K|NCMAN CON. IS DRIVING BIG TUNNEL

Repairs have been carried on to such an extent at the tunnel of the Kingman Consolidated Mining com- pany that work on the big bore will be put under way next Monday. Operations at the mill will also be re- sumed and that plant will soon be turning out concentrates. Supt. Hall oran reports that he will push the tunnel with all possible speed, the ex- pectation being that the bore will reach below the ore body in the Prince George vein before the first of the year. In the event that this ore body is entered high grade mill ore in large quantity will be had from that point to the Banner, the surface showing on the big vein being exceptionally good Below the old ore body, or rather to the east of the old operations, good mill ore may be encountered at any time, the surface indicating heavy naturalization.
 There is no larger vein in the coun- try than the Prince George, and while it is not all mineralized there is big ore body across lenzes running from 10 to 30 feet in width, as indi- cated by diamond drill bore through S9 feet of vein matter These lenzes carried values of about 20 ounces sil- yer and some lead. Of course, the old ore body was high in grade and aver aged 13 feet in width, and the ship pablo ore running above 200 ounces silver. With the tunnel under this ore crosscuts may be carried into the other veins, all of which carried high values in silver at superficial depths.

One Third Worlds Gold

Thirty-four per cent of the coined gold of the world is now in the Uni ted States, the report of the treasury for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, showing $2,6S7,512,O0O, which is nearly a billion dollars more than we had on the 31st day of December, 1914. The United States has been sending out gold to foreign countries at lively rate the past year, but owing to the enormous mass of in terest that is being paid to us gold imports are far exceeding the exports The United States uses more gold in trade channels than other nations and we must hay the yellow metal to maintain our financial standing with the countries of the world. With America the mint is far greater than the treasury presses.

MINING INVESTMENTS ARE
 SUPERIOR TO |NDUSTR|ALS

rican mines, and our mines in the Black Hills, is the gold in them; the value of our mines in Montana, in Michigan, in Utah, in Nevada and in Arizona is the copper within these enormous ore bodies; the value of the United States Steel corporation is in the iron ore and its coal; the value of the deposits in Leadville and Mis- souri is the lead and silver they con- tain, and no change in process can in any way affect their intrinsic val ues. Nothing can destroy the value of the soft coal lands in Pittsburgh
 If you take this into consideration, you can realize that a gold mine, like GAO acres in the valley of the Red River of the North, has value that cannot be destroyed"
 While we are on the subject we want to present tribute to the miner by an eminent minister, the Rev. Dr. Robert Mcintyre. This tribute has been employed over and over again by wildcat mining promoters in their literature, but that does not deprive it of it's real value to those who would get right conception of the mining business. Rev. Dr. McIntyre's words are as follows:
 q admire the miners wealth. It is clean. There is neither blood nor tears in it. It is acquired away from the scheming and cut-throat competi- tion that characterizes ordinary ven lures, where the success of one man often means the downfall of some oth- CT man, Or perhaps number of men. Nobody has been pinched; nobody has been wronged. The miner who digs a fortune out of the ground has the satisfaction of knowing that he has not robbed a soul, even though he be- comes thousand times millionaire The man who makes a fortune on the board of trade, or stock exchange, or in building up gigantic business, adds nothing to the worlds store of available wealth. The world, in oth- CT words, is no richer because he is richer. He is richer because some other is poorer. The miner, on the other hand, whether he digs out $10 or $100,000, adds that much to the worlds success. As I look at the matter, there are few producers of wealth. The only man comparable with the miner is the farmer. He gets what he has direct from nature; he produces perishable wealth. While he meets want his contribution to the worlds wealth, therefore, is not a permanent one like the miners. The miner is today the king of wealth producers of this country and I honor him above all others. It is no dis honor, it needs no apology, to emulate his example, or to assist him in his efforts"

A few weeks ago in pointing out the superiority of mining investments to those in industrials, made refer enee to the eminent mining engineer, MT. J. Parke Charming. 1 have more recently come upon the article to which I referred from speech made by MT. Charming in which he takes a strong ground on the subject, says the "Outlooker," in the Boston Metal and Mining Outlook.
 The speech was delivered before the finance forum of the Y. M. c. A in New York and deserves to be not ed as the ripe opinion of man who has figured in large way in the min ing and smelting business. Mr. Charming was engaged to go over the mining estates of various proposed subsidiary companies in the Lake Su- perior district to be included in the once proposed Calumet & Hecla mer- ger proposition. MT. Charming did about three weeks work for the Cal umet & Hecla people, for which he re- ceived fee of $25,0O0. On the basis of his appraisement of the mines pro posed for the merger the Calumet & Hecla wished to form a $10,000,000 corporation. We mention this to show the great importance of MT. Charming as an authority on mining subjects. We quote his opinion as expressed in this address referred to as follows:
 "In conclusion I wish to reiterate that if one uses the same care in in vesting in mining stocks that one does in investing in railroad stocks, that his return in the long run will be greater. I would, from my point of view, put mining stock far above in dustrials, for the reason that indus trials, to large extent, depend upon processes that may over night be rem dered worthless. Who does not re- call the fact that in the early days aluminium was made by what is known as the sodium process, and the minimum price at which the then new metal could be sold at profit was sixty cents per pound. The discovery of the Cowles electrolytic method made it possible to sell aluminium at a profit at thirty cents and over night the property of the Hull company which produced aluminium by the sod ium process, fefl from several million pounds sterling to nothing. Here was purely industrial concern whose property was rendered worthless by a new discovery. Had the dominant factor in the production of aluminium been the ore from which it was pro- duced, and had the Hull company con trol of the supply, or even part of it, this change in the process would not have affected them.

WESTCARD AND PARTY
 PARK TO PARK TOUR

Yesterday a meeting of the busi- ness men and those interested in good road work was called at the directors room of the Arizona Central Bank, a large number of citizens being pres ent, to meet with A. L. Westgard, who is touring the country in the in terest of the Park to Park highways association. MT. Westgard was about two days behind schedule, but his talk to the meeting was worth while.
 The proposed Park to Park high way is one of the most important of the road building projects of the United States. With the building of the main trunk lines these connecting links with the playgrounds of the country will bring more and more people to a realization of the vast ness of the country and the necessity of far greater roadbuilding. Mir. Westgard is thoroughly capable of interesting people in the roadbuilding program and so far has aroused wide interest in the national parks of the country. A few years ago the Park to Park project was only a red line on a map, but we are informed that today the roads are being constructed from all points into these wonderful playgrounds. It is the intention of securing federal aid for the roads, and not only will the people backing the new highways bring aid to their own project, but they will also aid in every roadway that links up the thorough fares to the national beauty places. On this roadway will be every park of consequence in the west.
 Leaving Denver on the 25th of this month will be large number of cars and fully 100 people who will make the tour of the parks with MT. Vest gard, the itinerary bringing them through Kingman. As soon as spring opens a still greater number of peo- pie will be piloted over the highways to these national playgrounds as we'll as into the camps and places worth seeing as side trips.
 With MT. Westgard was his wife, who has accompanied him on every trip that he has made across the con- tinent. They will reach Ash Fork tonight and will confer with the highway commission of Yavapai coun- ty tomorrow.

HIGHLAND MINING GO. SHOWS DEVELOPMENT

l.. R. Meyer, of Minneapolis, arriv- ed in Kingman this morning and de- parted to the mines of the Highland Mining company, accompanied by c. B. Bell and wife.
 The property of the Highland Min ing company is one of the greatest areas of mining land in the county and the big developments that are be- ing carried on there is fast getting it in shape for production. The min es show immense ore bodies in the openings and when the deeper tunnel penetrates the veins enough ore will be opened to insure the operation of big mill for many years to come. The ores are high in gold, silver and lead values, as we'll as carrying some copper and zinc. During the several years that MT. Bell has been in charge of the mines adit drifts have been run, shafts sunk and the property opened to depth of about 600 feet. Besides this property the company is the owner of the Golconda mines, produced millions of dollars in gold, silver and zinc. This mine has a shaft at depth of 400 feet on the incline and is capable of turning out an immense tonnage without further development. A deep tunnel would reach below the present level and bring to light the big ore bodies of contiguous claims.

In order to ascertain the time of day, the Apache Indians used a gourd on which the stars of heaven were marked. As the constellation rose the Indian could tell the hour by re- ferring to the gourd, and by turning the gourd round he could tell the or der in which the cancellations might be expected to appear.
