Musical Director in bringing it to the high
standard it has attained.
The second number, a song-"You
Brought Ireland Right Over to Me-
sung by Mr.. D. was we'll rendered and
judging from the applause was greatly APP
preciated by the audience. Mr.. D. is fine
singer and much credit is due him.
Mr. LIS paper on the Evolution of
Moral Law was we'll presented and greatly
appreciated by the visitors. Mr.. L. show
ed an aptitude for submitting logical rea-
sons why this very much desired condition
should be and will be realized. Mr.. L.
deserves much credit for the masterful way
he presented his paper.
Mr.. WIS Trombone solo was up to his
high standard of proficiency in that line and
was greatly enjoyed by the visitors. Mr..
w. is past master in the art of producing
music from trombone, in fact he can make
it do anything but talk.
The President then intr oduced Judge
Wilson of Saltwater, who gave us short
talk on the Red Cross and its work which
was greatly appreciated by every one. Mr..
Wilson is fluent speaker and we are glad
to know that the Red Cross organization
has such a strong, influential supporter as
the Honorable Judge Wilson. With only
such loyal and whole hearted support can it
ever expect to reach the goal that it has set
for.
A song: Indiana" by Mr.. D., was
next on the program-and he did himself
proud and deserves much praise and credit
for the masterful way he sang it, which was
greatly appreciated by every one.
The next number, paper:-"T obacco;
Its Production" by Mr.. F., was delivered
in his customary excellent manner and
brought forth prolonged applause from the
audience at its conclusion.
Trombone duet by Messrs. Mex. and w.,
which was up to the high standard of those
two proficient musicians and the audience
did not have to stretch their Imagination to
realize that Messrs. NICK. and w. were
past masters in their line.
The next number-s'Patriotic America"
by M. B. was gem in its line, and was
delivered in such direct from the shoulder
fashion, that it all but took the audience off
their feet, and judging from the enthusiastic
applause that greeted the speaker at its con-
clusion, was conclusive proof that patriotism
burns in the hearts of Americans more now
than ever before. Mr.. B. is to be congratu-
lated on his most excellent paper.
Mr.. BIS song: "My Rosary for You,"
was sung in his customary talented manner,
and was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by
everyone present. Mr.. B. is fine singer,
and we can easily expect rare treat when
Mr.. B. is down for a number on any of our
programs.
One of the most successful meetings of
the Pierian Circle was brought to close by
singing the National Anthem, the audience
joining in.
The members of the Pierian Circle wish
to extend thanks to the officials for their
support and cooperation pertaining to the
uplift and help of the circle, and to the
many friends who attended our Quarterly
meeting, and assure them that we appreciate
their presence very much. And last but
not least, do we thank the Musical Director
for his help and assistance in the preparation
of our meetings.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
thank Thee God, that have mastered grief
l thank Thee for Thy truth as it appears,
Through it's great light I've banished disbeliefs
And I've forgotten tears. -
thank Thee that may-in my disgrace
Upon trail the world has marked defeat
Make some neglected spot holy place;
By showing life is sweet.
Charge 'gainst my the things left undone!
The years that have squan dered and l-spent!
But may feel Thee saying, O. My Son!
l weigh the good intent.
l thank Thee for the newer glimpse of right;
Knowing love is here love ia everywhere;
Write failure if You must, but also write
He still can say prayer.

STOCK DRIVEWAYS CAUSE
 LAND WITHDRAWALS

Under the act of congress known as the stock raising act, a clause provides for stock driveways across the coun- try. The commissioner of the gen eral land office has proposed to settle the controversy that arose over the purpose of the act by hearing all in- terests concerned and to make thor ough investigation before laying out such driveways. So far only one driveway has been withdrawn from en- try, and that embraces sections across the north part of Arizona, from the New Mexico line. Sections are to com nose the width of the driveway, which will enable sheepmen to herd their flocks across the country without dan ger of trespassing on the demesne ot local cattle or sheep owners. Just how it will effect the lands of the Santa Fe Railroad company has not yet been ascertained.

SURVEY OF GRANT LANDS
 IN INDIAN RESERVATION

The Land Service Bulletin, issued by the department of the interior states that steps are being taken to secure the survey and subdivision of that portion of the Wallapai Indian reservation within the granted limits of the Santa Fe railroad. It is un- derstood that the work will be com menced some time next spring.
 The grant lands of the Santa Fe embraces every odd section in the Wallapai Indian reservation and should these lands be confirmed to the company it will create a schism be- tween the government and the rail road on account of the fencing of the whole reservation area by the Indian department. Cattle have been brought and placed on the lands by the agent of the Indians, with a view of mak- ing the tribe self supporting. Should the railroad lease the lands to individ- uals it would force each and every sec tion to be fenced, giving neither the government or the individual much chance for grazing. In the matter of the railroad grant lands in part of the Navajo reservation lieu lands were taken by the railroad, but as the reser- vation lands are of small value it is possible that no such action will be taken.

Martin H. Hamilton, who returned a felwdays ago from the Las Vegas, Nevada, country, reports that the owners of the manganese mines in Ve- gaS Wash, sixteen miles east of that town, is shipping an immense tonnage of manganese dioxide to Pittsburg. The deposit is reported to be one Of the most wonderful ever discovered, beinggin flat seam from 500 to 800 feet thick. It is so soft that 1t can be cut out with axes and then broken into size suitable for handling. The owners are getting S75 per ton f. O. b. the Clark road.
 Mr. Hamilton also brought back with him, specimens of magnesium from a claim owned by himself and others, situated out toward Good Spring.

DEMAND IS GREAT
 FOR SULPHURIC ACID

While many plants throughout the United States have been manufactur- ing sulphuric acid the demand is now so great that orders cannot be filled, although every big manufactory is be- ing operated to it's full capacity. Sew eral new plants are now being erected and will soon be sending out its quota. At Douglas the Calumet and Arizona company is adding a sulphuric acid plant to its shelter, the output to be used in the treatment of the ores of the New Cornelia Copper company which has been running short of this acid.

COPPER DIVIDENDS

During the first eleven months of 1917 the copper mines of the United States paid dividends to the amount of $161 100000, being in excess of the largest dividend disbursement in the history of copper mining in the Unit ed States. As the dividends and extra dividends for the month of December are usuaiiy much higher than any other month m the year, we confident ly expect the shareholder appcrtiol- ment will reach ever $2OO,OOO,O0O.
 And yet some Fessimestic peopre are advocating the shutting down of the mines of the country because Of the tax on eXces: profits.

ARIZONA OIL COMPANY BRINGING IN WELL RIG

PHOENIX, Arfz., Dec. 1O.-A full standard rig and drill is now enroute for the Arizona Oil & Refining Com pany's property located in Chino Val ley, where the oil boom is under full sway. The drill is expected to arrive on the company's property and to be in full operation by the 16th of this month.
 E. A. Edwards, the noted geologist, who has been prominently identified with the vast development of the Cali fornia oil fields, will supervise the work of drilling on the Arizona Oil Company's property.
 The site of the initial drilling oper- ations has been carefully selected by Mir. Edwards and he is banking his reputation that the first drill will strike oil.
 The company states that the rig will be set up and the well drilled on section 35, which is the most favora- ble location situated with reference to the discovery well of the Chino Valley Oil Company, where oil sands were penetrated for no feet in the first discovery well.
 The drilling operations to be car ried on by the Arizona Oil & Refin- ing Company, will be watched with particular interest as there are a number of companies on the field who are about to start work. It will be a race for oil with tremendous results.
 The opening of this oil field in Ari- zona will mean the beginning of an oil boom only duplicated by the activities now prevailing in Wyoming where new millionaires are being turned out daily.
 With the interests in back of the Arizona Oil & Refining Company, and the treasury in strong condition, this company is in a position to carry on extensive operations, and it is a free prediction that they will not only strike oil, out will pave the way for hundreds of other companies that will operate in the field. Various oil ex- perts, including a noted official of the Standard Oil Company, have placed the stamp of approval on the Chino Valley field, and the great interest now being taken by the public means not only the opening of the new sec tion, which will add great prosperity to Arizona, but the discovery of oil in large paying quantities will relieve the shortage of oil.
 Doctor Etienne A. Ritter, whose first report on the Chino Valley section at- Itracted great attention, predicted that the field would receive recognition from the greatest experts in the coun- !try.
 On top of Doctor Ritter's statement E. Ronald Sager, an oil geologist of note, in reporting on the oil field made this startling statement:
 T wish to say that in my eXpe- rience covering nearly every oil field on this continent, have never seer Iany untested location that presented so many favorable features as the Chi mo Valley field"
 Geological conditions are correct grading ground is of large area. The existence of oil in Chino Valley fielC and the saturated rocks are conclusive evidence that there is oil"
 Such statements coming from mar of MT. Sager's knowledge, experience and reputation, have been the, mean: of attracting not only the investing public, but the big oil interests anC predictions are made that the Chine Valley will be to Arizona what tht Casper section is to Wyoming.

J. H. Moore, one of the owners of the Iowa and Lazy Boy mines, at Oat- man, was a Kingman visitor this week, having been called as a witness in the uperior Court. Mr. Moore is one of the pioneers of the Tom Reed section and has developed many mines in that camp that have made good, and he is still the owner of splendid mining property.
