Orders to prepare the equipment Of
the Ashland first company of the Ore
gon Coast Artillery Corps and get in
touch with all the members as meas
ures of preparation anticipating Or
ders for mobilization of the Oregon
militia were received yesterday, and
the Ashland company is in readiness
to get under way within twenty hours
should mobilization orders, which are
expected hourly, arrive. Rumors
were prevalent yesterday on the
streets that the Medford company had
been ordered to Mexico and the Ash
land company to Fort Stevens, but
without foundation As far as can
be learned at present, the move con-
templated is a mobilization of the
militia of the state at Clackamas.
The local company would probably go
into service relieving the regulars at
Fort Stevens, should the call come.
The news was received with but
little excitement except among the
younger members of the company.

Illumination Makes Park
Night Vision Of Beauty

we'll. All Of the lamps are strung
among the trees, and neither at night
nor during the day are the wires visi-
BILE, so Cleverly was the work done.
Charming scenes are revealed by the
illumination arrangement, night pic
lures of tumbling waters and stately
trees fringed by the shadows which
always approach but never envelop.
And soon as the trails along the
creek are followed, blue lights ahead
announce that the visitor is approach
ing Satan's Sulphur Grotto. A red
radience is thrown out apparently
from the hillside, but upon nearer
approach is seen to come from the
depths of cave which punctures the
hillside. Mingling with the flood of
red, flamelike illumination come the
fumes Of sulphur, and imagination
pictures the cave to be watched over
by a giant Satan. The sulphur cave
is the feature Of the new park which
has perhaps caused the most comment
of any, and the Sulphur Grotto at
night, with the uncanny lighting ar
rangement, comes nearer affording a
semblance Of visit to the bowels OF
the earth than seems possible.
Just beyond Satans Grotto the Wis
itor bursts upon the triumph of the
electricians. A brilliant sheen OF
flashing water squirting out of a
granite cliff tumbles over the moss
grown rocks in an efferyescent, lum-
inous refulgence of beauty. Like the
tree the falls at night must be seen
to be appreciated. The effect is
gained by indirect floods Of light
from giant searchlights, but that an
effect of such indescribable beauty
can be gained by purely mechanical
means beggars description. The
great wall of granite, the tumbllng
falls, take ON a silvery, scintillating
resplendence of concentrated moon
light and floods Of diamonds.
Lithia Park at night offers an un-
explored world to Ashland and to the
valley. No matter If you have ex-
ployer every nook and Granny of the
park under the sunlight, the wond-
drous beauty OF the park at night
transforms the familiar places into
little bits Of fairyland. Go up to-
night.
Lithia Park is we'll lighted. All

Closing Out Sale
Is Unprecedented

Unprecedented crowds are jamming
3eebe e Kinney's store daily and
taking advantage of the exceptional
bargains which are being offered in
their sensational closing out sale.
People from all over the valley are
coming to this city to attend the sale
attracted by the values, and are re-
turning and sending their friends af-
ter seeing for themselves the slashing
reductions which have carried the
prices on everything down to and be-
low wholesale.
This old-established firm has an
immense stock of high quality goods,
but are disposing of it with a speed
which impresses haste if one would
get in on the good things offered.

Lithia Park at night has been
transformed from place of fearsome
pitch dark paths whose pitfalls
caught the feet of the seeker for lithia
water, into a veritable fairyland of
beauty. Hundreds of electric lamps,
scattered as if strewn by comet
shower among the trees of the park,
make Lithia park a land of enchant-
ment whose night beauty will soon
draw larger crowds than its daylight
attractions.
The illumination of Lithia Park
was the last act of the springs water
commission prior to turning over the
park to the park board of the city on
June 10.
The path through Chautauqua
Park, the main foot entrance to
Lithia Park, has been lighted by
strings of bulbs hung from the trees,
and Park avenue is Illuminated with
high-power street lights. This part
of the lighting system is simply utili-
tartan and will be accepted by the
visitor as a matter of course, but
when Lithia Park comes into view a
gasp of wonder is elected from even
the most emotional. Holding the
center of the picture is an immense
tree, one hundred feet in height,
which in the daytime appears not un-
like hundred other trees in the
vicinity but which at night is SHIN
mering, transparent cloud of waving
brilliancy. Scores of light bulbs
strung through the branches create
an offset which is simply indescrib-
able. The great tree is of no color
which can be named; it evokes re-
membrance of nothing unless it be
that of single cloud high in the sky
which shimmers with sunlight as twl-
light falls over the earth. One great
arc lamp would produce as much
light as the many bulbs in the
branches of the tree, but as unique
feature the tree is worth no one
knows how much to the park.
The trails through the park from
the fountain plaza, which is as bright
as day with the brilliant radia-
from the circles of lights on the foun-
tains and bandstand, invite the visitor
with lights beckoning through the
waving branches The trails are all
lighted we'll enough, and yet not too

Fire in Oregon
Hotel Basement

A fire started last Saturday even
ing in the basement of the Hotel Ore
gon, but was luckily discovered be-
fore 1t had gained much headway and
was extinguished by Fire Chief Robi-
son and Driver Guiley with the aid
of chemical extinguishers and water.
The alley at the back OF the hotel
proved too narrow to allow of admit
tance of the truck and the fighting
was done mostly by hand.

Leather Pennant
Is Most Artistic

One of the most artistic pennants
advertising the coming celebration
which has been exhibited around
Ashland yet is three-color, all-leath-
err pennant, the work of John Volpe.
The pennant is about three feet long
and bears the words "Lithia Springs
Celebration, Ashland, July 4, 8, g."
Each letter is cut out of leather and
sewed on separately. The background
is of cream colored leather of soft
texture.

First Appearance

The boys band, which under the
dictatorship of Carl Loveland has
been working hard all winter, made
its first appearance Sunday and made
a pleasing impression. 1t must be
remembered that every one Of the

produced in view of that fact is most
creditable and would have done credit
to older bands.

Find Vein Of Coal

A fifteen-inch vein of good coal
has been opened up by Messrs. Chap

ing up a coal prospect on the Murphy
place east of Ashland. The vein looks
promising and is widening as the
miners get into it. A big coal mine
near Ashland begins to look like a

DEMOCRATS CONTROL
 IDAHO LEGISLATURE

BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 27.-The Demo- cratic party, for the first time in four teen years, has control of both branches of the Idaho legislature which convenes January 8, with the reelection of Governor Moses Alex ander, Democrat, and the election of Ernes L. Parker, Democrat, as Lieu tenant Governor, the legislative pro- gram of that party will, apparently, have clear sailing.
 c. S. Moody, adjutant general of the state and one of the few mem- bers elect, who has seen previous ser vice, is a candidate for speaker of the house. The house is composed of 36 Democrats and 19 Republicans and the senate q Democrats and 16 Repub- licans.
 As a result of the Democratic land slide in the state few of the former legislative leaders will participate in the coming session. Peter G. John son, of Blaclfoot, for many years Re publican floor leader in the house was reelected and will have no opposition for that honor.
 A brief session, with adjournment before the 6O-day limit, something that has never before taken place in Idaho, is the Democratic program. Little legislation of importance is proposed. Revision of the election laws, with the probable dOingaway with party symbols on the ballot, will be one of the most important tasks confronting the legislature. Economy and tax reduction will be the slogan of the majority party.

ID REMAIN UP
 AFTER WAR

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 26. u. S. G. Todd, a mining engineer of Los Angeles, who has recently been looking over the booming copper camps of Arizona, is in the city. He gives it as his opinion that the great boom in copper is permanent propo- sition and bases this statement upon the fact that the 1917 production has practically been contracted.
 Notwithstanding that great de- mand for copper has, in a measure, been created by the European war;" he says, should the war cease within six months the reconstruction and the spreading out of the uses of copper will maintain the price for at least three years to come. Of course, the boom in all of the baser metals has been largely created by the war, and it is the one great element which is now centering capital upon the mining field.
 Arizona is experiencing one of the greatest booms in mining it has ever had. Take the great copper camps of Bisbee, Jerome and Chloride and you will find veritable beehives. In fact, the population of Chloride has more than trebled in six months"
 It is of the future of Chloride that Mir. Todd speaks most enthusiastically He is interested in the Hughes Ari- zona Copper company that has recent ly been organized and is now develop ing the Copper Hill and Alma prop critics.
 "Mr. John B. Hughes, gentleman who has been in Chloride and made a thorough study of the ores and prop critics of that camp since 1903, is the president of the company. The work is being carried on steadily and dis play of the ores that have been en- countered in the ore shoot in the work ings of the property, which is a tun- nel now in BIO feet, are on display in Salt Lake and Los Angeles.H

concerted mining effort, and to the conservative publicity accorded the local mining industry in the mining and general news press of the state and country. That results have jus tifed the mining and publicity efforts is demonstrated by the county's min eral production, by the large amount of capital invested here during the year and by the extensive mining, milling and smelting operations now in force.
 At the outset of the year 1916 min ing, milling and smelting operations were by no means so general as at present. With the passing of the months, however, Yavapai county caught it's stride in the march of min ing and general business prosperity that is sweeping over Arizona, and be- came banner-bearing county among the counties of state that stands well to the fore in mining and investment importance. The good work accom- plished during 1916 is but a marker for that contemplated during 1917 by the men who are establishing the county's mining industry on a copper bottomed base. The plans for the coming year include enlarged mining, milling and smelting operations and an increase of at least one-third in mineral production over the record made the current year.
 The United Verde and the United Verde Extension mines are a good pair to draw to in the local mining game. That is to say, they offer an incentive for concentrated effort without which no game is either interesting or remu- nerative. The men who played" the

CHLORIDE FEATURED
 IN DE LUXE EDITION
CFrom Chloride Heraldl


 Within few days little gray fiv- yer will be seen fitting and fivering hither and thither in and about our magnetic mineral center.
 G. B. Lindsley, now the feature rep resentative of the Mohave County and Daily Miner, has an especially elabor- ate task in the production of ''The Mo have County De Luxe Edition of 1917, and the little gray Ford above re- ferred to is acting as one of his bowers as a call is made on each and every active property, whether mining or otherwise, in the county necessitat- ing it's use.
 This De Luxe Edition is as it's name implies, one indeed, as it will contain pictorial review, as well as editorial, of everything of interest to everyone with interest in our ever interesting and progressive county. MT. Lindley states that this book will contain from 60 to 80 pages, magazine size, with magazine paper embellished in an ar tistic way with art layouts and pen sketches of prominent people drawn by Jack Box, famous facial delineator and illustrator, from New York.
 As the book far surpasses any ever attempted in Arizona to date and will do our county a world of good, 1t seems in order that every live wire should attach theirselves to the idea of sending a few sparks into this boosting dynamo helping to charge 1t with unlimited power for publicity good by that assistance and by send ing through the mail hot shot of in- formation into the world about Mo have County and it's mineral wealth.
 "The Mineral Kingdom" is the slo- gan used on the title page, and this page contains a fine picture, with oth- CTS, of Chloride, and as a goodly DOT tion of the inside pages will be given to the portraying of Chloride as a strong example of our leading mining camps, it would seem that our imme- diate locality will profit by the sparks of information sent out by the Mohave County and Daily Miner spe- cial publicity dynamo, the De Luxe Edition.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Dec. 26.-Cop- per, gold, silver, tungsten, lead and zinc to the value of s92, ,2O2, ,126 were produced in Yavapai county during the year 1916. The table of classified ton and value follows:
 Copper, 1O8,629,6OO pounds, value, s27,157,4OO.
 Gold, 145,664 ounces, value, $2,567,- 624.
 Placer gold, 4OOO ounces, value, ESQ., 900.
 Silver, 3,686,O29 ounces, value, $2,- 297,1O2.
 Lead and zinc concentrates, $1OO,- 900.
 Tungsten, $2O,OOO.
 Grand total, s92 2,2O2,126.
 The total value of the ores treated is based upon copper at 5cents per pound; gold reclaimed at smelters at S19 per ounce; gold taken from placers at $15 per ounce, and silver, 621z cents per ounce. The values placed on lead and zinc concentrates and tungsten are estimates, and apply only to ship ments made to smelting points outside of Yavapai county.
 Gold and Silver are what might be not inaptly termed bi-products of the ores of this county to a considerable extent-particularly of the copper ores of the Verde district and elsewhere and in compiling the production fig ures for 1916 their presence in all of the base ores has been recognized.
 That prosperity has followed the peripheries of the mine, mill and shelter circles of this county during the year just rounding out is due to

sertions made by experts, who, some time ago examined the property to the effect that the main body of ore would be encountered by the tunnel at a depth approximating 300 feet.
 u is the intention of the company to run the present tunnel deeper and then to crosscut to the company's main vein, which parallels the smaller vein at present being followed.
 No assays had been made from the face of the tunnel where it now is up to the time of going to press, but de- terminations made from samples taken several days ago showed values as high as S296.
