w. F. GROUNDS, SIR.
 VISITING KINGMAN

w. F Grounds, ST., one of the ear Hest settlers of Mohave County, was a Kingman visitor Tuesday last. He had visited with his son in Colorado during the winter months, but the final days were too cold and raw for him, so he started for his home in Fresno, California. Wednesday he went over to Oatman to give that camp the o. O. and look over some of his old time stamping grounds. MT. Grounds was one of the first locators of mining claims in the Mineral Park basin, going in there from Texas in the early seventies. He brought with him from the Lone Star state a big herd of cattle and placed them on the old Milkweed ranch, on what is now the Wallapai Indian reservation, but the Indians were bad and he and as sociates lost heavily.
 In the operation of the Lone Star mine at Mineral Park he shipped many tens of the richest ore ever taken from a Mohave county mine.

A SCIENCE IN ITSELF

Repairing tires is a science in it. self-and one that certainly cannot be mastered overnight.
 One has to study, and investigate and practice to become an expert in tire repairing, just as one must study and investigate and practice to be- come competent physician or sur geon. And too, like the skilled phy- sicion or surgeon, the skilled tire re- pairman must keep himself posted on what's going on in the world of his chosen profession-he must know about constantly changing and advanc- ing methods-he must be able to dis criminate between the good and bad ways of doing things.
 Our long experience and ability IS strongly reflected in the consistently good work we turn out-and the fact that we use Dayton Repair Materials is simply another indication of what we believe is our good judgment, bas' ed on experience.
 May we serve you the next time your tires need repairing? We ear nestly believe we can please you that's what we're in business for. BLACK & ELLIS Auto Service Station
