This Man Has no
 Terror of JinX

The old superstition that it is un- lucky to start a railroad journey on Friday can be tucked away with the moth balls. Neither should the numeral "13" have any terrors for the traveller
 W. E. Johnson excursion agent on the Washington-Sunset route, has made 93S trips between San Francisco and Washington, covering a period of r years and months. He left on Friday 496 times. Moreover, he made one round trip every 13 days, and 13 round trips every six months. The total mileage covered during the above period was 3,404,102 miles. On an average of 20 passengers on each trip, Johnson accompanied 18,760 passen- gers across the continent. And he is still going.

AEROPLANE PASSES
 OVER THIS COUNTY
fFrom Mondays Daily Minerl

An aeroplane was observed passing over the Round Valley section, by per sons living there, several nights ago. The machine was travelling to the west and passed out of sight behind the Wallapai mountains. The first notice was had by the appearance of small starlike light coming over from the east and as it was travelling along in a horizontal position it drew their at tention until it passed from view.
 When it passed the closest range they report they were able to distin- guish the shape of the machine and were fully convinced that they were not mistaken.
 It is not unlikely that this was an aeroplane as this is only about 400 miles from the government aviation field at San Diego.

REARRANGEMENT OF CAPITAL IS BEING PLANNED
fFrpm wednesdax,s Daily Minerl

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 25.-To re- lieve the crowded condition of the state house pending the construction of the addition, for which S75,OOO has been appropriated by the last legisla- ture, the new commission for the man. agement and control of state institu- tions has been endeavoring to rear range the departments in order to provide much-needed room.
 After thorough investigation, the commission has decided that the state corporation commission can be moved to quarters outside the state house with the least inconvenience. In fact that department has more business with the general public than any other in the state house. The commission therefore, is looking for suitable quar. ters in a downtown office building fol the state corporation commission unti the completion of the new capitol ad. dition will give adequate quarters fol all departments.
 With the corporation commission To. cated down town, the offices now useC by that department may be occupied by the state institutions commission or by the state auditor and banl comptroller, the state commission moving into the suite of rooms nov occupied by the state auditor anC comptroller which adjoin the commits sion offices. However, no definite ar engagements have yet been made.

LOCAL PEOPLE SAW
 BIG METOR AS II
 CRASHED ID EARTH
fFrom Mondays Daily Minerl


 The meteor reported to have fallen about three miles from Mount Wilson in southern California last Friday ev- ening, was observed by many persons here. One auto party saw the descent of the meteor and it's colorings and their changes as it came to earth was superior to almost any fireworks that it has ever been their lot to witness.
 It appeared in the midheavens of the western sky and dropped rather. swift ly for time but on nearing the hori- zon, above which there was quite a circle of clouds, it apparently slowed up. When it first appeared it was of a beautiful greeninsh tinge and as it neared the clouds below it exploded, and as it did it's color turned to the brightest fiery red and in this wise dropped on through the clouds, show ing again just above the horizon still in it's fiery color.
 It then passed from sight behind the western hills and the report brings the news that it struck the earth just east of Mount Wilson.

WALNUT CREEK GO. MAKES BIG STRIKE
 IN THE WALLAPAIS
(FrOm Wednesdays Daily Miner)

Richard Cleve brought the good news in from the Walnut Creek sec tion of the Wallapai mountains of the recent strike of rich ore by the Walnut Creek Mining company. This com pany is running a crosscut tunnel to intercept the main vein which goes through the property (and which by the way happens to be an extension of the Victor Copper company's proper ty) and is into the mountain several hundred feet.
 Within the past few days the crew at work cut through nine feet of ore, which apparently is contained within a blind lead, and disseminated through out which was found large chunks of native copper. According to measure ments they have still some forty feet to run to the vein for which they were headed and with the strike just made the officials of the company are elated in anticipation of what they may strike when they get to this main vein.

lFrom Nonday,a Daily Minerl

Several thunder showers passed over this section yesterday, causing the washes to run in each of the locali- ties affected. Two great storms came together at Round Valley, one coming up from the south and one coming into this one from the east. Both of these were so dense with the falling water that they seemed to be almost black.
 A heavy shower passed over a sec tion of country between the forks of the road on the highway east of town and Frieze wash, the water running over the graded roadway.
 Late in the evening a heavy black thunderhead cloud passed out into the Sacramento valley from the vicinity of Walnut Creek in the Wallapai noun tains and apparently continued well up into the valley before the water supply was exhausted.
 Lightning struck three poles of the A. c. & N. Telephone company's Sandy line just east of the Frost Ranch house at Wallapai Springs yesterday, destroying these poles and following the wire into the Frost residence. It burned out the fuses and switch and a considerable length of the insulated copper wire was destroyed, the wire being melted from within the insula- tion.
 The thunder accompanying the stroke of ighning was terrific, crack ing with a noise as great as if some one had exploded box of dynamite in midair.
 One of the workman on the Frost place was sitting in a chair on the front porch, about ten or fifteen feet from where the lightning passed through the switch and he was dazed for some time after the shock.

CHLORIDE TOWNSHIP
 CASE NOW GOES ID THE
 FEDERAL LAND OFFICE
CFrom Wednesdays Daily Miner)

(From Wednesdays Daily Miner)
 The matter of the hearing of the application of Superior Judge J. A. Ellis for patent to the townsite of Chloride came before U. S. Commis- sioner Anson H. Smith today. J. P. Gideon and Caldwell Wright testified that they first went to Chloride in 1871 and that people were living there at that time. Messrs. Gideon and Wright are two of the oldest residents of the county and their memory for events of those early days is remark ably clear.
 J. c. Wilson and A. NJ. MacDuffee testified to the number of people re- siding within the limits of the terri tory over which patent is sought, as well as the value of the improvements. It developed that there were about 100 people in the town limits and ap- proximately S2OO,OOO worth of prop erty. The case now goes to the land office and will be favorably passed to be patented, it is understood.
 Following the patenting of the townsite Chloride will make an effort to incorporate. The people of the town are progressive and incorporation will be one of the most progressive move ments for the people of that thriving mining town.

An urgent appeal was received this morning from the Pacific coast divis- ion headquarters of the American Red Cross asking that the Kingman chap ter of the Red Cross rush at once all available supplies of surgical dressing and hospital equipment. Subsequently a call was issued to the women of Kingman to bring all white linen or cotton goods they can spare to be made into surgical dressing at the regular meeting of the work commit tee Friday afternoon, in order that the local organization may have credit able shipment to send to San Fran cisco. All articles ready will be ship ped at once, even though the supply is small.
 The urgency with which the call came was taken to indicate that the supplies are to be dispatched to France at the earliest possible mo- ment. It is believed that American troops are going into action soon and the Red Cross desires to have all pos sible supplies ready so that the wound

 Local members of the Red Gross have expressed the desire that greater interest be taken in the work here. It is pointed out that Red Cross chap ters in all parts of the country are do- ing much in the campaign to ade- ouately care for the American soldiers and sailors, while there is said to be a lack of enthusiasm in the Kingman organization.
 Women in various cities are drop ping their personal affairs and have taken up Red Cross work with an en- thusiasm never before equalled. Club and social events have been abandon ed. They realize the seriousness ot the situation and are anxious to help the nation in whatever way they can They are demonstrating the proper spirit of cooperation with the nation and are displaying patriotic zeal in rendering all the assistance they can
 Kingman men and women in the past have shown their loyalty and pat riotism and in the hour of peril that now hangs over the nation, they should appreciate the situation and get into the war game.
