BACKS AUTOMOBILE
 INTO EXCAVATION
From Fridays Daily MinerI

Backing hlS car into the pig eXcaVa- tion at the corner of Fourth street and the alley, between Front and Beale streets, last evening, W. H. Rivers had a narrow escape from being killed. Moving backward from the curb in front of Bonelli's store, the auto ob- tained such speed that MT. Rivers was unable to control it and it went over the high embankment. Luckily, it fell right side up. One of the tires blew up with loud report, which attracted many people to the scene.
 MT. Rivers was found unhurt in the car, although somewhat shaken by the fall. Some blanks were laid into the excavation and a crowd pulled the au- tomobile back onto the street. An ex- animation disclosed no injury to the machine, aside from the ruined tire. The automobile, Buick, was a recent purchase, and Mir. Rivers had not got ten acquainted with the workings of the "reverse."

UNION CARPENTERS BANQUET PROVES
 ENJOYABLE AFFAIR
IFrOm oatman Section Daily Miner.I

IFrom Oatman Section Daily Miner.I
 The first annual banquet of Local Union No. 1175, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, at Miners Union hall, Tuesday even ing, was the most largely attended affair ever given in Oatman. Presi- dent Moore, as toastmaster, delivered an address of welcome to the members of the local, their wives and families and invited guests.
 The first number of the musical program rendered was a piano solo by Professor Waters, which with other selections rendered by him during the evening, was highly appreciated by the large audience. The second num- Der was a song, 'In the Cradle of the Deep" by Miss Hovey, who possesses a splendid voice and charming per sonality. Her songs were the princi- pal feature of the evenings intertain- ment.
 An address by Fred s. Mccullough, business agent of the local, was highly educational along the organization and historical lines of unions. MT. Mccullough has been a member of the Brotherhood since 1883 and his many experiences, as related by him, were highly interesting.
 MT. Collins of the Retail Clerks Union, made an interesting and anus ing talk. Mir. Collins has travelled extensively in South America and his explanation of the contrasts between that country and the United States was highly appreciated.
 H. M. Bell rendered two recitations in a pleasing fashion. Mir. Brown also gave a recitation, which won ap- plause.
 After the rendition of the musical program a repast of sandwiches, cake and coffee was served. The food was cooked by the wives of the carpenters and it is needless to say all present highly appreciated it.
 Great credit is due Messrs Shraver- sand, Mathews and Fritz, composing the committee which arranged the banquet.

STORE OF LOCAL
 FIRM IMPROVED
IFrOm Thursdays Daily MinerI

The recent improvements at Nickell and company's dry goods store places that establishment on a plane with the very best of stores in towns many times the size of Kingman. The new front is now furnished. The show windows have been neatly lettered and they will soon be trimmed for fall opening, an announcement of which will soon appear in the Daily Miner.
 In addition to the new front an up-to-date six basket parcel and cash carrier system has been installed. This will give just as good service in checking sales and making change as those used in similar stores in the large cities. A splendid display of new fall goods and millinery will be made at the fall opening.

BLUE BIRD WILL
 INSTALL BIG PUMP
IFrOn oatman Section Daily Minsr.l

Manager A. G. Heating of the Blue Bird stated yesterday that as soon as adequate pumping machinery can be installed sinking will be resumed. The Blue Bird closed down some time ago on account of the large amount of water encountered in the shaft at depth of 230 feet. A small pump ing plant was in operation at the time but it was of too small capacity to handle the flow.
 A new and much larger plant is to be installed. It is expected that it will be in operation within a month. The old plant is being taken out and all will be in readiness for the in stallation of the new plant when it arrives.
 A new and larger compressor will also be installed. It will be of sufi- cient capacity to furnish the motive power for the pumping plant and air drills.
 The Blue Bird is controlled by the Big Jim people. Its location is about 5000 feet northwest of the United Eastern, and on what is known as the main vein of the proven ore bear ing formation of the central part of the district. The company is said to be well financed, and Manager Heating states that the shaft will be sunk to a depth of 400 feet with all possible speed. At that depth cross cuts will be run to the vein. The vein can easily be traced on the sur face to Blue Bird through the United Eastern, Tom Reed and Big Jim properties.

BIG JIM ID BUILD
 MILL, CAMP TALK
IFrOm oatmAn Section Daily Minsr.I

At the Big Jim drifting on the vein and blocking out ore continues. The vein is opened up for a distance of 500 feet. Manager A. G. Heating states that exploration of the vein and blocking out of the ore will be continued for some time before sink ing to a greater depth is undertaken. At present operations are being con- fined to the 400 and 4S5 foot levels. For a time water seriously hampered operations on these levels but the installed pumping plant is handling it in a very satisfactory man ner.
 That a mill will soon be erected at the Big Jim is common talk among mining men here who are seemingly with the future plans of the Big Jim. It is said that plant larger than that now being erected at the United Eastern is planned.
 An estimate of the amount of ore now blocked out is difficult to take but it is said that it will run into the millions. Manager Heating stated yesterday that he has not estimated the value of ore in sight but that it will run into large figures.

WILL EQUIP THE ETOWNE
 WITH NEW MACHINERY

The Towne management is prepar- ing to equip the mine with a new gallows frame, hoist and compressor. The property will be shut down until the arrival of the machinery which should be here in a few weeks. After the latter is installed a new shaft will be sunk.
 D The old workings of this property were in such a delapidated shape that a new shaft was imperative. In the old workings considerable high grade was encountered and the mine in gen. eral looks so promising that s. S.. Jones, one of the principal owners is highly pleased with the prospects.

MOVING DAY. FOR
 CAMP BOOTLEGGERS
IFrOn oatman Section Daily Minsr.I

Wednesday was moving day" in Oatman for bootleggers. Warrants were issued in wholesale quantities but the officers served but four of them owing to the fact that "a word of warning" was passed around and those of the profession who were not compelled by other interests to remain in Oatman 'beat it" to a more healthy region.
 Eighteen or more warrants were is sued. Fourteen of them are still in the possession of the officers, owing to the disappearance of the parties for whom they were issued. It was prac- tically impossible to ascertain who was responsible for the issuance of the warrants. It was stated, however, that those issued for parties who were doing business on ground owned by the Tom Reed Mining company, were sworn to by attorneys of that com pany, but this statement could not be verified last night. Others, it is said, were sworn to by citizens of Oatman who issued warning through a local news paper some time ago. All efforts to ascertain from the off, cers who was responsible for the war rants failed, but it is likely that this matter will be cleared up today when those arrested persons will appear in court for hearings.
 After the word went out that a raid was to be made by officers, Oat- man was the dryest town in the state. Nothing stronger than lemonade was for sale. And it is likely that boot logging in Oatman in the future will be in the nature of the individual who carries a single bottle in his pocket and collects in advance. This class of bootlegger is the worst type, as his wares are of the lowest quality. Generally his "Old Taylor" is pure wood alcohol and gasoline of equal quantities. Others who are desirious of selling something that has harder ''kick" include with the above mix ture an ample portion of ether. And beer will be out of the question.
 One result of the absence of the Legitimate" bootlegger will favor the auto drivers as they are certain to have many more passengers going and coming from Needles. People who drink will go to California to get the liquor, and they will return with large quantities for personal use.
 From one source of information it was learned that the business of boot logging would only be temporarily discontinued, and that in another week the fraternity would again be in it's glory. However, parties who are said to be responsible for the sudden stop page of the business are insistent that it shall not be again permitted.

HEAVY AUTO TRAVEL
 Is BOUND WESTWARD

Some idea of the number of auto mobiles travelling westward at this season may be gained from the fact that the garage at Seligman sells an average of 1000 gallons of gasoline daily, nearly all of which is sold to parties overland bound.
 The Arizona route is becoming the most favored of all overland routes, and this is due in a large measure to the progressive policy of the present administration in providing good roads. Since Governor Hunt adopted his humane treatment of state con- victs over 200 miles of state high way has been constructed. This work is of the best and will endure for all time. It constitutes practically a boulevard whose fame is spreading throughout the nation.
 In addition this class of labor has constructed culverts which, if placed side by side, would measure a total of five miles, or, approximately, 26,OOO linear feet. And this does not tell the story. Many miles of other roads have been improved and many bridges span streams, making travel possible where it would have been impossible but for Governor Hunts intelligent, progressive and humane policies.

USING SPECIAL CAR

A special car on the Santa Fe was sidetracked here Tuesday and waited for a party of about fifteen people, headed by G. R. Stone, who left the train at Topock and made a tour through the Goldroad and Oatman dis trict. The party left on train No. 10 yesterday for the east and was scheduled for a stop at Grand Canyon and other points.

Mir. A. M. MacDuffee, Mineral Commissioner, Mohave County,
 Chloride, Arizona.

Mohave County,
 Chloride, Arizona. Dear Sir:-
 Your favor of October 4th, received. We have been advised by Superin- tendent A. A. Johns of the Northern Arizona Fair, that he appeared be- fore the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on Monday October 2, and that they instructed him to advise this Association that a complete mineral display from Mohave County would be installed at the Northern Arizona Fair.
 We appreciate how busy you must be, but at the same time, this Fair presents a golden opportunity for Mohave County to instill deep in- terest in her mining industry among the hundreds of people who have in- vested in your properties. If there is anything we can do at this end to assist you, please do not hesitate to command our services, as it is our earnest wish to have Mohave County represented as outlined by the Board of Supervisors.
 Sincerely,
 GRACE M. SPARKS,
 Secretary.

Means of Support

The Game Warden's activities de- pend for support upon the sale of licenses and fines collected, the state warden's salary, travelling and office expenses being the only items coming from the general tax fund.
 Ought not every person, who enjoys game and song birds be willing to contribute -four bits" for a yearly license to hunt and fish, when all of the money so collected goes for the protection of his interests? And is this not especially true when the men who look after his interests must be laid off as soon as sportsmen quit buying licenses.
 Some things we are trying to do: l. Enforce our present laws so as to preserve the game birds and animals we now have.
 2. Get some changes in seasons and license fees which will do a great deal for the increase of our present game supply.
 8. Propagate bob white quail, Chiese pheasants, wild turkeys and elk.
 4. Locate federal fish hatchery in Arizona for stockini northern streams and lakes, as well as ponds built by ranchers.
 5. Teach the school children of the state the reasons for protecting wild life.
 6. By impartial and reasonable punishments of offenses, to obtain the cooperation of every citizen of every community.
 Something to Think About
 1. Arizona game supply is an asset in the number of tourists it brings here to hunt it; in the money brought into the state by its sale, for propogat- ing purposes, to other state game brought S1.5O each, and quail $12.0O per dozen), and it is most valuable as an asset in the pleasure it affords our own people.
 2. If you're going to have game about you, you must help protect 1t.
 License Fees
 For each general license to resi- dents, 50 cents.
 For each big game license, non residents, $25.OO.
 For each big game license, alien, S1OO.OO.
 For each bird license, nonresident, S1O.0O.
 For each bird license, alien, $25.OO. For each permit to transport out of state, deer or turkey, each, S2.OO.
 For each duplicate license or per init, 10 cents.
 Season
 1. Male deer, and turkey from October 1, to December 15.-Chloride Herald.

 In view of the abundance of news, facts and figures now being brought before your readers with reference to our government, state and national, it may seem presumptious to offer any information concerning so small de partment of the state as the Game Warden office.
