Main 2440, the telephone number Of the
office Of The Evening Star Newspaper
Company for nearly two decades, is to be
changed tomorrow to Main 5000. The
former number was given The Star when
the paper moved into its present white
marble building and, for the first time, was
equipped with a switchboard connecting
all departments Of the paper. This was
early in the year 1900.
Familiar Number to Many.
1t has been a familiar number to ma
jority Of Washingtonians, past and pres
ent. for who. at one time or another, has
not had occasion to call up the office to
get authoritative information on some
subject, to give The Star Tip" on or
details Of local story. more often than
not exclusive, or to insert the small adver-
tisement that brought back lost article
or produced competent help-from clerks
to cooks?
The number has become almost a
Washington landmark, to use a mixed
metaphor. and will not be forgotten, even
after it has lapsed for many years. But a
great help In the avoidance of any diff
culties through giving the wrong number
is the fact that the new one is much easier
to remember. Also, central can hardly
go astray on 1t when 1t is given her.
Main five thousand" doesn't sound much
like any other number.

MOHAVE COUNTY CHASED WITH
 THE BIG ONES

The report of the county for the
 year 1917 indicates that we are get
 ting up among the big crew. The re-
 ceipts from all sources, as shown by the report of County Treasurer I. N. Hart, is given at S515,428.39. This shows some speed over the years gone
 by when only about S3O,OOO for all was collected, and when the total county taxes only amounted to about S14,O0O. And it is not so very many years ago that this showing was made. When the old territory threw off it's swaddling clothes and became state dire predictions were made regarding the terrible expense that would have to be met. No one dreamed that within six years an old county like Mohave would leap into the first class almost at bound, but she did and she is still going in high gear and there is no stopping her un- til she passes all competitors. When the big dam is thrust into the Grand Canyon of the Colorado and the wa ters of that stream are made to do their duty in thq generation of power and water is brought onto our fertile valleys undreamed of things will hap pen and while we are dreaming the country will fill up with prosperous farmers and manufacturers and cleo tric lines of road will radiate into the mining sections of the mountains and the wealth of the mines will be pour ed into the marts of trade of the coun- try, and we will awake to find a pros porous and contented people filling our valleys and mountains.

UNITED NORTHERN
 CAMOUFLAGES

A week ago the United Northern Mining company gava out a report that they had entered a rich body of ore on the 500 level. Under the i'm pulse of the report the stock went to over 12 cents. As soon, apparently, as the insiders had unloaded the pres ident of the company gave out re- port that as the drift progressed the ore values decreased, and as a conse- quence the price of stock went down to about two cents. Now comes the president with the statement that un- less the ore shows better values before the first of February the mine will be shut down.
 How the president of a mining com pany can reconcile his reports passes our understanding. Within ten days his report goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. The matter deserves being looked into by the Corporation commission, at least for the protection of the stock buying public.

RETURNS FROM OIL FIELDS

Judge J. P. Ryan, of Chloride, re- turned this week from a trip to the Holbrook and Chino valley oil fields. At Holbrook he secured some locations and reports that many thousands of acres has so far been covered by oil placer locations. Holbrook people have raised about SSOOO with which to sink the first test well, and have en- tered into a contract with a California driller to do the work. A rig will be brought in at once and the work of spudding in will be under way in a month.
 The whole country from the petri- fled forest to the line of the Navaho reservation has been covered by To- cations, and companies are in process of formation to secure funds for de- velopment work. If oil is discovered in the Holbrook country there is a vast territory to rely on.

PROSECUTING ON LEVIATHAN
 250 Fl. LEVEL

The big station on the 25O level of the Leviathan mine has been timbered and the work of crosscutting toward the Copper Wonder claims to the west is now under way. This crosscut will be driven ahead at the rate of 6 to 8 feet daily, and it is expected that the big vein will be encountered within 400 feet. On the surface this vein showed copper ore feet in width and of good value. It is this ore body that the management expects to open at the deeper level, and also to secure a more adequate volume of water. The company now has to take water from the Copper Wonder shaft to the east, where a considerable volume of water was opened some time ago. The lack of water for milling and camp uses has been drawback to the operation of the property, but the heavy rains of the past few days will help out the water holes to a considerable extent. Report comes from the big molyb- denum camp that a large volume of rain fell there Thursday night and all day yesterday and last night An im- pounding dam in Deluge Wash will secure some of the runoff from the big basin up against the main range and give some relief from the great drouth that has been experienced the past seven months.

MINERAL ,TECHNOLOGIST TO
 EXAMINE CHINO O|L FIELDS

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 24.-As a re- suit of the great interest shown throughout the country in the new Chino valley oil fields, Milton A. AL len, mineral technologist of the Ari- zona State Bureau of Mines, has made special study of the oil situation, not only in Chino valley, but in other sec tions of Arizona, which indicate through geological features, the pres ence of oil-
 MT. Aliens report is complete, and the publication of his findings is be- ing awaited with keen interest, not only by the general public, who have invested in the new oil fields, but by many of the big oil men of the coun- try who are of the firm belief that the Chino valley has the making of one of the big oil producing sections of the country.

MINING DEAL INVOLVING NEARLY
 4 MILLION BEING NEGOTIATED

GLOBE, Ariz., Jan. 19.-A mining deal involving nearly a million dol lars is being negotiated in the Tip Top district, it was learned here to- day. Principals in the deal, which is for the control of the Kay Mining conlpany's property, are S. J. Tribolet of Phoenix, principal owner of the mine, and George w. Long, of oatman and Phoenix, wee president, and one of the principal owners of the famous United Eastern gold mine in Mohave county. Although nc official an nouncement will be made regarding the transaction until sometime in the future it appears practically certain that the deal will be cUnsummated and that the wealthy Catman gold miner will take over control of Mir. Tribo- let's copper property.
 q consider the Kay mine the best copper prospect have ever seen" said MT. Long emphaticaIly, when he was asked point blank what he thought of the property. q cannot say as yet that I will take it over because the financiers whom I nave interested in the project have not had an oppor- tunity to make a personal investiga- tion underground. The mine is being unwatered now and the final inspec- tion will probably be made within

ATTORNEY THORNE NAMED AS JUDGE;
 OATMAN MAN PLACED

Yesterday morning a wire was re- ceived from Phoenix containing the in- formation that Paul c. Thorne, the well known Oatman attorney, had been appointed superior judge to take the place of Judge Ellis, resigned.
 MT. Thorne came over from Oatman yesterday morning and received con- gratulations of his many friends here. Mir. Thorne has practiced law in the Mohave the past two years and was prior to that time reporter of the supreme court of the state and also was with the law committee in the compilation of the laws of the state. He is a good lawyer, an ami able fellow and will give the people of the county unbiased judicial deci- sions, no matter from what source the causes emanate.

BODY NOT THAT OF DE WITT

Coroner J. Fl Smith today received a letter from Princeton university re- garding Wallace De Witt, whose body was supposed to have been found in the Needles mountains two weeks ago. De Witt was a graduate of the uni versity and is now an ensign on the U. S. s. New Hampshire. He had been out in the mountains on a pros pecting trip and returned to his home without accident.
 A report has it that the body found was that of a poor fellow from Needles, whose name we have not learned, a sufferer from tuberculosis. He had gone into that country and never returned. He was an inveterate pipe smoker and a pipe was found near the body. He had been in the employ of a Needles merchant, but was Respondent prior to leaving for the mountains.

THE BLACKBERRY M|N|NG COMPANY PREPARING ID
 BUILD A POWER LINE

William Neagle, F. W. Sherman and G. s. Holmes were in consultation with the Kingman power company last Tuesday regarding the matter of building power line to the Hack berry mine. It is understood that ar engagements have been made with that object in view and that the new mill will be equipped with electric driven machinery. The company has perfect ed plans for the big mill and the work of grading out and arranging for the installation of the mill will soon be under way. The mill will have the latest devices and will be up-to- date in every particular MT. Sher- man has visited many of the large Notation plants to get a line on the best method and believes that he can line up mill that will give a high percentage of saving at minimum of cost.
 The mine, under the management of Mir. Neagle has become one of the great properties of the state. On the 600 level an immense body of high grade silver-lead-zinc ore has been opened. This body has been exposed for several hundred feet in length in the drifts. The shaft is now going to

CASE OF
 SMALLPOX REPORTED

Report has it that Glenn McArthur has been stricken with smallpox and is quarantined at his home near the pow CT plant. Mir. McArthur ran a pool hall frequented by the Mexican sec tion hands and it is believed contracted the disease from them. He is getting along nicely.
 We have never been in touch with smallpox and have no idea how the dead from this disease should be treat ed, but see no reason why the little children of these Mexican families should be taken down the canyon be- low town and inferred in an isolated place. Why should they not have been buried in one of the cemeteries? And why should the Mexican section hands be allowed to comingle with the con- taminated individuals? Contagious diseases; should be carefully handled and the law requires that every case Shall be strictly quarantined. As a precautionary measure the section hands should have been placed in de- tention until the health officers could assure themselves that all danger had passed. The quarantining of a town is an expensive proposition and no ef- fort should be passed up to clean up this loathesome disease.
 Dr. T. R. White, who is at the head of the health department of the coun- ty, has secured a building near Mo Connico, which will bd used as a pest house. The matter of the care of the smallpox patients has been under the supervision of a Santa Fe physi- clan and hereafter infected persons will be carefully quarantined. Dr. White has been using his efforts to prevent the spread of the disease and if is now probable that there will be no further spread of the disease.
 Under the law all school children must be vaccinated, and next week, or as soon as possible all children will have to present themselves to their physician and be vaccinated. Appli- cation should be made to Dr. White, health officer.

ALASKA GREAT
 GOLD REGION

The first gold deposits found in in- land Alaska were in the Yukon-Tan- ana region, which lies between Yukon and Panama rivers west of. the interna- tional boundary. The earliest of the pioneer prospectors crossed the Chil- koot Pass about 1880 and began min ing in the interior of Alaska six years later after finding gold in the Yukon Panama region. Since then the region has produced gold to the value of about $100,000,000. A number of re- ports have been issued by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, bearing upon this area and others adjacent in the Yukon ba- sin, and among the reports still avail able is Bulletin 538, on the portion of the region known as the Circle quad rangle. This quadrangle owes it's chief present importance to the placer mines, which, though worked in a small way, have produced gold to the value of over $6,500,O00.
 The town of Circle is one of the old est white settlements on the Yukon It was located before the surveyor had determined that the town was not on the Arctic Circle, as supposed, but 50 miles south of it. It is indeed a land of fertile valleys and grassy slopes, and during the short but warm sum- mers vegetation thrives, many grains can be ripened, and vegetables grow luxuriantly. Of course the establish ment of adequate railroad transporta- tion facilities may be expected to de velop this entire region greatly.
 Bulletin 538 contains a topographic and geologic map of the Circle quad rangle and is illustrated by excellent halftone views of portions of the area A few copies of the report are still availablS and can be obtained by ap- plication to the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.

Frank F. Peard, of New York, who is at the head of the Union Metals company, arrived in Kingman the first of the week and looked over the de- velopment work on the mines recently taken over from the Golconda Annex and on the Fredonia group. On the Annex a tunnel is being driven into the hill along the vein and some ex- cellent lead ore is being produced. About a carload is now on the dump that will be shipped to the shelter. It is the intention of the company to drive this tunnel under the big out crop on the north end of the vein,

 Mir. Long said that he was not ready at this time to disclose the identity of the capitalists who propose to un- derwrite the shares of the company. He said, however, that their standing is beyond question and that if the deal goes through as is anticipated his opinion is that the Kay mine will soon be in the class of big producers.
 The Kay mine is situated at Canyon station in the Black Canyon on the Phoenix-Prescott road, about 45 miles north of Phoenix. It has been con trolled by Mir. Tribolet for the last seven years in which time some $75,- 900 has been expended in development and exploration. There is a 350-foot shaft and about 800 feet or 600 feet of drifts have been run.
 On the 350-foot level the vein, which is very narrow near the surface, has widened out to a breast of 25 feet of commercial sulphide ore. Shelter re- turns on 32 cars of ore shipped from the property by the Tribolet interests show an average of from 10 per cent to 12 per cent copper.

the 800 level, where another drift will
 be run and stopes opened. It is the impression that the new level will give the property enough ore to operate on for the balance of the year. In the old CT parts of the mine exceptionally rich silver ore has been opened. This ore will not have to be milled, it being rich enough to be sent to the shelter without further dressing.
 The old miners of Mohave county have looked upon the Blackberry as one of the good mines and that it has been developed into a real property is no surprise to them. MT. Neagle, who visited Los Angeles a few weeks ago, looked up Arthur Cordiner, who worked in the Blackberry in the late seventies, and the old timer told him where he might find the big ore bodies. It was at the point where Cordiner pointed out that the ore was found, although MT. Neagle had de- veloped it before interviewing Cor diner. Other miners that worked in the mine knew that rich ore bodies still existed there and they are pleas ed to know that the property is mak- ing good.

CANADIAN ARMY
 OFFICER MAKES
 TALKAT THEATRE

Lieutenant Bury, of the Canadian army, talked to a large audience at Lang's theater last Saturday evening on the subject of our war with Ger many. He assailed the Germans in bitter language for their monstrous treatment of civilians and war prison CTS. The one thing that he told the audience that they were either 100 per cent Americans or they were pro Germans. If an available man is not for us, he must be considered against us, and this argument is quite true. One hundred per cent Americans is a necessity to the welfare of America and the people should be brought to a realization of it. Think of the crimes that would be committed in the United States by this same Germany, had the allies not stopped their march to the French seaboard. As Belgium was raped and devastated, so would the United States be, in its unprepared state. America was looked upon by the Germans as the country that would pay for all the expense oa the war and then be subjected to German domination. But the loyal Belgians and French interposed an army of patriots that stopped their progress and virtually put an end to any pos sibility of German territorial exten- sions. To France, more than to any otber country, does civilization owe a debt that can never be repaid, and little Belgium will go down in history through all the ages as the country that saved the world from the German monster.

The Arizona Bureau of Mines is state institution and receives a large appropriation yearly fro mthe state of Arizona. This money is used for research purposes in Arizona.
 The oil situation in this country is acute, with considerable threatened shortage and the development of oil in Arizona will mean to relieve the national situation. Mir. Allen has spent considerable time in the Chino valley Investigating the oil situation here and his report will bear weight throughout the country.

 GET APPORTIONNENT

The apportionment of state moneys to the schools of the various counties has been made on a basis of $5.50 for each child enrolled. Mohave county has an enrolment of 1194, and conse- quently gets S6587. There is not one county in the state with the small number of children that Mohave county has in it's schools, although Mohave county spends much more than any other county per capita. Good schools are worth all their cost and Mohave county people are proud of the fact that they are using, every effort to give isolated children the benefit of an education, no matter what the cost may be. l

THE LORD KNOWS HIS BUSINESS

Many years ago there lived in the state of Nevada an old miner who put all faith in the Lord. Whenever any thing unusual occurred the old fellow would remark: "Boys, the Lord do sure know his business" And that IS the way we look at this bOunteous rain that has fallen over the southwest the past days. When everything in dicated dry weather, which had been obtaining for the past seven months, the Good Lord sent a downpour that saved the day for the farmer and cat tleman. Not only will the ranges be benefited, but the roads as well will be improved by the soaking that they are getting.
