DIAMOND DRILL TO BE PUT TO WORK ON
 UNITED EASTERN

This week there was taken to the United Eastern mines, at Oatman, q big diamond drilling outfit, which is to be put towork sinking in the ore body at the 800 level. The under standing is that the drill will be driv- en to the 1400 level in the ore and other developments carried on by this method. The vein is very large, so that there will be no reason why the ore shoot may not be developed in this manner. In the years of long ago the great Comstock vein was de- veloped largely through diamond drilling operations, the ore bodies as well as the water bodies being located in this manner. While the Comstock vein had width of 300 feet between walls the ore bodies had to be sought out where they appeared in lenzes in the big mass. The United Eastern vein is over 40 feet wide and while the drill may miss the rich shoots the big bodies of mill ore should readily be picked up. Anyway the diamond drill should be found useful in point ing the way to successful mining op- erations in that big property.

Old Time Mining Town
 Will Soon Be Memory

If the intention of the H. L. Crock CT Company, San Francisco corpora ton, can be carried out, the historic mining camp of Volcano, will, in a few years, be but memory, for the company proposes to hydraulic every foot of ground there which it can ob- tain.
 The company already owns a large acreage and has been quietly buying up property in and about town. It has large force at work on restrain ing dam and Hume building, prepar- atory to actual mining operations. Beneath the town rich bodies of vir- gin gravel are believed to lie buried, never touched by the pioneers. Vol cano came into being in 1S49 and in 1855 had 1900 voters. Now only a few families there.

THE BLACKBERRY EXTENSION PROPERTY
 TO BECOME ACTIVE

A. L. Johns, who is at the head of the Blackberry Extension Mining Company, was a kingman visitor this week, coming here to look after inn portant mining business. MT. Johns reports that he has secured sufficient financial backing to carry through a fairly good development campaign and will soon have work under way. on one of the main veins of the group. This work is to be initiated sometime next week and it is expected that it will result in the development of the old ore body that was brought to light some years ago by leasers. The vein is large and well defined, being a con- tinuance of the old Blackberry lode. It runs the full length of this proper ty and into the other locations far ther north.
 Mr. Johns has made thorough ex- animation of the property and believ- es that he has winner.

SAYS GROSS PROPERTY
 IS SHOWING UP WELL

A. Vincent, who has been doing the annual assessment work on min ing property belonging to himself ari John Gross, in what is known as Gross Wash, near Mineral Park, is in King man. He reports that the work has disclosed good ore bodies in the prop critics, copper being found in every one of them.
 The properties were drilled to some extent few years ago and copper values were found to a depth of the holes. At the water level the copper appears in light sheets of native and many beautiful specimens have been recovered. The main values are con- tained in bornite, there also being some gold and silver values in all the ores. The locality is we'll mineraliz- ed, the lower part of Mineral Park basin being highly impregnated with copper, flow of iron probably caus- ing the copper waters to be thrown down in native form.

POWERS OF CORPORATION
 COMMISSION IS ISSUE

One of the important issues relat- ing to the powers of the corporation commission of the state will be threshed out in the courts when the case of the Jerome Union Stage line comes up in the superior court of Yav- apai county on the 18th of this month At the hearing a month ago Judge Bollinger, sitting for Judge Sweeney, issued temporary injunction against the corporation commission and the stage company seeks to make that in- junction perpetual. The basis for the injunction is the constitutional inhib- ition against monopolies and it is probable that the court will cover this phase of the case clearly in handing down its opinion upon submission of the case.

 MING co. T0CR0SSCU7

E. A. Hammerbeck is looking after the operations of the operations of the Kingman Silver-Gold mining com pany in the absence of E. M. Rogers. Mir. Hammerbeck reports that the shaft now has reached depth of 253 feet and expects to go to the 300. On the 200 level the ore body showed exceptionally rich mill ore. A cross cut is to be driven into the vein at the present depth, the shaft being but about 20 feet from the vein, Af- ter cutting the vein the shaft will be continued to the 300 or deeper. The vein is said to be; quite large at the 200 and the management is sanguine of developing a good paying property.
 The property of the Kingman Sil- yer Gold Mining company is situated about 20 miles north of Kingman in what is known as Hardy Butte.

NCCRACKEN SHAFT
 REACHES 600 FEET

The shaft on the McCracken, now being operated by the Garbutt inteI- ests, has reached depth of 600 feet and has encountered heavy flow of water that makes the installation of large pumping machinery necessary. As water has been of great impor- tance in the operation of the Me Clacken mine this water body will prove of great value. A milling plant may now be installed that will dress the ores to high shipping values and enable the company to amalga- mate the dry silver ore for their sil- yer content. Owing to the fact that no deep mining had ever been at tempted at the McCracken mine the old timers erected mill at Signal ant, there worked the ore for their silver
 content alone, although there were large lenzes in the property that car ried heavy lead. Later an attempt was made to handle the lead ores, but the haulage from the mill at Signal was too heavy to allow a margin of profit and the scheme was abandoned. With the discovery of sufficient water for all purposes at the mine all the ores may be mined and milled on the ground.
 The McCracken mine is one of the largest and best ore bodies in the country. It is ideally the same as the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines at Wardner, Idaho, lacking the zinc con tent. As soon as the drifts are car ried out under the old ore bodies and raises made the property will be on a production footing. No mine in the county will be able to surpass this property in production of ores, and it will not be long before a railroad in to the camp will be necessary. The men in charge of operations are cap able and energetic and the investing public have confidence in their abili ty to bring in winner.

MODERN MAN OF BUSINESS
Shock the Very Soul of His Grandfather.

A business man tells, in Peoples stated intervals.
 T die every little while, he says. "I pretend that the end has come and l ask myself what I am doing that some one else could not do just as well-Or better. Since I contracted the habit of killing myself off, have dropped one kind of work after an- other. Keeping in mind that I may drop off any minute, 1 have under studies ready not only for myself but for the other important men. We are all unnecessary. The result is our business never was better. We are all principals. Every one of our men carries marshal's baton in his hav- ersack. The men under me seem to keep on saying every little while, Here, you, get out of the way And, in sself-pr9tection, l scramble up te a higher place and all the rest of the men move forward at the same time
 Not only do I share authority, but l share profits. The r idea of busi- ness went out of our place years ago. Now 1t is always We It hurts me every time I hear one of our men say I will do this or that when speaking with customer. He is supposed to say We will do that The We spir. it is what we have cultivated because we have realized that r Is a pretty small individual.
 ''So, my advice to my fellow busi- ness man is to commit suicide every little while. If they do the job hon. estly and in a workmanllke manner, they will find themselves constructing the ladder that will land them in heaven, not after they are in the grave, but right here on this good old earth of ours."

BIRDS HAVE VARIOUS NAMES
Get coonomens From Habits or Piu.
 mage Though Not lnfrequently From Song or Call.

Birds are. given various names in various parts of the country; some get these names from their habits, others from their plumage, while the song, or call, in other cases Is respon- sible for the nickname of the bird, ac- cording to London Answers.
 The cuckoo has two mates. The meadow pippit is known as the cue koo's mate in some parts of the coun- try, because of its habit of always,ac- companying the cuckoo from place to place throughout its stay in this coun- try. The wryneck gets the same name TOT a different reason. It arrives in the country about the same time, or a Few days earlier than the cuckoo, and thererore the name has been given 1t.
 Little "Bread-and-no-ch cheese" is per maps rather mOuthful but the name IS gwen to the yellow bunting on ac- count of the fact that its simple song resembles these words more than any thing else in the world
 faffte' Is the name given to that laughing bird of the woods, the green woodpecker. also known by the less cheerful cognOmen of rain bird. be- cause whenever 1t laughs the glass goes back and the rain comes down. In other words, the laugh of the green woodpecker, like the "hee-haw" of the donkey, is considered by many to be sure sign of wet weather.
 The whitethrOat has habit of creeping along the lower parts of the hedges, where the nettles grow, and therefore 1t has acquired for itself the name of "nettle creeper."

GETTING READY FOR
 DEVELOPMENT PAY-
 ROLL,RANk|N TUNNEL

Gel. J. C. Rankin, who has been in the east the past several months, ar rived from Pittsburgh Wednesday last. He has been getting matters arranged for the operations on the Rankin tunnel at Chloride, as we'll as the developments mapped out for the Payroll mine. This property is to have the shaft retimbered to the 200 level, from which point to the 400 it is understood the timbering is in good shape. The shaft is to be con- tinued to the 600 level and crosscuts driven into the other veins of the group. The upper levels are to be further exploited and the mine put in condition for production as soon as possible.
 The resumption of work on these properties means much for Chloride and that part of the county, as the veins under consideration are among the best and largest in the district. The driving of the tunnel would bring into being a large number of large shippers of ore and would give em- ployment to large number of men. The men back of the enterprises are among the most substantial in Pen nsylvania and are ready to start op- erations no large scale.

HEAVY DEVELOPMENT WORK ON TOM REED
 REDUCES DIVIDEND

While the Tom Reed mine is still turning out bullion at the same rate as in the past year the board of di- rectors have seen fit to reduce the di- vidend to one cent per month, pay able quarterly. The fact is that the Tom Reed is doing large amount of prospecting and it takes money to do dead work under present working con ditions. And on the other hand it is just as we'll to do the dead work now, as it will keep down the divi- dend rate and reduce payment of div idend profits to the federal govern ment. The Tom Reed is also building up a good sized treasury to meet emergencies and with which to take care of research work. The shares on the Los Angeles stock exchange are bid at S1.0S, which shows an up- ward trend and indicates that when business settles back after the hot weather and vacation days are over Oatman stocks will be bid up far above the present price. The Tom Reed has a valuable estate and the shares ought to go to at least S4 when its comeback from the present low takes place.
 The United Eastern is also slowly recovering the big losses of the last six months, the shares being bid up to $2.75. This stock is paying big dividends and is worth far more than the market.
 United American at $.321a bid and $40 asked is holding its own and as soon as tha vein is cut on the 665 level we may look to a much higher price.
 Other shares among the Oatmans are looking for better things within the next few months, especially after the election is over and money mat ters have settled down to clearer understanding of conditions. The government is trying to get down to some stable method of standarizing Liberties and it is possible that the big financiers of the government will be able shortly to put over a deal whereby every bond of the govern ment, no matter what interest it may draw will have a value above par. An effort to purchase $1O,0OO,OOO 900 of allied bonds and back up the Lib critics with them has been carefully discussed As the foreign bonds will draw better interest than Liberties it is possible that something of the kind might act as stimulant to the buyers of federal bonds and cause them to hold their investments off the market. Just what this momen- tuous action will bring about, if car ried through, is rather problematical. But it is evident Ahat the federal gov ernment is engaged in devising ways and means to boulster up bond is- sues and if done will have wonder ful effect on other investments, as it will loosen money in the markets and give ordinary share investments a chance.

Foster saw as many as 100 head of deer in a bunch and they are quite tame. Many of them have had their ears trimmed or have been branded by the cowboys running cat tie up there. Incidentally one reason for their being tame is the fact that the rangers up there are strictly on the job.

Making a Citizen.

You make the citizen by giving him intelligence. He must learn to see things as they are. He must also learn to see the possibilities and rise in power to put them to the test. There Is no place for the coward in the march Of progress. We need men, brave men, who dare while others fiy." And this means they must have brains and brawn with which to fight life's battles and hold their own in the world. And to intelligence we must add constancy. It avails little to be brilliant if you haven't the power to stick to your job until you make success of 1t. Per sistence will help you win, when you put your head to work. These are the first things in the making of citizens The home and the school must work together to produce it.-Grit.
