WILL MAKE RACE
 FOR STATE SENATOR

Charles Derrick, of Oatman, IS m the race for state senator to be voted for by the Democrats at the primaries in September. MT. Derrick has been secretary of the Oatman Miners union the past seven or eight years and Tn that capacity has made good. Not only has he made good in respect to hls du- ties to his fellow laborers, but he has also made good to the people of the camp by using his every effort Tn maintaining peace between employer and employe and aiding in the upbuild- ing of the community. He has been ac- tive in all the Liberty loans and Red Cross work and has been one of the most loyal of the workers in the big gold camp. If elected he will give the whole of Mohave county the attention it deserves in the next session of the legislature.

GOLD TRAIL
 MAY OPERATE

J. A. McNIillan of the Gold Trail Mining company, was in Kingman last week on his way to Denver. He stated to the Miner editor that it was the intention of the company to reor- ganize and later begin development on the property. The mines are north of Little Meadows, and were known as the McKesson property. A shaft and long tunnel are on the property and it is probable that the tunnel will be driven in on the vein a considerable distance. While some excellent kid neys of ore has been found in the property the rich streaks have not been regular. Considerable good grade milling ore is now in sight and larger developments may bring to light bet ter bodies of ore.

COME OUT OF
 THE BUSCHES

One million dollars is the sum agents of the United States report to have been invested by the Busch heirs in German bonds. The son of Mrs Busch states that had he known the use to which the money was to have been put there would have been no in vestment, but he will have a hard time convincing the American people that this is true. The Busch millions were made in America, but had they been given time every dollar of it would have been in Germany. Ma dame Busch made all haste to get back to the United States, but too late to save the estate. And now it is prob able that young Mir. Busch will have to explain some things about the man. ner of the millions invested under German direction in this country for propaganda.

THE
 WASHING1ON.ARIz.

This week W. G. Page has been in Kingman strengthening out and get ting the affairs of the Washington Arizona Mining company in shape so that operations may be resumed on the property without a hitch. The new company is said to be well financed and capable of doing a large amount of work on the mines.
 The Washington-Arizona company mas a large milling plant on the mines and so far has opened up large ton mage of ore. This reserve will be fur tner augmented by the driving Of drifts into the mountain and sinking the shaft to several hundred feet be- low the present level. The property is one of the most promising in the Mineral Park section and it is to be hoped that the new company under its able management will put it on pro ducing basis.

RICH ORE
 IN BERKELY MINE

T. J. Sparkes, who has charge of operations on the Berkely mine, in the Deluge Wash section, reports the un- covering of a veiE of ore in the old property at a depth of IS feet that cave results fl aho1+ 50 ouEces si'- yer. The vein at that point is six feet wide and gives every indication of per manency. The work of carrying this shaft to a considerable depth is be- ing rushed.
 Some years ago the Berkely mine wa Considered one of the best silver properties in the Cedar Valley mining district. It was discovered by Tibucio Padillo, well known miner and pros pector. Mir. Padillo worked on the large vein in the property and shipped a considerable tonnage of rich ore. When the property passed to the pos session of others a shaft was sunk on a. small vein, paralleling the larger vein, but no ore worth while was open ed. No attempt was made to connect up the two veins, although they cannot be more than 20 feet apart. The de- velopment carried on by the old Mex ican is within 50 feet of the new shaft and it is probable that this part of the property will now be connected up. The mine looks mighty good and we believe the people now in charge of 1t will soon have it on a producing basis.

ARRESTEDON A SERIOUS
 CHARGE

Dick Highfield, at one time 9 pro- moter in Oatman, where he got into some difficulties, was arrested at Low ell last Saturday, on statutory charge of rape. It is alleged that he mistreated little girl of Il years of age, whom he represented to be his daughter. Inquiry into the matter dis closed the fact that sometime ago Highfield advertised for a girl to raise and a woman at Santa Monica sent her little daughter, Lois Belcher, to him. His address at the time was said to be Globe, and the girl was car ried to Bowie junction, where High field found her and told her that he was the man she was to live with. He took her to Globe and other places, f. nally going to Lowell, where his arrest occurred. The girl told the officers that Highfield had slept in the same room with her for a few nights and then the two used the same bed the balance of the two weeks that she had been mistreated by the man. The mother was communicated with and she reported that the father of the child and she had separated and that she had parted with her believing that Highfield would treat her right and give her a good home.
 Highfield had his examination in Bisbee last Tuesday and waived exam ination and was held to the superior court in bonds of S6OOO, which he was unable to give. He IS now Tn the Tombstone jail.
 About six weeks ago Highfield was in Kingman and represented that he was a non-commissioned officer at Camp Kearny on furlough. We be- lieve he had a woman and little girl with him at the time. A few years ago Hightower was arrested on charge of cattle stealing in COchise county and sentenced to two years Tn the pen. He was pardoned or paroled after serving a few months and Joined the U. s. forces on the border. Before getting into the army he forged some checks but the charge was not pressed against him. He was called into the army at Camp Kearny, but was dis charged about two months ago.
 About year ago Highfield came to Kingman and represented himself as the agent of big moving picture con cern that wished to establish studio here. He looked over several places and concluded that he would return to Los Angeles and get the people lined up. This studio was to cost about s5O.OOO and would employ about 100 artists. The matter was not followed far by the people of Kingman and Highfield went in for other lines. He appeared to have an infatuatiOn for young girls and tried always to be Tn their company. Arizona does not look kindly upon these degenerates and 1t is more than probable that he will get his when his case goes before Jury

NEW COMPENSATION LAW
 ADVOCATED BY DONNELLY

John L. Donnelly, representing the state federation of labor, was a King man visitor Wednesday last in the interest of the proposed constitutional amendment providing for the compen- sation of men injured in their employ ment, and which is designed to take the place of the present imperative law. NIT. Donnelly stated to the Mi ner editor that he believed this to be one of the most comprehensive liabil- ity laws ever offered to the people of any state, surpassing the excellent law in California.
 He departed to Oatman Thursday. where he looked over and talked over the labor and wage situation at that place. He was of the opinion that the federal mediator would settle all diff ferences between the employer and workman satisfactorily and that there would be no dissatisfaction on either side. At Jerome the federal mediator would have the wage issue adjusted soon and that in fact there would be no schisn between employer and em- ploye ir the state.
 Mir. Donnelly is a ikeable man and is an advocate of peace between the two elements necessary to public well fare, the employer and emplOye.

STANDARD MINERALS
 OPENS RICH VEIN

The Standard Minerals company opened a rich vein of ore in the cross cut from the 300 level toward the west, samples of which are on display in the Miner office. The vein was en- countered atout 15 feet from the sta tion, although it was not thought that any ore would be found until some dis tance further was reached. The com pany sunk to the new level since the reorganization and intends to go to the 500 as soon as possible. In the old .crosscut the ore found was fairly well impregnated with copper and carried gold ana silver values. The present ore is rich in molybdenite and indi- caUes that with greater depth an inn mense body of ore should be found. Leaching is still in evidence, but the ore is rich, nevertheless.
 The property of the Standard Min erals company is situated about "A miles east of Kingman, on the north west slope of the Wallapais. The first locations in the group were made along a copper bearing vein, but de- velopment soon indicated that great vein of molybdenite ore existed throughout the biotite belt, in which the vein was situated. The present work is on the upper part of the vein system and considerable depth is nee essary to arrive at the horizon where teaching has ceased and where a sec oadary enrichment has taken place. The company is reported to be well fi- nanced and capable of developing the property to @ considerable depth.

COHENOUR
 SUED FOR SlO,0OO

This week Michael F. Shannon of Los Angeles, and Judge c. L. Lewis of Kingman, filed suit against Sher- if J. N. Cohenour on behalf of Mrs. George Smith, of Oatman, for the sum of S1O,OOO. The complaint alleges that George W. Smith, husband of com plainant, met his death at the hands of Frank Lacey, and that Lacey was the deputy of said Sheriff CohenOur. It recites succinctly the details of the tragedy and sets out that said Smith was unlawfully and wrongfully depriv- ed of his life and that Mrs. Smith was damaged in the sum of S10,000 by the unlawful death of her husband.
 The readers of this paper are fa- miliar with the details of the case, es- pecially the manner in which Smith met his death. Just how far the re- sponsibility of the sheriff extends in the affair is problematical.

Sandifur are on the ground getting af- fairs in shape for active operations, and as Mir. Sandifur is an old driller we expect to hear of rapid progress in the field. r. is probable that sore hard ground viii be encountered, but it will not be much different from that around Lima, Ohio, in the lime belt.

HONOR GROSS FOR VALIANT
 SERVICE

Charles Lenoir, hero of Verdun, is now at the camp on Walnut Creek, where he expects to work and recuper- ate and return to the battle front. Several years prior to the war Lenoir was in the 0atman field and when the war broke out he hurried to France and joined the Blue Devils,' Or what is known in military circles as the Chasseurs Alpine. He was all through the Alsace campaigns and changed over to the Verdun front, where he fought throughout 1916 and 1917, be- ing wounded twice in that memorable battle. He was sent to the hospital and as soon as he had recovered suffi- ciently went back to the trenches and was again wounded. After four months in the hospital he was dis charged as unfit for further military duty. He returned to Oatman last December and worked in a restaurant.
 Lenoir was decorated with two medals of honor and one ribbon. An older brother was killed at the battle of the Marne. His parents and one sister are still living in Lyons, France. He wants to get back into the army and stay to the finish, but owing to his physical condition it is improbable that he will be again be taken into the service. He is game to fight and it is to be hoped that his health will per init him to return to the battle.

POSTING FLATS

This week S. E. Guthrey, the we'll known Kingman surveyor, went out to the Scanlon mines, in the Lost Basin district, where he posted notices and plats upon the mining claims which are being patented by Mrs. Scanlon. These claims are close to the old Scanlon ferry and have been develop ed to a considerable extent. Many favorable reports have been made on the property by compentent mining engineers and it is probable that af- ter patent it may be taken over by large mining interests.

CAPTURES BIG
 WHISKEY CARGO

Last Wednesday evening Deputy Sheriff J. w. Harris arrested John (Shorty) Simpson and Jim Brown for having a cargo of booze in their pos session. The arrest was made at the Myrtle Moore place, lover the hill" !" at an early hour in the evening. Simp- scn and Brown had gone to Needles and brought back five cases of liquor. This is supposed to have been brought to iKngman for distribution from some other source than Simpson and Brown, although so far the real distributors are unknown. Simpson waived pre- liminary hearing and Brown will have a hearing next Monday.

GOLD ROAD
 CLOSES DOWN

Owing to some unknown reason the Gold Road mine and mill ceased oper- ations this week, putting out of em- pioyment about 75 men. It was un- derstood that the company would soon be employing over 200 men and the big gold camp again brought into the limelight. For reasons known only to the main office the order was sent to the mine to close down tight. The company had just purchased a carload of cyanide and had installed a new milling plant, and was overhauling and putting in shape the old mill when the order came. It is to be hoped that the shutdown will be but temporary.

KINGMAN STORES
 ON CASH BASIS

With the beginning of the first of August the mercantile houses of King man are to go on a cash basis. While we believe that a cash and carry home should be the best method of doing business it is still uncertain that it will be looked upon with favor by the ordinary householder. One thin gwill result and that is that the housewife will surely Hooverize on everything possible and the country fellow is lia- ble to do considerable business outside of the towns of the state.
 The Miner believes absolutely in dealing at home, but when merchants purchase everything without the state the individual is not to be blamed when he goes where he also can buy cheaper. Take the printing of the merchants and business men of the town. Practically all of it is pur- chased from the eastern print shops, where they can save few beans on each shipment. If every man in Mo- have county did likewise where would the merchant get off at? Yet the merchant asks all to patronize their houses but they are immune from the same game

Last Thursday morning Fred L. Co., henour was badly injured by a.broncho horse which he was breaking running into a tree. He was swept from the saddle and two ribs broken and he was otherwise injured. The limb of the tree struck him in the stomach. He was cut and bruised in the back by the ter rible fall to the ground.

BIG INCREAsE IN PROPERTY

The tax showing Tn Marlcopa county is far better than in 1917, the increase being in excess of S15,000,000. The entire taxable property of the state will show an increase over that of last year, although many of the business hocses have been hard hit by the war Mining industries and railroads neces- sarily show big increases, and next year the increase will be more pro nounced on account of the big prices of metal, and increases in freight rates.

WILL TEST AUTO SEIZURES

A number of automobiles that have been seized under the law relating to the unlawful carrying of liquor in au- tos, IS soon to be tested out in the courts. The owners contend that an automobile may be rented for legal purposes and that the machine may then be used for unlawful purpose without their knowledge and consent and that therefore no Responsibility should rest upon the owner.

WHO OILED THE WELL?

We have been somewhat amused with the reports that come stragglinb Tn from the oil fields of the country, where no wells have as yet been brought in, about the oil that is found on the waters of John Does well and the bubbles that are brought up in the sand pump and burst when they reach the scrface, scattering oil films all over the surface of the water and sands. The fellows who give out this dope would not know a real oil well if it was exhibited to them, and no real oil man is giving out that kind of stuff to the public.

ONLY DEMOCRATIC PAPER

The Mohave County Miner is the only Democratic paper in Mohave county, and if candidates wish to have their names get before the Democratic voters they will have to use it's col Umns. Those who serve the Republi- can paper at Oatman are not true blue Democrats and the party should pay no attention to them in the coming primaries. Real Democrats support their newspaper, not that of the oppo- sition.

WILL COMNIANDEER ALL STEEL

The United States government has ordered all steel companies to hold their product subject to the order of the various boards which have con- tracts inao which steel may go and no sales may be made to those not engag- ed in war work. The manufacturers now are well satisfied with the prices established, and well they should be, as every pound of iron ore is costing them just the same as before the war, the contracts for ore having life of 100 years at a fixed price.
