LIVESTOCK AND RANGES
 APPROXIMATELY MEXICO

Telegraph and mail advices receiv- ed by the office of the Weather Bur eau in Phoenix, indicate still further general improvement in ranges over the state with almost daily showers in the summer grazing areas. At the same time the need for more rain is felt, as most of the falls have been too light to soak deeply into the ground, and the torrential nature of such heavy rains as have fallen has prevented their doing great good. The lack of rain seems most marked in Cochise county, where the average for July 1920 is probably not over one tenth that of July 1919, but the con- dition is a general one reported over a greater portion of the range sec tions of the state. In the Pinto and Pinedale sections however there is no complaint, reports indicating an abundance of moisture, tanks and water holes filled and feed good. In spite of some adverse elements cattle are doing we'll in all sections, reports indicating a condition ranging from "fair" to "prime."

NEALON OUT FOR JUSTICE
 OF THE SUPREME BENCH

Thomas w. Nealon, of Phoenix, has announced his candidacy for the high office of Justice of the Supreme Court of the State. He was in Kingman yesterday looking over the political situation and renewing old acquaint- chances. Judge Nealon is a native of Georgia, 50 years of age, and grew up in an atmosphere of democracy. He has been resident of the State for 15 years and is widely known throughout the southern part, where he has practiced his profession of the law. He is making his first attempt to break into politics and his friends predict success for him at the prinl- aries. We can recommend him to Che voters of Mohave county as a con- scientious gentleman, and one who will be a credit to the State in any position to which he may be called His years of law practice eminently qualify him for the position to which he aspires.

Sheep-RaIsing Old Industry,

Sheep raising is perhaps the oldest of all industries, for it was practiced even before agriculture. Wool is a product of cultivation or domestica- ton, for there are no wild animals which closely resemble the wool-bear. ing sheep, Floyd w. Parsons, in the Saturday Evening Post, says that with the discovery that cloth could be made from wool came an effort to improve the fleece by selection and breeding. The early Romans were most success ful in this pursuit, and their. endeav- ors along this hne resulted in develop ing fleece of great fineness. After the conquest of the Iberian peninsula, Roman sheep were introduced into Spain, where they so greatly improved the native fiOcks that even during Roman supremacy Spanish wool led the worlds markets, prestige held for many centuries.

UNITED AMERICAN
 SHAFT REACHES 600

The shaft of the United American has reached below the 600 level and will be continued to the 670, where it will have reached the level of the drift on the Aztec vein of the Tom Reed from the 400 level. The connection of these drifts will give the two min es plenty of air, as we'll as demon strating the vein system in the two properties. The Tom Reed has the vein we'll developed but expect that further exploration to the east may bring in new ore bearing zone in the Aztec and possibly on the other veins of the group, which can be reached by crosscut from a point close to the east end line of the property.
 The American shaft is expected to reach the required depth about the 25th of this month, when crosscut- ting and drifting will be undertaken.

How a Whale Breathes.

An eminent naturalist says concern. ang the breathing apparatus of the whale: "The windpipe does not com municate with the mouth; hole is, as 1t were. bored right through the back of the head. Engineers would do well to copy the action of the valve of the whales blow hole; more perfect piece of structure 1t is impos- sible to imagine. Day and night, asleep or awake, the whale works its breathing apparatus in such manner that not drop of water ever gets down into the lungs. Again, the whale must of necessity, stay much longer period under water than seals; this alone might possibly drown 1t. inasmuch as the lungs cannot have access to fresh air. We find that this qiniculty has been anticipated and ob- Flated by a peculiar reservoir in the venous system, which reservoir is sit- mated at the back of the lungs."-Los Angeles Times.

"CANON BALL" BAKER
 BREAKS COLD RECORD
(Continued from Page 1)

Continued from Page 1) natioanl sporting event, and the feat he is attempting has been pronounced the most grueling test of stamina and endurance for man, motor and equip ment that could be devised. In his efforts to establish a new record Baker relies upon a stock model Tenn plar car, equipped with Firestone cord tires, the same combination which enabled him to make the suc- cessful New York to Chicago dash.
 The famous driver is stopping only for gasoline and food, and sleeping only in the event his motor or equip ment needs repair.
 The New York to Chicago trial was made without mishap, the driver suc- cessfully combating handicaps of 250 miles of rain and 200 miles of fog which he encountered in the Pennsyi- vania mountains.
 "Cannonball," whose real name is Erwin George Baker, earned the "Cannonball appelation while he was gaining fame as the most daring motorcycle speed tourist in the coun- try, role which he abandoned to gain new laurals as an automobile driver. He has been racing seventeen years.
 Baker is accompanied by his mech anician, who rides with him on all his tours, but Baker alone will sit at the wheel of the racing car as it streaks it's way across the continent.
 While here Baker changed steer ing gear which had broken on the way. He arrived in Los Angeles early Wednesday morning, beating his old record.

Radioactive Lead.

At least two kinds of lead exist, writes Prof. Theodore w. Richards in Science. One, the ordinary metal dis seminated throughout the world; an other, form of lead apparently pro- duced by the decomposition of uran- ium, radium being one of the inter- mediate products. If we leave out of consideration the probable inessential difference in radio activity, the two kinds are very closely if not exactly alike in every respect, excepting atomic weight, density and immediate ly related properties involving weight, such as solubility. Thorium lead ap- pears to be third variety, with sim liar relations. Shall we call these sub- stances different elements, or the same?

OFFERS TO PAYiIN PLATINUM

That the Bolshivik government will pay for supplies with platinum is the statement put forth through the press, but the fact remains that fthe UraT mountains contain only limited amounts of the rare white metal and there cannot be enough produced in years of mining to pay tithe of the demands for supplies that the soviet government needs. All these stories of the riches of the various Balkan states and the mountains of Russia are mere bosh, only a small produc- tion of metals being possible in any of them. Siberia may have some gold, sulphur, salt and iron, but in the main it is far from transporta- tion and costly to mine and market.

BREAKS
 IN MINING CAME

That the freaks of fortune have not gone awry is evidenced every day by reports from the various fields where mining has it's habitat. Today it is in Arizona and tomorrow it may be in Alaska, but it comes. Mining from the days of the Pharoahs down to the present time has had its world in terest and millions of people have hunted for the elusive fortune that mines have given forth in nearly all lands. Cherry Creek, Nevada, is the latest to Haunt a gold strike in the face of the public and that it is real is vouched for by many mining men who have looked in upon the camp. Its discovery was a mere accident, as are most of the good mines of the world. A wooden legged man travel ing over a roundabout trail conclud- ed to make a cutoff and save time and in doing so found the outcrop of a vein that has been developed into a real mine. The old Commonwealth at Pearce, was found by cowboy who was attracted by the peculiar forma- tion of break in an outcrop, and this mine has produced it's millions. It sometimes pays to be curious, but this fellow did not allow his curiosity to blind him to the fact that a few thousand dollars in the hand is better than millions undeveloped, so he sold it to Boise Penrose and his financial agents, and the millions that came from it gave Penrose enough power to name presidential candidates.
 Cripple Creek, which was believed to have responded to the last call, is coming back, having recently made an excellent strike on the deep level of the Old Independence. The strike is giving other mine owners courage to proceed with deep development and we have no doubt that wonderful re- suits would ensue.
 Mohave county has many of these propositions and the only thing that is needed is the necessary financial backing and proper direction. Today we have many old silver mines that have been worked to the water level and the greater number of them are only few hundred feet in depth and and have produced from $500,000 to million.

SUPERSTITIONS OF THE PAST
Peculiar Beliefs That Not So Very Many Years Ago Had Almost Uni
 versaI Credence.

A reader furnishes us with . list of old superstitions which were part of our folk lore in this part of the country before we had to have folk lore societies to preserve this sort of thing:
 A rooster growing at the front door meant visitor coming.
 A twig catching young lady's dress meant beau.
 An itching ear meant that some one was talking about you.
 To turn back after starting meant bad luck.
 Opening an umbrella in the house meant bad luck to the house.
 A measuring worm on a woman's frock meant new dress.
 An itching left hand meant that you would marry soon.
 An itching right hand meant that you would shake hands with a strang. CT.
 Seeing the new moon over the Jeff shoulder meant one would soon get money.
 Probably most of us are supersti tious about the number IS, just as peo- pie were a long time ago. Our own superstitions will amuse subsequent generation, as those recalled by our reader amuse us. Only a subsequent generation can safely laugh at super. stitions. Socrates was put to death for laughing at some of the superstitions of the Greeks. Let us, then, laugh al these and take the superstitions of our own time as seriously as we please St. Louis Post Dispatch.
