WILL FURTHER DEVELOP
 BIG FOUR METALS PROPERTY

. The Big Four Metals people are getting matters shaped up for inten- sive work on their property in the Wallapai mountain, about 20 miles east of Kingman. This week J. E. Castle, of Ridge FarmI Illinois, visit ed the property and was so well pleas ed with the showing of ore that con tracts were let to R. O. Pierson tc sink the shaft to depth of 100 feet and do some lateral work at that depth. The shaft is now down 42 feet and is in good ore, the vein being five feet wide and the rich silver streak averaging above eight inches. The ore also carries a good percentage of vanadium. Many places have beer opened on the vein that show values in the rare mineral, and an estimate gives the property a wonderful value for that mineral alone. Samples of the ore in the possession of this office show silver chlorides and handsome crystals of vanadium.
 The mine is we'll situated on the northeast slope of the Wallapais a good road leading to it from the main highway. MT. Pierson, who |discov- cred the property, believes It to be one of->the good things of that part of the Maynard district and he and associates are to start an intensive development campaign.

GOLD BUTTE SHAFT
 ENTERS SULPH|DE ZONE

The shaft of the Gold Button mine has reached a depth of 73 feet and is now entering the sulphide zone. The sulphide in other parts of the mine was the richest ore in the prop erty and it is expected that the same condition will be found when the com plete change is entered.
 Tony Hill, who has charge of the property and is part owner Tn the option, was at the mine this week and is muclt pleased with the showing. For hundreds of feet the vein has been opened and good ore found in all the openings.

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
John Willis Griffiths RevoIutionizad the Science of Merchant Shipbuilding
 and Naval Architecturs.

John Willis Grfffiths was the men who revolutionized the science of mer- chant shipbuilding and naval archi- tecture- In 1S41 he appeared before the American, institute in New York and proposed a model for new ship. He succeeded in interesting William Aspinwall, one of New York's China trade princes, who in 1s42 signed a contract to build a ship of 750 tons according to Griffiths' designing.
 The ship was completed in January, 1S45, and named the Rainbow. .s The Rainbow sailed for China in Febru- ary, and was back home again in Sep tember to reward her owners with 200 per cent over what she had cost.
 John Willis Grifiths was born in New York in 1909, and died there in 1882. He was the inventor of the trap style of hull construction; the builder of the United States steamship Princeton, the first twin screw ocean, going vessel, and was the inventor of the process of bending ship tim Der in a vacuum, In 1851 he pub lished privately a treatise on naval architecture which attracted compara- lively little attention in this country, but its merits were recognized in Eng land, and he became a lecturer in Ed inburgh university on naval architec- ture.

GOV. TOM CAMPBELL
 WILL VISIT COUNTY

Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, accom- panied by state engineer Thomas Maddock and some of his assistant engineers, are expected in Kingman tomorrow for a trip into the north part of the county, where they will make an examnation of road and other pro jects. Gov. Campbell is president of the League of the Southwest and is greatly interested in the big dam pro- ject in Boulder Canyon. It is prob able that he will visit the site of this dam so that he will be personally ad- vised of fits wonderful potentialities.
 Gov, Campbell is the first gover- nor to make trip through Mohave county and we feel that our people should give him a hearty welcome.

REFUSES FEDERAL AID

People who have watched the meth ods employed by Maricopa county to get state and federal aid for their roads will be pleased to note that State Engineer Maddock has refused the request of that county for federal aid on what is known as the Apache Trail. This road runs by way of Roosevelt and over the mountains to Springerville and St. Johns. MT. Mad dock claims that the road is a side issue and cannot command state aid or federal aid. In the position he has taken he is quite right. It would be just as absurd as asking the state and federal government to build a road to Stockton Hill or to any other camp within the county. The state is build ing two great highways across coun- try and should not be deflected into building network, of roadways that would consume the funds that have been set spart for the other roads.

OLD KEYSTONE MINE
 IS BEING UNWATERED

T. H. Fitzgerald, of Los Angeles, one of the principal owners in the Keystone mine, has been here several days, accompanied by a mining engi- neer, for the purpose of having the mine pumped out and an examination made of the property. The Keystone is situated at Mineral Park and is one of the first discoveries in that basin For many years it was heavy pro- ducer of quicksilver ore, much of which was shipped to Swansea, Wales, for treatment, there being no shelter ies on the coast at that time. Many attempts were made to mill and treat the ores, but owing to its many basic metals these attempts were not overly successful. Under present conditions the ore can be treated successfully by Notation and as there are many thou sands of tons assessable we feel sure that under proper management the mine would pay well. The equipment of the property is very good, a large plant having been erected that may be converted into a successful Notation mill, the whole plant of ma chinery being driven by electric pow CT, supplied from the big power plant at Kingman.

gro MIR. VIM. ESHOM"

The following poem was written il 1915 by Minnie J. Hardy gro MT William Eshom" at a time Mrs Hardy was visiting at the Eshon ranch. Mrs. Hardy, visiting in King man, this, the week of MT. Eshom'. death, recalled having written tn, poem five years ago. .. Cienega Ranch, Ariz. Since you've been riding on the range For more than twenty year.; Perhaps you will not think it strange If l size up your gear,
 And actions too, and western ways; And generous open purse,
 And send you just a word of praise, Set down in simple verse.
 You'er rough as the mountain cactus And comical at that,
 You have no more style to you Than a weller" old ranch cat, But just beneath the outer case, ., :. Shut in from mortal sight There beats heart, and camps a soul That's pretty darned near right. You lead square and honest life, Your mind from care is free. You love your neighbor-and his wife, And that of course suits me. You smile-Bill Eshom at the world And it smiles back at you. And when God sees happy man,. l think that He smiles too. So ride your bucking, sway-back horse Around the old corral, And "holler" till your throat is hoarse With your wild, and Wooley yell, Until the rugged hills around Take up your paean song, And echo back the cheerful sound, To help poor souls along. And if fate-grant but half a chance, Be sure I'll not be tardy, In coming back to Eshom's ranch, Yours always
 M. J. Hardy. P. s. ... ..- And on the final Round -Up-Day (The world may never miss him) But Gabriel will surely say, Dear Lord receive Bill Eshom.)
 This poem was written for MT. Eshom July 2Oth, 1915.

LONG A PLACE OF WORSHIP
Before the Christian Era Romans Hon. ored Their Gods on the Noun.
 tain of Monserrat.

MOnserrat, the famous shrine in the Spanish province of Barcelona, illus, trates the effect which high mountains have on men. When you climb to the top of high mountain you feel wor. shfpful and at peace with the universe
 Monserrat is an outlying spur of the Pyrennees which stands all alone, splendidly dominating a rich plain. It Is one of the most ancient and famous of Catholic shrines. According to legend, many centuries ago an image of the Virgin was found at the top of the mountain, and it was impossible to move the image Thus it was shown to men that they should build shrine on Monserrat.
 In medieval times it was shrine of unexcelled beauty and splendor. An emperor came here to kneel and to cover the great Byzantine church with gold. A queen walked up the noun tain barefoot. The great and the learned of all the Christian world gathered at Monserrat. Its greatness came to an end in the nineteenth cen. tury when the French sacked the shrfne and carried away the orna. ments.
 Now the church has been rebuilt and offers free lodging to the pilgrims who come there still, but the fame and splendor of the place have shrunk. Yet Monserrat will always be a shrine. Before Christ the Romans had tenn. pie of Venus there and before that more than likely savages worshiped their gods on the mountain top.
 Worship vertically grows ir

NeCRACkEN ORE IS
 SHOWING UP WELL

Supt. Riley, who has been at the c. o. D. mine the past week making tests on McCracken ores, was in King man yesterday on his way home. He reports that good results were had in the tests m ade, the operations being under the direction of W. w. Widow son, consulting engineer qf the com pany.
 The shaft on the McCracken prop erty has reached a depth of 620 feet, 220 feet below the old level, but so much water has been encountered that nothing further may be done until pumping machinery has been install ed. The company, of which Frank A.. Garbutt is the president, has been sinking the big shaft for the purpose of getting water for mill and other purposes and it now looks as though their search has been rewarded. Enough water is now developed to take care of the mine output and more will surely be encountered when sink ing is resumed. The new machinery is expected to be on hand soon and the work of sinking to a new level will soon be under way.
 The company is we'll financed and with an immense tonnage of ore in the stopes and a well designed mill in operation big results may be ex- pected. The mines are among the largest /silver-lead properties in the United States and should be dividend payers for years to come.

GENTLEMEN VISIT KINGMAN.
 A large number of stockmen are in Kingman this week attending to busi- ness affairs. Shipments of cattle to Los Angeles have given local cattle men enough money to tide them over the depression in the cattle market and it is probable that only a few more sales will be made this year.
