DEVILS DAUGHTER AND
 THEDA BARA AT LAMARA

In the balmy sunlight and subtropi- cal settings of St Augustine, Florida, entrancing scenes of D'Annunzio's The Devils Daughter" based on La Giacon- da, in which the celebrated Theda Bara is starred, were photographed under the direction of Frank Powell. This is surpassngly beautiful picture by the author of Cabiria. In addition to it's powerful story and its superb acting and direction. the drama unfolds plot of tremendous strength.
 The original intention of MT. Fox was to send the entire company with Miss Bara to Naples. but the war in terfered with the plans and after d careful scouting of the entire country, the vicinity of St. Augustine was chosen.
 This picture will be the feature at the Lamara theater for four days be- ginning today It is five reel film of surpassing strength. more enthralling than "A Fool There Was" and it is said by many that Miss Bara is greater in this than she was in the other. The Devils Daughter" tells a story of a de- signing but wonderfully beautifully woman plying her vengeance against the opposite sex for some real or fan cied wrong. In her work she is a Verit- able daughter of the devil breaking up homes, alternating husbands and wives and Wrecking the lives of promising young men.

May Rlossomr

Another celebrated dramatic suc cess has been converted into even a greater film triumph in the Famous Players Film Company's four-part adaptation of David Belasco's illustri ous domestic drama. May Blossom" the current Paramount release at tbo Arizona. Nss May Blossom" was Mir. Belasco'. first eastern success. and made that genius 'of the stage an important fac tor i'm theatricals throughout the country. Written by him two or three decades ago, it is still called by rany his greatest play. II was one of the first dramas produced in New York that ran at one theater for more than year-a record in those days nothing short of phen- omenal.
 When the play and it's varied qualities are analysed this fact does not seem surprising. It possesses d virility ard originality thoroughly American. and introduces a romance as sweet and fragrant as the title of the play. Its characters are all fam liar in our daily life. and it's events and episodes those that might happen in our own homes or the homes of our friends. It is this naturalness. this adherence to the realities, that made the original drama so acccp- table to audiences throughout the country.
 In the film version the important scenes of the play have been exten- sively ampIified and the interest threfore greatly incrased Produced in California, the scenic surroundings formed an adequate background for the photo production peculiarly aq- propriate to the title, May BIos- son."

people that would like to see needy and ill men or women go uncared for, but at the same time there are many who would like to put the board of super visors in hole. While most of the people in the Mohave county hospital are above the sixty years limit, there are many living off the bounty of the people far under that age, and their monthly stipend would be cut off under the pension law. Let us hope, anyway, that this measure will bring some good in the way of bringing the people to their senses, so that in future they will con over any measure that comes up for their support, either as referen- dunn or initiated measure.

The legislators at the capital have
 been putting forward a number of measures that hit at the Mothers Pen sion act, one of the initiated laws that was voted for at the last election, but each and all overlook the fact that under the initiated law it cannot be either vetoed nor repealed by the legis- lature, wherefore the only way to reach
 it and prevent it getting in its nefarious work is to call special election. This election would cost money, but at the same time it may be the best invest ment the state may make. Supervisors of the various counties are liable for all moneys paid out on account of the care and maintenance of the indigents under the sixty years limit, and it is possible that they may refuse to take chances on spending money for the county farms and hospitals.

The work on the new shaft of the Frisco Gold Mines company is going along swimmingly and it is said that ex- cellent ore is being opened. The com pany is expected soon to begin active work on all of its properties. The mines owned by that corporation are among the most promising in the coun- try, but they need development to bring the production expense down to the minimum.

A bill has been introduced in the legislature by MT. Farrell of Santa Cruz county which proposes to exempt mining claims from liens. This measure is good one, not only be- cause it is a just one, but also because it will greatly aid the poor prospector and small mine owner bringing in money for development purposes with out running the risk of losing his claim. The present lien law has done more to stop development of mining property than any other measure and the sooner it is put on the black list the better it will be for the people of the state. The present law is one that strikes at the mine owner. If the same law related to the owner of farm not one farm in the state today would be operated under lease, as the owner would not take chances. As it is the farmer is protected in his ownership, while the mine owner is made responsible for all debts of the operator under lease or option. A farmer leases his farm, and

Monday last in company of G. R. Franklin the MINER editor visited Gold Road, Oatman and Needles. While mining is looking up at Goldroad the town appears to be quite quiet, and the same condition is observable at Oat- man. Miners are well employed, but there is not much room for new men in and around these camps. It is expect ed that within the next few weeks some more men will be put on the out lying properties and things livened to some extent. At Needles there is not much improvement in business on ac- count of the lack of freight on the Santa Fe. Among the merchants only a fair condition of business exists.
 This week the editor of the MINER passed over the road between Kingman and Goldroad and while the road to Lit tie Meadows is very good that over the mountain is very bad; that is, it cannot be improved in it's present condition. A new road over the mountain is nec- essity. At the summit of the range a cut thirty feet or more in depth would be necessary to bring the road to new level, from which a grade down the west side could be carried around the big bluff at low cost. This grade would not exceed six per cent, which would be ideal for mountain road. On the east side new grade would also be had, which would be still less. At Lit tie Meadows the grade would be carried high up, coming into the old road near the Gold Road Mines company pump house. The cost of this undertaking would be small compared with the benefit that would accrue to the people of Kingman, Goldroad and Oatman, and in fact all that section of country, as it would cut the freight and passen- ger rate materially. Before anything is done competent engineer should be sent in there to make thorough sur vey of the route and make estimates of the cost.
