MINERAL POINT COPPER MINES
 ID RESUME
FIRST CONTRACT ON PLAN TO GO AHEAD AGAIN ON FORD HOLDINGS WAS AWARDED YESTERDAY.
(From Wednesdays Daily.l

That the Ford Mining Company is to resume o1 its holdings in Mineral Point district was the information given yesterday by the president, George o. Ford. who stated that the first contract had been awarded on Tuesday to Swan Abrahamson, for performing certain tunnel work. When this is completed. another con tract will be let. The plan oi future operating calls for extensive explora- ton. The group few years ago had been diamond drilled on the copper claims, with favorable determinations made. and the prevailing price of the red metal, Mir. Ford stated yesterday. was the inducement to reach zones heretofore explored, in which values were an inducement for development to go ahead in practical manner. It is also quite probable the gold claims will also be active in short time This movement has had the effect of stimulating individual mine owners in that field. as well as causing another company. which suspended several years ago, to consider the aivisability of resuming at an carly date.

SPEED WAVE IS
 PREVAILING IN YAVAPAI
(From Thursdays Daily.)

According to the assessment roll of Navapai county for the current year, there has been listed for taxation a total of 5S5 autos, as against 34S on the rolls of 1915. which shows a gain of 137.
 The valuation of these vehicles mas not been compiled as yet by County Assessor Gentry, and the exact sum represented will not be known until after the board of equalization passes thereon. The number of machines listed is computed to give to the coun ty at large one for every 30 inhabit- ants. passing the population at nearly l7OO0. This ratio compares favor ably with the State at large, and shows that Yavapai is holding up its end of the auto rating. Arizona being credited with having a total of 7,32O licensed machines or one for every 34 inhabitants.
 An interesting feature of this tax able commodity is also shown by the Yavapai assessment roll. all cars seg- gregated and classified into their diff ferent channels of manufacturing, showing that there are exactly 5S firms represented.
 The Ford leads with 2l0 out of the total of 5S5, and following are the Buick and Overland with 63 each, the Studebaker with 4l. the Maxwell and Cadillac, l9 each, the Hupmobile 28, and down the line with from one to five of other makes, showing that every auto manufacturing firm in the nation IS represented in this county. Of motorcycles there is listed total of 90.
 Two years ago there were on the tax rolls of this county less than S0 machines, and looking back to l4 years ago there were only two cars in commission in the county, those owned by Frank C. Foster and O. A. Hesla, both bringing in a I.ocomo- bile. They are accordingly, the auto pioneers" of Yavapai, and both still IGlGlli lllCll Oiu lllllC al uOl III DGlllS welded to the wheel" The growth of the auto in Yavapai to its present proportions can be attributed directly to its good roads, and as cortrasted with only few years ago, the rapid increase made in this article of con veyance can be measured as keeping pace with improved facilities in tray cling to all points in the county.
 According to late issue of the Automobile, of New York City, good roads of California have placed that State far in the lead of any other di- vision of the nation. with a total oi l63,S0l machines, or one for every Is inhabitants. In contrast with Cali fornia, Arkansas has bad roads and accordingly shows up on the list with only one machine to every 2l5 in habitants. All Pacific Coast States have one auto to every g persons. while the remainder of the United States has one auto to every A per sons.

R|CHENbAR GOLD ID BEGIN B|G
 OPERATIONS
SEVERAL MONTHS INVES- TIGATING OLD WORK INGS SHOW ATTRAC- TIVE ORE BODIES.
(Fronl Wednesdays DaiIy.)

According to advices received a few days ago from New York City the Richenbar gold mines, cf Black Can yon district, will soon be actively operated.
 Captain F. A. Seeley, who is indi- vidually behind this movement. has had employed for several months h small force of miners, to ascertain actual conditions in the old workings and results given are reported as sU satisfactory that future operating plans will be enlarged A new wagon road from Cordes is to be built. by which traffic will be carried on in and out of the camp, readily and economi- cally. Tine Richenbar holdings were active many years ago. and the gold production was heavy. Primitive methods were employed in mining in that day. and with the new machinery to be introduced the property may be said to have an excellent future. The old mill is to be rebuilt and modern ized, and a new era Of operating will supersede the old.
 Captain Seeley entered tnis field about year ago. coming from Mcxi- co. from which country he was driven out with many other American min ing operators on account of war con ditions. At that time he was heavily interested in mining in that country.

 Prevailing prices for cattle run to as high as $40 per head for two-year- olds. and up to $55 per head for threes. Many rangemen are reported as averse to selling two-year-olds at $50, preferring to hold them to re- ceive a bigger price than is now offer ed. A season Of exceptional prosper ity faces the rangemen, owing to q very favorable situation in grazing and the lightest losses last Winter ever known. cattle being in splendid condition at the present time.
