CAMP WILL. SOON
 HAVE ELECTRICITY
tFrom oatman Section Daily Miner)

lErOm Oatman section Daily Mlnerl
 The construction gang of the Desert Power and Water Company moved it's camp into Chloride yesterday morning. The line is now almost opposite Gus Holmes, Jr's. residence. The camp will be enjoying electric light and power on or about November l.
 Already stOrekeepers are laying in large stocks of electrical supplies, and there will be a heavy demand for electrical mining machinery.
 The company has been compelled to alter it's plans several times since con- struction was commenced on account of the unexpected growth of the camp. The first plans called for tenn porary structures to house the trans former apparatus, but the certainty of a heavy and permanent demand and assurances of the continued rapid growth of the camp, due to the large increase of mining activities, has com pelled the company to decide upon modern structures, more in keeping with the camps importance.
 The company has already expended S35,0O0 on this extension of it's line from Golconda to Chloride and large portion of the work, such as in- stalling the transformer station and lines throughout the camp and to the various mines remains to be done. This work will keep the company's gang of workmen employed steadily for several months.

 The Enocker is gone. His funeral was held Friday night. He is now under the sod so deep that he will never again be able to wield his ham mer.
 All this was accomplished, and more, at the meeting of the Oatman boosters at the Star Theatre Friday night. Boost is to be the everlasting slogan of the Oatman Chamber of Mines which is dominated by the peo- pie of Oatman, and for the people of Oatman and Mohave county. The meeting was called to order at 500 o'clock by A. G. Heating of the Big Jim. Paul Geary was then chosen permanent chairman and took the chair. He addressed the meeting re- lative to the purposes of the organiza- tion. He urged cooperation in an effort to put Oatman and Mohave on the map where it justly belongs. The applause he received was proof the audience was with him soul and body. He paid a tribute to the boosters who have put Oatman where it is, and urged all to aid in the movement to make Mohave county the largest min eral producing section in the world. A. c. Eisen was unanimously elected secretary-treasurer of the organiza- ton.
 The chairman called up w. F. Gray of the Times for a talk. MT. Gray, in the course of his remarks, sug- gested that a chamber of mines be established. The suggestion was un- animously adopted. He also urged a campaign of publicity. Every strang- CT who visits the district is to be in terviewed. Such interviews are to be given to the local press and home papers of the persons interviewed. In this manner a vast amount of publicity may be procured without cost it was claimed. Other methods of advertis- ing will be determined by a committee of seven members which is to be ap- pointed by chairman Geary. MT. Geary outlined plans that may be car ried out successfully with the CO., operation of all the people, He stated that there is not another camp in the world today which has the vast re- sources and possibilities found here, and that with proper advertising that another few years will see Oatman one of the most thriving and largest producing districts in the world.

CAMP ROBBERIES
 BEING REPORTED
CFrom Sundays Daily Miner.)

Many complaint have come to King man the past several months regard ing the robbing of the various camps of supplies. The camp of James w. Quinn was robbed and burned a few days ago, and Mir. Quinn is in town to replace the camp equippage and pro visions.
 Other camps have been robbed from the north end of the mountains to the Venture camp. All kinds of eatables have been taken, and several men have had to come to town to get nee essary supplies to maintain the camp after a raid by the bold, bad fellow.
 Some time ago a man was arrested for the killing of a calf and at the time it was stated that he confessed to the robbery of a camp in the neigh borhood of Wheeler's cabin. It is probable that this is the same fellow, although it may be that he is some poor dernented human who should be looked after by the authorities.

COMMERCIAL HOTEL
 CAFE AGAIN OPEN
LFrom Sundays Daily MinerI


 Many people in Kingman and Mo have county as well as the travelling public will be interested to know that the Commercial Hotel has reopened its splendid dining room which during the past summer became so popular with the lovers of good eating and service. The patronage it received did not seem to warrant the contin- uance but Mir. Davis the proprietor of the hotel has been beseiged with requests to reopen 1t and decided that he would do so. Accordingly, this morning the doors will be thrown open again.
 The same chef and head waitress will attend to the wants of the patrons and are sure to please. The high cost of food and materials, Manager Davis says, "is almost bar to the profitable conduct of the business" but he thinks that by serving meals at little more moderate price he may be able to do a better business than he did during the summer. It will be a welcome ad- dition to the business and social life of Kingman

OF JUDGE
 ROSS Is CERTAINTY
[FrOm Tuesdays Daily MinerI

An effort is being made by the Re- pubIcans to discredit Judge Henry D. Ross, taking as an issue his ruling in the matter of the introduction of li- quor for personal use into the state. The fact of the matter is that Judge Ross and the other judges of the su- preme court simply followed the de- cision of the supreme court of the United States in the Adams Express company, and the other cases where the intrpduction of liquor from one state into another was the issue.
 Judge Ross has made the people of Arizona one of the best judges the bench has ever had, and to replace him with one who surely is un- known would be to lower the standing of the state court of last resort. No one will be deceved by the attack on the Arizona judiciary and Judge Ross will be elected by a larger majority than that accorded him at his first election.

TUNNEL ADVANCING ON
 BILLY BRYAN GROUND
CFrom oatman Section Daily Miner)

lfEOm OaLmGl SecTlOn Dally winery
 About 20 miners are at work driving the Line Road tunnel into the Billy Bryan ground of the Goldroad Mines company at Goldroad. It has not been generally understood that the company was doing any work on the properties of that corporation, but it would appear that an effort was being made to open new ground to the east of the big Glory Hole shaft.
 It is to be hoped that the company will sink No. 1 shaft to greater depth, as the general opinion among mining men is that there is a great ore body under the original ore body of the Goldroad. On the 800 foot level a crosscut was run some years ago by which some rich ore was exposed, but the body was too small to bother with at the time, although with further work it is possible that it would open up to greater width. The Goldroad mines are sure to make greater ore bodies at depth, and it is more than a probability that the owners will take another chance at it before quitting the property for good.

INDIAN RELAY RACE
 IS BEING PLANNED
fFrom sunday,s DaiIy Miner.)


 Superintendent Shell of the TruXton Canyon Indian School is planning a relay race for Thanksgiving day, to be participated in by six of the best runners of the school, who will be stationed at equal distances between the school and Kingman. The boys are to carry a note from the school to some one to be selected in Kingman. The race will entail some expense and this should be met by the business men of Kingman, as great interest will center in the outcome of the race.
 It is possible that a race might be gotten up between the white boys and the Indian school boys, a purse or prize to be the trophy. This would create wider interest in the race and at the same time encourage the young fellows in athletics. Some one should take the matter up with Mir. Shell and start the ball rolling.

FOUR o2E BUYERS
 MAKE VISITS HERE
CFrom Chloride Section Daily Miner)

(From Chloride Section Daily Miner)
 The past week has been note worthy period in Chloride in the mat ter of visits paid the camp by mill men and ore buyers. AS one of the four visitors put it: "The outside just heard about Chloride's boom, but it seems the news spread very fast and struck ali about the same time."
 In line with this subject comes a report that the general manager of one of the largest ore purchasing con- cerns of the west will be here in less than week to look over the field. The advent of his company, the name of which is withheld, would cause a tremendous impetus to be given to mining in the smaller properties, es- pecially those capable of producing a few tons of ore daily or weekly.

CRESCENT EXPECTS
 ID GUT VEIN SOON
cFrDm oatman Section Daily Minerl

lfTOm OaLnAn SeCLlOu Daly A1lnefJ
 The exposure of the main vein of the Oatman Crescent is daily expected by Manager Peirce. The formation being penetrated by the tunnel is thought to be the casing of the vein. For the past week quartz and calcite stringers have been disclosed which leads the management to believe that the veing will be reached soon.
 The vein was first cut by a pros pect tunnel at depth of IA feet and gave gold values of from S7 to $50. The main tunnel, now being driven, will strike the vein at a depth of 300 feet. It is said that there is a large quantity of milling ore above the IA foot tunnel which will be stoped out should the vein below that level prove to carry milling values. t is the in- tention of the management to drift both ways on the vein when 1t is reached. By drifting a depth of 600 feet will be gained and a crosscut will be extended to the Highland Chief vein.

The German submarine U-53, under command of Lieutenant Captain Hans Rose, arrived at Newport, R. l., from Wilhelmshaven October and de- parted after a visit of three hours. In the course of the next day the U-53 sank five ships off the American coast.
 Various reports have been current regarding the submarine and it was uncertain whether the craft was re- turning to Germany or had remained on this side of the Atlantic. There were rumors that she had been sunk. A search by American warship for a German secret base along the New England coast for supplying submar- ines proved fruitless, according to naval officers.

 Kingman, Arizona,

Editor, Daily Miner:-

Editor, Daily Miner:-
 I read with satisfaction the com munication in yesterdays Daily Miner by the 'Movie Fan", expressing his disgust with the homogeneous of the local movie theatres, in compelling their patrons, who go to the supposed local places of amusement, to sit for at least a half an hour and be bored with advertising slides. A theatre is supposed to be a place of amusement, and not a place to read of what Jack Smith or Joe Brabaugh has to sell. We go to the shows for the express purpose of relieving our minds of such matters. So for Gods sake let all movie" fans register a kick.

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 91.-Coal operators tonight predicted the retail price of bituminous coal would reach S1O per ton in Ohio in the near future, if the present demand and the short age of coal cars in the state service continues.
 Soft coal was bought at S5 per ton at the mines today, the highest price since 1903, during the anthracite strike. Jobbers were selling at from S6 to S7.50 per ton as a result. Slack is being sold in the mine run class at S5 per ton.

Eye of the Night at Palace Saturday
"The Eye of the Night" narrates the
simple story of slavey's misdoing,
of her struggle for existence among
the narrow-mirded bigots in the town
and of her ultimate discovery that
the old keeper of the light-the only
mortal who forgives her sin and re-
ceives her into his care-is her faith
e.. 1t is made powerful by the pathos
cf its situations and is agreeably re-
lieved by intermittent touches of
quaint comedy.
One of the valuable assets of the
play is the surprising beauty of it's
scenes. Each was selected with ex-
treme care to depict the homely pic
turesqueness of the coastal hamlet in
which the action of the story takes
PLACE and each lent itself readily to
beatuiful photography. Among the
more vivid scenes of the piece are
those which show a fierce aerial at
tack on the village, the war being an
incident of the plot.

One fairly large tire company in
the Middle West announces that &c.
100000 worth were turned ont this
year. That's lot of tires, but if we
place the average cost of a set at
$50, and take into consideration the
feet that California has more than
100000 cars, it is plain that this COM
pany would have to turn It's entire
output over to California retailers for
two years in order to shoe" Golden
State machines just once.
