No osmoke Of Battle" Now.

One Of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the alb
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when a rife is dis
charged. while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible hundred yards
away and disappears within few sec
onds after the gun is fired Only
when shrapnel or a shell explodes in
the enemy's line is there anything Wis
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive of the wars OF
the past. has little meaning when APP
piled to a modern war.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

The legislative members from the various counties have introduced bills covering the salaries of county officers. These measures have an emergency clause to them which predicate the early enforcement of the new measures, although it is quite plain that each and every one of them would be uncon- stitutional. No chanGe can be made in the salary of incumbents either for bet ter or worse, according to the con- stitution, and it matters not If an emergency clause is tackled onto the measures or not, it would not change the constitutional provision. And right here we will say that no special legls- lation for the fixing of salaries of county officers can be constitutional. The law under which salaries are now paid in the various counties is one of the most farcical that has ever been passed by a law making body. It provides that in- creasing population of a county shall operate in the curtailment of salary, and the present attempt at legislation is to continue the same condition.

Winter Doubles Work.

In summer the work of eliminating poisons and acids from the blood is help ed by precipitation. In cold weather, with little out door work or exercise to cause sweating, the kidneys have to do double work. Foley Kidney Pills help overworked, weak and diseased kidneys to filter and cast out of the blood the waste matter that causes pains in sides or back, rheumatism, lumbago, stiffness of joints, sore muscles and other ills resulting from improper elimination.

The Miner First With News.

If reader will pick up any daily or weekly newspapers of Arizona they will note that the MINER is more quoted than any other weekly paper in the state, and justly so, because it is the paper par excellence, with the first news of the progress of work on the mines and the conveyor of the first news of new strikes throughout the county or the surrounding states. The MINER does not have to go to the out side papers to get the news of what is being done on the home mines, but is always there with the goods. Hardly a mining paper in the United States goes to press without carrying in its columns rehash of the mining news made public by this paper. And the MINER is more than pleased to furnish it to them.

Judging by the big hollow of acclaim that is going up over the finding of potash in Utah these gentlemen have not heard about the big discovery of potash rock in the mountains of Mohave county. This rock has been analysed and found to contain astonishingly high percentage of potassium sulphate. Some of it is said to run better than fifty per cent and the whole mass will go above ten per cent, which is very high grade for any deposit of this charater. The potassium beds of Ger many are low grade in character, but there is an immense quantity to draw from. Some of the potassium salts have been extracted from kelp, but the process is slow, as the kelp ashes are very low in the salts.

Feel BIue-Or Just Stupid?

Sluggish bowels and torpid liver usually go together and it does not take long for constipation to produce bad conditional feeling of languor or lazi- ness---the "blues," headaches, pal pitation or other malady. Indeed, when in this condition the system invites more serious illness and is not able to throw off disease. Foley Cathartic Tablets are wholesome laxative and cleansing cathartic. They act without incon- venience, griping or sickening. H. H. Watkins, druggist.

Mrs. w. A. Mensch and son, who have been doing assessment work on the mining properties of the Enterprise M. D. and l. company the past month, were in Kingman this week on busi- ness. Mrs. Mensch believes that the company will soon be able to begin de- velopment of these properties and that they will become big producers. Veins of the group that were overlooked in the matter of development to us appear to be the best claims and we believe that with small amount of work would be producing pay ore.

List Your Stocks.

Do you, MT. Promoter, know that one of the things that is keeping the mines of Goldroad and Tom Reed in the back ground is the failure to list your stocks on eitheI the Curb or the legitimate ex- changes of the country. The listing of the stocks give them standing and widens the market for these stocks. When strike is made the stocks are boosted by the brokers and the market ing of the treasury shares, if any there be, will be more readily accomplished. We mean by this the marketing of shares in legitimate companies. Gold field, Tonopah, Cripple Creek, and in fact every successful mining camp in the world was boosted and promoted through the listing of their stocks on the exchanges. Right today if the Tom Reed was listed on the exchange it's stock would be selling around 15$, instead of 2.85$ Just think of stock paying 72 per cent year on it's par ot on doll ar selling in the market at 2.S5$. Was it on the exchange the whole sur rounding country would be boosted by it.
 We hope the other stocks will soon be listed and impetus given this big gold camp that nothing else could give it.

The ladies of the Kingman Cemetery Association have selected a site for a new cemetery in the Wallapai valley, about two and one-half miles from Kingman. The ladies have incorporat- ed the association and will either place stock in the concern or solicit sub scriptions to lay out and fence the grounds. Now, to us cemetery is one of those necessary adjuncts to town that cannot be overlooked, and while we commend the work of the ladies in attempting to remove the burial place to more suitable locality we believe that the distance to the new cemetery will be too great to be convenient. Suitability and convenience is neces- sity in the selection of cemetery site, and we would advise the ladies to se- cure place much nearer the town.

Robert Petty came in from his min ing property to the south of Little Meadows, few days ago, and reported that the mines were showing better and better as work progressed. Some of the ore shows sulphides and pans well in gold. The vein is a large one and the average value is much higher than mines that are now paying big dividends.
