GRAND CANYON PROJECT
 MAY BE REALTY

J. B. Girand, who has spent several years working out the project for the building of a number of power dams in the Colorado river, above and below the mouth of Diamond Canyon, has just returned from the east, where ne has been in conference with Secre- tary of the Interior Lane and large number of big capitalists. He reports that Sec. Lane believes the building of these dams to be a war measure and insists on their immediate construc- tion. From this we take it that work on the dam will be commenced within the next few months, as the Colorado river will be at low stage during Au- gust and up to late next winter. An occasional freshet will be encountered, but nothing to disturb the operations on the dams.
 The construction of these dams would consume considerable time and employ a large number of men, but the benefit to be derived from the power generated would be of immense value in the building up of the north part of the state, as it would furnish electric power at small costs, especial ly as applied to motive power for the railroads and large enterprises.

OPENING WONDERFUL MINE
 ON BILL WILLIAMS FORK

The Cactus Queen Copper company has purchased several plants of mach inery which will be soon installed on its big property near Bill Williams Fork. H. H. Barbee, president of the company and principal owner, was in Kingman yesterday and reports that he has secured all the necessary ma chinery and that it will soon be hauled from WickenburI to the mines. The haulage from Wickenburg was made necessary on account of the lack of a small piece of road leading into the mines from Yucca. This piece of road is soon to be completed, we are informed.
 The Cactus Queen mines embrace more than 5000 acres of mineraized ground and exploration of this vast acreage has shown that there is a pos sibility of opening up one of the great est properties in the state. One shaft is down about 150 feet and a crosscut of 150 feet shows no walls. The ore in this development gives averages above 6 per cent copper and carries enough gold and silver to pay all haulage and smelting charges. Shafts and drifts are everywhere on the property and at no point has there been a failure to bring good ore to light. The camp lacks water for a big plant, but the creek is only four miles distant and water can readily be brought in. It is the opinion of the Miner editor that water can be secured by sinking at any point on the big copper property and with the installation of the new plants it will be but a very short time until the shaft is.below the water lev el.
 The compan5 has purchased three hoists, one 15O horsepower boiler, compressors, and all kinds of machi- nery necessary to operate property of the importance of the Cactus Queen. Two big trucks have also been pur- chased with which to haul the ma chinery to the mines and another one is in contemplation. The camp has been made comfortable for Q large force of men and the work of explor- ation is being carried on at all points available. The new program is a comprehensive one and indicates the heavy financial backing of a large group of financiers.

FRISCO RESUMES WORK;
 ID RUN DEEP LEVEL

Ray L. Dimmick has received notice to at once start up work on the deep level on the Frisco mines. The shaft and drifts have been kept free of wa ter since the work was discontinued some months ago and now two shifts are to be put on to drive the new work as fast as possible. The work contem- plates the extension of the drifts and the crosscutting of the big ore body. When work was discontinued 1t was thought that the ore body would short ly be reached.
 Mir. Dimmick believes that big ore body will be encountered in the prop erty. but that a considerable amount of work will have to be done to dis close the ore. The Frisco is consid- cred one of the big gold mines of the county and with the ore bodies opened at depth should be capable of an i'm mense output. The surface ores in the old works have been exploited to a con siderable extent and it is probable that these ores will be milled in con function with the ores from lower levels.

MRS. VIM. NEAGLE HAS
 MIRACULOUS ESCAPE

Mrs. William Neagle, children and governess had a miraculous escape from death when their car went off the grade and turned over twice on the Copper Giant road last Monday af- ternoon. Mrs. Neagle was driving her car up the grade and in passing anoth- CT car or wagon drove too close to the edge of the road, the wheels slipping off the roadbed and the car turning over and over into the canyon, where it came to a stop right side up. The governess had a cut over one eye, but the children and Mrs. Neagle were only slightly bruised and scratched. Finding that nobody was badly hurt Mrs. Neagle walked to the home of Henry Bacon and sent in for car to take the family home.
 Mr.. Donovan, who went to the aid of the wrecked party, after removing them to their home at the Copper Giant and then went back td the car and found that it had been injured very little by the escapade. He clear ed out a road onto the old grade and drove the car out of the canyon on its own power.

GOLD TRAILS CO.
 WILL INSTALL PLANT

The Gold Trails Mining company, owner of the old McKesson property, north of Little Meadows, is shaping up matters for the installation of a hoist and other machinery on its shaft. The shaft is now down more than 100 feet and this shaft will be continued to greater depth. Contracts for tsle sink ing of the shaft will be let as soon as the new plant is in commission. D.. A. McMillan will personally look after the installation of the hoist and other machinery.
 The Old Trails shows punches of exceptionally rich ore and it is the i'm pression of mining men that below water level these lenses will become more pronounced.

SPLENDID 0RE IN RICO;
 CROSSCUT OPENS RICH VEIN

tension of the c. O. D. mine, which has been one of the big producers of the district. The vein can readily be traced through the property and into the extensions near the summit of the range. The hoist and other machinery was but recently placed on the mine and has been working nicely. Other machinery is to be put in and every thing possible done to produce results in the least possible time.
 The Rico is situated about Is miles north of Kingman, in the Wallapai mining district, and in one of the best mineralized sections of the Cerbat mountains. It has been under develop ment for many years and considerable rich ore has been shipped from it's up- per levels. Owing to lack of equip ment the mine has not been opened be- low the permanent water level, where it is believed large and rich bodies of ore exist. This belief is warranted by the opening of the ore bodies at the present depth, and especially the cut ting of the rich ore at the 140 level. The management of themine is in good hands and every possible advantage will be taken of conditions obtaining to get the best results from the ex- penditure of money.

BUTTS INTO BRIDGE

Last Tuesday morning c. N. Nickel drove off the highway grade near the concrete bridge at the town limits, the car striking head on to the wing of the bridge. George Claggett, who was riding in the car with MT. Nickel, was thrown against the windshield and his head gashed above the eyes. MT. Mic kel was uninjured.
 Mir. Nicken explained the manner of the accident by stating that he had placed a tag on a package in the body of the car and had turned around to get it, when his car sweved off the road. The car was badly damaged, but the men were extremely lucky in getting out with small injuries.

 METALS PRODUCTION

The government has concluded to look after the production of all the metals. and also the sale. This will be of great importance to the producers, as it would stabilize the price. While nc price has yet been set on lead under the new order of things the govern ment would set the price and all sales would be at that rate. Every metal useful to the government would be priced by the commission and no sales would be made to individuals until the government wants are supplied.
 The stabilizing of prices is a neces- sity, as it would stabilize labor condi- tions, wage and things necessary to mining, At the present time wages are fixed for the copper miners, and, perforoe, all other miners must be paid the same scale. The government
 made the wage scale for miners on a | 26 cent basis and only allowed 2312 cents. Now the wage scale is on a 3O-cent copper price and the rate is I26 cents. Zinc, lead and gold and sit- yer mines have to meet this condition without the consequent benefit. With the handling of the products and the 1 fiNation of the price the producers would be amply protected, as well as would the miners and workers m all these industries.

At a depth of 14O feet the Rico Consolidated Mining company this week entered the vein which had pass ed out of the shaft on its dip about 40 feet above. The vein atthis paint was found to be Az feet wide, 21z feet of which gave average assay results of S91.65 in gold and silver. The bal ance of the vein ran better than SEQ. A five inch streak lying alongside the vein gave assay of over 800 ounces silver to the ton. This was not rec koned in with the average. At the 100 level the average of an 1S-inch vein of ore was $50, which would indi- cate that the values are increasing with depth. The new ore is out of the oxidized zone and would appear to be what may be termed the permanent ore body.
 The company is now being financed, goodly treasury having already been provided for. The company is shap- ing matters up to continue the shaft to the 200 level, where a station will be cut and the vein exploited at that depth. The men in charge of opera tions believe they have one of the best properties in the Cerbat mountains, the Rico being the northwesterly ex-

PRESIDENT WILSON'S POLITICAL
PROCLAMATION.

Tho reply Of the Republican minori-

dent Woodrow Wilson to the coun-
try asking that Democratic MAORI

and excluding from approval tho
numbers Of Republican congressman

AS logical production interviewer
with the concrete statement Of facts
rs shown by the Congressional Re-
cord, 1t will go far to clarity the
situation and to nullify tho effect Of
one of the most powerful political
documents over issued from the WEi.o
House of the nation.
We cannot conceive any other rcas-
on for it's issuance other than that
critical political condition of
affairs as it affects the Dem

try had been impressed upon tho
distinguished Chief Executive and
that he deemed it advisable to do all
within his power to save the power

aster and defeat. 1t is needless to
cite from any part or portion of that
truly remarkable reply fnthcred by
Senator Horny Cabot Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah, Congressman Simeon D. Tess
OF Ohio and Congressman Frederick
II. Gillette of Massachusetts
Every line bristles with facts and
with logic. 1t may he that President
Wilson having the ear of the Nation
will win in the contest but If the re-
markable document issued by these
statesmen is read and pondercd, the
defeat OF the Democratic Party IN
the coming election is assured Presl

he declared that politics is adjourn,

THE QUESTION OF AN ARAiISTICE

We have been unable to SEQ that
President Woodrow Wilson erred
seriously III transmitting to tho Allies
the note Of the German Governmeu,
teen points as u basis for peace were
broad and comprehensive. II tho re-
ports from the other side arc to be
accepted at their face value an at
tempt is being made to comply with
these radical provisions OF the Chief
Executive Of the American Republic
Every true bloodcd American would
like peace with victory. 1t is evil
dent that tho Germans and their
Allies are tired of this war and are
making Il genuine bid for peace.
Whether they can continue their
resistance remains to be seen. They
cannot fight on forever. 1t has been
Il mystery on this side how they
could have continued tho struggle
up to this time.
The German Army is still intact
as fighting factor and it is in no
sense demoralized. The American
Army is in the making and its full
power will he felt during the CON-
ing Spring. Germany is not able to
meet this new foe fresh for the fray
and from this may come the desire
for an immediate peace.
Great Britain from it's own re-
ports is losing at the rate of nearly
two million men a year in killed,
| wounded and missing. France must
be suffering similarly and the loss
OF the Germans must necessarily ap
proXimate the loss Of both OF them
Can this slaughter go on Indefinitely?
. This Is the question that President
Wilson has been considering 1t looks
as though the present negotiations
will 'hang fire" for some time to
come. The number OF Americans
, killed and wounded as reported Off
cially for year and half is not
yet sixty thousand and Great Britain
alone has lost half this number of
men in week.
