SCRUBS DEFEAT
 REGULARS $ ID 1
From Tuesdays Daily Miner)


 The ball game last Sunday between the regulars and the scrubs resulted in 6 to victory in favor of the lat ter.
 Tommy Clark was on the mound for the winners and Jess Orrendorf did the receiving. This combination, aided by seven others, sure played rings around the regulars. They outgeneraled and outfelded their op- ponents.
 The only thing that saved them from a shutout was a misplay on the part of the third baseman in the eighth inning. A runner was caught between third and home, the catcher and shortstop being the principals in the play. The third baseman got in front of the shortstop and hit the ball just enough to knock it out of his hands and the run scored.
 The winners, all swelled up over their victory, challenged the regulars to game to be played Wednesday af- ternoon. The game will be called at 2:45 for a purse of $50. The agree ment is that each team shall have the same lineup as played Sunday.

[. l. ). PROPERTY Is GOOD PROPOSITION
 WORTH DEVELOPING
From Tuesday,. Daily Minsrl

One of the mines that is idle today and which was in its day the one best bet in the mining game of Mohave county, is the c. O. D. This property was located in the early seventies by J. H. Johnson, new deceased. For many years MT. Johnson operated the property and shipped to the mill a large tonnage of very rich silver ore. In the eighties the mine was taken over by Charles Dana and Matt Howell, both of whom are deceased. For four years these men operated the property and shipped to the smelters S1 100000 in silver ore. This ore also carried values in lead and gold. Dana died, and the estate refused to mine further, it having developed that a new shaft would have to be sunk, which would entail an expenditure of S10,000 or more. Howell owned only a slight interest in the property and was unable to go on with the neces- sary development.
 Later the mine was sold to John Lynch, we'll known assayer and min ing man of Kingman. Mir. Lynch and others built mill on the property, but were unable to handle the low grade ores in the mine stopes at a profit, or rather make a good recovery of val ues. The mine was finally allowed to fill with water and later the larger in terest passed into the hands of the C.. 0. D. Mining company. Only small amount of work has been done since the organization of this company.
 The shaft of the c. O. D. has reach ed depth of 38O feet on the incline, but no work of importance has been done lately below the 300. Above that level there is a large tonnage of avail able ore that can be reached by con- meeting up about 15 feet of shaft with the 300 level. The mine is sure to make good with a small expenditure of money and it is to be hoped that capital hunting for investment should not overlook the property.

ARIZONA MAY HAVE
 2,4OO GUARDSNEN
 IF PLAN WORKS OUT

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The ex- act place the National guard is to fill in the national army still is matter of speculation in the war department.
 One proposal is that these additional regiments, or others substituted for them, be assigned for police duty, re- ieving the units which soon will be needed at training camps. In that ev- ent, states might be encouraged to recruit police regiments among older men, giving them an opportunity to serve their country without undergo ing the hardships of campaigning.
 If the guard is expanded, a plan for sixteen infantry and two cavalry divisions has been prepared. Following western infantry divisions by states with the peace strength quota for each state: California 9,100; Utah 3,200; Arizona 2,4O0; Colorado 4,S0O; New Mexico 2,4OO; Nevada 2,400.

RED GAP DRIFT Is
 IN GOOD MILLING ORE
lFrrm saturday,s paily MInerl

From Saturdays Daily MinerI
 Thursday evening A. E. Burns, Kean St. Charles and James Rehling returned from the Red Gap, where they made an examination of the re- cent development in the new drift. They report that the breast of the drift is now all in ore and of good milling grade. The stope above the drift is producing Very rich ore, which is being placed on the dump.
 Some weeks ago the mining editor of the Daily Miner was at the Red Gap and doped out the conditions in in article on the property and the prediction there made has been veri- fled by the continuation of the drift in. to new ground. It appeared that a big ore body was almost in view in the drift, and that ten or 15 feet would bring it into sight. The ore body is now there and is widening with every foot of advance.

 Big Reef Machinery Working.
 The plant of machinery recently in- stalled at the main-working shaft of the Big Reef Copper company, located in the Big Bug district in the vicinity of the camp of Mayer, went into com mission a few days ago. The work of sinking the shaft has been expedit- ed thereby and is attended by an in crease of chalcopyrite as depth is gained. The property is considered one of the most promising partially de- veloped propositions outside of the Jerome district.
 It lies in a belt of mineralized schist running nearly north and south and presents an unbroken and well mineralized outcrop for a length of 25O0 feet. Wherever prospected on the Big Reef estate this outcrop sam ples "pay" in copper. Mining men of Yavapai county are watching with in terest the development work on the Big Reef as they believe the results at depth will confirm the mineral showing at surface and add another producing mine to the list headed by the Binghampton, Blue Bell, De Soto, Henrietta, Butternut and other prop critics in the vicinity of Mayer.

AUTO WRECKS STAND,

A wrecked peanut stand, a barber pole and partially smashed up auto mobile were the casualties" of the gyrations of an automobile being dem onstrated by A. B. Schnedl last night. A woman to whom he expected to sell the car is said to have been driving and lost control of the machine as it rounded the corner. The stand of John the peanut man" at the corner of Fourth and Beale streets was turn ed over, and the machine bounded across the street in the direction of Falder's barber shop, crashing into the pole and coming to a stop only when a heavy iron post blocked traffic for the machine. A smashed fender and radiator represented the damage to the automobile, a new Willis Knight.

EHLE GROUP SOLD ID COPPER VALLEY;
 ID RESUME WORK

PRESCOTT, Ariz. May 15 (spec- ial)-The formal closing of the deal for the Ehle group of mines, has just been announced, and the organization of the Copper Valley Mining Com pany has been perfected. Among the officers elected were W. L: Richards, president; F. c. Whisman, vice-presi- dent, and D. c. MacIver, secretary.
 The group consists of ten claims situated less than three miles north west of the Commercial in Copper Basin, and development given by the former owners extending to many years ago, consists of 12 shafts rang ing in depths of from ten to over 50 feet. The values are copper, only and in some openings a good per centage of the red metal is shown. A camp is being established and work begins at certain points immediately. Machinery is ordered also. This prop erty is among the oldest in point of To- cation in the Copper Basin district, and its ore content is identical to that of the Loma Prieta, the Commercial, Copper Hill and other mines now op- erating in the basin proper. It is generally believed by mining engi- neers that the Ehle is a continuation of the above belt, which form an op- erating standpoint is today passing through larger exploration under fav- orable conditions than at any time in it's history.

RED GROSS NOT ID
 HAVE CHAPTER HERE
CFrOm Tuesdays Daily Miner,

At the regular weekly meeting of the Kingman auxiliary of the Red Cross society held in the Odd Fellows hall yesterday afternoon, plans for or ganizing chapter in Mohave county were considered and nine new mem- bers were added to the list. After dis cussing suggestions from national headquarters of the Red Cross in Washington, it was practically decided not to attempt to organize chapter in Kingman at this time. It was ex- plained that a membership of 800 would be required to obtain a charter for a chapter and that the volume of work expected would be too heavy for the local organization.
 A report was submitted by the com mittee on finances, showing that S144.- 35 had been collected to date. Plans for continuing work in cooperation with the national Red Cross were con- sidered.

MOLYBDENUM

Molybdenum is substance which is playing a part in the present war for both the allies and the Germans. Used in hardening the steel which is used in the rifing of the big guns, it is report ed to have increased the life of the guns twenty times, and many projec- tiles are also hardened with molybde- mum as well as a great deal of the armor plate which was formerly hard ened with tungsten or vanadium. It is estimated, too, that the amount of molybdenum required to harden steel is only about one-half to one-third the amount of tungsten which is necessary to give the same result.
 Curiously enough, molybdenum is used also as a stablizer in some high explosives, smokeless powders and to make a dense smoke in the location bombs which are fired previous to the firing of the projectile. It is used in many chemicals and in dyes for leath- CT, rubber, silk, as a disinfectant, for freproofing, in some cases in place of platinum, while in electric lights it has replaced other metals which were pre- viously used for the support of the filament. The output of Canada at the present time is perhaps the largest in  the world.-New York Evening Post.
