.DE LUXE EDITION
 MANAGER VISITS
 BIG SANDY VALLEY
CFrom Saturdays Daily Miner)

sentative, has just returned from a three days trip down the Big Sandy in the interest of the Miners feature number, ''The Mohave County De Luxe Edition.
 Starting out well supplied with camera films, pencil, tabs, gasoline, oil, tires and other requisites always now necessary in the work of mod ern newspaper man, MT. Lindsey made his first stop at the George Davis Ranch. Mrs. Davis was hold ing the reins of government, so it will be necessary to call again as MT. Davis will have to superintend the picture taking of his fine herd of cattle.
 Leaving the Davis place, a down grade run lead Mir. Lindsley to the hospitable Frost Ranch. The ever congenial Bill Frost was not in evil dence so a continuation of the trip carried our representative up and over the Round Valley grade and theI down to the first ranch of the Big Sandy-The Round Valley Ranch where a cup of coffee and the informa- tion that the owner would not be back till the next day was served by smiling Mexican mozo. Leaving there, continuous calls on the following places were made without success as no one in authority could be found: Sandy Windmill Ranch, The Bee Ranch, and Little Cane Springs Ranch. Soon afterward the Rancho Fl Hospitalario, Gas it should be called), W. B. Stephens place, came into view. One of the younger sons answered when asked about accommo- dation:- "Well, see the boss," meaning his more than hospitable and worthy mother.
 MT. Stephens not being home that day and night our information and photo gathering little grey fivver was harnessed up to its twenty horses and driven to ''The Nature Corral Ranch" owned and managed by R. P. Morrow and family. Ward and Blakley's place next presented itself in view. This ranch is more than appropriately named "The Rose Bud Ranch" for here roses bloom the year around; beau tiful name and place to be sure, one in all respects diversified. It will be comprehensively depicted both with pictures and print in our coming edi- tion de luxe. A full day was spent taking pictures of this ranch, its re- sources and scenes. It was hard to leave after seeing the beauties of the place and after having eaten of the bounteous foods prepared by that domestic scientist, Mrs. Ward.
 Leaving the Ward and Blakely ranch the return trip was made direct to Kingman and a late arrival was made last Thursday night.
 MT. Lindsley is firmly of the opinion that the Big Sandy country is the greatest ranching district he has ever visited and states that the trip was eminently successful in all respects. He says that the last Sandy trip will be made next week and that if, by chance, he has missed any of the worthy people of those parts through ignorance of location a card dropped in care of this paper will bring him pronto.
 As the weeks roll by and we are able to secure photos and data a list ing of the places and people who are assisting materially in the pro- duction of the most colossal publicity movement ever undertaken in this country and possibly in any of the western states will be published from time to time.
 And, remember all that the de luxe edition of 60 pages or more, published on fine paper, heavily bound in color prints, beautifully illustrated, an adequate atlas, mapping, review of review and history in all of Mohave County is as much a part of your self as anything other material you own. Its pages are to make or destroy in it's evolution, as no one man can pro- duce or afford to try to produce any thing worthy of you or your great and glorious county; therefore, look at it that way and when that op- portunity in the form of more than competent publicity specialist taps at your door in his efforts to help you, your surroundings and your children's educational advancements and for a. general financial uplifting of county of untold resources and wealth which only needs publicity, don't slow the actions of others down by saying
