W. }. CRANNIS OPENING
 ( .M0LBDENITE MINES

w. D. Grannis and Porfirio Noli re- turned the first of the week from the molybdenite mines in Deluge Wash, where they completed the sinking of a 50 foot winze on one of the Grannis group. They brought with thspssam- ples. d.nfolybdsnite and copYsr ore that looked exceptionally good. From appearance G the samples We would judge that anotRer 50 feet would bring the winze into a much better grade of ore, as the samples show considerable teaching.
 The group of claims, which were re- gently bonded to California people, is in one of the best mineralized sections of Cedar Valley district and develop
 nent ought to bring in some good pro ducers. The ore carries values in Holybdenite and copper, and is similar to all the ores along the big Copper. vile dike.

A LETTER FROM ONE OF OUR NEWER RESIDENTS
Editor Mohave County Miner,

Editor Mohave County Miner,
 Kingman, Arizona. '
 My, Dear Sir: When a newcomer ar rives in town, there are certain things that impress him, which perhaps the old resident overlooks. And while first impressions are subject to sub; sequent revision, they nevertheless have a more or less lasting effect. ,
 This is not the beginning of ser mon, but merely an endeavor to ex- press one or two ideas which I think are apropos.
 Civic pride, is great asset to any community; but especially so to a young country not yet fully developed. While it cannot be measured in dol, lars and cents, it's effects are never theless far reaching.
 There ought to be an organized chamber of commerce. composed of en- ergetic people who believe in this sec ton. and are willing to give some of their time to the work. It makes no difference how good a country is, and what advantages it has to offer, it needs advertising, it needs boosting.
 This section most assuredly has plenty of inducements to offer, both to the investor and the settler. But lit lacks enterprise and "pep." Now, I'll supply my share of "pep" if lothers will join me. There is abso- lutely no excuse for stagnation here in any line. And that bring me to my subject, namely, music. Every town that is worthy of the r.ame, has its band and orchestra. A community is rated according to the extent of it's interest in education, art, and music. You have the material here for building up {. fine musical organization; all you need is the awak, ening of little interest.
 I have had experience both as a player and director of orchestras, and have library of fine music. am willing to donate my time and energy towards building up an orchestra, ol any other musical organization. But I must have the support of people in terested in music-not merely players mind you, but the community gener. ally.
 l I am writing this in the hopes that lit will bring this matter before the public.
 Thanking you for your kind offer of the columns of your paper, am
 Very sincerely yours,

WORK ON WALNUT
 CREEK PROPERTY !
 IS PROGRESSING

.r, Walter Tate and associates, who have the contract to complete a long tunnel into the mountain to tap the copper veins of the Walnut Creek Mining Company, were in Kingman Tuesday last to vote and also to re- main over until after registration day.
 MT. Tate reports that the tunnel has reached a depth of 600 feet and that many stringers of good ore have been cut. It is. expected that the main vein will be reached about 750 feet in, and where the big ore bodies are believed to exist. The Company can get lar ger depth by driving along the vein when it is reached and thus open great backs of ore. '

DOWN TO HAST BEANS"
 FINDS A RICH NUGGET

The Prescott Journal Miner states that recently a miner who had been and who was down to his last pot of beans, stumbled onto a gold nugget that weighed up $165, in the Rich Hill region of Yavapai county. The mani had been prospect ing over the country that gave up many thousands of dollars in the ear ly days and in passing down over the rough country on the Stanton side, saw the nugget sparkling through the dirt. There have been many such in- cidents in that rich region and it is to be hoped that this will not be the last nugget that will be picked up by some needy prospector.

HOME PAsTIhE E SHIPS
 kcR[oADI or GRE

tr.f
 J. W. Prisk, who has been operating the Home Pastimee mine; at Mineral Park, the. past several months, has just shipped carload of ore to the shelter. The ore is rich in silver and carries a small amount of gold. The ore was taken from the upper levels, where a large tonnage of; ore was found in the early days. The Home Pastime is really one of the chloriding properties in the Mineral Park section and ought to be turning out a consid- erable tonnage monthly. The winze should be carried down on the ore body and faulting traced out. The vein system indicates, great possibil- ities for the property if proper devel- opment is carried on.

BLACKBERRY MILL, MAY BE
 OPERATING IN 50 DAYS

F. w. Sherman, who has been direct ing the erection of the big milling plant at Blackberry for the Blackberry Consolidated Mines Company, was a Kingman visitor this week. He re- ports that the company now has it's mill buildings and ..Npewer house en- closed and that machinery will be installed as fastass received. All the machinery is expected to be shipped by the 18th and may be here by the first of the coming month. It is now probable that the mill will be in commission within the next 60 days
 In the mine the work of opening stopes and continuing development continues with rapidity and by the time the new mill begins crushing ore there will be broken in the stopes enough rock to keep it in commission for many months. The property looks fine, in fact it is one of the greatest zinc-lead-silver mines in the state.

MAKES TRIP TO COAST < !:
 TO INTEREST CAPITAL

Adam Mason, owner of desirable mining properties in the molybdenite section of Cedar district, is visiting with friends in Los Angeles. It is probable that he will be able to secure sufficient capital to continue the work of developing his mining properties to a considerable depth below the present workings. Some of his ore is very rich in molybdenite and with greater depth it is to be expected that it will show larger increase.

Sam Myers, one of the old time miners of Chloride, lost week shipped seven sacks of ore to the smelter that netted him $119, rather good return for that amount of rock. Myers has been prospecting the country from Chloride to Utah and down toward Mexico and has found many good things in his day and we hope that he now has the one big property that will put him in the millionaire class.

The government has placed a ban on the purchase of gold from the Uni ted States hints or assay offices without license therefore. The. cause of this order is the growing necessity of gold for monetary consumption. Gold is getting scarce for coinage and every ounce must be conserved to fur ther the position of the United States in the financial world.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2l-Pacific
coast shipbuilders may double their
original allotment of 1,250,O00 tons
of new shipping in 1918.
From Puget Sound to San Diego
practically every harbor is building
ships of some sort at top speed, and
nearly dozen new yards will be in
operation before the end of the year.
The Skinner and Eddy corporation.
Seattle, which launched the first ship
for the Emergency Fleet corporation,
established worlds record for quick
construction of steel hull The CO.
lumbia Shipbuilding corporation, Port
land, broke that record a few weeks
later by dropping an 8,Se0-ton steel
freighter into the water Just 81 days
after the keel was laid. The Seattle
company girded its loins and launched
hull only So days after the laying
of the hull, and turned the completed
freighter over to the government in
II days froms beginning Of construc-
ton.
Standing specifications freighters of
the $500 and 9,400-ton type are under
construction in Oakland, Alameda and
San Francisco. Many have been
launched and several compieter Exact
figures are held as war secret, but
two of the worlds largest shipbuild-
ing companies-the Union Iron Works
and the Moore & Scott company, are
operating full blast on navy contracts
as well as government freighters.
Seattle's wooden and steel ship
yards launch an average of two ships
a week. In 1918 they will launch a.
minimum of 60 steel and so wooden

four S,800ton steel steamers were
launched.
At Portland and Astoria and along
the Columbia and Willamette rivers in
Oregon, 81 ships were launched dur
