MOHAvE'S MINES
 GREAT ACTIVITY

Considerable excitement is being i manifested in Mohave county owing to the recent rich strikes of silver, lead and moly ores and of re- ported seepage of oil in the Flynn oil district in the northwestern part of the county along the Colorado river. Hundreds of acres have been filed on in the past several weeks and the county recorder at kingman is doing d rushing business.
 In the Blackberry district, Gus Holmes, representing Salt Lake capi- talists, is opening up considerable property and has placed orders for machinery in large quantities, it being reported they will spend $100,000 for machinery alone.
 East of Yucca in the Cedar district the Berkley Silver property is being exploited by Phoenix capitalists, and the early production of this property was very high grade silver ores.
 Several properties north of King man are starting up, especially is this true in the Chloride district. Here the famous Tennessee and Schuylkill have joined forces and have representatives back east making arrangements for machinery for mill of sufficient ca pacity to handle the ore for both prop
 
 the Tennessee has a record of ship ping about $20,000,000 worth of ore, and it is said they have that much or more in sight. These two prop critics, as well as the Bullion, are electrifying their equipment. The Tennessee and Schuylkill are work ing small forces of men and as soon as they can get their mill equipment will rush things to completion and expect to be running full handed and three shifts inside of 90 days. The Bullion is under lease and will start up within ten days. The Elkhart, which has produced over a million dollars, with deepest workings of 800 feet, has been leased and the lessees are east now arranging for equipment to work this promising property on Q large scale. This same company has taken over the Argyle and re- gently installed a 50-horse gas engine and are busy taking out the water from the 1S0foot shaft preparatory to developing the property on larger scale. Mir. Scott, in charge of actual work on the ground, is an experienced mining man and is sure their company will soon be on permanent shipping | basis.
 The Chloride Queen, joining the Elkhart ground on the north, has just completed the installation of Chi cago pneumatic compressor, AT feet, capable of handling four jack ham, mers and 50 gallons a minute pump; also installed a 60-horsepower Besse- mer engine, besides other machinery. This gives this company equipment sufficient to sink to the 1,000-foot level and run their drifts. A num- Der of experienced mining men have inspected this property recently and are sure this company will soon enter the permanent shipping class. Su- l perintendent Sam R. Rhea, who has

the credit for opening up the famous Tennessee and other well known properties in this section, is positive the Chloride Queen will develop into one of the richest, if not the largest and richest, mines in the entire dis trict The recent rich strikes made on this property are surely opening the eyes of the mining world to the district The main shaft is down 220 feet, and at 200 feet permanent water level was reached, necessitating the

FRANK W. sHEDD OPENS OFFICE
 FUR GENERAL REALTY BUSINESS

frank W. Shedd who recently opened offices in the Adams hotel building under the firm name of Frank W. Shedd & Co.,, has been connected in the real estate business in Phoenix for several years. At one time he was associated with the of flee of Greene x Griffin. Severing his relations with that concern he formed partnership with the land attorney, Fen <. Hildreth. They opened large office in Los Angeles with Mir. Shedd in charge.
 The company carried on an active campaign in which they succeeded in selling many thousands of acres of Arizona land. These sales were in-

installation of compressor and pumps. Considerable shipping ore is in sight and the intention is to sink to the 300-foot level, crosscut and drift with the veins east and west, north and south, as this shaft is sunk at the intersection O fthese veins. At this level, by drifting west under the large hill, the company will have a depth of 150 to $50 feet. Three hundred feet above the collar of the shaft and up the hill the company has a tunnel 220

feet cross cutting the vein at the depth of 40 feet, which shows a low grade mineraliZed vein about 70 feet in width. There seems to be no doubt to mining men but that the drifts run at the 300-foot level will ope nup large bodies of rich silver lead ores, and the company will be shipping steadily within 90 days. Sev- eral stockholders living in the Salt River Valley visited the Chloride Queen property in the past week and

made a wise investment.
 The company is making arrange ments with a Utah man to put in a mill, and should this not go through, the ore will be hauled one mile to the railroad and shipped to Selby and other smelter points.
 There is considerable stir in the Chloride district owing to several rich strikes, and the next 30 10 90 days will see things booming.

younng gentleman came to this Office

several stores and the clerks named

except 'Chamberlain's. I'll try again,
and I'll never go home without Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The Republican
would suggest to the proprietors of
stores, that they post their clerks, and
never let them substitute. Customers
lose faith in stores where substituting
is permitted, to say nothing of the in
justice to makers Of good goods and
the disappointment Of customers.-Adv.

a letter from which it appears

be carried out wherever possible.

Five Dollar Bills Selling for Sab.

Five Dollar Bills Selling for Sab.
The United States Government
is selling $500 War Savings
Stamps at Sab in February,
81. IA in March, raising the price
one cent a month throughout the
year. People of this State should
be impressed with the fact that
a S.. 90 bill today will not buy as
much or as many of the pleasures
of life for which we save money
as will a War Savings Stamp
when it natures on Jan. /, 1923.
The war cannot be fought with
paper money; we cannot wad up
a $500 bill and shoot it at the
Kaiser and do any damage; that
bill is merely a demand for wheat,
or wool, or gasoline, or some 9TH
er material which our govern
ment actually needs to success
fully win the war, so the wise
thing for US to do is not to spend
money. but loan it to the govern
ment, get A per cent interest
compounded quarterly, for it,
and then five years from now
the government will cash the
stamp and we will have the mon
then it will buy more of the
things which we want than it
will to-day.
1t is not only good sense but it
is patriotic" as well to buy War
Savings Stamps.

New Orleans, Feb. 26, 1918

New Orleans, Feb. &c, 1918.
Messrs. j. H. Walker & Son, Pollock
Gentlemen = Answering your
letter of the 18th instant, we beg
to advise that the rule of the
Food Administrator regarding
the sale of -four provides that
one-eighth to one-quarter barre
may be sold in the city with d
like amount of flour substitutes,
the list of which is attached
hereto.
Rural customers may be sold
one-quarter to one-half barrel,
and it has been ruled that where
a rural customer will make an
affidavit. to the effect that he has
on hand an equal amount of subj
stitutes, the sale may be made
without the substitutes. The
certificate or affidavit should
state the quantity of substitutes
he has on hand. as. well as .th,.
nature Of same, and should be
required in each case where a
sale is made without an equal
quantity of substitutes.
1t is the intention of the rule
to confine each customer to a
quantity not exceeding thirty
days supply of wheat flour.
Hoarding is not permitted.
We are sure that the merchants
of this entire State, practically
without exception, desire to
heartily cooperate with the gov
eminent in applying the rules
for food conservation, and where
differences arise, such as you
mention, we believe the most
helpful remedy would be for all
of the merchants of the parish
to get together at meeting call
ed for the purpose of discussing
the problem of food conservation,
fully informing those who appear
not to be familiar with the appli-
cation of the rules, and agreeing
to uniformly cooperate in assist
ing the government in seeing
that these rules are carried into
effect.
We believe that one or two pa.
triotic merchants could get to-
gether in any community and is
sue a call which would be hearth
ly responded to by the merchants
of their parish or neighborhood.
Yovrs very truly,
JNo. M. PARKER,
Food Admir-. for Louisiana.

extension forces, in an eloquent
address before an overlooking
audience of farmers, merchants
and bankers at Ruston Tuesday,
outlined Louisiana's plain. patri-
otto duty relative to increased
production this year of food and
feed crops.
In putting the situation square
ly up to the North Louisiana peo-
pie, so everybody may have a
true knowledge of why it is alb
solutely necessary for Louisiana
and the rest of the South to grow
more food and feed than ever be-
foe, DR.. Knapp said: Russia
was forced out of the war simply
because her common people were
hungry and wanted something to
eat, and if England. France or
Italy is forced to quit on account
of a food shortage and it is not
entirely improbable the burden
that will be placed upon this
country will be heavier still.
We must produce enough food in
the United States in 1918 to sus-
tain the. civil population. of the
United States and to keep our
army and navy in full fighting
vigor. But we must do more
than that. We must supplement
the depleted resources of Eng
land, France and Italy. If their
civil population and their armies
are reduced to want and hunger,
as Russia was, there is the grav-
est kind of danger that we would
go down in defeat.
DR.. Knapp did not ask for a
reduction of the cotton acreage,
but he declared it would be un-
patriotic and plainly profiteering
for any farmer to increase cotton
acreage this year at the expense
of food and feed crops, because,
apparently, cotton will sell for a
high price.
Louisiana must either feed her.

cry, he said. The corn belt
states which have been supply
ing Louisiana with corn. oats,
flour, meat. lard and dairy pro-
ducts for many years will send
their surplus production across
the seas this year; the war situa-
ton demands that this be done.
Even if the corn belt does pro-
duce enough food and feed to
spare the South its usual bit, the
governments demand of the
country's railroads would not
permit the movement Of cars to
the South.
He said: ITO fail to produce
our own food means not only
drawing upon the stores of the
North and West to feed these
States in the South when those
stores are sorely needed for 9TH
er purposes, but it means a bur-
den upon transportation which
no patriotic citizen of the South
should for one moment tolerate.
We now have an army of 1000
600 men under arms. 1t takes
approximately 124, $50 railroad
cars to transport that army and
its bare equipment one trip with
out any duplication. To feed
that army will take 1,704, $50

would take IS, PIG railway cars
