THE MISSION OF THE 1.-THE.

That the 1.-THE has been used advan-

And that fact brings wildly to mind

We believe the 1.-THE to be a divine

Christian peoples for mans restora
alton to divine favor. When In emer
gencies and conditions other agencies
will fail this one will succeed. And
there are good reasons for Its success
chiefly Of course because 1t Is Of di
vine appointment. 1t strikes at the
root Of covetousness and brings the
conscientious Christian In touch with
great enlightening and Christianidng
forces. II Yields a potency that arm.
les Of evil cannot Withstand. It Is a

Grafton and stands a constant rebuke
to hypocrisy. And 50 because 1t is
Of divine appointment It accompanies
these things and has before 1t a mis-

NAYFLOWFR HITS
 VEIN ON 60FT. LEVEL

Leacers at work on the Mayflower mine, of the Gold Reed holdings at Oatman, are getting into a fine body of ore on the 60-foot level of that property, the ore carrying values be- tween $60 and $100 to the ton. The shaft was sunk on this property to a lepth of 600 feet some years ago, but failure to follow the rich ore encount- cred caused the shutdown of the mine by the consulting engineer, the exam ination failing to disclose what miners termed the true condition of the property. Finally the mine was se- cured under lease and the rich ore is now being followed with great suc- cess. When this ore was cut the management at the mine wanted to follow it, but was overruled and the shaft continued through a partly bar ren zone. It is now to be hoped that the showing made on the mine will cause the company to begin active exploration for the ore bodies at depth.

OATMAN-RFVENUF SHAFT GOING DOWN
 Z FEET PER DAY

The road from the Oatman Revenue camp to the shaft site has been com pleted and the shaft is now going down at the rate of three feet per shift. As soon as possible the ma chinery will be on the ground and the work of driving this shaft China ward will be pushed with all possible vigor. The contractor has a good force of miners at work and results are anticipated within the next thirty or forty days.
 The property of the Oatman Reve- nue Mine scompany is situated some distance to the north and west of the Sheeptrail, one of the most important old properties in that part of the San Francisco mining district, and in what was known as the best and most con- sistently mineralized part of the range. It has splendid management and the money of the investor is to be used only in development and bet terments.

WILLIAM BRINK MEETS TRAGIC DEATH IN WATERS
 OF THE COLORADO RIVER

William Brink met a tragic deatl in the Colorado river, near Greggs ferry, on Friday, April 1. The unfor
 tunate man had gone to the river witt
 some other cowboys to receive a con
 signment of cattle for the Naquints Cattle company, successor to the Cla! Springs Cattle company, and in at tempting to cross the river at tho rapids was caught in swirl and car ried away. The other men, on botl sides of the river, stood helplessly by while the poor fellow was carried down to his death. The horse that Brink was riding at first refused tc enter the river, but he finally went in and when but short distance from the bank reared up and fell over back
 ward. The horse disappeared and was never seen again, while Brink came to the surface once and then dis appeared.
 Blaine Crozier and several cowboys, who had taken a shipment of cattle from the Clay Springs ranch, was on the south side of the river making an attempt to drive the cattle across the rapids, but meeting with small suc- cess. Brink was on the other side of the stream with Lee Cox and Walter Pymm, of St. George. Seeing that the men were having difficulty Cox and Brink forced their horses into the stream, but the ferding was so rough and the horses appeared to be so frightened that they went back to land. After watching the men trying to get the cattle into the river Brink again entered the river, remarking to the other men, q am going across to get those cattle," and almost immed- lately went down.
 As the Colorado river seldom gives up it's dead, the chances are that the body of William Brink will never be found. More than year ago a mem- Der of the state survey party met death near the same place, his body never having been found.
 William Brink was born in Arizona about 30 years ago. He was married to a Prescott girl in 1917 and remov- ed to the north part of the county, where he was employed by the Clay Springs Cattle company, in whose em- ployment he was at the time of his daath Ie leaves A number of rela- tives besides wife and child to mourn his loss. Mrs. w. A. Rief, of King man, is a sister of deceased. He was a fine fellow and had a wide circle of friends who will sincerely mourn his death.

|LOCAL TROOP OF BOY
 SCOUTS TO GIVE DANCE

Kingman Troop No 1 Boy Scouts of America will give their first dance of the year Saturday, April 23rd. All money cleared on this dance will be used to help purchase uniforms and equipment for the Troop.
 The Boy Scout movement in the United States furnishes one of the best agencies and schools for training and graduating good, hearty, red bloeded American citizens ever dream ed of. No American community can afford to ignore or fail to support it.
 This is intended as a gentle hint to our friends that, if they cannot be American Boy Scouts, they should try to be as nearly the real thing as they can. And that means:-
 Help the boys make their dance a success. Buy a ticket to show that you want to help. That will prove, anyway, that you can be a good Scout!
 All members of the local Troop have and are authorized to sell tick etc. Price of admission will be one dollar.

SHAFT STARTED ON
 M|LLER'S PROPERTY
 ADJOINING KATHERINE

A contract for the sinking of 200 foot shaft and exploratory work from the bottom thereof has been let to c. E. Sherman and Sam Brethour by c. N. Miller and associates. This shaft has been selected on the second east extension of the Katherine mine, over in the Union Pass section, the new syndicate having secured the en- tire control of large estate, embrac- ing part of the Katherine vein to the east. The work mapped out embraces a large amount of development, the in- stallation of machinery and work in- cidental to the opening of new prop erty in new camp. A compressor and hoist is now being installed.
 The men at the head of affairs have long been in the mining game and they propose the rapid opening of the mine and putting it on a producing basis. They have a fine looking group of claims and the impression prevails apong the miners who know the district that they are in line to make big success of their venture. The main claim of the group lies rel atively to the Katherine as the Unit ed Eastern to the Tom Reed, and has the same chance for successful career as the Eastern had when Long and McIver took over the big Oatman gold producer.
