INSPECT KINGMAN
 ZINC PROPERTIES
cFrom Fridsr,s Daily .MIner.l )

During the last two days, A. M. Matthews, in company with Rev. Fathers B. F. Serafinas, M. Kruszas and Alex Ambrazunas, all of Chicago, have been making an examination of the properties of the Kingman Zinc company, situated on Stockton Hill. R. S. Billings, a well know mining engineer, accompanied the party for the purpose of examination and re- porting on the mines.
 MT. Matthews has raised a large sum of money in and around Chicago for the purpose of developing the company's properties and is here to again put development under way. The Kingman Zinc mines are com posed of the Shooting Star and other properties in and around it. The Shooting Star is one. of the best prop critics in the district, the vein being large, we'll defined and thoroughly mineralized. The metals contained in the ore are gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc.
 The one peculiar thing about the ores is the fact that the zinc and cop per are contained in separate streaks and can be kept clean in extraction. Development has been carried on to a depth of 200 feet and the ore body maintains it's width and value. Some development done on adjoining ground shows good values in gold and silver. With proper development the property is sure to be a winner.

MILL
 BEING TRIED OUT
From Friday's Daily MinerI

A telephone message from Supt. Stricker to John H. Conway yester- day, conveyed the information that the big engines of the Leviathan mill were tried out and worked success fully. The mill will be turned over today and a trial run will be made at once. The mill is designed to handle the molybdenum-copper pro duct of the mine, there being about a million dollars worth of this class of ore in sight.
 While the mine has only been de- veloped to the 10O-foot level below an adit drift it has revealed some of the most wonderful ore bodies in the county. The drift on the 1O0-foot level has been carried on the vein about 400 feet, all in ore. Wherever a crosscut has been run the ore body has been found to be from 15 to 20 feet wide, and all milling grade. A raise from the 100-foot level to the adit level passed through splendid ore, although the roof of the drift was practically barren at the point of round of holes broke through the bar ren ground and to the level above splendid ore was found. The com pany also has other veins that give nearly as great promise on the surface as the Leviathan. These will be cut on the 5OO-foot level, when that depth is reached.

CIRCUS MAN SUSPECTED
 OF BEING GERMAN SPY
tFrom Thursday,s DaIly MIner.l

The Cole Brothers circus, which gave performances here yesterday afternoon and evening, has as it's ad- vertising manager, H. P. Kutz, who is not desirious of a second experience such as he had some months ago. The circus was showing in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan, when he had occasion to visit the Canadian side of the inter national line. He took passage on a ferry and, when descending the gang plank, was stopped by a Canadian officer and taken into detention office for examination. He was held there three hours, given the third degree and grilled thoroughly before the Canadian authorities could be made to believe that he was an American citi- zen and not a German spy.
 Mir. Kutz is a Pennsylvania Dutch man and speaks with decided accent, which aroused the suspicion of the Canadian officers. Although he had many friends even in the Canadian city he was unable to get in communi- cation with them to get their help until the officers had made a full ex- yamination.
 MT. Kutz has had varied experiences in his newspaper and circus work. He was at one time editor of one of the foremost German papers of the United States. MT. Kutz says that notwith- standing the fact that he had been about the world for many years he believes his Canadian experience stands forth as the one odd incident of his existence.

WHITE CHIEF WILL

CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.l

(krom Oatman Section Daily hiner.J
 That the Arizona White Chief has been fully financed and will resume operations at once was the announce ment made by a party of mining men and bankers who left Oatman yester- day afternoon for the coast. The men who have taken over the financing and management of the White Chief are w. P. Wagg of Los Angeles and H. H. Cogle and E. K. Buckley of Fullerton, Cal,
 They spent several days in Oatman and during that time thoroughly ex- amined the property. So much con- fdence have they in it that they have fully financed it and work will begin at once.
 The property has been closed down for several months for the lack of capital. The shaft is down 200 feet It is proposed to continue it to the 500 foot point as fast as men and machinery can do it.

INJURED MEN ARE HURRIED ID COAST
 EYE SPECIALISTS
FrOm oatman Section Daily Miner)

From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 Mike Lilies and J. R. Brown, who were badly injured Wednesday after noon at the United Eastern No. 2 shaft when Abe Lilies, brother of the former, picked into a missed hole and was instantly killed, were sent to Los Angeles yesterday afternoon for special treatment by eye specialists.
 Mike Lilies was the worst injured but he is getting along as good as could be expected and will recover, unless some complications set in. His right eye was badly cut in several places by the flying rocks and Dr. Mapes is afraid that the sight will be lost. However, it is thought that by special care by eye specialists the dght may be saved. A small rock still remains in the lower part of the pupil and if it is possible to remove 1t without further injury to the eye the sight will be saved.
 After being treated by Dr. Mapes soon after the accident Brown was able to leave the hospital but later returned on account of the intense pain in his right eye which was badly injured. He remained in the hospital over night and after further exam ination it was thought advisable to send him to Los Angeles eye special 1t
 James Chapman who was also hurt, was able to leave the hospital after his wounds were dressed. He was cut in several places about the head and face and his eyes were filled with rocks and dirt but they were not bad 1y injured.
 W. H. White, the fifth miner in the shaft at the time of the explosion was not injured. A bucket was be- tween him and the explosion and saved him from injury.
 Mike Lilies, besides the injury to his eye, was badly cut about the face and head. His chest was also cut in sev- eral places, but other than being ex- tremly painful it is thought that his injuries are not necessarily dangerous.
 The body of Abe Lilies will be buried in Kingman Sunday afternoon. A large number of friends of the de- ceased, members of the Miners Union, of which Lilies was president, will attend. Rev. Norcross of Oat- man will oficiate. Two brothers and q sister of MT. Lilies and brother of Mrs. Lilies are expected to arrive this afternoon or tomorrow. Harry Parr, George Shortley, Len Strumm, Jack McIver, Frank Wyland and "Baldy' Mason will be the pail bearers.

 The family and many friends of Roy Hamlin were plunged into deep sorrow Wednesday afternoon when they learned that the young man had suffered accidental death in a drift in the Payroll mine He was on the morn ing shift and his body, partially cov- cred with rock, was discovered when the men went to work in the mine at 3 o'clock. The accident occurred on the 400-foot level and the rock which caused his death is believed to have been precipitated on him as the result of slide. Young Hamlin was em- plOyed as a miner.
 He was 21 years old and one of the best known and liked of the younger set in the camp. He is survived by his father, mother and a sister, who recently resigned as clerk in the local postofice. The funeral arrangements will be announced later.

CAMP PROSPECTED
 FORTY YEARS AGO
FrOm ostmsn Section Daily Miner)

CFrom oatman Section Daily Minerl
 That the 0atman-Goldroad district was prospected 40 years ago has been proven by a location notice found recently by N. E. Nichols near the side lines of the old Hardy mine. A location monument, location notice and a blue print map of the claim were found by Mir. Nichols while prospect ing.
 The location monument was built high with rocks, cemented together with adobe. The map and location notice were incased in a moose hide pouch and placed inside the monument where the rain could not damage them. The moose hide pouch and the papers were but little injured by their 40-year stay in the monument. The location was made in March, 1876, and recorded the same year at Washing ton, D. c.
 The location was made by a member of the United States Cavalry which was stationed at Fort Mohave at that time. The location notice was witnes- sed by the ranking officer and two other officers. The names and rank of these officers and the name of the locator are not obtainable at this time owing to the fact that Mir. Nichols sent the papers to his home in Spring field, Illinois, soon after he found it.

PAY DIVIDENDS OF sI84,83O,l27
 IN I0 MONTHS

American mines to the number of 167 showed wonderful earning pow CTS in 1916," distributing in the first 10 months total of s1s4, ,127, says the Mining and Engineering World. ''If the dividend payments of the se- curities-holding corporations were to be included (And a large proportion could be rightfully included), the years total would reach $223, ,4SS, POS, a wonderful and convincing argument that mining, as now carried on, is one of the principal reasons for our pres ent standing at the head of the worlds greatest industrial centers. These companies paid dividends amounting to S1, ,O67, PIT, 7,O64, which with the divi- dends paid in 1916, makes a total of s1, 1,252, ,107,1 ,191. This is a return of better than 133 per cent on the com bined issued capital of the companies. When it is considered that a large number of these companies did not pay a dividend previous to 1915 or 1916, this is remarkable record and one, we believe, not duplicated by any oth- CT industry. With 60 companies par ticipating, dividends were paid to shareholders during the month total ing S16,663,3S5. This does not include the $63O,0O0 disbursed by the holding companies. The copper companies contributed s7,517,5sO of this, the gold-silver-lead-zinc companies $8,- 154,447 and the metalurgieal com panies $991, ,S5S.
 "Of the 167 companies participating in the 1916 disbursements, 42 operate copper properties, all but two in the United States, and these divided among shareholders s88, 8,28O,814. In previous years these companies paid dividends amounting to S571 ,5S0, ,726, making their total to date $659,811,- $40. This is a return on the com bined issued capital of 1S6 per cent. One hundred and nineteen properties, classified as gold-silver-lead-zinc pro ducers, paid dividends during the 10 months of 1916 amounting to S77,149,- 398. Added to dividends paid in pre- vious years bring their total to S380,- OSS, ,724, on the combined issued capi- tai of s3O9, ,979 ,O39, return of prac- tically 124 per cent.
 "Of the 119 companies mentioned above, 91 are operated in the United States, and they have to their credit in 1916 dividend payments of S64,530,-- 768. Added to the dividends paid previously brings their total to S294,- 657, ,558, a return of approximately 15O per cent on the $197 7,644,77S out standing"

MINER KILLED
 IN SHAFT NO. 2
 OF U. [. MINE
fFrOm Thursday,s pslly Miner.l

(From Thursdays Daily Miner.)
 Picking into a missed hole in the United Eastern shaft No. 2 at a depth of 665 feet yesterday caused the death of Abe Lilies and the painful injury of his brother, Mike, and the slight injury of J. H. White, James Chap man and Ike Brown.
 The men were mucking out after a round of holes. Abe Lilies was picking up the bottom when his pick struck some unexplored powder. The rock, destroying the sight of his right explosion that resulted terribly mangled Abe Lilies, causing instant death, and filled Mike Liles' face with eye. The other men were more or less injured by flying rock and debris. A bucket that stood in the shaft saved the other men from serious, if not fatal, injury. The accident occurred at 3:15 yesterday afternoon.
 Abe Lilies, who was killed by the explosion, had worked in the mine more than a year. He was 36 years of age and leaves a wife and three children. He was president of the Miners Union and the Central Labor Union of Oatman.
 The killing of Lilies is the first bad accident that has occurred in the United Eastern mine since it's ex- Ploration was begun.

 The inquest, which was scheduled for yesterday morning to ascertain the direct cause of the death of Abe Lilies, who was killed by an explosion in No. 2 shaft of the United Eastern mine Wednesday afternoon, was yesterday postponed by Coroner Sheffield pend ing the arrival of the mine inspector. Work in the shaft where the accident occurred has been suspended owing to the fact that the law requires that the mine inspector must view the place of accident before work may proceed.

MEMBERS OF COUNTRY
 CLUB HOLD MEETING
fFrom Fridays Daily Miner }


 A meeting of the Country Club was held last evening with a large num- Der of members present. The mem bership committee submitted the names of several new members. The ways and means committee presented feasible plan for the floating of the bonds for the erection of a clubhouse. As an evidence of the interest of the townspeople in the enterprise it may be well to mention that the committee found it possible to sell s4,OOO worth of bonds within a very short time.
 Many important matters were acted upon at the meeting and there is no doubt that a working plan will be adopted within the near future, after which it will be but a short time until ground will be broken for the foundation of the proposed clubhouse which will be a credit, as well as an asset, to Kingman.
 The members present unanimously agreed to be upon the golf grounds of the club Sunday morning to assist in clearing and stalking. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic thus far held and it is to be hoped that the ardor of the members will not dampen.

TRAVEL INCREASING
 ON LAS VEGAS ROUTE

A heavy travel has begun between here and Las Vegas. Most of this travel Salt Lake route. Most of this travel is by incomers from Nevada, Utah and eastern states. The roads are very poor in places on the route, but much time is saved by taking the short cut. The distance is 90 miles by road while by railroad it is several times this distance. The traveller is usually governed by either expedienee or desire for comfortable travel in deciding whether to come by auto via Las Vegas, or by train via Kingman.
