NEW STATE HIGHWAY
 , P|CA TO NELSON OPEN

. Wednesday last Anson H. Smith re- ceived the following wire from As sistant State Engineer T. s. O'Connel:
 "New state highway Plea to Nelson now open. Divert traffic."
 This highway cuts out the almost impossible road between Nelson and Plea, through what is known as Nell son Canyon. The new road is on the north side of the Santa Fe railroad through the Wallapai Indian reserva- tion, and has been built by the state. It will now be used largely by the tourist who has had to put up with the heartbreaking road from the plains west of Plea to the Mohave county road west of Nelson. It is expected that the road will be carried to 8 connection with the MohaveF county road at Peach Springs, which would make decided cutoff over the old roads.

CREW OF MEN PUT
 TO OWORkON NEVADA
 KATHERINE PROPERTY

A crew has been engaged to begin
 development work on the Nevada Katherine group of mines lying along the west bank of the Colorado river, to the west of Katherine. The group was formerly known as the Home-
 stake group, but the real veins were not touched by the former owners, no prospecting having been done to as- certain the potentiality of the larger veins. Since passing into the hands of Messrs. Shaw, Cash,nan, Cushman and Chafey large amount of pros- pect work has been done on the claims and as result a number of places have been found where ourcrops show big gold values. Assays taken from a 16 inch streak gave results of IA ounces gold, while many lower assays, but of milling grade have been taken from big streak of ore in the larger vein of the group. This vein is be- lieved to be a continuation of the Katherine, having the same general direction and the peculiar quartz car- ried by the Mother Lode. This vein is large and can be seen from the the Arizona side of the river. MT. Chafey, who is to have charge of de- velopment, saw this vein when look ing over the Katherine territory, but later when he wanted to visit it he had to take an automobile trip by way of Needles, 72 miles from Kingman, and then about 60 miles up the river to the mines. But now the mines are connected with the Arizona side of the field by motor boat and the trip can be made in twenty minutes, which is bringing the mines quite close to home.
 The management of the mines has been delegated to Mir. Chafey, who came to this county in the interest of w. J. Loring. As the Loring work was surface prospecting and the weather being too torrid to allow of trenching and surface cutting being carried on without discomfort, MT. Chafey has concluded to put on a de- yelopment campaign on the Neveda- Katherine group for the present and see what can be brought forth.

GEORGE CRANTHAM STEPS
 UP TO COAST LEAGUE

George Grantham has taken anothe, step upwards in the realm of baseball He is now playing in the coast league with the Portland team.
 The next step will no doubt be to the big league, probably with De- troit, who holds Georges contract.
 Last year Grantham got by with the northwest league and when this season started he stepped away from the gang up there by hitting better than any man in the league. His fielding was also good and they put him in the infield at short. V ,.H
 He is playing second for Portland and as soon as he gets his bearings in his new surroundings we expect to see him smashing out the pill again the same as he did in the league which he just left. ,.- .r...
 Grantham is temporarily out of the game with a broken finger and is now being used as a pinch hitter by the Portland Club. Yesterday he added one more hit to his record in the, Coast League, making him 6 hits out of IA times up and giving him . bat ting average of 429.

MOSSBACK TO FUR- :. " THEIR EQUIP AND
 DEVELOP PROPERTY

The Arizona Mossback mining com pany has secured about $105,OO0 that has been secured by bond issue, the money, we understand, being used to further equip the big mine and to ex- tend the scope of development. The Mossback will soon have electric equipment, if we are to judge by the campaign of development that has been mapped out. Owing to the heavy volume of water encountered on the 700 level it was thought best not to do extensive lateral development until big station pump had been in stalled capable of taking care of any emergency. a
 The men in charge of the Mossback financing are among the big business men of the east, and these men have been getting matters in shape for the erection of large milling plant, the further equipment of the mine and the sinking of the main shaft to new level and the opening of big work ing shaft to the surface where ores could be delivered to the mill at low costs. The equipping of this mine and the installing of milling plant means much to the country surround ing the Mossback mines and this com munity expect a large production of gold to be added to the gold output of the county from this source.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1921-07-15

coming year it is the expectation that
 Mohave county will be running a close
 race with California and Colorado in
 gold production in 1922. The mines
 to make this high production are prac-
 tically developed to the stage when
 large mills must be installed to care
 for the output, and these mines are
 capable of and sure to run production far into the millions of dollars. These properties are the Katherine, the
 Mossback, the Goldroad, the Gold Ore, White Hills, and the many smaller mines. In the development stage is also the Moss, Gold Dust, United American, Katherine Extension, Gold Chain and Roadside. A few of the small mines of Oatman and the other camps could be made to produce was there mills capable of handling the ores from the small mines that have to produce ore that will run above $20 in gold. The larger mills do not care to handle this class of ore because it may disorganize the system in vogue at the plants. If mill is being run on $10 ore and a small of higher grade is introduc- ed, we take it, approximately high er solution will have to be used to care for the excess values, and also the mill ores of the mines in the Oat- man field are neutral, while the other pres may be otherwise. Nevertheless,
 it will be but a short time until this if condition there is, will De obviated bu such milling facilities hat all ores will be handled.

NEW SHAFT OF UNITED
 EASTERN DOWN 2OOFT

The new shaft on the end property
 of the United Eastern Is now down 200 feet and is going downward as fast as men and machines can do the work. This work is now in the hands of contractors and they are getting big results. It is purposed to sink to the 800 level before lateral work is carried off to the vein that is be- lieved to pass through the property. This shaft is west of the shaft of the Red Cloud and it is expected that the vein picked up in the crosscut from the bottom of the 650 level of this property will be cut in the Eastern work. The Red Cloud shaft was car ried down to the present level with the expectation of picking up the United Eastern ore shoot and it is probable that this shoot will be pick ed up if the shaft is carried POO feet deeper. At the same time it is more than probable that a new ore shoot may be found in the territory west of the Red Cloud and that later the United Western may be induced to, again take up development of their property. This territory appears to us as the best undeveloped section of Oatman and the work now under way should either prove or disprove the theory held. by many mining men re- garding the extent of the ore shoots along the Mother Lode.

EXTENSION
 TO START CROSSCUT

The shaft of the Katherine Exten-
 sion company is now down PA feet cotemporaneous with the 200 level of the Katherine, at which point sta tion is being cut preparatory to driv- ing a crosscut to the south into and through the big vein. The bottom of the shaft is now in vein material and it is not thought that the distance to the vein will be great.
 Good time was made in the sink ing of this shaft, the work being in the hands of Sherman and Brethour, the original owners of the group. As soon as the crosscut has been driven to the footwall the company operat- ing the property will carry develop ment both ways on the vein to as- certain the location of the ore shoots. Should the same grade of ore be opened in the Extension that has been developed in the Katherine the dis trict will take on an expansion that else could bring it, as the ex- tent of the big Katherine vein will be proved far toward the east. At the same time it will give to the out lying mines greater value and create incentive for the development of a great mass of veins abutting on the Mother Lode of the camp.

INCREASED EFFI- C|ENCY FOR THE
 NEW COD. MILL
By William P. De Wolf.

Increased efficiency is the dominat.
 ing factor of the comprehensive devel- opment campaign just inaugurated by
 the Dudley Interests at the c. o. D. mine in the Cerbat range. Once it is in full swing the already generous output of mine and mill will be ex- banded at least fifty per cent and the property will be firmly established as the largest silver-producer in Mohavs county. The new work is being push- ed as rapidly as is compatible with what is termed "good mining, and is under the personal supervision of R. s. Billings, consulting engineer fot the extensive interests owned by Morris B. Dudley and his associates in this county.
 A double-compartment vertical shaft is being sunk 300 feet north of the small incline shaft which is now used for development and ore-hoisting purposes. The new shaft will cut the rich c. O. D. Assure, on its dip, at an approximate depth of 800 feet. There 04SCI SllC lAACiluS cIloAt VIII Uc 6U0uu~ oned and development work in it's en- tierty be prosecuted by medium of the new shaft. At and below depth of 400 feet levels will be established in the new shaft, and crosscuts and drifts be driven in the ore. The powerful, electrically-driven hoisting and com- pressor plants at present in service at the incline shaft will be utilized for this purpose. Concurrently with the sinking of the new shaft additional is arriving from Denver for the c. o. D. mill.
 At this time the mill is handling 100 tons of ore day and is turning ,ut about $40,000 worth of concen- rates month. With the additional lnits in operation its reduction capa- .ity will be increased to 150 tons of ,re day and it's output of concen- rates be increased to approximately ;60,000 worth month. The new

WILDCATS TO MEET FAST W|NSLOW TEAM
 SUNDAY AFTERNOON

When the aggregation wearing the Wildcat uniforms lined up against Williams last Sunday, there were but three men on the team playing their regular positions. They were O'Con- nors, Norville and McMillan. Hook Smith was on first, Stan George pitching and Baldes was behind the bat.
 Owing to the fact that several of the regular players did not make the trip to Williams, the boys felt little shaky about their chances, but before the game had gone very far they found that their team was just as good as the opposing team of Will Hams. George pitched good game and with better support would have had the game grabbed. As it was they had the game up until the ninth inning when Williams slipped over two runs ending the argument with an s to z score.
 Baldes caught a great game and McMillan starred in center field, Spearing some almost impossible shots.
 Sunday the Wildcats line up against Winslow, the team that kept them from glomming the Flagstaff series on the Fourth. Manager Dudley and Captain Smith both contend that Winslow hasn't the best team and the Wildcats in full force next Sunday will endeavor to prove 1t.
 Either McGowan or Hook Smith will go into the box for the Wildcats. If McGowan's arm is not right yet, 1t will be Smith. Either Grace or an- ether lad who landed in town We'd nesday night by the name of Thomp- son, will receive. Thompson, who is from the coast looked like the real thing in last nights practice.
 Sundays game should prove to be the best one we have had here so far this year and big crowd is expected.
 Following is the box score for last Sundays game:

AMERICAN LEC- ION FILES: FIRE
 DEPT.PET|T|0N

With their usual progressive spirit
 the members of Swaskegame Post No.
 IA American Legion, have practically assured to Kingman a fire company. Petitions were circulated by the mem- bers of the post and numerously signed, sufficient signatures being ob- tained to assure the calling of an cleo tina to establish fire zones and the creation of a fire company under the xrizAna law. The petitions were filed last Monday with the board of super visors and an election will soon be called ..".,,"-
 Kingman has been sadly in need of . fire department with proper equip nent and we feel sure that the people will now back up the legionaires in their good work for fire protection.
 Many buildings have been destroyed h the town that might have been saved had there been necessary fire fighting apparatus and hydrants plac- cd at street corners and in the middle sf the blocks. There is sufficient pressure on the mains to insure good fire service, but the town lacks hose, cart, hooks, ladders and other essen tial equipment. An election will pro vide the method for the securing of this equipment and the town will be safeguarded against devastating fire, such as recently came to Oatman.
 With proper fire protection insur- ance rates will fall materially, allow ing of the carrying of fire protection by every part of the town. At the present time the frame structures in certain sections of Kingman are un- protected on account of this prohibi- five rate of fire insurance, the under writers refusing to take a chance where there is no possibility of the saving of structures that have no fire protection whatever. This condition will soon be obviated, we believe and the whole town will be benefited there, by.

CROSSSUT ON 700
 LEVEL OF THE AZTEC
 SHOWS UP WELL

Kean St. Charles accompanied Char les D. Ridgeway to Oatman this week for the purpose of sizing up that great
 gold camp. They report that the drift on the 700 level of the Aztec is now 160 feet in ore, the crosscut showing nine feet of $15 rock. The distance between this shoot and the ore shoot of the Big Jim is estimated to be about 800 feet, and it is prob- able that this ore shoot is a continual tion of that ore body. The company is also driving through the Sideline vein and getting a large amount of ore. This ore is of high grade and there appears to be a large tonnage of it. The Tom Reed is now putting in stopes on this ore.

LONDON, March 23.A representa-

he will establish connections with the
Soviet government as provided under
the trade agreement. The assistants
of Leonid Krassin. the Russian Soviet
representative who negotiated the
agreement, are working overtime ar-
ranging contracts for disposing Of
British goods, several shiploads Of
which will be delivered before May. /.
Premier Lloyd George won an easy
victory yesterday in the House of
Commons at his first attempt to con-
vert it to the wisdom Of trading with
Russia. The Premier's statement that
Lenine and Trotzky had abandoned
their Bolshevik theories and now were
ready to deal with capitalistic coun-
tries according to the latter's terms
and methods is accepted with a grain
of salt, but the big fact at the moment
is that Britain is going to do her best
TO establish strong commercial rela-
tions with Russia.
Perhaps the most important factor
in influencing the British governments
policy toward Russia is. the question
of Bolshevik propaganda in the Far
East, India, Siberia and Afghanistan.
The relations between London and
Moscow will react on affairs in Pekin.
