On q Big Scale.

The large concrete building
opposite the Commercial COM
pany's store was bought this
week by ]. E. Bush of Bush's S
Ferry. Mr.. Bush secured this
building, which is fre-proof, for
the storage of gasoline, oils and
distillate which he proposes to
handle in large quantities - from
five to fifteen carloads monthly.
His business in this line having
grown to such an extent as to
warrant this move, he will make
Parker the distributing point for
all the surrounding towns Of this
section of the country, shipping
thereto in such quantities as may
be required from time, while the
river boat. 'Nog," will attend
to the wants of patrons along
the river. In this way Mr.. Bush
figures that he can effect great
saving in cost which will accrue
to the benefit of his patrons.

THE ARIZONA
McGINNIS MINE
NEW ROADS HAVE BEEN BUILT
AERIAL TRAMWAY AND ORE
SHIPPING NEW WORKING SHAFT
BEING SUNK.

J. d. Mathews, who is con-
nected with the Arizona McGin-
mis- mine and who spent a few
hours in town Monday, reports
that operations are being pushed
as actively as equipment can be
landed on the ground and a good
sized crew of men can do the
work.
A new road has been built
leading to the property from the
Eagles Nest camp of the Empire
mine, and four new camp houses
have been erected. A road lead
ing to the shaft site has also been
built, and the sinking of the
working shaft is under way. An
engine and compressor have been
ordered and are expected to ar
rive any day, and everything
will be in readiness to go ahead
by the first of the coming month.
A tunnel is being driven into
the mountain and ore from the
surface is being taken out for
shipment. To facilitate the ham
ding of this ore an aerial tram
way will be built from the top
of the mountain to the ore bins,
the cable and buckets therefor
having arrived this week and will
be put in position at once.
The showing in the mine is
very satisfactory as work pro
crosses and the company has
every assurance of success.

.Jackrabbit Recipe.

The following is a new recipe
for cooking jackrabbits: Peel the
jackrabbit carefully and remove
all interior plumbing; put in to
boil over a slow fire; replenish
water whenever necessary until
cistern is emptied. As soon as
cistern is full again repeat the
process; select a clean, smooth
piece of pine plank, place rabbit
upon it; salt and pepper to taste
and bake five hours; then bury
the rabbit and eat the plank.

Truly Said.

From a circular entitled Needs
OF the Arizona State Bureau of
Mines" We quote as follows:
1t is believed that the state
of Arizona should appropriate
for the operation of the State
Bureau of Mines at least as much
as the United States government
is willing to appropriate for work
within the state, and it is there
fore proposed to ask the legisla-
ture for $25, 200 each year. In
as much as mining is by far the
most important industry within
the state, the money asked is but
a small proportion of the taxes
which it pays. For many years
the people of the state have paid
several times this amount for ag-
ricultural experimental work, for
which they have had many times
value received. We feel sure
that this bill will receive the sup
port of all those interested in
mining, for it is only by such
support that we can adequately
serve them"

Don't Keep Your Savings
in a Sock

Before the advent of the Savings
Bank, people who had thrift enough
to save, resorted to all sorts of ex-
pedients to house and hide their saw
ings A wool sock was a favorite
abiding place for the surplus cash.
A tin box hid under a plank in the
floor was another. Behind picture
frames and in old clocks were often
the secret repositories. And even
today with all the educational adVer-
tising the banks of our country are
doing, these improvident methods of
provincialism still exist. The money
lies dormant and insecure, and with
no earning power Placed in the
Savings Department of this Bank,
the savings are secure, immune from
theft, and become a steady earning
power. Start an account today, add
to it regularly, and prepare for a
rainy day.

Faithful Companions Killed.

Two burros, belonging to Mike
Horn of this place, which were
running loose on the other side
of the river, were run down by a
Santa Fe train in an open cut
near the bridge last Saturday
night. One of the animals was
killed outright while the other
was SO badly crippled that it had
to be shot to put it out of it's
misery.
These poor animals had been
the humble servants Of Mr..
Mr.. Horn for many years, and
one Of them it is said he has had
for over twenty years. AS pros
pecting has been Mr.. Horns
life work, and as these faithful
dumb brutes were his constant
and only companions in all his
travels, bearing the camp bur-
dens through thick and thin"
without complaint, and sharing
with him the trials and priva-
tions incident to the career of
the nomadic desert prospector,
there naturally existed between
them a camaraderie so profound
that no monetary consideration
could replace it's loss.

New Boat--Regular Trips.

J. E. Bush of the local ferry
service, purchased this week at
Needles a new ferry boat, the
"Nog," which will be used to
carry freight and passengers up
and down the river. This vessel
is equipped with a 4O-horsepower
engine and is specially built to
meet and overcome the Difficult
ties peculiar to navigating this
stream. The boat will make
three trips a week as far as En-
pire Flat, carrying freight and
passengers, and will also 60 up
as far as Needles whenever it's
service is required.

Utdh Gone Bone Drv.

Utah has gone bone dry, the
Young prohibition bill having
been signed by the governor on
on Thursday of last week. This
bill, which will become effective
August l. 1917, is one of the
most drastic dry measures passed
by any legislature. Under it's
terms mere possession of alcohol
is unlawful, except for mechani-
cal, scientific and sacramental
purposes.

zona, to preserve opportunity for

HARQUAHALA
PROPERTY
AMBITIOUS PLANS OF THE MAN.
AGEMENT FOR DEEPER SINKING
ARE WELL UNDER WAY AT THE
MINE.

Far reaching plans have been
made for the further develop
ment of the ore bodies at the
Harqua Hala mine, according to
a statement made this week by
Superintendent John B. Martin
and published in the Salome Bo-
nanza.
The rich deposits opened on
the eighth level have been ex-
plored to an extent sufficient to
demonstrate their size and values
and it is now proposed to con-
tinue the work of exploration at
a greater depth.
To this end a station has been
cut at the eighth level and, from
it, Wine will be sunk to a depth
of 112 feet, in fact, work has
been begun and the winze has
attained a considerable depth.
Further exploration will be
undertaken from the bottom of
the Wine by means of drifts and
crosscuts and a good area of
stopping ground will be developed.
The present mill will be used
for the extraction of the free
milling gold and, in addition, a
flotation plant is planned for the
recovery of the copper values.
This will be placed Immediately
below the present stamp mill.
The mine is making consider
able water almost enough to
serve the mill-but is fortunate
in having practically inexhaust-
ible supply which is pumped
from wells near Harrisburg to a
reservoir on the mountain side at
an elevation of 200 feet above
the wells and thence flows by
gravity, through a pipe line five
miles and quarter long, to the
mill.
Fourteen men are now at work
in the mine and it is planned to
increase the number as soon as
possible.
1t is the general opinion that
the good old mine, which has
produced SO many millions in
days past, is about to enter on
an era of production compared
with which it's past performances
will be of small moment.

Another Caterpillar.

Another large caterpillar en-
gine to be used in clearing and
leveling the land of the Indian
allotments on the Indian reser-
walton, which will be planted to
cotton, arrived in Parker Wednes-

tract where operations are under
way. This is the second engine
of the kind that has been ship
in within the past two weeks.

ASHURST ASKS
PROTECTION
TROOPS TO GUARD ROOSEVELT
DAM FROM POSSIBLE DAMAGE
BY MARAUDlNG SUBJECTS OF
GERMANY AND AUSTRIA.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. Sen
ator Henry F. Ashurst of Ari-
zona petitioned the war depart
ment today to send sufficient
troops to the Roosevelt dam in
the event of war with Germany
so that this mighty structure
would be adequately protected.
In all probability he will urge
that soldiers be sent to Globe and
Miami to protect the mammoth
copper smelters.
Senator Ashurst pointed out
that there were thousands of
Austrians and many Germans
employed in the. copper districts
of Arizona and that any injury
done to the Roosevelt dam, from
which the big copper companies
obtain their power, would stop
the production of this mineral,
which is of vital Importance in
the manufacture of war NUM-
tions, in one of the biggest cop
per producing districts in the
world.
