found ways of letting the American
government know Of Italy's dis
quietude concerning large armies

suggesting through the press for
some days that the United States

other conference specifically for the

CONSIGNMENT OF OLD WINE
MYSTERIOUsLY DISAPPEARS.

The French detective service is
frankly baffled. while the delega-
ton headquarters, or. rather, the
principal members of the delegation,
are broken hearted. They had
with them some of their most IA
vorite vintage of 1904. a wine with
IA mellowness and bouquet that
would fetch a kings ransom in al
most any United States port. The
most particular Pol Roger was Sc
cluded and maintained as piece
de resistance when such should be
needed. 1t was not to be wasted,
much less to be tasted. yet 1t de-
veloped yesterday that by the case
il has most mysteriously disap-
peared.' Owing to the extreme diff
Guilty in walking through the lobby
of one of the city's most prominent
hotels with such conspicuous bag
gage. the detectives have quietly
limited that nothing OF the kind
happened and are casting suspi-
cious glances at the less important
members of the delegation, who
may have developed a thirst.

RETURN FROM TRIP
 TO Fl DORADO FIELD

Harvey Klotsch and Earl Alderson returned to Kingman from the Ell Do rado oil fields Wednesday night.
 MT. Klotsch spent several days in the field looking over his company's holdings and the field in general.
 He says the Fl Dorado field is now producing more oil than any other field in the United States ever pro- duced in the same length of time from the date of it's discovery. The oil is of very good quality. It will be a long time however before the full ex- tent of the field is determined. The Standard Oil Company is very heavily interested in the new field and going to great expense in preparing to take care of the production.
 The Border Oil Company, of which MT. Klotsch, Earl Alderson and J. H. Conway are the organizers, will start drilling on their holdings there prob- ably within the next sixty days.

M0HAVE COUNTS GOLD PRODUCTION
 LAST YEAR CLOSE TO THREE MILLION

Last year Mohave county's produc-
 tion of gold was close to $2,OOO,OOO more than any other county in the state and exceeded the entire produc- tion of all the counties by close to $1,0OO,000. This production was se- cured from 203,15S short tons of ore. while its next largest competitor, Gila had an ore production of 7,415,O52 short tons. The production of the county in metals was as follows: Gold, 137,972.32 ounces; silver, 147,612 ounces; copper, 121, ,125 pounds; lead, 613,9O2 pounds. The total value of the product of the county was $S,- o76,43 giving us 7th place in the county production of the state. The total production of the state in gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc was $114, ,609077, as against $11l,i57,s72 for 1919. ",
 Five counties produced more silver than did Mohave, this metal being a by-product of the copper smelters, and only one county produced zins--Yav- apai. Gila was the largest producer of copper, exceeding the production of Cochise county by nearly 60,O00, ,000. Yavapai was third with a production of 114,937 ,0S0 pounds, being only T. Q00,O00 pounds below Cochise. The production of Yavapai came from two mines, the United Verde and United Verde Extension, although the Hum- boldt smelter produced some copper from foreign ores.

ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT AT WHITE HILLS TO
 START IN FEW DAYS

Senator Kent Keller is in King man for few days from the White Hills, where he has been looking af- ter mining affairs. The management has gotten the big compressor in po- sition on the Occident mine and within a few days the pump will be clearing the lower levels of that property of water. As soon as the water is taken out sinking, to new level will be un- der way and the drifts will be car ried into the big ore body to the west. A crosscut is contemplated from the deep level into the Horn Silver vein. it being proposed to pick up the fault ed portion to the north and carry de- velopment along the segment toward the old works farther to the east.
 The new work contemplates a big campaign and the opening of the ore bodies on all the levels, insuring enough ore on which to operate the big mill for a long time. Leasers will also contribute to the output, in suring a high grade milling output.
 The camp is fast assuming lively appearance, new families moving in and new leasers taking over blocks of ground on which shippable ore is be- ing found.

HORSE THIEVES TRAP PED BY OFFICERS IN
 DIAMOND CANYON

Backed up against the Colorado River which was too high for them to ford and with other avenues of es- cape cut off by Sheriff Mahoney's deputies, three horse thieves surrend- cred early this week to Deputies Daniels of Mohave County and Plum mer of Yavapai. #
 The men had taken about 15 horses from the Lon Harmon ranch in Yav- apai County and made for the Colo rado river expecting to escape into the Northern Strip country. They had not planned on the Colorado being SO high. ....
 Sheriff Mahoney had men stationed between Clay Springs and Milkweed and when Daniels and Hummer ran them into Diamond Canyon there was nothing for them to do but fight or surrender and so they chose the lat ter course.
 They were taken. back to Prescott to answer to the courts of that county.
