Another Deal in Mines.

This week E. A. Carter and Fred Fox were in Kingman where they put the trimmings on a mine deal that shows the financiers have confidence in their property. Before they had incor- porated their company funds to the amount of 1O,OOO$ was secured to begin active work on the mines. It is the in tention to at once put force of men on the mines and put them in shape as fast as possible to produce.
 The claims are in the neighborhood of the George Miller mines, west of the Hercules. The owners have been at work on the properties the past year and are said to have fine showing of very rich gold ore. The veins are also large and the indications are that something will be doing there within the next month. Fox and Carter are familiar with the geology of that sec tion and have put in their time tracing out the various veins systems and open ing up the gold bearing rock.

Maxwell Great Car.

Last week at Venice and the other day at Tucson three Maxwell cars were in the first division of the hardest races run on dirt track. In the first race at Venice, Barney Oldfeld was first ir the 302-mile race, negotiating the dis tance at an average speed of over 67 miles an hour, while Carlson, in another Maxwell, was but second or two be- hind. Richtenbacher, who led in another Maxwell more than half the course, went out when his radiator burst. It is more than probability that he would have been well up in the first division had not the unlooked-for accident oc- cured. As it was, another Maxwell came in fifth.
 At Tucson, Oldtield was first, with Carlson second and Richtenbacher fourth, three Maxwells doing the trick. The two first Maxwells had no troubles from start to finish, making nonstop run in both races, with exception of an oil stop by Carlson at Venice. The non stop run of Oldfeld was the first ever made over the Venice track, which is considered one of the hardest runs ever made, on account of the sharp turns and sections of soft road.
 M. G. Wagner is the local agent of the Maxwell, and last week brought one car in for demonstration. The editor rode in this car around the valley last Sunday and can say that it is one of the classiest cars in the county, and for the money it cannot be reached by any of the other low priced cars. Within the next ten days MT. Wagner expects to have a carload of these cars in Kingman, several of which have al- ready been sold.

Chamber of Com merce.

A we'll attended meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held in the rooms of the chamber last Tuesday, and various were the matters that came before it for discussion. The most important of these matters was that of the surveying and building of a low grade road over Gold Road hill, so so that haulage charges would be re- duced to a minimum. It was the general impression of the members present that the board of supervisors be requested to have County Engineer Wright and assistants go out to Little Meadows and begin the survey for a new road or for such betterment of the old road would make the road practi- cable for teams and trucks.
 Members of the County Board of Education were present and informed the Chamber that meeting of the board had been held that day and it was the agreed purpose to call an cleo tion for the purpose of voting bonds for county high school, but that they had not decided in what amount. It was the opinion of those present that an issue of 60, ,OOO$ should be called for and that at as early date as possible.
 A resolution was also passed calling upon the board of supervisors to issue call for an election for the purpose of voting an issue of 10O,0OO$ for road bonds. The bond issue to be used in building a road across the mountain to Gold Road and Oatman and to improve the various roads to the mines and to the Big Sandy. Several representa- tive business men who are not members of the Chamber were present and ad- vocated the bond issue. Property own CTS from other parts of the county also have assented to the bond issue and it is sure to pass with greater majority than did the last bond issue.
 Any person who has been over the roads that Mohave county built the past year are sure to be impressed favorably toward this bond issue.
 And we need not only high school, but Kingman also needs public school building badly. Let us get it and all the other good things that will make Mohave county bigger and greater.

First Payment on Pilgrim Mines.

Last Saturday at Kingman the first payment on the purchase of the Pill grim mines was paid to William O'Dea, the old owner of the property. It is understood that the payment was a substantial one.
 The Pilgrim group is one of the best gold propositions in the Black Canyon range and has been developed to con- siderable extent by the owner in the years past. In the outcrop was found rich values in gold and at depth splen- did values was opened. When sinking the shaft the superintendent failed to crosscut to the footwall, and it was for this reason that the mine was never be- fore considered by big mining repre- sentatives, but the crossing of the vein at the 400 by MT. O'Dea year ago brought to light the big ore body that is just now attracting attention. Min ing men have been of the opinion that the Pilgrim will make one of the big producers of the state and it's ideal To- cation should make economical handling possible.
 It is understood that the mine will now be handled in big way and that the new people will soon have a big force of miners at work on the main vein of the group.

Great Mines of Cripple Creek

A Cripple Creek, Colo, dispatch says:-The greatest ore strike ever made at great depth in any mining camp has been uncovered between the fifteenth and sixteenth levels in the Portland mine within the past week and body four feet thick, carrying more than 4,00O$ to the ton, is now being worked.
 The management of the Battle moun- tain property refuses to make any statement on the extent of the dis covery, but it is learned from authentic sources that the core of the new ore body, which is one and three-quarters inches thick and is composed of almost pure sylvanite, bears values of more than 0,000$ per ton.
 The excitement about Cripple Creek is greater than it was at the time of the great Vindicator strike months ago when it was first proved that Cripple Creek mines bore riches at great depth. The New Portland ore body is at least 42O feet in width, and it shows promise of growing thicker as development progresses to greater depths.
 Mining men declare the new ore blocked out in the Portland mine great ly exceeds in value the several ship ments recently made from the Cresson mine from similar recent strike.
 The Portland has paid 10000, OOO$ in dividends since the company began operations, and with the latest strike it is declared the property will continue indefinitely to be one of the greatest dividend paying propositions in the Cripple Creek district.
 The find has renewed the confidence of operators of other mines in the dis trict that development at depths will prove the existence of other rich ore bodies.

If Billy Sunday Was God.

At great revival meeting in Phila- delphia, a few days ago, Billy Sunday, in great outburst of enthusiastic fer vor exclaimed: It's a good thing that Pm not God for fifteen minutes. If I were, I'd fill your papers with obitu- aries and fill the the freight cars with dead," And the great audience, as senseless as he was, got up and ap- plauded him vociferously. And yet Billy Sunday is urging people to follow in the footsteps of the lowly Jesus, at so much per urge, and the people are crowding to hear him spout. Barnum had the right idea when he said that it paid to humbug the people, and Sunday had the right idea when he quit base ball to become a revivalist. It is men of the stamp of Billy Sunday who bring religious topics into ridicule, .and it is men of his stamp that work on the emotions of the feeble minded and hysterical until religious murders and other crimes are the result. Just think what Jesus would have said had he stood in that vast audience, as did Billy Sunday. Would he have told people to forget that they were not God and go out and murder. We opine not. Jesus to day in all creeds, to all peoples and in all climes of earth, is the same lowly fignre that he was to his apostles two thousand years ago. Ills counsel was that of peace, His love was for all mankind, and His com- mandments were that thou shalt not kill. But Billy Sunday has another creed, not unlike that of Moses, and were he not restrained by the laws of man there would be nothing to it, but to go out and pot shoot everything in sight until his blood lust was satiated.

It is well known fact that many of the shelter settlements with the mine owners is based on the metals quota tions of the Engineering and Mining Journal of New York. Some time ago that journal was accused by the Mining and Engineering World with failing to give quotations on metals, especially during the time the exchanges were closed, and that when it did give metals quotations they were invariably con- siderably below the market. Now the same conditions exist. Zinc was quoted at Il 1-2 cents bid when the last quotation was available, but it was against the interest of the smelters and the Journal at once stopped quoting it, but tacitly gave out that the price was between and 8 cents on sixty day deliveries. The smelters must have zinc and the miners should make them come out in the open and quote their bids, as are the other metals.

Improvements Planned
 For Desert Roads

H. E. Kellogg, assistant engineer for the county highway commission, came over from the county seat Wednesday with Supervisor G. E. Butler, and will inspect the county road from the Colo rado river to the top of Cajon pass. This inspection is for the purpose of obtaining information for the highway commission, in order that they may in tellignetly designate those certain DOT tions of the road where the 125, ,OOO$ of the road bond issue apportioned to the desert will do the most good. A con- siderable time will be taken in the in- spection between Needles and Barstow.
 Besides the location of the road, an inspection and examination is being made of the road conditions and the materials which are to be found along the line which can be used in the build ing of a permanent highway. Dis cussion of methods of desert road build ing from practical and engineering standpoints are much in evidence Mir. Kellogg is going thoroughly into the matter and with the knowledge that work will be at once commenced on the new grade through the Cajon pass, there is little more than can be asked. The road across the desert is a good road now, but with the aid of the high way commission and the money raised through the bond issue there is an assurance that these roads will be made much better. In fact poor roads are a matter of the past. The Desert is to be congratulated, and the traffic of this summer will amply prove the benefits of good roads. .-Barstow Printer

The management of the FluX this week received the long expected ship ments of material, the first arrival be- ing tents and lumber for supports and flooring. The first shipment of wire for the tramway followed. Two car loads of lumber and car containing a motor truck came the middle of the week. A temporary camp has been established in the lower part of the canyon. A small number of men are at present employed and it will be some time before the company put any more on. Superintendent Collie has already received more applications from men wanting employment than be used when the mine and mill are working to their full capacity. Santa Cruz Patagonian.
