SIX NASH QUAD TRUCKS
 HERE FOR ROAD WORK

Lieut.. O'Donnell has been lining up his road forces and getting things under way to begin the building of the north and south highway, in con- junction with Mohave County. This week Lieut.. O'Donnell received six Nash quad trucks, which will be put in commission with the big roller grader of the county. This big lineup of trucks will cut the cost of building this roadway and allow of the haul ing into the bridge site of all neces- sary material for it's construction at minimum cost. The road is to be built from the Chloride terminal to the river as fast as possible, so that work on the bridge will be commenc- ed, early in the fall. This work will make possible the coIstruction of the road from the south end and middle

ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR WORK ON BIG
 CHLORIDE TUNNEL

Col. J. c. Rankin arrived in King man the first of the week and after a conference with T. B. Scott departed to Chloride. MT. Scott informs us that all arrangements have been made to press work on the big tunnel that is to pierce the veins high up on the mountain. The financing of the pro- ject has been arranged and the work will be started in big way just as soon as it is possible to get things go- ing. The tunnel is now in 800 feet and will soon be in important miner alized ground.
 J. H. Hoffman, whose companies owns mining ground far up on the mountain, looked over the situation with MT Scott last week and was much pleased with the depth of the tunnel and the possibility of bringing it to a conclusion. With the comple- tion of the tunnel the mines of the Chloride Gold Mines company would be reached at a depth of about 2000 feet.

FINE ORE SPECIMENS ;
 C0LC0NDA, TUcKAH0E

John F. Davidson, a few days ago, was exhibiting around town two pieces of ore that were real beauties. One large piece came from the Middle Col conda and the other from the Tuck ahoe. The ore was speckled with ruby silver. Either ore would un- doubtedly run into the thousands Of dollars. The ores were recently talk en from the mines and shows that there is good ruby ore still left in the mines of Mohave county. Years ago ruby ores were so common that few people cared about them for speci- mems, but during the past ten years all mining operations have been de- voted to extraction of lead and zinc and the smaller veins carrying ruby ore have been passed up. The Mid dle Golconda has big vein of the ore and can supply large quantities of the ruby, and the Tuckahoe can al- so make large production of that class of ore.

section without carrying material in from the north. The work is to be un- dertaken under the most propitious conditions and the men in charge are anxious to make big showing in the building of this highway. Every part of the state will feel the leaven- ing influence of this roadway into Utah and north into the other states as there is not a single passable roadway to the north out of Arizona, although there is a large amount of travel that has to go around by way O. Las Vegas, Nevada, or Pennington, New Mexico. The road will carry civ- iization into a new territory and bring added taxes to the county and state.

GUS HOLMES BACK FROM EASTERN TRIP

MT. and Mrs. G.. s. Holmes arrived in Kingman few days ago, coming back from their eastern trip by way of Los Angeles. They were in New York City the past three months and MT. Holmes secured what he went af- ter. He reports that New York is a seething with financial ferment. Ev- erybody has made so much money that they are using every devise possible to spend it.
 MT. Holmes states that all arrange ments have been made for all the new work contemplated on the Blackberry mine-- Every effort will now be bent to the operation of the mill on a 24- hour basis, and the opening of stopes on the 6, 2, and 9th levels will give ample tonnage for the mill supply. The property is in splendid shape for the drifts on all levels be- ing in high grade mill ore. This mine when in full operation will be one of the largest silver producers in the state.

BLANTON ORGANIZES
 COM MPANY IN EAST

Fksl
 Charles P. Blanton, who has been in the east the past several months on matters connected with his mining affairs in Mohave and San Bernardino counties, arrived in Kingman Thurs day last and departed the same night to Phoenix, where he is filing his ar- ticles of incorporation for the Calizona Mining company. This company is to take over and operate two groups of mines, one group north of Needles, in what is known locally as Dead mountain and the other group north of the Moss in Mohace county. The latter group has a number of prom ising gold veins in the granite form ation, lying between the Mossback and the Thumb Butte properties.

Baryte, crude or manufactured is protected by tariff tax of $10 per ton. All manufactured barium pro- ducts are taxed at $20 per ton.
 Other metals that may be obsesse,i by low labor of other countries will undoubtedly be protected before the committee completes it's work. But the important protection of tungsten and molybdenum, as we'll as zinc, will be boost to the mining of these metals in this county.

MANY NOHAVE COUNTY
 PROPERTIES WORKING

That the walkout at Oatman has caused considerable depression in the bushes affairs of the county there is really no cause for alarm. While Oatman has been the larger employ CT of labor there are other camps just now that are showing life., A short time ago Mineral Park was employing only three or four miners, while today it is taking on many men, two of the properties employing about 40 men each. Other smaller properties around the camp are also adding to their forces. The three big tunnels in the county will employ many men and these are ready to begin operations. Another tunnel project will be under way within the next sixty days and there are many other projects that will be employing men.
 Blackberry is employing about 75 men, the McCracken is employing about 30 men, Chloride mines are giv- ing more employment to men than during the past two years. Walla- pal mountain mines are employing greater forces and every silver dis trict in the county is getting into ac- tive development or production. The same is true of Union Pass, Stockton Hill and Cerbat where the forces are being added to.
 While the shut down at Oatman will be materially felt, it by no means has caused the closing of other camps in the county, of which there are many.

ACT TO EXEMPT
 ASSESSMENT WORK

Last. Saturday the United States senate passed the joint resolution re- lieving mine owners from doing as- sessment work on their ming claims to the number of five this year. The bill having the endorsement of Secre- tary Lane will undoubtedly have the approval of the president. It must be understood by the miner that if he is the owner of more than five claims he must do the work on all excess claims if he wishes to hold them. The filing of notice covering his five claims will protect them from the claim jumper. These notices in tl,is country may be had of the county re- corder and the expense of recording is about $1.35 for each notice.

STRIKES VEIN ON
 THE GATES AJAR

Norman Bigler, who is superintend- ing the operations of the Gates Ajar Mining company, over in the Walla- pais, reports that the contractors have just struck the vein for which the tun- nel has been driven. The vein at the point of intersection looks good, but it is not expected that the rich ore body will be entered until about 80 feet has been driven on the vein. In the shaft the ore body was large and high grade shipping values. With the opening of the vein at a greater depth it is almost sure to show in- creased values as we'll as extent.

RETURNS FROM MINES

w. D. Grannis, who has been driv- ing an adit drift on his molybdenum properties, in Deluge Wash, arrived io Kingnan last Wednesday. He re- ports that the drift was driven in for ty feet and that exceptionally good ore was opened up. The property is situated some distance below the Lev iathan and in the same general char actr of country. The veins are large and well mineralized, carrying values in gold, silver, copper and molybde- mum. Considerable work has been done on the mines, shafts and drifts having been carried into the ore bodies.

VISITED OIL FIELDS
 AT WICHITA FALLS

Frank Meredith and wife arrived last Monday from Texas, where they went some months ago because of the illness of MT. Meredith's father. Mir. Meredith, who formerly lived at Wich- ita Falls, says that west Texas just now is the scene of one of the widest scrambles for oil land that was ever witnessed. The town of Wichita Falls has grown to the size of Dallas and bids fair to rival the chief city of the state. Everyone has gone oil crazy and millionaires are made over night. It is an expensive place to live for the ordinary fellow, but the wage of drillers and other forms of skilled labor is high and can stand the living costs, although the fellows that have to do the hard manual labor of the kind are up against it.
 MT. Meredith is interested in the mines of Chloride and came back to see how they were getting along.

BILLS TO PROTECT
 ORES BY TARIFF

Bills that are now before the Ways and Means Committee of congress provides tariff on ores to protect the mining interests. One of the bills levies tariff tax on tungsten ores of $10 per unit of tungsten trioxide con- tained in the ores. The unit is defin- ed as being one per cent of the com mercial ton of 2000 pounds. This tar. if would make it impossible to bring in foreign ores, as on the usual con-, mercial ore it would amount to $500 to the ton. |, ,I
 A bill provides a license fo. the im- portation of potassium salts, but which will not become operative until five years after the declaration of peace. The duty is declared at ten cents per unit. While this is not heavy it will make possible to mining and manufacturers of the cyanide in this country. German cyanides were the only ones used in the United Stat es before the war, but the exigeEcies of war demanded that they be locally produced and as result large quanti- ties have been foN1d and the tax inn posed against foreign importations will aid in the development Of the large beds of the salts.
 Pyrite and concentrates and all crude iron sulphides are\ protected to the extent of 1A cents per unit on the sulphur content. Sulphur is also pro tected to the same extent.
 On manganese ores and mangani- ferrous concentrates tariff tax of S5 cents per unit on the metallic content is to be levied, the minimum duty to be not les than $10 per ton. A mini- mum duty of $50 per ton is levied on ferromanganese and $50 on spiegel iron and other alloys containing man. ganase.
 Magnesite, commercial ores or mag nestle products are protected to the extent of from % of cent pound to 1A cents a pound. On magnesite brick 25 per cent advalorum. Crude graphite ores, crystalline or amorphus, one cent pound of ore containing 50 per cent or under of graphite carbon and 2 cents per pound over 50 per cent. Plumbago silver lead carries three cents per pound. Flake crysta- line graphite, crude concentrates and refined flake is taxed at six cents per pound.
 Zinc bearing ores containing more than ten per centum and less than 25 per centum of metallic zinc is taxed at IF cents per pound of the metallic content. Ores containing more than 25 per centum two cents per pound. All forms of zinc, sheet, dust solu. tions, chloride and sulphate are taxed under two per centum.
 Quicksilver is protected to the ex- tent of 35 cents per pound and on manufactured compounds is taxed at the rate of 35 cents per pound of contained mercury.
 Anthony salts and other com- pounds of antimony the tax is fixed at the rate of ten cents per pound of contained antimony.
 Molybdenum ores are protected by a tax of 40 cents per pound on the contained molybdenum. On all alloys of that metal the tax is fixed at 70 cents on the contained molybdenum. This is important, as much of the worlds supply of molybdenum has been in dirsst antagcnisn to the Am erican product. -:

Hopperdozer Col
lects Crasshoppers

No modern implement Of warfare
the enemy more than the
hopperdozers, built according to
plans recommended by the United
States department of agriculture,
terrorizes grasshoppers. Ten bushels
of grasshoppers were captured in two
hours on one farm in Morgan county,
Ind, by the use Of a hopperdozer
built by the county agent in order
to control serious outbreak of the
pests. Continued use of the device
has resulted in the control of vast
hordes Of the insects which have done
considerable damage on many farms
in the county. The catcher is about
fifteen feet long and six feet high.
Near the bottom is a trough leading
into a big screen cage at the back.
The deceive was drawn by two horses
over a clover field after the crop had
been cut. The agent reports that
at times the pests were SO thick as
they jumped into the catcher that
they presented the appearance OF a
cloud. Complete directions for build
ing and operating hopperdozer will
be furnished by the United States
department of agriculture.
