WILL INVESTIGATE
 COUNTY OIL LANDS

4; party of Kingman men have dis patched a well known mining man to the oil fields in the north part of the county to make a thorough examina- tion of the oil bearing ground and if possible secure lands in the best part of the field. Lew Rothe and F. A. An dreas looked the field over some months ago and were of the opinion that a big district would be opened within the next year. Mir. Andreas has gone back to look over the whole ter ritoryl and secure some of the proper ty.
 The northern Mohave field extends into Utah, and it is possible that it will be found to be a continuation of the southerly trend of the Wyoming field. The elaterate deposits of Utah, which is nothing more than pure par affin, lies between the two fields. To the southwest is indication of oil, along the Muddy and Virgin valleys. The whole country shows seepages, especially in the broken anticlines around Virgin City, Utah. It is near that place that the first well was drill ed, which is capable of delivering about 20 barrels of asphaltum oil daily.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Many requests have been received for a simple digest of the govern ment's wonderful plan for saving ir small amounts, which will give every. one an opportunity of helping to wir the war. It is believed that the fol lowing statements will give the neces- sary information, fully, yet concisely:
 The savings stamps are in two de nominations, 25 cent thrift stamps and $5 war savings stamps.
 Both kinds of stamps may be bought at any postoffice, bank or oth- CT selling agency.
 With the first 25-cent thrift stamp purchased, a thrift card holding 16 stamps is given free of cost.
 When your thrift card is filled, you will have a total of S4.
 Add 12 cents to that amount in De- cember, 1917, or January, 1918, or one cent more each month thereafter, and any postoffice, bank or other selling agency will deliver you war savings stamp.
 The war savings stamps may be se- cured by the exchange of thrift stamps as above outlined, or may be pur-

INVESTIGATING NORTHERN
 RAILROAD ROUTE

Meridith Jones, brother of Howell Jones, of the Santa Fe railroad, pass ed through Kingman several days ago on his way to the Big Bend section, where he will investigate the possibil- it0 of big dam in the Colorado riv- CT and also a bridge site. It appears to be the intention of the Santa Fe to get northern outlet foE the Chlo- rlde branch of the railroad, and Mir. Jones will look into the feasibility of the project.
 A few years ago this route was looked up by the projectors of the, old Arizona & Utah railway now the Western Railway of Arizona (Chloride branch of the Santa Eel, and it was thought to be an entirely feasible route. In the event that it is built it would open up wonderfully mineral lzed country. The White Hills could be readily operated, and the big saIt and gypsum mines of the lower Virgin would be made available. In that sec tion are the most wonderfully pure salt mines in the world, the natural product being better than 99 per cent pure chloride of sodium. The country south of the river is overlaid with miles of pure gypsum. This gyp could be made of immense commercial use, as it would be right on the line of the proposed road. It would also be possible to reach the Utah smell ters by direct route, as well as the iron and coal mines. Later the timber belt of the north part of the state would come into being as a commercial pos sibility. At the present time timber cruisers have indicated that there are more than twenty billion feet of mer- chantable timber in the area of Mo have and Coconino counties, north of the river. Other useful minerals abound in the north part of the state and southern Utah, besides salt and gypsum, the mines showing large bodies of copper and silver ores. The distance from rail transportation makes the mining in that region very expensive, and railroad would make it possible to bring many of the dis tricts of great importance to the world of mining.
 It is to be hoped that Mir. Jones will find conditions responsive to the de- nands of railroad building.

The Arizona food administration has ascertained that lard to the amount of 48,0O0 pounds is used year ly in the manufacture of doughnuts in the state and that as the conservation of lard is a necessity the doughnut will have to go. It is said that Fred Harvey conceived the idea of making larger hole in the doughnut to save the pastry, but later rescinded the or der, having ascertained that it would require more dough to go around the hole. Now as a consequence of the in vestigation into the doughnut it is thought best to allow the hole to re- main, but to put no pastry around it.

WAR ACTIVITIES BY
 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The activities of the Geological Sur vey, Department of the Interior, dur ing the fiscal year 1916-17 have been concentrated on investigations con- nected with military and industrial preparedness, as shown by the annual report of the director of survey, just made public. These activities have in cluded the preparation of special re- ports for the War and Navy Depart ments and the Council of National De- fense, the making of military surveys, the printing of military maps and Photographic charts and the contri- button of engineer officers to the re- serve corps.
 The surveys investigations of min erals that have assumed special in- terest because of the war have been both expanded and made more inten- sive. Special reports giving results already at hand, the product of years of field and office investigation, have been published for the information of the general public or prepared for the immediate use of some official com mission, committee, or bureau. Geo logic field work has been concentrated on deposits of minerals that are es- sential to the successful prosecution of the war, especially those of which the domestic supply falls short Of present demands. Every available oil geologist is at work in petroleum re- gions where geologic exploration may lead to increased production. Other geologists are engaged in search for commercial deposits of the "war min erals"-manganese, pyrite platinum, Chromite, tungsten, antimony, potash, and nitrate.
 The war not only diverted practical ly all the activities of the topographic branch of the survey to work designed to meet the urgent needs of the War department for military surveys, but led to the commissioning of the ma jority of the topographers as reserve officers in the Corps of Engineers, United States Army.
 A large contribution to the military service is made by the map-prlntlng establishment of the survey. This plant has been available for both con fidential and urgent work, and during the year has printed 96 editions Of maps for the War Department and 9O6 editions of charts for the Navy De partment. Other Photographic work, some of it very complicated, was in progress at the end of the year.
 During the year the survey pub Iished 2O3 scientific and economic re- ports, and at the end of the year the survey members holding appointments from the secretary numbered 934, an increase of 62.

REMAIN FOR THE
 FOUR-MINUTE MEN

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 27.-The in troduction of the Four-Minute Men to the audiences of Arizona possibly has brought a new sense of true patriotism to people who before thought them selves patriotic. At least, they rose when the orchestra played a scrap of the Star Spangled Banner in a med ley in which the cheers went to Dixie
 Some of them got on their feet when Arizona was played-possibly most Of them did-and the Red, White and Blue was saluted at the last State Fair
 by the rising of the grandstand en- masse. They always clapped when the management threw on the screen a vividly-colored representation of the flag. Thus far, all is well-though the War Department insists that no honors should be paid the Star Span gled Banner if played otherwise than on a ceremonial occasion and in it's entirety. America should be honored only if the tune for the time stands for the British National anthem.
 Now, the next step lies with the au- diences that hurriedly start for the door in the intermission, just when the Four-Minute speaker steps on the movie theater stage. A lot of devot- ed and able men are offering their time and energy nightly all over Ari- zona that accurate and official infor- nation shall be taken direct to the peo- pie concerning a war in which slavery for their nation is threatened, behind the bulwark of the lives of millions of it's young men. Yet the average Four-Minute man is getting accus- toned to speaking to the backs of re- tiring hosts that have sat with inter- est through "Vampiring Vixen" or "The Horrors of Helen," till the reel flicker has warned them of the inevit- able end. Some audiences are doing better and remain for the four min utes to receive the patriotic message brought. So may it be with them all.

FROM GUARD TO-DAY
Public Buildings Hereafter Must Be
Watched Over BY Police and
Watchmen.

All guards will this morning be re-
moved from the Capitol square and
the building located therein, Governor
Stuart having issued orders to this ef-
feet yesterday The instructions were
contained in a letter written by the
executive TO Colonel John W. Richard
son, register of the land once.
In addition to the removal of guards
all the entrances to the Capitol build
ing and state library will be reopened
and kept as they were previous to
the placing of guards about the build
ing. The Capitol police have been eau
toned to exercise the greatest vigil
lance and prevent all suspicious-look
Ing persons from entering the grounds
and buildings All state buildings will
be closed at 8 o'clock, and persons
entering after that time must be state
officials, or have business which is con-
nected with the state government.
Strong guards were thrown around
the public buildings and points OF i'm
portance of the city when the declara-
ton of war with Germany was made
in the early part of April. Since that
time 1t has been strictly maintained.
but the calling of the national guard
into federal service today removes the
troops who have been on duty. All
guard duty will now be done by the
local police. The guard which Is now
being maintained at manufactures
will not be removed until the early
part of August.
