DOUBLE DOSE OF
 BASEBALL WILL BE
 STAGED ON SUNDAY

On Sunday afternoon the sport lovers of Mohave County will have a comedy treat in the shape of a bah game between teams of 'has-beens" and never-wassers" for the benefit of the new hospital fund.
 The managers of the two teams guarantee that the performance will be a scream from start to finish and have engaged two surgeons, six nurses and an ambulance to take care of the injured. As all practice before the game is prohibited and the pitch ing staff has not been in the box since '76, there might be few cracked "domes", though from the collections of "solid ivory" in the balance of the lineups, there seems to be little dan ger. Both teams are well provided with substitutes so there is little chance of the game being delayed by accidents that may occur.
 The line up for the battle royal fol- lows:
 G. R. Franklin's Gang
 Mert Wagner, pitcher; c. A. War ren, catcher; Thomas Devine, first base; George Morgan, second base; Bill Rivers, third base; Bill Klein, right field; Harry Jones, shortstop; Jim Parker, centerfeld; Jay Gates, leftfeld.
 Substitutes: Ray Franklin, Levy Anderson, H. H. Watkins, Harry Knight, H. W. Zeering, Ora Grunnin- ger, Ike Bartholomew and J. B. Wright of Kingman, L. H. Foster and c. W. Boris of Oatman and B. D. Morris and c. B. Cravens of Chloride.
 Judge Ellis Team
 Marshall Harris, catcher; s. D. Stewart, pitcher; Stewart Thompson, short stop; Hubert Smith, first base; Ira George, second base; Sumner Beecher, third base; L. Hoffman, cen terfeld; w. L. Linfeld, leftfeld-
 Substitutes: c. W. Lynch, c. N. Nickell, Charles Granger, Yin For tune, J. E. Perry, c. J. Walters, J. W. Fettes, John A. Ellis and Anson H. Smith of Kingman, W. K. Smith, Jack McIver and H. McPherson of Oatman and Anthony McCauley of Chloride.
 Immediately following the "nine- reel comedy" the Kingman's real team will play the Seligman boys. Kingman won the last game with that nine. The Seligman boys have since strengthened their team and expect to even up the score.
 The business men of Kingman have arranged to pay the expenses of the Seligman team and all who attend the double event will surely get treat of both rusty and up-to-date clean althle- tic sport.

FORMER MOHAVE COUNTY
 RESIDENT DIES ON COAST

Report comes from San Diego of the death of Jack Little, at one time a resident of this county. Death was due to cancer, with which he was afflicted for many years.
 MT. Little came to Mohave county from Montana and became interested in the mines of the Cerbat section. About ten years ago he sold the Horseshoe group and invested in San Diego realty. He was a genuine west erner and had many warm friends through this county who will sincerely regret his death.

streets, sanitation and fire prOtec- tion."
 G. D. Page, cashier of the Citizens bank-"Tts the proper stunt. Our streets should be improved and sani- tation should be looked after more
 scrupulously. We can govern our selves better than it can be done for us by people who are not here and do not see the conditions. I am strongly in favor of home govern ment and incorporation, according to my idea, is the thing for Oatman."
 F. W. Gartner, cashier of the Ariz- ona Central bank-"Speaking for my self, as an individual, I would be inclined to favor home government. It strikes me as the best way to inn prove the streets, handle sanitation and safeguard the health of the com munity."
 Mitchell Carter, manager of the Oatnan Investment company-"I am certainly in favor of incorporation. Let us fix our own streets, regulate our own sanitation and do our own policing. Then we can have less drunkenness on our streets and in our very doors. We can have streets that will not be a disgrace. We will not have to wait for action on the part of somebody at a distance. The only way to govern our town is to do it ourselves. You can put me down in favor of incorporation every time"
 H. M. Caswell, registration officer and business man-"There is a lot to take into consideration and a person should take a little time to think it over before expressing an opinion, but l would be inclined to favor it. We need better sanitation and better streets and that ought to be the more feasible way to get them"
 A. J. Beecher of the Oatman-Rev- enue Mining company-"It's a good idea. am for incorporation and clean town. My past efforts here have been in that direction when tried to inaugurate a cleanup day in Oatman and failed because others would not do the work that I suggested that they do. There is just one way to govern our town and that is to have our own local government and do the things required ourselves"
 J. A. Small, cashier of the Bank of Oatman-'Tt is a matter that should be given a great deal of thought I should not be in favor of a system by which the mining com panies like the Tom Reed and United l Eastern would pay all the expense of the town government and every one ought to be required to pay his share If we left out their properties then the question of covering the territory at Tent City, Mazona and Old Trails l would pc the queSClon, ana there we would have to look after sanitation as well. do not wish to do anything | that would be negotiable or unfair to anybody, but it is a fact that while we are raising all our money now by donations we are getting nothing. Conditions could not be much worse than they are now, and while hesi- tate to declare myself in favor of any plan that would place the whole bur den on the two mining companies, light as such burden, under an econo- mical government, probably would be, I would be inclined to favor incorpora- tion on lines that would be equitable"

naturalization of the vein, for it is a fact of common knowledge that in sinking a lot of waste" is always en- countered.
 "It is my prediction that within the coming year the Wallapais will gain recognition second only to the Cerbats, when the mining public req lizes the vast opportunities they offer for exploitation. The Phelps-Dodge interests already have a great group of patented copper claims in the Cop per World, situate in the general neighborhood of the molybdenum properties, and many other extremely rich deposits of siIver-lead, copper and tungsten are being prepared for devel- opment.
 'In addition to the two molybdenum companies already operating, the Ari- zona Bullion, organized by W. D.. Grannis of Kingman, in my estima- tion, holds a promise of future per haps equal to either of the other or ganizations.
 "This property appears to be iden- tical in formation with the Leviathan, and has three immense lodges distinct ly marking the property into a like number of units, with numerous small CT lodges or veins cutting into the larger ones, which are expected, with depth, to make large bodies of high grade ore. At least one of the prin- cipal lodges offers a splendid tunnel site, presenting a chance for gaining backs very rapidly, thus affording fa- ciilties for low development costs.
 T understand that Mir. Grannis has received considerable encouraging promise from capital which he is en- deavoring to interest in his good look ing property, and should he succeed in enlisting sufficient money to institute a proper development scheme, you may look for another big property in the Wallapais, that will add yet an- other good reason why mining capital should investigate the district"

HUCCETT IS FOR

San Marcos Guide Reveals to Many
Tourists the States Wonders;
interesting Trips

Many tourists this year in seeing
America first" are putting Arizona at
the head of their itineraries, and no
one in the country is doing more to
encourage this than Bill Nugget, the
San Marcos guide.
Bill has been following western
trails ever since ne has been old
enough to sit on a horse, and has been
guide, philosopher and friend to the
eastern tourist for nearly that long.
For a number Of years he rather spec

knows, that Arizona. contains more
points of interests that are out of the
