BROKERAGE COMPANY
IN new QUARTERS

Kingman can boast Of more modern
facilities than many other towns sew
eral times its size, and in this respect
the opening Of the new Offices Of the
Oatman-Kingman Brokerage company
in the lobby Of the new Hotel Beale is
a step that should command the at
tention Of the general public.
In addition to its regular stock mar
ket quotations, the concern now re-
ceives daily reports and quotations Of
the New York curb coppers, Chicago
grain market, Los Angeles stock ex-
change and metal market. AS a
usual thing such quotations are only
to be had in the larger cities, and as
Kingman has many visitors from such
eenters who endeavor to keep in close
touch with the markets and who pat
ronize the best hostelries, the addition
of the up-to-the-minute service of the

appreciated by the guests of the new

ACCEPT
BID FOR GAME
IN CHLORIDE
Especial to the Daily Miner)

CHLORIDE, Feb. THE Chicago
Cubs will play the Chloride baseball
team here during the first week in
April, as the result of negotiations
entered into between Tip O'Neil, rep
resentative of the Chicagoans and
Dick Corcoran, manager Of the local
aggregation. The Cubs will pass
through Kingman on their way east
after a stay at their spring training
grounds in California some day dur
ing the first week in April and a
guarantee sufficient to warrant their
coming to Chloride for game has
been assured.
No terms to the contrary were de-
manded by the big leaguers with the
result that Manager Corcoran has ex-
tended invitations to some of King
mans diamond stars to mix in the con-
test.
Arrangements are under way for a
special train to be run to Chloride for
the game and the local baseball
diamond is being put into shape for
the game.

ISSUANCE OF
ROAD BONDS
IS DISCUSSED
[FrOn Tuesday'. Dang MInerl


In response to a call from the board
Of county supervisors many taxpayers
assembled at the courthouse here yes
terday afternoon and discussed the
question Of the issuance Of bonds for
the upkeep Of the present system OF
roads and the building Of more high
ways.
The consensus Of opinion seemed to
be for the issuance Of 100000 worth
of bonds for the betterment Of the
present roads and to use the balance
Of the fund; if there was any for the
construction Of the thoroughfarss.
Several propositions for extensions
were presented to the meeting but the
majority present did not seem to favor
at this time. Among the extensions
proposed was that the Sandy route be
continued through Burro Creek to con-
meet with the Yavapai county road at
or near hillside in that county. The
completion Of the Oatman-T -Topock road
to the bridge at Topock was also
urged.
AnsOn h. Smith presided az chair
man and h. b. Watkins acted as sec
retary.
The entire board Of supervisors was
present as well as many Of the resi-
dents Of Oatman, Chloride and the
other camps Of the county. All were
enthusiastic for the issuance Of the
bonds, but wanted the money used for
the internal development of the county.

Mrs. Jean Brown died last Tuesday
evening at Riverbank, Calf, to which
place she was taken for medical care
a week ago. She had been sufferer
from an -incurable ailment for several
years.
With her husband, Mrs. Brown re-
sided in Brownsville for the last ff-
teen years or more, and was acquaint-
ed with all residents of that section,
as well as having large circle of
friends in this and other sections of
the county. She was a most lovable

NJ M'GRACKEN MINES
ARE AGAIN ON THE
PRODUCING LIST
[FrOm Thursdays Daily MinsrI

The first ore to be shipped from the
McCracken group of mines, under the
new management, was yesterday haul
ed into Yucca and will be shipped to
the smelter. It is heavy lead and
comes from one of the veins bonded
from Messrs. Hoffman. The mines
belong to the old Swastica company,
and were operated some years ago.
The new work is being prosecuted
from an adit near the south end of
the property, and a fine body of heavy
lead ore was opened. 1t is expected
that trucks will be put on the run
and daily shipments made.
The McCracken is one of the big
gest lead properties in the state and
with proper financing and develop
ment will be the equal of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan. In this regard it
is the exact counterpart Of the big
Idaho properties and is sure to become
noted in the production of lead and
zinc.

Work is progressing nicely on the
new teaching plant being installed by
the Emerald Isle Copper company,
near Mineral Park. The old plant
was a success and the management
has concluded to put in a more ex-
tensive and up-to-date works along the
same lines. Some splendid bars of
copper were made the past month and
brass and other metals were made
from them. The copper was very
high grade, showing little iron, al
though scrap iron is used to precipi-
tate the metal from the solutions.

HAS GREAT FAITH IN
MOHAVE COUNTY MINING
From Fridays Daily Minarl

DR.. L. D. Godshall, who has been
managing the Tecopa mines at Rest
ing Springs, Calf, for two years, was
a Kingman visitor yesterday. He be-
ieves Mohave county one Of the
greatest mineral belts in the country,
and it would not be surprising to see
him again actively engaged in mining
here. It was due to his efforts that
the United States Smelling, Refining
and Mining company entered this field
and it is possible he will enlist some
other big mining corporations in open
ing some of the inviting propositions
that still remain open to develop
ment.

today to be progressing between Great
Britain and representatives Of the
Scandinavian lines. 1t has been sug-
gested, according to the agent Of one
Of the lines, that Halifax or Bermuda
be submitted for Kirkwall as a British
port where ships may stop for inspec-
ton Of cargo and passengers.
If such arrangements can be made
the steamship representative said it
possibly may result in an early re-
sumption Of sailings, now suspended
as result of the German not defining
a new war zone and making it dan
gerous for ships to call at Kirkwall.

Bullion Shipment
By United Eastern

The first bars of gold bullion pro
duced by the big mill of the United
Eastern were brought into Kingman
yesterday and shipped to the mine.
While nothing could be learned from
the management as to the value Of
the bars, it was authoritatively learn
ed from other sources that the clean
up of the two weeks run of the mill
amounted to the handsome tota of
S55,OOO.
The United Eastern mill has a ca
pacity of 200 tons daily, and when it
gets down to business will be turning
out such gold bricks as were never
before seen in the county. The tun-
ing up process in a new mill has to
be gotten over before the plant is ca
pable of making a high saving of val
ues and full crushing capacity is
reached, but the report from the Unit
ed Eastern mill is that a very high
saving was obtained in the initial run,
although it is expected to better it in
the future.
The United Eastern has immense
ore reserves, possibly greater than
any other gold mine on the Pacific
coast. 1t has been under most capable
management since its first crosscut on
the 800 foot level disclosed the big ore
body. Level by level was run through

RICH STRIKE IN
NEVADA ARIZONA
At MUSIC MOUNTAIN
[FrOm Thursdays Daily MInsrI

Superintendent T. D. Walsh of the
Nevada-Arizona mine yesterday came
in from Music Mountain and reported
the exposure of ore running better
than 800 per ton in the Blacksmith
tunnel, which is being driven into the
ore body. The ore has been assaying
from s15 to $40, but the last run from
the breast gave values of about $130.
The new ore is still in the o5udized
zone and below the old ore body
found in the Roosevelt tunnel. Bet
ter ore is sure to be found when the
main ore body is reached. Mr.. Walsh
is feeling good over the strike and be-
ieves he has the makings of one Of
the largest ore bodies ever found in
the property.
Mohave County miner., 1917-02-10

the ore as each succeeding stage was
reached, and thousands of tons of ore
opened up. The value of the ore is
very high and, with high percentage
Of recovery, the bars of bullion will
surely continue to grow in size as each
month passes by.
Mohave county people know the his
tory of this great mine. It has been
one of marvels. George W. Long and
Jack McIver started the driving of a
perpendicular shaft to reach what
they believed to be a spur Of the big
Tom Reed vein. They had few dol
lars, but they put in their own money
and time and secured the backing of
some Kingman, Oatman and Bisbee
people, and continued the struggle to
get to a depth that they thought
would be the point for a crosscut to-
ward the vein. This was at 800 feet.
They encountered it and found a bo-
nanza. Mudd, Keith and Wiseman, big
men in the copper game, came in and
financed the property from that point,
and the world is enriched by what they
brought forth. Millions are now in
sight and the big mill is turning it in
to bullion. ]. A. Burgess is the su-
perintendent of the mine and Wallace
Keith is the secretary.

Manager C. D. Rooklidge came in
from the Cyclopic mines yesterday.
He reports that the weather has been
quite severe and that some of the
work was suspended a few days, but
that now the mill is being run IL
hours daily on good ore. Three shifts
would be put on the mill if a supply
of cyanide could be obtained, but that
none is in sight before next June,
which fact greatly curtails the output
of gold.

SAILINGS
ARE POSTPONED
INDEFINITELY

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Sailings of
the American line steamships St.
Louis and St. Paul, now in the port Of
New York, have been indefinitely
postponed, it was announced here to-
might by P. A. S. Franklin, president
Of the international Mercantile Mar
inc.
The announcement followed an Of
ficial statement received by telephone
from the state department at Wash
ington declining to advise private per-
sons as to whether or not their ships
should start on voyages which would
take them within the war zones laid
down by Germany. The state depart
ment pointed out, however, that neu-
tral vessels may arm themselves for
defense, if the owners so elect and
that it is the right Of an American
vessel to traverse any part Of the high
seas.
After receiving the message from
Washington, Mr.. Franklin issued the
following statement:
''The American line announces that
the sailing dates of the steamers st.
Louis and st. Paul, now in the port
Of New York, have been indefinitely
postponed. The following message was
received today by telephone from Sec
retary Of State Lansing:
"'The government cannot give ad-
vice to private persons as to whether
or not their merchant vessels should
sail on voyage to European ports
by which they would be compelled to
pass through the waters delineated in
the declaration issued by the German
government on January 81, 1917.
ait, however, asserts that the
rights of American vessels to traverse
all parts Of the high seas are the same
now as they were prior to the issuance
of the German declaration and that
neutral vessel may, if its owners be-
lieve that it is liable to be unlawfully,
attacked, take any necessary meas
ures to prevent or resent attacks
''The American line officers have
now taken under consideration
whether to sail their steamers within
prohibited waters or whether it is
their duty to provide guns and gun
ners on their own account"
The Anchor line steamship Tuscania
arrived here tonight, three days late
from Glasgow, with Sc cabin and
steerage passengers. The delay in the
voyage was attributed by passengers
to rough weather and a zig-zag course
the liners commander took to avoid
submarines. The Tuscania's officers

tornia Of the same l.ne when they ar
rived at Quarantine tonight.
