@ BlOdgett Gets a
 Commission as
 Infantry Captain

Capt. F. c. Blodgett, U. S. Infan- try, spent two days here this week upon his return from the officers training camp at Leon Springs, Texas. Captain Blodgett has just finished the training course and received his com mission as captain of infantry. He was formerly roadmaster of the Santa Fe, with headquarters in Kingman.
 His many friends in this city will be glad to hear of his success in ob- taining commission in the new na- tional army, although they felt conf dent that he would land such a berth. Captain Blodgett is a Spanish-Ameri- can war veteran, having attained the rank of first lieutenant.
 He goes to the coast to spend a few days visiting and then will return to Leon Springs. It is thought that he will be retained there as instructor in tactics for the next training camp for officers, which will open on January 5. He looks physically fit for any undertaking and has the soldier bearing" that stamps the military of ficer from the civilian. He says he gained several pounds during the training course.

NORTH ARIZONA HAS PROMIS-
 ING OIL BOOM

Northern Arizona is in the throes of an oil excitement, according to Ru- dolph Kuckler, member of the state tax commission, who has just returned to Phoenix from a trip to Holbrook, where he was for two days on busi- ness connected with the commission.
 "A test well is being sunk near Hol- brook" said MT. Kuckler, land the people are greatly excited over the prospects of discovering oil in large quantities. There appears to be strong evidences of the presence of oil as the well goes down deeper, and the oil fever spreads accordingly.
 With the building of the new rail road from Holbrook to the great lum- Der belt in the White mountains and the prosperity of the lumber indus try In that locality, Holbrook is on the boom and the people are confident that the town is to have a rapid growth in the near future.-Coconino Sun.

BIG STRIKE IS MADE
 ON THE GREY EAGLE

Last week the Miner inadvertently stated that big strike had been made on the Aztec mine of the Tom Reed, at oatman, when it should have read the Grey Eagle. The strike was made in the west drift from the 400 level of that property and reports from that property indicate that the ore body is increasing in width and value as drifting carries the opening farther west.
 Six feet of ground is broken every "A hours and higher values are found with each round of holes. The drift is being carried to the east, also, all though the values are not so good nor IS the vein so persistent. It is the i'm pression of mining men conversant with ore dispositions of the Tom Reed section that the new ore body of the Grey Eagle will be one of the most i'm portant opened in that field. From the 400 to the surface the ground is virgin and will make an immense output of ore.

BUTTE OPENS BIG BODY
 IF HIGH GRADE

The winZe that has Oeen sunk to a depth of 40 feet from the tunnel level
 of the Arizona Butte is still in the
 rich ore that has been found all the
 way down. This strike is on the
 Banner mine of the big group and is
 one of the best showings of ore ever
 opened in the property. Drifts have
 been carried off from the bottom of
 the winze to get some idea of the ex-
 tent of the ore body. So far about 80
 feet of lateral work has been done
 without showing diminution of the ore
 body. The rich vein is three feet wide and has an average value of 100
 ounces of silver, 60 per cent lead and small amount of gold. Great masses of native silver have been found. So far three cars of ore have been ship ped from this opening in the past ten days and with the stopes opened as the drifts progress a greater tonnage will be sent out.
 It is expected that this body will | be reached from the deeper shaft . within a short time and an immense area of rich ground made available. The management is getting the prop erty in shape for extensive work along the deeper level, which will carry it into the old ore body to the north of the present strike. The new ore is in 3 part of the mine heretofore un- touched by the operators of the prop erty, which gives that entire sector an immense mining possibility.
 The Banner mine is one of the most important of the properties of the Butte and with the deep tun- lel under it we are satisfied that it g would be one of the biggest proposi- . ions in Mohave county today. Min s for a length of more than | 900 feet it has possibilities second to 10 other base metals in the state. The c 'roperty is under the management of h me of the most conservative men in a he mining field and with consistent k financial backing the company will c oon be on dividend basis. b

J. $. NOT ID TOLERATE
 STRIKES DURING WAR

Washington, Dec. 1.-The attitude of the government toward labor un- ions during the war was defined by Fuel Administrator Garfield today as follows:
 The government will not tolerate any strikes to enforce recognition of unions. The government will not favor the unions in any controversy that may arise nor will it oppose them. It will grant them every bit of free dom they desire in the matter of seek ing other worhmen to join the unions, but they must not press their demands during the war to the extent of declar- ing strikes. Neither shall, employers discriminate against men who are in the unions.
 ''In other words, the government insists that during the war there shall be truce in the matter of insisting upon recognition of the unions. The will not tolerate any ac- tion by the unions for such a pur- pose"

ALL BAKERS IN STATE
 ID BE LICENSED SOON

All bakers in Arizona are to be placed under license, effective Deeem- Der 10, according to information re- ceived by U. S. Food Administrator, Timothy A. Riordan, from Washing ton. The Presidents proclamation and all rules and regulations regarding li- censing of bakers will be in the hands of the food administrator within a few days.
 The plan of universal loaf of one pound of bread is to become general throughout the United States, in order to allow the food administration an ab- solute check upon production of bake ries. The price of the one pound loaf will be fixed and the bakers will be compelled by the government to fol- low out the instructions to the letter, in order that the government price of wheat will be reflected in the loaf of bread purchased by consumers.

WANT KNITTED
 GARMENTS FOR
 MEN IN FRANCE

To All Chapters in the Pacific Divi-
 sion:
 We have received word from many
 chapters asking permission to fit out
 with sweaters boys leaving from their
 neighborhood
 For your information we beg to
 state regarding this situation that
 the order cabled by Major Grayson M.
 P. Murphy from France to Washing ton for a million and a half sets to be furnished as promptly as possible was intended for relief in Europe, and any knitted garments diverted to the boys going into the cantonments means just so much less relief in Europe.
 While it is true that our boys would all like to be fitted out with these gar ments, and that they would be of great comfort to them, the necessity is not so great as in Europe, as they are facing a very great lack of fuel, with the result that thousands of soldiers will have no way of keeping warm ex- cept by the clothing they have
 Our boys in eantonments in Ameri- ca will not be in the same position, as undoubtedly all the eamtonments will be reasonably heated
 We appreciate the anxiety of the people to take care of the boys that they know, but wherever it is possible to do so, they should be induced to knit first for Europe, and when this cr1nvlry hoe baap rororIoEo5 Ebor ELa- may take care of their local demands. Our own boys can be reached very quickly, while it takes long time to get things to the other side As soon as the requirements in Europe are fill ed the entire knitting force can be worked for the soldiers and sailors stationed in the United States.
 The Red Cross is maintaining in each one of the cantonments a Red Cross field director, whose particular duty 1t is to see that the wants of the men in camp are supplied, and it would be very much better if individual men were no supplied locally, but supplied at the request of the field directors of the different cantonments after the European order has been filled.
 We do not wish to take the arbitra- " stand of stating that your boys should not be equipped by the people of your community if they so desire, put we think that if the chapters will ny and work it out somewhat in con- iormity with he above plan they will De rendering better Red Cross service.

in business circles and have the conf.
 dence of all who know them. The
 president of the company is J. &.
 Amundsen of Kingman, general man.
 ager of the Arizona Stores company;
 the vice president is P. J. Mullen of Phoenix, a front rank mining man who for years was foreman of the famed Tom Reed mine at Oatman. w. w. Hays, the company's secretary and treasurer, is of Prescott. He was for
 Tears in business at Oatman, but moved to Prescott to be closer in touch with the company's holdings and work. Chas. Prochnow, one of the company's directors, is proprietor of the Commercial hotel at Flagstaff, while Geo. Babbitt, another company director, is a member of the great mercantile firm of Babbitt Brothers, 
 Thus 1t will De seen that the com pany is officered by men who mean business and do business, men who have lived here for years and who have proven their earnest ability in various undertakings. If there is oil in paying quantities in the Chino val ley section, they intend to get it and put it on the market; they believe they will find it, and they have lots of com pany in the same belief. If they do lind it, they will be doing bit to help Uncle Sam and everybody else.
 The men who are drilling for oil out | n Chino Valley will be the biggest men in Arizona if they happen to strike oil, as they will double up the business of this section and along with it the population, and that in hort time. They are on the track hat leads to big business with every prospect that they will reach their destination.

End DRAFT BEGINS DEC. 15 EVERYTHING NOW READY
ABOUT THOUSAND MEN IN THIS COUNTY CALLED TO CLASSIFY THEMSELVES FOR MILITARY SERVICE; EACH MUST GIVE COR RECT STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS

Everything is in readiness for class
 ification of the 1000 registrants in
 Mohave county under the new ques-
 tionaires selective service system
 whih has just been promulgated by the
 war department. It is expected that
 the local board will begin sending out
 the questionaires Dec. 15. Five per cent will be sent out each day for 20
 days. After a lapse of seven days from the day the questionaires are
 mailed, five per cent of the registrants
 must begin reporting to the local
 board. In other words, the first five
 per cent will be required to report
 in seven days, and so on down the list.
 Each man to whom a questionaire IS sent must answer every question and place himself in one of the five classes. The local board has the au- thority to change the class he places himself in and the registrant has a right to appeal it to the district board |, as before. Each of the classes will | comprise it's own order of liability, | but it is believed that the classes will | be called separately and only after the preceding class has been exhaust ed.
 The work of classification has been and while the task is a stu pendous one, it is believed that the se- lective machinery will work much more smoothly this time than when he first draft was made.
 The local medical and bar associa- ions are made advisory boards. The { doctors will help the examining phy- ' lcian of the local exemption board and I consult with him.

BIG OIL FIELDS SOON MAY
 RE OPENED IN ARIZONA
Considerable ActiUity Report ed Gt HOLbrOOk and m Chino Valley.

That Arizona may not long re
 main in the oil stacker" column, il
 the belief of men who are prospecting
 various parts of the state for petro
 leum. Already there is considerable
 activity in the Holbrook and Chine
 valley sections. The latest informa.
 tion received concerning these dis.
 tricts indicates that operations are al
 ready under way to develop some val
 uable prospects" in both districts.
 J. S. Amundsen of Kingman, man.
 ager of the Arizona Stores company,
 is president of the Arizona Del Rio
 Oil company, which has just been or
 ganized to drill in the Chino valley. The company owns or controls 2720 acres of land about 35 miles north of Prescott. One Phoenix company is reported to have shipped a rig to Pres colt for immediate drilling.
 In the Holbrook section, one com pany already is drilling, and oil men are reported to be rushing in from Ok lahoma, Kansas and Wyoming to look over the field. It is said that the pro- moters of this supposed field have sent for an expert geologist to determine location for several rigs.
 The following appeared in last weeks issue of the Prescott Courier concerning the two fields:
 CHINO VALLEY OIL FIELDS
 Since the early settlement of this section of Arizona by white men, the belief has been strong that oil existed beneath the earth's surface in the Chino valley section. Probably what first gave rise to this belief was the finding in that section of rock or rath- CT a shale formation which when broken gave forth g strong petroleum smell. We remember as far back as the year 1879 that this oil smelling rock was brought to Prescott and re- ceived mention from the local papers, and from time to time the agitation was started to have drilling done in the Chino valley section to prospect for oil, and now, that the great war has made so imperative demand for more oil, several companies are in evil dence in the Chino fields, various ex- perts have made favorable reports on the ground, and the belief that oil is there has grown into a conviction, and great will be the increased volume of prosperity in this section if the brave | and venturesome men now at work in | that field do strike oil, and such work | as is now ping done there was done in all the oil fields of the United states before oil was struck; in all of them there were the men who had the faith and the courage to try to find oil where the indications were good, and the oil would have never been found but for the existence of just such men, and it is just such men who are now bravely venturing their money and efforts in the Chino valley field. One of these companies is the Arizona Del Rio Oil company, which owns or controls about 2720 acres of oil land in the Chino oil fields, situated about 35 miles north of Prescott. The men behind this company are well known |

They looked in- q. process for the extraction of CT from the molybdenite con- 2s and brought back with them product, running 98 per cent mite bisulphide, the cleanest iuat ever made from Mohave coun- lyBcentrates. The separation of copper from the other content is simple, 1t is said, and creates cost. It also enhances the value concentrate more than 100 per 4J.
 The -iathan mill is now turning out abou 25 tons monthly of 40 per cent conr- -ltrates, and for this grade a big prica is obtained. As soon as water is l-yeloped to put on another shift in the mill many tons monthly will be added to the output of the mill.
