''MOHAVE GRILL" NAME
 OF NEW RESTAURANT
CFrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner.)

The Mohave Grill is the name of the newest restaurant in Oatman. Frank Boyd, one of the most popular restaurant men in the district, IS proprietor. He states that there IS nothing too good for Oatman when it comes to the "eats" at the Mohave Grill.
 MT. Boyd is an old-timer here, hay ing arrived when Oatman badly need ed an eating house of the Mohave type. His first venture was the Mo have Eating house. He made re- cord that will long be unsurpassed in the number of people served in a small place. Later Mir. Boyd pur- chased the Desert Inn Cafe, which he named Mohave No. 2. Here also he was successful, and through it gained the sobriquet of "Put-It-On-The- Plate" which still sticks to him, and as his patrons appreciated his service and food he is proud of it.
 Mir. Boyd went out of business when his health failed and it become nee essary for him to go to San Francisco where he remained for some time un- der treatment. During his illness his demise was reported in Oatman. After his recovery his first thought was of Oatman and the Mohave Grill. He arrived two weeks ago and today the Mohave Grill is open for business. He promises that his old friends shall not be disappointed when they appear for a square meal.

CFrom Sundays Daily Miner.)

lErOm Sunday Ddllg 1AlueLsl
 The K. and w. Mining company IS the latest mining corporation to enter the Oatman field. Its property was formerly known as the Kling group of claims and is surrounded by the Times, Hercules, Big Lode and Ivan hoe properties. The group was for many years owned by D. c. King, who will be the manager of the new company.
 4 force of men was put to work Friday grading and making prepara- tions for the sinking of a shaft which will be a three-compartment incline affair. Sinking will continue until a depth of 1000 feet is reached. Ma chinery has been ordered and it is expected that it will arrive and be installed before the first of the com ing year. For the present sinking will be done by windlass and hand steel.
 The new company is said to be well financed. Associated with MT. King are M. B. Anderson and H. B. Clifton of Long Beach, and M. s. Capell of Los Angeles.

VIEWS
 ON AMENDMENTS
lFrom Sundays Daily Miner.l

George Powell, representing the Arizona State Federation of Labor, delivered an interesting address to Q large audience in front of the Arizona hotel Friday evening. He stated the position of the federation and other labor organizations relative to many of the proposed amendments to the state constitution, which will appear on the ballot at the November cleo tion.
 Among those which the federation and organized labor favor are those which will appear on the ballot as Nos. BOP and 3O3, an act to establish a department of labor; BOA and 3O5, to establish the office of state archi- tect and building superintendent; 112 and 113, abolishing the senate, and 300 and 3O1, abolishing the death pen alty. In the voting the even num- bers are "for" and the odd numbers are against" the measures. The measures were initiated by the Ari- zona State Federation of Labor, with which all other labor organizations of the state are affiliated.
 The measure which Mir. Powell spoke against were Nos. 100 and 1O1, known as senate bill 32: no and III, a proposed compensation law, and 1O6 and 107, legislative redistricting. MT. Powell declared all these measures vicious and said they should be voted down.
 MT. Powell left Saturday morning for Chloride, where he spoke last night. Lester B. Doane of Miami is accompanying MT. Powell on his tour of the state, but was unable to speak in Oatman, owing to a severe cold.

Mohave county was especially fav- cred in the distribution of blue ribbons at the Northern Arizona Fair yester- day. The display of the Arizona Butte got the Sweepstakes" and the WaIla- pal district was adjudged the best represented of all the mining districts. making ore displays. The Hassayam- pal district of Yavapai county was second. The mill and shelter pro ducts first prize was awarded to the Consolidated Arizona Smelling com pany, and the display of the Arizona Butte of Mohave county was second . Yavapai county was given first place for the largest display and Mo have county second place. A hand some specimen of ore from the Buck eye mine at Mineral Park was given a special award. The specimen was loaned to Commissioner MacDuffee by H. H. Watkins of Kingman.
 The ore display of Mohave county, while not as extensive as that of Yavapai county, was a far better ex- position of minerals and received a

 A. M. McDuffee, commissioner for Mohave county, is much elated over the success of his efforts to make proper showing of the mineral wealth of the various districts.

OF FUTURE
 OF WEAVER DISTRICT
CFrom Tuesdays Daily Miner.l


 Ed Lowe, an old timer of Oatman, has returned here from the Weaver district where he has copper and gold property. He reports that the district is fast coming to the front and that it is expected that within another year many producing properties will be operating there.
 MT. Lowe says that there is a con siderable area of the Weaver district which shows ten per cent copper in large quantities on the surface. De- velopment to depth, however, is lack ing. The copper bearing ores also contain gold values. MT. Lowe states that some of the best specimens of picture ore in the county are to be found there. Assays running as high as 5000 per ton are numerous at Q6pIQS OI lIOLl 1O IO ~ 1GeL. 1L lS his opinion that the merit of the dis trict will be proven without a doubt when capital sufficient to sink to 500 feet or more can be interested. At present lack of transportation facili- ties is keeping moneyed men away.
 The section is in the neighborhood of 75 miles from Kingman and 45 miles from Chloride. It is a long drive for a machine and a still harder undertaking for teams and auto trucks. Many prospectors have taken their equipment to the district on burro trains, which constitute difficult and slow means of travel over the long stretch of waste country where water can only be located by persons familiar with the section. However, MT. Lowe says that many of the difficulties are being overcome and in his opinion another year will see that section as well populated as the Oatman-Goldroad district.

WAITING FOR ''OLD
 GUARD" CANDIDATES
CFrom Tuesdays Daily Miner.)


 The Republican candidates who were scheduled to speak here last Friday did not appear. They were also ex- pected to arrive Saturday or Sunday but again they did not show up. Notices were posted to the effect that they were unable to reach Oatman owing to heavy rains and washouts.
 Some of the more inquisitive voters even asked the question: "where were the rains and washouts", but they were not answered. However, the statement is being made by others that Campbell and the others of the party were suspicious of the recep- tion they might get in Oatman after patronizing, it is said, a "scab" res taurant in Bisbee.

DESERT BEAUTIES TRIM OPPONENTS IN
 BASEBALL CONTEST
From Tuesdays Daily MinsrI

The Desert Beauties are the base ball champions of Mohave County. It is the truth; the girls beat the busi- ness men last Sunday, IA to 8.
 Fat chance Harry Underwood would have for that recorder job if Viola Hoffman was running against him. She went around the bases so fast that all the infelders had sore eyes from the dust she stirred up.
 Maggie" Archibald is a stunning girl. Her beautiful auburn hair, rosy cheeks, form and costume attracted great attention from spectators. Such elaborate costumes as "Lizzie" Blum and Maggie wore were never before seen on a ball field. Unfortunately 'Lizzie" did not have any garters and was continuously pulling up her boomers.
 "Sal" Smith, on first, looked charming in her middy, boomers and green stockings. All the rest of the girls envied her on account of her shape, but then they had a good req son to be, for she is a perfect 38.
 Emma Martinez, on short, proved the star of the day not only in hitting but in fielding. She scooped ground CTS up and shot them across to first with such velocity that poor 'flil Sal" is carrying her right hand around in a sling. In the third session Emma came across with a two bagger that scored two runs and later she stole third. She was only able to get there, however, by using a pretty hook slide.
 Sylvia Teale stopped a liner off "Butch" Georges bat in the first in ming that proved to be peach of catch.
 "Dutch" Smith, the Beauties pitcher used her curves and speed with such success that she was able to turn many of the opposing players back to- ward the bench with dejected looks on their faces.
 "Queeny" Perkins was sent in as a pinch hitter in the last inning and came through with the longest hit of the day, a triple to right. Unfortu nately for "Queeny" she lost her wig rounding third base. But for the quick work of "Liz'' Blum in recover ing it the spectators might have found out something that was not in tended to become public.
 A complete box score is not printed on account of limited space and because of the many pinch hitters used by the men in their endeavor to over come the girls lead.
 The game was played for the bene- fit of the cemetery fund and the ladies of that association wish to thank the people for their kind and generous patronage.

Frank Wyland, a member of the United Eastern carpenter force, left Sunday for the coast where he will spend two weeks enjoying a vacation. He is an old timer of the district, and in the last year and half has been constantly employed at the United Eastern and properties under direc- tion of Long and McIver. He has constructed more gallows frames than any other man in the district. It was under his direction that the big 85- foot United Eastern gallows frame was recently constructed.

 During the day about $500 in for feited bail money was turned into the treasury of the county. The amount of fines and forfeits during the term of court is said to be in excess of $5,0O0. This amount will be a good, healthy addition to the county school fund.
