TRUCK TO
MAKE DAILY TRIPS

Every morning at o'clock a new
Stevens-Duryea truck, with a capacity
of ton and half, will leave King
man for Oatman and on the return
trip will leave Oatman at noon.
By special arrangement this truck
starts at this early hour to bring
copies of the Mohave Daily Miner to
its readers in Oatman. The first trip
was yesterday morning and at 6:3O the
papers were in Oatman and being sold
on the streets by the newsboys, the
earliest they ever reached here.
The owner and driver of the truck is
R. o. Stokoe. He is a thoroughly re-
liable young man, with the ego" in
him and a good mechanic. He prom
ises to make the trip between King
man and Oatman in three hours, but
on his first tryout lowered the time
to two and half hours.
While the expense of making his
trips on such a schedule is consider
able and is freely borne by the Daily
Miner, it is not the sole object of Mr..
Stokoe and would not cover the
amount he is entitled to as an income
commensurate with his enterprise. If
it were merely to carry the papers it
would be a runabout or a motorcycle.
But he is after express and freight
business, as much as he can get of It
up to a ton and a half each way every
day. Leaving Oatman at noon as he
does it gives him chance during busi-
ness hours to attend to errands for
patrons at either end. Already he has
the promise of other carrying business
than that of this newspaper and he is
entitled to it. 1t is to the interest of
business men of both towns to take ad-
vantage of this exceptional opportuni-
ty. 1t means much for the trade rela-
tions of the two towns.

CONTRACTORS LEAVE
MANY UNPAID BILLS
IFrOm Wednesdays Daily MinerI

Many creditors of Messrs. Richard
son and Butterworth, contractors, are
mourning their departure from King
man. They were paid a large sum of
money last Saturday by Mrs. Mary
Eleanor Cohenour on several building
contracts, and Immediately left the
town. 1t was thought that they had
gone to a neighboring town to look
after some contracts and on their re-
turn would pay off merchants and
builders claims, but they failed to
return.
Material dealers, merchants, and
others were mulcted in various sums.
Even a poor old Mexican woman was
defrauded of $40. In all more than
$1,000 was secured by the men. They
had been building and contracting for
houses in Kingman for several months
and had established unlimited credit.
Under the laws of the state the
men may be brought back, if appre-
hended, and prosecuted.

MANY NEW BUILDING
ON TENNESSEE AVE-.
GFrom Chloride Section Daily Miner.I

IFrom Chloride Section Daily miner.I
The past few days has shown a won
derful improvement along Tennessee
avenue. Commencing with the new
front of the Chloride store, which
greatly adds to the beauty of the
street, the dance pavilion, just to the
north of the main avenue, is in opera
tion. North of the latter is the pro-
duee shop of Royse & Boyd, which is
filling a long felt want. Next to this
place is "Smoky's" restaurant. Drop
ping back to Tennessee, the new Oh
sen furnishing store is almost ready
to open its doors. Continuing west at
least a dozen small places are con-
structed or under construction.
The largest proposed building in
the heart of the business district is
that to be constructed by Marion ].
Aubineau, who will build a freproof
building at Tennessee and Second
streets. When completed it will be
occupied by drug store intended to
be the finest pharmacy west Of Phoe-
nix. Mr.. Aubineau will lease his pres
ent store as soon as he moves into the
new quarters.

mine. That his labOrs have been re-
warded at such a comparatively shall
10 wdepth (12O feet) is a matter of
congratulation, not only to him and
the owners of adjoining claims, but to
the whole camp. The Herald has been
telling its readers that there were
scores of old properties in the Cerbats,
worked at a profit by Chloriders in the
early days, which only needed linn
tied expenditure of capital to put them
again in the producing class, and now
we have the satisfaction of saying:
Didn't tell you So"
There are otner good propositions
open, and now is the time to get into
the game. The man with real money
cannot do better than take a hand
right now. It's a fair game-an in
teresting game, and profitable game.
The hot air artist who cannot buy
chips had better stay out.
In connection with the Schenectady,
a pretty good story is told on one of
the old timers who is still living here.
1t seems, that years ago, he was
wrongfully suspected of having appro-
priated to his own use a quantity of
good ore which had been left on the
dump. A warrant was issued and the
sheriff escorted him to the county bas-
tile at Mineral Park. Business had
been dull at this hotel and the jailer
made him this proposition:
''You are not busy just now and l
am lonesome as HI. Why not stay
here with me instead of giving bond ?
l will give you good grub, and you can
go uptown whenever you feel the need
of liquid refreshment."
This appealed to the old timer, and
he remained there for a whole month,
getting three squares every day and
plenty of drinks. He was then tried,
and, of course, acquitted.

(Chloride Herald)

In the early days, maybe 80 years
ago, the Chloriders worked only $500
ore at the Schenectady, and many
thousands of dollars worth of high
grade was shipped. Great things
were predicted of the property if it
should ever be properly explored; and
this week the prophets are smiling
contentedly.
On Monday Manager Heath encoun-
tered bonanza metal at the bottom of
the 12O-foot shaft. The ore is an ex-
act duplicate of that coming from the
14OO-foot level of the Tennessee, with
this addition-it carries wire silver in
appreciable quantity, in clusters and
streaks. A sample not showing any
silver assayed S111.4O. The represen-
tative of the Herald was on the ground
as soon as the strike was reported,
and before the smoke had fully cleared
away. The last shot disclosed from
eight to ten inche sof this fine ore, and
there is every indication that it is
the apex of big chute of ore, which
may make of the Schenectady a rival
of its big neighbor, the Tennessee.
The owners of properties in this
basin have always insisted that many
of the best veins in the camp-the
Tennessee, the North Georgia, the
Payroll, the Minnesota Conners and
others centered in this special locality,
and that there would be immense ore
chutes disclosed if ever the properties
were properly explored, and their faith
seems to be fully justified.
The Schenectady was patented when
very slightly developed and has re-
manned dormant for years, until Mr.
Heath, recognizing its possibilities,
took a bond and lease and induced
some of his Colorado friends to join
him in Transforming it into a real

MELONS FIGURE IN

1t was not a public nor private
watermelon party - as much as one
may have thought. The sack of wa
termelons and canteloupes taken up
into the Bank of Oatman building
Wednesday was used in the justice
court merely as evidence in the trial
of a case and not one of them was
tapped to ascertain whether or not
ripe.
C. A. Whipple, who has a ranch
down along the Colorado river, has
missed lot of melons lately. He says
over $3.50 worth. He laid in wait
many long and weary day and night
trying to discover which way the mel
ons were travelling to get beyond his
boundary fences. Finally he happen
ed to be on hand at the same time
that Manuel Ortus and Antonio Rico
were there with a wheeled vehicle and
making away with several sacks of
lucious fruit. They are understood
to have thought we'll of Whipple's va
rieties and to have complimented him
privately on the fact that nobody else
around there had ever raised melons
equal to his. But Whipple was not
so amiable over the coincidence of
meeting his admirers and in more or
less of a rage he came to Oatman
and swore out a warrant before JUS
tice of the Peace ]. NJ. Francis and
had his visitors hailed into court. The
trial was held and Artus and Rico
pleaded not guilty but were the only
witnesses in their own behalf and
were found guilty.
The court further conceded with the
complaining witness, Mr.. Whipple, by
giving each of the accused men 30
days in the county Jail or an option of
paying a fine of $50 each.

BUILDS ROAD TO THE
DIAMOND JOE PROPERTY

George E. Wilkinson, of the Dia-
mona Joe mine, was in Kingman yes
terday. He reports that he has built
a road from the Leviathan road to
within a short distance of the Dia-
mond Joe, and that he is just now en-
gagged in widening it out to bring in
a truck for haulage purposes. He has
driven his automobile over the road,
but has to make improvements to al
low a heavy truck to go in. Mr..
Wilkinson is of the opinion that ship
ments of ore will be made as soon as
the road is open for truck haulage. He
has opened up great ore bodies in the
mine, many of which are rich in lead,
silver and copper.

QUARTZ AND GYPSUM
IN CASH ENTRY SHAFT

A lot of silicified material is ap-
pearing in the shaft of the Cash Entry
and it looks so well to Superintendent
James Curtin that he would be little
surprised to run into a ledge at any
moment.
The appearance of gypsum interests
him especially. 1t was the forerunner
of one of the best strikes in the camp,
he says, and upon this evidence he
bases his hopes for something unusual
once the ledge is struck. However,
he did not expect the ledge this soon,
and he may, in fact, be a long way
from it yet. The shaft is down 140
feet, and he estimates that it will take
$50 feet to encounter the ledge. The
dip on the surface appears to be al
most negligible, it being so nearly
vertical as to be less than S5 degrees.
Mr.. Curtin brought some of the
altered material to town yesterday. It
is a peculiarly plastic substance and
dissolves under pressure Of the
fingers. It is a pure white. The gyp-
sum and spar are a mixture in the
same matrix as the particles Of
quartz.

UNWATERING OF THE
EMPIRE COMPLETED
LFrOm Chloride Section Daily Miner.l

From Chloride SectlOn Dally mlner.l
The old Empire mine, located about
one mile north of the Elkhart, and
marking the northerly limit of the pro-
ducing section, has been recently un-
watered and cleaned out by its present
owners, the United States Smelling
company. The shaft is about 165 feet
deep, and good ore has just been
struck on the 15O-foot level. 1t was a
good producer in the early days, be-
ing the first patented claim in the
camp, and having record of from
$4,000 to 100000, and paid well
from the grass roots down. The ore
is galena and horn silver. The re-
cent discovery takes it out of the
ranks of the "has beens" and puts it
with the Schenectady in the revenue
producing class.

EAST WANTS MINING
INVESTMENTS, SAYS
ALLEN |. BURRIS
LFrOm Oatman Section Daily Miner.I

lrrOm Oatman Section Daily miner.l
eff it's an interview you want, make
it a good one" said Allen L. Burris
yesterday upon arrival in town from
the Pioneer mine, where he had stop
ped day or so after returning from
an extended tour of eastern financial
centers.
'Not bad at all; nothing wrong
about it, he stated in reply to a ques-
ton as to how money matters ap-
peared to be shaping themselves there.
Securities in motors and war muni-
tions have about had their inning and
investors are ready for something
else.
"There is great interest in mining,
and in Oatman. Arizona stands in
favor and will get the money for de-
velopment."
ais it on account of our blue sky
law?" Mr. Burris was asked.
''I am too much of a reactionary to
wish to be quoted on that" said he
jestingly. "No, it is not on account
of the blue sky law"
"Or is it on account of the great
tonnages of ore in the mines, and the
fair milling averages?" said the re-
porter.
''That's it; that is the reason"
answered he. ''The great volume,
length, width and average value of ore
in the United Eastern and what has
been taken out of the Tom Reed and
Goldroad, these are what have at
tracted attention and are causing in
vestors to look this way"
'Is it large or small money!"
''Big money. The men with lots of
money are the ones investing in min
ing, and where the big ones go you
can depend that the public will follow.
ain every city of the east the men
of large capital have their ears to the
ground for mining opportunities; for
properties that have a chance of max
ing mines. 1t would surprise you
where the money is coming from. 1t
is from a class of investors that you
would least suspect"
"Are there not such opportunities
in the vicinity OF the Pioneer mine
where you are interested?" he was
asked.
"Oh, yes, fine. There are some
great prospects there that with de-
velopment will be mines, just the kind
the eastern capitalists are looking
for"
Mr.. Burris stated that his own min
ing interests were not far enough
along as to financing to make a state
ment with reference to them, but that
it would only be a matter of little
more time when he would have other
information to give out.
He left in the afternoon for Los
where he goes on account of
further negotiations affecting the fl
nancing of his mining projects.

erty, has received shipment of a
Slower 1S-horsepower hoist, 300 feet

The equipment will be installed inn
mediately to facilitate the sinking of
the main shaft to the 3OO-foot level,
to which point the shaft will be

The Chloride boosters were in King
man today arousing interest in the
big dance to be given by the Chamber
of Commerce next Tuesday. If any
young lady of Kingman was not in
vited it was because the boys did not
catch sight of her. They returned in
the evening, reporting that they were
treated royalty by the Kingman folk,
who promised to turn out in great
numbers to help make the event a
complete success.

WATER IN TOWNE
GREATLY REDUCED
IFrem Chloride Section Daily Miner.I

Water in the No. shaft of the
Towne mine has been reduced in the
shaft to a distance of $50 feet. The
shaft is 23O feet deep. The manage
ment is working two shifts and ex-
poets to have the mine dry within the
next 10 days. Active operations will
commence as soon as the shaft is clear
of water.
Mining men predict that the Towne
will attract much attention to that
part of the district, as it has a record
production of over $1,2O0,000 in the
past. The ore values are almost all
gold with some silver. The gold val
ues follow an arsenical pyrite, which
is a primary mineral. S. S. Jones,
former superintendent of the Tom
Reed, at Oatman, will direct the work
of development.

Il found the wand and they all
thanked me. telling me that 1 could find
them by the pond every night at mid
night or ear that time.'
When the fairies came to the pond
That night they were surprised to see
hundreds of heads sticking out Of the
water. and still more surprised when
the big fish made known his strange
request.
w cannot do a thing for you our
selves" said the queen. because you
must have a house in the water and
We cannot work where it is wet, but
We will see the gnomes and see what
they can do for you"
But h gnomes could do nothing
and the fairies went next to the COB
Inns.
w cannot work with water al,
around US" said the goblins. IF they
want to live where it is damp but not
all water we will see what we can do"
So the fairies It'd the fishes what
the collins said. but that would not
DO. IT must be a house that holds
water" said the big fis--.
We might try to see the cave
witch" said the queen. she knows
everything. Even If she cannot do it
herself, she knows how 1t car be
brought about"
So they went to the cave witch.
No. I cannot do it." she told them:
but you ask Jack Frost. He is a
snappy fellow. and I am sure he will
think Of a way to help your friends
So all the little fairies put on their
fur hoods and coats and overshoes and
away they went to Jack Frost.

And that was all he would tell them:
so h fairies went back to che pond
and delivered the message.
1t Is of no use to ask Tack Frost
when he will do a thing" said the
queen. He works Just when he feels
like 1t. but he will do 1t some time"
