BISBEE MINES WILL

BISBEE, Ariz., June 1. (Special).- Two mining companies in Arizona this week made known plans for the ex- penditure of two million dollars for additional work. The Denn-Arizona will expend a million and a half of the total The United Verde Extension puts in half a million. Denn is con sidered a proven copper property. The matter now in hand is to further open its ore bodies. United Verde Exten- sion is a made copper mine, one of the most valuable on the continent and in some respects a phenomenal property. Its latest authorized expenditure of a half million will provide a haulage tunnel of the length of 13,5OO feet which will deliver its ores from the 300 level of the mine to the railroad crossing the valley below Jerome to the new smelter site of the Extension, where expenditures which will proba- ply total three million dollars are now under way in carrying out shelter and railroad construction.

J. 4. PHILLIPS DIES AT TOPOCK; SANTA FE

CFrOm Friday,. Daily Minerl

Information was obtained yesterday by representative of the Daily Miner of the death of J. A. Phillips at To- pock several months ago.
 Mir. Phillips had been the Santa Fe agent there for the past ten years or more, and had been taken to the Santa Fe hospital for treatment of some minor ailment short time pre- vious to his death, and after a brief stay there returned home to Topock much improved. He was stricken down, however, by heart disease with in a day or so after his return.
 Mir. Phillips came to Mohave county about 15 years ago from Michigan and entered the service of the Santa Fe here as operator, and after serv- ing the company for a year or more here and elsewhere on the desert di- visions he was placed at Topock as the agent, a place which he held to his death.
 He was a most genial, whole-souled person and numbered his friends by his number of acquaintances. He leaves a wife and several daughters to mourn his death.

ARRESTED FOR TAKING SUITCASE FROM TRAIN;
 LOOKING FOR BOOZE
tFrOm Fridays Daily Miner)

A complaint was made yesterday
 before the justice court charging
 Walter Clark with grand larceny. A warrant was issued and Clark is now in the custody of the sheriff awaiting
 examination. The complaint charges that Clark entered one of the tourist cars of No. 10 Sunday, May 20, and took suitcase belonging to Dr. G. L.. Terry, one of the passengers enroute to St. Louis. Clark is said to admit taking the suitcase. He claims that he took it while he was under the in- fluence of liquor, thinking it contained more liquor and after leaving the train he took the suitcase up the railroad track east of the depot and put it un- der a pile of ties.
 He says he then called two other men, whom he knew from a former residence in Kingman, to his cache to help him ascertain the contents of the package. Upon opening it they found that 1t contained nothing but some dental tools, clothing and some papers, none of which they maintained they had any use for, so it was up to them to get rid of it and this was done by one of the men taking it to the depot and putting it under one of the benches in the waiting room, which was the last they saw of it, according to their statements. It appears that the papers found in the suitcase were some personal papers belonging to Dr. Terry and a general search is being made to locate the suitcase, although up to the present time it has been futile. The preliminary examination will be held this afternoon at o'clock

alternating lever, thus insuring stabil- ity. After the bar passes the center, it remains in the position placed. It will not kick off when once set, the clutch fitting into a notch on the ratchet wheel. Hand brakes can be used in connection with the air on cars equipped with this dog, it is claimed by the inventor.
 "The diamond tension dog" said Mir. Wilson yesterday, twill prove boon to brakemen, switchmen and all others handling cars where it is nec- essary to use the hand brake. A large number of trainmen are killed annu- ally while applying the old hand brake because they are compelled to hold the dogs in use on most cars with one foot which places them in an awkward position if anything goes wrong. They are not in the proper balance and the usual result is that they fall and are either killed or crippled for life, which costs the railroad companies large amounts every year in damage suits"
 Discussing further the working of the dog, the inventor said: "It works just as effectively in one position as in another, either vertically, horizontally or inverted. It is just right for tun- nel brake, which is always placed against the end of the car. This is a menace to all trainmen, as those now in operation are so constructed that they require a contortionist to apply them effectively"
 It is claimed for the invention that it will fit any car or brake used by trainmen or street car motormen.

 Word was received in Kingman yes terday that Miss Altha Perry, popular daughter of Mir. and Mrs. J. E. Perry, was married in San Francisco last Wednesday, May g, to Clarence Pratt Curry, a well known young attorney of the coast metropolis. The announce ment came in telegram to Mir. and Mrs. George Brobant.
 The wedding was attended by the brides parents and intimate relatives and friends of the groom. Mrs. Perry had been with her daughter since the first of May, while Mir. Perry went to the coast about two weeks ago, to at tend the graduation of Miss Perry at Leland-Stanford, Jr. university. Miss Perry graduated from the law depart ment on May 21 and married two days later.
 The bride is well known in Kingman where she resided many years and at tended the local school. She finished the academic course at Stanford two or three years ago and then took a course in law.

The Her cules has been under the control of F. H. Craft for many years, a cor poration having been organized sev- eral years ago to carry on the work. The financing of the mines was found to be out of the possibilities at the time, and we are pleased to note that capital has now obtained control. The mines are all right and should be among the large producers of that sec tion.
Mohave County miner., 1917-06-02

A Kingman man has just broken into the limelight as an inventor. Albert Wilson, former Santa Fe brakeman, but lately employed by the Arizona Stores company, has received a patent for a new diamond tension brake dog and ratchet wheel. A com pany is to be organized for placing the invention on the market and if plans now contemplated are carried out, the invention will revolutionize the equipment now used on all kinds of brakes on trains and street cars.
 The invention is very simple and works automatically. It is claimed that handbrakes on cars will be made effective and more affcient and will work at all times, thus minimizing ac- cidents caused by failure of the or dinary brakes to work. Attorney Walter Stingley, who recently came to Kingman from San Francisco, has taken up the invention to place it be- fore the public. MT. Stingley asserts that the patent is the first ever issued covering the ratchet wheel and he an- nounces his intentions of starting pro ceedings throughout the United States to obtain royalties for use of the ratchet wheel. Millions of ratchet wheels are in use every day through out the country, but according to. MT. Wilson and MT. Stingley, no patent was ever issued on a ratchet wheel.
 The brake dog is so constructed that it works on a diamond-shaped bar which automatically opens and closses the lever on the ratchet wheel. The dog is placed between two parallel springs which fixes the position of the
