Former Governors
Summer Home Sold

The summer home of Ex-Governor
Carl E. Milliken at Ocean Park, which
may be readily recalled as the sum-
mer executive mansion when occu-
pied by the former State high eXecu-
tive has just been sold to the New
England Baptist conference and will
be used in connection with the sum-
mer conference work. Mrs. Harriet
Milliken Bryant of this city was the
owner of this fine place and Governor
Milliken and his family have occupied
it at times.
The Milliken house. as it is known,
will contain a large dining room, the
new administration headquarters,
book shop and an ice cream shop.
The house, as changed by repairs,
will accommodate $50 in the new din
ing-room basement and the sleeping
room accommodations on the two up
per floors will be generous.

What good will a modern road do
me il it don't come to my placer"
Here is q question which inevitably
comes from the farmer on the side
road when he is asked to support a
movement for permanent construc-
ton on the main highways in his
county. The farmer has an I'M
doubted right to ask this question,
since he is part of the county,
citizenship. He has an undoupted
right to an answer which really an
swers his question because, under our
system of taxation, he will be re-
uuired to pay proportionately on the
same basis as the man whose farm
faces the road to be improved.
At first glance this would appear
an unequal taxation since the road
on which the money is to be spent
does not run by his place. But this
is an apparent injustice only. 1t is
not real Our system of taxation has
been worked out, so far as we have
gone, along lines of equal JUSTICE to
all. 1t is only in the misapplication
of funds raised by fair taxation that
unfairness apparently begins in this
matter of road improvement.
The fact should be kept in mind
that roads are not improved to in
crease land values. Roads are i'm
proved primarily to lessen difficulties
in hauling farm products to market,
to save time and wear on teams and
harness or automobiles, and to avoid
further expense in road repairs. Too
often the idea prevails with the man
on the side road that because the
proposed road will not run by his
place he will have no opportunity of
sharing in the increased farm land
values. This idea that the only way
to get returns for money spent on
modern roads is through increased
land values is erroneous. True, the
permanent removal of difficulties in
reaching market makes a farm worth
more, not because it can produce
more, but because what it does pro-
duce can be marketed quicker and
with a greater degree of ease and
certainty regardless Of weather con-
ditions. The marketing difficulties in
the way of the farmer on the side
road are removed as surely for him
the moment he strikes the main road
as they are for the farmer whose
land fronts on the main road. He
must necessarily connect at some
point on the way to town, and from
the point where he does connect he
shares equally with his neighbors in
the advantages gained in being able
to travel back and forth with greater
speed and easier pull on his teams or
motor truck.
If the man on the side road will
stop to consider, as he should, that a
modern road, even though he may
have to drive a mile or so to reach it.,
makes money for him in the time it
saves, that the lessened strain on his
teams or motor trucks and conse-
quent reduction of loss by breakage
or reduced gasoline and tire expense
will more than repay the slight tax
per acre which he will pay as his
approximate share of the cost of the
new road system, he will not be SO
deeply concerned whether his land
has been increased in value or not.
He will see that he has decreased his
hauling expense to an extent that

RECEIVERS CLAIMS IN SCHUYlkILL CASE NOT
 ALLOWED BY COURT

Judge J. J. Sweeney, of Yavapai county, held a session of the superior court in Kingman Monday last, talk ing up the matter of c. N. Mclean, as receiver, against Schuylkill Mining company, in which he asked for re- ceivership fees in the sum of $5,000. Mr. Mclean had been appointed re- ceiver for the Schuyllill mine by Judge Crosby of Navajo county, in the trial of the suit of Frank A. Gar butt against the corporation and F. A. Burke, Judge Crosby deciding against the interest of Garbutt. Be- fore Mclean could enter upon his dut- ies an appeal from the Crosby decision was taken, but before the hearing the Burke-Cole interests effected a settle ment with Garbutt and so Mclean never took any action in the matter of the receivership. At the hearing of the case Monday Cole interests sub mitted receipts of money by Mclean and the court ruled that he was amply paid for his services and dismissed the action. Counsel for Mclean was J. E. Morrison and the Schuylkill in- terests were represented by c. w. Herndon.

RAPID PROGRESS
 ON KATHERINE EXT.

Rapid progress is being made by Brethour and Sherman on their con- tract on the Katherine Extension ground, in the Union Pass section. The shaft has reached depth of 45 feet and the large head frame has been put up and will be in commits sion the first of the week. The plant of machinery is in place and will be in use right away.
 The Katherine Extension is rightly named, being the eastern extension of the parent vein of the district. Surveys have been run out from the developed ore body of the Katherine and the shaft spotted according to the plating of the surveyor, which shows that the easterly strike of the big vein is almost centered in the Exten- sion property. As locations adjacent to proven territory have been remark ably successful there is reason to be- lieve that extensions of the parent vein of the Katherine section will also prove up wonderfully well. Take any of the Goldfields, Tonopahs, Cripple Creeks and Comstocks and you will find that contiguous claims have al- ways proven worth while. Some of them being far more potential than the original veins. The United East ern is an extension of the Tom Reed vein system and it's production has exceeded the parent property by hum dreds of thousands of dollars in the few years that it has been in produc- tion. It is understood that the drifts on the 200 level of the Katherine has reached out toward the Katherine Ex- tension ground to such an extent and in such excellent vein material that the management of the Extension feels confident that a wonderful property will be brought in.

OF THE DAI- SELL AND GOLDEN STAR
 IS BEING MADE

R. s. Billings, who is now with the Dudley interests, is engaged in mak- ing a thorough examination of the Daisell and Golden Star mines at Ger bat and Mineral Park. It is the in- tention to give them a real examina- tion so that the owners may know just the condition of the properties prior to again placing them in com mission. The Daisell has an impor- tant fault above the 300 that has to be worked out and if the continua- tion of the vein is found below that level there is reason to believe that an important shipper will be opened. The ore is excellent, carrying high values in gold, silver and lead.
 On the Golden Star the perpendicu- lar shaft is close to the ore body and it is the intention when further work is done on this property, to drive this downward to a connection with the old Star and the Blue Boy veins, where they come together on their dip. The ore found in the old works was quite rich, although the old operators had extracted all the high grade that could be conveniently reached by them. When Mir. Billings gets through with his survey and plating of the mine the operators will have little trouble in going on successfully with the work. .-.-

WHITE HILLS EXTENSION
 NEWLY ORGANIZED GO,

The publication of the articles of incorporation of the White Hills Ex- tension Mining company appears in this issue of the Miner. The com pany is the owner of 25 full mining claims adjoining the old White Hills property and have among its posses sions some of the most important min es of the district. The president of the new company is James A. Moss. Judge B. B. Armour is the secretary. The company is incorporated under tbe laws of the state of Delaware for 100000 shares of one dollar par.
 The White Hills country has always been noted for it's high grade silvers and the property acquired by the new corporation has some of the high grade veins of the camp. These claims are to be developed at once, large equipment to be secured during the next sixty days and mining man of experience placed in charge of the work of bringing the mines into pro- duction. We believe there is great opportunity for the bringing in of a winner in this camp and that the man. agement of the property has some- thing more than prospects to begin development on.

were being made to determine the pro- cess best adapted for handling the mine product efficiently and econom- ically. At that time it was found that most of the silver-bromide values were being lost. Eventually, how ever, the proper reclamation process was worked out, and the necessary equipment is now being installed.
 The ore reduction plant is located about two miles from the mine and is to be connected herewith by an aerial tram. The equipment consists of 50-ton ball mill, pneumatic flo- tation, rougher, cleaner, pilot table and settling cones. On leaving the cones the concentrates are dried on plates. An Oliver filter is to be added to accelerate the drying process. Nitre-cake is used for sulphidizing the ore. Three pounds of nitre- cake in a saturated solution, recently for mulated, treats one ton of dry ore. The mill will be used as at present equipped until such time as the chlo- ride ore is exhausted and will then be remodeled to meet the reduction de- mands of the ore mined in the sul- phide zone.
