by his wife shortly after their mar
riage and after their separation. In
this letter Mrs. Gllllngs made the fol
lowing statements:
1--WE are not living in the age OF
slaves or heather, nor 100 years ago,
nor even so years ago. Women are
waking up. They are no longer con.
sidered white slave of man. You
will receive no sympathy from any
well read man or woman of today"
Another passage read:
mot only l refuse on religious oil
conscientious grounds, but my own
personal feelings and the welfare of
the future generation of my children.
You are to be pitied, surely-you, with
your century-ago ideas of the duty of
wife to man, usual marital relations,
etc"
Mrs. Gillings had written this let
ter in response to his appeals that
she live with him and make home
for him.
"And she was June bride, too" ex.
claimed Gillings. The court granted
the annulment.

silver.

Chicago.-F. II. Perry, of this city,
is receiving revenue Of nearly $780,
600 month from his quicksilver mine
in the Big Bend country of Texas,
which he was forced to take over sew
eral years ago to satisfy debt of
5000. In fact when Mr.. Perry came
into possession of this 1880 acres of
land he regarded 1t as worthless. He
did not even take the trouble to go to
see IT, knowing the region to be bar
rem and almost unlnhabttable. How
ever. fate had decreed that fortune
should smile on Mr.. Perry.
Since the price of quicksilver mount
ed from S45 to $50 per flask of 10
pounds because of the war in Europe,
Mr.. Perry's mine has produced 49,
100000 worth Of the material. What
the mine is worth today no one ven
lures to estimate, but. figuring on its
revenue producing basis, 1t ought to
have n value Of not less than $4,000
900.

MIDDLE GOLGONDA
 NOW SHIPPING ORE

Last week the Middle Golconda shipped to the shelter a carload of rich silver ore from the property in Todd Basin. The lower tunnel has been run into the ore-bearing ground in which the silver values have been found. Superintendent Bell has been driving ahead on the ore body and now has a large tonnage of the rich ore opened up. For the present the work is being confined almost exclusively to the silver-bearing part of the vein, although splendid values have been developed in the zinc-lead part of the property.
 With large milling plant the Mid dle Golconda would be one of the larg- est shippers in the district, there being many thousands of tons of high grade milling ore in the dumps and in the mine stopes. The property has been developed to a wonderful extent with the amount of money expended.

CHAS. K. RIDENOUR
 DIES AT PASADENA

Charles K. Ridenour, aged 27, we'll
 known merchant of Blackberry, died last Monday at Pasadena, Cal, after an extended illness. He had been sui fering from a complication of diseases for several months. In the hopes of regaining health, he was removed to a Los, Angeles hospital last summer, but did not improve and was taken to the Mayo Brothers hospital at Roch- ester, Minn., but the noted surgeons were unable to bring relief.
 Mir. Ridenour was born and raised in this county and had spent most of his life at Blackberry, where he had been engaged in the mercantile busi- ness. He was known as an enterpris- ing young business man and well liked by large number of people.
 Decedent was a member of the Elks' lodge of Kingman, under whose aus pices the funeral was held at Hack berry Wednesday afternoon. A large number of Kingman friends and fel- low lodge members attended the funeral. Interment was at Blackberry He is survived by a wife and two children, his father, w. B. Ridenour and brother, w. K.

NEW ARMY SOLDIER
 OF HIGHEST TYPE;
 Y.M.C.A. DRIVE IS ON

The type of the men comprising the present United States army was well shown by little incident which took place recently at Ash Fork, Ariz. Several trainloads of soldiers were at that point being transferred from Camp Funston, Kans., to Camp Kearny, Cal. At the station in Ash Fork a gray-haired old lady attracted the attention of the soldiers. In spite of the fact that there were several at tractive young girls present, the motherly old lady was the one with whom the soldiers wanted to shake hands, She shook hands with all of them, and as the train passed on, she bade Godspeed to "her boys"
 This incident emphasizes the new type of American soldier, the man who knows home ties, who knows the mothers warm clasp, and feels the need of it. It is this need that the Y. M. c. A. in its war work is trying in a small way, to fill, to send the soldiers back to their homes Tn as good condition physically and morally as when they left them.
 That the people of the United States are willing to furnish this is shown by the active interest that is being taken by the many business men in the country who are behind the movement and are giving their time and money to work up the Y. M. c. A. war work drive for S35,OOO,OOO. Even the boys of the country are back of it. The boys in the high schools are to furnish one million of the thirty-five to be raised.
 The campaign is on from Nov. Il to 19, inclusive, for a very small amount to supply that something which has never been needed before in warfare.

Classification of Selectives to Be Undertaken
 First Time

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The six teen-page questionnaire, compiled by Provost Marshal General Crowder's selective service experts has been made public. It asks 148 questions, designed to disclose a mans whole life. On the answer each of the 9,0OO,OOO who must reply to these questions gives will depend his selection for military service.
 One of the most important features of the questionable is the fact that it contains for the first time officially the exact classifications, the exact na- ture of the five groups into which reg istered men will be divided. These were given unofficially at a dinner in honor of Secretary of War Baker and General Crowder in New York, but have been widely revised and greatly changed since then. AS made public today they follow:
 CLASS I
 (a) Single men without dependent relatives.
 (b) Married men with or without children, or father of motherless children, who has habitually failed to to support his family.
