The Laundry Soda You Eat
With Your Biscuits

What are the chemicals that modern laun-
dries use2
Like the COLLINS that in our childhood days
lurked around the corner, these 90 chemicals
have been imagined by many housewives to
be fearsome things-and most certainly never
to be used on the family wash. The words
chemical" and harmful have been thought
of as having one and the same meaning.
Yet we live chemicals--on some of the same
chemicals that help clean clothes. The water
we drink is a chemical compound of the gases
oxygen and hydrogen. We breathe air that is
mixture of oxygen, nitrogen and inert gases.
I Everything we wear and use is chemical
No work can be done without the assistance of
s.. chemicals in some form. These helpful
chemicals are friendly Chemicals in the
same way that bacteria the roots of clover
friendly germs
In common with those of the housewife, our
friendly chemicals" sours, mild soda,
Javelle Water, Clipped SOAP and pure water.

THE
 CATHERINE MINE

The financing of the Catherine mine by the New Comstock mining company caused a special meeting of the large shareholders of the corpor- ation to be held in the office of the Mohave County Miner, in Kingman, last Tuesday, for the purpose of in- creasing the capitalization from one million one dollar shares to two mil lion one dollar shares.
 There was present at the meeting of the company Charles Sutro and P. I. Manson, of San Francisco; Ben H. Loeb, of New York; o. D. M. Gaddis, w. c. Howard, Charles Sherman and Anson H. Smith, of Kingman. More than SOO,000 shares of the outstand- ing stock of the company was repres- ented and agreed to the increased is- sue of stock.
 During the day Messrs Howard Sutro and Loeb went out to the Cath inc mine to look over the recent work done and appeared to be greatly pleased with the condition. O. H. Hershey, the we'll known mining en- gineer had just completed an exam lndClOn Ol Clle IllHe ana lI IS unueI- stood that he has made favorable report on it. MT. Hershey will also help the work of tracing out the fault system of the property, which caused the practical abandonment of the mine some years ago. The vein has been picked up beyond the fault anc is showing one of the finest ore bod ies in the Blue Ridge range. Cross. cuts have exposed B feet of ore which carry mill values.
 MT. Manson departed Tuesday night to Los Angeles, where he was called as counsel in an important law case and Messrs. Sutro and Leob de- parted to New York Wednesday evening, where it is understood tht company will be financed.
 The Catherine mine is one of tht most promising of gold properties il the county and with heavier machin cry and other necessary equipmen it should soon be in the producing class. The mine is under the man agement of w. c. Howard, who ii fast getting it in shape for produc ton,

RICO EXPLORATION COMPANY SHIPS
 CARLOAD OF ORE

A carload of ore is being sent out from the Rico Exploration company's property to the Humboldt shelter. The car will weigh about 40 tons and the value of the ore is said to be about $360 per ton. Samples taken from the sacked ore gave 7.S6 ounc- es gold and 2O6 ounces silver. This ore was taken from the west drift, stopes not having yet been opened on that level.
 The Rico is under the management of M. c. Cleveland, who is getting splendid results. He expects to be- gin sinking to new level shortly and will then crosscut the vein for the purpose of ascertaining if there are other ore bodies close by. At the c. o. D. mine, which is to the east of the Rico, another ore body is known to exist and there is reason to believe that this vein will be found correspondingly rich. The property is in excellent shape not only for pro- ducing, but for the continuation of further development.

gentlemen operated it for some time and then sold it to San Francisco people. The mine was worked for many years, but finally passed back into the hands of MT. Ridenour, who sold it to the present owning com pany. Since the new company took over the property an immense a. mount of development work has been carried on. A shaft has been sunk to the 900 level, drifts carried off at several of the levels and crosscuts run to open new ore bodies. On the 400 great body of ore was opened. In places this ore body averages over 16 feet in width and the values are above $15 per ton in silver. The ore has been opened for 400 feet along the levels and stopes carried up into the ore bodies. At the 600 level drifts have been carried into the ore bodies, and on the Sth and 9th levels drifts have been carried into the ore bodies showing very high values in silver, and also carrying some lead Drifts have also been carried into the old workings to the south, where splendid ore bodies have been opened in the oxidized zone, as we'll as ir the sulphides.
 The work of opening the mine has been under the personal direction o1 William Neagle, one of the best mine managers in the state. MT. Neage has given the work his best effort during the past two years and the development of the property to its
 present splendid stage shows what economic management and intelli. gent direction can accomplish. Al the present time there is enough ore l blocked in the mine to keep the big mill in operation for at least two years and every days work opens more and more ore, as all the drifts are being driven on the ore bodies.
 The company has big group o: mines, having nearly two miles of To- cations on the main vein of the group, besides taking in many impor tant adjoining claims. So bright iE the future and so important have been the discoveries of ore along the
 main Blackberry lode that number or new companies are coming III I( start immediate development to the north of the parent vein system.
 Gus s. Holmes, of Salt Lake City and James Murray, of Butte, Mon
 tana, furnished the sinews witf which development of this propert! has been carried on, and it is to theil faith in the property that it now owes it's place as one of the big pro ducers of the state. Messrs. Murra! and Holmes were present the first o. the week when the mill was put il commission for it's long run, the mer being accompanied by their wive: and friends. The success of this biz plant is one of the pleasing mining features of the county, and everyone has been looking forward to thu
 starting of the mill with interest
 and that it is success, although ex pected, nevertheless the people fee that one of the most important epocl in the mining history of the bas' mines of the county has been reach ed.

bought quantities of supplies in h. dia and thus had created an abnOr- mally large trade balance in favor of India. India, being a silver absorb ing country. demanded payment in silver, but, excepting the silver in the treasury of the United States, there was no stock of the metal in exis- tepce large enough to satisfy the de- mand England was an ally of the United States, and crisis in our fi- nancial affairs would most certainly have had bad effect on the outcome of the war. England's interest at this time was our interest. It is claimed that the Walsh-Pitman bill was passed because, and solely be- cause, the India crisis precipitated it. Ours was the only available stock of silver adequate to meet the situation.

Another DC-30--Mng z

Another DC-3U--MnS
 Another big mill has been put in commission in Mohave county-the Blackberry. This big mill has been in course of construction about nine months, owing to the eXigencies of the war and to the slow moving of necessary machinery. But it is now grinding away on ore from the big mine and showing a high percentage of saving.
 The Blackberry was designed by F. c. Sherman, one of the best known mill men of the inter- mountain country. It is capable of handling 200 tons of ore every "A hours, and at the present time is crushing 65 tons every eight hours through 100- mesh screens. Every labor saving appliance known to milling has been applied to this plant. The ore comes from the mine, passes into large bun kers, through powerful Gates crusher onto conveyor belts, into the top of the mill, where it is dumped into bunkers capable of holding 100 tons of ore. From these bunkers it passes automatically to the ball mill, whence it emerges pasty mass that goes to the Notation machines. Af- ter the oil takes up all possible metal the residue goes to the tables, where practically all the metal content is extracted. From the tables the tails go through filter press and are then carried by belt conveyor to the pits. By the process there is no han ding of the ores after leaving the mine, everything being done auto matically. =.
 The first weeks run of the mill showed that better than S5 per cent of the values in the ores were being recovered. The oil Notation concen- trates carried "A per cent lead, 36C ounces silver and a small amount of gold, while the concentrates recover ed from the tables carried 24O ounces silver and approximately the same amount of lead and gold as from the other machines. The mill shows that it can be crowded to a production of better than 210 tons daily and it is expected that this tonnage will soon be going through the plant. It is said by the management that with the mill running to tull capaclty tne production will exceed S125,OOO pel month.
 The Blackberry mill is really one of the finest milling plants in the state. It has exceptionally good ma chinery and it is served with cleo tric motor power. Electricity is sup : piled from a three-unit oil burning plant close to the mill, which insur es constant power. One. of the units furnishes power to the mine fol thoist, compressor and pumping uses and the reserve power unit can bt switched to either mine or mill in stantly in case of emergency. Ev erything has been made as perfect in and about the plants as human in genuity can devise:
 The Blackberry mine, without . which the big mill would be mis homer, was one of the early proper ties to be discovered in this county It was found in 1874 by w. B. Rid , enour and Samuel Crozier. These

ORGANIZING MINING co.

w. w. Lewis has taken over a group of claims on the Blackberry lode and has incorporated company to be known as the Silver Bell Ex- ploration company, with capitaliza- tion of $150,0O0. The main vein of the property is opened by shaft 100 feet deep and shows an ore body that averages $25 for a width of 30 inches.
 It is theintention of the new com
 any to begin the driving of a tun- nel to tap the vein at a considerable depth below the present shaft level and to drive on the vein under the mountain. At a point of adit the mountain is very abrupt and con siderable depth can be obtained in driving about 400 feet. The tunnel will be run from the west side of the Peacock range.

COMPRESSOR FOR
 DAISELL COMPANY

The Daisell Mining company has just installed compressor on the Twin mines and expect to have it in commission within few days.
 A drift is being driven on the vein on the 150 level and excellent ore is showing. The ore body is of good width and the assorted ore will pay we'll to ship to the shelter. This company has been operating the mines the past six or eight months, under the superintendency of c. O. EriXon.

 Silver at the present time com mands the strongest position of all the metals. The United States gov ernment still maintains the throttle upon silver prices, which were fixed last April by the Walsh-Pittman Act at $1 an ounce. April 23, 1918, the Walsh-Pittman silver bill authorized the use of $35O,OO0,OOO in silver lying in the United States treasury for the cancellation of foreign obligations, and the replacing of this amount by the purchase of silver bullion at $1 per ounce, which was signed by the President. This legislative enact ment has a vital historical bearing. It has been claimed that had this leg islation not been put through con- gress there was possibility that the war might have had a different is sue, though this is quite hard to be- lieve.
 At the time of the passage of this act a crisis existed in the financial affairs of England. England had

WAR MINERALS PRODUCERS
 GET CONGRESSIONAL AID

Some time ago the Arizona Bureau of Mines began the collection of data relative to the losses incurred by Ari- zona miners as result of the sudden decrease in the demand for war min erals which occurred immediately following the signing of the armis- tice. The Director is very glad to announce that Representative Carl Hayden on February 24th, introduced a bill in the House of Representativ- es providing relief for producers of manganese, chrome, pyrites, or tung- sten mined to supply the urgent needs of the Nation in the prosecu- ton of the war. This Bill has pass ed both the House and the Senate, and has been signed by the Presi- dent, so is now in force. It author izes the Secretary of the Interior to "pay such net losses as have been suffered by any person, firm, or cor poration by reason of producing or preparing to produce either mangan- csc, chrome, pyrites or tungsten in compliance with the request or de- mand of the Department of the h. terior, War Industries Board, War Trade Board, Shipping Board, or the Emergency Fleet Corporation to sup ply the urgent needs of the Nation in the prosecution of the war;" The Bill further provides that the Secre- tary shall consider, approve, and dis pense of only such claims as shall be made hereunder and filed with the Department of the Interior within three months from and after the ap- proval of the Act; that no claims shall be paid unless it shall appear to the Secretary that moneys were invested or obligations were incurred subsequent to April 6, 1917, and prior to November 12, 1918; that the minerals were produced from proper ties containing them in sufficient quantities to be of commercial i'm. portance; that no profits of any kind shall be included in the allowan- ce of such claims; and, further, that no investment for merely speculative purposes shall be recognized in any manner by the Secretary.
 A number of Arizona producers of war minerals have already cores bonded with the Bureau of Mines and nave 1ufnlSneQ the QaIa required tC present their claims properly, but il is believed that many others have failed to do this, and these should at once send in the following informa. tion to the Director, Arizona Bureau of Mines, Tucson, Arizona.

George Hill, manager of the Wal dron Mining company, accompanied by w. Van Doren, secretary of the company, were in Kingman Monday last, coming in from the mines. MT. Hill informs us that the company is now in good financial shape and in- tends to start campaign of develop ment on the property from the 600 level. A fine body of ore has been opened to the south of the main shaft and the drift will be driven farther on the vein. As soon as exploitation has reached below the heavy, outcrop to the south an effort will be made to put the milling plant in commits sion.
