$500 and $500 each. All the milk

their Holstein herds so the milk will

Probably Oldest Industry.

The impending sale Of Brandon
Park, an estat. of 1000 acres on the
Norfolk-Suffolk (Eng.) borders. recalls
what is probably the oldest and most
enduring industry in the wOrld-flint
working.
At Brandon the first flint working
industry has been carried on for sew
eral thousand yeaHs. A small colony
of workers is still making gun fiints
there and exporting them to savage
tribes in Northern and Central Africa.
1t is said that these workmen are
lineal descendants Of the flint workers
of the neolithic age.

Dear Aunt Madge and all the NJ. 3.
Family:
/ think it would be good plan for
all the NJ. b. crowd to write how they
passed Christmas day. Mine was not
very interesting, only quiet day at
home, with a daughter from South
Deer Isle, a son who lives near by a
grandson who has been with me ten
years, and a hired man, our only COM
pany for dinner, which was good and
plentiful. While partaking of it, my
mind went out to the starving millions.
Had several callers in the afternoon.
AS night closed in cold and dark, there
came to our door wanderer home
less and no Christmas dinner. We
gave him food and shelter for the night
and a hearty breakfast. and then bade
him go. l never turn away our native
people who need food or shelter. We
are none the poorer for ministering to
the unfortunate and we are also
taught "Inasmuch"- - 49,
/ "A. day or two before Christmas the
r. F. d. brought me four boxes from
loved ones that could not be present
with us. We opened them all but one.
that was to be opened Christmas day.
But the day before l hankered to know
it's contents, so l cut the strings and
peeked in. There were oranges by the
dozen, grapes, raisins, dates, nuts and
candies and lots of other nice things,
and a delicious fruit cake. One would
know there was drop on sugar by
the heavy frosting.
Now come the letters and cards.

vile with lovely presently, Portland
Bangor, Camden, one from "Vashti'
whose John is my nephew. and one
from Aunt Madge," with a picture of
the last reunion, and she told me who
they were. l wish it had been on a
larger scale. so if l ever meet any of
them on my travels l should recognize
them. Thank you, dear aunt
Christmas has gone and now the
New Year. We know not what it will
bring us, but hope it will be health
and prosperity to all is the sincere
wish of Sadie.
Thank you so much for this good
letter l hope the readers Of The
American saw the article two weeks
ago telling us the interesting things
about Sadie at the time of her
eighty-ninth birthday, Jan. 81.

SCHOOL ELECTION
 SATURDAY OCT. 29

Election of trustee for School Dis trict No. and for trustee for the high school board will be held Octo- Der 29. The election will be held at the grammar school in Kingman for both offices and in other parts of the county as well for the member of the high school board.
 In the case of the vacancy for School District No. 4, it was necessary for electors to file a petition with the clerk of the school trustees. But one petition was filed,-that of J. N. Brewer. Allen E. Ware, who is con- pleting his ninth year on the board, will retire.
 H. L. Homer, the retiring member of the high school board, will be a candidate for reelection, and inas- much as it is not necessary for elect ors on the high school board to He petitions, other candidates who wish to. run may signify their intentions any time before the election on the 29th.
 The management of the schools of Kingman and of Mohave county is one of the important issues before us and people should vote with the same de. gree of interest that they do for can didates for other offices in the state and county.
 In the 1921 school laws of Arizona paragraph 272Sh calls for something new in school elections. This para graph will affect only the grammar school districts of Kngn,an and Oat- man. It reads as follows: In all school districts having an av' craze daily attendance of eighty (S0) children of school age, petitions shal be filed with the clerk of the schoo trustees, or in union high school dis tricts with the clerk of the board o1 education, containing the names o1 the qualified electors of the district tc the number of ten per cent of the mum Der of electors as shown by the pol list of the last election of school trus' tees. Such petition shall be filed al least ten days prior to the election The clerk of the board of trustees ol I board of education shall cause to be prepared ballots, and cause the names of all persons whose petitions have been filed, to appear thereon.

GOLD SAMPLES FROM
 SURFACE OF PROF.
 ERTYIN WALLAPA|S

Ed. Lafierre is the owner of a group of claims in the Wallapai mountains, about 20 miles east of Kingman, that is showing up well. Work is being prosecuted on the mines and this week samples were taken that gave values of $19.S4, $7.44 and $7.23 in gold. These veins are quite large and Mr. Laferre and associates are quite en- thusiastic over the showing that de- opment has brought to view. The property is we'll situated, being in the big mineral belt below the old Amer ican Flag mine and in the heart of Maynard district. Timber abounds on the high mountains above the mines and the district is we'll watered
 Among the old mines of that section are the American Flag, Democrat, An telope, Mississippi, Mariposa and oth- CTS, that in the days gone by pro- duced very rich gold and silver ores

 foundations for the machinery are now being laid, and will be finished and hardened by the time it arrives. All of this work is preliminary to the erection of a 300-ton mill and the reduction of the $2,143,000 worth of ore already blocked out in the mine workings.
 The mineral resources of the Kath- crime district and of Mohave county in general will be called to the atten- ton of the delegates to the Chicago convention of the American Mining Congress this week by R. s. Billings of Kingman. Mir. Billings is mining engineer of well established standing and is acquainted with many of the members of his profession who are in attendance at the meeting. Charles Sutro of San Francisco, managing di- rector of the Katherine mine, is also in attendance at the sessions, as is likewise w. J. Loring, president of the American Mining Congress, and part owner of the Sunbeam property at Katherine. The known and pros pective ore-yielding possibilities of the Katherine district will therefore be capably presented to the delegates.

COUNTY OFFICIALS
 VISIT NORTH STRIP

Last Tuesday night Del Sherer, chairman of the Board of Supervis- ors; James B. Uncapher, w. L. Kay ser and Anson H. Smith, of the Mo have County Highway Commission, and Sheriff w. P. Mahoney returned from the north part of the state, where they spent the past two weeks looking into road affairs. During the trip they visited nearly all the stttle- ments in the "Strip" and were much taken with the importance of that whole territory.
 County Engineer R. H. Hayward and his assistant, Mir. Newton, also made the trip and were left there to make surveys.
 MT. Hayward and assistant will To- cate a bridge site on Short Creek, which will bring route through that section from Fredonia and Kaibab to Hurricane and St. George, and will cut out the three or four miles of heavy sand. The approaches to the bridge will be surfaced and the roads to the Utah state line made as good as possible. Other important work is remodeling of the bad piece of road over Mokiac Hill to Wolfe Hole and the territory to the south of that place. The lumber mills of Mount Trumbull use this road to ship theil product into the southern part of Utah and wood for use in the settlements is also taken over this route.
 One or two bad pieces of road, es- pecially heavy grades, are to be cut from the Arrowhead Trail at Little field, and the !"dugways" are to be widened so that two machines may pass at any point. The new work is to be surveyed and plated between the Utah and Nevada state lines While Utah has been working it's roac west of St. George, Nevada has done little to make safe the bad grades ant sharp turns on its part of the roac south from Mesquite. Clark county Nevada, supervisors have given assur' ance to the Mohave County Highway Commission that if they would i'm prove the bad stretch of territory north of Mesquite it would be met b! an equally good road.
 The people of the north certainly are in need of road improvement, but it would take many thousands of dol lars to even bring the roads into pas sable shape.

LEGION PROGRAM FOR
 ARM|ST|CE DAY

The local Post of the American Le- zion has completed its plans and set committees to work on what is said to be a celebration that will equal the one held on November II, 1918.
 The boys will start the day off in regular Army fashion; the bugler will sound first call over the town at 6 a. m- the band will play a march at Reveille 6:30 a. m. and at 8 a. m. the street Carnival will be thrown wide open, and the big time will start. Baseball, basketball, races singing, speaking, picture show and dancing have been arranged for in addition to the carnival, so there will be some amusement for all regardless of what their tastes may be. A pro- gram giving the time and place of all events will be published soon.
 This celebration is being extensive ly advertised, and it is confidently ex- pected that many visitors from Needles, Oatman, Chloride and all outlaying towns will come to King man for the day.
 This undertaking is worthy of the support of all red blooded Americans and it is sincerely hoped that it will receive that support. Boost for the occasion and help in any way that you can. Legion and Auxiliary members are giving their time to liven up the
