TWO AUTOS CRASH;
 NJ ONE Is INJURED

A head-on collision of two automo- piles near the Mcguire ranch a couple of days ago resulted in the wrecking of the radiators of both machines and fortunately further damage was very slight, both drivers receiving no great CT injuries than a shaking up.. A Rec, driven by Harry Price, collided with the Ford truck of the Arizona, California and Nevada Telephone Company, driven by Robert McDoug- al.
 One version of the affair was that McDougal driving westward had slow ed down to pass the first one of three approaching cars and had pulled to the side of the road to pass, when the second car speeded up and passed the two first cars. Price then thought that he too could get between the cars and followed the othre car with the above result, the two first passing cars evidently having gotten closer together than he anticipated.

 Information has been received that the government is considering the matter of examining again all regstrans who have been granted exemptions and is not unlikely that very few claims for exemption will be granted.
 Of the 162 67 regsrants failed to appear before the local board. About 30 did not report at all, while the others either have enlisted examined elsewhere or had their registration cards cancelled.

ALL EXPLOSIVES
 MUST BE GUARDED

Information to the effect that large quantities of dynamite and blasting powder were frequently left unguard- ed and in places where they could easily be stolen, has resulted in the State Council of Defense sending out warnings that all such explosives hereafter must be carefully watched.
 According to information reaching the State Defense body, many tons of explosives could easily be secured by enemy plotters because of the fail ure of mining companies, ranchers and others to keep careful check up- on them. Each county council of de- fense is asked to cooperate in seeing that the explosives are carefully guarded.
 That the warning is merely to safe guard against the theft and use of such explosives by enemy plOtters and that no reports of dynamite having been stolen have reached the State Council, is the declaration of officials of that organization.

KINGMAN BOY GOES
 ID JOIN THE NAVY;
 HAD 5 YEARS SERVICE

When Uncle Sam called last June among those responding to the appeal for sailors and soldiers was Lloyd Mackey, Kingman ex-navy man. De spite the fact that he had served three years under the marine colors, and that his teeth were in poor condition, Mackey began to get ready for ser vice somewhere in the Atlantic.
 Wireless flashes of submarine chas- ing and combats with U-boats fired him with enthusiasm to be back with the blue jackets and Mackey visited a dentist to arrange for the extra teeth he might need. He belonged to the naval reserve and got in touch with the government, resulting in mo- tifcation this week that he report at Brooklyn at once.
 He will leave tomorrow for Cobra do Springs to visit relatives and friends a few days and then proceed to Brooklyn for service aboard some battleship war-zone bound. Mackey was assistant paymaster in the quar- termaster's corps when he was in the service before, and hopes to obtain a similar place owing to his experience.

BLODGET1 Is CALLED
 BY ARMY; ID LEAVE
 HERE NEXT TUESDAY

Fror4 rallroadirg to fighting the kaiser Is not a far cry for F. T. Blod- gett of Kingman, roadmaster of the Santa Fe, wto has just received notice to report at the military training at Leon Springs, Texas. He will leave Kingman next Tuesday, Aug. q, and report for duty on Aug. 25 at Leon Springs.
 MT. Blodgett is considered one of the best railroad men in this section and his call to the colors a. .ns Ji-1e is taken to indicatte that he will soon be given a commission in the expedi- tionary army in France. He is an experienced soldier, having served seven years in the regular army, part of which time he spent in the Phili- pines.
 It is very likely that he will be giv- en captaincy in the quarteImasters corps, owing to his wide experience in railroading. One of the most im- portant things the American railroad men will be call upon to do in France is rearrange the transportation sys- tenn in order to facilitate quick and adequate handling of the American contingents and transportation of mu- nitions and supplies.

 CLEOPATRA MINES

c. E. Zeigler, of Jerome, agent of the Cleopatra Copper Company, ac- companied by MT. Hart, geologist of the United Verde Extension Copper company, arrived in Kingman yester- day from the south part of Mohave county, where they made an exam ination of the Cleopatra mines. MT. Hart is said to have expressed himself favorably toward the mines and MT. Zeigler was much impressed with their magnitude.

The mines lie between the great McCracken mine and the Bill Will Hams Fork. The ore is rich in gold and copper, and a superficial amount of work has opened immense ore bod ies.
 With suitable machinery and the opening of the mines below the leach ed zone this property ought to be one of the big things of the state. The operation of the mines will be in good hands as soon as properly financed. E. F. Thompson, of Kingman, is pres dent; Anson H. Smith, vice president; J. w. Morgan, secretary and treasurer
