TWO PRISONERS QUIT
 COUNTY ROAD GANG
tFrOm saturday,s paiIr Minerl

Road-grading and bootlegging are two distinct vacations, in the opinion of Harry McDowell and Harry Ken nedy, serving sentences in the county jail on charges of illegal sale of i- quor. They had been working with the gang of prisoners on the county highway near Kingman and while be- ing returned to the county jail late Thursday afternoon, disappeared. Me Dowell made his escape several miles in the country, while Kennedy's ab- sence was noted just before the pris- oners reached the jail. The former was just beginning a 10O-day sentence and $100 fine, while the latter had but a few more days more to serve. If apprehended, McDowell and Kennedy will face imprisonment in the state penitentiary, jail breaking being class ed as a felony.

emissaries, Federal Agent Dave Ger shon of San Diego city has said.
 Suspected of complicity in several bomb plots at San Diego and of at- tempting to gain entrance to the North Island aviation camp, he was taken into the tolls of the law early in April, but was released because of insufficient evidence.
 He left San Diego immediately and went to Los Angeles, where he was arrested on April q on the charge of passing fictitious checks.
 Flammerdinghe is 35 years old and a well educated man, speaking several languages fluently. He is said to treat his arrest lightly and declares he will not be found guilty of any enemy act against the United States. He admits he was a commissioned of ticer in the kaiser's army and told with great gusto of his escape from the British concentration camp.
 The chain of evidence against him the authorities believe to be complete, and his internment until the end of the war as an alien enemy, as the most lenient act of the government in his case, will culminate his checkered and eventful career for the present.

Yesterday the United Eastern filed four deeds conveying the interests of the Big Jim Mining company to the Big Jim and other claims in the Tom Reed section. The trade was made some time ago, the United Eastern is- suing one share of Eastern stock for six shares of Big Jim. This would give the mine a valuation of about $600,000. Just what will be done with the Big Jim property in the hands of the United Eastern has not yet devel- oped, although it is understood that operations on the mine will continue until the property has been put in a stage.

"HOCH DER KAISER"

The following poem was recited by, Captain Coghlan of the United States navy at a banquet of the Union League in New York City in 1898. It was at time when considerable feeling existed be- tween this country and Germany, due to the an- tagonistic attitude displayed by the German admiral when Dewey sailed into Manila Bay. The poem created laugh all around the world and the captain was reprimanded, though it was largely by way of formality:
 Der Kaiser of dis Fatherland Und Gott on high all dings command We two-ach Don't you understand?

COPPER FAME IS NEW CONCERN
 PLANNING ID START UP SOON

The Copper Fame Mining company is one of the late interpretations of this section, and has as it's incorpora- tors Senator S. E. Barron and asso- ciates. The company owns ten claims in Union Basin in the Wallapai mining district, and is in the heart of the sec tion that has given to the mining world the Golconda, Tennessee and numbers of others which give promise of proving as good as the two leaders named above.
 The values contained in the ores ob- tained are not solely from a single metal, but come from gold, silver, lead and copper, and the several metals combine to make for most favorable values.
 From more than a hundred assays run from different samples taken from the property by the owners an average of better than $50 was obtained. The ten claims owned by the new company cover 4,500 lineal feet of the Tennes- see-Golconda reef or vein and totals some 153 acres in area, surrounded by many of the best mines and prospects of the county.
 Not far away is the Jamison, Night hawk, Golconda, Middle Golconda, Col conda Extension, the famous turquoise mines owned by Tiffany of New York,

Mohave County miner., 1917-05-19

and scores of others that back the statements of the optimistic ones of the district who say that they are in the best sulphide belt in the world.
 The average width of the vein through the ground owned by the new company is in excess of 100 feet and maintains throughout the entire dis tance.
 As soon as the company has receiv- ed its permit from the corporation commission it will place 100000 shares of treasury stock on the market at a price of 10c for the purpose of raising funds for equipment and development work, and in view of the fact that this section is most adaptable to tunnel work, it is thought that not a great deal of work will be necessary before the many openings now on the prop erty will be carried to a depth that will be sufficient to guarantee the blocking of ore enough to look ahead to a reduction plant.
 The fact that the company has pro- vided competent board of directors and capable management will assure the shareholders that they will receive a square deal in that direction. Taken all in all, this new company has most favorable chances to become one of the foremost of the good ones of that section.

KINGMAN WAS
 ID BE CENTER
 FOR PLOTTERS
Flammerdinghe, Caught on Coast. Planned to Mobilize German ReserviSts Here: Took Pictures of Many Mines.

Maps and documents found on Lieut.. Rudolf c. Begageld von Hammer dinghe when he was arrested in Los Angeles April 27, indicating that Kingman was to be the center of mob ilization of German reservists for western Arizona and southern Califor- mia, have been sufficient to warrant federal authorities in holding von Flammerdinghe, according to advices received from Los Angeles. Won Flam- merdinghe now is in custody of fed eral authorities, who claim that his ar rest furnished the key for exposing German plots to dynamite bridges, wreck public buildings and banks and otherwise carry on a campaign of terror in the southwest.
 Won Flammerdinghe spent some time in the minnig district of Mohave county in March and April. He rep resented himself as a mining engineer from South Africa and visited a num- Der of mines, taking pictures and os- tensibly collecting mining data. He is said to have pretended to local au- tomobile men that he wanted to pur- chase an automobile and visited the mines on demonstration trips.
 Leaves Box of Chemicals
 He left a box continuing chemicals, which he said were used in making high explosives for the German army at the Oatman office of the Brown & Robinson Transportation company. He explained that he intended to use the chemicals in experimental works in some of the mines and later would have it forwarded to him. He warn ed the cashier of the office against placing the chemicals too close to the fire. The box was from the Braun Chemical company of Los Angeles.
 After hearing of von Hammer dinghe's arrest on the cost the box of supposed chemicals was turned over to Sheriff Cohenour and now is in his possession pending instructions from federal officials as to it's disposition.
 Tried To Get Into Aviation
 When arrested in Los Angeles the first time, shortly after he had been jailed at San Diego for attempting to gain entrance to the North Island fly ing camp, Flammerdinghe's effects contained numerous code telegrams and maps, enscrolled with mysterious 
 These were dispatched to headquar- ters at Washington for the scrutiny of the head of the intelligence depart ment and his aides, and Hammer dinghe was released under strict sur veillance by authorities everywhere in California, to throw, it is said, his agents off the trail, after being held a short while at San Diego.
 Had Charge of District 6
 This assertion is based on the fact that J. Wolff, alias Frank Wolff, alias Frank Fels, was shortly afterward ar rested in San Francisco on an alien | enemy charge preferred against him on evidence reported to have resulted from Flammerdinghe's documents. Wolff is said to have confessed that

Flammerdinghe was his superior in the district, including western Arizona and southern California, one of ten in the United States controlled by the master spy" located in an eastern city, coast officials declare.
 With Flammerdinghe's arrest all probability of property destruction by German intelligence agents and sym pathisers has been made highly un- likely, the officials claim, for the key to the proposed program of violence is now in the hands of government officers in the shape of maps and plans.
 The maps, it is reported, denote Kingman as the concentration point of all German reservists in southern California, whither all were to as semble when the order went out from the master spy"
 Interesting Little Lists
 The plans are alleged to contain a list of the wealthist southern Cali fornians, list of Los Angeles banks and their deposits and attaches, a ros- ter of automobiles and their owners, and sundry other interesting data that gives a keen insight into the workings of the Teutonic mind when bent on a campaign of ruthlessness.
 All danger of dynamite plots, bridge wreckings and kindred atrocities is now a thing of the past, the authori- ties are confident, and a nation wide clean up of German intelligence agents, who evaded the federal drag net when it first swept over the land by reason of high positions, they say, is to be the result of the Hammer dinghe documents.
 Flammerdinghe is being closely guarded in solitary confinement at the county jail in Los Angeles at the or der of federal agents located there. He was brought last week from San Diego, where he was arrestded for the third time on May 4.
 The story of Flammerdinghe's ca reer reads like a "nickel thriller"
 At the time the European war broke cut Flammerdinghe was a min ing engineer in German South Africa. As lieutenant on the reserve he was called to the colors and fought until the Ypres battles. Then he was wounded and taken prisoner by the British.
 Healed of his wounds at an English camp, Flammerdinghe, it is said, bribed one of his guards and made his way to America. After conferring with agents in this country he came west and located at San Diego, assuming charge of the Teuton
