WORK TO START ON
 OLD '63 PROPERTY

J. P. Fitzpatrick and associates have made the purchase of the old "'63" mine on a cash deal and the company is to begin operations soon in the work of development. A shaft is to be sunk to a depth of several hundred feet on the mine and a tun- nel is to be driven in from the south end of the property, where a depth of 700 or 800 feet will be gained. A crosscut will also be driven into par allel vein for the purpose of prospect ing that part of the property.
 The '63 is one of the best known of the old time silver properties of the county and we feel certain that with the determination of the work mapped out that large producer will be brought in. The old ore bodies were among the most important of any on the Pacific coast and there is reason to believe that only a small part of these ores have been ex- tracted.

FARMERS IN CALIFORNIA
 GRAB MINING CLAIMS

Gold mining in many parts of Cal
 ifornia is practically out of commits
 sion. As an evidence of this condi-
 tion the other day a homesteader was
 given the prior right over the ground held by the old Julian Mining com pany, in San Diego county, which has a record production of more than three million of dollars. The Julian country is one of the best apple grow ing sections of the state and the or chardists have been encroaching on the mining claims, and have offered testimony that the ground is now more valuable for horticulture and vit- iculture than for mining. When the mining editor first came to the coast the camp of Julian was one of the most important in the State of Cali fornia, and there are men in King man who worked in the mines there in the late seventies of the last cen tury. The country may yet be ex- plotted for gold and silver, but the encroachment of the farmers is grad ually putting the miner and prospec- tor out of commission. Northern Cal ifornia is also fact deteriorating into a farming country, the ground cover ed by old placer and lode claims being planted to various crops and no recog- milton given to the past glories of these wonderfully productive regions

MARCH l5,F|NAL DATE
 INCOME TAX RETURNS

Single persons, though required to file return if their net income for 1920 was $1,000 or more, are, if they are the heads of families, granted a special exemption under the revenue laws. Such a person is defined by Treasury regulations as "a person who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more indi- viduals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relation ship by marriage or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family con- trol and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation" Such persons are allowed the exemption of $2,OOO granted a married person. In addi- tion, they are allowed credit of $2OO for each dependent under IS years of or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective.
 HUSBAND AND WIFE
 A married person living with hus- band and wife can not claim an addi- tional $2,000 exemption as the head of family. His or her exemption is based upon the martial status, ire spective of the support of others liv- ing in the same household. The addi- tional $200 credit for dependents does not apply to the husband or wife of a taxpayer. For example, if a mar ried man supports father who is in capable of self-support, he is entitled to the $200 credit for such person. If through force of circumstances he supports his wife away from home he is entitled to the $2,000 exemption all lowed married person, but not to a $200 credit for a dependent.
 A son who has left home but who sends his mother more than one-half the sum required for her support is entitled to the $2OO credit, provided the mother can not support herself. Otherwise, the amount must be con- sidered a gift, and, therefore, the credit is not allowed. A son living at home and supporting his father, mother, or other relative may claim the $2,000 exemption allowed the head of a family, but not the $2OO credit unless such relative is under IS years of age or incapable of self-support.

SAN FRANCISCO MEN
 VISIT THE DEAN MINE

Fred Fitzgerald and Frank O'Shea, of San Francisco, large share holders in the Dean mine were here Saturday until Monday looking over that big property. MT. Fitzgerald returned home Tuesday, but MT. O'Shea is at the mine, where he will remain some time. The latter gentleman is one of the big contractors of the Bay City and his trip into the mines is in the nature of a business and pleasure jaunt.
 Many other San Francisco people are interested in the Dean and the gentlemen will have chance to re- port back that their representative, MT. Aylwin, has picked a winner.

DIAMOND JOE INTO
 ORE IN WEST DRIFT

The drifts from the $40 level of the Diamond Joe mine have reached into the ore body to the west of the shaft 35 feet, the ore body being bet ter than two feet thick and of ship ping grade. To the east the drift has again picked up the ore body and is already in the ore more than 30 feet. This ore body has been entered to a length of nearly 100 feet and the breast is still showing better ore than at any other point. Shipments will soon be going out to the smelters, and the mill will be handling high grade of run of mine stuff.
 E. c. Bradshaw, who has been get ting the mine in shape for intensive production, departed in company of his wife Wednesday last for Los An geles, where he will confer with his associates in the enterprise. He ex- poets to get matters arranged so that the deep tunnel will soon be under way. This tunnel will enter the ore body about 900 feet below the apex and allow of better mining method being carried out. The mill will be established at the mouth of the tun- nel and all the ore and waste dropped to the tunnel level in ore pockets where it will be automatically hand led from that point through the mill We believe that with the tunnel in operation the mine will be splendid producer of rich ore.

PERMIT GRANTED
 TO ADAMANA co.

The Arizona Corporation Commits sion has given permit to the Ada mana Oil and Land Company to sell 300,000 shares of its treasury stock at 15 cents per share. This company is composed largely of Mohave County people and has a large acreage of ground in the Holbrook field, where a we'll has been drilled to a depth of about 2400 feet. It is reported that the company has some showing of oil and that further depth in this we'll is expected to prove the field either to be oil bearing or a dusty spot. Sev- eral other companies in the same field have holes down to the 2000 and have found some small oil pockets.

CATHERINE HAS g
 FEET OF $22O ORE

One of the most sensational strikes that has ben made in the river range is reported from the Katherine. This strike was made in the crosscut 300 feet east from the shaft on the 400 level, nine feet of ore being cut that averages eleven ounces ($220) gold, the balance of the big vein being of mill value. The crosscuts have shown wonderful values on all the levels and it is understood that the ore bodies have been proven up fully 1000 feet in length.
 On the 200 level, a crosscut in the east drift showed IS feet of ore that gave values of five ounces gold, while the balance of the vein, which is 6s feet thick carried mill values. Cross cuts are driven across the big ore bodies 50 feet apart, which gives the management good insight into the values throughout the whole vein, and at no place has ore been encountered that will average less than $15. This vein is one of the most important opened on the Pacific coast in recent years and predecates, to our way of thinking, what is possible when low CT horizon is reached in the Oatman country. Every foot of ground open ed on the four levels of the Katherine show the potentiality of that great property and gives courage to the peo- pie operating other properties in that neighborhood.
 So great has been the interest aroused in the big strike in the Kath- crime that every available foot of ground between that property and the Gold Chain, approximately four miles away, has been monumented, the To- cators in their zeal taking in patent ed mines as we'll as the open ground. Work is being done on the newly To- cated claims and it is possible that a large amount of work will be forth coming. The whole territory is min eral bearing and we can honestly ad- wise development on many veins that show in that section. &#.#

HELICOPTER MAY SUPPLANT PLANE
 IN AIR SERVICE

\ The inspiration for the helicopter, which the French government may adopt to replace airplanes, came to in ventor Eaters Pescara while he was in a cell in Sante Prison, in Paris, in 1916. He had been incarcerated as a dangerous suspect at the behest of the international police.
 Aiding the inventor were two fel- low prisoners, one of whom was car pet maker and the other dish wash CT.
 These facts came to light Saturday when it was officially announced that the French Government is sending a distinguished commission to Spain to test the specimen helicopter built by Pescara at Barcelona. It is claimed that this new helicopter rises or de- scends vertically, can mount to great height in few seconds, is' not affect ed by wind or weather, and is capable of standing still in the air. These features, and it's great speed either backward or forward, render the ma chine the most formidable war weapon ever devised.
 Simultaneously with the French Minister of Wars choice of Pescara's helicopter. for government tests, Peter Cooper Hewitt sailed for New York yesterday on the Acquatania after an- announcing he has in pocket plans for a perfected helicopter built on still better principles than the Pescara machine. Hewitt will urge the Unit ed States Government to dopt his ma chine in order that the United States may not be behind France in the race for perfected armaments.

PETITIONING THE LEGISLATURE

Joe Rudy and some other cattlemen were in Kingman yesterday circulat- ing a petition to the legislature pray ing that body to enact a law requiring the Santa Fe railroad to fence it's tracks through the State of Arizona. The cattlemen south of Kingman have been losing many cattle on the rail road tracks and believe that the only way to stop the killings is to compel the road to fence it's lines. Practical ly all the trackage of the Santa Fe in the state is already fenced, with the exception of the mileage between Kingman and the Colorado river.

These Goldwyn directors make you do all the things you can't-and then they're satisfied.
 Fine climate-yes- especially these days-it's so good you don't want to use it up-so you keep out of it all you can. . see where an oil painting sold back in New York for $260,000, and says to my wife, "They pay more for stills than for movies,' don't they?"
 I saw Geraldine Farrar and Lou Tellegen in their Cadillac, and so went and bought one. says to my wife, "What's good enough for Ger aldine Farrar is good enough for me"
 Say, this pictures going to be some novelty. None of the managerial force has even read the story.
 When Goldwyn decided to make fewer and better pictures, that's when they got me. I guess it'll be pretty good picture, at that-an awfully good cast-and the star ain't in it much. By taking out some of my action and putting in a title, they helped it a lot!
