MARION, Ohio, Nov. President
Elect Harding was making plans for
his southern vacation trip to-day. He
expects to leave Marion early Satur-
day, arriving at Point Isabel, Texas,
Monday morning.
A flood of requests has reached
Harding asking him to make speeches
enroute 1t Is probable he viii be
unable to avoid number Of talks, but
they will be of an informal nature
rather than political.
Difficulty is being experienced IN
arranging sailing schedule for the
Panama end of the trip. - Several
private yachts have been offered the
president-elect, but he probably VIII
sail on a regular passenger steamer
Every effort will be made by Pres1-
dent Elect Harding to avoid appearing
il, Washington until he goes there
March fourth to take the oath OF Of
Ace. He may find it necessary to
spend a few days there, however,
clearing out his desk in the senate
office building. Harding IS opposed
to taking any official part in senate
proceeding now.
He announced today that he will re-
sign as senator on the second Monday
in January, provided Harry L. Davis,
who will be inaugurated governor OF
Ohio on that date, will appoint Frank
B. Willis, senator-elect, to serve out
Harding's unexpired term.
One of the two avowed aims OF the
Harding administration will be the
final wiping out of sectionai1sm-
Throughout his campaign he has
pledged this and his first authorized
utterance on political issues since the
election was on the same question
This was in the form OF statement
authorized by the president-elect and
sent by G.. H. Van Fleet, managing
editor of the Marion Star, Hard1ngs
newspaper, to J. E. Brown, city editor
of the New Orleans States, in reply 10
a message of congratulation:
Senator. Harding asked our office
to utter his most grateful appreciation
of the fine vote given him in Louisi-
ana, particularly as it manifests
growing belief in the republican po-
sition. He asks me to say to you
that he has one ambition, which ne
has often expressed, to wipe out the
last yestige of sectionalism in America
in thought, in politics in. our economic
life and in government.

UNITED EASTERN
 SHARES CLIMBING

During the past week the United Eastern shares took a decided jump on the Los Angeles exchange, but Thursday the slump came, the shar- es dropping from $3.25 to $500. Just what caused this slump has not been made known, but it may be the usual bear movement which generally dom mates this exchange. The mine is producing heavily and the mill is making a high extraction. The oper- ating income of the company has in- creased largely since June, the July showing being $12.827 and the Aug ust $13.493. During the eight months of this year 69,776 tons of ore was sent to the mill, from which recovery of $1,435, ,181.45 was secured. The operating income was 7,S23.9S and the operating expense $622,$55.71. The ore showed a value of $23 for August, the highest since the mill was put in commission in 1917.
 It is said that the company has more than $6,O00,000 in ore reserves and the new work is sure to add larg- ely to this tonnage. A thorough drilling of the jmine with diamond drills is sure to bring to light ore bodies that would otherwise be missed in the ordinary exploration of the property. These drills have been in- stalled and will soon be at work from the 900 level.
 The United Eastern has had won derful management and few proper ties have been able to get the results that have been obtained from that great ore body.

How to Measure Trees Growth.

In the New York Botanical garden a new instrument has been attached to certain maple tree, attracting the attention of passers-by This is the "dendrograph"-a delicately adjusted machine which will actually register the rate of growth of tree-SlOw as that is A series of blocks of wood are attached firmly to the tree, and above these metal "collar" which, however, is in contact with the tree at only two points. A needle projects from one of these, the other end of which traces it's movements upon slowly revolving paper drum" Once week this paper is replaced by d fresh sheet and the clockwork wound up; otherwise the machine is self-regulating and needs no attention. The growth or expansion of the tree is shown by the needle.
 The instrument was devised by Dr. L. T. MacDougal, formerly director of laboratories at the New York BOtani- cal garden, and now director of the botanical research department of the Carnegie institution of Washington. The dendrOgraph is one of number of instruments which are being used this year to measure growth phenom- ena.-LeSlie'S Weekly.

K|NCNAN CON-
 SOL|DATED MILL
 NOW OPERATING

The big mill of the Kingman Con- solidated Mining company, at Stock ton Hill, was put in commission last evening and is said to have gone off without a bauble. The management has had force of men at work on the mill the past several months and it is understood that every new device that makes for better saving has been added.
 At the big tunnel at the foot of Stockton Hill, an entirely new plant of machinery is to be put in, the new compressor, electric motors and oth- CT machines having arrived at King man during the week. The founda- tions have been made ready to re- ceive the machinery and it will be in- stalled before the end of the coming week and then the tunnel will be driven ahead with all possible speed General Manager Halloran has been getting things shaped up for a big development campaign and at the same time expects take out large part of the development costs from the big ore reserves above the upper. tunnel level.

UNITED AMERICAN
 DRIFT IN l5O FEET

The Tom Reed drift from the Aztec shaft, on the 400 level has been run east 150 feet and is now within 450 feet of the United American west end line. The United American has cut a station on the 670 level and cross cutting toward the veins opened on the 500 level. The first vein to be cut was 8 feet thick on the 500 and it is expected to find it equally large and as good ore on the new level. It is expected that the Aztec vein will be cut by the 18th f October.
 The United American is showing life on the Los Angeles stock ex- change, the bid price being 37 cents, the highest in several months, and it is probable that within, the next 30 days it will reach 50 cents, especial ly in view of the operations that are being carried on at the deep level and at a point where important changes may be expected.

COPPER INQUIRIES
 SHOW INCREASE

The Boston Financial News says: Inquiries for copper metal are con- tlnuing to show increases and there are indications that domestic consum- CTS who have been out of the market for many months are now inclined to make arrangements for their future requirements. On some of the inquir- ies a substantial tonnage is involved. Leading selling agencies continue to quote 19 cents a pound for deliveries over September and October and are not willing to make any concessions in quotations.

and while it is expensive to do annual work on mines it is the only way that new mines will ever be found or that honest endeavor will be put forth to maintain the standing of claims. It is really the thing, this annual labor, and it is to be hoped that only the severest calamity to the country will cause congress to exempt the mines from this work. Mines too old to work in the deep mines could be em- ployed in doing assessment work, which would give them the necessary funds to continue their prospecting and enable them to keep up their own mines.
 While it is claimed that there is not an available supply of miners to perform the annual work on all the claims now being held, we believe that ample labor can always be counted on to maintain the desirable prospects and more. Labor is always willing to get out and do assessment work, no matter where the properties are and there is not day that inquiry is not made of us as to where such work may be had. It must be remembered that assessment work means the eX- penditure of $100 on each mining claim, that sum being computed at the going wage of the camp or dis trict, and the only thing that can be computed is the ammunition used in the work Or the timber or other neces- sary improvements entering into the development. And it is to be hoped that every mine owner will put forth an effort to see that fair and square assessment is done on every claim.

How Movies Are Triumphing.'

Mexico, We read in current dis. patches, has decided to lift the heavy censorship from the movies and to fos- ter the enterprise in every way. There seems to he no stopping the triumph ant march of the movie stars. Not long ago we read that DevOnshire House, the famous rendezvous of the Wings in London, had fallen before the cinema. The Alhambra and the Empire, famous music halls, are to go, too. England and the Continent appear to be as wild for the screen as we are here. All doors are opening to it. Not long ago the conservative Vatican sanctioned the picturing of an important religious function. Great are the movies Phil adelphia Record.

[. Q. ). MILL MACH
 |NERY IS ARRIVING

A large part of the milling ma chinery for the new c. O. D. mill has arrived at Kingman station and the work of hauling out to the mine will soon be under way. The mill will be entirely operated by electricity. The mill will be one of the most impor- tant in the county, many new flota- tion features being among the meth ods that will be employed in the sep aration of the ores. w. w. Widow son has been at work the past several months working out the flow sheet for the new plant and his laboratory tests have been eminently satisfac- tory.
 The C. O. D. shaft has reached a depth of 430 feet and an ore pocket has been put in below the station. With the completion of the pocket the work of cutting out the station will be undertaken, the broken ore and waste going into the pocket without hand ling. A crosscut will be driven across the vein at this point before the sink ing of the shaft will be carried to the 800 level. The ore body showed from the 300 to the 400 level, indicating that there was really better body of ore in that part of the mine than surface indications outcrop would i'm ply. Splendid mill ore is being open ed in this property and the impress sion prevails that this property will be one of the large producers of the state.

ASSESSMENT WORK

Many people have been relying on the recisSion of assessment work by congress this year ,and as there is little likelihood of this being done, many mining claims will revert t. year. It is possible that more as- sessment work will be done in Mo have than any of the other counties of the state, as there is more activity in all of the districts, button the whole there will be hundreds of claims upon which no assessment work will be done. In some of the counties of the state, as well as in adjoining states, it is held that thousands of claims have been held the past four years without a dollar being expended on assessment work, owing to the pas sage of the law eliminating annual work on mining claims as a pre-re- quisite to holding them through the year. The first law was passed early in 1917, which was for the benefit of the boys going to war and then a general cry went up for the relief of all miners. Again in 1918 and 1919 the law became effective and no work was required As result many thousands of claims were located and held without other than title work, and even some of these were relocat- tions that were revamped and made to look like new work so that the To- cator got away with the claim with little or no effort.
 The failure to do assessment work has had a bad effect on the general health of mining throughout the west,

VISITS GATES AJAR
 MINING PROPERTY

The mining editor of the Miner last Monday returned from trip into the Wallapai mountains and during his absence looked over the property of the Gates Ajar Mining company, sit uated in the north end of the noun tains, and to the east of the Deane mine. He found nice camp situated in a deep gorge in the side of the mountain and about a mile above it is theAtunnel and other work on the big vein that the company has been developing the past year. This tun- mel has reached depth of 460 feet and is about 200 feet below the out crop of the vein. And the vein in the outcrop above is eight feet thick, showing splendid naturalization. The tunnel has failed to reach into the ore shoot, especially the shoot show ing on the surface, and it will be found at least 50 feet further in, if the rake of the ore is that usually found in the mines of that region. The surface shoot is important, in that it shows a splendid vein, fairly we'll sprinkled with lead and said to carry values of above 10 ounces sil- yer. This ore, if found below, would give the mine such importance chat a milling plant would be unnecessary to dress it up to merchantable commo- dity, as the surface ores are leached and the ores below the leached zone should be heavy in metal. No better appearing vein has been found in that part of the county and it is our opinion that further exploration will bring it into large production.
 The amount of work done on the property with the small expenditure of money is surprising, a road having been built into the camp, trails built and several hundred feet of tunnel driven, besides the purchase of car and track as we'll as truck, and other tools and machinery. The manage ment is to be congratulated on the showing made, and it is to be hoped that the company will complete the work mapped out.

UNITED EASTERN TOM REED SUIT
 SET FOR OCT. 4

One of the most important mining suits in the history of Mohave coun ty has been set for trial before Judge Bollinger, without jury on the 4th of October. This is the cause of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company again st the United Eastern Mining com pany, and is for the possession of the Big Jim vein.
 The basis for the suit is the con tention that the vein of the Big Jim apeXes on the ground of the Tom Reed, and that a fault is responsible for the failure of the Tom Reed to pursue it's vein to a greater depth, the faulted vein departing into the ground of the United Eastern. The two companies have prepared them selves against each other by the mak- ing of complete mine, showing the fault system from the different points of view of the engineers employed by the respective parties to the action. These models are elaborate pieces of work, it is said, and the court will be given an opportunity to learn the manner in which faults occur, espec- ially in the Oatman district. The engineers have had access to both mines and have canvassed the situa- ton carefully ,and when the matter isplaced before the court it will be rather confusing, as each side has ev- erything possible to substantiate its view of the manner in which the throws have been made by the fault, and the knowledge gained by the ex- ploration of the other fellows ter ritory.
 While this case is an intricate one, the Black Hills of the Dakotas bur dened the courts with some of the most obstruse problems that mine faults have ever presented. While we have not at hand the cases, we have looked over the diagrams pre- sented to the courts more than 30 years ago and felt that the fellows who sat on the bench and decided the cause had some experience. The old Eberhardt mine, at White Pine, New ada, offered one of the first cases where apex and faulting of one vein into the other was an issue. This vein was, like many of those in Mo- have county, large and having ore lenzes between important walls, and the ore bodies were shifted back and forth, finally passing into the junior claim. The companies had a real fight over the right to the faulted vein and some of the greatest geolo- gists and mineralogists of the Unit, ed States and Europe were employed on both sides of the question.
 It is to be hoped that the present suit will terminate agreeably to both companies, although this is not to be presumed.

 WORK ON HIS CLAIMS.

7 E. M. (DaU Binford, who has group of mines in Wallapai noun tain, in the neighborhood of the old Hibernia mines, has secured financial assistance and this week hauled out a load of supplies for the purpose of sinking shaft to depth of 50 feet on one of the properties. This vein is large and shows important miner alization. It is of the same general character as that of the rich ore in the Hope lode.

VISITS MINES IN
 CEDAR COUNTRY

Yesterday William Neagle, George w. Mark and I. M. George paid a visit to the Cedar country, where they looked over the old Cedar mines, now in the hands of MT. George. The trip was rather hard one, the west side road being somewhat badly washed, but they got through in the day and report having enjoyed the run into that country.
 The mines of the old Cedar country are among the best silver properties in the country and it is our opinion that with proper development they will become large producers of the white metal.
