WILL ENTERTAIN
 SOLDIER BOY

George w. Mark will give dinner to a few of his intimate friends and associates this evening in honor of Pete Vukoye, who leaves tonight for Camp Cody, New Mexico, with others oi the Mohave contingent. Mr. Vu- koye has been in charge of the de- velopment of the Missouri -Mohave company's property at Cerbat, of which Mir. Mark is the general man. ager, and the little dinner is a testi- mOny of the esteem in which Mir. Vu- kOye is held by Mir. Mark and asso- ciates.
 Pete VukOye had several brothers in the Servian army, who are supposed to have been killed. His father was among those who made the retreat from Monastir and since that date nothing has been heard from him. Pete feels like averaging the deaths of his relatives and will make an excel lent fighting man. It is to be hoped that he will return to Mohave county after the war, as he is a good citizen and splendid fellow.

RED GROSS LOYALTY
 SHOWN BY MOHAVE

That Mohave county is loyal to the Red Cross is shown in the returns from every section. Valentine, which has only few government employees, sent in more than S20O, Mrs. Riggs looking to it that every one within reach contributed their mite to the Mercy fund. This good woman has been one of the best workers the Red Cross has in its membership, and the people of Mohave county will regret to learn that she and Dr. Riggs will soon remove to another sphere of work.
 Yucca, Chloride, Sandy, Oatman, Goldroad and in fact every camp in the county has gone over the top. At Oatman it is said that every employe of the mining companies was a sub scriber. Kingman was the biggest sub scriber of any place in the county, its total being above S5000. Oatman was was the next with subscription of over $3000. The Standard minerals camp was 100 per cent, as it was for the Liberty Loan, which shows that loyal men and women have their habita- tion there. And really we feel proud of Kingman and the splendid service of its committee of mercy. Few men or women failed to come through with a donation, as the total amount brought in will indicate.
 Many camps are still to be heard from and the total amount will ex- ceed $10,0O0 for the county. Its quota was S70OO.

RED GROSS RALLY
 ENTHUSIASTIC AFFAIR

The rally at Elks' hall Monday eve ming for the purpose of starting off the Red Cross drive with some momen- tum was all that its sponsors could have wished.
 c. W. Maier, of Oatman, made the address of the evening, and that he had his subject well in hand was evil denced by the rousing applause he re- ceiyed.
 Matthew Dennis sang a number of songs, and his singing elicited great appreciation from the audience. The stunts of the Girls club was also a feature of the evenings entertain ment. Mrs. Guy Mensch is deserving of great praise for the excellent man. ner in which she has handled the young girls and the perfection of her
 rills.
 The people of Kingman and the Red Cross chapter owe Mir. Maier a debt of gratitude for coming to Kingman for this occasion and es- pecially for the patriotic enthusiasm he aroused by his loyal advocacy of backing up the government in it's war work.

THE ENGINEER
 QUOTA FILLED

w. D. Grannis this week completed the entry of the necessary number of applications in the 27th engineering corps to have a recruiting officer come here for their induction into the serv- ice. Thursday last he received a wire from Lieut.. Col. O. B. Perry, comman- dant at Camp Meade, that as soon as possible an officer would be sent to Kingman to examine and induct the men into the service. Just when the officer will arrive here has not been stated, but it is expected he will be here within the next ten days.

 ELECTRIZE ITS
 MILLING PLANT

MT. Robertson, who visited the Le- viathan mines this week, in company of A. J. Brawley, W. c. Gould and son, William, J. H. Conway and others, came here for the purpose of estimat- ing the cost of putting in a power plant in Kingman for the transmission of power to the mines below Copper vile. MT. Robertson is said to be one of the largest contractors of electrical plants in the country and on his esti- mate the company will depend for the erection of its plant. The company is now depending on oil for power, but this is expensive, especially in the matter of shutdowns and delays. With power from central station the com- pany could add several units to its milling plant. which at thd present time is greatly needed. The present plant is capable of handling about 50 tons of ore daily, while the mine can deliver more than 300 tons of ore for the next year or more. A big plant is a necessity at the Leviathan and it is to be hoped that the power plant will be put in.
 Other mines in the district could be supplied with power from a large plant and it is more than probable that something will be done in the matter of this installation ia the near future.

THE ARIZONA LEGISLATURE
 IN SESSION

The legislature of Arizona is in ses- sion at Phoenix, having been called together to pass a number of what the governor has considered impera- tive measures.
 Yesterday the two houses ratified the national prohibition amendment to the federal constitution, and also pass ed bill giving the state council of defense broader powers. The bill was considered necessary, as under the present law the council only has advi- sorry powers, but under the new law the state and county boards will have powers to enroll men and women in the industries, as well as to appoint advisory boards.
 Many other important measures will be made into law, but only a few so far have been introduced. The legis- lature is expected to adjourn within a week or ten days, as all the meas ures mentioned in the governors proclamation calling them together can be passed readily in that time.

]. B. SPEED HAS
 GONE ID DOUGLAS

Last Sunday J. B. Speed arrived in Kingman from Verde, where he had charge of the building of the town for the United Verde Extension com pany. MT. Speed is heavily interested in the Middle Golconda company and believes that within short time he will be able to get the finances of that organization in good shape for fur ther development of the property.
 The Middle Golconda is one of the most promising properties in the coun- ty and with the fixing of the price of zinc at 12 cents ought to soon be in shape to make a large output of ore. At the present time the mine is shipping a few cars a month, but no effort is being made to increase the production. The mine is in charge of c. B. Bell, one of the best mine managers in the country. All the money expended on the property has brought big results.
 Mr. Speed has accepted a situation with one of the big copper companies at Douglas and will remain in the Shelter city for some time.

old workings. Near the northwest of the property a splendid body of ore has been opened, the values running high in copper values. As soon as the larger teaching plant is put in commis- sion it is the intention of the company to put in hOisting plant and sink to as great depth as possible, to ascer- tain the real extent of the deposit. While it is the belief of mining men generally that the ore will be found at great depth it is better that this be ascertained for certainty. Should the ore extend to a depth of 50 feet below the present horizon the mine will be among the great properties of the state, especially when the low costs of mining is taken into consid- eration. The mine is within a mile of the railroad and a spur track could readily be laid onto the ground, and at low costs.
 The gentlemen of the company de- parted to Los Angeles last Wednes- day evening, Mir. and Mrs. J. H. Con way going through by automobile and meeting the party in the Angel City.

EMERALD ISLE PLANT
 ID DOUBLE CAPACITY

This week a number of directors of the Emerald Isle Mining company ar rived from St. Paul, Minn., and made an examination of the holdings of the company, situated near Mineral Park. The men were W. c. Gould and son,
 !" Ham, A. J. Brawley and Mir. Rob- inson, an electrical engineer.
 The 20 cells now in use at the leach ing plant of the Emerald Isle were op- erated 48 consecutive hours and the copper stripped and weighed at the end of that time, the result showing that the plant was on an excellent pay ing basis. The company has just in- stalled 30 more cells and expects soon to be shipping carload of cathode copper per month. The recovery from the ores is high, in fact much high CT than that secured by a similar process at the New Cornelia company at Ajo, Arizona.
 The company has been trenching and pitting the big deposit of ore that through the ground in its holdings and within the past thirty daya has bee nable to uncover better grade of ore than that found in the

T. J. Sparkes, who has been making an examination of the Tibucio mine, formerly the Berkely, is in Kingman preparing to unwater the property and operate it. Associated with MT. Sparkes is a well financed company, and if the mine shows well there is no doubt that big plant will soon be put on the property.

BURNING FILM
 CAUSES EXCITEMENT

Last Thursday evening the burning of roll of film in Lang's theater caused considerable excitement, but the audience that had gathered to wit ness the performance left the theater quietly and without accident. After the film had burned out and the smoke cleared away the audience re- turned to their seats and enjoyed the balance of the picture. The fire was caused from static electricity, the film having broken in rewinding and com ing in contact with part of the ma chinery.
 While the film was burning enough smoke was rolling out of the building to screen the whole American fleet from enemy attack.

The ball game last Sunday between Oatman and Kingman ladies was one of the most entertaining events of the season. The Oatman club, while it had little practice, came close to an- nexing the game. A big crowd wit messed the affair, which netted over S160 for the local Red Cross. The Sun day before the young ladies of the Kingman team played an excellent game at Oatman, the proceeds of more than S200 going to the Red Cross of the big gold camp. Other games are to follow, which would appear to be one of the most delightful methods of raising enough money to keep the Red Cross chapters in funds. Many of the ladies are as great ball fans as the men and the playing of these games Is a pleasurable pastime to them.
 The following is the lineup of the rlavarS.
