LEGISLATURE BUT
 ONE MORE WEEK TO GO

The Arizona legislature with but about one week to go has not been as active as past legislative bodies and unless the members are willing to hold over without pay we may expect many of the important bills to go by the board. The omnibus highway bill was sent to committee on style and re- vision Thursday and when it comes from that body we expect some of the kinks will be taken out and additional sums of about $2O0,OO0 will be added to placate some of the countries. It is expected that this measure, which under present conditions is a necessi- ty, will go through.
 An effort is being made to create the Cabinet" plan of handling all in stitutions in the state, which prede- cates the change of constitution to al low of a new order of things that will largely cut the expense of state op- eration. The bill has the endorse ment of the governor and one of the most important bills before the legis- lature.
 No bill of importance has yet come to the governor, the only measures re- ceiving official recognition being small appropriations.

kINCMAN CONSOLIDATED TUN-
 MEL MORE THAN 2200 FEET

The deep tunnel of the Kingman Consolidated Mines Company has reached depth of 220O feet. At the 2000 crosscut is being driven across the vein and it is expected that ore bodies will be encountered. The vein at this point looks good, being nearly 100 feet wide and showing minerali- zation entirely across it on the sur face. It is expected that few hun dred feet more will bring the tunnel into the old Prince George ore body, which was one of the most important bodies of ore opened in the Stockton Hill country. The pay ore had a width of IS feet and averaged 22O ounces silver without asserting.
 Work on the big bore is being rushed with all possible speed, Supt. Halloran carrying the work on with three shifts of miners. He expects to have the heading far into Prince George ground within the next ninety days.

BUILD RAILROADS

Speeded up by the recent discovery of rich ore on the 2,000-foot level of the Magma Copper company's proper ty, work is to start in the near future upon the broad-guage railroad which is to be built between Magma Junction and Superior, according to information received today from E. H. Deyling, re- gently a Miami visitor. The survey for this road was made some time ago, but work has been delayed ow- ing to numerous difficulties. Actual construction is to begin within 60 days according to the latest report.-Miami Bulletin.

WILL ISSUE CERTIFICATES
 FOR HUMBOLDT SHELTER

Judge w. H. Sawtelle has granted to G. M. Colvocoresses, receiver for the Consolidated Arizona Smelling company, formerly operated at Hum boldt, Yavapai county, the right to issue $21,000 to pay accumulated debts. Some Mohave county people are interested in this corporation, which, we understand, was put out of business by the excessive demand of the government for income tax, grow ing out of a misapprehension as to the manner in which the corporation had refinanced it's affairs. The demand was for $600,000 on the refinancing of the company, when in fact no money had changed hands. It is expected that the matter will be strengthened out and that the plant will soon re- sume operations. It had been doing a good business when the government minions came down on it and forced a close down.

[. Q. ). MILL
 BEING. TUNED UP

The c. o. D. mill was tuned up yesterday for the first time. This plant is one of the most important and uptodate milling plants in the state, having every labor saving device and every value saving device that could
 obtained. It is expected to be in full commission as soon as the belts have been stretched, the machines carefully examined and everything put in ship shape.
 The plant is capable of handling 100 tons of ore daily and the mine is now in shape to keep the mill well supplied with that quantity of high grade ore that tests have shown to give up a splendid saving of value.
 The c. O. D. mine is situated 16 miles north of Kingman, being con- nected up with the railroad over a splendid highway. It is opened to the 500 level and stopes have been opened on the 400 through massive bodies of high grade shipping and milling ore. No mine in the country has greater potential features than this property and we expect big things from it as soon as the mill is regularly in con- mission,

TEXAS MAN TO DRILL
 IN VIRGIN OIL FIELD

A. V. Taylor, of Wichita Falls, Texas, one of the best known oil men of that country, has received a permit to drill for oil in the Virgin River field of Utah, some distance north of the Mohave county line. This struc- ture extends far down into Arizona, breaking through the Virgin moun- tains in this state, and extending into Nevada. At Virgin City four wells have been drilled on the structure and oil has been encountered at depths of from 570 to 600 feet. While these shallow wells are not large producers they indicate that something better may be found in the other sands. The oil so far has been found in the first sand, there apparently being three sands.
 A small refinery has been erected on North Fork and gasoline and kero- sene has been manufactured. It is said that the oil has higher sulphur content than any oil in the country, but the refined product is of excellent quality.

CONSOLIDATED GOLD
 MINES INCORPORATED

James G. Kezeler and L. L. Works have incorporated the Consolidated Gold Mines company with capitali- zation of 100000 one dollar shares. The purpose of the company is to take over and develop mining property and it has already secured properties in Wallapi mountain, Lost Basin and at Oatman. We understand that the company has secured the Times mine, which an attempt was made to oper- ate during the boom days, but which failed because of the extravagant management and lack of judgment. The vein showed some wonderfully rich streaks of gold ore and the whole mass is said to carry fairly good values, which should develop into high grade mill ore.
 Over in the Lost Basin country the company has secured some good prop critics, and we may say the same of the company's holdings in Wallapai mountain. The company expect to carry development to the productive stage and will take over other proper ties for that purpose. The men at the head of affairs are conscientious and investors will get a run for their money.

sPEAKINGOF WAGES
 ON THE FARM

A great hollar has gone up the past
 several years from the farmer about the high wage he has had to meet and the enormous expense he has been nut to in the meeting of these in creased demands. While we admit that the farmer has had to meet wage conditions which have never before been confronted by the tillers of the soil in the United States, the wage today is inadequate. The Bureau ot Crop Estimates of the Department or Agriculture has been gathering statls- tics of wage conditions in all the stat es and give their finding in the latest bulletin, and here it is: Mississippi paws farm labor $41 per month with out board; South Carolina, $41.oO; Al abama, $42.2O; Georgia, $44; Tennes- see, S46. On the other hand Colorado and Nevada pay $107; Montana and Idaho s1O5; Utah and Washington s1O4. The average rate for farm labor with board throughout the Unit, ed States is $46.S9 and without board s64.95. During the harvest time labor was paid $3.6O with board and S4.36 without board. Can any enc see in this any drastic wage condition affecting the farmer. At the same ne time wheat sold up from $.SO to $z.4l and corn approximately the same: O1 course the farmer may have some hol- lar coming, because he had been pay ing only $17.69 in 1895, which wage rose to s29.SS in 1914. The fact that farmers were paying really starvation wage during the years prior to the war is no reason why they should consider the present rate of wage ex- cessive. No man can live on the average wage now paid on the farm, especially if we take the wage palo the worker without board. Farmers have been getting an enormous ad- vance over prewar prices for thelf product, but the farm worker has been getting the lowest scale of wage paid in any industry.

REAPING EDUCATIONAL
 HARVEST

A few years ago young lady sold to Prescott people copies of an encylo- pedia and threw in a few Huntington Beach, California, lots as good meas ure. The lot owners probably never gave their purchase any more thought than they gave to the encyclopedia until the other day, the story goes, they were offered '$100 in cash and royalty on any oil that might be found beneath their ground. Thus are wise and unwise investors rewarded. Hunt ington Beach is now the scene of an oil boom second to none in the state of California.

RICH OLD MEXICO
 PROPERTIES REDEEM
 ED BY HENRY JOHNSON

Historic old Mexico is always to be depended upon to bring forth any thing from an insurrection to an an tigua, and Henry Johnson comes home this week from that wonderland with a report that he and San Francisco associates have secured iron lands in the state f Chihuahua that are very rich. The lands were owned by MT. Johnson and associates some years prior to the revolution that made a fugitive of Pres. Diaz and kept that country in turmoil ever since, and oW- inp to the unsettled state of govern mental affairs and the immense taxes levied by the Carranza government thev had to release their holdings. Recently getting in touch with affairs in Chihuahua MT. Johnson associated himself with w. B. McCubbin, ot San Francisco and the two men went lnto Mexico and succeeded in denounclng a large acreage covered by the iron. It was formerly surveyed and engineers reports show that there is in sight K OOO. .OO0 tons of ore that will aver ace 609o and 659o iron. There are no deleterious substances, such as sul- phur or phosphorous in the ores' Samples brought back show the ore to be hemitite, similar to that pro duced in the Vermillion Cliffs or Mln, nesota. Some years ago an offer or ooo ror ton was made for the deposit and it is possible that better price will now be obtained. The mines are only 30 miles from the main line ol tbe Mexican railroad and the country ;s as level as floor, making the bu;ldinp of a railroad into the proper tv a matter of small moment.
 Aside from the iron mines, MT Johnson and his associates nave se
 cnred a lead-silver property, an an tepua. that in the days of long ago was one of the principal mines Of Mex ico. It has huge caverns from WHICH tbe ores were taken in the old days, but there is still vast tonnage o1 available ore, which the owners no" propose to mine.
 As Mexico is becoming normal mn inc in that country is on the upgrade and we believe American investors will be able to reap harvest rom old or new investments. The men who secure property now are in posi- tion to begin the production ot ore when the market warrants, ana there. fore may take advantage of the 1lrst unturn in marketing conditions. MT Johnson, who lived in Mexico more than 15 years, is to be congratulateo on securing the splendid property tne titles of which he brings back with him. MT. McCubbin is here with MT Johnson and expects to take an actlve nart in the further development or

DEVELOPMENT WORK ON
 THE GREAT REPUBLIC

w. D. Grannis has gone to the Great Republic mine, in the Cedar country, where he will put in some time devel- oping the Great Republic claim. This vein is one of the most important in the Wallapai mountains and we be- lieve that development work will bring it into the producing class shortly. Ores running high in silver values have already been opened in this prop erty and with every foot of work more and more ore shows. What was taken to be the footwall in the old workings, was recently discovered to be another ore body and crosscuts into it brought to view fine shipping ore. It is on this new ore body that MT. Grannis contemplates future development.

A Real Fish

The City Cousin had a vague idea he should show the Country Cousin all the instructive sights of the Big Town. She had other notions, having heard mention of Broadway cabarets, but listened patiently while he lectur- ed learnedly at the Acquarium on the trunk fish, moon fish, angel fish, devil fish, parrot fish, ct al.
 "How very interesting, Cousin Egg bert" she murmured. q think they're just too lovely-but couldn't we go now and look at the planked shad?"

OLD MOSS PROPERTY
 WILL START DEVELOP WENT WORK SOON

It is expected that the famous old Moss property will be unwatered to- day and as soon as the drifts are re- lieved of muck and any caves there may be caught up operations will be commenced in the opening of the ore bodies. We believe that with proper development the Moss will surely make a producer. It has sent out many hundred thousand dollars from the old developments, which were car ried on through shaft and tunnel, and when these old ore bdies are picked up there is sure going to be some excitement in the old camp.
 A. c. Werden, who is financing the company, was in Kingman today and is sanguine of carrying the property into first place as gold producer of the county. The Moss vein is inn mense and only needs intelligent de- velopment to put it among the big mines of the country.
