M'CRACKEN SILVER MINES
 PREPARING ID ERECT MILL

McCracken Silver-Lead Mines com pany has several cars of lumber on the way for their 1OO-ton concentrating mill, to be erected on the company's property.
 Excavating for the mill was finish ed some time ago. The cement and greater portion of machinery required is now at Yucca.
 On arrival of the lumber, putting in cement foundations will be commenc- ed and completion of plant rushed as fast as possible.
 The company has just installed an air compressor, jack-hammer air drills and have a new drill sharpener on the way.
 The management is doing things along the proper mining methods and with silver at one dollar per ounce and lead at seven cents per pound, as fixed by the government, the McCrack- en looks like one of the best proposi- tions in the state and should soon add another large producer to Mohave county's large mines, as the McCrack- en has the ore deposit which it takes to make large producers and dividend payers. Tie management is in good

hands and the company is well finane- ed.
 in our last issue we were in error | regarding the presence of the direc- tors of the company, there being pres ent as stockholders W. B. Van Horne and William Collins, of Indiana Har- bor, Indiana; Dr. George H. Hoskins, Whiting, Indiana; L. Hoffman, King man, Arizona; P. K. Dotson and J. ,H. Hoffman, of Los Angeles. The board of directors elected were W. B. Van Horne, Indiana Harbor; Dr. Henry Ma ther, Chicago, H.; L. Hoffman, King man; Dr. George H. Hoskins, Whiting, Indiana; P. K. Dotson, Los Angeles; John W. Reimann, Oxnard, Cal, and J. H. Hoffman, Los Angeles. The new officers are w. B. Van Horne, presi- dent; Dr. Henry H. Mather, vice presi- dent, and J. Fl. Hoffman, secretary treasurer and general manager.
 The company desires it to be known that there is no zinc in the ore and so far as operations in that country have gone there is little prospect of any of that metal coming in. The ore is heavy in lead and carries excep- tionally high values in silver.

RETURNS FROM HOT SPRINGS

W. B. Ridenour, the well known old time mining man of Blackberry, arriv- ed in Kingman Wednesday last from Murietta Hot springs, where he had spent the past two months taking the baths. He appears to be in the best of health.
 Mir. Ridenour was the owner of the old Blackberry property, now in proc ess of development by the Blackberry Consolidated Silver Mines company, and was also one of the original To- cators of the mines in 1874.

Postmasters have received instruc- tions not to accept for mailing any packages for soldiers in Europe that contain articles not requested by the addressee. The rule is now effective, and was made because the mail depots at the front were becoming congested with mary unnecessary and useless gifts.-EX.

HOLDS Up LONE
MAN At HOTEL
Tom Laws, Night Clerk Campbell
Hosiery, Held By Gun Until
Register is Riiled.

A masked bandit walked into the
Campbell hotel, Moline, at l o'clock
this morning and ordered Tom
Laws, night clerk, to hold up his
hands. AT the command that he
turn the keys over to the rObber,
Law obeyed. The bandit opened the
cash register, took the small change
which amounted TO $50, dropped the
keys and walked backwards out of
the door,
Laws was in the place alone. No
one saw the fleeing man. Laws de-
scribes him as comparatively
young, about five feet nine inches
tall and weighing about 135 pounds.
Miss Jennie Brown of Highland
addition, Moline, was held up by a
