HOME GUARD HOLDS
 DRILLS EVERY DAY
(FrOm Thursdays Daily MinerJ

Many members of the Home Guard continue to appear and drill and the boys should be complimented for their persistence. At this time we would say that it would be a most excellent idea for more of the boys to appear and help the things along. Many of the men who have had military train ing are ungrudgingly giving their time to assist all that they possibly can and we believe that as this is the case, it should be nothing more than proper that all who can do so should be among the numbers to get out and help matters along as much as pos sible.
 All of the business houses are now closing their doors to allow their em- ployes to get to these meetings and it would seem that those persons should show their good spirit by giving at least one hour of their time each day.

HUNT-CAMPBELL CASE
 EXPECTED END TODAY

PHOENIX, Ariz., April Little progress was made in the governor ship contest today, the session of the court being devoted to gathering up odds and ends of the case, bringing in disputed ballots from different pre- cincts throughout the state and offer ing proof of them. Most of these ballots represented gains made in the recount of precincts where were dis crepancies between the poll lists and the count as shown in the official re- turns. There was no ruling by the court upon these, but they will be dis posed of in the final judgment. It is expected that the arguments will be opened on the converting of the court tomorrow morning, and that the con- test will be decided in the course of the day.

CATHOLIC LADIES
 RAISE s2OO AT DANCE

The May day dance given at the Elks' hall by the Catholic ladies Tues day evening was most enjoyable af- fair, the hall being crowded to it's ut most capacity. The music was fine and the dancers fingered to late hour to enjoy it. Refreshments were serv- ed in the basement of the building and the ladies did themselves proud in their service as we'll as having pro vided the best in edibles. The gross receipts of the evening totaled about S200 but from this there will be the deduction of expenses, which will leave them a healthy addition to their fund.

OF TOM
 REED REELECTED

Last Monday in Kingman the an nual meeting of the stockholders of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company was held, the old officers being re- elected.
 The Tom Reed has been carrying on a wonderful campaign of development the past year and has opened up prop erty that ought to give ore reserves for several years. Not only has big backs of ore been opened in the Tom Reed, but in the Aztec the biggest showing in the district was brought to view. The vein in that part of the Tom Reed lode is carrying a width of from feet to Is feet wide and values from $2 to $500. The average value of the Aztec is said to be above $2O, and the mine is capable of fur an immense tonnage of ore.
 Regarding the report of consolida- tion of this property with the United Eastern, an officer of the company stated that there is nothing to it. The Tom Reed has all the property it needs and it has the ore that will furnish milling tonnage. The bullion ship ments indicate that dividends will soon be in order and that the mine will again be living up to it's old tradi- tion of being the largest gold pro- ducer in the state.

lFrnm sund.r,. nnilr Minerl


 In accord with the patriotic spirit that is being evidenced in all parts of the country, Kingman merchants yes terday met and agreed to open their stores earlier and close them earlier in the day. The reason for this is that those employees who are members of the home guard and attend drill may be able to do so without incon- venience to themselves or their em- ployers. Another reason is that those who desire will have more time for pleasure and will comply more thor oughly with the ideas of union labor, which ,as everyone knows, has done much to relieve the working man from the crime of overwork.
 Every mercantile establishment in Kingman signed the agreement, with the exception of the Kingman Grocery and the Kingman Traders.
 The proprietor of the Kingman Grocery says that he will dictate his own business, and that his best trade is between and o'clock in the eve ming. The Kingman Traders stay open until g o'clock every evening, and state if they comply with the request of the other merchants at all that it would be only for the one hour, be- tween 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening. These firms have no employees out side of their own families, and, of course, consider that it is no ones business as to the hours they choose to work, and that they will undoubt- edly profit by the fact that the con- cerns mentioned below will be closed, with never a thought for community interests. How far this judgment will prove out remains to be seen, for be- yond a question of doubt great num- Der of people will positively refuse to trade with concerns with such avarici-

ARIZONA BLUE SKY" LAW IS PROTECTION
 ID THE INVESTORS
fFrom Fridar,s Daily Miner,

(FrOm Fridays Daily Miner)
 Taking advantage of the hberality
 of the press, the Arizona corporation
 commission is now sending broadcast
 over the state warning to the people
 not to be imposed upon by stock sales
 men, and calling the attention of re-
 sidents of the state to the fact that
 their greatest protection from men
 with fake promotion schemes lies in the public assisting the commission in
 upholding the "blue sky" law.
 If every person who is approached
 by stock salesman would take the proper precautions, wild cat and fake promotion schemes would be wiped out in Arizona in six months time. The corporation commission stands ready to see that the law is enforced in ev- cry respect, but the assistance and CO., operation of the public is an essential requirement.
 In the first place, every investment company, whether domestic or foreign, that offers offers it's securities in the form of stocks or bonds for sale to the public must secure a permit so to do from the corporation commission. Pre- cedent to the issuance of such a per init, the commission conducts an in vestigation into the affairs of the com pany, and if the commission is con- vinced that the plan of operation is fair and equitable a stock selling per init is issued. Companies offering their securities to the public without such permit are doing so in viola tion of the law.
 The commission orders every com pany granted a permit to supply each stock salesman with a copy of the per init, with instructions to submit this permit to every person who is asked to purchase stock. If salesman ap- breaches you and offers to sell you stock in any company and does not give you a copy yof the commissions stock selling permit he is violating the provisions of the permit, and should be immediately reported to the commits sion. The reading of this permit of- fers a certain degree of protection to the public, for in it the commission generally sets out in detail not only the plans of the company, but a list of the property it owns, and its other tangible assets. From this the pros pective purchaser can very often get better idea of the things behind a company than he could by hstenening to a stock salesman.
 In one or two instances the atten- ton of the commission has been call ed to the fact that stock salesmen have made the statement that their company or it's stock selling proposi- tion had the endorsement of the cor poration commission. This is untrue in every instance. The permit issued by the commission is permissive only, and in no case does it constitute an of the merits of the pro- position submitted. It merely means that the plan of operation appears equitable on it's face. This is so stat ed on the permit.
 The Arizona "blue sky" law is a good one and has been of considerable value to the investing public in recent years. Its value in the future can be greatly enhanced if the investors would but realize that their greatest protection lies in its strict enforce ment.

MONKEY BITES BOY;
 OWNERS ARE SUED
CFrOm Fridays Daily Miner)

A damage suit was instituted in the justice coure yesterday by Robert O. .Pierson against MT. and Mrs. Ritchie. The suit grew out of the biting of the fve-year-old son of the plaintiff on Wednesday evening by trained mon key belonging to the defendants, who are a travelling troupe which showed at the Elks' theatre last night.
 It is reported that number of the children of town were teasing the monkey, the boy bitten being among the number, when the animal became enraged and bit the child on the top of the head. The case will likely come to trial today.

Contrary to reports that have been circulated, there is not now, nor has there been, a case of black smallpox in Blackberry. A few people have been ill with light cases of chickenpox, or something resembling it, but it was very mild. Mrs. G. T. Duncan had an attack of measles, which later de- veloped into varicella. Not being in the best of health, she was quite i'll for a while, but was able to return with Mir. Duncan to their ranch home on Friday.

PHOENIX, Arizona, May 3.-De- claring that everything had increased but wages, a number of attaches of the county courthouse have presented a petition to the board Supervisors asking for raise of salary. The peti- tions stated that owing to the greatly increased cost of living, their salaries were inadequate to meet the constant ly advancing prices O ffood-stuffs. They asked for $125 a month each.
 The board explained that nothing could be done at the present time, as the budget made no allowance of the advance in wages.

 BIG OREGON MINE

The Ben Harrison mine near Baker City, Oregon, has been sold for $5OO,- 900 by A. L. White and associates. MT. White, it will be remembered, was the owner of the Victor Gold Mines com pany at Oatman, and who later re- moved the greater part of the mach inery from the pumping and power plant to the Ben Harrison. Walter Fellows, who was the superintendent of the Victor, also went with MT. White. It was under MT. Fellows management that the Ben Harrison was developed into the big property it now is. It was in Mohave county that he got his mining education.

(From Sundays Daily Miner.)
 That the De Luxe edition will soon be ready for the press and that Mo have county people will have a chance to see and boast of the greatest pub lication of it's kind ever issued in the state within very short time was the information given the editor by the manager of the De Luxe edition yes terday.
 Information regarding the closing of this great edition has been sent to all the large interests in the county who have signifed a willingness to be represented. The manager of the De Luxe edition wishes us to state that he desires all who have signed con- tracts for space in the edition to hast en their "copy'" and photographs to this office, so that there will be no de- lay.
 The final date has not positively been set for the closing of the forms, but it is thought the date will not be later than the 18th of May. It is gratifying, indeed, to note the spirit of cooperation shown by the peo- pie of the county. Almost to a man there has been a willingness to assist in producing this great edition, and while there will be many who are not represented, it is not because of their unwillingness, but because they were unable to do more than give their moral support.
 For the Chloride section there will be about 20 pages of beautifully illus trated and descriptive matter pertain ing to the vast resources of the dis trict, and in which will be found al- most every business man and mine owner of consequence.
 The Oatman section has a fair rep resentation and would have been much larger had the conditions in that dis trict been so as to warrant a more substantial cooperation.
 The section to the south in the Wallapais will have many represen- tatives in the book, as will several other sections of the county where the mines are not so frequent but just as important.
 Judging from the many photo graphs and feature layouts already prepared for the edition by the fa- nous artist and delineator, Jack Box, this boow will be the means of intro ducing Mohave county to the world in a manner never before attempted or thought of in any other section of this great state. One big feature of the book will be the fact that it is ab- solutely void of any display advertis- ing whatever, every interest being re- presented by feature.
 The manager of the De Luxe edition has been a busy man these past weeks and as a result has an excellent list of cooperatives which we take pleasure in reproducing. These cooperatives have the best interests of the county at heart and their willingness to as- siSt in this portrayal of the county's resources is not for any selfish req son at all, but rather that their efforts may be the cause of the whole county being rewarded.
 Following is a list of the firms and interests that to date have signifed a willingness to cooperate:
