MORE EVIDENCE OF GOOD TIMES COMING
 BACK ID OATNAN
Ten passengers coming in to one

Ten passengers coming in to one
 going out.
 This is almost beyond the belief of
 the most optimistic, but it is the re-
 suit of an actual count and observa-
 tion of young man, whose name does
 not matter, but who has taken the
 trouble to keep tab on the people com
 ing and going on auto stages and
 other cars bringing people to oat- man.
 "We sold 5000 worth Jf lumber Saturday," said J. M. Higman, of the Higman Lumber company, after read ing the passing words of approval on the Daily Miners article of Sunday telling of restored business conditions. ''In fact" continued he, i've did good business in July and have no complaint to make. It is true that there are dull periods of a day or two or few days, but when we can make sales like those of Saturday every one will admit that Oatman is not so bad"
 That's right" sald NJ. E. Johnson, real estate dealer, i've have hardly any houses at all. The demand is greater than the supply. Things are looking better and there is no doubt about it."
 Walter A. Lord explains that in the jewelry business it is "between sea sons" period, but says that by making a special effort the business is to be had. This verdict, he says, comes from his satisfactory experience in special sale that he has launched.
 Every time a restaurant closes, which has occurred some two or three times recently, there is a new one to take its place. There are as many eat ing houses as ever and apparently the new ones are getting their share in direct ratio to the kind of meals they serve. In that respect the restaurant business is peculiar. It is the one business where people will find the restaurant that provides good meals md in Oatman as elsewhere everyone las to eat once in awhile.
 Lovin & Withers and the Arizona Stores company have made substan- ial reductions covering all necessities tnee having gone on 8 cash basis, and hey are as busy as cranberry mer- .hants." Flour that before sold at '2.65 50-pound sack now is offered or $2.25 and other things in propor- ion. When $5 worth of goods are 'ought a 50 cent package of sugar s given free. Other features go to how that under the cash system mon V has a means of transmitting its houghts, which, in common parlance, s that money talks" It also seems hat the day of the general public pay ng the bills of the ones who buy on ( redit and never pay has taken its glad I eparture from Oatman. Also that C onesty hath its reward, even on S arth. It likewise helps in a general of the better times that q re being thrust upon Oatnlan ahead s f schedule time, even in midsummer. h

BETTER TIMES IN
 OATMAN OBSERVED BY
 MANY BUSINESS MEN

That better times have already
 come hack to oatman, being well
 enough under way to eliminate all
 chance for a mistake in their identi-
 fication, is the opinion of various busi-
 ness people, with whom the Daily
 Miner correspondent has discussed the
 question. Auto stage men claim the
 inbound passenger traffic shows a dis
 tinctive balance of trade toward Oat-
 man rather than outbound, as it was
 in the early part of July. Employees
 of the two large general mercantile stores testify that there is a decided change for the better in trade and that people are more numerous in the the residential regions of the town. Various others in a position to know give corroborative testimony.
 "For a week or two after the Fourth," said W. F. Brong of the Oat- man Auto Supply company, things were pretty dull and it looked really discouraging, but from that time a change has been perceptible with a gradual improvement until now we are doing fine business. It looks to me like oatnan is going to be great from now on and, if it keeps up as it surely will, we are up against a proposition of enlarging our business. We will not have enough room and will>have to prepare for the increase that is be- ing forced upon us."
 At the present time," said Earl Black of the Black Brothers Broker age company, Eve have only two or three vacant houses of any description It was but a short time ago that we had over a dozen. For several days we have been trying to get a house Oatman and Mazona with electric lights and water, but are un- able to secure one.
 Tt seems that the New York min ng market is picking up and it causes he people of Arizona and elsewhere % think that Oatman is on the map. The natural result is for theTd to tart coming and with the tide once turned it does not take long to re- tore former favorable conditions and make them even better than before.
 My other brother, Murray J. Black, yill be here Tuesday from Los An ,eles to assist us in our business. It ras my intention to leave as soon as e came, but with our increased busi- ess Icannot do it at present. It will axe the three of us to attend to hings, for we are too busy now"
 A salesman for the Arizona Stores ompany stated that he could notice
 far less number of unoccupied ouses and said business is starting if with much more snap than last lonth. He stated that he knew of ,t of new people who had come in nd various others returning and re- inning their former activities where iey left off. Virtually the same ,atemsnts were made by representa- yes of Lovin & Withers.
 Louie Polin, local representative of olin brothers of Goldfeld and Oat- an, says business in the newspaper nd stationery line is much better than
 was in July and he believes from all dications that it is going to be lot ,tter hereafter.

Dr. T. R. White was here from Kingman for several hours Monday afternoon. He says he regretted to leave Oatman, but likes his new loca- tion, which is not so new with him, having practiced medicine at King man before.
Mohave County miner., 1916-08-12

You can see them on every corner.
 The result of it is going to be that next time the people have a vote on it they are going to close up this state tighter than a drum. There is no other county in the state as bad as this and Oatman I am sure is the worst town for it in Arizona"

EX-SENATOR 7. NJ. PATTERSON
DIES AT HIS HOME IN COLORADO
Prominent Democrat and Newspaper
Owner Succumbs in Denver

DENVER, July 24.-Thomas Macdonald
Patterson, United States Senator from
Colorado from 1901 TO 1907, Is dead at his
home here. Mr. Patterson was Demo-
crat of national prominence and close
friend of William Jennings Bryan. He was
the owner of the Denver Times and the
Rocky Mountain News.
Thomas NJ. Patterson was born in County
Carlow, Ireland, November 4, 1870. with
his parents he came to America In 1853.
and after a short residence in New York
the family moved to Charlottesville. Ind,
where Thomas worked for some time in a
printing office. He enlisted at the first call
for troops in the Civil War, but on account
OF poor health served only a few months.
His education was received at De Pauw
University. then called Asbury College, and
at wabash College.
After leaving college Mr.. Patterson prao-
tlced law in Indiana. In 1872 he moved to
Denver. where he formed a partnership
with Charles S. Thomas, who later became
his chief opponent In his senatorial cam
palgn. This partnership lasted a year, but
was resumed in 1879 and lasted until 1890.
In 1874 Mr.. Patterson was chosen Ter.
ritorial Delegate to Congress and greatly
aided in securing Statehood for Colorado
In 1876 he was sent back to Congress as
Representative, and at the end of his term
resumed the practice Of law in Denver.
in 1899 Mr.. Patterson was delegate to
the National Democratic Convention, at
which he made strong fight for the adop-
ton of a free silver plank. Being unsuc-
cessful, he led the bolt against Cleveland
which carried the State OF Colorado for
Weaver. In 1896 he was a delegate to the
Populist National Convention. which in
dorsed Bryan, and in 1900 he was perma-
hent chairman Of the convention of that
party.
Mr.. Patterson's wife. who was Miss Rath-
erine Grafton, of watertown, N. Y, died in
1902

say. eminent chemist. is dead at his resi-
dence, Beechcroft, Hazlemere. Bucks.
Sir William Ramsay, who was born In
Glasgow on October 2, 1883, was known
among his fellow scientists as man OF
brilliant imagination and daring concep-
tions It was in 1907 that Sir williams
announcements concerning radium set at
each other the electricians and chemists OF
the British Association for the Advance.
ment OF Science In 1918 Sir William and
Professors Collie and Patterson startled
the world by an announcement Of the pos
sIbility of the transmutatlons of one ee-
ment into another.
Sir William, however, had become inter-
nationally famous earlier than any OF the
dates above. His work with Lord RayieiRh
on the solution of the problem concerning
the differences in density between atnos-
pheric nitrogen and that obtained from
compounds led to the discovery of argon In
1897 The periodic law Immediately sug-
gested tho existence of a number Of other
elements of the same type and Sir william
succeeded In short time in discovering
helium. Three further elements Of the same
Eroap-neon. krypton and xenon-were aft
erward discovered by Sir William asso-
ciated with Morris W. Travers
AS the result of an Investigation fol-
lowing Becuuerels discovery of the dark
rays of uranium, Sir William made his
greatest discovery-that OF the apparent
transmutation of one element into another.
The gaseous emanation of radium. which
at first had behaved as an entirely new
body, showed after some time the spec.
troscopic lines of helium and, finally, II was
definitely proved that radium in its spon.
taneous decomposition produced helium in
perfectly regular way.
Sir william, whose great discoveries
came as professor of chemistry at Uni
veraitv College London, was the recinient
of many honors. In 1902 he was created a
Knight Commander of the Bath and two
years later was awarded the Nobel prize
for chemistry.
