KINGMAN, Ariz., May 21.-Attract- ed by the very promising ore show ings in the precious meta! bearing dis tricts of Mohave County for which Kingnan is the outfitting point, pros pectors and miners are arriving here in increasing numbers. They are drifting" in from the hard rock" camps of Colorado, the copper camps of Montana and the silver camps of Idaho by train, by auto, by fiiyver and even by the siowest of all modes of transportation - the "burro rOute." Although the rush" that is being pre- dicted is as yet in it's initial stage the local hotels are already overcrowded with patrons. general business is on the increase and to rent house in Kingman is almost impossible.
 The scenes of animation now taking form are the forerunners of a mining excitement of proportions and are ty- pical of those presented in the earlier days of Cripple Creek. Tonopah. Gold field and other noted camps whose high lights illumine the pages of min ing history. Tn the lobby of the Hotel Beale. the clearing house for mining affairs here, are to be seen men who have mined from the South African Rand to the Arctic Circle.

Less than six weeks ago the camp-site of Katherine was naught but houseless waste of sage and sand. and mining activity was confined to single property - the Katherine mine. Now. no less than a score of properties are being worked and the camp-site harbors more than twenty buildings.

get him to sound the desired number of

inches to come in actual contact with

NO BETTER CONCRETE
HIGHWAY ANYWHERE
Visiting Engineer Says Western Avenue
Stretch Is Fine Example of
Durability

considerable portion of the state
money available for use i'm Brattleboro
this year Tor permanent highway con-
Struction Is TO be used in building a
stretch OF concrete road ON Western ave-
nue. from the end of the bituminous road
near the Z. ). Hopkins place west as far
as the appropriation will go, aDproXi-
matcly 1000 feet
This decision has been reached largely
on account of the excellent service the
concrete stretch laid on Western avenue
in 1914 has given. In spite of the
heavy traffic to which this piece of high
way has been subjected it shows no
signs of wear and practically no effects
from frost action. 1t is in fact, the
only piece OF highway in Brattleboro
which is ready for use the moment the
snow is gone.
According to w. A. Rowen. an ex-
perienced highway engineer. who has
been in town for the past day or two in
consultation with Road Commissioner
lube ana District Supervisor d. Il.
Perry, the Western avenue stretch is
about the best example of concrete road
construction in New England. I'VE used
to think said Mr. ROwell this morning.
that we had to take road officials out
to Wayne county, Mich. to convince
them of the durability and superiority of
concrete construction. But with the
piece of road you have right here in
Brattleb0ro that is no longer necessary
Experience has proven, Mr. ROwell
says. that it is a mistake to think road
surfaces should be elastic An absolute
ly solid. rigid and unyielding road bed
with as straight surface as can be OBJ
tanned is the sort best adapted to heavy
traffic, and concrete construction, in his
opinion. requires such a slight amount
of upkeep that the question of first cost
is secondary.
Take your Western avenue concrete
road. for example" Mr. Rowen said in
concluding his eulogy. 1t has served
for nearly seven years at little or no
expense for maintenance and there is no
reason why it should not become an heir
loom to future generations. 1t is "a good
example of the truth of the following
poetic prescription:
Little drops of water.
Little grains of sand
Stone and Portland cement
OF any standard brand
Free from foreign matter.
With competent inspection.
Make the concrete roadway
The highway of perfection
