BUREAU OF MINES
 PRODUCING RADIUM

As the result of ap agreement be- tween the National Radium Institute and the Bureau of Mines, Depart ment of the Interior, to develop a more efficient process for the manu- facture of radium from carnotite ores .of Colorado and Utah, the bureau now has as it's share more than S1S0,000 worth of radium for use in the scien- ,ces. This was procured for an expen- allure of less than $39,000.
 In addition, under the agreement, the Bureau of Mines has turned over to the National Radium Institute |about 1-2 grams of radium, and has given to the country a method for producing pure radium compound from the ore for as little as one-third the current price of radium.
 When the Bureau of Mines began this work in 1912, it found that the precious carnotite ore, constituting the largest known supply of radium ore in the world, was going to Eu- rope, mainly to Germany, where it was being turned into radium and sold back to the United States at fab ulous prices.-Scientific American.

NEW MACHINERY
 HACKBERRY MINE

Last Monday Granger and Chappell hauled one of the big engines from Blackberry to the new mill at the Blackberry mine. The engine weighed over nine tons, stripped to the cylin- ders, and was delivered in the mill in quick order. This is the first of the big engines that will make up the mill and power plant units for the Hack berry Consolidated Mines.
 Quite number of Kingman peo- pie went up to Blackberry to look over the new plant as far as completed and also to look through the big mine. G. IS. Holmes and William Neagle con- ducted the men through the property and the mill, and they were all sur prised with the extent and scope of the big enterprise.

DROUTH CAUSES
 CATTLE SHIPMENTS

Cattlemen in the south part of the state are shipping their cattle to pas ture lands in other states on account of short feed caused by drouth. In some parts of the country, close to the Mexican line the drouth is so ac- cute that feeding has to be resorted to until the cattle can be gotten away from the range. In Mohave county, and in fact all over the northern part of the state the ranges are in ex cellent condition and instead of losses the cattlemen are enjoying great prosperity. The rains have been gen. eral, extending from California into New Mexico and quite a distance north and south of the 35th paral- Tel.

SHORT CREEK
Special Correspondence to the Mohave County Miner

Mir. and Mrs. Gutshall, MT. and Mrs. Cowgirl and Mrs. Mcdowell have gone up Little Zion canyon for weeks outing.
 MT. and Mrs. Isaac Carling, Mrs. Goodwin, Mir. and Mrs. McLoyd Laur- itzen, Tennyson Lauritzen and Reed Lauritzen have all gone to St. George to attend the Fruit Festival.
 The people here were quite disap- pointed in not having any Primary election. The election supplies failed to arrive. We are trying to find out who is to blame. There was no cleo tion at Moccasin for the same reason.
 Sheep are beginning to come into the state from Utah. The feed on the range is good.
 J. w. Lauritzen is building an ad- dition to his residence.
 Frank Johnson, who recently re- turned from Salt Fury has gone to Hurricane on business.
 Short Creek is rapidly becoming noted as first aid station for disabled autos on the lower or antelope road. Nearly every week recently McLoyd Lauritzen, who owns the only car here, has had to tow car or carry it's occupants to the nearest town. The antelope road make big detour into the desert to avoid the sand along the Short Creek wash. If party has an accident on this road it usually takes about day before help can be had. In the meantime most of the party is forced to remain with the car and at times the experience is not the most pleasant. Recently, lady and small boy spent the night on this desert.
 During the darkness they were sur rounded by five coyotes which fright ened them but did not harm them. It looks like public interest and safety would demand that Utah, and Arizona get together and spend few hundred dollars which would put the road through the settlements between Hur. ricane and Fredonia in better shape than the antelope road and besides making auto travel possible would aic in the development of the country. The road through the settlements is fiji. teen miles shorter than the other roac and someone lives along it every few miles and then there is a telephone line so that assistance can easily bt had in case of necessity. There is 2 mining company on the Buckskir mountain which is preparing to shil its ores by auto truck to Lund, Utah and they are willing to repair one o, these roads preferably the roat through the settlements as it will b. the permanent road, the other being travelled through necessity not choice
 Most of the sand is in Mohave coun ty and the residents here are beginn ing to feel that they are entitled tt more consideration in the matter o1 roads. They feel that they ought tt receive pro rata of road money witt the rest of the county according tt population. The so called "Strip" ha. paid tribute to the rest of Mohavt county for good many years. Nov that it is being settled larger pro portion of the taxes paid should bt spent here

 Dear MT. and Mrs. C. A. Shea: Just few lines to let ycu know that I am alive and think of you folks.
 Since my arrival Aere Dec. 8, 1917, I was sent to one os England's best domes for practical instruction in aeronautics and flying and one day while flying for ny test the wing broke off the airp!a2e end fell over thousand feet to n,otl1er earth, sus- taining severe injury to my arms and legs. I was confiGod to British hos pital for over three months and have been at this camp for over two months so you can see ! i.s.,T,2 had a long sick spell.
 Two weeks ago discarded my crutches and am .ioyI using a cane. "All Englishmel wear canes" You know the old saying goes, When in Rome, do as Rome does. #..
 Bally old H'lEngiand is a beautiful country and wish you and Mrs. Shea could bring the little six over here for thirty day tour. We could have a royal time.
 Since my arrival here in England I have had the pleasure of going to London and various other places of interest and l can t,uthfully say the English people are very receptive and hospitable to the Tanks.
 This convalescelt camp for Amer ican boys is maintained by the Sel- fridge family and as they are Amer jeans from Chicago, naturally we are treated like sons.
 This camp is only few miles from all of the famous South Sea resorts and you can bet am frequent visitor to them.
 Every morning take dip in the English channel and other such sports.
 I have often thought of you folks and how kind and loyal you were to me and 1 only hope l will meet you both again to continue friendship begun long ago.
 In the course of a few weeks l will join my squadron in France and believe me I am sure going to get a few of Fritz or Jerry's scalps. At this time of writing our boys are "giving lem help, and that is not all they will receive from the Tanks.
 I would like very much to give you a few of my experiences since leaving N, Y. but am afraid our kind friend the censor will object. Herb is quar- terrhaster Sergeant at Vancouver, Wash. and is doing fine.
 am holding the highest non com missioned rank in the U. s. Army, M. S./E., meaning technical Sergeant Major and my pay is that of com missioned officer.
 We'll Judge, write me long letter end also have Mrs. Shea do likewise.
 Let me know how the mine is get ting along and the said Buick.
 Remember me to all my brother Elks at Kingman and friends.
 Hoping this finds you and Mrs. Shea living in the best of health and prosperity. remain ..... | Vour cincere friend
