800 900 tons of ships in two months,
and at that rate of destruction the
success of the submarine blockade
would be complete.
These are possibilities | have men,

This much we know is true. We

DEFENSE COUNCIL
 IS WORKING HARD
 ID PROTECT STATE

PHOENIG, Ariz., June 23.-(Spe- ciaD-The Arizona state council of defense is being financed entirely by private subscriptions. In most of the states special sessions of the legis- latures have appropriated large sums for this work. New Mexico, for ex- ample, voted S75O,OOO for the work of the state defense council. Here in Arizona the state council of defense is doing just as much work as in states where a million dollars has been appropriated. The officers are all serving without pay, with the excep- tion of the secretary, and some of the committees are paying all of their own expenses. John H. Page of Phoe- nix has been made chairman of the finance committee and is receiving subscriptions to carry on the work Governor Campbell is opposed to cali ing a special session of the legisla- ture to provide for financing the work of the Arizona council of defense as long as it can be conducted through the aid of private subscriptions, thus saving the taxpayers a large sum in expense of a special session.
 Many patriotic citizens are assist ing the council of defense in the az ricultural census. They are giving the use of their automobiles and their time. Among those who are assist ing at Phoenix are McArthur Bros. and Thos. Maddock, state engineer.
 Lemar Cobb, chairman of the com mittee on highways, is at work on a large military map of the state for the council. No such map, showing all of the highways of the state, has ever been prepared and Mir. Cobb's map will be of great aid to the mii- tary authorities.
 Capt. John c. Greenway, chairman of the committee on public defense and security, has been spending sev- eral days in Phoenix with Chairman Dwight B. Heard discussing plans for encouraging enlistment in the First Arizona.
 A neat little booklet giving the first report of the executive commit tee and telling of the purpose and ac- complishments of the council will be issued in the near future.

NEW COMPANY Is
 FORMED ID WORK
 WALKER PROPERTY
From Tuesdays Daily sriner)


 The Arizona Vindicator Mining & Milling company was recently organ izzed under the laws of the state of Wyoming by Cheyenne people for the purpose of operating the Walker prop erty, in the Lost Basin district, this county. The company is capitalized for 100000 one dollar shares.
 c. G. Walker, owner of the mines, made the trip from Cheyenne by au- tomobile and reports having had a splendid trip. He departed yesterday to the mines and will at once begin operations. The Walker property was the one that last year opened a nice body of very rich gold ore. The shaft was sunk on the vein to a depth of 60 feet, and as soon as equipment can be installed it is proposed to sink it to a depth of 800 feet. The property is in one of the best gold sections of the county and should be brought out a winner with proper development.

stars of the Kingman team. The lat ter made several pretty catches in left field. One of them he reached over a barbed wire fence and pulled down the ball. Grantham starred both in field and at bat, securing three or four hits and picking up everything that come his way Orndorff was another man that starred at the bat, but the exact number of hits he got is uncer- tain.
 Alex. Jacobson of the home team was the fielding star of that aggre- gation, making catches off of balls that looked like extra base drives.
 Being unable to get the exact score, we absolutely refuse to print what we have. We went around to the differ ent players and asked them how many hits, putouts, etc, they had, and when added together the total looked like it was for several games instead of one; so we have not the heart to print it.

From Tuesday,s Daily Minerl

From Tuesdays Daily Miner
 In an interview with J. U. Orndorf, the enterprising- salesman of the Ari- zona Engineering mompany, he an nounced that he would soon open a dance hall in the Odd Fellows build ing. MT. Orndorf also stated that he would have the best music obtainable, and the dances would be conducted along high class lines. The dance are to be managed different to that which the Kingman people are used to, but what the changes are he would not say.
 A club, consisting of not more than 50 members, is to be organized, and dances by the club will be given twice a month, the membership to be about SIP a year. An instructor will be se- cured if possible to keep everyone in- formed on the latest steps.

(By ''HAM'D

The entire force of General Chloride surrendered to "Chloride Junction" last Sunday, the total casualties be- ing II to 4. In other words, the Kingman bunch simply massacred the Chloride ball club on their home field.
 The visiting team did not wait for any preliminaries, but just started in and made three runs in the first inn ing. In the general excitement caus- ed by this sudden outburst no one thought of keeping score, with the re- suit that the Kingman boys did not help their batting averages any.
 "Buckshot," famous speiler of the 'Gittle lead camp"-I mean the little village among the hills"-started out then and there as the official score keeper, but ''Buck" simply could not keep from hollering, and, of course, the, score, after a while, was bit out of tune

ANOTHER COPPER BASIN MINE NOW
 IS LOOKING GOOD

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 23.-(Spe- cial )-The first important determine tion made in the Arizona-Portland in CopperA Basin occurred Wednesday night, In an ore body carrying . high g le molybdenite copper conS tent was encountered in the bottom of the 200 foot shaft on the hanging wall side. The extent of this condi- tion as yet has not been determined, and the plan of Manager Blickenstaff is to start cross-cutting at once.
 Since a compressor has been in stalled good headway in depth is be- ing made, and three shifts are now at work. He brought to the city for in- spection of local stockholders samples from the strike zone that attracted very much interest. The Portland now takes a desirable rating along with the Commercial, Copper Hill and Lo- ma Prieta, all being in the producing class, and situated within a stones throw of each other.

FED AND FRANK GIVE
 RED GROSS S7O.25
tFrom sunday's Daily Miner)

The Ed and Frank stage line, ope- rating between Kingman, Golconda and Chloride, the past week contribut- ed one-half of the receipts to the Red Cross, and last evening brought to the Daily Miner office the sum of STOPS, that being the sum that goes into the coffers of the Red Cross chapter. This is the largest single contribution made to this great organization by any per son in the county and it should set the pace for the others. Ed and Frank are entitled to great credit for their contribution and we hope that the travelling public will show their ap- preciation by patronizing their lines into the mining camps.

Steps Taken to
 ThWart Plans of
 Food Spectators

TUCSON, Ariz, June 26.-(Spe- cial)-In order to thwart the plans of food spectators who are seeking to contract far in advance for the grain crops of the state, farmers are being asked to avoid making such con- tracts, and it is being pointed out to them that they might as well get the profit from the increase in food prices as the speculator. In other words, they are being shown that if it is a good thing for the speculator to buy up the crops, then it is a good thing for the farmer to hold on to them and take the profit which the specula- tor would otherwise make.
 Fair profits to the farmer will en- courage food production this fall and next spring will keep prices normal. If spectators succeed in tying up the grain crops prices will be abnormal and the farmer will not get the return he is entitled to.
 The Arizona council of defense is Investigating wherever possible re- ported speculation in food productions, and pitiless publicity will be applied to those who take advantage of the war situation to extort abnormal pro- fits from the consumer.

THE LAST WORD IN
 GERMAN EFFICIENCY

an antiseptic bath which disinfects them and then dumps them into a huge caldron.
 The material is treated with steam for six hours, which breaks it up and allows the tallow and oils to rise to surface and be drawn off, to be re- fined by the aid of carbonate of soda. Such of the oils as are suitable are used for making into nitroglycerine and other explosives, and the residue is made into fertilizer.
 When this story was first given out, nearly everyone refused to believe it, but it has been confirmed as authentic even by German papers. As in the case of other German atrocities, mo- body in Germany seems to be asham- ed of it, but on the contrary it is a matter of pride.
 The Berlin Lokalanzeiger has long eulogistic article on this matter of 'kadaververwertungsanstall" or corpse utilization, and it says: ''The fats here are turned into lubricatlng oils and everything else is ground down in the mill, the bones into powder which is used for mixing with pigs food and as manure. Nothing can be permitted to go to waste"

A sickening story has just been made public telling how German "ef- ficiency" is now utilizing the bodies of the dead, when they have time to get them to the rear. According to circumstantial accounts of eye-wit- nesses, the bodies are gathered to- gether and handled like so much cord wood. They are tied in bundles of three or four with wire so as to facili- tate operations. Then they are loaded on trains and carried to certain points in the interior where they are "tank- ed" in much the same way that our meatpackers dispose of the carcasses of animals that are condemned for disease.
 The German government is said to have authorized a concern called the Deutsche Abfalls Verwertungsgesell- schaft, or German Offal Utilization Co. The men who do the work of handling and rendering" the corpses are dressed completely in oilskin suits and are protected by masks, to keep them from infection.
 They handle the bodies with long hooked poles. An endless belt with hooks on it conveys the bodies through

 BEING CONSTRUCTED
From Tuesdays Daily MiDerl


 The open air dancing pavilion of the Kingman Amusement company, at the corner of Oak and Third streets, is now under construction. The grand opening will be held the evening of July 3, while dances will be held the next afternoon and evening. A hard wood floor costing approximately $2,- 900, electric lights and the best musi- cians in the country are but a few features of this new and up-to-date place.
 No longer will the people of King man be able to say that it is too hot to dance for this place will have nothing but a roof on it and the cool breezes of the evening will make you feel as though you never want to go home.

During the past several days Rev. Father Plachta, of Royalton, Minn., in company of J. H. Conway and wife, visited the Leviathan mines, in the Cedar district, and the Wallapai Me tals, in the Wallapais, fifteen miles east of Kingman, the Emerald Isle, near Chloride, and the Cupel. All the properties looked good to him, espe- cially the Leviathan, which has opened Is feet of rich ore in the stope on the 100 level. All the other properties also interested the reverend gentleman greatly. Father Plachta left yester- day for the coast where he will visit a few days and return to his home by the northern route.

H. M. Caswell and W. Hamilton have established a camp in the Wal lapais near the "Old Sawmill" and in tend to spend the summer prospecting through the mountains.
 Some wonderful prospects have been uncovered of late through that section of this county, and it is not unlikely that more will be found.

pleasant day among the shades of the pines. Several persons climbed to one of the nearby peaks above the Potato Patch" and report that the view ob- tained there is magnificent.
 It only remains for some person with little capital to build a good road into the mountains at this point and put in one of the finest summer resorts anywhere, for with a good graded road it would not take over 30 minutes to go to the top of the divide from Kingman and if at that point there was a good dance pavilion hundreds would journey into the mountains every week.

Death Was Due to
 Old Affliction, Is
 Coroner'S Verdict
tFrom Tuesdays Daily AIiner.y

(From Tuesdays Daily Miner.)
 The coroner's jury called yesterday to inquire into the death of William B. Gately returned a verdict of death from oedema or filling of the lungs. The decision was reached after hear ing the testimony of Dr. T. R. White, who with Dr. Bowes performed an au- topsy Saturday and found that death resulted as above. The man was found to have an undersized heart and that he had suffered from pleurisy or tuberculosis, which had scared the lungs and the lungs had grown to the walls of the chest, making it easier for the filling of the lungs and harder for the heart to force the fluids out.
 Little is known or could be ascer- tained of the deceased, but it is thought that he is a native of Boston and has relative living there. He was buried in the Mountain View cemetery

JUSTICE WADE. THREW
ALL HIS LIQUOR AWAY

Atlanta. Ca. April There has
been lot OF humoresque an
burlesque in the newspapers about the
honest though sorrowful citizens who
conscientiously poured their liquor
into the kitchen sink of the day when
the bone-dry law went into effect. but
tho only man who really sacrificed his
liquor. so far as genuine investiga-
ton has been able to discover. Is
Judge Peyton L. Wade. chief judge OF
the state court OF appeals, and he did
It because of the position he holds.
Suppose there should come before
the court Of appeals case involving
the constitutionality of the bone dry
law. which prohibits the keeping OF
liquor for personal use in the home.
and suppose the chief judge of that
court should then be harboring and
concealing in his medicine chest q
couple OF quarts unopened?
Could such Judge pass fairly upon
the law?
You can figure. out the answer for
yourself; and the answer you figure
will probably be the same that Judga
Wade figured, for he went and poured
out his liquor.
