ELECTRICITY USED TO
 CLEANSE CAMP WATER

An electrical method of purifying water for drinking has been trans planted into Oatman by the efforts of Black brothers, real estate agents, which it is claimed is a sure proven tive for bacteria or germ sickness where water is of dubious character.
 The system consists of treating wa ter by electricity, which is called the electrolysis method. The electricity passes through the water and hberates nascent oxygen, some times called ozone, kills bacteria and germ life, precipitates the vegetable and animal matter but leaves the mineral matter in solution. As these natural salts are so necessary for the health of the body, it is claimed to be much more healthful than is distilled water. The water becomes very soft.
 After electrical treatment the water is doubly filtered by a special fiItra- tion process. In this way all dead bacteria, vegetable and animal matter is completely removed. The third step is a secret process while the fourth consists of thoroughly aerating the water, which makes it still more healthful.
 Recently Black brothers correspond ed with Prof. A. E. Denison, bio chemist of the University of Arizona, who writes:
 q am familiar with the method of purifying water which you mention, having seen it in operation at the San Diego exposition last summer. The method was examined by Dr. Meserve here in the laboratory of the state board of health. He mixed city sew age with the water and treated it with this method. The purification was very satisfactory"

STRIKE Is MADE
 ON KINGMAN ZINC

A report comes from Stockton Hill that a strike of ore has been made on the Fraction claim of the Kingman Zinc company that gives promise of great things. The ore across three feet of vein gave return of better than $65 gold per ton in gold and silver.
 The tunnel on the Shooting Star will be driven ahead, getting under the ore body at a depth of several hundred feet. The distance to be run is about 100 feet, the tunnel now be- ing in quite a distance on the vein. The management is making all possi- ble speed to reach the ore body, ex- pecting to cut it not later than Sep tember 1. B. X.

GOLDROAD GRADE ID
 IBE READY THIS MONTH
[Fron Ostn.n ssetion D.II, ALlner.1

The building of the new county high way over the Goldroad hill is making good headway and should be complete and in use within the next 90 days. There is still little to do on the east grade and considerable on the west.
 Heavy blasting and rapid work are going on apace on that part of the road and the grade has been broken down and marked out in a general way almost to completion down as fas as Goldroad town. It is mostly clean ing up, smoothing and surfacting that remain to be done to make the road ready for teams and autos.
 It is a twisted route, but a good easy grade and most machines can make it in high gear. It is far diff ferent from the present grade, which in one place is claimed to be 30 per event and which has made many an auto turn back and go into the gar ages to have their clutches frightened. Coming down has its dangers as we'll as going up.
 The recent rains are a great help in putting the new road in condition. They do more in a day to solidify the surface than men can do in a month.
 The people of Oatman feel grateful to the county supervisors for this road and wish them subsequent triumph ant career of the same order closer home which they feel certain of wit messing as things shape themselves for it in due course of time and as favor able financial arrangements will justify.

BACK FROM MEETING
 OF STATE TAX BODIES

Frank L. Hunt, who has been at tending the session of the tax bodies at Prescott, returned home yesterday coming in by way of Los Angeles. He is a candidate for reelection to the office of assessor of Mohave county, and so far has no opposition for the office.
 Mir. Hunt and his deputies know more about property values in the county and the location of taxable property than it is possible to be gain ed by any other person in several years of service and the people will do we'll to see that there is no change. Under his assessorship Mohave coun- ty has grown from a county with tax able values of $1, ,5OO, 900 to it's present valuation of $16,OOO,OOO, the greatest growth of any county in the state.

ATHLETIC EVENTS AT
 FIREMENS SMOKER
IFrOa chlOrid. Section Daily Miner.I

A wrestling match and six two round bouts, a draw resulting in each and every case, constituted a string of coineidents seldom equaled on any stage, but that is how it all happened and came out at the Oatman fire de- partment smoker at the Desert Inn theater Monday night.
 The wrestling match was between Pagan and O'Nein and was a 'hum- dinger." The participants are light weights and as lively on their feet as kittens. They would have given the audience a run for its money if a sub stantial cash admission had been charged.
 The fistic artists, all local, form galaxy of talent that few cities the size of Oatman could boast of. Ben Swartz and Lyston Black gave one of the exhibition contests. Others fol- lowed quickly, as follows: Joe Ryan versus Freddy Krause, Harry Sim monds versus R. L. Booth, George Le- Grand versus Paul Hines, Bert Tal- mage versus Merle Bowman, Irving Mulrain versus William E. Hansen.
 Piano selections were rendered to the satisfaction of all by "Smithy", local musician of rare talent
 A gold badge for Retiring Chief W. R. Fleming was presented to him in a neat speech by Secretary W. K. Smith, of the chamber of commerce.
 President Merle Bowman called on all those present for speeches and adopted sort of freeze-out system to punish recalcitrant ones. The punish ment was to not serve them refresh ments when others were served, and there were several horrible ex- amples" to whom this penalty was meted out. Most every one made some sort of a speech after the penal ties commenced to take effect. Among the speakers were President Bowman, Chief Harry Simmonds, Captain O. M. Brockless and Secretary Lyston Black.
 It was accepted as the consensus of opinion of the attendants that these get-together smokers should be held oftener, the hope being to establish cooperation between the people of Oatman and the firemen. It takes money to give smokers, but it is be- lieved that the results are more than wor. the the cost.

From Chloride Section Daily BIiner.I
 Arrangements have been perfected for reopening the old Silver Hill prop critics, which traverse the ridge imme- diately west of the town. It is also reported that the Juno, which is the northward continuation of the Silver Hill and which has a fine production record, will also start up at an early date With the whistles blowing on both sides of us, Chloriders ought to be able to wake up early in the morn ing.
 The Silver Hill vein is well defined for long distance, various from two to 12 feet in width, and, like the big mines on the other side of the valley, dips sharply to the east.
 It has been opened by a series of shafts from 50 to 500 feet in depth, and was one of the first properties worked in the district. The ore car ries gold, silver and lead in paying quantities, and the entire vein from the southern end of the ridge north to the Moose is regarded by old miners here as one of the best in the camp.

TOM REED AND TIMES MERGE
 THEIR WATER INTERESTS
[FrOn oatnan seetion paIIy Miner.I

The water interests of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company and the Times Mining company have been consolidated. The deal resulted from a trip of W. F. Gray, manager of the latter company, to Los Angeles, whence he returned yesterday.
 The terms of the deal as yet are private, but since the Times has the long nd of the water, relieving a shortage of the Tom Reed, it is pre- sumed that the long end of the cash consideration of the deal favors the Times.
 For nearly a month past the Tom Reed has been using the Times water under temporary arrangement. This is said to have been on gallon meter measurement, at a rate not far below the prevailing commercial rates for water.
 In the meantime the Tom Reed

BIG MONEY COMING ID OATMAN IN FALL,
 SAYS W. 4. BROOKS
IFrom Oatman Section Daily Miner.l

From Oatman Section Daily Miner.l 1 "In the fall there is going to be some real big money here. That what we had before was only chicken feed"
 W. A. Brooks, a mining man who has various local interests, including a large block of stock and directorship in the Oatman North Star. after a week at San Francisco, made the above remark yesterday to the Daily Miner correspondent.
 ''It is not going to be small change this time, like we got last winter from Los Angeles, but real money, big money. Things will be altogether diff ferent when it comes, and this camp will be livelier than it ever was be- fore"
 Mir. Brooks says the Big Jim's riches are attracting a world of at- tention at San Francisco. He was one of the local mining men who took ad- vantage of the invitation to see the mine on visitors day, and thereby was conversant with the subject and able to answer inquiries accurately and sat isfactorily.
 The North Star has been working with a sprung piston rod for about a month, but is now shut down while re- pairs are being madNSt the Tom Reed machine shop. These will be finished and the plant will be at work again in a day or two, Mir. Brooks states.

company has secured additional water from the new company organized by V. s. Rowley and associates, and now makes permanent it's arrangement or modification of it's former arrange ment with the Times.
 The Times water comes from Grape vine canyon and was purchased at an outlay understood to be upward of $25, 1000, for the use of the Times town site and mine. There has been a much further outlay for pumping and piping the water to the town and mine, which was completed only at the moment the Tom. Reed well failed and all of the surplus was required to fill the needs of the Tom Reed mill and the people of Oatman.
 It is known that the deal means a great deal for the companies interest ed and is said to have further signifi- canoe that will develop later.

HEAVY FALL OF RAIN
 THROUGHOUT COUNTY.

The rainstorTn of yesterday after noon was general over the county, the greatest fall of the year occurring be- tween Kingman and Oatman. All the washes ran bank full and the roads in places show considerable washing, es- pecially on the mountain grades.
 The storm extended to the Colorado river and fully 100 miles north and south. It was one of the most valua- ble the county has been favored with for many months, as it will not only bring up the new grass, but it will also allow of the dragging of all the well travelled roads.

 FINISHED ID SHAFT
[From Thur,d.y,, bail, hIlp.rl

The Black Range has put the final touches on it's road to the new shaft. The road is over 500 feet long and a fairly easy grade, but on account of hard formations considerable blasting and heavy rock work was required.
 All that remains to do now is to sink the shaft. It has been started and is down seven feet. It will be driven rapidly to a depth of 600 feet, where the lodges are supposed to come together and form an ore shoot that can be mined and milled at a profit without further sinking and a minimum of lateral work.

 A second fine looking stringer, a foot wide, has been cut by the Ari- zOna-Central shaft at depth of 23O feet. It greatly resembles the seven foot vein at the 200. Superintendent w. H.

 The shaft is sinking at rate of 150 feet month. Last week it went down S6 feet. At that rate it will soon be down where the other mines of that zone struck ore, and to that class the Central seems certain of belonging, as only depth appears to be needed to make it a mine
