But later on l figured that he would
not have done trick like that, and

know. The sentries booted me all the
way back to my old barracks.

Easy Way to Measure Distances.

Boy scouts who are interested In
emulatlng deeds Of their older friends
are practicing many engineering
stunts. One Of the most interesting is
to measure distances without instru-
ments and where the travel from point
to point is impractlcable. The method
followed is one employed by Napoleon
when his engineers sought to learn the
distance across an unfordable river.
The little corporal took a position
on the bank at the water edge, gazed
across the stream until the opposite
shore line was just dlscernible below
the visor Of his cap, then turned on his
heel and spotted a point at the same
level up stream. After this he paced

OLD MINE REVIVED

W. E. Dunlap and associates have material on the ground with which they intend to begin the development of the old Democrat and Antelope mines, in the Wallapai mountains. MT. Dunlap purposes cleaning out the old works and make a thorough examina- tion of the property, and from the information gathered will map out fu- ture development.
 In the early days the Antelope pro duced a large tonnage of excellent gold-silver ore, shipments being made to the old mill at Mineral Park. When the Miner editor first became ac- quainted with the mine it was owned by the late Newt Shell, an old Ne vada pioneer. The adjoining proper ty was afterward located and tunnel driven almost to the Antelope ground. Good ore was opened up through this tunnel, and it is quite probable that large bodies of excellent milling ore still exist above this level. The mine is well situated for economic mining being in well watered and timbered part of the mountains.

MILLIONS WORK IN MINES

The magnitude of the mining indus try may be grasped when one realizes that more than 6,OOO,OOO men are en- gagged in the mines of the world. Of this number 3,8OO,OO0 are employed in the coal mines and 100000 in the metal mines. In addition, millions more are engaged in allied industries dependent directly upon the mines for coal and metal, according to the En- gineering and Mining Journal,
 Mining is one of the hazardous in dustries employing over 100000 men in the United States, in which three out of every 1000 men employed are killed every year by reason of some accident. While complete data relating to non-fatal injuries are not available reports to the United States bureau ot mines for all metal mines in the United States show that about 2Ol men per thousand per year are in- iured sufficiently to cause a loss o1 time. A reduction of 50 per cent 1T the number of mine accidents would mean a saving of 1900 lives in the United States every year, in addition to reducing the loss of time and sui fering resulting from more than 2OO, 900 nOn-fatal injuries.

ENLISTING MINERS IN
 CORPS ENGINEERS

Major O. B. Perryt of San Francis co, arrived in Kingman few days ago and has already secured 56 enlist ments in the miners engineering corps. A large number ot the men were obtained at Oatman and other mining camps, many coming to King man to enlist. The men are badly needed in the work at the front and 1t is probable that all will be in France before the first of April. The men will leave for the training camps this evening.
 More men will be taken into the ser vice in this branch and it is probable that the assistants to Major Perry will remain here to sign up other ap- picants.

LIBERTY BOYS ON FURLOUGH

Ivey Steed, Fred Moyle and Sam Swaskigame spent day or two in Kingman this week, having obtained a four days furlough from Camp Kearny. Mir. Moyle was met here by his brothers and went over to Mineral Park for a day. Sam Swaskigame wis tied with his wife and child at the Wdllapai Indian camp and was more pleased to get back than to win the war. Sam was one of the two Walla- pais to be drafted and he is sure mak- ing good. He refused to claim ex- erlption although he has a dependent wife and child. Sam wants to go to war and his spirit is to be commend led. Training has done much for him, as he is every inch a soldier. MT. Steed also shows that training is the proper thing for the young man, and looked fine. He was glad to get back even for a day among his many friends.
 It is the impression among these soldiers that the day when they sail away to France is not far distant.

SHANNON MAY
 COMMANDEER COAL

PHOENIXI Jan. 4.-If the worst shall come to the worst, Fuel Admin istrator c. NJ. Shannon has been giv- en full powers to seize coal on the railroad or elsewhere, if convinced that it is needed to prevent individual suffering. It is very unlikely that he will have to do this, for the winter IS short in Arizona, and the colder sec tions have forests upon which. to fall back in the event of a coal shortage. Then, there is not likely to be short age. under the arrangements that have been made for shipments of domestic fuel from the Gallup coal field.
 The authorization, telegraphed by National Fuel Administrator Garfield, follows:
 "In order to secure a more equitable distribution of coal and to prevent cases of individual suffering and sus- pension of service of public utilities | from the lack of such distribution, the undersigned has made regulation, a CODY of which will be sent you, under which any state fuel administrator may, within his state, divert to the use of domestic consumers, or of pub
 lie utilities, any coal while in transit
 or prior to it's actual delivery to any
 consignee in such state and intended
 for any use other than domestic con
 sumption or the operation of a public utility. You are authorized to take
 such action in cases where the same seems to you necessary"

BIG BUSINESS WINDS UP YEAR

The County Recorder reports the month of December as the banner month of all years for his office, hay ing a total receipt of S1SO4.1O. The previous big month was May, 1916, the receipts running up to Sl558.55. November receipts were S716i which was an average month for the office.
 The increased business of the re- corder's office is but criterion of other lines, the merchants of Kngman reporting the largest business Of the year during the past month. Especial lv was the Christmas business i'm mense. One firm sold more goods during the holidays than ever before in the business history of the town. While the town may seem off it's bus mess ''feed" nevertheless an immense volume of business is being transact ed and with less help than at any time during past years.

E E. Walker and wife, who accom- panied Mrs. Walkers parents to the old home in Alabama, are home again, having made the round trip of about 5000 miles by auto. They report hay ing had a most enjoyable trip through the south, but the lure of the desert was too much for them and they had to listen to the call MT. and Mrs. Denney remained in Prescott, but will probably come to this county to reside. Mir. Denney recently sold his big cat tie interest in Yavapai county to his son. Mir. and Mrs. O. E. Walker met the party at Prescott and made the re- turn trip home with the young folks.

VISITS HERCULES MINES

A. T. Dunbar, of San Francisco, was at Chloride several days this week looking after his holdings in the Her cules and Badger mines. These prop critics are now being operated by Ia Salt Lake company, and good results are being obtained. The work is opening up nice bodies of lead and zinc, gold increasing as depth IS gain ed.
 MT. Dunbar was at the head of the old Western Arizona Mining company, which first took over the Badger and Hercules, and it was due to his eff forts that a large amount of work was done on the properties. The mines are now about to be patented.
