 The campaign was declared closed promptly at g o'clock, when the ballot box was given into the possession of the judges, Treasurer Wayne Hubbs, A. L. Horner and Jack Hemphill and the counting of votes proceeded almost immediately. " .-~'.'~. ..---1
 The Miner office, where the count ing of votes was conducted, was com fortably filled with contestants and their friends, and good humor and suitability were marked characteris- tics of the event.
 They were not left long in doubt of the outcome of their six weeks of strenuous work, thanks to the quick, decisive manner in which the judges disposed of the matter in hand.
 The contest was one of friendly rivalry throughout, in which no feel ing of bitterness had place, the best of relations existing among the con- testants at all times. When the re suits were announced, the satisfaction of the contestants was fervent testi- mony of their qualification for their individual winnings, and congratula- tions were heartily exchanged among them.
 The Miner wishes to thank the con- testants through it's columns for the splendid work they did during the con test, and the spirit of loyalty they showed the paper in their efforts to build up its subscription list. We feel that no other group of contestants could have done the work half so thoroughly, nor obtained such grati- flying results. It is doubtful if there is a home that was not visited by one or more of the workers and so strong an, appeal did they make to the people that the percentage of refusals was practically nil. ~ d,
 To the judges also we wish to ex- tend our thanks for the manner in which the final count of the votes was made, and for their kindness in acting nthe capacity of final arbiters of the contest. Their naming of winners was accepted as unbiased rulings of disinterested outsiders, as was fore gone conclusion from the caliber and standing of the men performing this duty, and all felt satisfied that the money was distributed approximately to the business secured by the contes- .tants.
 Nor would we be unmindful of the splendid support accorded the contes- tants and this newspaper, by gen. erous and loyal public, without which the whole campaign must have been failure. To show you our apprecia- ton of this support it will ever be our aim to give you a bigger and better Mohave County Miner.
 OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST -,
 The Miner can point with just de gree of pride to a subscription list increased by more than 600 new pat rons through the enterprise of its con testants. Few, if any, papers cover ing field of this size can boast of over 50 per cent of the circulation possessed by the Miner. This not only reflects credit to the paper, but to the community as well, for to a great extent the progressiveness of a community is largely estimated by the support given the home paper.
 The Miner circulation means that this paper goes into 95 per cent of the homes of this county. The wide awake merchant will quickly grasp the opportunity so offered to get before the householders by the greater use of it's advertising columns to sing the merit of his goods. It is seldom that | community is covered so completely by any one pupllcatlon.
 AND
 Trusting that the winners will de- rive a full measure of satisfaction from the prizes which through their enegy and efforts they have so de- servedly won, and thanking one and all for the interest they have taken and the efforts they have put forth during the six weeks campaign, the curtain falls on the Miners 1921 Battle of Ballots.
 F. w. Mcintosh, campaign manager, who handled the Miners subscription contest, comes in for a just amount of commendation for the clean manner in which he handled the contest. MT. Mcintosh who is a ,newspaperman of many years experience, had the inter ests of both the newspaper and the contestants at heart and handled the accordingly.
