BAKERS ID BE LICENSED; ALL
 MUST COMPLY

PHOENIX, Dec. 6-The office of the Arizona food administration Is working out plans for the enforcement of the rules and regulations to be placed in effect December 10, when every bakery in the state using more than ten barrels of flour a month will be placed under government control.
 In explaining the scope of the new regime and its application to the ba- kers of Arizona, Timothy A. RiorGan, head of the state food administration, said:
 Standardization of the bakers throughout the nation was the first aim of the presidents proclamation placing the bakeries under federal i- .eense. And the object of standardiza- tion is to reduce the cost of public bak- ing and distribution, to reduce the waste of flour and to limit the use of sugar and lard in the preparation of bakery bread. By fixing the unit ot weight at one pound and with Q stabilized price of flour the present differences in quality will tend to van ish and for the period of the war con- petition will be reduced to matter of price and service.
 "There is nothing harsh or unjust in any of these regulations in that all are placed on the same plane. Some of the regulations imposed call for the very things which the bakers have long desired but were prevented from adopting because of competition. For instance, investigations show that a large portion of returned stale bread for which the retailer was credited was actually destroyed and that the amount of good wheat flour lost to the nation in this one item has amounted to more than a half million barrels annually"
 The general rules which will go into effect in Arizona with the licensing of the bakeries summarized are aimed to prevent:
 1. Movement of goods to the con- sumner in any but the most direct line possible and with minimum delay.
 2. Licenses dealing in food commo- dities for the purpose of creating a monopoly.
 3. The destruction of bakery prod ucts or the commission of other waste.
 4. The return of stale bread or crediting the retailer for unsold ba- kery products.
 5. The manufacture of bread ex- cept in 16 or 24-ounce units or multi pies thereof.
 In view of an apparent misunder- standing it was stated all applications for licenses should be made direct to the .. S. Food Administration, Li- cense Division, Legal Department, Washington, D. c.

UNITED TUNGSTEN
 COPPER ID BEGIN
 SHIPMENTS AT ONCE

Tungsten is termed the "key-metaP' today.
 In other wars, copper, tin and lead were, next to steel, the most import ant martial metals, but in the pres ent conflict tungsten alloyed with high-speed steel is the dominating fac tor. Without high-speed steel, ma chine tools could not be produced nor operated in sufficient quantity to make the famous French "75" guns, along with shells, rifles, machine guns and cartridges.
 Germany, prior to 1914, had a prac- tical monopoly of the worlds tungsten products. The mines of Merma, in English territory, were controlled and operated by Teutons and the ore ship ped to Germany for treatment. After the outbreak of the war the United States increased it's production and in 1916 turned out 1000 tons of the best and purest tungsten concentrates.
 United Tungsten-Copper Hines, which owns 36O acres of highly min eralized tungsten-bismuth property in the San Bernardino mountains of Cali fornia is about to make it's first ship ment of tungstic and concentrates and bismuth. The company's Weaver tun- nel has an ore shoot exposed 14O feet along the contact running to 15 feet E. width.
 Frank L. Hess, tungsten expert for the United States geological survey, who recently made an examination Of these tungsten properties on behalf of the government, discovered that bis muth was associated with these tung- sten deposits. It is claimed that since this discovery bismuth has been defi- nitely located in substantial commer- cial bodies of this ore, and that as says of the combined ore bodies show tungstic acid as high as 23.8O per cent and bismuth 15.9O per cent.
 Assays of the tungsten concentrates about to be shipped from these mines are said to give 64.25 per cent of tungsten or 4.25 per cent above the 60 per cent designated as standard A battery of Joplin jigs is now concen- trating daily five tons of ore prior to 1 the installation next spring of the 75- ton concentrating plant.-The Wall ! Street Journal.

CHLORIDE NEWS
Special correspondence covering the Chloride District to the
 MOhave Daily Miner by the Chloride Herald, correspondent.

A special train bearing Santa Fe officials, among whom were President E. P. Ripley, General Manager A. G. Wells, Fred Ripley, in charge of the Santa Fe Railroad company's oil in- terests; Superintendent J. A. Christy and Trainmaster N. E. Scott, visited Chloride Tuesday morning. L. H. Ledger accompanied the party. President Ripley stated to the Her aid that his visit has no special signi- ficance; that he wasron his way to California, where he will spend the winter, and embraced this opportunity to run over the line to Chloride. This was his first trip over the Chloride branch and he described it as most interesting"
 The party visited the Tennessee mine and later spent short period conversing with Agent J. M. McMil- Ian, acquainting themselves with the local situation.

NEW MOHAWK
 OPENS UP RICH
 STREAK PAY ORE

The east drift on the 150-foot level No. 2 shaft, New Mohawk. has opened up breast of milling ore about five feet in width. This drift is getting very close to a point under the winze in the tunnel from which early-day l leasers planned to open up the vein, but who stopped work just as they were getting into the highgrade be- cause of the accidental death of one of the partners. Ruby silver is show ing now in this drift and the chances of opening up something of interest are growing stronger daily.
 In the west drift, which is now in 81 feet from the shaft, about four feet of good milling ore is showing, with a streak of good ruby silver ore on the foot wall and another on the hanging wall, each averaging about six inches in width.
 Stoping operations in the west drift are continuing, and already about ten tons of real high-grade shipping ore is on the dump. This ore is carefully sorted from the run-of-mine, the bal ance being thrown on another pile for future milling
 The machinery taken from Number 2 shaft has been placed on Number 8 shaft and is working nicely. This shaft has attained a depth of 90 feet and is just getting into the ore which shows a width of nearly two feet ap- parently of good grade.

Negotiations which are pending for the purchase of 1OO,OOO,OOO ounces of silver for the United States and Eng fish requirements indicate that the price will be about S715 cents per oz.
 George Wingfield has caught the oil fever. He will not be troubled quite as much by high-graders as in the old Goldfield days, but John D. may take him into camp any time.

E. R. Boyden, who is holding option on part of the Grannis mines. in De- luge Wash, is in Kingman. He has just shipped a new milling plant to Yucca and expects to have it hauled to the mines as soon as possible. This will be the fourth mill to be erected in the molybdenite district of the county. Tests have been made of the ores with gratifying results.
Mohave County miner., 1917-12-08

The Merrimac shaft has cut the vein at a vertical depth of 131 feet, about 30 feet deeper than anticipated. The ledge proved to have straighten- ed up from a 40-degree to a 60-degree pitch. Good ore is showing, with some ruby silver, and it is confidently ex- pected that good strike will be made before the vein is entirely cut through.
 Three shifts are now working and every effort is being made to speed up."
 Col. J. c. Rankin, who has been camping on the spot waiting for the shaft to penetrate the ledge, left for Los Angeles Sunday afternoon, over joyed at the result of development work. He will return in a few days.

1 Very interesting services were held Sunday, November 25, in laying the cornerstone of the new Baptist church building with a good sized audience present. The following program was rendered:
 Singing by the congregation, led by MT. Hoffman, with his cornet. Singing by the children, Battle Hymn of the Republic, accompanied by the harp and cornet.
 Prayers by Postmaster Russell and Mir. Virgin.
 Solo by Mrs. TaffeA The Heavenly Song, accompanied by the harp.
 Remarks by Mrs. Russell; subject, ''Need of a Church"
 Trio by Mesdames Taffel, Ferguson and Marshall.
 Remarks by Mir. Virgin; subject, Foundation of the Church" Quintette, Mesdames Taffel, Fergu- son and Marshall; Messrs. Russel and Virgin.
 Address by Mir. Clark, "The Baptist Church and Its Doctrines" Solo by MT. Clark, accompanied by the harp.
 Laying of the cornerstone with ap- propriate remarks and prayer by the pastor.
 The laying of the cornerstone of the new Baptist church marks another milestone in the progress of Chloride. For years this place has been without a church building, and with a keen desire for house to worship in, a few resolved that the camp needed such place. In a few more weeks they will have realized their goal. The plan, weather conditions permitting, IS Ito have it ready for occupation by Christmas
 A large portion of the success, to date, in the enterprise is due to the earnest activity of the Ladies' Aid, who have been working untiringly for the cause. On Friday, December ', they will hold a. bazaar in the Miners Hall for the purpose of raising addi- tional funds to furnish the building.
 As soon as the building is ready for services, the church is planning a re- vjval campaign. In the meantime reg ular preaching services will be main tained on Sundays in the school house.
 The committee in charge of finances is desirous that this worthy cause re- ceive the hearty support of all the people of Chloride, and that instead of the committee having to see each person individually. each one should make voluntary contribution to the building fund. Arrangements are made that this may be done through the Arizona Central bank of Chloride.
