.LEASfRS VISITING THE
 WHITE HILLS PROPERTY

Senator Kent Keller, who is getting the White Hills mines in shape for an intensive development campaign, was in Kingman several days this week shaping up his new corporation. He reports that many men have been querying him regarding leases on the famous old property and states that leases for one year will be granted, dating from the 1st day of March, with a royalty of 20%o. The mines that will be leased are the G. A. R., Prince Albert, Daisy and other claims, the company reserving the Occident and Norma for operation by the com pany. This leaves fine blocks of ground open to lease on the various mines of the big estate. There are about AZ claims in the group, but of course the prominent ones are those mentioned above. Yesterday several cars of people went out to the mines for the purpose of looking them over and selecting the blocks of ground that they wish to take over There are many buildings in the camp that can be made comfortable by do- ing some necessary repairs, and plenty of tools for all mining purposes.
 With a large number of leases on these properties Mohaye county will again enter the lists of production of high grade silver ores. Leasers have made many camps and we expect them to bring White Hills to the front.

PIOCHE MINE IS FINANCED

w. A. Clark, son of Senator w. A. Clark, has entered into big mining deal that embraces some of the fam ous old Pioche properties. The deal involves the expenditure of about $2,- 100000 and will bring about the fur ther development of many of the old mines that produced heavily during the palmy days of the camp. The Prince and other mines have been producing the past several years and have paid a great deal of money in dividends. With new money invested in the district mining will be greatly bettered, considerable costs being cut from the producing mines because of cooperation. A camp with one oper- ating mine is somewhat handicapped, cooperation between several compan- ies being necessary to the greater prosperity of the district.

TOM REED HITS ORE
 BODY ON RED CLOUD

Twelve feet of ore is reported from the crosscut of the Tom Reed on the 720 level of the Red Cloud mine, where crosscutting to the United Eastern vein has been in progress the past week. The ore is said to be identical with the good ore of the Eastern, but it is claimed that so far it is not as high grade as the ore in the Eastern, although very high as- says have been taken from it. The people of the big gold camp are, nev- ertheless, jubilant over the strike and predict wonderful things of the mine. The Red Cloud lies to the north of the Eastern and is entirely surrounded by the estate of that company. As the Eastern has followed the ore body in its property almost to the line of the Red Cloud it is reasonable to suppose that sooner or later an ore body would be found on the rake of the vein far ther to the north. That this theory has proven correct is in evidence in the big ore body that is now being opened. As soon as the footwall is encountered drifts will be carried along the vein both east and west and the ore body opened.
 The shaft on the Red Cloud was sunk to its present depth in 1919, but owing to the strike among the wob- plies at the time work was suspended and it was only about ten days ago that it was thought best to again be- gin the active development of the mine. The crosscut was driven to- ward the south and the vein picked up within short distance of the shaft. It is expected that it will be found as large as the vein in the Eastern, which carries a width of about 40 feet between walls.

RALPH H. COLE VISITS
 TENNESSEE-SCHYULK|LL MINES AT CHLORIDE

Last Monday morning Ralph H. Cole, accompanied by Mrs Cole and G. N. Mclean arrived in Kingman from Los Angeles and departed to Chloride with l.. H. Foster, the well known mining and civil engineer. There the party looked over the Ten nessee and Schuylkill mines, MT. Cole placing Supt. Kelly in charge for the purpose of getting the property in shape for an intensive development and production campaign.
 The Schuylkill Mining company is now entirely in the hands of Ralph H. Cole, MT. Cole taking over the in terests of Frank A. Garbutt. It is his intention to put the mine on a produc- tion basis at once. MT. Riley will have the water taken out of the lower part of the mine, catch up any of the ground that is insecure. As soon as the new organization is complete it is the intention of the management to further develop, open the stopes and prepare for production. The mine has enormous bodies of high grade lead silver ores, values also running high in zinc. A large mill is to be rebuilt within the next six months and pro- duction put under way.
 The new corporation, with capi- talization of $5OO,0O0 in $1OO shares, is to be brought into existence at once, and a big group of men will back the project, which we believe to be one of the most important in the state The mine is now in splendid shape for production, having enough ore blocked out to maintain big mill at full cap acity for several years. Its estate is one of the largest in the district and the mines have been wonderful pro- Gucers. Under the management of the United States Smelling company production was kept at high speed, the output averaging about 200 tons daily for three years. The deepest shaft is down about 400 feet, al- though only a small amount of work has been carried on in the lower part of the mine. Below the 900 a body of ore averaging 8 feet thick and about 300 feet in length was opened by the old operators that carried an av- craze of 259o lead and 259o zinc, as well as values in gold and silver. This ore body has ben opened to some ex- tent below the old works of the com pany, and further exploration along the 1400 level ought to bring in won derful property. There are two veins, close in, that carry the mill values.
 MT. and Mrs. Cole departed Monday night to Washington, where they will attend the inaugural ceremonies on the 4th of March, being personal friends of Pres. and Mrs. Harding. They expect to be gone three weeks, after which time MT. Cole expects to spend a large part of his time in the reconstruction of the property and the furtherance of the financing of the company. MT. Cole is son of Nathan Cole, one of the pioneers who was ac- tive in the work of building St. Louis into the wonderful city that it is to- day, and is a wealthy and influential resident of Pasadena.

GOLD RELIEF MAY
 ST|LLBEFORTHCOM|NC

The Miner has been strong believ- CT in the ultimate solution of the gold situation, either through the enact ment of the McFadden or other con- gressional agency. While we knew that the bill would meet with strong opposition from manufacturing jewel CTS and those whose necessities ran largely into gold requirements, we also believed that fairness of the peo- pie to all forms of metal production, or for that matter into anything where costs were established and prices fixed, would make possible the alleviation of stress or duress that was placed upon gold production. We are yet of the opinion that some way out will be found, and that gold mining will be given a forward impulse to- ward betterment. .
 The past week has congealed senti- ment for and against the passage of the McFadden bill. The Jewellers Vigilance committee, which is said to have $50,OO0,000 back of it to defeat this bill, has been hard at work. To aid them in the work Prof. B. w. Kem- merer has appeared as the Academic Expert in opposition to the passage of the measure with the view that 1t would disorganize existing monetary issues, and advising that no inter- ference should be countenanced in the fixed price of gold.
 The American Bankers Association is also said to be opposed to the pas sage of the McFadden bill, although many important bankers, men who have interests aside from banking, are favorable to the measure. And on the other hand it is understood that the opposition of the treasury depart ment has been overcome, the secretary of the treasury agreeing that he would give his unquestioned support to the passage of the bill, providing the attorney general would give an opinion sustaining the constitution aliyt of the act. There is no reason to believe that the act would be against either public policy or void un- der any theory of constitutional law, this phase of the bill having already been passed upon by lawyers we'll versed in constitutional law.
 An effort was made a few days ago in congress to expedite the bill and it is now in the hands of com mittee favorable to it's passage, and all hearings will be rushed.

UNITED EASTERN
 TOM REED ARGUMENT MONDAY MORNING

Next Monday the second phase of the Tom Reed-United Eastern case will come up before Judge Bollinger, when the case will be argued and sub mitted for consideration and decision. The following lawyers will present the cause for the respective parties to the action: Tom Reed-William Colby, of San Francisco, and L. L. Wallace, of Kingman. United East ernS-John P. Gray, of Spokane, Idaho; R. L. Alderman, of Haily, Idaho, and c. w. Herndon of King man. The case will be exhaustively argued, the gentlemen having the matter we'll in hand from their re- spective standpoints.. The argument will be we'll worth listening to by the man who may have some conception of both mineralogy and geology and we expect there will be large at tendance.
 Last week Judge Bollinger was the recipient of bound volume showing handsome photographs of the Tom Reed and United Eastern exhibits. This volume is work of art and is worth viewing, and we feel sure will be highly prized by the Judge. No conception can be given of the pains taking work that has been put in on these exhibits until one views the many photographs of the various sec tions of the mines and the faulted zones. The photographs are the work of F. H. Mcclure, of Kingman, who has left a record in this volume that will endure for many years after the actors in this mining drama have gone the way of all flesh.

The Better Part of ValOr

Near Borden, England, about twen- ty miles from the coast, some embryo American aviators had gone into camp. Fritz showed his customary hospitality by treating them to an air raid the very first night, and the or der was given to scatter without a moments delay. Everybody scatter ed.
 Several hours later all reported again to roll call except Private Pot ter. A thorough search failed to re- veal his whereabouts and finally he was given up as lost. Then, two days later, he reappeared..
 "What's the big idea, Potter?" in- quired the officer in charge.
 "Well, sir" replied Potter, "to be perfectly frank I was getting out so far I was afraid of submarines"

LOOKING OVER MINING
 PROPERTY AT OATNAN

Col. L. P. Hanson, of Pasadena, one of the promoters of the Tom Reed property and now interested in several other mining propositions at Oatman, has been looking over his holdings in the big gold camp this week. As a consequence of his visit operations have again been resumed on the Pitts burg mines, lying to the northwest of Oatman, near the Neglected and Her cules groups. This property has been opened to considerable depth and the impression is that with further devel- opment a producer will be brought forth. Col. s. R. Porter is in con- mand of the operations.

Frank Boyd Has
 "Near-NervOus" Shock

Somebody's twisting of the English language trifle the other morning, caused Frank Boyd to have a near nervous shock. A gentleman rushed into the Boyd Ham and Egg Empor- ium and started off like this, "Say, do you know that fellow who owns the white spitz dog. We'll he's dying over there under the dance floor". The scene then shifts to yard out side with Frankie doing a mad rush to save the life of his friend, probably wood alcohol had done it's worst. But the carrier of the sad tidings meant the dog was dying.

URGES PASSAGE OF
 BILL FOR EX-SERV|CE MEN

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 15.-Here in the interests of the soldier settlement act now pending before Legislature, Capt. O. B. Kalbaugh arrived yester- day from Tucson as the representative f the Luke-Pruitt organization com posed of 35 ex-service men now sta toned at Pastime Park.
 Captain Kalbaugh said that the re- lief offered the disabled soldiers by the bill gives them the chance for re- mobilization that they are seeking.
 q have interviewed a number of members of the legislature today and I feel confident that the bill will pass, providing it is not tackled on the fri gation or highway bill, as has been proposed. It provides for land and the assistance that will be necessary in the establishing of stock ranches such as we have in mind," said the captain.
 Captain Kalbaugh said that the boys at Pastime park had dreamed of owning a township in the northeastern part of the state to be worked on the community basis. The property the service men have in mind is located in Apache county and according to Cap tain Kalbaugh among the 35 every needed business and profession is rep resented.
 "We1l have a town of our own," he said.
 The idea, however, is to recruit the state and then the United States, he said, with the view in mind of at tracing as many as 150 families to the settlement.
 In addition to boosting for the bill, which he believes covers every phase of the situation, the captain with committee from Pastime Park, includ- ing L P. Robertson, John Connolly and H. B. Radcliffe, held conference with Gov. Thomas E. Campbell, who spoke in favor of the bill.

IOWA FALLS
dam Case Up
Judge G. D. Thompson, of
This City, Hearing In
teresting Case at
EldOra.
RIVER DAM INVOLVED
Miller Says Electric Com
pany has Ruined his
Dam.

In the trial of the case now being
beard by Judge Thompson. of this city
in the district court in Eldora, are i'll
yOlved several interesting and possibly
heretofore uncXplorcd points of law
The title of the action is James A
Harp VS.. the Iowa Falls Electric
Light Company, in which the plaintiff
is seeking to enjOin the defendant
company from maintaining dam
across the Iowa river in the town OF
Iowa Falls. The plaintiff is the owner
of Il certain mill Of water power ma
chinery and fixtures, one Of the few
mills of like nature still in existence
in this section of country, the mill hav-
ing been erected in the year 1857 by the
plaintiffs father.
Some years ago the electric com
pany caused dam to be created near
the dam owned by plaintiff and used by
him as power to mill grain. The
plaintiff claims that by reason of the
second dam in the vicinity Of his mill
his power to fully operate his ma
chinery has been interfered with on ac
count OF the second dam forcing back
water in the mill pond used by plain
tiff.
The legal phases of the question are
=, DI,,:, I,
right to operate to full capacity can not
be intcrfcrcd With by the erection of Il
second dam adjacent to him sufficient
to in any way nu!iify in any manner
the complete operation of his plant
The defendant asserts fiat the cree
tiowby his company of the second dam
in no manner interferes with the mill
property in the manufacture of its
products, and even if it did that the
plaintiff holds only Il prOscriptive right
on the river. the waters being for pub
lie Use. The defendant company lights
about twenty-five towns from its plant
in Iowa Falls, the power for which
comes largely. from the waters of the
Iowa river.
1t is claimed that Judge Thompson
in hearing the case will have to in
q sense pioneer the legal way, some
of the questions in the controversy
not having ever been acted upon by
the courts. The trial of the case has
how held the attention of the court and
attorneys for an entire week and will
probably reach a conclusion this week
