This week representatives of the
United Fruit Co., of New Orleans,
have been going over st. Andrews
Bay with a view of moving their
vast interests here and having St,
Andrews bay their headquarters.

of the desirability of moving their
business to St. Andrews Bay.-Lynn

TOBACCO CROP IN
GADSDEN COUN TY
TO Be BEST EVER
SPECIAL 10 THE JOURNAL

Quincy, Fla, Aug. 5.-The tobacco
crop in Gadsden county will be the
best ever raised in that section and
q conservative valuation of $2,225,-
600 is placed upon it, the shade crop
alone is valued at 100000. The
crop is now practically in the houses
of those who have purchased here
for the past several years.
The crop of sun tobacco this year
is about 1000 pounds an acre, which
is considered an extra yield. The
crop is almost perfect, and 1t cannot
be recalled by even the oldest in
the business when there was not
some damage to the crop. This year
conditions could not be made better
no storms, halls, worms or other
damaging agents have appeared
which make the leaf imperfect.
The cotton crop is good, but is q
side issue with many persons, anf
the large returns from sun tobacco
make the raising improbable. Hay
is also big crop this year and many
of the farmers have taken advantage
of the fair weather last week, Il
make hay.
1t is estimated that there will b
more sweet potatoes than can b
cared for on the home market, anc
many will be shipped. Hogs are il
fine condition with plenty of graiI
and pastures to fatten, and enough
meat for home consumption as wei
as shipment now looks possible.

GOLF CLUB ID BE
 ORGANIZED HERE

As a beginning for better things for Kingman in the way of wholesome entertainment and sport and a step toward the organization of a country club, a splendid golf course has been laid out about two miles from town, just over the hills in the Wallapai valley. The site is picturesque, com mands a beautiful view of the valley and will compare, when completed, with many celebrated golf links that have cost $15O,O0O or more. The tees and greens have been established and a nine hole course laid out.
 The leveling and other work has been done at the personal expense of c. N. Nickel, who was assisted in the plans by R. W. Wilde. In the center of the links a square has been cleared for tennis grounds and a site for recreation park that would do credit to any city many times the size of Kingman. The grounds are on sec tion 13, which is railroad land.
 An organization will soon be per fected. Many of the prominent busi- ness men of Kingman have signifed their approval of the project and will become members of the club. The golf course will be a decided attrac- tion to lovers of the popular Scotch game and will no doubt prove a draw ing card for tourists and be the means of making Kingman a tourist resort in the not far distant future.

CHLORIDE RESIDENTS
 URGED ID PAINT UP
IFrOm Chloride Section Daily Miner.I

IFrom Chloride Section Daily miner.1
 One of the leading citizens of Chlor- idle has suggested to the Daily Miner that it open a campaign to persuade owners of unpainted houses to apply to them a coat of paint, thereby mak- ing their property more slightly. Scores of houses along Tennessee avenue are deteriorating for want of little paint. The lumber has grown black, making comparatively new houses have the appearance of "tumbledowns."
 The Daily Miner has thought so we'll of the suggestion that it has brought the attention of the Chloride Stores Company and the F'ridley Hardware Company to the matter, with the re- quest that they aid in the plan of beau tifying the town by making a reduc- tion in the price of paint for a short period. Both have agreed to cut of 10 per cent in all paints to those pur- chasing during the week beginning Monday, October 23d.
 The Daily Miner earnestly hopes that all who can will avail themselves of this liberal reduction during Paint Week and put their buildings in bet ter dress for the coming winter. A cover of whitewash is more preferable than an unpainted exterior. Old build ings can be made to look like new with the addition of a few dollars worth of paint.
 It is to be hoped that Paint Week will be made a success. Much can be done by cooperation in a matter of this kind, and the results will be so gratifying that everyone will feel hap pier for living in a newly painted town. The life of the buildings will be prolonged and every building painted will have increased in value many dol lars more than the cost of the paint.
 Everybody remember Paint Week, beginning Monday, October 23.

IMPORTANT RULING
 Is HANDED DOWN
 IN FEDERAL COURT

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 17.-That the law is unconstitutional and that it would force an unreasonable conflict with the rights of a corporation to conduct it's business, were reasons given by Judge William w. Morrow, of the federal court, this morning for making permanent the temporary in junction of the Copper Queen Mining company against the state corporation commission and the attorney general. It is understood there will be no ap- peal.
 Judge Morrow rendered the deci- sion, with Judges Van Fleet and Saw telle concurring. The order, to be drawn up by the attorneys for the complaining corporation, will be signed by the judges.
 Judge Morrow said, among other things, that if the law should stand it would prevent the company from ever going into bankruptcy, or itigating a patent, or taking any legal action which might require federal jurisdic- tion. The statute under which the state sought to revoke the charter of the company, says that it shall be un- lawful for corporation to take an ac- tion from a state to a federal court, under certain circumstances. The suit was in no manner a fight, but was merely to decide once and for all whether the law was constitutional or not.

THIRD SHIPMENT OF !. CONCENTRATES MADE
 BY ARIZONA BUTTE

The third car of concentrates from the Arizona Butte mill was loaded for shipment to the smelter yesterday. They have a value of approximately $125 per ton and each car shipped or prepared for shipment this for con 'tained 30 tons, giving a total value of s375O to the car. The mill is able to turn out about three cars a week or better.
 J. c. Wilson, John H. Ware and I. M. George accompanied Superinten- dent Crowther to the mines and mill recently. The party went through the Banner mine and were surprised with the splendid showing of ore. In stope IT there was five feet of solid ore exposed that will run above 50 per cent metal. This ore, of course, has to be milled on account of being about evenly divided in values between lead and zinc. The gold and silver con- tent of the ore are good, the concen- trates running from $1O to s45 to the ton in the two metals.
 The company is driving the big tun- nel rapidly into the hill, and will soon be in ore in the big vein. This tun- mel is sure to become one of the great est assets of Mohave county, as it will open up at great depth numerous veins that have produced millions from surface ores. The veins will be cut at depths varying from 600 to 1900 feet.
Mohave County miner., 1916-10-21

Of the two reclamation plans included in the present bill, the northwestern or Wieringen polder consists of very good clay ground, and the southwest ern or Hoorn polder of the very best clay soil. Moreover, these are the most favorably situated for a speedy agricultural development, where, too, there are good markets, and from whence the capital can be reached in a short time by good rail and water ways.
 Spread over the 15 years, the cost of the restricted scheme works out at an expenditure of about S2,900,000 an- nually, not reckoning the extra expen- allure necessitated for special meas ures in the interests of the country's defence. For the reclamation scheme, or at any rate that part of it which provides for the ultimate drainage of the southeastern polder, extending right across the southern part of the Zuyder Zee, must necessarily involve drastic changes in the defences of Hol- lands chief fortress and capital, Amsterdam. The government there fore announces that nothing will in any case be done until a separate law has also been passed relating to such requirements, this law again nec- essarily depending on the results of a searching inquiry to be carried out when the war is over and the new conditions can be surveyed in the light thereof.
 A considerable period must there fore even now elapse before the Zuy- der Zee project eventuates. As a mat ter of fact, the first Zuyder Zee re- clamation bill was introduced as long ago as 1877, and others of subsequent date likewise failed to reach the sta ute book. But the whole of national opinion now seems to be strongly be- hind the scheme. Moreover, Holland has plentiful supply of money at the present time, the gold stocks of its central bank being three and a half times as large as at the outbreak of war; and the wars effects both at home and abroad have accustomed people to contemplating the expendi- ture of vast sums of money. The i'm portance of such a reinforcement of the cOuntry's agricultural land in peace and war is not overlooked, nor the opening the project will offer after the war to Dutch industry and labor. The scheme has therefore better pros poets of realization and ever before in it's long history.

WILL LAY SEWER AND
 WATER LINES IN CAMP
fFrom oatman Section Daily Miner)

From Oatman Section Daily Miner)
 The Oatman Water and Sewer com pany was recently granted a permit by the board of county supervisors to lay sewer and water lines to any part of the district. Permission has also been secured from the Corporation Commission to sell and otherwise dis pose of stock. It is understood that the new company will take over the mains and equipment of the Tom Reed Mining company, which has furnished water to many Oatman residents since the first days of the Tom Reed mine.
 It has been a hardship on the Tom Reed company to furnish the town at times. In the beginning that com pany only developed enough water for mill purposes, and in. summer when water is scarce and in demand on all sides, the company has had difficulty in supplying the town.
 The new company will get water from the Colorado river, and, with added equipment and mains, will have no difficulty in supplying the ever growing demand. It is stated that with the taking over of the Tom Reed system by the new company that reduction will be made in the prices. At present a charge of $3 is made per month for a maximum of 500 gal Ions. This is said to be the highest rate charged in the State.

IFrOm wednesday's Daily MiDerI

Considerable surprise and excite ment were occasioned yesterday morn ing when Barbee S. Hook and wife of Victorville, Cal, went to a local ga rage for their touring car, left in stor- age the night before, and found that suitcase containing Mrs. Hooks wear ing apparel had disappeared from the running board of the auto.
 Mir. and Mrs. Hook were accom- panied by Mir. and Mrs. Raymond B. Morris, and the entire party was cer- tain that the grip was on the car when left at the garage. The mana ger and employees of the garage state that they do not know whether or not it was on the car when it was left there. They think that perhaps it may have been lost en route and not missed until yesterday morning.
 An advertisement offering S25 for the return of the grip is published in this issue of the Miner.

Josiah Winchester, formerly of this district, where he made rich stake in the Doctor mine, according to recent advice, has secured options on 600 acres of ground lying between the Green Monster and the properties of the United Verde Extension near Jerome, Arizona Associated with Joe Winchester in this venture are John Tait Milliken and other Colorado Springs capitalists and the financing of the company to be formed is as sured. A fine body of copper ore has been opened up on the Green Monster and the inference is that the trend of the ore bodies is directly through the Winchester holdings.

 The Nellie shaft is but 1000 feet from where the Black Range has dis closed such excellent values upon the same vein. The hanging wall of the vein has been entered, the vein matter being of the green adularia order and carrying better values than anticip- ated, as the better portion of the vein lies next to the footwall.
 On the $50 foot level the water is increasing as the crosscut is extended but the pump is taking care of the flow.
