SANTA FE RAILROAD
 WILL IMPROVE LINES

Among the first great railroads of the country the Santa Fe is preparing for the good times that are sure to come within the next few years by improving the roadbed, double track ing it's lines, building heavier bridges, culverts and trestles and the purchase of rolling stock. In statement made tothe Los Angeles Times, w. B. Storey, president of the Santa Fe, is reported as saying that there will be spent for the benefit of the whole system during the year 1922 a total of $43,150,0OO as compared with $35,- 000,000 for 1921, with the prospective spending of about $60,000,0O0 yearly for the next three years. Said MT. Storey:
 "The program for capital expendi- lures by the Santa Fe for 1922, even though it is far from small, is limited primarily to items of equipment, new construction and additions and better ments considered vitally necessary to meet the immediate needs of the ter ritory which it serves," MT. Storey stated. "The prospective demands of this territory under favorable condi- tions would demand a much more ex- tensive program. Probably $60,0UO,- 900 year for the next three years ought to be spent, says the announce ment; however, such program is not possible under present conditions when financing is still expensive, cost we'll above normal, the labor situation attended with more or less doubt and the legislative situation, so far as it affects railroads, far from settled, MT. Storey stated.
 Of the 1922 expenditures, $11, ,75O,- 000 will be for tle completion of work in hand, $22,O0O,00O for new work, in cluding seventy-five miles of second track in Arizona from Yampai to Griffith, $8,000,000 for new -luip- ment and $1,4OO,0O0 for a new branch line from Satanta, Kansas, fifty five miles west. Tn the construction of the Arizona second track tl.ere will be a grade reduction from ninety five feet to seventy five feet to the mile, saving from 20 to 25 per cent in freight train mileage, amounting to S500,000 d year.
 Following are some of the larger items found in the budget: Additional main line, $6,662,29S; Satanta branch line, $1,4OO,000; bridges, trestles and culverts, $1,512,893; rails and other track materials, $1,101,86S; stations buildings, $1,041, 1850; additional yard tracks and sidings, S946,14S; shop and office buildings, $1,056,639; shop

There are many forms of reform

There are many forms of reform and uplift abroad today, but to our mind reform and uplift is not accom- plished from the outside, but from in side. The salvation of our young peo- pie depends upon our interest in their wholesome activities. Let us mingle with our young people. Let us live with them and not apart from them. Let us interest ourselves in the things in which the yare interested. Let us participate in their activities. Let us manifest our approval of their whole some sports by attending their games.
 The Athletic Association desires at this time to acknowledge receipt of a five dollar bill from an anonymous we'll wisher of the High School. To the bill was attached this note: "In appreciation of good work we'll done." The Association thanks the unknown giver for the five dollar bill. It needs the money, but of infinitely greater worth to the association, were the kindly words of appreciation that ac- companied it. We should be critical of the evil in our young people but we should be equally appreciative of the good things they are doing.

THUMB BUTTE WILL START INTENSIVE
 DEVELOPMENT WORK

Robert Malcolm is expected in King man in ten or twelve days to start operations on the Thumb Butte, num- Der one shaft to be unwatered and the property explored at the deep level. Tn enew development campaign is to be one of the most extensive ever mapped for that property.
 The Thumb Butte property is sit uated to the south of the big rhyolitic outcrop that gave the property it's name, and on the strike of the big veins that traverse the country through Secret Pass and Goldroad, as we'll as those passing northward from the Oatman section. The shaft has reached depth of 500 feet and cross cuts are to be run to the vein to pick up the faulted section. A good man. agement is to handle the property and the work is to be carried on with all possible speed.

TAX COMMISSIONERS
 VISITING K|NCMAN

Frank Luke, E. A. Hughes and C.. R. Howe, state tax commissioners of Arizona, arrived in Kingman Tuesday evening and the following morning departed to White Hills, where they looked over that big silver property with the object of arriving at fair assessment. The gentlemen have had wide experience in the assessing of mining property and have been noted for their fairness, and as conse quence have the confidence of all classes of mining investors. Of course, during the past year taxation has fallen heavily on the mines, be- cause of lack of production, but it is expected that this feature will be rectified in the next few years. The assessment of mines is based on a five-year average, and this average will be greatly reduced the next year or two on account of the low produc- tion of last year.
 The commissioners went over to Oatman yesterday and later will look over other sections of the county. They have high regard for Mohave county's potentiality in mining way, believing that within the next few years this county will be one of the greatest of the gold, silver and lead producers of the state, being at present the only real producer of gold.

OATMAN EASTERN HAS z. A LARGE ESTATE

James J. Moss, president of the Oatman Eastern Gold Mines company has been in Oatman the past week or more looking after the interests of his corporation. The company is the own CT of possibly the largest estate in the district, having more than 600 acres under one group. The mines ex- tend from the east end of the Oatman Gold to the United American, Argo and aSunnyside, carrying many of the big veins and dikes of the Tom Reed lode, several of which veins carry values. Mr. Moss has received many offers for the financing of the prop erty and it is more than probable that within sixty days things will be doing on the mines.
 The big group of claims are we'll situated in the eastern part of the big gold fiel dand only need develop ment to prove their potentiality.

 shaft the long crosscut has entered what appears to be the north east con- tinuation of the bonanza Katherine vein. The Katherine Extension is controlled by Charles N. Miller who formerly mined successfully in the Cripple Creek district. The property will probably be the third in the Katherine district to reach the state of development where a milling plant is warranted.
 The Treasure Vault vein makes into the Extension from the adjoining Treasure Vault property, which is controlled by M. B. Dudley of King man. Dudley is one of the big mine operators of Mohave County, and aside from his holdings at Katherine also has valuable holdings in the Oat- man district. Among his holdings at Oatman is the Casey Jones property which carries the strike of the rich Oatman United and United American ore bodies. Included in his holdings at Katherine are the River Range and the Shaw Group, each of which is in line for the continuation of the valuable ore bodies open to the south west in the Katherine, the Treasure Vault and the Katherine Extension mines.
 Nearby the Casey Jones estate is located the Oatman Combination prop erty, where diamond drilling opera tions were recently started to pros pect the continuation of the American and Oatman United deposits. This property is controlled by R. L. Johns, swho mined fortune from the Gold field Mining Companys estate at Gold field and by Sheriff w. P. Mahoney, formerly of Cripple Creek, and by James Curtin, State Senator of Mo- have county. At the Oatman Gold property, located in the vicinity of the Oatman Combination estate, a three-compartment shaft is being sunk to contact with the continuation of the Oatman United vein. The property is being developed under the direction of Charles F. Pugh, who was very successful leaser at Goldfield in the early days of that camp.

WILL DEVELOP COLD-
 ROAD RED TOP

Casper Taylor and Milford Calkins, of Brant, New York, are recent ar rivals in Kingman, coming here to look over the Goldroad Red Top Mines company, of which corporation Mr.. Taylor is president. Capt. Taylor was a resident of Kingman a number of years ago and is known to all the old timers. He was one of the orig inal locators of the Last Chance and Red Top properties, on the easterly st,ik,s of the great Goldroad vein. The Last Chance interest was sold to the Gold Read Mines company and is now held by that corporation.
 The Gold Road Red Top mirles are situated near the summit of the range and are believed to have great poten- tiality for ore production. The com pany is getting financed to carry on a large campaign of development, it being possible that the main drift from the 700 level of the Railroad claim of the Gold Road property, may be carried through the property and into the Red Top ground. To do this will only require the starting up of the plant on the Billy Bryan shaft and the carrying through of the drift, which will cut the easterly veins at a depth of about 1000 feet.
 The many old time friends of Capt. Taylor are hoping that he will take up his permanent residence in this coun- ty and carry on operations in his property from this end. Many Mo have county people are interested in the propert wand are anxious that de- velopment be started at once.

JAMES F. O'BRIEN
 NOW AT OATMAN

James F. O'Brien, one of the best known mining writers of the inter- mountain country, has been engaged to do some publicity work in Oatman. MT. O'Brien passed through Kingman a few days ago to his new abode and we predict for him a most successful season and for the mining camp a most interesting exposition of her mining resources. Practically every great mining camp of the west has known MT. O'Brien and has reason to bless his verile pen.

BASEBALL CAME ON
 WASH|NCTONS BIRTHDAY

On Monday Feb. 13, Lincoln Pro- gram was given in the various De- partments of the Kingman Schools. The Motif for the Drawing and Art Departments was a Study of Lincoln in pen and pencil sketches. The music for the week was also of such nature as honored the memory of this great American. The schools are endeavor- ing through these programs, to ac- quaint each student intimately with the characteristics, lives, ideals and principals of our great Americans.
 On Wednesday, Feb. 22, Washing tons Birthday, the baseball team of Mohave County Union High School plays its first game of the season with the Needles High School team. Those of our readers, who were fortunate enough to attend the basket ball games played by these High School boys do not need to be reminded of their splendid sportsmanship and the bran of ball they play. The High School Athletic Association by the most careful and skilful financing, has come through the season wit ha deficit of about $65.00. The basket ball games, despite the fact that Kingman played championship ball all through the season, were not patronized as wholesome athletic sports should be patronized. The Association hopes to clear up this deficit on Washington's Birthday.

Betterment Of Exchange Situation
Brouoht a General Recovery

London. July 11.-A greater degree
of confidence prevailed throughout the
city today and the stock exchange mar
kets recovered. The improvement was
due to bettterment in the foreign ex-
change situation. Gilt edge issues were
firmer on buying for investment ac-
count. French loans, also were harder
on more optimistic advices from Paris.
The feeling in the oil group was
brighter, and advances were recorded.
Royal Dutch was 36h, Shell Transport

higher in the main. Hudson's Bay was

the crude article. Repurchases caused
a rally in home rails.
The settlement disclosed a shortage of
stocks. Dollar descriptions were unin-
teresting around previous levels. Profit
taking made Argentine rails fiabby. Less
pessimistic advices from the Continent
brought about steadier tone in kaffirs.
