WHAT THE AUTOMOBILE
LICENSE TAX WILL Do

Salem. Ore. Mar. Thanks to
Ben Sheldon. OF Jackson county. the
people OF Oregon will pay sum for
their automobile licenses substantial
ly less than the scale set forth In
the new state motor code as origin
ally adopted by the senate Thursday
afternoon. When the bill was re-
turned TO the house for concurrence
In amendments. Sheldon took q de-
termined stand that the senate had
Increased fees beyond reason, and
lined up the house In a refusal to
concur. A conference committee,
composed Jointly OF members OF the
house and senate. was then appoint
ed and finally compromised upon an
appreciable reduced scale.
AS the code now stands. motor
vehicle licenses In the state are in
creased approximately from 100 to
$50 per cent. The increase will not
be sharply felt, however, as the code
provides that motor vehicles will In
the future be exempted from the
personal tax heretofore assessed by
the various counties.
The final agreement on the sched-
ule for motor cars follows
All steam. gasoline and hydro
carbon operated vehicles Except
motor trucks having a rated maxi

 IMPRESSION GROUP

The Tipperary Mining Company has purchased the McKesson grorp of mines, situated in Hardy Butte, about six miles north of Wallapai station and is removing it's machinery from the Tipperary mines at Oatman to the new property,
 k The mines on which large amount of work, is to be done, are about 20 miles from Kingman and were disco1- cred some years ago by the late X. L. McKesson. McKesson did consid- erable work on the property and open ed high grade mill rock along the strike of the vein. While the veins have been opened by shallow cuts and drifts only one shaft has been sunk below depth of 40 feet. This shaft did not cut the high grade material found in the other parts of the prop erty. At the time of the discovery McKesson was in the last stages of the illness that finally caused his death, which accounts for his failure to carry development to a/more pros porous conclusion. Supt. Rodgers will have charge of the development, of the mines. Oatman people are largely in- terested in the company.

MAY MINE ONYX IN
 M0HAVE COUNTY

James A. Monahan, of Phoenix, ac companied w. H. Larlin from Pres cott to Kingman this week to take a look at the onyx quarry north of Kingman, which MT. Larlxin has op- tioned from w. D. Grannis and Noli brothers. MT. Larkin has done some work on the deposit for the purpose of getting a line on the possibilities of mining the material for commercial purposes. A hole has been sunk to a depth of fifteen feet and trenches have been run across large block of ground. The onyx taken from these \ opening is massive and of beautiful color. Polished specimens have been ~ placed on exhibition that rival the best onyx on the market.
 MT. Monahan is one of the best known men of the Salt River Valley, having arrived in Phoenix from the state of New York in 1878 and made his home there ever since. He is in terested in a large acreage of valley lands, business blocks in Phoenix and a director in one of the large banking institutions.

HIGHLAND MINING co. SOON UNDERWAY

The first carload of machinery fo1 the Highland Mining company arrived in Kingman early this week and will be hauled to the mines as soon as the company's truck can be put in com- mission. Several more carloads of machinery are expected in this week and will be sent out to the property As soon as this machinery is in place operations on the properties will be undertaken in large way. The con- pany is now getting its new hoist on the Golconda in shape to begin oper- ations on that property.
 c. B. Bell and wife and J. B. Speed were in Kingman Thursday last from the property of the company attend ing to important business affairs. Messrs Bell and Speed are enthusiastic over the outlook for rapid develop ment of the company's mines and look for early results. The property own ed by this company is the best acre age in the county and can be put on a producing basis with smaller ex- penditure of money than any other mining venture in the state. Values are good in every vein in the big group.

PAWVA MINE IN GOOD
 ORE ON THE lSO LEVEL

The drift on the 1S0 level of the Pawva mine, situated about 16 miles east of Kingman, in the north end of the Wallapais, is in good ore. The former owners of the property had sunk to this level but passed over the ore body and failed to pick it up. This body of ore was quite rich and it is expected that an equally rich body will now be opened up.
 The Pawva company has purchased the Last Chance mill and expect to start it up on ore from the upper lev els of the mine. This mill is now be- ing overhauled and preparations made for getting it into commission. G. w. Gibson, manager of the property, be- lieveS that the company will soon have an excellent silver producer opened up.

RICO HITS HIGH GRADE ON THE 300 LEVEL

The west drift of the Rico mine, on the 800 level, has entered a four foot body of ore two feet of which gives average value of $432 in gold and sill yer. The drift is now in 62 feet west from the shaft and has been in good ore all the way, but the high grade was not encountered until the other day. The ore body in the east drift is still looking fine and the impress sion is that very long shoot will be opened up.
 The striking of jthe rich oreNin> the west drift was to be expected, the ore body on the upper levels being of a very good grade, but not having the values contained in the larger body. Drifting is being carried on with all possible speed and Should the ore body continue as far west as the body on the upper level it is probable that another lift will be sunk in the shaft. The mine so far has shown up wonder fully we'll and the manager :, of the property, M. c. Cleveland, is highly elated over his successful opening of large producer.

C0NPLETEPREuM|NARY
 SURVEY CERBAT TUNNEL

The preliminary survey of the Ger bat Transportation, Development and Drainage Tunnel, was finished this week. The tunnel predicates a bore of large proportions that will extend into the mountain about miles. On or about the first of the month the final geological and mineralogical ex- animation will be begun on the terri tory through which the tunnel will pass. This examination will consist of careful and close investigation of the entire vein system which will be gone over and mapped and all old workings, which can be entered, will be sampled. Thus hundreds of san,- ples will be taken and analysed.
 This will be one of the most thorough and comprehensive examin- ations, that has ever been made in this part of the state. There will be some 90 miles of vein system adjac- ent to this tunnel, which will be cov- cred by this examination. Each vein will be traced and separate study made of it, which will mean the cross ing and re-crossing of the range a number. of times.
 The engineering firm undertaking this work fully realize the immensity of the undertaking and are prepared for it. The report when ultimately completed will cover, in minute de- tail, not only the geological features of the section covered, but will deal with the entire problem of the min ing, transportation and treatment of the ores which will be recovered through the medium of the tunnel.

SENATE M :. SILVER SHAFT,
 NOW DOWN l9O.f1.

The shaft of the Senate Silver was started directly on a "blossom" of the main Blackberry vein outcrop. This shaft is an incline following the vein and is now down 190 feet. Drifts will be run at the 200 foot level in both directions. The work so far has prov ed that the oxidized ore extended down only about 95 feet and although this ore was of very good value lit tie attention was paid to it as the sulphide ore is the objective.
 The recent heavy rains by causing caves brought to light the old stopes that were worked many years ago. These stopes show that the old timers found the ore to outcrop at the site of the Senate shaft but they gouged out the oxidized ore only to depth of about sixty feet which was then the water level.
 The shaft at the Blackberry Con- solidated has since drained the water to their 800 foot level. H
 It is expected that the northwest drift on the 200 level will open up the rich ore. body from which $150.- 000.00 was taken from block of ground 40 feet square. This ore was extracted by drift from neighbor- ing property and the work was halted before any development could be ac- complished.
 Two shifts are at work and, it will not be surprising to hear highly in teresting news from the Senate with in tho va,.v near f,1tl1re
