SUPREME COURT DECLARES HUNT TO BE GOVERNOR
M 'CRACKEN MINE
 OPENS BIG ORE BODY

The McCracken mine is coming in
 to its own, one of the big financiers
 of the country having taken it over
 and is now engaged in getting it in
 shape for production. Along the old drifts on the 14O level crosscuts have
 been driven through the ore and the
 report is that the vein is eight feet wide and carries S60 in silver-lead values. In other parts of the mine rich ore has been found and new work is developing greater and greater ore bodies. General Manager Rudisin be- heves that the property will eventually go into copper, as the lower workings show more and more of the red metal.
 The McCracken mine was discovered in the seventies by H. W. Owen and Jackson McCracken. The vein was i'm mense and the ore ran from S6O to $500 to tie ton in silver. The Bridal Chamber, struck in the tunnel on the vein, was one of the richest deposits of silver ore ever opened in the ter I AGoAg EADOhG lAlAo IullllCl lGNGl IllUIE than S4,000,000 was taken without de- pleting the ore reserves. Lying along the dry ores was big vein of lead, thousands of tons of which was milled at Signal and shipped to the shelters Owing to the fact that the ore had to be hauled nine miles to the mill and the concentrates then hauled more than 70 miles to the railroad, it was found unprofitable milling. The ex- pense of haulage was large and mill tated against the success of treating | the low grades, which havd been left in the mine and are now available for l a milling plant that is to soon be erected on the property. Cheaper hauls by trucks over good roads will make possible the shipment of ores and concentrates to the smelters.
 The company is at present engaged | in the building of a line of road to connect with the road to Yucca, cut ting the distance largely and making an even grade all the way to the rail road.

HURIN CONFIRMS TENNESSEESALE
 ID SCHUYLKILL

That the Schuylkill has obtained firm control of the Tennessee mine is evidenced by the fact that it's super intendent now is in charge of that property. The Needles Mining and Smelling company is removing part of the old machinery to the Gold Road, but it fs probable that some of the necessary part of the plant will re- main as a nucleus for the new and more modern plant that the Schuyllxill peOpla contemplate placing upon the property.
 This week James H. Hurin, secre- tary-treasurer of the old Wallapai De- vefopment company, owners of the Tennessee, was at the mine arranging for it's transfer to the new company. It is understood that large payment has been made on the property and other payments are to be made during the next two years. MT. Hurin was at tha head of the old company when the mine first passed to the Needles Mining and Smelling company and is still in control. He reports that the mine is looking just as good as it ever did, having an immense tonnage of good grade lead-zinc ore in sight in all faces and thousands of tons in the stopes.
 The drifts of the Tennessee are close to the line of the Schuylkill and can be driven into the latter ground with little effort. As the shaft on the former property is down 1900 feet it will give the SchuyllxilI close to 1900 feet of backs above the lowest level, and through practically virgin ground. As it is the belief of the Miner edi- tor that the Tennessee and Schuylkill are separate and distinct veins we feel sure that something great will be found when these drifts are run into the ore bearing ground of the Schuyl- kill property. Ore lenzes lie side by side in all the veins of the Wallapai district, and we might say, the veins of the whole country, and as the Schuylkill has an excellent ore body in it's openings there is every pros pect of another ore body in the other vein that will open the eyes of the public.
 The fact that the Tennessee is to continue operations is of great mo- ment to the people of not only Chlo- ride, but to all Mohave county.

WRIGLEY SULPHIDE
 DRIFTING ON 300

The drift from the 300 level of the Wrigley Sulphide is being driven along in good ore. A streak of pay has been opened in this drift, as well as big body of milling stuff. The drifts are being carried along east and west to open the bodies found in the level above.
 The Wrigley is one of the largest veins in the district, showing outcrop more than six miles across the moun- tains- Rs he present main shaft on the propeIty crosscut disclosed 60 feet of mineralized vein. Along the vein the entire length of the Wrigley holdings mineral shows well. The up- per part of the vein shows gold, silver, copper and lead, and the vein is i'm mense. A tunnel on one of the loca- tions shows splendid values in lead and gold. As a whole the vein sys- tenn is the best mineralized of any in the county and with the conservative management and good financial back ing we expect the property to be de veloped into one of the largest produc- CTS in the district.

FINANCING OF THE
 CLEOPATRA COPPER

Thor Warner and his associate, MT. Nelson.f are in New York arranging for the financing of the Cleopatra Cop per company. While the finances of the country are just now badly dis arranged, MT. Warner believes that he will have no difficulty in getting funds sufficient to put the Cleopatra on a strong footing.
 The Cleopatra mine is one of the most important of the copper mines of the county, having immense bodies of. developed ore and prospects for the development of as large a ton- mage as any mine of the State. The ore carries good values in copper and gold. It is situated in the basin be- tween the McCracken and Bill Will Hams Fork, in the big copper belt of that region. Rich ores have been shipped from the neighborhood, the old Rawhide mine being one of the principal shippers. In the Cleopatra some remarkably rich copper and gold ore has been found, and with the open ing of the north end mines it is pos sible that exceptionally rich ore bodies will be uncovered. Float on these claims was almost solid curpite, while the big bodies through the lime was found to be carbonate. The mines are well situated for economic work, being within short distance of the Swansea railroad, the expenditure of only a small amount of money for bridging fhe Bill Williams being necessary to place the property in touch with the outside world.

DRILLING OPERATIONS
 AT BI.METAL MINES

Several engineers arrived in King man from New York last Sunday and looked over the ground of the Bi-Metal leaving for Los Angeles the following day. They expect to return. to King man about the Eth of January to com mence the systematic drilling of the big deposit with a view of proving up its extent and richness.
 We believe the Bi-Metal will be one of the big gold producers of the coun- ty within the next year, it having an immense body of low grade milling ore ideally situated for milling. While it has not been proved to the sulphide depth there is an immense tonnage of proven ore in the property. It is only necessary to obtain volume of water sufficient to guarantee the milling of 1000 tons daily, only small percent age of which is available.

|. \. 1. WORKING
 IN SPLENDID ORE

c. G. Atlee, who has had charge of the old x L mine, in the basin of that name, is sinking a winze from what is known as the Hitchcock drift, and is in splendid ore. This ore was found in the floor of the drift and winze was sunk to a superficial depth. Further work is opening the ore body and indications are that it will be one of the most important in that field.
 The I X L mine is one of the old properties of the district, having been discovered in the early seventies by J. H. Johnson and others. The ore above the water level was high in silver values, shipments running above 1000 ounces to the ton. A fault was en- codntered at the water level and through the broken ground the values were low It is below the fault that work is now being pressed with indi- cations that the old ore body will be picked up. It lies east of the Wrigley and the strike is toward the c. O. D.

SANTA FE YARDAGE
 GREATLY EXTENDED

The Santa Fe is bringing in the big jteam shovel and expects tO put it to work in the gravel wash on the Chlo- ride branch, below McConnico. A train will be put on to haul gravel to King mar to make the big fill necessary to improve the yards and allow of the laying of greater trackage. One main line of track will be carried from the west end of the yards to the east leg of the Y and it will take thousands of yards of dirt to make the fill. The bridge east of town is to be improved and big undergrade crossing estab- ished.
 The water distribution in the yards is to be carried through a sixteen-inch main and two watering places for To- comotives will be put in. The one east of the depot will allow eastbound trains to clear the Fourth street cross ing and westbound trains will be able to take water al the lower end of the yard.
 An effort will be made to establish a warehouse track and clear up the unsightly places close in. Bunkers and warehouses ought to be put on a track that will not be disturbed by switching in the yards, and therefore should go tc point outside of the yard limits.
 The work mapped out in the King man yards indicates a cost in excess of S30,00O and the employment of several hundred men.

THE DECISION
 HANDED DOWN
 THIS MORNING

The Supreme Court this mOrn- ing handed down it's decision in the Gubernatorial contest of Hunt vs. Campbell, declaring Hunt the duly elected governor of the State of Arizona. The action of the Supreme Court was predicated in the hearing of the case before that body; lawyers of Republican politics express ing the opinion that the court could decide only in Hunts fa- vOr. This case was one of the longest drawn out election con- tests in the history of the state, having been instituted about a year ago. The lower court de- clared Campbell governor, and he has held the office ever since the first of the year.

MIDDLE GOLCONDA
 ID HAVE BIG MILL

Walter Hy Brown and associates have taken over the Middle Golconda mine under option from the company and will soon have a force of men at work on the property and also on a large milling plant.
 MT. Brown returned from the east Sunday last, having conferred with his associates regarding the matter of operating the Middle Golconda in con junction with the Golconda Extension, on which they also hold option. He reported that the company had been financed and that operations on a large scale would soon be under way.
 The Middle Golconda consists of the Silver and Big Bethel claims. During the past two years the company has been operating the mines and now has an immense body of high grade mill ing ore developed, as well as putting a large tonnage of the same material on the dump. The mines have been opened by cross country tunnel, a depth of several hundred feet on the vein being obtained. With the drifts carried to the south a depth of fully 500 feet will be gained near the south end of the claim, at which point ex- cellent ore was opened on the surface. The management of the mine has been in the hands of c. B. Bell, an excel lent mining operator. For the amount of money expended he has obtained the best result shown by any mine in the district.
 The other mines held by MT. Brown and associates are the O'Day group and the Golconda Extension. These properties are also in shape to produce high grade milling ore as soon as un- watered. A crosscountry tunnel is be- ing driven to tap the Gro Plata vein at depth below the old workings and drain the whole system of veins, al lowing othe rwork to be done without interference from the strong flow of water that all the mines encounter in that territory with depth. The Gro Plata was one of the best of the old time producers in the Todd Basin sec tion and large bodies of milling ore were left in the stopes when the chlo- riders gave up their leases owing to the fact that they had to buck heavy flow of water. No better proposition could have been tackled by the new than the Middle Golconda and Golconda Extension.

MURDER
 CREDITED ID BARR

Charles A. Barr, known in Nevada camps as F. c. Jackson, who killed an automobile driver named Johnson, be- tween Bisbee and Douglas last Satur- day, was arrested in Phoenix Thurs day, having driven the dead mans ma chine from the place where the mur- der was committed. Barr was known to the driver of the automobile under the name of Wellington.
 Charles A. Barr worked at Mineral Park last winter and after the disap- pearance of Dave Scott departed from that section with a man named Wal ters. In July he and Emery Scott and a man named Chapman departed from Chloride in an automobile belonging to a sporting woman named Lewis. They were last seen in Needles on the 14th day of July. About the 2Oth of the month the automobile was found wrecked on the desert near Danby and the body of Chapman, partly buried in the sand, was also found. On the 18th of the month Barr and Scott were seen in Las Vegas, Nevada, and on the 18th Barr passed through King man going east.
 It is understood that Barr was in trouble in Goldfield and when he came to Kingman he changed his name from Jackson to Barr. He is said to have been married and his wife earn ed her living in Chloride. She went to Globe, where the two kept house. Off, ficers have been on the trail of the pair since the murder of Chapman and it is probable that the perpetrators will now be brought to justice.
 Ollie Lewis, whose machine was wrecked by Barr and Scott on the desert, left here Sunday night for Jop- lin, Mo-, but evidently did not go that far, as officers have failed to trace her since leaving Kingman. It is evil dent that she knew the whereabouts of Scott and is probably with him in southern Arizona.
 The murder of Dave Scott has not been cleared up, but his bloody clothes were found in an old tunnel at Min eral Park by Sheriff Cohenour.
 Barr was registered under the se- lective draft and failed to appear for He is posted as a desert CT.

CHLORIDE MINERS UNION
 FLIES OLD GLORY TO.BREEZE

As a patriotic organization Chloride Miners Union has taken a first rank in the hearts of Chloride.
 Some days ago this union had a slightly 4O-foot flag pole erected in front of its hall and set December 14 for the raising of the largest flag now floating in northern Arizona.
 This edition of "Old Glory" was hoisted to top mast by "Sammie' Clark Slaughter, U. S. A., with atten- dant ceremonies, which offorded a demonstration and made a plea for pa- triotic unity of effort in the prosecu- tion of the war which was a thrill to the town and visitors, and brought the union gratifying praise from those who have little knowledge of union eff fort.
 The flag-raising exercises proved to be the most mutually animated get together event thus far in Chloride history. All its school children were assembled by their teachers and ren- dered the national anthems. Many of them delivered recitations commemo- rating "Old Glory" All business houses were closed for the purpose of attending the flag-raising ceremony and the town assembled en masse. Many visitors from Kingman, the county seat, also came, and the assem- blaze listened to a number of ad- dresses by visitors and citizens repre- sentative of avocations from mining to banking from their various stand points.
 In the opening address, Earl James of the Miners Union, was roundly ap- plauded while setting forth the posi- tion of the union in these terms:
 "This union has since the war start ed been behind the administration in the prosecution of the war which has been forced upon our nation. The na- tional labor movement has since the realized that each organiza- tion1 as well as every individual, is being measured, and properly so, by the expression of it's or his loyalty to the country; that a traitorous posi- tion taken by a union man, a local union, or national union, is to soihe extent a reflection upon the entire la bor movement of America. We do not wish to escape our mutual responsibil- ity, and we wish to unequivocally show that the trade unions of America are safe for democracy.
 As an organization we realize that for the benefit of our wives and chil- dren that autocracy must disappear from the earth; that democracy must prevail, and that the trade unions of America musticheerfully bear their

AMERICAN FLAG
 MINE DEVELOPS NEW VEIN OF FORE

The American Flag mine has been cleaned up, all drifts and winzes hay ing been cleared of debris and put in shape for the carrying on of the new work mapped out. In cleaning out the winze on the big vein a fine body of high grade was encountered, and it is purposed to begin sinking below the old level.
 Harry LeClair and associates believe they have one of the best propositions in the Wallapais in the American Flag and those who know this old mine can well believe that this is true. The American Flag during the early days of the property produced more than $4OO,OOO in gold and silver above the tunnel level The disintegration of the old mining partnership caused the shutting down of the mine, and the low price of silver kept 1t from start ing up later on. With silver now over 80 cents in the market the property can be worked at big profit.

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
 IN OATMAN HIGHWAY

A force of more than 50 men and a large number of teams are at work on the Oatman-Kingman highway, near Little Meadows, where improve ments are to be made. The roadway is to be carried back of the pumping plant at Little Meadow and along the south side Of the wash to point near the old pump station, where it will be brought across and connected up with the present highway.
 The road through the wash at Little Meadows has been one of the worst and most dangerous pieces of roadway in the county. h is narrow and lm- possible of more than one vehicle to pass, and so crooked that. team could not be seen fifty feet away. The work of reconstruction is under con- trol of the state road department, Ben Pearce being in charge ot construc- tion.
 The county is making a concrete floor across the 13-mile wash and do- ing otne1 necessary work on the road'

PROPOSES ID GIVE
 BOOZE ID RED GROSS

What should be done with captured booze is a problem that has been taken up by Governor Campbell, who is ad- vocating a proposition to donate the confiscated liquor to the Red Cross to be used in war work. The booze is to have it's quality as a beverage remov- ed, allowing the alcohol in it to remain unadulterated. Should this be done many thousand dollars worth of liquor could be made available for the use of the Red Cross at the front and no one would be injured thereby. Boot leggers will continue to sell their wares and officers will continue taking these criminals and their cargoes into custody, and it is well to turn the con traband to good use.
 The proposition has been approved by Judges Ellis of the Superior court of Mohave county and Lockwood of Cochise county.
 The Red Cross needs many thou sands of gallons of grain alcohol in their work at the front and it will either have to be obtained directly or indirectly. So why not put bad bus mess to a good end.

 RED CROSS LIGHT

Monday will be known as Red Gross ceremony day and one of the cere- monies will be the lighting of Christ mas candles behind the Red Cross Service Flags, hung in the windows of every home where Red Cross mem bers reside. The placing of a light behind this flag should not be neglect ed, as it will be a beacon light to all who have that big spark of human sympathy in their hearts. Let the world know that you are boosting for the Red Cross and let your light shine out into the darkness of night.

STRIKES BIG FLOW OF WATER

Fred Brown, owner of important moning property to the north Of the McCracken, is in town from that sec ton and reports that he has opened m a splendid body of water near his camp. Cattlemen have been negotiat- ing for the water, but it is probable that it will be piped to the McCracken, where need of water for camp pur- poses is pressing. The water fills a two-inch pipe under pressure and would furnish a good-sized camp.
