AT LEVIATHAN;
 MINER BREAKS LEG

T. T. Blue, a miner at the Levia- than mine, sustained a broken leg when timber fell on his last We'd nesday morning. He was brought to Kingman at once and Dr. White re- duced the fracture and he is resting easy at the last report that we have obtained before going to press.
 He was removing some timbers from a part of the ground, which had be- come loosed, and had removed one of them when second started to fall. He attempted to jump away from it but caught his foot in some manner and the timber fell across his leg, breaking it above the ankle.
 Mir. Blue seems to have been born under an unlucky star as he has spent a great deal of the last several years in hospitals as the result of mine acci- dents.

HOME PASTIME MINE
 SHIPPING RICH ORE

J. w. Prisk, who has been operating the Home Pastime mine at Mineral Park the past several months, has a carload of rich ore ready for ship ment to the smelter. The mine had been idle some time, owing to water in the lower level, but Mir. Prisk ex- traeted the ore from above the water level. He will probably extend the workings to a point where he can get into the old shaft and then open up the ore body.
 At one time the Home Pastime was under option to people who sank a shaft to a depth of about 200 feet, but failed to get the ledge in the crosscut and surrendered their contract. It is now probable that a shaft will be car ried down on the ore and the mine opened in the proper manner. Among leasers and miners who map out a campaign of their own the ore body is usually stayed with, and when it is necessary to sink a straight shaft to expedite the extraction of the ore it can readily be done. But we believe that to follow the ore body is the only way until the ore is well located and then if fancy mining is desired it can be done.

TILTON AND
 WIFE PAY SHORT VISIT
 ID KINGNAN FRIENDS

Capt A. L. Hilton and wife arrived in Kingman last Monday from Colum- bus, New Mexico, where they have been for the past several months, and spent several days in Kingman visit ing with their many friends.
 They left Wednesday evening for Los Angeles, where they visited for a couple of days, the doctors furlough demanding that he leave that city Fri day for his return to the camp at Columbus.
 While here they were entertained by their many friends and attempted to call on all by resorting to the use of a machine, but this was impossible on account of the shortness of their stay and the expanse of friends.
 Doctor and Mrs. Triton endeared themselves to the people of Kingman and this vicinity SO much during the years that they remained here that when the doctor enlisted in the serv- ice of his country we think that the truth would demand that we say that they numbered their friends by the number of their acquaintances. In this regard little bit of conversation that we overheard would tell better, per haps, that we could.
 Upon the knowledge of the doctors coming visit, one of the most expert mitters of the local Red Cross work CTS was engaged to knit a sweater for him that could be presented personal Iy. This same lady, it seems, was one of the late arrivals of Kingman and did not know the doctor, but heard so much about him that when she took he finished sweater to headquarters he said: "There's the sweater for that ioctor. I don't know the man nor did ! ever see him, but the people of this own seem to be in love with him."
 This is the sentiment of all of the | people here and we are quite sure hat if this same lady has met the doc or that she is now of the same belief.

WOMAN PERISHES
 IN SNOWSTORM

Mrs. Catherine Zeigler, who had
 been visiting in Prescott, left for her home on Groom creek last Saturday,
 going with her horse and light wagon. A snow stor mwas prevailing at the
 time, and friends advised her not
 to make the trip. Sunday morning the harnessed horse appeared at the Zeig- Ter home, the alarm was given and searchers went out, both from the neighborhood and Prescott. The dead body of Mrs. Zeigler was found by her husband, within two miles of the Midnight Test mining camp, where she had evidently fallen from exhaus- tion and frozen to death. The horse is said to be balky, and supposition is that she had trouble with the ami nal, unhitched him and started to walk with him to camp. Her body was found less than one mile from where she left the wagon; 200 yards from the wagon her hand bag was found hanging to the limb of a tree. It is stated that MT. Zeigler expected his wife's return Saturday evening and walked quite a distance from the camp to meet her. Mir. and Mrs. Zeigler have resided in this section for many years. She is survived by her hus- band, her daughter, Miss Mae Zeigler, of Bakersfield, Cal, and her son, Ed ward, one of the enlisted men at Camp Kearny.-Prescott Courier.

EXAMINATION DELAYED

A party of New York mining men have been expected here for some time back, who were to make full exam ination of the Bi-Metal mine, south of town, but have been delayed by the illness of Capt. Joseph Demo, one of the stockholders of this company, who was to accompany them to Kingman.
 Captain Demo is a brother-in-law of O. K. Lewis of this place and has long been connected with the affairs of the Bi-Metal.
 As soon as possible the party will come here and make their examination of the property by drilling their en- tire holdings.
 This is one of the most favorable prospects in this section and it is hop ed that this new company will see fit to place it once again in operation.

WALKOVER HAS BIG
 VEIN AT THE 300

The Walkover mine, east of Hack berry, has entered a great vein of ore, the body showing width of 12 feet. Doe" Connor and Walter De Liere, who were in town yesterday, report that the mine never looked better and that every days development is but adding to the big ore body. The man agement of the property is driving the shaft toward the 500 level as fast as possible, and when that point is reach ed a systematic development of the mine will be put under way. The property is one of the big things of the Cottonwood district and the man. agement of the company is in the best of hands.

SLACKERS KILL OFFICERS AND
 ARE LATER SLAIN BY PURSUERS

R. F. Mcbride, Cain Wooton and M. B. Kempton were killed at the mining camp of the Powers fathers and broth CTS in the Galiuri mountains of Ora ham county, Arizona, last Sunday, when officers tried to arrest the boys as slackers. Mcbride was sheriff and the other two men were deputies. The officers, in company of Deputy U. S. Marshal Haynes, went to the camp and as they arrived at the cabin the father of the Powers boys came out with a gun and ordered them away. A fight resulted and the old man was shot through the shoulder. The other men then commenced shooting and the three officers were killed. Tom Sis son, a paroled convict, was also in the fight.
 Two hundred cowboys and officers are close on the trail of the men and

A LETTER FROM STATE
 BUREAU OF MINES
February 12, 1918.


 To the Editor.
 Dear Sir: Advertisements relative to the oil companies doing business in the state of Arizona have been appear ing in a great many of the newspapers of the state, the text of which would seem to indicate that the Arizona State Bureau of Mines or the Univer- sity of Arizona has placed its appro- val upon some of the oil companies selling stock. This is absolutely untrue and the use of such advertising is pos itively unauthorized, and is hereby condemned as being deceptive and mis- leading.
 The Arizona State Bureau of Mines does not in any way recommend the purchase of any oil or mining stocks, and the use of part reports is a prac- tice that should be denounced by ev- cry person in the state.
 The Bureau of Mines disclaims any knowledge of whether or not the oil stocks on the market today in this state are good or bad investments. I would thank you very much if you would call this to the attention of your readers.
 Yours very truly,
 CHARLES F. WILLIS,
 Director.

MEXICAN KILLED BYFREIGHT TRAIN
 NEAR WALLAPAI

Thursday evening Marcelino An .drade was struck by westbound San ia Fe freight train about a mile west of Blackberry and almost instantly killed. He was a trackwalker and was proceeding to the west on his veloci- pede, but the high wind that was blowing evidently prevented him from hearing the approach of the train un- til it was close upon him.
 He then became excited and all though he first had gotten away, went back to take the speeder from the track, this proving his undoing, for while doing so he was struck, his right leg cut off, his head mashed and otherwise badly bruised over his body.
 The train crew picked him up, as life still showed, and started to King man. After a few moments he ex- pired and his body was turned over to Undertaken Van Marter here upon the arrival of the train.
 Coroner Smith summoned a jury to view the remains and a verdict of his own negligence was returned yester- day morning.
 Following this Friday morning No. q struck the tracBwalker of the Peach Springs section just a mile east of Cherokee, this man living but a few minutes. He was taken aboard and brought to Kingman, where a cor Oner's jury met the train and took the testimony of the engineer and fire man.
 The facts of this case were almost .coincident with those of the first, the man seeming to be more interested in the removal of his speeder than in the care of his life.
 A selective draft registration card found upon this man caused doubt as to his name, but it developed that he was taking this card to the ad- -dressee and that his name was Cecilio Perez.
 The verdict of the coroner's jury was the same as the first.

BIC VEIN GUT
 IN ROADSIDE MINE

Pete White reports that he has cut into the big vein on the Roadside mine, over in the Union Pass section. The vein has been entered nearly 50 feet and shows fairly good values. Mir. White believes that he will get better values on the hanging wall, and there fore will drive the crosscut until he reaches the other side of the vein. The drift is on the 300 level, and was carried in from a point where the old discontinued work.

SHIP CONCENTRATES
 FROM WILLIAMS MINE

Adams and Townsend are shipping rich tungsten concentrates from the Williams mines, in the Aquarius mountains, to the buyers. The gentle men have been getting out large ton mage of the rich material, the con centration being by hand jigs. The raw ore is crushed in the mill and the jigs are then brought into requisi- tion. The use of the hand jig is made imperative by reason of the lack of water, there being only enough to work small tonnage daily. With the rains of the springtime the operators believe that the automatic jigs may be used.
 The mine is showing uP better ore with late development and it is be- ieved that within a short time the mine should be among the large pro ducers of the country.

E. F. THOMPSON
 AGAIN CHAIRMAN

E. F. Thompson will again have the reins for the second Red Cross drive in Mohave county, word to this effect from Mir. Thompson, who is in Los An geles, came to hand a day or so ago.
 MT. Thompson is one of the best hustlers that ever took hold of any thing and we can look back at what he has done and know that added ex- perience will make this drive bigger than ever. This campaign will be opened some time in the latter part of March or the first part of April.

it is believed that they are surround ed in the old Cochise stronghold, but are sure to be smoked out. If cap- tured they will be given short shrift, as the murdered men were among the most popular in southern Arizona. The dead officers leave large families.
 Judge George H. Crosby, who is holding court in Kingman, was a warm friend of the dead officers and their untimely death was a great shock to him. He prosecuted Sisson, when he was district attorney of Ora ham county, on charge of horse stealing, and secured a conviction.
 As the Miner is going to press a re- port comes from Bisbee that the out laws were all killed in a fight with the cowboys near their old home in the Galiuri mountains, but there has been confirmatory of that report.

WICKENBURI.IR BANK ROBBED
 BY TWO MEN

According to telegraphic advices the cashier of the Wickenburg bank, which is a branch of the Central Bank of Phoenix, was held up Thursday after noon at 4 o'clock and the bank robbed of S160O. The robbery occurred in bread daylight, just after closing closing hours. The robbers were a tall and short man, and made good their escape in a Ford car. It is said they gagged the cashier and locked him in the bank vault, but this rumor could not be confirmed.
 The bank robbers are supposed to have passed through Wenden and Bouse last night, driving at the rate of over 40 miles per hour. At every station along the A. & c. the robbers were seen driving at a high rate of speed.
 Deputy Sheriff De Spain and Con stable Roberts were on the lookout for the escaping robbers nearly all night, but it seems certain at this writing that they must have taken the Quartzsite road and propose to cross the Colorado river at Ehren- berg.
 A message from Bouse states that the supposed bank robbers were inter cepted there, but they proved to be the wrong parties. A telegraphic re- port from Wickenburg states that there were five cars left there soon after the robbery was committed and he officers are unable to tell which ,ar contained the loot.-Parker Post.
