'Tis a Pleasure to
 Live in Kingman
(FrOm Saturdays Daily Miner)

Many people in Kingman have the impression that it has really been hot the past week or more. In reality the heat has not been as great as in the towns of California. Pasadena, San Bernardino, Cotton, Bakersfield, Fres- no, and in fact Los Angeles have reg istered a higher thermometer than Kingman, the hottest day here being no last Saturday, when the same day the weather bureau in the California towns gave the maximum temperature as high as 120. Los Angeles ranged up to 113, San Francisco 105 and the osser places still higher. No town has cinch on the heat waves. Yester- days report showed maximum tenn perature of 9S degrees in Kingman.

No Card No ''Pill" and Customer Is
 Routed by Clerk

Let's see your registration card, {" replied the clerk at a local tobacco dispensary yesterday when a youth whose beard was not of the hard and jointed veriety asked for a package of cigarettes. Right then and there said clerk lost a customer, but at the same time he saved himself a good, stiff fine and perhaps a term in pri- son. The new cigarette law prohibits the sale of "joy pills" to all minors.
 The young man when asked his age nonchalantly replied, Past 22." He didn't look the part and the sagacious clerk dealt his would-be customer a tion card. For he knew that if the young man really were of age he young man really were of az he would be able to produce a card show ing that he had registered for mill tary service under the selective draft last June 5.
 Other clerks doubtless will have lit tie difficulty in determining the ages of some of their purchasers by the same method. All that is required is to say, Lets see your registration card"

MINER DROPS DEAD OF HEART FAILURE;
 SPANISH WAR YET
CFrom Saturdays Daily Minerl

William Gatly, a miner, who has been employed in the Lost Basin coun- try for some time past, was found dead in the Old Trails bar last eve ming. He had evidently been drink ing heavily for several days since con- ing in from the mine, and it is thought that this superinduced a stroke of heart failure.
 He is supposed to have been a na- tive of Boston, Mass, although no pa pers of any sort could be found on his person or effects. He is also known to have been a veteran of the Spanish American war and saw service in the Philippines.
 An autopsy and inquest will be held today to determine the cause of death.

RICH DISCOVERY MADE ON BILLIE
 MACK PROPERTY

PARKER, Ariz., June 19-(SpeciaD What promises to be one of the most important discoveries ever made in the Parker district was recently en- countered on the estate of the Billie Mack Mining company. The new dis covery has been named the "J- B." vein, and is located on the west slope of what is known as Billie Mack hill, about 1000 feet south of the main shaft and works. MT. Rossman, con sulting engineer of the company, un- covered the vein at a point 50 feet above the road and about 250 feet below the crest of the hill, and almost directly below the so-called Mexican tunnel. The trend of the vein is north and south, with a slight varia- tion to the east, and the dip is 12 degrees to the west.
 About 200 sacks of high grade gold and copper ore have already been talk en from a shallow shaft, about ten feet in depth, which has been sunk on this new vein. At this depth the vein is ten feet wide, and lies between two perfect walls. Seven feet of the ore is high grade, numerous assays showing 4, 512 and 6 ounces in gold per ton, besides high grade copper values.
 The shaft now being sunk on the high grade ore body is seven feet in width, and will be sunk to a depth of 50 feet When this point is reached Q north drift will be run on the rich ore shoot for about 15O feet, where the drift will be turned west to come out in the canyon on a level with the road. If the big vein continues as it now promises, at this point the com pany will establish the main develop ment shaft on the old Billie Mack hill, in addition to following the vein by drifting both north and south.
 The high grade ore from the new discovery is being hauled into Parker for shipment to the shelter.

PHOENIX, June 22. (SpeciaD. - The man convicted of bootlegging in this state will have before him the cer- tain prospect of serving out his sen tence in full. It will be useless for his friends to seek to secure executive re- lief for that will not be granted un- less it appears that injustice has been done the convict in the first instance or unless it is shown that his case has been attended by extraordinary circumstances.
 The following letter by Governor Campbell to Curt W. Miller, secretary of the board of pardons and paroles, indicates an understanding between the governor and the board with re- spect to applications for leniency for convicted bootleggers:
 Dear MT. Miller:
 I beg to confirm conversation held with you and Hon. Wiley E. Jones, re- garding violators of the constitutional amendment and statutes, governing prohibition in Arizona, and would re- spectfully draw your early and thoughtful attention to the increasing and unnecessary drain upon your val uable time and that of this office, al- ready harrassed by unusual and un- expected calls, involved in the consid- eration of petitions and appeals of ''bootleggers," their friends and sym pathizers.
 The citizens and residents of Ari- zona, generally, do not expect that clemency shall be exercised in such cases, except in very rare instances wherein justice plainly appears to have niscarried or extenuating cir cumstances appear, whereby such in terference is demanded.
 Violators of the prohibition laws de- serve no pity or sympathy. They en- gage in this unlawful practice because of the huge profits offered by the same. To insure these gains, they re- sort to cunning and resourcefulness of a degree that stamps them as po- tential criminals, destined to be a menace to our social and political fab ric.
 When these men and women become entangled in the meshes of the law, they immediately begin to cast about for an excuse to draw to their. cases the sympathy of orderly and law-abid-

SANFORD GETS RICH
 ORE IN GOLD BASIN

Jack Sanford recently brought into Blackberry some picture rock from the Gold Basin section that was a feast for the eyes. The ore is filled with large nuggets of gold and Jack says that there is more of it, an dhe will return there shortly to work the claim further. This end of the county is noted for it's high grade, and it will be only a question of time until some one will find the mother lode and make the greatest of all.

MEXICAN BELIEVED
 INSANE TAKEN INTO
 CUSTODY BY SHERIFF

Sheriff Cohenour and Deputy Char les linus responded to a call from Me ConnicO yesterday, stating that there was a crazy man at that place, and they returned to town with Antonio Gonzales, a half-breed Mexican. He had been trying to purchase bullets "enough to kill all of the Americans that he could fnd," when the operator there became frightened at his ac- tions and notified the sheriff's office. He admitted his mind is not right and told the officers that he would be glad to enter a hospital and receive treat ment, as he was not sure but that he might become violent some time and injure some one.

AMUNDSEN GETS OUT BEFORE
 IT'S DAYLIGHT ID PLAY GOLF
NickeII and Grunnger Play Just Like BrOther-inaws- Each Accuses Other of Frame-up; But at That It's Fine Game Just the Same.
From Tuesday's Daily Miner,


 The heat did not prevent local golf enthusiasts Sunday from enjoying a round on the links north of town. Four members of the newly organized club were out early in the morning and played nine holes before the day be- came too warm. Amundsen was out so early, according to the story told by his friends yesterday, that he had to wait some time for it to get light enough to play.
 The foursome, played by Amundsen, Nickell, Gruninger and Griffin, was without special feature except the rivalry between Nickell and Grun- inger. At times, this was keen, Gruninger taking one hole and Nickell another. Gruninger complained that Nickell framed up" on him about the

LOS ANGELES BOOZE

 DON'T MIX VERY WELL
CFrom Saturdays Daily Miner)

Henry Haley, ,Wno was Iounu Wan- dering around the Wallapai valley several nights ago and placed in the county jail on suspicion of insanity, was released from custody yesterday. It appears that Haley had been drink ing around Los Angeles before coming out here to work on the grading near Louise, and being without liquor to sober up on, together with the ex- cessive heat of the past week, he was driven into a delirium. After a few days rest and some treatment he re- covered, and has returned to his work at the camp east of town.

ORE FOUND ON MIDDLE GOLCORDA;
 EXPECT BIG RESULTS

The strike of silver ore in the Mid dle Golconda is more extensive than at first reported, the drift now being in eight feet of the high grade. The ore is said to have an average value of 60 ounces silver and a small amount of gold. The tunnel has been driven to the point of intersection of the vein and drifting has been carried on to the south, where the larger body of ore has been opened. This ore is of great significance in the property, as all the large bodies in other parts of the vein has been high in zinc and lead.
 The Middle Golconda has been fast assuming the bonanza proportions, and with the driving of the tunnel to the other wall of the vein and the open ing up of that part of the mine there will be enough ore in sight to keep great milling plant in operation for years. Mining men who have looked the property over believe it to be one of the great lead-zinc mines of the state.
 It is under the management of Char les B. Bell, an old Colorado mining operator. MT. Bell has gotten big re- suits from the expenditure of a small amount of money on the property, and feels that with a milling plant he can take out enough money not only to further exploit the mine at depth, but also to pay dividends.

Remnant and Bride
 BackFrom Canyon

Edward H. Tennant and bride re- turned last evening from the Grand Canyon where they spent a short honeymoon. The young folks were foxy enough to slip in after night at a late hour but members of the younger set are waiting for them and very likely the early shades of even tide will bring forth the musical chimes of the tincans to let them know that they cannot escape the blessings of the charivari.

clubs. All of Gruninger's clubs have not arrived and he had been using some of NickelTs. There was one to which he took a special fondness and with which he obtained some terrific drives. This was not altogether to Nickell's liking, according to Grun- finger, who claimed Nickell refused to let him play with his favOrite club Sunday, and consequently he says his score was materially cut down.
 Amundsen had the misfortune of playing much of his game in the rough.
 Following were the scores:
 Nickell-72.
 Amundsen-80.
 Gruninger-65.
 Griffn-56.
