LWW. OBEY MARCHING ORDERS GIVEN BY SHERIFF COHENOUR;
 STRIKE MENACE DISAPPEARS
SITUATION CLEARS UP AT VARIOUS CAMPS IN THE COUNTY; NO FURTHER TROUBLE NOW IS FEARED AS AUTHORITIES PUT LID ON AGI- TATION.
(FrUm Thursdays Daily Miuer)

The lure of the road was strong with Industrial Workers of the World in Kingman last night. In fact, the spell had not entirely passed today, and one by one the aggregation of 62 that dropped in on Kingman yesterday morning was slowly vanishing. The marching orders" were given by Sheriff Cohenour and Judge Ellis yes terday.
 Very few of the band were left in this vicinity today. Several reported to have gone to Chloride, contrary to the sheriff's orders, and few others had scattered to other mining camps. 0stensibIy, they were in search of work. It is said that there is little likelihood of any trouble arising, as the miners and operators have taken steps to offset any attempt to stir up trouble.
 The threatened labor strife in this district, brought on by Industrial Workers of the World organizers com ing here last week, was believed to

INDIANS HOME
 DESTROYED BY LIGHTNING BOLT
Summer Shower General About Kingman, Accom- panied By Electrical
 Storm; House Struck and
 Wires Out of Commission.
[FrOm Wednesdays Daily Minerl


 Kingman and vicinity were visited late yesterday afternoon by a most welcome shower. It could hardly be called rain, for it little more than laid the dust. The temperature drop ped several degrees as the result of the refreshing shower. The storm was accompanied by considerable lightning, which struck and destroyed an Indian cabin on the hill south of town. The cabin belonged to Samson Hunter, and was a total loss. In the cabin was a large number of Indian blankets and other valuables. It is estimated that the loss was $500 or more. Luckily, Hunter was not at home and the cabin was locked. Several Indians nearby were stunned by the bolt. They were even more excited by the workings of the Great Spirit than injured, how ever.
 Sampson and wife had gone to the mountains about two hours prior to the fire. This house was one of the best situated of all the Indian houses in the town, being fitted up with blan- kets and rugs, good beds, a sewing photograph, etc.
 During the storm the home of Pete Vukoye was struck by lightning, a hole being torn through the shingles on the roof, but fortunately no other damage was done.
 Lightning also put the power lines around certain parts of the town out of commission, but repairs were car ried on late into the night and today all lines are working. Telephone poles were struck and many destroyed.
 The storm was of the usual summer variety, the lightning being brilliant and freakish.

GUARDS
 PROTECT TOWN
 FROM INVASION
Patrol Business Destrict to Keep I. w. w. Moving and See That There Are No
 Arguments or Disturbance es; City Proud of Boys" "
From Friday,s Daily MinsrN

With no hope of advancement or financial remuneration, 40 Kingman men dropped their work early We'd nesday morning and for two days and nights ungrudgingly and uncomplain- ingly gave their time to patroling the streets and keeping order and peace. When the 62 Industrial Workers of the World arrived at o'clock Wednesday morning, all the active members of the Guard were called out. They were mobilized under command of Capt. C.. R. Franklin within a short time and took charge of the situation.
 Sworn in as deputy sheriffs, they guarded the prisoners until the latter were ordered to leave the city, and then the Guard saw that they were kept moving and that there were no arguments or disturbances on the streets. The I. W. W. repeatedly were forced to "move on" and gradually the number diminished until few were left in town. The Guard patrolled the down town district throughout the night, in two hour shifts, with four men and an officer on duty.
 The people of Kingman feel proud of the Home Guards. It is an aggre- gation of men and boys and can be justly called "Kingman's Own" It is made up of every class, county off cials, professional men, business men, clerks and others.
 Those who did patrol duty Wednes- day, Wednesday night and last night were:
 Capt. G. R. Franklin, First Lieut.. J. B. Wright, Second Lieut.. George Fawcet, Inspector Fred Blodgett, Le- Roy Adams, A. Alger, R. L. Anderson, L. H. Baldwin, - Bedwell, J. H.

CLOSE NORTH SEA WITH NETS IS PLAN
 IF J. B. WALKER
CFrom Thursdays Daily Miner)

A recent number of the Scientific American contains the elaboration by J. Bernard Walker of the plan for blockading submarine bases by the use of steel nets. Mir. Walker believes it practicable to stretch nets across the eastern entrance to the Channel and across the North sea from Scot land to Norway, thus penning the German submersibles within that area. Though task so gigantic would cost in the neighborhood of 50 million dollars, the writer points out that the figure "is less than the total value of ships and cargo sunk by the sub marines in a single week of the pres ent campaign"
 Mir. Walker submits a drawing which clearly explains the general features of the scheme. The net itself consists of a vertical mesh anchored on both sides by mushroom anchors attached to steel cables. The top of the net is two hundred feet below the surface and the mesh, constructed from commercial F inch steel rods, is ten feet, it's buoyancy assured by the use of buoyant, spherical contact bombs of a special type, containing twenty pounds of TINT, each. These bombs are fastened to the net at in tervals of twenty feet over the sur face of the mesh, the net thus con- stituting bomb curtain.
 One mile inside the net and parallel to it stretches a continuous cable an chored at intervals, allowing plenty of slack. To this cable are attacher mines calculated to destroy any large enemy vessels which might attempt to rush the net and cut it. In addition to this defense, Mir. Walker plans a well or ganized patrol system of destroyers, motor boats and airplanes. To supply the air and water craft great mother ships, consisting of converted tramp steamers are anchored along the line at intervals of fifty miles. Each has nets to protect it from torpedo attack, and masts and superstructure are cut away and replaced by great plat form to provide a landing stage for the air craft.
 "A similar net" MT. Walker adds, "at Gibraltar and at the Straits of Otranto (the mouth of the Adriatic) would effectively block the submarine bases of Germany's allies"

have passed, but the authorities were not relaxing their hold on the situa- tion. Any move in the direction of creating trouble will be severely dealt with, the authorities say. The miners and citizens themselves have declared their intention of preventing a situa- tion such as that at Jerome, Bisbee, Miami and Globe. The miners say they are satisfied with wages and working conditions and have no reason to heed the solicitations of the trouble-makers. They consider the agitation of the I. W. W. leaders as part of the German campaign to cripple the mining in dustry in this country and thereby handicap the nation in the war.
 The GoIcOnda mine is working with full shifts, it was stated today, and it was not believed there would be any further trouble The few agitators in that district are under the surveillance of the authorities, who announce that no leniency will be shown if they un- dertake to start anything.

Three mining reports just complet- ed by R. S. Billings, mining and metal lurgical engineer of Kingman, for W. D. Grannis and Frank Gibbons, cover ing, respectively, the Copper Taylor and the Great Republic groups of mines, and the Acme Molybdenite Mines company holdings, treat ex- haustively the molybdenite mineraliz- ation of Mohave county. The reports are most elaborate and complete, MT. Billings being assisted by S. E. Guth- rie, mining engineer, who made the maps and pictures. The latter, which were finished in California, are most artistic.
 These reports are interlarded with the claim maps horizontal and vertical sections and proposed developments, and are prefaced by what Mir. Billings terms as a Skeleton Text Book" on molybdenite compiled from the writ ings from 25 of the noted authorities on rare metals and the molybdenum family in particular, and being in this form they really ought to be printed for the benefit of the miner and pros pector.
 Part of the explanatory letter pre- facing these reports reads: Hence the prefaced notes to my mining re- port emphasizing the discovery, home, history, character, use, treatment and marketing of molybdenite ores"
 What is of particular and vital in terest to mining circles in Mohave couty is the position taken by this engineer, who after a study of the geological and mineralogical .condi- tions and after conference with the To- cal owners and operators, gives it as his opinion that the molybdenite mines 'Uf this county are going to be found in the disseminated altered granites and not in the quartz veins. The lat ter coming up through the deep-seated granite rocks have served their pur- pose as what he terms focal carriers" by bringing with them to the surface in vugs and cracks of the quartz and in the gouge of the veins, the molyb- denite which appears in globules and blotches and in the gangue and vein filling in both of these properties men tioned above, as it is also beginning to make it's appearance in the same

SMUGGLER MINE HITS GREAT ORE
CFrom Thursdays Daily Miner)


 James Beauchamp, one of the own CTS of the Smuggler group of mines, was in Kingman yesterday and ex- hibited some of the richest specimens of gold ore that have been seen here in many years. Some of the pieces were almost pure nuggets of gold, while the larger ones were heavy in iron and gold. MT. Beauchamp reports that the ore is being taken from a winze that is being sunk below the tunnel level of the property. The streak is about IS inches wide and averages over $500 as broken down.
 The Smuggler group is situated west of the Golconda, in Union Basin, and in an ideal spot on the mountain side, and has been opened to a con siderable depth by tunnel and raises. A large tonnage of rich gold ore has been shipped from the property in the past several years. It is owned by James Dundon and James Beauchamp.

the Indian perils of the early days and who helped reclaim this region from the handicaps of nature and man are constrained from drastic action only by the counsel of cooler heads.
 Citizens leagues to protect life and property in the Globe, Bisbee and Jerome districts have been formed and there has been considerable talk of organizing such bodies of. citizens in this district. The county authorities, however, say that reports from all camps arc reassuring and that so far there is no indication of an outbreak between the agitators and the miners and citizens.
 There has been a steady influx of agitators, according to officials, in the last few days. They have come in quietly and gone out to the mining districts.
