The TRYOUT OF
BOXING men AT
The CAMP LAST
NIGHT

Johnson of G Company got the
referees decision in the tenth round
of his fight with Gittie Mo. at the
25th Infantry Smoker last night.
The fight was Johnson's from the
start but the tactics of his opponent
made him careful and kept him from
wading in and finishing his man
sooner. Johnson proved to be a good,
clean fighter, ready at all times to
give a good account of himself, but
Gittie Moe seemed to have the idea
that the audience would appreciate
clownish actions more than fighting
and from the beginning until Johnson
handed him a sleeper in the tenth,
pulled one stunt after another that
made the audience rejoice in referee
Browns decision, which was made
necessary by the gong sounding be-
fore the count of ten could be COM
pleted.
The first two preliminaries were
rather tame affairs, but the Battle
Royal alone gave the audience the
worth of their money, while the SEMI
final between Gilbert and Moore, both
of G Company was whirlwind from
the start until Moore received a
sumner on the jaw at the end Of the
fourth round and refused to come
back for more.
The first preliminary was to have
been a four round affair between
cambridge of K Company and Hill of
G Company. Hill won the decision
in the third round on foul.
In the second preliminary Taylor
of Headquarters Company played
with Lamb of the 10th Cavalry until
the end of the fourth round, when ne
handed his man a real punch which
would have proven a knockout IT the
count had not been interrupted by the
gong.
Five aspirants entered the battle
royal, consisting of Waverly of the
10th Cavalry, Zeno of E Company,
Wilks of E Company, White OF the
Motor Truck Company, and Mitchell
of A Company. Zeno was still fresh
and looking for trouble when the
referee lifted his hand to indicate
him the winner.
Taken as a whole the smoker was
hardly the equal of former ones
pulled off by Sergeant Howard, but
was enjoyed by a large audience, who
were lenient with the weakhearted
men and loud in their praise of real
boxing.

Men Out Returning To Work
In Some Places: Going
Out In Others
RAILWAY PASSENGERS SELF SERVED

DETROIT, May 30.-Advices from
various parts of the Dominion of
Canada are to the effect that the
general strike called throughout the
dominion is spreading, yet there are
indications of it's weakening in places.
From Toronto information is re-
ceived that the sympathetic strike
called today to aid the strike of the
metal workers, went into effect at 10
o'clock this morning. The metal
workers went out because of refusal
of their demand for forty-four
hour week and collective bargaining
arrangement.
Premier Borden has taken great in
terest in the strike, hoping to recon
cile the contending forces and bring
about an arrangement of difficulties,
but without avail. Conferences al
both Ottawa and Toronto, under en-
couragement from Borden, in which
the premier, members of his cabinet
have participated, have been without
results, with apparent failure to ef-
feet a settlement.
At Winnipeg it was announced
that a large number of regular mem
bers of the fire department had re-
turned to their posts, signing new
pledge not to participate in sympat-
hetic strikes. At the same time it
was announced at the city hall that
majority of the police force of
Winnipeg had refused to sign the
new pledge, and that they are quit
ting the force today.
The Winnipeg pledge was accom-
panied by an ultimatum from the
municipal government, to sign OF
leave public employment. The
ultimatum was debated nearly all
night at a meeting of the policemen
and when it came to a vote the
majority stood for adhering to then
policy of close affiliation with the
trades and labor council.
Cooks, porters and walters on the
Canadian Northern Railways trains
having gone out, passengers have
taken to making down their owr
berths, and serving themselves in the
dining cars, sleepers and dining cal
equipment being placed at their dis
posal.
( In the province of Alberta {
general strike vote Of all the unions
has been ordered by the Alberta Fe'
deration of Labor, and the result will
be announced in a few days. Calgary
reports that the strike has made little
difference in business activities. II

WITH $35 CAPITAL MAKES
$4,000 IN SIX YEARS

ABERDEEN, Wash, May 3d.
Six years ago Harry Druxman came
here with capital of $35.
By diligent efforts he acquired
two general furnishing stores. To-
day he has $4,000 in the bank,
having sold the stores, lives in
fine home on a hillside, and is de-

MAY OPERATE THE
 NEW CORNEL|A WEST

George Savers, formerly an owner of the New Cornelia West mine, situ- ated between the New CorneGa and the Ajo Consolidated says that he is to begin active operations on the prop erty. Just what the condition of the mine and company is cannot be learn ed, but few years ago number of Kingman people. put up money to take it over but nothing in the way of op- eration has been carried on. It is un- derstood that the mine was fully paid for although some debt was incurred and is being carried by one of the stockholders. The property is one of the most promising in the Ajo country and would be big producer if it was in the hands of people capable of ii :. nancing it. Savers holds a large block of stock in the company and has a personal interest in seeing it under development.

MAY START WORK
 ON CACTUS QUEEN

J. B .Tappan, former owner of a large part of the ground now embrac- ed in the estate of the Cactus Queen, Mining company, on Bill Williams Fork, reports that it is the intention. of the company to soon resume work. It is understood that the reason for the close down year ago was because of dispute between the manager and the large stockholders. Expenditures were too large for the results obtain ed, and an accounting was asked for Since that time effort has been made to get matters strengthened out so, that work could be again resumed, but. under different management. The. company has an enormous amount of good mineral land and it is to be hop ed that it will be able to get things going.

NC CRACKEN SHIPS
 50 TON LEAD ORE

This week the McCracken Silver Lead company shipped to the smelter a car of 50 tons of heavy lead ore, which was taken out in the opening up of the property. These shipments are going forward regularly to the smell ter, only a small percentage being concentrates. Mill ore is being open ed everywhere in the property and the indications are that this property will become one of the largest shippers of concentrates in the state. With the property developed to the 500 level, a new road to closer point on the railroad, and added mill facilities the McCracken would be a rival of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan, only lack ing the zinc that was a stumbling block in the progres sof that great Idaho mine for years.

UNITED vERDEsW|LL
 MINE CALCINED ORES

The United Verde is preparing to
 extract the great mass of ores that
 have been calcined in the old works
 by the fire that has been kept partly under control the past fifteen years. The old part of the mine, where great bodies of sulphides have existed caught fire from oxidation and have burned through the various large stopes until it has about consumed all the. sulphuric material at hand. This mass of material, although it still gives off it's sulphurous fumes, is to be dug into by large steam shovels and the material sent direct to the fur naces at Clarkdale. It is the impress sion that ore to the value of millions of dollars will be stopped out and the ground will be filled in partly to allow of the, cutting down of the grade for the railroad across that part of the United Verde estate. The cutting out of this burned area will be of great to the balance Iof the mine, as gases are escaping from the burn ing mass into other parts of the mine, although the bulkheads are supposed to- be air tight. i

LOCATES PLACER MINE
 IN THE CHEMEHUEV|S

A Mr. Bush has located large part of what heretofore has been known as the Red Hills placer ground, in the Chemehuevis valley and is said to have important mining people con- nected with him. The ground is to be tested out with drilling machines to ascertain what may lie on bedrock. So far only shallow shafts have been sunk to the hardpan, none of these holes going to the primary rocks with exception of what IS known as the Smith shaft, which is located in the old field.
 The old placer ground was the first placer opened in the state, having been found in 1856 and later worked by whites and Mexicans. The ground yielded large amount of gold but owing to it's condition could only be famed out by dry washers. Water was scarce and had to be hauled to the camp for domestic use. Was it possible to obtain sufficient water for hydraulic mining the mines would have been worth an immense sum of money, but the river flows about seven miles away from the main de- posit and at a decline of 600 feet be- low the placer grounds. Some small springs exist during the early winter and spring, but dry up in the sum- mer time, but with drilling operations it is expected that water may be found on bedrock sufficient for camp uses.

GOVERNMENT WINS FROM s. P

aa
 Another big oil Suit has been won by the government from the Southern Pacific railroad company, the decision being handed down by Federal Judge Robert s. Bean, of Portland, Oregon. The lands are estimated to be worth $13,000,O00 and are situated in the Kern oil fields of California. This case has been in the courts for num- Der of years, every phase of the oil game being gone into in the trial of the cause. The government contended that when the Southern Pacific rail- road company made selection of the lands it was aware of it's oil bearing character and therefore were preclud- ed from taking title under the patent issued it. While this is one of the many cases that have held oil develop ment in the big Kern field back, it is now probable that the government will go into the oil business on just as big 1 ! scale as the individual and that there ] nay be large acreages leased to cor ,orations and individuls on a reason able basis.

27 l. W. WIS SENT TO
 FEDERAL PENITENT|ARY

A Federal Jury at Kansas City, re. gently found twenty-seven members of the Industrial Workers of the World guilty of conspiracy against the Gov ernment. Within two hours after the verdict was announced Judge John G. Pollock began to call up the convicted men for sentence and, after giving each of the twenty-seven chance to make statement, imposed sentences ranging from three and one-half to nine years including the cost of prose cution. The substance of the four counts of the indictment under. which the defendants were convicted follows:
 1. Conspiracy to bring about Q revolutionary overthrow of the United States and to interfere with the var ious laws enacted as part of the war Maximum penalty under this count is six years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
 2. Conspiracy to violate the Draft Act by urging men to refuse to regis ter. Maximum penalty is two years in prison and $10,000 fine.
 3. Conspiracy under the Espionage act to hinder recruiting of soldiers by the Encouragement of enlistment. Maximum penalty is twenty years in prison and $10,000 fine.
 4. Conspiracy, under the Food and Fuel Control Act, to curtail the pro luction of food and fuel. Maximum penalty two years in prison and fine ,f $10,000.

SENATE SILVER IS
 DRIFTING ON 300

The Senate Silver mine is driving
 the drift north and south from the goa level. To the north the drift is in excellent mill ore, the values being about 37 ounces silver. To the south the drift has not yet encountered the ore but it is expected that it will be broken into at any time. The ore lies beneath the drift and will be caught up when the drift is turned enough to be brought in contact with the vein. The values ought to be just as good in the south drift as in the north, although it is probable that another ore body will be encountered when the drift has reached under the big outcrop that lies to the south of the old ore bodies. As soon as the ore bodies have been definitely located on this level the work of shaft sink ing will again be taken up.

COPPER
 STILL INVITING.

While copper is somewhat stagnant in the markets of the country shares in the companies of Arizona are still among the most inviting of the states investments. At the present time new companies are being formed with shares selling for from 75 cents to $1.50. Arizona is a real copper state. Nowhere can you go in the mining counties without encountering copper outcrops. The big belt extends from away down in Mexico to far into the northwest, Mohave county being in the center of the big belt. Mohave county has made little effort to develop it's copper mines, but the day will come when the big veins will receive merit ed attention. Copper will always be a standard metal in the worlds trade, holding its place with iron products. Day by day it's uses will be extended until they reach far greater limits than today especially in alloy with steel. Rails that have been so alloyed resist frost cracks, and minimize &C., cidents on railroads from broken rails in the winter time, an item in itself in calculable in value to both the rail- roads and travelling public. Many are the other uses that will be found for the metals associated with copper, but the red metal in itself has a place in the sun.

CROSSCUT SHOWS BIG
 UNITED AMERICAN VEIN

The crosscut from the 300 level of the United Eastern has hot yet reach cd the wall although an immense area of quartz vein has been opened. The vein carries values that would ordin-- arily be considered excellent mill ore, but the management is not banking on the ore, having in mind the possibility of getting better values with depth. As soon as the fact is demonstrated that they have crossed the vein into the wall sinking will be resumed with the intention of driving to the 800 level. The crosscut was run from the 800 to get line on the location of the veins in the big vein mass that lies to the south and this having been proven up every effort will be put in in getting to the level where the big ore body is expected. No one had in view the possibility of cutting an ore body on the 300 and the shareholders and management are highly elated with the ore body that was brought to view. It is possible that by driving a few feet in either direction big body of high grade may be opened, but this work will be held in abeyance un- til the shaft has been sunk to the deep level. The strike has occasioned demand for the shares of the company, but no one here can be found who wishes to take profit at this time. Shares that sold for 15 cents are quot ed from 35 cents to 50 cents and it is expected that the dollar mark will be reached shortly after the first of the year.

OLD DEAN MINE
 IS LOOKING GOOD

The old Dean mine is being operated by force of men, William Dunlap be- ing foreman. The opening up of the old work is said to have uncovered some large bodies of good shipping ore while the amount of mill ore is sufficient to keep a good sized plant in operation for long time to come.
 The Dean mine was located in the seventies by Bill Dean, prospector from Nevada, who came with the rush to Pioche and later into this state He found some very good silver ore in the outcrop and it was he who began the driving of the crosscut tunnel that later cut the vein about 200 feet below the apex. The vein at that point was found to be about 60 feet wide, but somewhat broken. Later this cross cut was connected with the shaft and the vein drifted on. Little effort was made to open the vein on the tunnel level, although there is a possibility of opening up big ore body. This is especially true to the east of the adit, where the vein runs underneath big. cienega, or marsh and where old time miners have believed an ore body existed. The work done has been above the level and the work was of the "coyote" variety, there being prac- tically no real mining undertaken. With the property nowsjnsthe hands of mining men we expect ffy hear good reports of it.

Preparedness

Judge White is telling with relish of his encounter with a certain mat ron of the Wiltshire district. It seems her husband had been spending most of his nights at the club and the lady hinted to his honor that one of these days she might bring the matter into court. It was serious. The other day however, encountering the judge on the street, she buttonholed him, saying:
 "Judge, I'm sorry I said all those things about my husband. He is all right after all"
 "Why the change of heart?" asked White, curiously.
 "Well, the other night a burglar broke into the house and my husband laid him out with a poker. I had heard he was a poker expert and now I understand. The dear boy has been spending his nights preparing for just such an emergency."-Los Angeles Times.

ARlONA'S METAL PRODUCTION FOR THE
 YEAR Sl74,559,39

The production of Arizona's mines for the year 1919, as estimated by the Arizoan State Tax Commission was STA, 4,5559 1888, as compared with $205, 100000 during 1918. The clos ing down of number of mines dur ing the year greatly retarded produc- tion, the copper mines having cur tailed mine and shelter operations, while the gold mines were hit by a strike of miners that put them out of commission for practically sixty days. Had the mines been run on full time the production would have been greatly in excess of that of for mer years. The tungsten and molly bdeunm market went to pieces which greatly cut the production of those metals.
 The mineral production totaled 19,- 188,716.20 dry tons, and the average value per ton fro mthe gross yield was $9.10.
 Copper production amounted to about sixteen times the value of all the other minerals produced, gold and silver following next.
 Copper produced amounted to 729,- OO1, ,687.06 pounds, of which S2,322,- 226.61 pounds were marketed at an average price of 5 .23921, or total of 63,218,516.35.
 Gold production amounted to 249,- 259.0S ounces, the average price being $2O.43, and the total value being $5, ,002, ,706.43.
 In silver production the state had 5 5,126 6,O54.29 ounces the average price being $.9727, and the total value being | A ,986, ,140.67.
 In lead the state produced 6,622,- O52.O3 pounds at an average value of S. .O667, or a total of $441, ,563.26.

WORK
 AT BLACKBERRY NINE

William Neagle general manager
 of the Blackberry mine, was in King
 man several days this week. He re-
 ports that the underground work on
 that property is progressing and that
 the new ground being opened up is
 showing good values. The Blackberry
 is one of the properties that should be handled in big way, the expenditure
 of several hundred thousand dollars
 being necessary to put it in shape for
 the production of ore on scale com
 mensurate with the capacity of the
 mill. New shaft work is necessary, further sinking below the present level and the carrying of the lateral work into the new ground would make of the property one of the big silver-lead producers of the state. The present owners holding large majority of the shares of the company could readily finance it should they give up part of their holdings and allow big capital to enter and take part in the new cam paign of development. The ore is there and the mine is to be made frora the massive ore bodies that may be opened with the expenditure of money. It will have to be operated on a large scale and it is to be regretted that this has not been done. Mohave county needs this mine and the world needs it's product, so We hope that capital and the mine may be brought together to bring about this much-to- be result.
