AUTO BREAKS LEG
 OF JOE MORGAN

Joe Morgan, Jr., suffered a broken leg last Thursday evening when a Ford driven by R. O. Pierson collided with a truck and veered off from the glance of this blow striking another car standing in front of the Mohave garage and striking Mir. Morgan with the result as above stated.
 The facts of the case are as follows: J. N. Brewer of the garage had just lowed broken car in and stopped in front of the garage and a few mo- lnents later a truck driven by w. L. Asbury, which had just filled with gasoline at a pump in front of Chap pell Bros. garage, pulled ahead to the east and stopped alongside the car driven by Mir. Brewer, with a space intervening between these two cars of several feet. The lights were burning on the touring car but there were no lights on the truck. Shortly after this MT. Pierson rounded the corner of Sixth street, coming into South Front at a. high rate of speed and evidently attempted to pass between these two cars (which it occurs were entirely to the left side of the center of the road and that there was some fifty or sixty feet of available space on the right hand side), striking the truck and thence the other car. Mir. Morgan; Mir. Brewer and a Mir. L. D. Baker were viewing the remains of the wrecked car, which had just been tow ed in, when the crash came and in the hurry to escape Mir. Morgan was caught.
 A complaint has been laid in the justice court against MT. Pierson charging him with operating motor vehicle while intoxicated.

! 100000 shares of treasury stock
 on the market. Mir. w. M. Owens or WIckenburg, formerly connect
 ed with the Arizona Mines and
 Reduction company, as ore buyer,
 has secured an option on 100000
 shares of this stock and will
 place it on the market in the near
 future.
 The article is quite true, with the exception that the mines and mill de- scribed do not belong to the Mohave County Abstract and Title company, but is the property of the Leviathan Mines company; that the Mohave County Title and Abstract company has no mills, has no shaft 200 feet deep, has no hoisting plant, has no compressor, and in fact has no go- ing outfit whatever. This is simply a sample of the camouflage put out by the company and Lore to mislead the public.
 Illustrative of it's method of doing business Lore, some months ago, went upon a mining claim in this county, then under operation, and informed the people in charge that he was sent out by the U. s. Land Office for the purpose of looking into a fraction" that was lying between a patented and mining claim. Inquiry at the land office disclosed the fact that that office knew nothing of Lore. Not only that, but during trial of a cause in the superior court of this county Lore swore that he had no interest whatever in the way of stock holdings in the Mohave Abstract and Title company, when the corporation com escrow showed him to be the owner and holder of 150,O00 shares in that corporation. It is this class of man and this class of company that is trying to establish itself to handle your abstract business, and if it is this class of people you desire, then it is up to you to do business with them. But, standing in a capacity of purveyor of news and having the well fare of the community and county at heart, we have to submit the facts to the people as they are.

UNITED EASTERN MAKES LARGE
 CLEANUP

The United Eastern made one of the biggest outputs of bullion of any month in its history, with the excep- tion of January, 1918, having milled over 5000 tons, with a recovery of $184,000, the ore showing an average value of S23. The net profit was S1OO,- coo.
 The Eastern has driven its drift along the 965 level into the big ore body and we understand that it shows the same general characteristic and value as that on the 665 level. Of course the drift is from the new shaft, and stands at a depth of about 1000 feet at that point. With the opening of the stopes on this new level 300 foot backs of new ore will be opened, which will add many thousands of tons to the mine reserves. For a single ore body the United Eastern has one of the greatest ore bodies in the coun- try. The costs of extraction and mill ing are low and the recovery in the mill is very high. The company is working out every device that makes for greater recovery and lower costs and will soon have them down to a point below which it will be hard to go.

TOM REED MILL INCREASES
 ITS OUTPUT

Last month the Tom Reed mill put
 through it's plant more than 5000 tons of ore from the Aztec property. This ore was sweetened to small extent by the ore from the other stopes, but
 to small extent. It is thought that within the next thirty days the com pany will be able to handle a large tonnage from the new strike and that the output of the mill will be largely increased. The new ore bodies are being crosscut from the 500 level and as. soon as this is completed the work of opening stepes will be put under way. Everywhere that an opening has been made in the big vein good ore has been opened, with exceptions of a few points where breaks in the ore continuity were discovered. How wide the vein is in the fifth crosscut we have been unable to learn, but if 1t was only as wide as reported in the last issue of the Miner and con tinued with the reported values 1t would be one of the biggest things ever found in the state. The Tom Reed is real mine and no pounding of stock brokers can hurt it where shareholders own their stock and hold it

Several companies are now op- erating in that section about thir- ty miles south of Yucca and de- veloping a large amount of mo- lybdenite ores and two of the properties are equipped with mills and turning out high grade mo- lybdenite concentrates. The Mo have County Abstract and Title company are operating a group of five claims, two of them on what is known as the Leviathan ledge. They have one shaft down two hundred feet and another shaft forty feet deep, each one being an incline shaft on the vein, the vein being almost perpendicular. The vein is a big quartz vein, a rich pay streak six to eight inches in width running as high as 20 per cent molybdenite, while the bal ance of the ledge will pay to mill. The property is equipped with a thirty-ton mill, using the Minerals Separation company's patent oil Notation process, with which a very high recovery is made. Plenty of water for mill ing purposes is obtained from the 2OO-foot shaft. A 35-horsepower engine is used to run the mill and another engine of the same size for the compressor and a 25- horsepower hoist is in use at the 2OO-foot shaft. To increase the milling capacity and develop the property more extensively the company has placed block of

THE TWIN MINES
 ARE WORKING

M. B. Dudley, who has been looking after his mining interests in New York, returned from that city the first of the week and is now interesting himself in the work of opening the Twin Mines at Cerbat. Superintendent Erickson has gotten the new holster in place and will soon have the shaft cleared of water, and then the work of sinking to new levels will be put under way.
 The Twins is one of the most sym metrical veins in the country, the walls being perfect so far as the shaft has been carried down on the lode. It lies to the north and apparently parallels the old Champion, which has been one of the largest producers in the Cerbat country. A big dike sep arates the veins and it is probable that this dike has considerable influ- ence in the mineralizing of the veins of that neighborhood. To the north of this is the big Cerbat fault, which has an east and west trend. To the south of this fault the veins carry gold, silver and lead, while to the north practically all veins carry some copper, but no lead.

MINING MAN DIES
 IN GLOBE HOSPITAL

B. F. Noehl, one of the best known engineers of this county, died on May l, at hospital in Globe, Arizona, af- ter an illness of only few days, death being due to pneumonia.
 B. F. Noehl was born in Minnesota and was educated in the University of that state. He took up mining engi- neering and was employed throughout the southwest and South America in professional capacity for many years. A few years ago he came to Mohave county, being employed by Dudley brothers on the old Blackberry. La- ter he took charge of the Tyro. Some months ago he was recalled by the Qualeys and went to Gage, New Mexi- co, where he had charge of big cop per property. Recently he was sent into the field in search of a silver property and while looking over the old silver mines of the Globe country he contracted pneumonia.
 Mir. Noehl was one of the best liked men that ever came to Mohave coun- ty. He was dependable fellow, hon orable, upright and conscientious in all his dealings and his many friends here will learn of his death with sincere regret.

GOLD ORE MILL
 MAKES SO,DAY RUN

The Gold Ore mill has just com pieted it's first run of 30 days and a cleanup will soon disclose just what bullion output may be expected from this property monthly; 1900 tons were crushed and put through the teaching tanks, and excellent saving is reported to have been made. The haulage has so far been from the mine and the old dumps, but with the cleaning up of the dumps a better grade of ore may be expected from the mine. The stopes have been opened on the 700 level and ore from that part of the property is coming out.

UNITED
 Is DRIFTING

The Oatman United, with a shaft sunk to the 400, is now drifting east and west along the vein and has one of the drifts under the Elephant Butte, where a fine streak of ore was open ed. This will be sunk on and drifting carried along on the ore body from the 100 foot winze level. At the other end of the drift another winze is to be sunk and drifting on the other vein to be carried on from that point. The company has been rushing its late work on the properties with gratifying results.

COPPER AGE MINE
 WORKING BIG FORGE

The Copper Age mine, at Chloride, is working a force of 30 or 40 men and report comes to us that a splen- did body of ore has been opened in the property. This ore contains values in gold, silver, copper and some lead. The company back of the project is said to be well financed and has map ped out a big campaign of develop ment. A mill is ready to dress the ere for market, or for reduction into bullion on the ground.
 While we do not take readily to new schemes of ore reduction, we are always willing to be shown, and we hope that this company will work out a process that will make possible the reduction of all ores in the Chloride camp, or elsewhere, into bullion at small expense.

RICH MANGANESE
 FOUND NEAR TOPOCK

A report comes from the TOpOck country that a vein or series of veins have been found near TopOck, this county, that run high in manganese. Locations have been made covering the ground and work is to be at once undertaken. While the fact that man ganese has been found in that region for many years, so far none has been encountered that showed continuity. The present locators have probably traced out the vein to a point where 1t is unbroken. At the south end of the same mountains large deposits of the rich ore has been found.

MNGMAN MAN CHARGED
 WITH DISRUPTING FAMILY

Herbert D. Lore, mining engi-
 neer of Los Angeles, wrote love
 letters to Mrs. Sybil Stone, ac-
 cOrding to testimony given before
 Judge F. P. Morgan today in the
 divorce suit brought by Harold A.
 Stone, ITO O'Farrell street.
 Stone introduced fifteen letters
 written to his wife from Lore, all
 Sin endearing terms" and written
 on stationery of the mining com
 pany of which Lore is the head.
 He also charged that while he and
 his wife were living in Los Ange-
 les she went to Arizona with Lore
 on a three-day automobile trip.
 Lore, according to Stone, is a
 married man with two children
 San Francisco Call, Feb. 25.
 The above excerpt is taken from the San Francisco Call in it's report of the trial of this cause. While the Miner has stood aloof from publication of the salacious details of divorce actions, we believe that this merits more than passing notice. The Stones formerly resided in Kingman, the husband hay ing been racing driver until an acci- dent put him out the running, and further that some publicity should be given to the indoor and outpoor sports of the correspondent in the case, Herbert D. Lore, and that young wom- en of the town may be warned of pos sible danger and disgrace through this source.
 Not only is the conquest of women one of the accomplishments of this man, but claim jumping and kindred activities may be charged to him. A year or so ago he and associates or .ganized what was known as the Mi ners' Title and Abstract company, of which corporation Lore claimed to be field manager. When that company emassed a considerable amount of debts another corporation known as the Mohave County Abstract and Title company was organized which took over the affairs of the old corporation, minus debts. And Lore claimed that he had not stock interest in either cor poration. When the latter company was organized large blocks of stock

SUMMARY IF LIBERTY LOAN
 ISSUED BY THE CHAIRMAN

Some interesting information is con- tained in summary of the Third Lib erty Lean drive in Mohave county. which has just been issued by the county chairman, J. H. Rosenberg. Of the seven districts into which the county was divided for convenience, only one failed to reach its quota. A star for honor flag was worn by Oat- man, Yucca, Goldroad and the county itself, while Chloride won three. The al!ottments and actual subscriptions follow:
Mohave County miner., 1918-05-11

There were 1911 subscriptions, meaning an average for the county of little over 40 per cent of the popu- lation based on the census for 1917. In other words, two out of every five persons-men, women and children in Mohave county bought bond, and the average value of each subscrip- tion was S67, which is certainly a rec ord for the state.
 Credit for the success of the drive is due to the fine work of the seven district chairmen and their respective committees; to the splendid work of the women's organizations; to the able efforts of the speakers; to the con- stant support of the three county

were passed around to certain people, even state officers being among those presented with the shares. Then the company again became active and broadened its scope to take in mining as well as abstracting. Lore, as it's field man went out and got few op- tions and jumped a few good claims and proceeded to peddle it's stock. We give below an article from the Wicken- burg Miner of date January 10, 1918, as an illustration of the way this com pany was touted to the public:

duet of its campaign was an inspira- tion to every other district in the county.
 The mining companies and business interests responded very well indeed, but the feature of the campaign was the work of the wage-earners. Min ing camps like Leviathan, Klotsch and Smith in the Yucca district; Hack berry Consolidated, Emerald Isle, Wrigley and Arizona Butte, showed 100 per cent subscriptions.
 Among the larger mines in the Oat- man and Goldroad district probably not man of the 800 employed failed to buy bond.

 While every district is deserving of credit, the best showing was undoubt- edly made by Oatman, which shows not only the largest totals but the greatest number of subscribers per population-about 49 per cent. It is safe to say that there are two bonds in every Oatman home, and the con-

collar of the Schuylldll shaft. With the drifts carried through from the lower level a great tonnage of ore should be opened. At the time the drift was carried north on the 600 level the contractors advised the Mi ner editor that good ore was found in the breast at the line of the two claims, and that they believed the big ore body was already in the Schuyl- kill. This drift is open and the work of carrying it into the new ground would be inexpensive.
 No trouble should be experienced in the financing of the property, all though the promoters would like very much to have local assistance to es- tablish good will and friendly rela- tions in the community. With prop CT backing of finances and systematic and conscientious handling the proper ty should be on an established pay basis before the end of the year.

HAS MARROW ESCAPE
 IN WRECKED AUTO

Frank Soto, the well known sheep man, had a narrow escape Thursday morning when his automobile turned turtle about eighteen miles west of Kingman. He was bowling along at a good rate of speed when the steering gear went wrong and the machine turned bottom upwards. Fortunately the top was up, which probably saved his life. He dug his way from under the machine, not much the worse for his experience.

Renviile, Mimi. April 20.--Prompt
action by Deputy Sheriff Sam Warn
er prevented serious trouble at Hector,
near here last night. Two men al
legged to be pro-German were threat
ened with lynching by a mob of angry
citizens who charged that the men had
made disloyai remarks.
The men, Gus Yajer and Herman

charges OF disloyalty. They denied the
charge to the county attorney and
bought Liberty bonds. Then they re-
turned to Hector. On Friday resi-
dents Of Hector decided TO take more
strenuous action against the men.
Deputy Warner was notified and ar
rived before anybody was hurt. The
men were brought TO Renyille. until
the excitement subsided. They were
released today.
