MINING NEW S Here and Elsewhere ANsoN H gMITH
ARIZONA HERCULES
 ENGINEER IN K|NCMAN

. A. H. Hawkins, who has been eff ficiency engineer for the Arizona Hercules Copper company, at Ray, Arizona, is visiting in Kingman. MT. Hawkins informs us that the Her. cules has been closed down by reason of a strike of miners and millmen. It appears that the companies oper- ating at Ray and other places above Florence have been paying above the copper scale, but owing to the low price of copper this company found it. self in position where it could not meet the high cost of labor and get by, wherefore it cut the wage to the scale and the miners went out on a strike. As the other mines were eff fected the men in other employments concluded to either force the Hercules to pay the wage or shut down. The Hercules shut down stheir mines and mills on the 31st and the men are looking for work at other points. The high cost of living is at the bot tom of the strike situation in Ari- zona, and if this could be taken care of miners would be satisfied to ac- cept the sliding scale. The Hercules was not paying dividends, all advances having to be met by the shareholders. During the year large developments were carried on that would sooner or later result in the ability of the com pany to meet increased labor costs, but it was concluded to close the works until such times as operating expenses could be reduced.
 S. E. Hollister, who was manager of the Leviathan company here, was also with the Hercules as Notation engi- neer.

DEVELOPMENT ON
 C. Q. ). CONTINUES
 TO LOOK PROMISING

Work on the c. o. D. mine is pro- gressing, the water having been re- duced to the 300 level. When the new shaft broke through into the 300 level the water raised more than 70 feet and the pumps were drowned. A new pump was installed and with buckets and pump the water was re- duced day by day until the drift was reached. It will probably take some time to remove the water from this level to allow of the sampling of that part of the mine, but with the large pumps and buckets an enormous vol tune of water will be brought to the surface every 24 hours. The com pany has in view a large amount of immediate work on this property !n the near future, in the event that it proves up the expectations of the en- gineering staff. A new schaft is 10 be sunk to the 400 level and other inn provements that will entail the ex- penditure of a large sum of money is to be put under way. A survey of a roadway from the end of the Wrigley road to the mine is now being made and the extension of the road will be undertaken at once. This road will give better entry into the c. O. D. and Rico Camps than they have at present. A tram is also to be built from the mine to the valley as soon as the mine has been placed on pro duction basis, which would materially cut the costs of operation.
 The development of the c. O. D. is one of the most important events in the mining history of the Wallapai district. For years the c. O.. D. was one of the largest shippers of high grade ore in the county, all the ore having been taken from above the 300 level. Only the high grade ore was taken, the lower grades being left in the mine. It is estimated that the mine has many thousands of tons of high grade mill ore that will be available as soon as the dewatering of the property has been accomplish ed. A new shaft would get below all the old workings and make possible the opening of the mine at a much lower level. The. present manage ment is capable and the treasury is ample to put through all the improve ments that have been mapped out.

RICH ORE IS CUT .. @
 IN RURAL.bUCKEYE

The drifts on the Rural mine have been continued into rich ore, every opening showing better and better values as the work progressed. Some of the richest ore ever taken from that property is now being cut into. To the east the main tunnel level is being driven forward in excellent ore, some of which carries values away into the thousands of ounces in silver
 with considerable gold. In the drift toward the Rural from the ITO level of the Buckeye the ore is. very rich So far the mine is opening up far and away beyond the expectation of the management. So important have the new strikes in the property become that M, B. Dudley and associates in the undertaking feel that they may now go ahead with the consideration of large milling plant to handle, the large tonnage established in the mine stopes and in the dumps. Shoots have proven to be much longer than those opened by the old operators of the property and the ore bodies are found to be far larger in with and ex- tent, even in what was termed the Hproven ground" ..

VALUABLE LAND PURCHASE FOR
 DATE ORCHARD

At Yuma last Friday, Director D. w. Working of the, Arizona Experi- ment Station, made cash deposit as the first payment on a tract of land adjoining the Yuma Date Or chard and Horticultural Station; and now the Experiment Station is as- sured of the long-desired addition to it's facilities for doing experiment tai work under the special conditions which obtain in the Yuma Valley. At its last session the Arizona legisla- ture made an appropriation of $10,- 900 to enable the Station to purchase additional land. This fund will now be used to pay for better tract of land than any one and expected that it would be possible to secure.
 It had been hoped that the appro- priation would enable the Station to secure 20 acres of land. In view of the fact that prices have been rising rapidly in the Yuma Valley, it is a
 matter of congratulation that the new purchase will actually add 21.6 acres to the available land. Profes- sor Crider and the others who united in recommending the purchase of the new tract are very much pleased with the purchase and with the present prospects for enlarging the usefulness of the experimental work on the Yuma Date Orchard, which should now be able to live up to it's full title-Yuma Date Orchard and Horticultural Sta tion.
 It is worthy of note in this con- nection that the Experiment Station is under special obligation to the owner of the tract and to Superin- tendent L. L. Odle of the Fort Yuma Indian School, who made possible the purchase with the funds available. It is not the first time that the Sta tion has had occasion to prize and profit by the public spirit of MT. o. L. Townsend.

SHIPPING GOOD ORE
 FROM THE ANTLER

Tony Hill and John Watson, who have lease on the Antler and Copper World mines, in the Wallapai noun tains to the east of Yucca, have just received returns from another car of ore that was shipped to the Copper Queen smelter. The ore gave asvalue of 26 per cent copper and some gold and silver. The car contained about 40 tons. This is the fourth car the men have shipped. A. B. Beets, act ing manager for the Phelps-Dodge company, was at the property a few days ago and arranged for a lease for term of two years to Hill and
 Watson. The men claim that they we'll be able to make regular ship ments from the ore in sight for a number of months.

GREEN QUARTZ IS
 LOOKING GOOD 's ".a ~S'~

The new shaft on the Green Quartz has reached a depth of about 35 feet and is in four feet of ore running about $15 per ton. This is said to be the best showing ever found in the property and the management feels that with a depth of 100 feet the mine will make good. The Green Quartz is among the best properties of the south end of the Oatman camp being close to the Adams and Nellie and covering parts of the same vein system. The company expects to do a large amount of work on the mine this winter and with the present showing the prospect for the opening of large producer is excellent.

 I~ The five sons and their wives and
 khildren and the one daughter with
 her husband and children all consti-
 luted typical old fashioned Ameri- Can Chrastmas gathering which with the after-dinner talks from the Mother and Father giving a resume Of the years that had passed and the bright after-dinner talks of the sons and their wives, the daughter and her hus- band and the eldest grandchildren all served to make up most memorable function and celebration that was most beautiful in it's conception and scope and demonstrated that the typi- cal American family with our early conception of Xmas and it's cheer has not passed out, and for western man like MT.

PLANS TO OPERATE
 ON LARGE SCALE.

James F. Moss, of Santa Barbara, California, who has taken over a big acreage of mining territory to the, south and east of the United Ameri- can ground. at Oatman, was in King, man yesterday on his way to Chloride. and White Hills. He states that the first payment has been made on the ground and that operations on large scale would be put under way in a short time. The property is among the most inviting of the good things of Oatman and it is to be hoped that the people will put up large treas ury to take care of the necessary work. Now is the time to get to work in this important gold field and bring in another new producer.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH,
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is\ a fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use makeshift, but Is always advisa-
BILE to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from
simple homemade canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
cents a shampoo by getting some
canthrox from your druggist and dis
solving a teaspoonful in q cup of hot
water. This makes enough shampoo
liquid 10 apply to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head, as with
most preparations. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster
and softness will also delight YOU
