 A story of the Arabian Nights, a dane ing girl in the Bazaars of the Orient. cleverly outwits a willy bandit chieftafn in scenes of Persian splendor. She pours hot oil on the forty thieves. A wonderful picture with the finest of Oriental settings. Also Christie. drama in which she scores g decided success: So popular was this picture in the large cities that nearly all first run houses had to extend the run of this picture one week or more which shows that it certainly must be win- ner. Also good Sennett slapsticle- comedy.
 An Exciting quest for gold. which was, lost when a Treasure ship went down comes into the plot of this picture. Where Miss Storey displays her best abilities, both as an actress and sports- woman, teeming with action and replete- with gripping intensities. Also Strand comedy.
 Here is one of those great love dramas which move you to your very heart. The tragedy of a girl married for pro- lection, not love- and afterwards found she needed protection from her hus-- band, pale musician, who murders for loves sake. Also another spasm of the circus.
 Fred Stone in this picture. He's enough to make cat laugh. Plays the part of a country boy, grows up and elopes with the daughter of a circus man, whose show comes to Three Forks, vaults over seven horses in a getaway and shows the rest of the show people how to do things. Also a good Sunshine.
 Can girl truly love two men at the same time? Can she make each be- lieve he is her choice till she is ready to choose? This girl does. See how in this entertaining comedy drama in which Vivian Martin gives the best of her talents. Also good comedy.

HIGH GRADE FROM THE SABBATH BELL
 AT MINERAL PARK

Thursday last E. J. Hoover brought to Kingman big sample from heavy boulders of float rock that he found on the Sabbath Bell mine, at Mineral Park, assays of which gave results of 4.12 ounces gold and 773.96 ounces silver. The float was found along what MT. Hoover believes is the course of the vein, and it is his intention to at once begin surface work to locate it. Some years ago this rich float was found but no one was able to find the ledge whence it came.
 The finding of this rock at this time gives new incentive to prospecting in the Mineral Park section, as it indi- cates that few of the real mineral veins of that section have been found. Everywhere in the basin and the sur rounding hills rich float has been pick ed up and while a few of the veins have been found there are many yet to be brought to light.

UNITED AMERICAN
 AT STARTING POINT

The hoist at the United American was raised a few days ago and is now in place. It was the intention of the company to fire the first round of holes in the new shaft yesterday (July 4th), and we expect that the in- tention was carried out. The mach inery has been all placed and there appears no reason why continuous work should not be carried on.
 The United American is the ore best guess in the Oatman field and the knowing ones are of the opinion that ore will be found within short time.

GOOD HOPE MINE
 SELLS FOR TAXES

The Good Hope mine, in Riverside county, California, was recently sold for taxes. This was one of the large mines of southern California, some years ago and was sold by the original owners for the sum of $500,000. The mine was supposed to have been work ed out, but leasers and others have been working it off and on for years. While it was not as large property as the old property at Julian, it yet was the carrier of excellent ore. Like old Julian the country in and around the Hope has gone to decay, so far as mining is concerned.

UNWATER|NC OF THE
 ENCLF MINE AT CEDAR

the Cedar Leasing company, has the Cedar Leash gcompary, has pumps at work taking water from the old Engle mine, at Cedar. This prop erty has a shaft down about 100 feet and drifts into the ore body. As soon as the water is reduced tfe company will get to work on the ore, 1t being the intention to drive the drift several hundred feet further.
 The old Engle mine was considered one of the best silver properties in the Cedar country in the old days and the larger bodies of ore was left in the property, the death of the locator causing the discontinuance of opera tions.

WASHINGTON
 MILL RUNNING STEADILY

The Washington Arizona mill, at Mineral Park, is running steadily and is said to be making a splendid con centrate. The ore carries a small amount of copper, iron and high val ues in silver. The silver values are in ruby and native and these metals respond readily to Notation. The mine is now in shape for outputting and will be able to keep the mill well supplied with ore. A large force o1 men is at work on the property.

STANDARD MINERALS
 SINKING NEW SHAFT

The Standard Minerals is sinking another lift on it's new shaft and will probably carry it to the 600. or 700 level. It is our opinion that this com pany has splendid property and that with depth and large developments through the massive vein rich lenzes of ore vii be found, aside from those upon which operations are now being conducted. The company is also running its mill regularly on very good grade of molybdenite-copper ore.

GOES TO DIVIDE

w. U. Wheaton, who has been min ing in the Oatman country for some time past, departed Wednesday to Divide, Nevada, where he and other Oatman men are interested in a group of three mining claims. MT. Wheaton is to have charge of the mines and the company will have enough finan- ces back of it to do large amount of preliminary work.

this still on his rotch stick; it
