The premium on gold in the countries at war ranges from l3 in Germany to 1 1-2 per cent in France. Gold is the one illusive metal in times of stress, which ought to be reason enough to make a double standard of metallic values. When the war is over we ex- pect that gold will be hid away in all sorts of places until the final settle ments have been made and the demand for it has somewhat subsided.

County Aid Sought For Bridge.

Last Sunday evening a number of gentlemen from St. George, Utah, St. Thomas and Las Veages, Nevada, ar rived in Kingman and the following day met with the Board of Supervisors for the purpose of putting before that body an application for sufficient money to build a bridge across the Virgin river near Littlefield, in this county.
 The men were D. H. Morris, of St. George; Levi Syphus, of St. Thomas and Charles Rennow and s. w. Darling, of Las Vegas. The gentlemen made the trip to Kingman by automobile and had most pleasant trip.
 Regarding the matter of a bridge across the Virgin, this paper is not quite in line with. The Virgin river flows west, along the north line of Mo- have county, and enters the county through West or Virgin mountains, to the east of Littlefeld. For some time the people of that section have been trying to empound the flood waters of the Virgin river and it is probable that this will be done soon. With the con- servation of the waters of that stream there would be little use for a bridge across it, and in fact to our way of thinking there is little use for it now. A bridge would not be of great value to our own people, but it might be of some value to the people of our neigh boring state. As Mohave county has enough to do to care for it's own roads and bridges we do not think money should be spent in the exploitation of the counties of the neighboring states. Not one single part of the mooted road passes into Mohave county, with the exception of a small angle at Littlefield. Its benefit to the county is so shadowy that it will have to be looked into with caution by our county dads. And as none of our supervisors have ever visit ed that section of the county, the board

Unsanitary Wells.

Dr. T. R. White, local health officer, this week received from the laboratory of the University of Arizona a report on thirty samples of water, taken from wells and water tanks around the town. While none of these showed coli bacteria, they all showed an excess of bacteria. Water that carries in excess of 800 bacteria per c. c. is suspicious. The lowest of the samples is the Power Plant well, while the highest is that of the County Farm. A we'll of Anson H. Smith, far removed from contamina- tion with the cess pools and sewerage of the town, has more than 1500 per c. C., which would indicate that possibly some other source than that of sewer age is the basis of contamination. It is a problem that will require looking into from an authorative source. It will be understood that this basin re- ceives it's water flow from the moun- tains, the water passing between the granite and volcanic contact. The lava flow lies in flat sheets, the greater part being basaltic. Through these flow sheets all manner of contamination could be spread to the wells and neces- sitate inquiry into the source of the water supply primarily.
 The following is the result of the analysis:

of supervisors is to send the chairman of the board, o. E. Walker and Major Wright, county engineer, to Littlefeld to look into the matter. And if a bridge is necessary to the welfare of the people in that part of the county,
 here is no reason why they should not lave it. But with the knowledge we low have we do not think it is neces- ,ary.

F. w. Horton, representing the U. S. Bureau of Mines, arrived in King man this morning and has gone out to the molybdenite mines in Copper Can yon, where he will look over the prop critics and secure photographs of the mines for forthcoming monograph on molybdenum. MT. Horton was at the mines nearly two years ago and was then of the opinion that they were the greatest bodies of that metal in ex- istence. Since that time he has tried out many methods of handling the ores, and while he has succeeded with wulfe- nite he was only moderately successful with molybdenite, although he is sure to make good separation by chemical methods.

Does 1t Pay to Advertise.

Kingman has number of mercantile firms that are said to be doing a large business with the people of the town and county, but only one or two of them appear to believe in advertising. Each year there is sent out of Mohave county more than 100, O,OOO$ to the big firms of the country for inferior goods, because these big firms believe in ad- vertising and bring to the notice of the people the goods that they want.

Bilious Attacks.

When you have a bilious attack your liver fails to perform it's functions. You become constipated. The food you eat ferments in your stomach in stead of digesting. This inflames the stomach and causes nausea, vomiting and terrible headache. Take Cham berlain's Tablets. They will tone up your liver, clean out your stomach and you will soon be as we'll as ever. They only cost quarter. Obtainable every where.

Dan s. Richards this week made the first proof covering Wallapai Valley lands that has ever been sent to the land office. The lands are situated on the Stockton Hill road, about three miles north of Kingman. The ranch has been seeded to oats, wheat and fetterie and over 100 fruits trees have been set out. The trees are now in bearing and it is expected that a con- siderable crop will be gathered.

Fred Stull has been having the Pay roll mine, at Chloride, unwatered and it is possible that this old mining prop erty will again be operated. The Pay roll had an immense body of lead ore in its surface crop, but when the shaft was sunk to the 400 the people in charge failed to cut the ore and quit The exploration at the 400 was so con- tracted that it is possible that the ore body might have been found had the work been extended. It is understood that this work is to be carried a con- siderable distance and that crosscuts will be run. Should the ore body be opened the mine will prove one of the big things of the district.
 The work of bling Fourth street from the railroad to the Courthouse is we'll under way. The road workers are fast getting that thoroughfare in shape and when completed will be one of the finest streets of the State.

say in this country, Unfair Competi-

This first referendum. which was, of
course, interrupted by the war, was
to have been followed by the submits

What these referenda might in time
come to embrace, after the world had
recognized the possibilities that lie in

by the fact that the International
