THE LOCAL PosTOFFICE
SWAMPED WITH MAIL

The local postoffice is swamped
with mail already this early in the
holiday season, but they are having
a picnic compared with what they are
expecting a few days before Christ
mas. Postmaster Robbins is urging
everybody to mail their packages as
early az possible so that the out
going mail can be handled with as
little delay as possible.
Another thing that will help in the
handling Of the mail very much is
for everybody who has box TO have
their mail addressed TO that box The
postal clerks can handle Il more
quickly than when sent with an open
address.

Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1919-10-18
THEPUBLIC INVESTING

We are sometimes liable to forget that every mine was once a prospect and that all of the great new oil fields were, only few vars ago, wild cat territory. There is nothing that makes money faster than a produc- ing mine or a gushing oil well. The world is now demanding an increased production of oil. The world is also demanding greater amounts of pre- cious metals, and this is particularly true in the case of silver. A mining enterprise is factory where the ore from the ground is turned into dollars just as the manufacturer takes raw material and turns out shoes, clothes, automobiles or furniture. And there is always a ready market for the pre- cious metal from the miners factory.
 Petroleum gushes into the storage tanks at an oil we'll and then through the refining process is manufactured into scores of necessary products. A few years ago, Texas was almost an unknown quantity as petroleum producer. The Texas Gulf Coast had made a sensational record at an earlier date but production had fallen off and until few years ago the small demand for oil had not war ranted any new development. The worldwide demand for petroleum has changed this condition and today the North Central Texas fields are produc- ing petroleum worth $200,000,0O0 a year.
 The nation as a whole has awaken ed to the fact that oil wells and mines

THE HORROR OF A
 VOLCANO IN ACTION

A telegraphic report from Singa-
 pore, India, gives a startling story of
 the eruption of the volcano of Kloet,
 in the Island of Java. The eruption
 began with reports like thunder peals,
 and pitchy darkness was caused by the
 clouds of sulphurous smoke that hung
 like pail over the whole island. A
 boiling, muddy stream of lava rushed down the mountain side upon the town of Bittur, the principal city of the island, wiping it from the map. The avalanche of mud and moulten mat ter had a width of ten miles and a depth of four feet. It melted away walls of stone, covered the railway station and cars in the yards, as we'll as the locomotives, and carried deso- lution and destruction over a wide area. Every form of life in the Ke- dire district, which was made up of a rich farming and horticultural coun- try, was swept away in the flood of boiling mud. This great mass of mud ran for three hours. Twenty-six vil- lages were carried away by the flood. A man lying in bed was carried miles away and deposited uninjured on the rim of the flooded area. Government geologists found the crater relieved of it's contents, but the floor was still covered with boiling water. The vol cano has been one of the most active among the great volcanos of the Java peninsula.

But the investing public has learned the truth and now knows of the great wealth produced by mining and oil industries and the fine dividends paid by numerous mining and oil shares. They are also aware that every mine was once prospect, and it is for this reason that their gambling spirit is aroused and they are buying we'll selected prospect mining and oil shares in the hope that like others they will obtain quick wealth. The average investor knows that he must, through mining or oil, make a ten fold winning with his $100 or $2OO investment fund in order to get an amount of money that would bring him any material return through the 4 or per cent route.
