LOOK OVER
 THE MIDDLE GOLCONDA

Dr. Walter Harvey Weed of New York, and George Tweedy, a well known Los Angeles mining engineer, last Sunday made an examination of the Middle Golconda mining property, in the Todd Basin section. Dr. Weed is one of the best known engineers and geologists in the country and usu- ally represents large financial inter- ests in the mining game. MT. Tweedy is also listed high and represents some of the best interests in this country. The two men are working together in this instance and it is to be presumed that something important is to take place.
 The Middle Golconda is one of the best looking propositions in the coun- ty, having an immense tonnage of ore opened and in the dumps. Since the mine was taken over by the Middle Golconda company, Charles B. Bell, the superintendent, has worked almost entirely in ore, every foot of ground showing up stringers and large bodies of zinc-lead. So far as developed the mine shows greater ore values than any other mine in the district.

ARIZONA EXPECTED
 ID TAKE S3,OOO,OOO
 Of THE LIBERTY LOAN

WASHINGTON, May 22-What ev- cry section of the country is expected to do in unloosing it's purse strings for the liberty loan was officially an- nounced tonight by the treasury de partment. The figures made public are the minimum. The maximum, it is hoped, will be such an oversubscrip- tion as has never been before recorded.
 In framing the schedule of mini mum subscriptions expected treasury experts have built a structure of fig ures with the entire banking resources of the country as it's foundation. They have based their calculations not upon the patriotism of any particular sec tion, but upon the number Of dollars to be found in the banks of that sec tion. The program thus tentatively created probably will be re-shaped en- tirely by the response of the people of the United States, but as a guide, in the absence of any other precedent, it will serve the purpose of showing each district what the nation expects of it.
 Massachusetts, S344,OOO,OOO; New states, estimated on the same basis, include the following as each states approximate proportionate share:
 Massachusetts, S344 100000; New York, 5,OOO,OOO; Pennsylvania, S2O0,OOO,OOO; Texas, $36,OOO,OOO; Hi nois, S135,OOO,OOO; Michigan, s5O,OOO,- ! 900; Missouri, $6O,OOoOOO; Kansas, S2O,OOO,OOO; Colorado, S14,OOO,OOO; i New Mexico, S2,5OO,OOO; Oklahoma, s14, 4,5OO,OOO; California, S92,OOO,OOO; Arizona, $3,OOO,OOO.
 These figures represent only the minimum from each state, which is ex- pected to top the minimum by as many per cent as possible.

CLAIM JUMPER USES FIREARMS AND GETS
 PROPERTY, ALLEGED

PRESCOTT, May 22. (SpeciaD = That Ed. Towner attempted to estab- fish right by might over the Jean No. ' lode mining claim in the Agua Fria district, is the allegation on which F. J. Hobson and E. M. Coplen base their petition for relief, addressed to the superior court here. Court Commis- sioner J. M. W. Moore, acting in the absence of Judge F. O. Smith, issued a temporary restraining order, enjoin- ing Towner to get off the Jean.
 The complaint states that the plain tiffs had an established right in the Jean claim, but that it wasn't pat ented. Towner, it is alleged, jumped the claim and with firearms and irate words, prevented the claimants from performing the assessment work, with out which the claim lapses and is lost to the locators. The locators allege that the claim is a rich one, and be- sides, is one of several they hold in that neighborhood, and that to break up their holdings by grabbing the Jean would work great losses upon them.

JEROME STRIKE
 POSTPONED TILL
 THURSDAY NIGHT
Operators and Union Lead CTS Disagree as to Situa- tiOn; Former Charge I. w. w. Responsible for the Present Trouble.

JEROME, Ariz., May 22.-Calling of a strike at the United Verde mine and smelter here, voted by the local miners union, was postponed today un- til Thursday night. Late last night it was stated that the strike would begin Monday. The men demand a checking system and a grievance committee. A wage increase of 50 cents was granted.
 Members of the Verde District Mine Operators association said they did not expect the strike to be serious. Union leaders said the men voted 45S to 25 for strike. Operators said a secret poll of employees showed 437 for strike and 766 against it.
 Union leaders asserted the strike would spread rapidly to other mines.
 Mine operators assert that the senti- ment of the district is against the strike and that radical union mem bers and I. W. W. leaders are respon- sible for the strike vote. The latter are said to argue that as there is such great demand for copper, with prices holding up, now is the time to gain the closed shop and appointment of grievance committee. The operators claim the I. W. W. leaders have brought in a number of agitators, and assert that they are unwilling to treat with these men.

BIG BUG MOLYBDENITE
 CO. ORGANIZED; WILL
 WORK RICH PROPERTY
CFrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner.)


 Adams March, Anson H. Smith and B. Elmo Bollinger yesterday organized the Big Bug Molybdenite Mines com pany with a capitalization of 1000 ,OOO one dollar shares. The company is to operate a group of mines owned by Mr. March, situated in Copper Canyon, Cedar Valley mining district, to the west of the Leviathan mines, and upon which MT. March recently made rich discovery of molybdenite ore.
 As soon as possible shares of the stock will be placed on the market for the purpose of supplying the treas ury with funds to operate the mines. A shaft is now down 40 feet on one of the big veins and has been in ore for 15 feet. Samples brought to Kingman show considerable of the bisulphide and indicate that it will be associated with copper, which is the rule in the mines of Copper Canyon.
 The claims are outside the zone gen.. |. orally accepted as the molybdenite bearing rock of the district. It lies close to the Copperville dike, from which it evidently secured its enrich ment.

GFrom Wednesdays Daily Miner3

(FrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner)
 Sheriff J. N. Cohenour has just received word that volunteer reg istrars will have to be appointed for the different localities to at- tend to the matter of registration of the men between the ages of q and 31 years for military ser vice under the law recently passed by congress. He would like to hear from volunteers for this work as there is no provision made for paying for the registra- tion.
 The only requirement of the registrars is that they write leg ible hand as this is one of the most important parts of the work. It is hoped that a sufficient num- Der of men will volunteer for this work immediately in order that the registration may proceed without delay.
 J. S. Withers and Dr. J. W. Francis have volunteered to cover the town of Kingman and vicinity and parties who are able to take care of this work in the other precincts are requested to send in their names to Sheriff Cohenour at once and he will make arrange ments to supply everybody with the necessary blanks.
 Under the new law it is abso- lutely compulsory that everybody, over the age of q years and un- der the age of S1 years, register disregarding whether they are single, married or otherwise. This law is very strict and provides a heavy penalty for any violation.

shaft the other three units of the 250- ton mill will be built when the shaft is sunk.
 The plans provide for drifting east on the 790 foot level to determine the exact location of the new shaft. Also, the drift on the 35O-foot level will be continued eastward to block out ad- ditional ore. After this is done the company proposed to drift west on all the levels and block out the remaining ore bodies.
 Ore Bodies Meet
 A new blue print drawing has been made showing the work already done and the proposed development. The ore formation, determined from in clinations on the various levels, shows that the veins between the present main shaft and the proposed new shaft are pinching together about the 5OO-foot level. Where they meet, the company believes some of the best ore in the property will be found.
 J. F. Mcconnell of San Francisco, who was one of the men who sold the United Eastern, helped boost it into prominence, and J. E. Strumquist of Goldroad and associates now are be- hind the Gold Ore company. A. c. Werden is manager and superintend- ent in charge and is a heavy stock holder. These men announce that they expect to carry out their program of development and make the Gold Ore one of the biggest producers in Mo have county.

The first thing to be done by the new management will be to retimber the main working shaft, which now is down 530 feet. It will be placed in perfect working condition for rapid hoisting of the ore. Next, the com pany will sink the main working shaft to the 730 foot level and run a drift east on the vein on that level, in order to block out POO feet more of ore, which it is believed will prove of as good milling quality as that found in a winze sunk from the 530 level inn mediately above the section which it is planned to develop soon. In this winze the values run around S2O a ton. Some specimens, however, have assayed over S1OO. It is proposed to connect the 73O level with the winze by means of a raise. This body of ore,, it is believed, will show a value of s3OO,OOO.
 To Build Big Mill
 Alter this IS done the company will build the first 50-ton unit of a 250- ton mill, at the main shaft. Ore from the body already blocked out then can be handled at greater profit, as it can be loaded in chute and run west ward by tram and hoisted to the mill. With this unit of the mill in operation there will be plenty of funds to carry on development work and sink a new three shaft on the east end of the holdings of the company.
