mine below the present openings, al- though a maintainance of the present ore bodies at depth would put the property in the class with the big mines of the state.
 The Middle Golconda is on the same vein with the Golconda and Tub, of the Union Basin Mining Company and the veins of the Golconda Extension, lying between the two properties. Ev- anywhere that the veins have been opened ore has been found. On the estate of the Middle GOlconda ore has been found from the south end of the claims to several hundred feet north of the tunnel openings, distance of over 1000 feet. This indicates an im- mense shoot of ore bearing veins. The lower drift will reach under the ore at the south end over 500 feet iH vertical depth. The ore body at this point should be high in copper values, as in dicated by the ores now on the dumps and taken from the surface outcrUp.
 So far the Middle GOEconda mine has shipped to the smelters in the neighborhood of S2O,O00, taken from the drifts and in opening the stopes in the mine. The mine is paid for and has been paying practically all ex- penses from shipped ore, although leaving thousands of tons of valuable ores on the dumps for milling pur- poses. It has approximately S2OO,OOO worth of ore in the stopes, and every day adds to this reserve. It has shown a management that believed in getting dollars worth of work for dollar spent, and any miner who goes through the mine will coincide Tn the writer's view that more than dollars worth of work has been had for every dollar spent on the property.
 One thing that is necessary to the future welfare of the company IS a milling plant to handle the immense tonnage of milling ore on the dumps and in the stopes of this great mine, and it is up to the company to arrange it's finances for that happy end. So far as the Miner editor can see there has not been opened in the whole county a mine that bears the ear marks of greatness that is exhibited in this property.
 Among the men who brought the Middle Golconda up to its present state of development are J. B. Speed, and c. B. Bell, of Douglas; J. E. Suits, of Yuma, and John Mulligan, of King man. These men enjoy the confidence of the business men and public in their respective communities.

FIND S555 SILVER
 ORE IN WALLAPAIS

Last evening Mrs. Lucy Bulkely and Elmer Welch and wife came in from the Wallapai mountains, bringing with them samples of ore that gave results of s555.OO in silver. Mrs. Bulkely re- ports that the vein is better than 30 inches wide and appears to carry the same high grade of ore all the way acruss. Work will be commenced on the property as soon as the owners return to camp. Mrs. Bulkely and El- mer Welch have been prospecting through the mountains in the neigh borhood of Wheeler Wash the past year and have located many desirable veins of ore. The new find is the culmi- nation of their work and they believe they will open one of the best bodies of silver ever found in the county
 That section of the mountains is well mineralized, many veins of good grade lead and copper ore having been open ed. Owing to distance from railroad
 the lead ores have not yet been han
 dled, but with better roads and good truck facilities is is now possible tC
 ship the lower grades to advantage

MINING IN THIS
 COUNTY FACES
 PROSPERITYERA
MOlybdenum Mines Attract ing Great Attention of Experts; Coast Mining Engineer to Come Here Within a Few Days.

That the attention of outside min ing people is being directed toward the great molybdenum deposits in the WaIlapais south of Kingman to an unprecedented degree is shown by the visit here lately of experts.
 A noted mining engineer and metal. lurgist of San Francisco stopped off in Kingman this morning en route home from the Prescott country where he has just finished report for coast capitalists, and was surprised to learn that some of the greatest molybdenum deposits in the world are in Mohave county.
 He read an account in the Miner Tuesday of the visit of a government expert to look over this field, and call ed on Robert s. Billings, mining en- gineer and metallurgist of Kingman, an old friend with whom he had been associated in Colorado several years ago, to inquire concerning the pros poets in this district. As the result of his brief stopover, it was stated that he will return in a few days and make q thorough inspection of the rare minerals in this district.
 A party of Detroit mining men spent two days here this week, but the results of their visit are unknown. They came here in Henry Ford's pri- vate car 'Mayflower" and left last night for the east.
 Others noted in the mining and financial world have had men here looking over the field recently and in mining circles, it is the firm conviction that Mohave county is on the eye of the greatest development period in it's history.

are within the meaning of the present rules lies in the power of local boards to refuse exemption in every doubtful case.
 'It is true that cases of discharge on the ground of dependency are ap- pealed to the district board, but this clause is only inserted to secure uni formity of action. District boards are to examine these cases to discover de- parture from the law, regulations and rulings; and they will not and cannot open every case on it's merits.
 "It is in the local boards alone, therefore, that the solution of the diff ficulty and the protection of deserving claimants lie."
 As defined by a recent bulletin by the war department, dependency means some near relative of the reg istrant whose calling to the colors would leave such dependent without means of support.
 "Such dependency ordinarily renders discharge advisable" says the bulle- tin, because since the drafted person loses his civil income and thus loses his means of support, the wife is left without support, and this lack of sup port is the effect which the act aims to avoid. But wherever such effect does not in fact follow, and the wife is not left without reasonably ade- quate support, but will receive such support from other sources, there IS no real dependency rendering dis charge advisable. The following class es of cases are within this ruling:
 "A-Wife and children: Where the parents and other relatives of the wife or the husband are able, ready and willing to provide reasonably ade- quate support for her (and children, ii any) during the absence of the hus- band; 2-Where the wife owns land which has produced income by the hus- bands labor, but which could with reasonable certainty be rented, during his absence, to other persons so as to produce an adequate support; g. Where there exists some arrangement by which the salary or wage of the husband is continued, in whole or 1T part, by third persons, being employ, CTS or insurers of others, and sucf portion of the salary or wage, either alone or with an allotment of his sol dier's pay or with other definite in come, will furnish a reasonably ade' quate support.
 'B-Other dependents: 1-Wherc in one of the foregoing ways a reason ably adequate support is provided fol a widowed mother, infirm parents, ol orphan child under IS years Gas emu merated in section 20, Par. H., 2, 3, 4 3, of a son, brother, or father called into service"

RED GROSS HAS GREAT TASK ID
 AID SOLDIERS
Kingman Chapter Holds Regular Meetings to Make Hospital Supplies; New Commission Sent to Italy to Aid In Relief.

Red Cross work throughout the na- tion is getting well under way, &C., cording to information received by the Kingman chapter. The latest commis- sion to go to Europe is that dispatch ed to Italy, consisting of a corps of big business men and able assistants in special lines of war relief work.
 The Kingman chapter holds regular weekly meetings of the work commit tee each Friday afternoon at the Odd Fellows hall. At these meetings, ma terial to be used at the base hospitals in Europe is made and collected for immediate shipment to division head quarters in San Francisco. Consider able enthusiasm is being shown in the work, but the ladies are urged to take a more prominent part. All realize that much must be done for the sol- diers in Europe and it will be neces- sary for great number to engage in making supplies.
 The purpose of the commission sent to Italy is to advise how American Red Cross activity can best be ex- erted to meet the needs of the suffer ing soldiers and the civilian popula- tion of Italy.
 This is the fourth Red Cross com mission to go to Europe. The first, headed by Major Grayson M. P. Mur- phy, vice president of the Guaranty Trust company, New York, was sent to France. The second, headed by Dr. Frank S. Billings, of Chicago, went to Russia. The third, headed by H. w. Anderson, of Richmond, Va, is now on its way to Rumania.
 This, the fourth such commission, was headed by George F. Baker, Jr., vice president of the First National bank of New York city. With Mir. Baker went John R. Moron, president of the Atlas Portland Cement com pany; Dr. Thomas W. Huntington, president of the American Surgical association; Dr. Victor G. Heiser, of the United States public health ser vice; and Nicholas F. Brady, Central Trust company, New York.
 Accompanying the commission also, is Chandler R. Post, professor of Greek and Fine Arts at Harvard uni versity, and one of the leading au- thorities in this country on Italy.
 Through the American Academy in Rome, it has been arranged that the commission to Italy will have detailed to assist it, Gorham Phillips Stevens, director of the School of Fine Arts, and Charles Upson Clark, of Yale uni versity, director of the School of Cas- sical Studies, both of whom are now resident in Rome.
 To enable this commission to meet the more urgent needs which may be found to exist, an emergency appro- priation of S2OO,OOO has been made by the Red Cross war council. Other work in Italy will depend upon the re- port of this commission as to how such efforts can best be made.

Royal c. Adams and wife have re- moved to Los Angeles, where they will take up their. residence. Mir Adams has been a resident of King man during the past year, having been connected with the Tungsten Mines company, which was operating the Williams tungsten claims in the Aquarius mountains on the lower Sandy.

The big swim at Oatman last night was a fine dance. Several autoloads of Kingman young folks splashed all the water out of the tank, or would have done such a thing if there had been anything in it, and came home as wet as the proverbial rat. At that, everyone reports having had a "dee- lightful" time. They enjoyed every thing from the scenery to the light ming.
 As aforesaid, the plunge was a myth, for the tank was empty. Un- daunted, however, and to get their

MIDDLE GOLCONDA WORKING RICH ORE 6VE IF BEST PROPERTIES N COUNTY
Plans Launched to Erect MiU And DeUeLOp Big Ore Bodies Already in Sight; Company in Good Condition

Mines are made not found, is the theory of men of scientific attainment but such is not fact in all cases selves. mine to be made must have some basis upon which to build such as ore deposition and values. No mine be made of property where the values too low the necessary equipment too high to return profit the investment And the chance to be taken usually requires that mine when fully open ed will amortize the principal and big interest on the investment. Practically all the copper mines of the state have made good in this regard and in MOhave county the silver gold lead and zinc mines could stop all development and return big profits the investment from the developed ore bodies.

Spirit of '76--'17

That the spirit of '76 is not dead
 and that there, are real Americans
 here and there, is shown by the att
 titude of Guy Elder Dunning of Kingman toward the selective
 draft. Mir. Dunning registered here June and left town shortly after
 ward for St. Johns, Ariz. Unable to return here for examination, he
 appeared before the local board at St. Johns. Here is what he thinks about the draft law: Local Board, Kingman, Ariz. Gentlemen:- I passed the examination board
 here today and don't want any ex- emptiOn. So let me get in the ser
 vice as soon as you can, as 1 think it is all good Americans duty to do so.

No Parole for Boot-leggers.

There are dark days ahead for
the boot logger, as the state
board of pardons and paroles
have evidently agreed not to
extend clemency to them here
after, judging by the following
letter of Gov. Campbell to the
secretary of the board:
beg to confirm conversation
held with you and Hon. Wiley E.
Jones on June II, regarding vio-
lators of the constitutional amend
ment and statutes, governing
prohibition in Arizona, and would
respectfully draw your early and
thoughtful attention to the in
creasing and unnecessary drain
upon your valuable time and that
of this office, already harrassed
by unusual and unexpected calls,
involved in the consideration of
petitions and appeals of boot
leggers, their friends and SYM
pathizers.
The citizens and residents of
Arizona, generally, do not expect
that clemency shall be exercised
in such cases, except in very rare
instances wherein justice plainly
appears to have miscarried or ex-
tenuating circumstances appear,
whereby such interference is de.
manded.
Violators of the prohibition
laws deserve no pity or sympa-
thy. They engage in this unlaw.
full practice because of the huge
profits offered by the same. Tc
insure these gains, they resort
to cunning and resourcefulness
to a degree that stamps them as

potential criminals, destined to
be a menace to our social and
political fabric.
When these men and women
become entangled in the meshes
of the law, they Immediately
begin to cast about for an excuse
to draw to their cases the sympa-
thy of orderly and law-abiding
citizens, who lend their sympa-
thy and cooperation merely to
be good fellows" rather than
that their serious impulse is to
upset the course of justice.
Such weight is brought to bear
upon your board and by your
board upon me, that justice is
done only in isolated cases.
The cost of securing evidence
and conviction in 'bootlegging''
cases is great. Increasingly bit
ter complaints from county Of
ficials are being received at this
office against the parole of such
prisoners and the impression is
abroad that there is little use of
spending great sums of money
to bring these people to punish
ment, if our acts are to make
them free upon the payment of
fines, or because they are in ply
sical and mental distress, such
as is alleged to warrant executive
clemency.
There is no doubt that the
traffic in intoxicants has been
increasing. 1t is carried on bold
ly at the present time. No good
reason can be given why all such
miscreants should not suffer the
full penalties for their skillfully
premeditated acts, regardless of

Little Rock, March S.-With MT. Brooks of Pulaski leading the oppo- sition, the house last night made i'm possible the passage of the Johnson bill to create an improvement dis trict for the construction of the highway from Fort Smith, on the south side of the river, via Little Rock, to Memphis. Many amend ments were submitted by MT. Brooks, which MT. Johnson, MT. Mathis and their friends opposed, declaring that the only purpose of the amendments was to kill the bill, which Mir Brooks did not deny. MT. Held of Sebastian offered an amendment to exempt Sebastian county from the provision of the bill and supported other amendments. The first amendment by MT. Brooks, to limit the bonds tc 30 years, was adopted, and no fur ther action was taken on the meas ure.
