his parents. He was well liked by all who knew him and his death will be greatly mourned. He was a nephew of Mrs. Anson H. Smith of Kingman.
 America has taken over nearly all stocks formerly held in Europe and the trade in all stocks has settled down to a general upward trend. There is now no fear of the dumping of millions of shares of railroad and industrial shares on the market. The taking over of the millions of shares in American cor porations places the United States in a position where it can dominate the fi- nancial world. Until this war came on no one dreamed of the ability of the various countries to care for the huge expenditures, but it appears that it gave the financiers of the warning nations not the slightest concern, and now billions are disbursed with as easy nonchalence as was millions year ago.
 Automobile drivers who have not had a large amount of experience should not try out the Goldroad hill, unless they have good brakes and can use their compression on the grades. Some of the cars coming through here com plain that they have been routed over the Goldroad hill and considerable trouble negotiating the grade. To all such people we would advise that the road from Topock to Yucca be taken, as any small car can cover the entire distance in the high, with possible ex- ception of the sand wash below Fran conia. The trip through Oatman and Goldroad is one that will afford the ordinary automobilist much pleasure, as it passes through section of coun- try that offers some grand scenery, aside from going through one of the richest gold sections of the state.
 The big mines of Leadville have just been electrized, the power having been turned on last Monday. All the old mines are to be pumped out at once. It is believed that by the first of Sep tember the mines of the whole district will have been unwatered and the ores available for milling. Of course, the old workings will be handled by the new processes to recover the lead and zinc, zinc having heretofore been dis carded in the stopes. l. is estimated that there are millions of tons available for milling, being broken in the stopes and only have to be drawn and sent to the surface.
 Dudley Brothers, the well known mining men, have just made the second payment on the purchase price of mine at Ocampa, Mexico, which they are operating. They say that they have 200, 900 tons of POS above the 200 level of the property. A cyanide plant to handle this ore is to be installed at once. The Qualeys were rather un- fortunate in their mining affairs in this county, but we do not believe it to have been the fault of the mines.
 A narrow escape from death by star walton and thirst southeast of the city was the experience of Thomas Stone, a Cherokee Indian, who was brought to the city by Jack Martin in his machine. Stone came to Tucson four or five days ago from California where he had been working, and, hearing that Foreman McFadden whom he knew, was at the Empire ranch, he decided to go out and ask him for job. He got mixed up in his instructions and wandered away from any settlements. He was with out food for three days and water two days, but Thursday happened to run across a prospector's camp. He was given some beans but could not eat any thing more and had hemorrhage. Tucson Star.
