WALLAPAI METALS
 COMPANY OPENS
 A TEN FOOT VEIN
From Tuesdays Daily Miner)

Yesterday the drift from the 100 foot level of the Wallapai Metal com pany mines, 15 miles east of Kingman, had passed through 10 feet of vein matter and still had failed to reach the wall. Eighteen inches of the vein is said to be rich ore, the values be- ing in gold, silver, lead, copper and zinc. The ore was entered 55 feet from the station, a greater distance than had been figured on when the shaft was started from the suface.
 The Wallapai Metals company owns a big group of claims, many of the veins showing excellent surface pros poets. The main vein of the group was selected for developments, and it ap- pears that the promoters of the en- terprise were correct in their diag- noses. Superintendent Lauzon is pleas ed with the result of the work and is pushing the crosscut to the other wall as fast as possible.
 John H. Conway, R. c. Jacobson, 1. c. Stricker, B. F. Noehl and others of Kingman are interested in the proper ty. They were all highly elated yes terday over the strike, and believe they have one of the best things in the north end of the Wallapais.

Burro Hides To
 Be Used To Make
 Leather For War
(From Wednesday's Daily Miner.l


 A new industry has been started in Mohave county. A number of junk dealers who have been shipping out of this section for the past year or more are now procuring the hides of the wild burros that run in the hills and shipping them to the markets. Just what use they are to make of them was not learned. It is presumed they are to be used for making leather for war purposes as the hides are all salted down and shipped in barrels of brine. If it should develop that the hides of these little animals prove any thing near as durable as the animal itself, pair of shoes made from their hide should wear a mans lifetime.

TAXES NOW ARE DELINQUENT;
 PAY UP AT ONCE, OR BE SUED

Mohave county is to conduct its business on a cash basis in the future, according to plans just announced by County Treasurer I. N. Hart. Delin- quent taxes are to be collected as they become due, or suits will be filed by the treasurer and county attorney. County Attorney S. D. Stewart is sending out notices that the taxes are due and payable at once.
 The taxes became delinquent last Monday, May 2. A penalty of 10 per cent attaches, and in addition per cent of the total is allowed for collec- tors fees. Suit may be filed, the state law provides, at any time, but it is expected that the mere announcement of delinquency will prove sufficient in most cases.

Yucca Banana" Crop This Year
 Will Be Heavy

The Yucca forest between Yucca and McCracken is just now breaking down with it's burden of bananas" This fruit, when ripe, is a mass of sugar, and from it could be extracted enough of the saccharine matter to sweeten the lives of all the peoples of the southwest. At least 100000 tons of this fruit could be gathered from this great forest. The fruit ripens gradually, the farthest south ripening first, and as elevation is gained later ripening takes place.
 Why should we have to plant sugar beets, when nature provides the nee essary sweet stuff right at our doors, and of better quality than the beet.

 In 80-Foot Well
tFrom Saturday., Daily Minerl

 The ore ven was struck by ac- cident. Mir. Eoffman was down about 80 feet with the well, which he was digging mainly to protect water rights he has in that vicinity. MT. Hoffman is an old-time miner of Mohave county, where he has been operating for many years. j.. E. Shanks of Chloride brought the news of the discovery to Kingman yesterday.

The delinquent tax roll now is not more than $1O,OOO. The annual tax roll amounts to s211 900, on an assess ed valuation of approximately S16,- 100000.
 The total tax in Mohave county is 13.5 mills, including 4 mills for state purposes. This is considered a low rate of taxation, but it is pointed out that a lower rate still would be pos sible if the exact valuation of the pro perty were turned in by the owners.
 The board of supervisors, acting as the county board of equalization, will meet June IA, to make up the tax roll for 1917. The state board of equaliza- tion will meet in Phoenix August 10, when the assessments will be passed on and the state mill levy fixed.

Report comes from Mineral Park that the George Washington mine has entered one of the best bodies of ore ever encountered in the mine.

The Kid Has Gone to the COIOrs By w. M Herschell in the Indianapolis News.)

The kid has gone to the Colors
 And we don't know what to say; The kid we have loved and cuddled
 Stepped out for the Flag today. We thought him a child, a baby,
 With never care at all, But his country called him man size,
 And the kid has heard the call He paused to watch the recruiting,
 Where, fired by fife and drum, He bowed his head to Old Glory
 And thought it whispered "comep The kid, not being stacker,
 Stood forth with patriot joy To add his name to the roster
 And God, we're proud of the boy! The kid has gone to the Colors;
 It seems but little while Since he drilled schoolboy army
 In truly martial style. But now he's man, a soldier,
 And we lend him listening ear, For his heart is heart all loyal,
 Unscourged by the curse of fear. His dad, when he told him, shuddered, His mother-God bless her !-cried; Yet, blest with mother nature,
 She wept with mother pride, But he whose old shoulders strengthened Was grandad-for memory ran To years when he, too, a youngster,
 Was changed by the Flag to man!
