War Office Asks Inventors to Design
Automatic Rifle.

Washington, d. c., Aug. Sin
ventors were asked today by the War
Department to submit designs for a
semiautomatic military rifle to re-
place weapons now in use.
The designs must meet specifica-
tons, giving the characteristics a
service rifle Of this type must have,
which have been prepared by ord
nance experts.
The present military rifle is mag
azine gun, operation with the bolt
action by hand being necessary to
prepare it for the next shot. Off
Gals said that if an acceptable semi
automatic could be developed for the
army, the rapidity and accuracy Of
fire by any infantry unit would be
greatly increased.

HINTS At REVOLUTIONS,

alize the railroads., was voiced NIB,
Glenn e. Plumb, counsel for the
railroad bfotherhoods and a,ithor oi
organized labor's plan for tripArtite
control OF the railroads, tday before
the House Interstate Commerce
Commission. All day long Plumb
sat in the witness chair respondin9Sto
sharp questions from the committee
members, who called on him to ex-
plain every phase of the Labor Bill.
Through it ALL, Plumb chung
steadfastly to the assertion, mum
berleSs times repeated, that the rail
road unions aimed "to eliminate the
motive OF operation for profit, and
substitute the motive Of operation
for service" to which he added the
corol1ary that 1T means democracy
in industry; without democracy in
industry, politics is a mere shell and
sham" s @..s4.
Gravely, Plumb talked of revolu-
ton if the adoption of "some such
plan" was not obtained by political
action through Congress.
The income of the Plumb plan
league, organized to forward the
labor bills passage, he said, was 'in
the neighborhood of $500, 900 or
$I25,ooo annually now," though only
organized in July. He estimated
that its income shortly would be IL
million dollars anA-implied that it
might run up to 5 or mfff}ieus. All
of it, he said, was coming from
brotherhood members.
The situation is that our men be-
lieve they have come to a new day."
Plumb told the committee. "They
have. spent their money and their
lives to secure liberty, and have now
found that without liberty and de-
mocracy in industry they have only
the she'll of liberty to live. We in
tend to get it lawfully, and through
the constitution by the ballot"
But if that is not possible, what
will be done?" Representative Saun-
ders, Republican, Indiana, asked.
"Ah, there is no doubt in your
mind OF in n1ine as to that, Plumb
IF the forces of reaction
prevent the adoption of this program
by lawful means, we know the way of
history" ~T..
Revolution is word that should
not be used lightly" Mr.. Saunders
observed.
Il hope never to live to see the day
when the methods necessary GO
further than those | have outlined"
Plumb responded.
"In essentials, this is the Russian |
soviet plan of industrial operation, is
It not?" Mr.. Saunders continued.
II don't know anything about the |
soviet plan," Plum said, "or rather, | |
am only familiar with the popular
miscosception of what is the Russian
soviet plan." NJ

UNITED AMERICAN
 |NSTALLS MACHINERY

At the United American the com-
 pany has been rushing things the
 hoist being in place, the compressor
 and engine ready to go into commits sion and the gallows frame ready to Nbe hoisted into place and bolted to- ! gether. It is now expected that the \ first holes will be drilled in the bot Ntom of the, big shaft the 4th of July Nand the hole started on its downward way tword the big Tom Reed ore bodies, which are confidently believed Nto exist in one or the other of the five veins that outcrop on the property ,The shaft is expected to make about i150 Feet monthly, which will bring it to the level of the Bald Eagle ore bodies within the next four months.
 The work of getting the machinery >on the ground and casting the con- crete foundations was done in record
 time, and if the same speed is main tained in the sinking of the big shaft we believe the management will be getting results long before their neighbors.

co. ). HAS BEEN
 BIG PRODUCER

Now that Mohave county is exper-
 fencing demand for silver properties
 We would call the attention of possible
 purchasers to the c. o. D., one of the
 cid producers of the Wallapai district.
 This property produced more than $1 100000 in silver, some gold and lead
 from the grassroots to the 400 level.
 Practically all the ore was taken from above the 300, and there is an im- rlense tonnage of mill ore still in the stopes.
 The c. o. D. was originally discov- cred by the late J. H. Johnson and hy him worked for a number of years. 1t was sold to San Francisco people and during the four years that it was in operation netted the owners big sum of money. All the ore was taken out through a shaft not larger than 2x3 feet in the clear, and as the ground swelled the timbers had to be hewn away to allow the bucket 10 pass. Leasers also took many thou sands of dollars from the mine dumps and the upper works. A shaft was sunk to within few feet of connec- ton with the 300 level by the c. o. D. Company, but lack of funds and the silver depression caused the work to be discontinued. This shaft is about 400 feet west of the old works. Good ore was opened in this ground and several carloads shipped to the shelter.
 A level 1000 feet in length was run on the 300, but the greater part of its distance was off the vein, the con- tractor not caring to drive through he hard quartz. Near the west end 'f this drift good ore, carrying good Salues in gold and differing mater ally from the old shoot, was cut into. No Stoping was done on this level, lside from that in the old stopes near he original shaft.
 The c. o. D. is considered one of he best silver-lead properties ill tie ountry. It has been hardly scratch d and with further development ught to be one of the real producers # the district.

STILL WASHING GOLD
 ON THE COLORADO.

n. l.: lSandy) Harris, who with the late William Hoffman, owns the plac- CTS on the Colorado river, near the mouth of Buster Wash, is in Kingman. MT. Harris reports that he has been dry washing the gravel in his clajr 8 and that he has found a wonderful streak of pay. This deposit is eight feet thick and runs extremely bipb nuggets weighing several dollars each being taken out. This is the placer, where MT. Harris abtained the nup- gets that were on exhibition several years ago and which created consid- erable'of a sensation among the old timers. Some of the nuggets weighed as much as $20.
 MT. Harris expects to put in a big drywashing plant to work the gravel Just as soon as he has gotten matters shaped up for the introduction of ma chimes.

H. M. CR0WTHER BACK FROM EAST

H. M. Crowther arrived from the
 east last Wednesday night, having
 satisfactorily financed the Arizona
 Butte tunnel project, at Stockton Hill,
 Enough money will be provided to
 carry this tunnel under the mountain
 11,000 feet and crosscut the big vein
 system at that place.
 \ The tunnel project of the Arizona Butte is one of the greatest ever pro- posed in the state. It will be the
 means of opening up fully 100 veins, some of which are immensely large.
 The tunnel is to be driven on the Prince George lode the greater part of the distance. This lode is in places fully 100 feet wide and has immense ore carrying possibilities. In the early days it had an ore body that came to the grassroots that was 13 feet wide and carried values of $220 per ton as it was broken down in the stopes. It has had great bodies of milling ore tapped by diamond drill and all lalong the outcrop of more than mile shafts have been sunk into milling ore. The Cupel, Banner, de la Fountaine, Little Chief, Vigilant, Fountain Head, Blue Bell and many others of the old time properties will be cut and their future operations made possible. It will get under many of these veins at depths of from ] 400 to 1000 feet below the present , works and at the same time drain them of their waters and make possi- ble the extraction of the big bodies of mill ore.
 A big milling plant is to be erected at the portal of the tunnel and town of some importance will be established there The whole project is one that will appeal to the business mind, es- pecially when thoroughly examined by ] mining expert.

VISIT BLACKBERRY
 CONSOLIDATED MINE

Last Saturday the mining \ editor accompanied by J. H. Townsend anG Lieut.. Brooks Dudley, visited the
 Blackberry mine and mill, as we'll as the surrounding properties. Supt Neagle took the party through the
 mine and all were surprised with the immense possibilities of this property for ore production. The main shaft
 has been carried down on the incline
 800 feet and at the 8, 4, 6, 7, and
 Sth levels the ore bodies have been
 opened. On one of the levels the ore
 shows width of 12 feet, which will give high average value. On the 300 the raise has entered an ore
 body four feet wide that gives an av-
 craze of above 90 ounces silver, some
 gold and lead.
 Raises are being carried up from
 all the levels with the view of con-
 meeting with the level above. Owing
 to the dip of the vein raises will also
 be carried up at an incline of 45 de-
 grees and stoping commenced. Ore pockets have been put in at the foot
 of all the raises and within sixty days the property will be in shape to fur nish the mill with full capacity. The ore as it goes to the mill will have value in. excess of 20 ounces silver, few dollars in gold and lead and zinc. Another shaft 600 feet deep, has entered the old works and is con- nected up with the main shaft. It is from this shaft that the greater amount of water is now being pump ed, but when the south drift is car ried through the water will be handled from one central station. The drain ing of the mine has made it possible to carry stopes and raises through without the use of timber, which would not be the case was the water allowed to lodge in different parts of the mine.
 The mine is one of the best equip ped properties in the county and the work that has been carried on in open ing, up the ore bodies is excellent. With the further exploration of the ore bodies to the north we believe this property will be one of the large pro- ducers of the state. It has immense bodies of high grade ore that further will sweeten before it goes to the mill.
 G. s. Holmes, of the company, who has been in New York City, is re- ported to have secured additional fi- nances to open the big mine to the north of the present main shaft to up with the present openings. With this work complete the mine will be in shape to more than provide the big mill with it's full complement of ore.
 The mill, under the management of T. D. Walsh, is now handling 70 tons of ore daily and from what we saw there is no doubt that it is making 3 big saving of values. The ore go- ing to the mill is of good grade and the concentrates that are being turn ed out will run above $500 in value.

VISITS BIG TUNNEL
 PROJECT AT CHLORIDE

L. R. Walton, of New York, wht
 spent several days this week with Col
 J. c. Rankin looking over the Chlo.
 ride tunnel project, returned to King,
 man Thursday afternoon thoroughly
 satisfied with the proposition. IT
 fact MT. Walton was more enthusi
 astic over the possibilities of the tun
 mel than the father of the project, Col.
 Rankin. Mir. Walton and Col. Rankin
 departed to Los Angeles on the train
 Thursday evening, and after a day
 in the Angel City will go to San Fran
 cisco, where they will close up some
 business matters before returning to
 New York. ',
 The big tunnel that is designed to
 cut the large group of veins on the
 west side of Sherum's Peak, will have
 a total length of 5000 feet, is 7xS feet in the clear and is now in S25 feet. The first leg of the tunnel is to be driven into the ground of the Rainbow Mountain company, where it will be connected with the 600 foot shaft on that property for air. It will be then continued to the Lucky Boy, Brighter Days and Samoa groups. The groups of veins that will be cut by this tunnel are the Marybell, Pay roll, Rainbow, Bryan, Brighter Days, Lucky Boy, Queen, and many single veins. It is expected to open a great flow of water, which can be used for and domestic purposes. Tie tunnel portal will be 400 feet above the town of Chloride, which will give a big pressure for fire purposes.
 The opening of the big veins along the mountain side will be the great est mining proposition the Chlorid, country has ever known. It will drain the old properties and allow of the extraction of the ores at mini mum of cost, saving largely in tim Der and hoisting expense. In all the properties that will be cut by the t,m- nel splendid ore has been found. The has practically all the ores opened to the 600 level intact, with of the ground near the sur face, which was cut out by the early lay leasers. The Lucky Boy report ed an immense body of mill ore in it's lower levels before its shutdown some years ago, and the Samoa has many thousands of tons of ore that :an be readily extracted. These prop critics will be cut close to 2000 feet | below the outcrop. All the veins will pc cut at great depth, which will give packs of ore that cannot be extracted n years. It is one of the most eco- homie projects for. the development of he Chloride mining field that has been put before the public in many years. Should the tunnel be driven Q greater depth it will reach into a lew vein system high up on Sherum's Peak, where in the old days many thousands of tons were taken from 1eins at the grassroots. These veins ,arried in lead and silver, but owing o their peculiar situation were very xpensive propositions to operate. A. ". Henning, a we'll known miner, is n charge of the tunnel operations, nd the way he is getting under round indicates the cutting of the irst series of veins within a short ime. The double track feature of the unnel will make the operations of all he veins along the route of the big 'ore an easy matter.
