Betterins the Roads.

A few days ago County Engineer J. B. Wright and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors O. E. Walker went over the old road from McConnico to the intersection of that road with the Chlo- ride road, west of Coyote Holes, with the view of ascertaining the feasibility of building an uptodate road along the line of the Western Railway, instead of rebuilding the road over Coyote Hill. They found that splendid grade could be obtained all the way and the dis tance is but four miles longer than that over Coyote Holes, which would make it about equal with the mountain road on account of the cutting out of the heavy hill climb.
 Coyote Hill has always been an ex- pensive piece of road and the sooner it can be cut out the better it will be for the taxpayers of the county. While it is somewhat shorter it's grade is con- siderable. From the valley to the top of the divide the grade runs from two to eight per cent, and the distance is nearly four miles of this climb. On the other hand the grade along the lower road to McConnico is but one per cent or less, and the upkeep of the road will be very light. The main road to McConnico will be used to the point below the crossing of the Western Rail way of Arizona, and then will follow the line of the railway to Cerbat station, where the White Hills road will be used to Chloride. All of this line of road will be bettered, giving the people of the up-the-range section as good road as there is in the county We have been over the proposed road and believe that it will be the proper solution of the road problem for Ger bat, Golconda, Mineral Park and Chloride. But it is up to the people of that section of country to either accept or reject the plan, as the Board of Supervisors and the County Engineer have only the best interests of that section of country in mind in the re- modelling of this piece of road. If any one has protest to make, let them make it manifest to the Board at their session on the fifteenth of this month.
 Mohave county now has a splendid highway through Kingman canyon, which will be open to use in all kinds of weather and with well made road by this route to all the mining towns and camps of the Wallapai district, the people should be thoroughly satisfied. Automobiles are now the means of travel in this county and few miles of distance over this magnificent roadway will add zest to the trip.

Gold Mines
 of the Cerbats
West Side of Range Show Big Values in Gold, as We'll
 as the Base Metals

Until the opening of the Goldroad and Tom Reed mines, in the Blue Ridge range, all the gold shipped from Mo- have county came from the mines of the Cerbat. The main shippers on the west side of the mountain were the Cerbat, Golden Gem, Flores, Orc Plata, Nighthawk, Keystone, and the mines of Chloride and White Hills. One pecu- liarity of the ore bearing character of the range is that on the east side all the veins carry silver values to the en- tire exclusion of gold, while on the west side gold predominates. On the south side of Cerbat canyon lead pre- dominates as the base metal, while on the north side of this canyon, and only a few hundred yards away, the same veins carry copper and no lead.
 West of the Flores J. w Morgan and J. c. Lane have a mining claim that shows big values in gold, which has produced milling ore some time ago.
 Some time ago an organization known as La Anozira Gold Mines company, took over the Mckinley and Maritime mining claims from w. B. Campbell and other claims from Louis Dickson, upon which they have been doing con siderable work the past several months. On the Mckinley there is a shaft 70 feet deep and drifts running off on the vein 315 feet, all in gold milling ore and another shaft 50 feet in sos ore. On the Maritime a shaft was sunk to depth of 40 feet and drifts have been run off 225 feet and another 75 feet in very good ore. The ore in the two veins is free milling. The company also owns the Alameda and Midway. An open cut on the Midway shows vein of ore six inches wide that gives values of about 1OOO$ in gold. The same vein also shows to a width of IS inches of ore that runs 1O0$ in gold. These veins are in the Flores section of Cerbat, the best gold bearing part of eiS o'SS.
 The Anozira company is arranging for the installation of milling plant to handle its ores at the mines, and this plant is expected to be in operation within the next ninety days. In the meantime the company is working a force of men on the mines and will have stopes opened to produce ore in suffic- tent quantity to keep the mill in com mission all the time. Further develop ment is to be carried on in a conser- vative way under the management of J. Clark McDowell, well known Colo rado mining man. Thomas B. Everett, of Denver, managing engineer of the company, was here this week looking over the property and shaping up things for important developments.

Wednesday last D. R. Muir came in from Goldroad and immediately went out to the Champion mine. at Cerbat, where force of men were put to work reopening that property. The Cham pion carries big body of rather high grade zinc ore, and the recent extra ordinary rise in that metal makes the ores from this mine very valuable. It is the impression of everybody that with greater depth the Champion would become one of the largest lead-zinc producers in the county. It also car ries good values in gold and silver.

They grew up after the war and joined the James gang while mere boys The same. if my memory serves, is true of Dick Little.

 ORGANIZED IN U. s

WASHlNGTON-Detans of the war departments plan for organizing the regular army and the militia for the various States into field armies. ready to respond without confusion toa call for emergency service, are given in a circular issued by thc militia division of the department this week
 It provides for the creation Of l2 militia divisions. with headquarters in each district Each State is assigned its definite quota of troops to be fur. nished. In the four proposed field armies there will be in all 516.26i en- listed men. in addition to some thou- sands who would be employed in the time of actual war at depots and in
 transportation operations. increasing the strength to 100000 men.
 Most of the states already maintain as many men as will be needed in the infantry and light artillery branches. but there is a serious shortage in coast artillery. cavalry and sanitary corps. States are consequently urged to transfer their unutillzed infantry units to othey branches of the service to complete the share in the division al organization. The organized mil. ida of the District of Columbia has been assigned to the Seventh District which win include West Virginia, Del aware. New Jersey Maryland and Vir cinia.
