MINER Is KILLED
 IN TOM REED MINE

John Bobich, an Austrian miner, was killed in the Tom Reed minc at Oatman Sunday night by falling into an ore chute and being smothered by rock which followed in behind him. He was timbering and was standing on top of the ore chute. Hammers were drawing ore from below. The ma terial had become wedged at the top of the chute, and mislead Bobich to the extent of causing him to stand upon it. Finally, his weight caused the crust to give away. He was pre- cipitated to the bottom of the chute and the ore that followed him smothered him to death. Nothing is known of him except that he had worked in Goldroad and Oatman for several years.

 DIES OF PNEUMONIA

R. c. Kanters died Tuesday morn ing of pneumonia. He had been i'll for week or more but had so much improved that several days ago he was removed to his new home in the Lovin and Withers addition. He took sud den turn for the worse Monday and passed away yesterday morning.
 A brother is here from Seattle, Washington, having been summoned when MT. Kanters was first taken ill. Besides his brother, the deceased leaves a wife and little girl to mourn his loss. He has been with the Tarr, McComb and Ware Commercial com pany for the last three months as a machinery salesman. Prior to coming here he was with the Chicago Pneumatic Tool company for years in San Francisco.

and evidences the growth of Kingman and the surrounding country, and it's corresponding prosperity.
 The clerks numbered all parcels and in this way were enabled to handle more of them in shorter time than the usual way of hunting for the names. Each person having a bundle in the office was notified to call for a certain number and the clerks placed the num- bers on the parcels in large figures. By this method they could at once distinguish bundles with the result that there were no delays in delivery.
 Kingman office is soon to be re- modelled and enlarged to twice it's present size, owing to the great growth of the parcel post and mails.

 At present the crossing from ocean to ocean, Buenos Aires to Valparaiso, consumes only 99 hours less time than on any other transcontinental line if the isthmian roads at Tehauntepec and Panama be excepted. At 8:30 in the morning the train leaves Buenos Aires. Reaching the mountains a change to a narrow guage cog-wheel road is made. When the summit is gained the train is putting 12,OOO feet above the level of the sea and the in ternational tunnel, nearly three miles in length, is entered. Ten minutes of darkness ensues and the train bursts out into the binding light of the high plateau, which is Chile. The descent is made more rapidly, still by cog wheel road.

MOHAVE COUNTY IS GOOD
 FIELD FOR EXPERIAIENTERS

PARIS, Dec. 15.-The brayless mule is one of the scientific developments of the war. Large numbers of mules have been imported from America for use at the front. but their habit of praying at inconvenient moments had to be remedied before they could be used to the best advantage. The veterinary experts, were called in, and after it- tie experiment they discovered that slight operation on the nostril had the desired effect, and all the mules sent to the front are now made mute by this process.

'CHILE MAY FINISH
 TRANS-AHDINE LINE

VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov. 23.-
 The department of public works has
 again seriously taken under considera-
 tiOn the proposition of constructing
 the Chilean end of a new Trans-An-
 dine railway. The line, which official
 reports say will be built at the earliest possible moment, will connect the Ar
 genuine port of Bahia Blanca with
 Lebu and will cross the Andes in the
 foreign regions of Lonquimay. The
 Argentine end of the new trans-con-
 tinental has been completed to within
 30 Hlometers of the Chilean frontier,
 where work was halted to await a like
 development on the western slope of
 the Andes.
 That Chile has not as yet built her
 section is due to a difference of opin- ion among government engineers as to the most available route. Two counter projects have been urged in the chamber of deputies. These call for lines across the mountains of cen tral and northern Chile, but the ex- haustive report of Senor Domingo Duran, government expert, which has just been submitted, seems to have settled the matter in favor of the southern pass. The bleak nature of the Andes in the northern and central parts, with the liability of avalanches which might block the line for months, has apparently determined the gov ernment to commence work in the south, where the forests of the high plateaus will hold the sliding snows.
 At present semi-weekly trains are running regularly between Buenos Aires and Valparaiso over the existing trans-Andine road, which crosses the great plateau through the Uspallata pass. 12,O00 feet above the level of the sea. The twice-a-week service, which was maintained before the great wal, was discontinued until fortnight ago, when it was resumed because traffic | across the Panama canal has created a l profitable passenger service for the South American transcontinental. | Many Americans are now experiencing he thrill of crossing the highest range in the world, and of seeing from car windows those majes- .ic peaks, the close hand view of which las heretofore been reserved for ex- ,erienced and adventurous mountain climbers.
 The boundary line between the Ar ,entine and Chile consists of 20OO 5 niles of Andean peaks, most of which Ire over 15,O0O feet high and some ; which rise to 23,OOO. This massive 'arrier can be crossed in but a few 'laces even by men on foot, and the uilding of the new transcontinental lC 7ill be a notable engineering feat. It l 5 expected that by the time it has i een. completed the war in Europe will '

The auto stage driver between King man and Las Vegas reported last evening that he bucked foot of snow on the summit of the range west of Eldorade canyon and also the summit of the Black canyon, west of Chloride. While he had to buck snow and the weather was not what it might have been, he made the trip across in seven hours. The distance is 119 miles.

MORE BUILDINGS ARE GREATLY NEEDED BY
 STATE UNIVERSITY
, fFrom Sundays Daily Miner.l


 More buildings" that is the great need of this university today" said President R. B. von KleinSmid of the University of Arizona recently. "This need" he said, ''is not limited to dor mitory buildings, most necessary as this particular need is, but we should have an armory which the younC men may have as a center for their mill tar activities as well as for social purposes.
 "It can, of course, be said that the weather in Arizona is such aE to ren- der more or less unnecessary such a building B1t if considered simply from the standpoint of military zen ter for the university, it would serve a very useful purpose. not only for the storage of arms but also fer numer- ous driiis.
 "The men are deeply interested in military matters. What could be /more striking in this regard than the fact that large percentage of the men elect to take military work in their two last years, besides taking the first two years of training which is compulsory?
 Harvard university has the liar ward union, a place where all univer- sity men gather for social purposes. This is the sort of scheme that we need here, and it is my notion that the a-mory could well serve this double purpose. Different bodies of men are able, in their fraternities, to mingle, but this does not involve the wide mingling that would be found in such a social center as I suggest.
 "Then consider the dormitory ques- ton, and there is no more crying need than this. Our men should have them; so, too, our women. In many cases there are three students in a room. As the university grows annually those who have to live off the campus increase in number. hate to see this. I think it should be our aim to have all those enrolled in the university live On the campus and secure the unity | of spirit that comes from this.
 ''There should be more dormitory buildings. My ideal for a building for the women would be one which would . be a home for them. They are the happiest when they can have this, even though they be within the con fines of the university.
 'Instead of making it necessary for them to dress up in their gymnasium suits and walk across the campus, they should have a gymnasium of their own in their dormitory where they could exercise without going out of the building. Then, instead of being com peIled to walk across the campus dressed for domestic science work, they should have sufficient opportuni- ties for this in their own dormitory."

While considerable fighting has been

and the Balkans.
The British report that the Turks
have evacuated their trenches On the
land side Of the Kut-el-Amara de-
fenses to about a mile from the en-

is no change in the situation Of the
British force moving up the Tigris to
the relief of Kut-el-Amara.
British possession Of territory pro-
tecting tne Suez canal route at itg
southern end IS imperiled by attacks
made by large bodies of Arabs and
Turks on the British forces in south
western arabia, according to adEices
from German sources. The British
have been driven from all the terri
tory they held in that section of the
country and have suffered extremely
heavy losses in the fighting, the re-
ports declare, the figures being given
at $4,000 killed and 10000 wounded.
The implication from the Berlin dis
patch carrying these reports is that
the British army of 10000 men is vir-
tually cooped up in Alden, near the en-
trance of the Red Sea, which must be
held if the southerly approach to the
Suez canal is to be protected.
A situation quite similar to this was
reported through German agencies
several weeks ago, but London then
announced officially that no apprehen-
sions were entertained Of the outcome
of the operations which had been
merely in the nature of skirmishes.
The Austrians, having gained pos
session of nearly all of Montenegro.
whose remaining defenders, according
to Vienna, are fast laying down their
arms, are pushing southwark in AL
bania. Apparently they are moving
deliberately although without snceun-
tering much resistance. Their road
down the Adriatic seacoast leads them
to Durazzo, but advices from Albania
indicate that their progress is likely
to be slow, owing to the condition OF
the roads.
At last accounts the Bulgariaa'
forces cooperating with the Austrians
had encountered the Albanian troops
lnder Essad Pasha and, according TO
unofficial advces, had met with de-
feat at the latter's hands.
