KINGMAN BOYS
 HEAR CALL OF
 NATION IN WAR

Kingman boys are responding to the call of their country. Not only have large number been taken by the draft and others enlisted in all
 branches of the service, but the young men continue to go. One man. Emory Emerson, of the Central Commercial company, enlisted in the navy at San Francisco last week, and two others, Irving Mulrain and Paul Hines, of the same company, left last Wednesday for San Francisco to enlist in the navy. Three other boys from the Cen tral expect to leave shortly after the first of December to enter the army and navy, making six to go from this one firm in less than a month. They are Paul Morton, Francis Blackburn and George Fauset. William Rich ards and Vernon Hubbs are ready to join the navy, the latter expecting to leave about December for the coast.
 ''The nation needs them, was the comment of one of the Central Com mercial company managers this week when the fact was pointed out that it looked as though "the Central will have to close shop" on account of the boys going to war. 'We can get along while Uncle Sam can't, he concluded.

MUST KEEP RECORD
 0F ALL EXPLOSIVES

Mining men in this section were thrown into a state of uncertainty this week following announcement that strict regulations governing sale of explosives had been put out. The new law providing for licensing every deal CT and handler of explosives went into effect November 15.
 J. Fl. Smith has been named the of ficial icenser of Mohave county. He received a telegram last Wednesday notifying him to authorize the local merchants to go ahead selling explo- siyes to legitimate users, so that they could continue business as usual, until forms and licenses were received.
 Every person who sells or handles explosives in any manner must have a license. The county recorder or some designated person has charge of is- suing licenses. As Recorder Under wood is busy with draft affairs, he delegated Justice Smith as icenser He received the following telegram from Director Manning of the U. S. bureau of mines:
 Instruct legitimate users of explo- sives to continue business as usual keeping records as required in law section g. Licenses and forms are be- ing sent to icensers as rapidly as pos sible."

FRISCO CAMP ONE OF
 BEST IN THE COUNTY

Last Sunday a miner representative had the pleasure of being shown through the new shaft of the Frisco mine, in the Union Pass Section. Sup eerintendent, Ray Dimick was the man on the job, as usual, and made us ac- quainted with all of the machinery and workings of this same shaft.
 A crosscut has been run to cut the ledge and at point within some thir- ty-five feet of it, the extra heavy flow of water encountered, has curtailed work at this point awaiting the arri- val of a motor, which will carry an- other pump. As soon as this pump is placed in commission to take care of the water, work will be rushed to cut this ledge.
 Much will depend on the future work on the cutting of this vein, but from the values found on the surface out croppings, nothing but favorable ex- pectation is held forth.
 This new shaft is one of the best pieces of work that has been our plea sure to inspect and it is equipped with thoroughly modern machinery and with the surface indications as they occur in that section, we can see noth- ing but prosperity for anyone who has the courage to maintain a con- sistent development of this property. While the Frisco Camp is one of the established camps of the county, hay ing been endowed with some years of age, 1t is also one of the incest small camps of the river range as well as having housed among its confines, some of the most pleasant and hos pitable persons of our acquaintance and it is our hope that we will be able to return soon.

ANNUAL ELKS LODGE IF SORROW
 WILL BE HELD SUNDAY DEC2

Kingman lodge No. 468, B. P. O. E., next Sunday, December 2, will honor the annual Lodge of Sorrow in mem ory of it's departed brothers. Eight members of the Kingman lodge have died since the last memorial day.
 The annual lodge of sorrow this year will reach out beyond the con fines of the United States and into the trenches of France. Wherever there is a lodge of Elks, memorial services will be held. Probably even in the trenches of France some kind of memorial ceremonies will be held.
 Death has claimed 56 members of the Elks' lodge in Kingman since it was established. Every year, fitting tribute is paid the departed brothers on the first Sunday of December.
 Memorial day this year has a deep CT significance than ever before for Elkdom. For soon thousands of the members of the great American fra ternal organization will be engaged in actual warfare. The list of absent brothers will grow undoubtedly.
 Hugh L. Dickson, of San Bernar- dino lodge, will deliver the Memorial address, and Paul c. Thorne will de- liver the eulogy. L. NJ. Teale, exalted ruler, will preside over the exercises, and will be assisted by the other off cers of the lodge.
 The following members of Kingman lodge have died since last Memorial day:

TOM REED NOW Is
 WORKING GOOD ORE

Judge George A. Shea was at Oat- man last Wednesday and was con- ducted through the Tom Reed mine. He was most agreeably surprised to find that on the lower level of the Aztec splendid body of ore had been opened up. Drifting to the west has been in ore for the 60 feet of distance run, the ore averaging about SPA in value and has a width in excess of the drift. It is thought that the big end of the ore body will be found still far ther west and the drift will be carried to the extreme west end. It now ap- pears that the Tom Reed has only scratched its ore bodies and that de- velopment now being carried on will open some of the best bodies of ore ever found in that property.

CASH AND CARRY
 HOME" PLAN ID BE
 LAUNCHED ON DEC.1

The "Cash and Carry Home" system will be inaugurated by the local stores next Saturday, December 1. On that date soliciting and delivering of all but the bulky articles will be in effect. And then only one delivery will be made the same day.
 The plan is in harmony with war economy which is sweeping the coun- try. The food administrations of the state and nation have urged all mer- chants to curtail their delivery sys- tenn in order that their business would be injured as little as possible be- cause of the heavy drain on the man power of the nation.
 Already scores of young men have gone from this community. In almost every store in town one or more men have gone to. the war. And still oth- CTS will be going. The merchants have realized that the only way to re- duce the price of foodstuffs and to avoid paralysis of business was to re- duce the cost of doing business.
 The people now are assured of a ma terial reduction in the price of food stuffs. One Kingman merchant fig ures that it costs an average of ten cents an article to maintain his pres ent delivery system.

SANTA FE ID
 SPEND 25,OOO ON LOCAL YARDS

Work on enlarging the local Santa Fe railroad yards will begin about Dec. 10, according to Superintendent A. J. Christie of Needles, who spent Thurs day here looking over the situation. Twenty-Five thousand dollars is to be expended on the local yards, the ca pacity of which will be practically doubled. Two extra tracks are to be built on the south side of the present yards, which also are to be extended at both ends. At present some diff culty is experienced at times in hand ling the trains, owing to the great amount of tonnage passing over the road.
 The work would have been started before this, Mr Christie said, but great difficulty is being experienced in obtaining track men. There is a great scarcity, he scid, duo to v-2r condi- tiOns and the recent regulations of the government in preventing immigra- tion of Mexican laborers into this country.
 Just what the war means to the railroads is shown by the fact that the Santa Fe, on the Arizona division, has lost S7 men who have either en- listed or been drafted. With this same ratio of depletion of the working forces of the roads, the places of thousands of men must be filled. In the clerical departments women are being used and they are proving val uable substitutes for the men, MT. Christie said.
 While here Mir. Christie looked over improvements to the Harvey house which are nearing completion and he was delighted with the progress of the work. The improvements at the Har- vey house will soon be finished, as the new dining room already is in use while a new concrete floor is being put in in the old part of the build ing.

MOHAVE COUNTY BUY KILLED ON
 BATTLE FRONT

Fired by the news of the death of his brother with the American soldiers in France, George Reber rushed back to San Francisco this week to leave at once with a contingent for the battle front. Young Reber, a soldier of the regular army, who has been on fur tough visiting his relatives at Chlo- ride, received a telegram Wednesday announcing the death of his brother, Oswald, among the first American cas- ualty list. The same day he received a telegram summoning him back to the colors to go with a contingent now ready to entrain for an eastern embarkation point
 q want to get into action, said young Reber as he was boarding the train yesterday afternoon. He seemed greatly affected by the news of his brothers death, but appeared very ea- ger to be in the service again. He had served four years with the army and was extended a sixmonths fur tough.
 Oswald Reber, who was killed in France, enlisted from San Francisco, although he lived in this county and can properly be considered the first Mohave boy to give his life for his country in the present war.

SHORTY HALL SENT ID
 SAN FRANCISCO OFFICE

J. Lloyd Hall, who has been con nected with the Western Union Tele- graph company of this city for the past several years, this week received an appointment promoting him to the traffic department of that company in their offices in San Francisco. Mir. Hall is at present on a short vacation to Los Angeles, but will leave there soon for San Francisco to take up his new work.
 During his connection with this company here, Mir. Hall has made scores of friends who will deeply re- gret to know that he has left our section and who hope that it may be possible that sometime we may be able again to have Shorty" with us.
 l. J. Whitney has succeeded to the position of manager and that we will receive an efficient management un- der his direction, goes without say ing.

Recover Big Mine
 After LetigatiOn

Last Monday another phase of the litigation over the ownership and pos session of the Great Canyon mine was tried out in the superior court, the de- fendants giving notice of appeal from the judgment and moving for stay of execution. After hearing the argu- ment the court refused to grant the application of the defendants and or dered the issuance of a writ of restitu- tiOn- Tuesday plaintiff was placed in possession of the property, which in cludes the mill and camp buildings ad- judged to be upon the premises of the Great Canyon mine. It is now proba- ble that this mine will be operated by strong company, the mines being among the big molybdenite properties of that section of the county.

SMASHED
 BACK IN BIG DRIVE

The biggest drive yet under taken by the entente allies was carried out on the western front in France this week. Field Mar shal Haig early Wednesday mOrn- ing launched a terrific attack along a 25-mile front, succeeding in driving the Germans back for a distance of several miles and capturing more than 10000 pris- Oners. The Germans were taken completely by surprise, as the at- tack was not preceded by the usual heavy artillery fire and bar rage. The Germans admit having been wOrsted in the engagement that was in progress throughout the latter part of the week.

NOW IS

 ID WAR CONDITION
Seven dollars a quartl And now the high cost of drinking

seven uOlldTS QudTI!
 And now the high cost of drinking has hit us.
 For the precious and near-precious joy-juice has scared to the above-men- tioned price.
 First, we had prohibition, or was supposed to have it. Now the price has gone up and most of us will have to cut it out altogether. With food stuffs soaring, war prices and what not, MT. Bootlegger decided that he had just as well "get his" while the "gettin' was good. Six hundred per cent profit may have been a trifle more than the average dealer is get ting in these war times, but one diff ference is, MT. Bootlegger is in jail. He may have gotten there because of his immense profits-as the result of being a 'profiteer," for "profiteer" he certainly was-but the sheriff's office has different story to tell.
 In other wards, Pat Noonen now is held in the county jail on a charge of bootlegging. He was arrested last Thursday, as the result of having sold one quart of whiskey for ST. The money was marked the sheriff's office says.

MAJOR WRIGHT OFFERS
 SERVICES ID NATION

J. B. Wright, the well known engi- neer of Kingman, has just returned from an extended trip that took him to Phoenix, Denver and other eastern points for the purpose of enlisting for war services. Mir. Wright is a former military man. He was desi- rous of offering his services to the government, and went to considera- gle trouble and expense. He was just over the age limit, but says it is high ly probable that he will yet be able to get into the service. He was told that the matter would betaken up with the war department and that he might expect to hear definitely in the near future.

Leviathan Men
 Sell Concentrates

S. E. Hollister, superintendent of the Leviathan Mines company, arrived a few days ago from Los Angeles, where he and Theodore Hollister, president of the company, entered in to new contracts for the sale of the mill product. About twenty bids were received by the company and it is un- derstoOd that big price was obtained for all the concentrates that the will will produce. The mill is now running full time and making an excellent grade of molybdenite concentrate.

 SAGE TO THE PUBLIC

The time has come when men and women of means can no longer satisfy their consciences by giving only DOT tion of their incomes to the great causes indispensable to our govern ment in the prosecution of the war. All the incomes left after paying liv- ing expenses and taxes must go, and in addition safe deposit boxes must be opened and big slices cut into the principal.

SALOONSsABOLISHED
 BY LOS ANGELES VOTE

In a city election last Tuesday, Los Angeles abolished open sa- looms by a majority of about 20,- 900 votes. A city ordinance pro viding for closing saloons was adopted. Cafes, restaurants and hotels may continue the sale of intOxicants, however. The drys consider the election a great vic- tory for their cause, predicting that it is but a question of time until the sale of liquor at any place will be prohibited. The sa- looms must close March 31, 1918.
