REGISTRATION CLOSES
 WITH FINE SHOWING
From Tuesdays Daily Minerl

The total registration of Oatman, Goldroad and Old Trails numbered 969 voters, who by having thus com piled with the law are entitled to cast ballots in the primaries on September 12. Oatman has 792, Goldroad 100 and Old Trails 62, with 15 to be divid- ed between Times and Old Trails, they having registered in Oatman but will vote at those places.
 In none of the places is it thought that all the voters registered. At Old Trails it is definitely known that there are several who have not reg istered for the primaries, but who will do so afterward and vote in the Nov ember election.
 Party affiliations of Oatman and Goldroad show about 75 per cent De- mocrats, with the remainder divided between Republicans and Socialists. It is known that great many regis tered as>belonging to the dominant party in order to participate in the primaries as such, but who will vote other tickets in the election. At Old Trails the registration shows lead for Republicans over the others.
 Since such a large proportion of the local people, men and women, came here within a year and, therefore, are not entitled to vote, this, while a very large showing, nowhere near repre- sents the total adult population. Were the registration and election to take place four to six months later the figures would be trebled.
 The registration officers are: Oat- man, H. M. Caswell; Goldroad, John Beaton; Old Trails, H. Ray Woods.

BACK FROM OUTING
 IN EASTERN ARIZONA

M. G. Wagner and family returned Saturday from a months vacation and camping trip. They attended the snake dance of the Hopi Indians after which they visited the White River mountains, Wolf Creek and Lake Mary and also took in the cliff dwellings and ice caves. They made two days stop at the Grand Can yon on the trip out. They report a good time with lots of fish and grouse.
 Mrs. Wagner found the Hopi Indians especially entertaining and was much impressed by their cleanliness and cus- toms. She says that she was much surprised at the conversational abili- ties of the maidens.

GOOD EXTENSION IS
 FOUND AT UNION PASS
CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner.)

From OdLIIldu DeCLloh DdAAs AAAAeAsl
 On an extension of the Oatman- Revenue ledge 4S00 feet away from the company's camp at Union Pass, Superintendent Henry Johnson has found ore that pans free gold. He has not assayed it but thinks the pan, nings indicate a value of s6 or S7 a ton. The extension had not previous ly been located and it's discovery is of great interest to him.
 Mir. Johnson says the ledge is very wide and lies quite flat. Sitxy feet is the estimate of its probable width. It is a showing second only to that at the point where it has been determined to sink, if not it's equal.
 The wagon road to the camp was completed a couple of days ago. It was heavy piece of work, but good route and smooth roads were secured. For the time Mir. Johnson will be here and have plenty to do making maps of his finds there. With that com pleted exploratory work will be in augurated, probably in three or four weeks.

BOYS INVITED ID SHOW
 BY POLIN BROTHERS
CFrOm oatman Section Daily Miner.)

(From Oatman Section Daily Miner.)
 Next Monday night all the boys in town will be at the Star theatre. They will be the guests of honor and it will not cost them anything to get that honor. They are to be the guests of Polin brothers, Louis Polin having shown his usual enterprise and pur- chased tickets for them and wishes them to enjoy themselves to the limit at the expense of his firm.
 The particular ones to which at tention is to be paid are the newsboys who sell the papers for which the firm is agent, principal of which is the Mohave Daily Miner. Tell any news boy in town that the "Mohave", as they call it, is "no good" and you will have him on your collar in jiffy. They defend it on the ground that it is a great newspaper, with full "assosted" press, all about the Oatman mines and because everybody buys it.
 It will be worth twice the cost for the older inhabitants of these parts to go and watch the little fellows do their tricks both on and off the stage.

LOCAL SCHOOL OPENS
 ON SEPTEMBER lS

School in Oatman will open Septem- Der IS, two weeks from yesterday, and it is a known fact that the at tendance will be so large as to over tax the capacity of the schoolhouse, as well as to give plenty for two teachers to do, and quite a little more.
 It will not be possible to have the new school erected and ready oc- cupancy before the first ,of the year. Even that is a guess, as the $10,000 bonds recently unanimously voted, have not been sold. That will have to be done before plans and speciica- tions can be considered, though ar chitects are understood to be working on data in anticipation of having an opportunity at the work.

LUNCEFORD HEARD FROM

A letter from Bert Lunceford, ma nager of the United Western and a candidate for county supervisor, who is at Pasadena, has been received by Frank Reimer, secretary of the Geo. tillo club. He states that he will re- turn here in a few days. A son was born to the Luncefords a month ago and it is thought that the mother and child will be able to make the journey by that time.

SUPERVISOR WALKER GIVES FACTS UPON
 OLD TRAILS ROAD
[Frsm Tuesdays Daily MinerI Editor, Mohave Daily Miner, Kingman, Arizona.


 Mohave Daily Miner,
 Kingman, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:
 In the Mohave Daily Miner of Sept. 3rd, 1916, there appeared a news item from the oatman-Goldroad District, "Old Trails Washout Gradually Im- proved".
 In order to correct an erroneous i'm pression, and avoid misunderstanding, the following facts are given to. all parties interested or concerned:-
 Several months ago certain parties interested in the Old Trails Townsite, Mazona, and other subdivisions west of Oatman, appeared before the board of supervisors with a plan to change the county road then in use to follow along a certain street which they proposed to improve, and desired this street to be adopted as the coun- ty road.
 The matter was referred to the county engineer who reported that the street as improved through Old Trails was at the time good, well graded road or street, but was laid out in broken wash bottom, subject to over flow, and likely to be totally des- troyed by the first flood.
 No provision whatever had been made for taking care of flood waters, and the adoption of this street as a part of the county road would nee essitate expensive work to protect it, which work would have to be done mostly on ground already cut into lots and blocks, and held at the time at high speculative value.
 Inasmuch as the parties most in terested had failed to take the slight est precautions against damage by floods, and the acceptance of this street as a county road would ul- timately place the county at great expense in trying to maintain a road in an impossible location, the engineer advised against it's acceptance.
 When this street was washed out recently, MT. Rowley telephoned to O. E. Walker, chairman of board of supervisors, asking that a force of men be placed at work at once re- pairing this street, and was informed that all such matters were referred to the county engineer, and that no work was done nor any expense incurred unless previously authorized by him.
 On Sept. 2 the situation was looked into thoroughly and discussed in Mr. Rowley's office, at Old Trails.
 No promises whatever were made Mir. Rowley or any other person as to what work would be done or when it would be done. The only definite statement made was to the effect that the matter would be placed before the board of supervisors at the next meet l ing for it's consideration. ! O. E. WALKER,
 Chairman of Boardlof Supervisors

MANY INQUIRIES
 AS ID COTTON

Inquiries concerning the growing of lopg staple cotton in Arizona have become SO numerous within the past few weeks, that the local chamber of commerce has recently published a descriptive booklet giving all of the desired information.
 Tho data included Is also of great benefit to growers in tile state. mas much as IL tellss the best methods to follow to secure the greatest results. Hundreds Of these booklets have al- reauy been distributed and the ap- plications are coming s6 fast that t is believed the present supply will bc exhausted before the end of the pres ent month
 Following are excerpts from the publication:
 "On account of the Digh value and comWercial importance of Long Staple cotton. the United States department of agricultural. about cigh; years ago. began experiments in it's production at the experiment station operated in conjunction with the Pima Indian school at SacatOn. near the Salt river valley. Arizona.
 "The first year tho methods nsed in growing upland cotton. were usedl and from field of 250 pounds of lint to the acre the cotton has been Ge- veloped to a point where n bale. jGn pounds to the acre is ordinary and lnn 10 zoo rounds per acre .s oDtained
