MAKES A LARGE
 TUNGSTEN SHIPMENT

This week J. H. Townsend brought in from the Williams tungsten mines a largo shipment of concentrates and raw ores that will be shipped out to- day to the buyers. MT. Townsend has been working a force of men at the mines and has also been running the. jigs continually. The concentrates are said to be of a high grade and the ore taken from the property is very good
 Tungsten just now is bringing about $25 per unit and nice ittles freak of the ore would soon put man beyond want. There are many such streaks around the Wallapais and Aquarius mountains that ought to be worked, as it is just as easy to pan out tung- sten as 1t is to pan gold and the re- suits are just as gratifying. Old time placer miners ought to get into this work, and at the same time be a real benefit to the government, as tungsten is one of the metals that the war in dustries needs.

BREAKS JAIL AND ELUDES
 p J RS u II

Neil BrOaded, who has been in the
 hmelight in criminal way the past four or five years, escaped from a cell Tn the local jail last Sunday evening and made a clear getaway. After
 leaving his cell he entered the room where Frank Lacey was sleeping and jumped onto the poor fellow and beat him up, after which he gagged him with towel and bound him to his bed. Lacey succeeded in getting loose in about an hour and notified Sheriff Co., henOur and shortly thereafter all the sherltfs force was out searching for
 the escaped prisoner. While Sheriff
 Cohenour was searching in the hills east of town, deputies Harris and Hamilton drove to the Standard Min erals camp to notify the people there to look out for Broaded. In returning they picked up the track of Broaded Tn the road, near Freeze Wash. but 1t was too dark to follow it across. the country, so they returned to town and picked up an Indian trailer and re- turned to the place to take up the trail after daylight. They followed the trail all day, leaving it at night high up on the Peacock mountains. The following day they again took up the trail, but a torrential storm coming up obliterat- ed all trace of the fugitive. All ef- fort to cut the trail after the storm has failed and now the officers will have to await developments.
 Broaded was in jail on a U. $. charge of sending obscene matter through the mails, but no hearing had been held. Several years ago he shot up a saloon in Kingman, terribly wounding several men, for which crime he was sentenced to the peniten- tiary. He was paroled soon after commitment, since which time he has been in many escapades. Last year he was arrested at Blackberry for cutting up all the wearing apparel of a woman with whom he was infatuated. A month or two ago he was arrested at Chloride for stealing a diamond ring. He was convicted on a charge of petit larceny and sentenced to 90 days in jail About ten days ago Broaded was on a misdemeanor charge in the local court, but was later turned over to the U. S. court on a charge of sending threatening letters through the mails He is bad one and needs influence.

Congressman Carl Hayden will be a at the forthcoming primaries to succeed himself. Congressman Hay den has made good and the people will surely elect him to the same po- sition.

And he has been right on every other question.

WATER COMES
 IN TORRENTS

Last Tuesday evening rains fell near Peach Springs in torrential flood and within a short time the arroyo through that place was a swirling river of Ya- ter. Down through Yampai creek the flood came to Blackberry, where it all most swamped the big railroad bridge. In the Peacock mountains the rains were terrific and the water ran bank high through all the canyons. In places the floods were so great that they dashed over the rocky walls in a whirl of spray. No such rain has been seen in those parts in many years.
 At Kingman only a small amount of rain fell. the surrounding country get ting the greater part of the storm. Thursday the rain again fell in King man and the surrounding country and gave many places a good drenching. Rain is badly needed and iPis to be hoped that this month will supply all wants.

take no chances. Any man who asks you to trade your bonds for stocks of any kind is disloyal and should at once be reported to the proper officers. Your bonds have been bought as an in vestment and as duty to your gov ernment, and when you dispose of them you are not doing your duty, but evading it. And the fellow who tries to get your bonds is surely giving you little for them.
 Hold every bond that you buy and hang onto them like grim death, un- less required by force of circumstances and then and only until then, go to a legitimate banker and get the market price for them. If you have bonds let every form of investment pass by, because you have a moral right, a re- ligious right and a loyal right to hold these bonds. And if you are ap- preached with the proposition to dis pose of them for stock swat the pro- poser as you would the Hun.

CELEBRATES
 THE GLORIOUS FOURTH

A great crowd congregated at ChIo- ride last Thursday to properly cele- brate the Nations Natal Day. While the day started out with brilliant sun shine the latter part of the afternoon was given over to local showers.
 Dick Schwindle of Kingman was awarded the prize for the best and most attractiyely decorated automo- bile in the parade. The parade was the first thing on the program and was quite an event.
 At 10 o'clock E. Elmo Bollinger, orator oi the day, addressed a large and enthusiastic audience at Miners Union hall. His speech was patriotic and timely.
 Minor races and events filled the time until after the noon hour.
 In the afternoon the automobile race around Silver Hill brought out the en- tire population of the town and the visitors crowded every prominent place. The race was woA by the car driven by Frank Bonelh, owned by Dick Schwindle, in about 5 minutes. The track was not very good and the distance was over a mile. The second car was that of Bob Anderson.
 George Bonnelli's horse won the horse race, Eddie McNulty being sec ond.

 Billy De Beque and Charley Fair child won the double handed drilling contest.
 The girls of Oatnian and Chloride staged a game of twilight ball, and it was the leally one attraction of the day. Oatman girls are some players, as tie kipgman baseball girls can tes- tify, and they beat out the local girls by a score of i7 to l.. The local team was well supported by the crowd and they furnished lets of heady plays and ought to have won. The team went to pieces in the sixth and the oatman team tucked away ten runs, which was the blow that killed father.
 We have not been able to obtain the amount of receipts from the doings, but it is thought to be in excess of s2OO. The funds go to the Red Cross, which organization needs every dollar that the public can be relieved of. Ev- cry one of the people of Chloride is deserving of the thanks of the visitors for the way in which they cared for them throughout the day.

Wednesday last, after the price fix ing board had decided that the copper producers were not getting justice at their hands in the maintaining of the price of copper at 231s cents, the price of copper was refixed at 26 cents and the action of the board was approved by the president. This price will re- main in effect until some time in Aug ust, after which new price may be fixed. It is sure that any other price fixed later on will be in favor the cop per men
 It was urged by the producers of copper that everything that goes into mining had been increased and that at the present time the copper produc- CTS were not making as much money as when the price was IA cents, some years ago. At the same time miners were clamoring for better wage, al- though at the present time they were getting far better pay than any other class of wage earners. The miners on the other hand are putting their ex- cess dollars into war savings stamps, bonds and contributions to the Red

COPPER MEN CONSIDERED;
 PRICE SET AT 26 CENTS

Cross, and to a greater extent than any other workers in the country. The miners are engaged in a danger ous occupation and are entitled to bet ter pay than those engaged where the hazard of life is less, wherefore the employing companies are to at once put into effect a new scale of wages, commensurate with the advanced price of copper. It is understood that Bis bee is to make the new scale as of July l.
 Now, if some assistance could be given the producers of gold and other metals the miners of the country would be the happiest people on the globe. The iron men are getting from 100 to 300 per cent above the pre- war iron rates and are making every class of people pay tribute, and why should not the lead and zinc produc- CTS have a scale that would give them at least a price under which they would be able to pay a living wage to employees and the producer obtain a reasonable return on their invest ment?
