BLACKBERRY PROSECUTING
 AT 900 FOOT LEVEL

The Blackberry shaft has reached the 900 level and the work of cross cutting the vein is now under way. The ground at this point is reported to' be heavy, the work of getting the drift under way is somewhat impeded by the character of the ground. Should the vein prove up as good on the 900 as it it shows in the 600 this property will be bonanza. On the 600 the vein is 16 feet wide in places, the whole of it being of high grade milling values. All the other openings in the property show ore of exceptionally high values.
 The camp buildings and mill foun- dations are we'll along toward comple- tion and within the next 30 days the camp will present a finished appear ance. G. s. Holmes, the principal shareholder in the porperty is taking a personal interest in the, progress of affairs at the property and is highly pleased with the way all develop ments are being carried on. .

WHITE HILLS DISCOVERER
 VISITS MOHAVE COUNTY

Judge Henry Schaefer and wife ar rived in Kingman Thursday night on their way to Chloride, and yesterday morning paid pleasant call at the Miner sanctum.
 Judge Schaefer, the discoverer of the White Hills mines in the early nineties and sold a big group to Root and Moffat for large sum of money. He had been interested in mining in Gold Basin and other sections of Mo have county and when he took his de- parture to California he took with him a big bunch of money and an abiding faith in the mines of this county. He has always been a Mohave county booster and is now one of the owners of the Emerson mine, at Chloride, one of the important properties of that camp. At the present time the mine is equipped with machinery and a mill has just been put in commission. This mill is turning out splendid concen- trates, and it is to see this mill in op- eration that Judge Schaefer is now visiting the county.

GOLD IS RATED HIGH
 BY PRIOR|T|ES BOARD

The Priorities Board of the U. S. War Industry Board, has carefully considered the matter of gold produc- tion and the necessity for its safe guarding and at meeting recently held adopted the following resolution:
 "Be it Resolved by the Priorities Board that gold mining is an essen tial war industry, and the powers of this board will be SO exercised as to accord to such industry preferential treatment in the supply not only of tools, machinery and equipment, but in transportation service, fuel supply and labor supply"
 It is also understood that this board is considering the necessity of making some provision for the taking over of the entire gold output of the United States at price to> be fixed by it, in the event that congress fails to make provision for the protection of gold mining.

CARLOAD OF ORE IS
 SHIPPED BY ANTLER

L. A. Newton, who has lease on the property of the Commercial Cop per company (Phelps-Dodge Corpora tion), has just shipped carload of ore from the old Antler to the smelter. The Antler mine is one of the group pur- chased by the Phelps-Dodge people in the eighties and from which large tonnage of ore was shipped to their plant at the Bogg and Blackberry smell ter, in Yavapai county. Owing to the decline in the price of copper the mines were closed and all machinery shipped away. Since that time no work has been done on the mines up to the present time.
 Shipments will now, be made regul- arly to the United Verde Con. shelter, at Verde.

TWINS NINE STARTED TO
 SINK Toa3oo FOOT EVl

Superintendent Erickson has receiv- ed notice from M. B. Dudley to at once begin the sinking of the shaft on the Twins mine to the 300, where the country will be crosscut to pick up the vein. The work is already under way and larger force of men will soon be employed.
 The Twins is one of the best veins in the Cerbert section, but is is report ed that a fault that cut off the vein at the 100 level has not yet been traced out. It is the opinion that it will be easy to pick up the vein at greater depth by crossing the country, and also picking up some other veins that run through the area.

WILL START SOON
 .c ON BIG TUNNEL

Supt. H. M. Crcwther has put . force of miners to work cleaning up some caves in the Stockton Hill tan- nel and getting things in shape for the resumption of driving ahead on the big bore. This work will be of great importance not only to the sharehold- CTS, but also to the town of Kingman. The driving of this tunnel into the mountain and the crosscutting of the gridiron of veins would put to work many hundreds of miners on tribute work, as well as giving the company hundreds of feet of ore backs in its own property.

MINING AND METALLURC|CAL
 OFFICERS RESERVE CORPS

Regardless of the plans already an nounced for the protection of mining under the new draft law, The Mining Congress Journal for September takes the liberty of commenting upon a plan proposed by Director Manning and his associates of the Bureau of Mines, and insists that the plan should receive immediate and favorable con- sideration from the war administra- tion.
 While every effort will be made to prevent loss of man power in the mines, there will be some loss. It cannot wholly be prevented by the methods already devised. A number of technical men occupying positions of highest importance are liable to enlist or be drafted. They may be placed in obscure positions where their technical training will be of no partic- lar value. The loss of technical men in the mining industry is serious matter at any time, and much more serious at a time when every skilled brain should be employed in bringing production to maximum.
 The problem cannot be solved mere ly by exempting men because, regard less of the. expressed preferences of the government, hundreds of these men will refuse exemption and will in- sist upon joining the fighting forces. The suggestion of the Bureau of Mines officials-a most excellent one from every standpoint-is that there be organized Mining and Metallur- gic Officers Reserve Corps made up of volunteers and in part of qualified men now of draft age, and that they be directed to work where they will be most efficient. This will mean, in the majority of cases, their present employments.
 With this Reserve Corps under con trol of the War Administration, the technical forces represented can be moved when and where necessary, the trained intellects utilized to maximum advantage to the industry and to the government, and it is not beyond the realm of possibilities that such body of men will be badly needed for the rehabilitation of Russian mines and to open to the world the vast mineral resources of Siberia.
 The scheme as already placed before the Administration includes the ap- pointment of special representative of the mining industry on each district draft board with advisory power in selection of the "key men" of the in dustry, for the proposed reserve ser vice. All men selected for the reserve were to be assigned to remain in civic occupations until called for special du- ty in the army.
 The plan is good one. It did not originate in the army and it was promptly rejected. But this war is not going to be won by allowing the military spirit to override cofnuon business sense, and The Mining Con- gress Journal suggests that the splen- did business men of the nationr-who have dropped their private affairs to assist in working out the enlarged mil itary program give serious attention to the thought advanced by the men responsible for much of the progress now being made in the production of our war minerals.

BELIEVE HARRIS
STRONGEST MAN
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEM.
sERS EXPRESS THEMSELVES


Atlanta, Ga, April 11.-Fhe pre-
vailing opinion among membtrs OF
mitt ee, who are gathered here today
the Democratic state executive com
to attend a meeting Of the committee
fo- tie purpose /oi arranging Tor de-
tails of the primary, is that William
]. Harris is by far the strongest
con lidatc orr prospective candidate
fo. the United States senator against
Thomas w. Hardwick, and that he is
chi tiled to the benefit and advantage
Of A clear field SC that the loyal Demo
arate forces OF the state can unite
taAind him solidly in tic coming con-
Test.
Feeling against Senator Hardwick
is very strong. Recently there has
heen a great awakening OF patriotic
enthusiasm through cut the state, as
indicated by the wonderful flying
start to Which the third Liberty Loan
got away, and this aroused sentiment
is manifesting itself in very i'm
nerative demand for Senator Hard
wick's removal from Senate. The
feeling among all members Of the
state executive committee, and among
all political leaders here in connec-
ton with the meeting, is the same
that Senator HardWick has put in
question the patriotic good name of
the state in the time OF Americas
greatest crisis, and therefore it is
absolutely necessary to retire him
TO private life.
Owing to his thorough knowledge
eli national affairs, both legislative
and administrative; owing to his
wide acquaintance with influential
mon in Washington; owing to his
well-known friendship and loyalty
fer President Wilson, and the Presi-
dents friendship for him; owing to
his undoubted patriotism and courage,
William ]. Harris is spoken Of on all
sides as the logical successor to the
states unpopular junior representa-
tive in the Senate.

KEEPING UP APPEARANCES
and SAVING SHOE LEATHER

GAS you bend the twig SO grows
the tree" is an old saying, and very
true one we all admit.
Neatness in childhood is a virtue
which in after years will be an asset,
and unless nursed and developed in
the children of today they will be just
that much worse Off in after life.
The progressive mother today has
the child drilled in neatness through
a play system. For instance, each
night at bed time when the little
shoes are unbuttoned they are taught
to play soldier" with their shoes and
stand them at attention on guard"
the shoes being placed neatly to the
side of the room, just where they can
be found i'll the morning.
This habit of neatness can be
further extended to the shining OF
the shoes, gaining thereby indirectly
saving in shoe leather, as a good
shoe polish such as Two in One will
greatly improve the appearances OF
the shoes and at the same time its
habitual use will preserve and pro
tect the leather
Teach the children to keep Their
shoes neat
