.RICO TAKES OVER COD. PROPERTY;
 BIG PRODUCER
Over Million Dollars Worth of Ore Taken Out of Old Mine Years Ago; Opera tiOns to be Resumed in Near Future.

This week arrangements were en- tered into by the directors of the c. O. D. Mining company and the Rico Consolidated Mining company, by which the latter company is to acquire the holdings of the former company. The Rico company is composed of Clack brothers, William Hennessy and D. V. Snowgoose. While the deal will have to be ratified by the share holders of the c. O. D. Mining com pany it is only a matter of formality as the majority stockholders have ex- pressed themselves in favor of the transfer. The. deal is for a large amount. With the interests of the company go the holdings of Charles w. and John Lynch in the property.
 The c. O. D. mine is one of the best known properties in the Walla- pal district. It is situated about 14 miles north of Kingman on the east slope of the Cerbat range. It was originally located by John H. John son and Thomas Ration. Mir. Ration died and his interest in the mine was taken over by Johnson, who later sold one-haf interest in the property to w. W. Clack. A large amount of money was taken from the property by these men, who finally disposed of their interests to Charles Dana and Mat Howell.
 Under the management of Mat Howell the mine produced more than one million ounces of silver. Owing to the death of Dana and the disin- clination of the executors of his es- tate to continue mining, the property was sold to John Lynch on a long time bond. MT. Lynch paid for the proper ty out of the royalties received in the workings of the mine by leasers.
 Zinc finally proved the undoing of the tributers, as it caused so heavy penalty that the ore had to be mill ed to get rid of it. A mill was built, but it was not a success, the treat ment of zinc then being little under stood. At the present time the zinc as by-prOduct will be worth cOnsid- erable money, as it will have to be handled anyway.
 The ore bodies in the c. O. D. mine have been hardly touched, and when the water has been expelled from the old workings the operator will begin to realize what a bonanza he has fal- len into. The work of unwatering the mine and sinking the No. shaft to a connection with the 300 drift will be commenced at once. This shaft is about 400 feet west of the old shaft, through which more than S1,OO0,OO0 was taken. It was so small an open ing that only a small bucket could be operated through it, and as the years went on it shrunk to such dimensions that it could be used no more. While it's purpose as an operating shaft is impossible it will serve the purpose of an air shaft to the 400. ........-....-..

 ON THE DESERT
Pitiable Case Revealed When Indians Steal Horse and Weary Travellers are Forced to Depend Upon Charity; Got Some Help Here.

Stranded on the desert, with no food or money, herself sick and unable to provide for her little S-year-old son and having had one of her horses stolen by Indians is the experience of Mrs. Ida M. Reed, who now is at Peach Springs. Mrs Reed passed through Kingman about three weeks ago en route from the Imperial val ley to Flagstaff, travelling in a spring wagon drawn by two horses so poor they could barely travel. Mrs. Reed was given some assistance here. She had crossed the Mojave desert during the hottest part of the summer, com ing by way of San Bernardino.
 She had lived in the Imperial val ley for some time. When the hot weather came on this summer she and her little son hitched up and started to leave the country, thinking they might reach relatives at Flagstaff. They had not gone far before the heat overlook them and their money gave out. Mrs. Reed got a job cook ing in hay camp in the valley but suffered two or three collapses from

tes, against nearly double that am
 ount during the prosperous years of
 it's production. Few people realized
 wide necessity of metal money in the
 marts of the world until the war call
 ed to their immediate notice. When it is realized that there is only about S7,OO0, 100000 in coined money in the world with which to do one hundred billion dollars, one can see that up interest on a debt of a thousand billions of dollars, one can seed that the people are not being adequately cared for in the matter of basic money protection. And yet the financiers of the country really had the people be- lieving that S3,500,000 in gold would adequately protect their every inter est. Today the American government is asking the people to subscribe to an issue of eleven billions in bonds. How would this requirement in real money be met?
 But with silver sure to be used as a money metal, with no fear of the coin age being excessive, the silver camps of the weest are sure to be revived and become again the scenes of min ing life of the olden days, and the people given a money that will fit well into their needs.
 Mohave county, at one time one of the great silver producing sections of the state, will again blossom forth as a producer of the white metal and .he hills long silent will reverberate with the sound of the pick and drill and prosperity will reign where now 1nly depression spreads its pail.

Stern-Faced Men and WOm- en Do Not Falter When Duty Presents Itself: When Other COntingents Will Leave is Unknown.
GUIDO ZECCA, GoIdroad. JOHN WESLEY HARRIS, JR. Kingman.
 MILTON DUKE, Kingman. JAMES N. RAY, Mineral Park. JOHN s. MCCOY, Blackberry. SAMUEL O. MOORE, Kingman.

With the plaudits of several hun dred fellow townsmen ringing in their ears to cheer them on their way, Mo have county's six Liberty Boys" boarded eastbound Santa Fe train No. 2 Thursday night for Fort Riley, Kans., to enter the military training camp. They were the vanguard of the first III men. this county will send to help down Kaiser Wilhelm and all Wilhelmism in Europe The others are to follow on orders from the war department.
 The first Liberty Six" contingent was made up of those experienced in organization work. They were pick ed from the entire list of III names which have been certified to the dis trict board and their services will be valuable in preparing the training camp for the thousands who will soon will be rolling in.
 At the station were hundreds of men and women. In the crowd were fathers, mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of many of the drafted men who will be going later. The people crowded about the station in such a way that it was impossible for all to shake the hands of the boys and personally bid them God-speed. But there was a decided patriotic air to the demonstration, and everyone seemed anxious to show their appre- citation of what the boys were doing. There was cheering and as much handshaking as was possible under the circumstances. A few stern faces were observed among the crowd faces of men who are to follow and faces of those whose loved ones are

The affair was arrangend under tht auspices of the County Council of De fense, of which Allen E. Ware i: chairman, as mark of appreciation for the selective soldiers, to show them that the folks back home will remember them and that they carry the best wishes of friends and rela- tives. There were people from all parts of the county.
 Patriotic addresses were made by the Rev. T. H. Dodd of Kingman and W. H. Butcher, formerly resident of Kingman but now in the U. s. navy medical service. c. J. Walters acted as master of ceremonies.
 The ladies of the Red Cross served refreshments purchased from funds raised by popular subscription in Kingman. Following the speaking program, the evening was given over to dancing, which was enjoyed until midnight.
 Dr. Butcher was the first speaker. He dwelt on the necessity of winning this war and spoke of the duty of foreign-born persons to support the government in any eventuality. It, IS the duty of every person, whether native or foreign born, to follow President Wilson, he said, and to car ry on the war work at home. He used the example of a big battleship as il- lustrating the discipline that must be exercised to carry on an effective campaign.
 The Rev, MT. Dodd declared that the war in which the United States has launched is a conflict in which the very foundation principles of liberty and freedom are at stake and that every one must do his or her full duty in upholding the hand of the presi- dent. ''They say we are not united people in this war;, he declared. "We were not united people in the Ameri- can revolution, in the war of 1872 or in the Civil War. These labor riots and disturbances are only temporary and soon will pass away and it will be shown that we are a more nearly united people in this war than in any

we ever engaged in. We are fighting for a principle. We tried to keep out of it, but Germany gave her sub marines instructions to keep our ships off the high seas and we could not longer forbear".
 The plan to show appreciation for the services Mohave county boys are rendering to their country was sup ported by every person in town. The newspapers last week outlined the plan for the demonstration and the people responded by coming out and thus showing their moral support. The business and professional men donated funds literally with which to pay all expenses. P. A. Cross, prop rietor of the pavilion, donated the use of the pavilion, while Ora Grun- finger and Charles Bourquin furnished the music free of charge. Miss Gladys St. Charles officiated at the piano for a few numbers toward the end of the dance, relieving MT. Grun- inger. The ladies of the Red Cross are EULlLlCu U 1AuNAA NACNlAL AOA NAA~ manner in which they served the re- treatments.
 Mir. Walters, in outlining the in tentions of the Council of Defense to entertain the draft boys, stated that it was the purpose of the Council of Defense that the affair be considered as much for the boys who go later as for those who left for the training camp this week. He explained the work the Red Cross is doing in a few well chosen words and proved a good chairman of the meeting.
 Mrs. w. J. DeLashmutt of the Red Cross was in charge of the serving arrangements and was assisted by Mesdames A. E. Ware, R. G. Me Dougal, Reed Fitch, Charles Granger, Ernest Hanson, Ross Blakely, Joe Goodwin, Cunningham, W. H. Bearing, c. A. Paterson, L. J. Parker, c. A. Warren, Thomas Grozier, R. B. Wal ker, w. F.

That judicious advertising pays, is the opinion of J. M. Gates, manager of the Central Commercial company. MT. Gates cited as a specific instance of effective advertising the sale his company had on special bargains in shoes last week. Some splendid bar gains were advertised in the Miner and large number of customers were drawn to the store through the ad. There is no question about advertis- ing, if it is done right and if the ads
 are well written" declared Mir. Gates.

carried in press dispatches they lost
no time in communicating the reports
to their respective camps.
1t was day of tension, doubt and,
finally, unbounded hope. The strain

hopes of ending the danger of a strike
all eyes turned inadvertently toward
the supreme court in Washington.
Unless some decision is forthcom-

upset. An adverse decision would

One of the questions brought up at
today's meeting was application of this

for these conferences"
Relations, however, are more cordial
tonight between the brotherhoods and
employers than since the chiefs deliv
cred their first ultimatum months ago.
Waiting newspaper men hardly needed
to be told that the strike would not
become effective tonight. Smiles and
chubby" remarks, exchanged between
employer and employee as they walked
gave the secret away.
BELIEVE FIGHT is WON.
Brotherhood chiefs believed tonight
their fight is won. They look for the
supreme court to decide the Adam
son law constitutional before the pres
emit truce ends or the conference has
decided the question in advance of the
nations highest tribunal.
With ali of their other demands
granted in the Adamson law, they
would get an eight-hour day with 10
hours pay and time and one half for
all overtime. This, it is known, is the
only plan the brotherhoods are ready
to accept as a definite end to the sit
uation.
The brotherhood chiefs hurried from
the conference room to the nearest
telegraph stations to flash across the
country the signal that gave the
United States two more days of in
ternal labor peace. This signal has
been either telephoned or telegraphed
TO every railroad division in the coun-
try.

ernment-and incidentally that of the
people--was likewise expected to result
in complete harmony between the two
elements so additionally enemies-the
nobility and the peasantry of Russia.
British officials made no conceal
ment Of their pleasure at the success of
a peoples government in Russia. This
jubilation was based on the known in
tense anti German spirit of the Rus
sian people. A government formed of
these elements was expected to be a
driving force behind the army which
would greatly strengthen Russia's part
in the war. Moreover, the very ele-
ments of the people now in control of
the government are those to whom the
army really owes it's plentitude of food
and comforts. The duma leaders were
representatives of the voluntary socie-
ties who stepped in and endeavored to
repair the corruption and inefficiency
of the monarchial system. They are
therefore in high favor with the army
and moreover they are accustomed to
the problems of handling such an
army.
British officials were watching
closely tonight the growth of a pro-
test movement in Germany against the
militarist forces of the empire which
some observers believe may be the
forerunner or just the sort of II peo
pies movement which overthrow the
Russian dynasty. Recent speeches in
the Prrssian diet have indicated a
widespread attitude of sharp criticism.
The conference held today at Vienna
between the new emperor, the imperial
German chancellor, the Austrian prime
minister. the austrian foreign secre-
tary and others was believed to have

pressed by the revolution changes in
