IT Is not for munitions of war, if is
not to aid the fighting forces that con-
trlbutions are asked. 1t is for help
less and destitute boys. girls and
| paoes IN arms who cannot help them
selves.
Ihere are today in the countries
OF the European Allies thousands of
children in pitiful state of need, pro-
duced by war conditions In yavious
parts Of France there are French and
belgian children who were made pris-
oners and taken to distant concentra-
tloh camps, later to be returned to
france. These are separated from
their parents and homeless. There
are babies that We're born in captivity
returning with no clothing other than
part of the mothers scant apparel.
Ihere are other children in parts
OF france who have lived for months
IN cellars. outhouses and other emery
ency dwellings,. These children have
/ heard the shrek of shells over their
heads and have seen the shells burst
ing dangerously close TO them. Inno-
cent children. they have been COM
PEELED TO become a part of wars hor-
, fors. to see and endure things that
nave tried the souls of people of ma
turer years
The children of Serbia are victims
of equally pathetic restitution and
F., tragic suffering. Their homeland has
oeen devastated. their homes placed in
ruins and they have been made wan
derers in strange lands. Little chill
dren whose parents either have been
Killed or lost to them, are without shell
ter and clothing and are begging for
food because they are hungry They
are dropping by the roadside dropping
from exhaustion, and dying.
These are some of the children to
whom the National Allied Committee
wants to send immediate aid. These
ere the conditions existing at Christ
mas time, the season of peace and
good will: existing as a New Year is
about to dawn. 1t is food for empty
stomachs and clothes to cover naked
bodies that we want to send these
children. There will be no Christmas
trees for them. no candies or TOYS:
they want food and clothes and it will
make the New Year wonderfully
brighter if they have them
We appeal to generous Americans
to help these children Christmas is
happier for giving then receiving:
none is worthier of aid than HELPLESS
little children"
All contributions should be sent to
the National Allied Relief Committee,

The Administration's Optimism.
Oath TimeS.)

Six months Of patient hope and wordy
warnings since the Lusitana massacre
have not in the least damaged the Ad-
ministraton's optimism. The Admins
tration' believes that Austria will
grant" the demands relating to the An
coma piracy. and so far as the public is
advised. even continues TO expect that
Germany will do the square thing about
the Lusitania piracy. 1t is indeed a
blessing to Mr. Wilson and his fellow
officials that they possess this capacity
to see light where there is none. Its
about the only thing to make their situa-
ton endurable
