GERMANS WARNED
 OF HARDER TIMES
Populance Advised to Make Pre-. parations for Another Winter
 of Fighting.

NEW YORK-The German people are being warned that they must prepare for another winter of war. In announcing that this was prob able, Conrad Haussman, a progress sive member of the German reich tag, said in a speech at Stuttgart as reported by the Berlin Tageblatt, that it is necessary to give the warning to prevent public disap- pointment. Germany, he said, saw through the desire of the Prussian upper house to rule the empire. Never, he added, will salvation come from these super-Prussians. The Prussian upper house was arming to storm against Kuehlmann foreign minister) and the imperial govern ment. Kuehlmann had fallen into the bad graces of the supermen. He was exposed to concentrated at tack of those who considered nego- tiations during which one pounds the table as the most salutary.

Committee Votes For National Prohibition During
 Coming Year.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Notwith- standing the fact that Chairman Hurley and Bainbridge Colby, of the Shipping Board, are vigorously opposing prohibition on the grounds that it will interfere with the work of shipbuilding, the senate agri- cultural committee has agreed to an amendment to the eleven billion dollar emergency agricultural appro- priation bill, providing for national prohibition. The manufacture of whiskey and wine is to be prohibited after June 30, 1919, and the manu- facture and sale of beer is to be prohibited three months after the final approval of the bill by the President.
 Members of the Shipping Board declare that if the shipyard workers are unable to get beer when they want it, the work of the yards will suffer to the extent of twenty-five per cent. Chairman Hurley told the members of the house agricul- tural committee the other day, in opposing a similar amendment pend- ing before that body, that the pres ent is no time to experiment with prohibition on a national scale

 Making Slight Adjustment on D Line.

The location party camped near 20-Mile, under Resident Engineer Kenneth Case and Howard G. Has lem with their respetcive staffs, have been engaged during the past few days in making slight revision of the original survey of the new railroad location, known as the D line.
 The revision is merely to make small adjustment of the first sur vey line and will not materially affect the line as it now stands. The work is expected to be finished on Saturday.
 A wagon road is now being con- structed from the old right of way near the camp at 2O-Mile for a dis tance of about eight miles to the new location, for the purpose of having the material and supplies now at the 2O-Mile camp hauled to the new line.

"The National Council of Defense has asked each State Council of De- fense to give its most careful and rigid scrutiny to all movements for the pur- pose or raising money from the public, and to discourage in every possible manner all such movements that do not have for their object the direct support of the war program"
 This was the statement made by Dr. James A. B. Scherer, who return ed to Pasadena yesterday for a two days stay, after speaking trip that reached many parts of the United States.

Last Saturday a large number of boys commandeered the Brawn-Rob- inson truck and the Bonelli jitney and proceeded to announce the arrival of the carnival in Kingman. They had 9 megaphone and were making rapid progress when a collision between the jitney and the truck, at the corner of Third and Front streets put a stop to the parade. The truck was bowl ing along in front of the jitney at good speed, when for some reason the driver decided to stop. The jitney driver was unable to stop in time and plunged into the truck, dumping a few of the boys into the street. Some of them received severe shocks and bruises, but none of them were badly hurt.

BLACKBERRY IN NEW ORE ON
 45O-F[. LEVEL

The crosscut on the 45O level of the
 Blackberry mine has cut into three and half feet of ore that runs over 1OS ounces silver to the ton. This body of org has been opened for a length of 8 Effect, but it is expected to reach the same length as that on the 600. On the 600 level the smaller ore shoots give results above 25O ounces silver and heavy in lead. The larger ore bodies carry average values
 of approximately 25 ounces silver to the ton. These ore bodies are from ten to fifteen feet in width and have been opened for long distanc on the vein. The new ore body on the 750 level is also of the same general character as that above, with the ex- ceptiOn that it carries heavy lead and zinc. On the 45O level the ore shows well in ruby silver and carries values as high as $250 to the ton.
 It is reported that the company is now shaping matters up to begin the erection of the large milling plant. Enough ore is now in sight to keep the proposed plant in ore for a year or more.
 A note contained in letter from prominent mining engineer of the state of Arizona was received by the Miner this week, under Jerome, Ari- zona, headline containing the follow ing excerpt:
 q have written you requesting 10 copies of your issue of the 16th inst. l have been particularly interested in pour articles on the Blackberry mine. From a personal inspection of this quite agree with you that it bids fair to become the greatest sil- yer property in this southwest coun- try"
Mohave County miner., 1918-03-30

Good Springs country, and as the Mo
 Cracken ores are somewhat similar the
 machines should do good work on the
 ore. Tests have also been made that
 have given great satisfaction.
 The McCracken country has long been known as the richest silver-lead section of the county. The veins are large and continuous, especially in the matter of ore bearing. The property of the McCracken Silver Mines com pany is part of the great vein sys- tenn running through the big proper ties, and should become immense pro- ducers of both lead and silver. So far little zinc has shown up in the ores, although this metal will probably be- come of importance in future develop ments. The fact that the silver oc- CUTS disassociated with the lead and that it often is immensely high in grade is a feature of the big vein. Again, the lead in the ore predomi- mates over the silver values. Samples of concentrates give values running several hundred ounces silver and about 50 per cent lead. This would be the ordinary results of concentra- tion of the ores from the property, which would make it a very valuable shipping product. The general run of the ores could be shipped with little cobbing, especially outside of the larg- CT ore shoots. Streaks of high grade can be found in all parts of the mine, but there would still be thousands of tons of ore that would have to be dressed up to make it merchantable. Like the main McCracken ore body the mines of this company would surely develop great bodies of milling ore. The company is well financed, and has good men at the head of affairs.
