BEING A CORYHEE. Is No Joke.

81 tell you, being a chorus girl isn't
what ticket-buying public thinks" said
member of the when Dreams Come
True" company, which will be seen
here at Days Theater January 10.
81 guess l know something about be-
ing a chorus girl after six years in
stuffy dressing rooms with all kinds of
girls, dissatisfaction and queer Ian
guages. But we never mix with the
girls unless we want to and like them
especially well. One can take dread
full chances cumming with chorus
neighbors.
Like most girls, was stage struck,
and my one desire was to become an
actress. My father declared he would
never hear of my going on the stage
in any capacity. After his death, l
eoaxed mother into letting me join
Sam Bernard's company. One of the
girls was taken sick or was discharged
and l applied for the position and got
it, / had just two days to rehearse be-
fore went on, and oh, what couple
of days.
"You know when new girl goes in
to achorus, all the other girls declare
they will show her thing or two, and
hate her before she ever shows her
scared face in the unwelcome atmos-
phere, at least, that is what happened
to me.

LIKE A MIGHTY ARMY MOVES
THE CHURCH OF GOD

written especially for this paper.)
In these times almost everyone be-
lieves in the church; it has the general
approval of men in all walks of life;
they feel it is a community advantage
as well as a moral necessity.
Believing in the church, many of
them fail to appreciate what they
might do to strengthen and help the
work of the church.
Effective organization comes only
through sympathetic and helpful rela-
tons expressed in both word and deed.
We speak of the church as being
'like a mighty army" but it is an
army organized for promotion of the
principles of peace.
No army ever advanced very far
or obtained any very marked victories
unless composed of willing partici-
pants.
The private who failed in a given
responsibility would be court-martial-
ed; an officer who failed in perform
ance of duty would be degraded and
disgraced. The best soldiers advance
with a song of joy.
insofar as the church is an efficient
organization it is like a mighty ar
N.Y." when its members lack the capa-
city for wiling service, it fails of its
opportunity, falls short of its duty.
Every organization must have lead
ers; but every effective working force
must have strong willing, hearty CO.
operation through and through.
The victories for peace will come
when the forces of the church under
stand fully their duty, and respond
cheerfully to the call.
Church of God" has in its power the
creation of sentiment which will be
priceless, uplifting, moralizing and
Outstanding.
In how far are you helping to make
this great result?
Throughout the country countless
thousands of men are meeting from
Sabbath to Sabbath, N Bible study
classes, under capable teachers, study
ing the Word; is this with an object of
being helpers?
All over the country congregations
are assembling in splendid houses of
worship, for participation in the SER
vices of the hour; is this merely for
their personal pleasure, or are they
willing and anxious to put the shoulder
to the wheel all through the work?
No church is doing its most efficient
service which is not filed each Sunday
to its capacity, and daily spreading
the Gospel to many people.
Uplifting thought is very essential
bit lacks in its far reaching influence
if the listening ears be not willing ears
and the hearts into which the words
fall, doing hearts.
Like mighty army" they must
move with accord, with purpose, with
good will and determination! Are
you enlisted as Volunteer?

Holy Scriptures, which are able to

 The Oatman-Spurr Gold Mining company has been organized and taken over the Little Rocks group of claims, which is close to the Pioneer and the Paramount. The ruling fac tor of the company is Charles S. Spur of Los Angeles, who is a manu- facturer of circulating pumps for Ford cars. He arrived here Saturday to look after his mining interests, which are numerous in addition to the group named. He says Los Angeles is much interested in Oatman and bet ter times by far than anything en- joyed here since the camp started are certain of coming this fall.
 MT. Spur is a friend of Superin- tendent Goldsworthy of the United Northern and visited with him while here. He spoke very highly of the United Northern and is enthusiastic about the district He leaves this morning for Kingman, Prescott and Phoenix.

ROCKS MADE ID TELL
 THEIR OWN STORY

The walls of the Grand Canyon in Arizona form a great natural geologic section, in which each layer of rock is in its original position relative to those above and below it. In few oth- CT places, however, is the story of the upbuilding of the earth's crust so plainly and inpressively told. As a rule the geologist who would decipher the records of the rocks must get a bit here and bit there. He may find the edges of some beds exposed insa river bluff and other sticking out on a steep mountain side. He determines by fossils or othel means the order in which the beds were deposited, and by putting all his information together he constructs what he calls a columnar section for the district in which he is working is, a section showing the order, thickness, and character of the beds. Such a section discloses the strata that form the upper part of the earth's crust at that place, just as a slice of layer cake shows at glance the vaGous layers of which it is com posed.
 After a number oE districts in a re- zion have been studied and their gen eral columnar sections determined, the geologic history of the region can be learned by comparing these sections, just as the engineer who is drilling for low grade copper ores compares his drill records and thus learns the out lines of the ore body. Such a compari- son of the beds at one place and an- other shows how certain beds change in character and thickness from place to place or even thin out and disap- pear. It enables the geologist to draw some conclusions as to the former dis tribution of land and sea, to distin- guish the deposits laid down in deep water from those spread by rivers over their flood plains, and to recon struct in imagination the course of events at a time long before the be- ginning of the Grand Canyon. Such a comparison has recently been made for Arizona and is published by the United States geological survey, de- partment of the interior, as ''Profes- sional Paper 9S-K," by F. L. Ransome, geOlOgist. The report is obtainable on request from the director.

JITNEY DRIVERS ARE DISAPPOINTED
IFrom Oatman Section Daily Miner.I

IFrom Oatman Section Daily Miner.I There is quite a bunch of very de- serving young men in Oatman who did not wish the United States of America and bad luck, yet who down deep in their hearts are sorely dis appointed that the big railroad strike failed to come off. Those are the gentlemen who are engaged in the worthy cause of operating jitneys.
 Had there been a strike the jitneys of Oatman, now suffering somewhat from ennui in their trade would be plying between here and Los Angeles at S25 per. They planned to make the scheduled run in 19 hours and to go and come laden to the guards with human cargoes. It is the case now that autos that have been chartered to come here or happen to stop here headed westward, frequently are to be seen on the streets placarded for Los Angeles, some with posted prices for fares of S1O each. But none pretend that there is any big money in it at that rate and there would have been no question of getting the $25 with the Santa Fe paralyzed from Kingman and Needles to the coast city.

KINGMAN DEFENDERS
 LOSE ID CHLORIDERS IN NATIONAL GAME
IFrOm Wednesdays Daily MiDerI

Labor day afternoon the Kingman ball team journeyed to the town of Chloride and received a nice walloping at the hands of the Chloride twirlers, the score being to 5. The game was of the high class variety until the eighth inning when the home team made four runs.
 The Chloride bunch had a new line up and should have easily showed un- der the representatives of the county seat. Harry Price did the backstop- ping for the miners and Davidson and Venable, two "semi-pro" ball players from the coast played third and first, respectively. The stars of the day in the field were Fred King and Tommy Clark, each one making some of the pretty catches. John McKesson, King mans "sidearm" slabster, pitched one of the best games of his career and with any kind of support or hitting behind him would have easily brought home the bacon.
 Williams, a new members of the Kingman team who was showed into the game in the eighth inning, got the cleanest hit of the day, a triple to right that made "Red" White move his weary bones a whole lot faster than he cared too.

TIN Is FOUND IN
 NORTHERN NEVADA

Tin ore has recently been found in
 the extreme northern part of Lander
 county, Nevada, in an unnamed short
 range of hills 20 miles north of Battle
 Mountain, town on the Southern Pa cifccifc system. It was discovered by chance by an employe of the Russell cattle ranch, in which the range is sit uated, who had picked up from the all luvial wash at the base of the range a piece of curious looking "rock." What the substance was, however, remained unknown until a mining engineer who had been in Mexico chanced to see it at Battle Mountain and recognized it as "wood tin," a name given to that form of the natural oxide of tin that is characterized by a concentric band ing resembling the annual growth rings of wood. Search was immediate ly made for the bedrock source of the ore, which has already been found at several places in a belt 2 miles long. At the request of Senator Pittman these occurrences were recently exam ined by Adolph Knopf, a geologist of the United States geological survey, department of the interior.
 The ore occurs in narrow veinlets in rhyolite lavas, which were erupted in middle Tertiary time. In places the veinlets are sufficiently numerous to form low grade lodes, but because of the small development work so far done not much is known as to the size, extent, and richness of these lodes. The indication of the stronger lodes, taken in connection with their geology, are, in the opinion of government ge- ologists, such as to warrant further exploration.
 The deposits resemble closely those of the Mexican states of Durango, Zacatecas and Guanajuato, but are wholly unlike all other tin deposits, most of which are associated with in trusive granites. Not only has the tin ore been found in place at a number of localities over considerable area, but placer tin ore has been found in all the gulches heading in this area, and also in some of those at the north end of Shoshone mesa, the prominent ba- salt-capped tableland north of Battle Mountain. The known tin-bearing belt is small fraction of a great area 1900 square miles or more-in this part of Nevada that is underlain by rhyolites similar to those associated with the tin ore in northern Lander county. This rhyolitic area extends at least as far north as the Nevada-Idaho state line. Clearly this area merits further attention from the prospector, especially such parts of it as have been but superfcially examined be- cause they are barren of deposits of precious metals.

GREAT THINGS THIS
 FALL, SAYS WEBER
(From oatman Section Daily Miner.J

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 "We are going to have a monster boom this fall," said Arthur Weber enthusiastically yesterday after his return from visit of several weeks at Los Angeles. At all the brokerage offices, at the exchange and at the hotels, I heard Oatman talked about and do not think that in all my stay heard over two persons speak in the least unafvorably. The truth is we have lots of friends there and they are speaking well of Oatman. They expect big boom here this fall and are preparing for it. They are going to put in their money and you will see it spent in Oatman when things get going, as I know they are going to go."
 MT. Weber was working all during his absence on his own mining affairs and he will be ready in a short time to make an important announcement with reference to his success. He is interested in several groups in the camp, one of which is the Mohave- Wonder, lying next to the Sunnyside, the latter recently purchased by the United Eastern interests.

EASTERN GIRL BECOMES BRIDE OF DR. SHADRAGH

Dr. W. G. Shadrach and Miss Mary E. Smith were married at the court house yesterday by Judge John A. Ellis. Dr. Shadrach has been a resi- dent of Chloride for the past year and during that time has made a world of friends. The bride is an amiable young lady, who is a new arrival in this country, arriving in Kingman just prior to their marriage from the East. A number of Dr. Shadrach's friends from Chloride witnessed the ceremony. After a wedding break fast at local hotel the party left for their home in Chloride.
