COMPLETE EXAM
 NATION OF CLAIMS FOR CALF. OWNERS

w. w. Wishon, of Searchlight, re- gently completed the examination of the Henry Ford group of claims, nea, Oatman, and submitted the result to his client at Long Beach. In com pany of James F. Collins, R. A. Nick ell, H. Van Avery and Mir. Willis, of Willis & Collins, engineers, of Long Beach, MT. Wishon went over the property and the gentlemen were so highly pleased with the appearance of the property that they at once took it over and expect to incorporate q company under the laws of Nevada to operate it. The property was owned by Harry LeClair, of Oatman, and he retains large interest in the new company, showing his belief in it's potentiality. The property is to be equipped and a shaft sunk to a depth of 500 feet and a large amount of lateral work carried on. The mines will be under the direct supervision of MT. Wishon, who is considered one of the best operating engineers in the country.
 MT. Wishon believes that the range in which the Henry Ford mines are situated to be one of the greatest gold belts in the United States and that when cheaper power can be had and the smaller mines are able to sell their ores to the large milling con- cerns the district will have a gold output second to no other section of the earth.

HERE LOOKING OVER
 THE OLD DAD MINE

A. c. Remsberg and D. R. Williams of Omaha, Nebraska, associates of A. L. Runyan, are in Kingman, having come here to look over the old Dad property, which they have under de- velopment. MT. Runyan has been op- erating the property for some time and has developed a nice showing of ore. This property is situated in the, Maynard mining district, on the east side of the Wallapai mountains, about two miles north of the old Hibernia mine. Recently there was opened in this property nice body of vanadium ore, which also carried good values in gold and silver.
 The gentlemen will remain here a short time looking over the country. Read the Mohave County Miner for

Ore Bodies Opened
 Up in Katherine District
Continued From Page D

east drift on the 40O-foot level will be completed, and immediately there after a winze will be started in the ore and sunk to a depth of 300 feet. The east drift station is 2S feet high by 20 feet wide by 35 feet long. The ore removed in cutting it ranges in gold value from $11 to $97 a ton. Development of four faces of ore will continue at the same time the winze is being sunk, with especial attention devoted to the 22-foot orebody recent ly opened for length of 125 feet on the 2OO-foot level west. The gold values there range from $5.95 to $19.36 a ton. This orebody is now being entered on the 3OO-foot level and will soon be entered on the 400- foot level.
 D. w. Shanks of San Francisco, who planned the development campaign now in force at the Gold Chain mine visited the property few days ago and conferred with Superintendent Nourse on plans for the future. It was decided to crosscut the vein every 50 feet instead of at 100-foot inter- vals, as first determined, and to drive the foot-wall drift on the 100-foot level with all possible speed to con tact with the Tense of high grade ore discovered several months ago near the surface.
 At the Adams property, which car ries the extension of the Gold Chain vein, shaft sinking is we'll advanced and is frequently attended by the dis covery of gold in the free. At the Union Pass property, controlled by A. c. Cushman, we'll known Nevada mining man, and w. H. Hannon, an influential member of the San Fran cisco Stock Exchange, work will be started soon on the we'll mineralized ledge. At the Sunbeam property, controlled by w. J. Loring, mining engineer of international standing, ar engagements are being made to sink a double compartment shaft. It is rum ,ored that MT. Loring is to finance the Sunbeam in England.

 The clever individual portrayal of The Old Prospector won Mir. Stack poole first prize.
 Between 15 and 20 couples from Kingman and about the same number from Needles joined in the merry making.

ARBUCKLE FILMS ARE
 CANCELLED BY LANG

Henry Lang wishes to announce to his patrons that all Arbuckle pictures have been cancelled from his pro- grams. Motion picture houses in oth- CT parts of the country have also can- celled Arbuckle films at a financial loss to themselves. The recent un- savory notoriety of this well-known comedian has caused quite depres- sion in motion picture circles and is greatly to be regretted, as Arbuckle was a great favorite with picture fans

Gabriel's Trump

It happened during the early days of the war, but it's just as good now
 A member of the local Council of Defense had hired an enthusiastic small boy to put up some posters he had received the day before. The youth was instructed to cover every vacant space he could find with 8 poster.
 All went we'll until noon, when an indignant old gentleman stamped in- to the office and demanded to know what in thunderation that kid was trying to pull off anyway, and insist ed that the council member accompany him.
 There in the cemetery, on the side of the mausoleum which contained all the mortal remains of one of the city's fathers, was emblazoned the com mand:
 Wake up! Your country needs you!"

CEDAR VALLEY TO CONNECT WITH SANDY

WI. P. Carr and others In the Cedar Valley mining district, are opening up the old wagon road that connects with the highway to the Sandy, it being the expectation that this road way will be used during the winter months for ingress and egress to and from the mines. As soon as the road is in passable shape it is the inten- tion of MT. Carr and associates to begin active operations on the Cedar
 mines. The reason for the change of roads is the destruction of the road over the mountain by the storms ,of the past month, several miles of the old road being almost obliterated, while the other road has been pass able at all times.

COLORADO RIVER
 MUST BE CONTROLLED
 TO PROTECT IMPERIAL

An engineer has figured it out that the Colorado river will have to be controlled or the Imperial Valley will be imperiled within five years, the gradual rise in the bed of the river below Yuma spreading the floor wat CTS farther and farther afield each year, making it almost impossible to confine it to its banks. The dikes holding the flood waters back have reached the limit of their height and unless the river begins 70 SCOUT It's bed the waters will be creeping over the dike and into the valley. The same condition is true of the country below Boulder Canyon, the bed of the river rising higher and higher each year until floods are menacing farms that were high and dry a few years ago. At Needles the bed of the river is fully ten feet above it's level of ten
 or fifteen years ago and this condition has caused the greater spread of the
 stream during the high water periods. The floods are slowed up by the mar row gorge of Mohave Canyon, through which it has to pass, allowing vast quantities of silt to be dropped from the slower running waters, thus rais- ing the river level to greater heights.
 The only safeguard for all of the farms along the river is the building of the big dam at Boulder Canyon and the impounding of the river waters, allowing the normal flow only to pass through the gates. If this is done there will be no need for dikes, di- version dams bringing the waters on- to the lands. The same condition ob- tains on the Gila, one big dam safe guarding that stream and allowing of the irrigation of many thousands of acres of arid lands that are now use. less. >>
 The free flow of the Colorado river is necessary to maintain the farms lying along its course, and it is pos sible that the stream may be straight ened and confined to canal that will carry sufficient water for all pur- poses. As only small margin of the water of the river will be used for irrigation on its upper reaches, prac- tically the entire flow of the stream will reach the intake for Imperial Valley, unless the highline canal is carried through Arizona from the damsite northwest of Kingman. In that event an enormous amount of water will be carried onto the Arizona deserts, and more than one million acres will be brought under cultiva- tion. Only about 35@o of this water will again find its way into the river, evaporation taking the balance. New ertheless one-third of the irrigation waters will be potential when again made to do duty on the lands farther down and will be the means of bring ing into being many thousands of acres of the richest lands in the world.
 But it will be seen from the report of the Imperial engineers that there is danger ahead for the big farming and industrial community in the heart of the desert of California and that its only salvation lies in the building of a great dam at Boulder Canyon, where the flood waters of the Colo rado river may be impounded for ir- rigation and power.
