The mines are still in the hands

The mines are still in the hands of the company, which is composed of some of the best men in the county. Theodor Meals is the president, Orc G. Grunninger, vice president; Charles s. Seeley, secretary and treasurer; F. S. Swensen, general manager These men, with l.. L. Wallace, the well known attorney of Kingman, form the directorate.
 F. E. Young, mining engineer of ability and repute, after an exhaustive examination of the Meals property made the following report, which gives the reader a comprehensive insight in to it's potentialities:
 The property of the Meals Mining and Milling Company consists of six lode claims, five of which (the Rincon, Jupiter, w. R. Hearst, Hot Times and Yellow Spar) are located in continu- ous line with the general direction north by west, total length of 6,63S feet, and the Comet, with the same direction, which adjoins the w. R. Hearst and Jupiter claims on their east sidline.
 The property is situated in a north ern portion of the Oatman district, about one-half mile in northerly and westerly direction from the old Moss mine. It occupies slope of the foot hills which run parallel to great fault scarp having a general direction of north 20 degrees west. The property is located on the Great North 20 de- grees West Fracture Zone which tra- verses the Ruth and Moss mines, con- tinuing on to Silver Creek on the south and extending through the Tan go property and on into the lower country to the north, where it is hid den by the detritus accumulated on the surface.
 The Oatman district occupies an enormous area covered deeply by sue cessive flows of volcanic lavas, the principal form of which is andesite; a porous porphyritic rock rather low in silicia and containing crystals or sol  uable feldspar, thus lending itself readily to alteration by thermal wat CTS.
 These flows have been extensively fractured through the agency of tor sional stress and shearing, caused by the contraction of the earth's crust in the process of cooling, resulting in enormous thrust faults or vertical up- lifts, which form the mountain ranges and allowed the formation of great Assures, some of which were filled by later eruptives in form of dikes, while others by chemical reaction of mineral bearing thermal waters were altered from brecciated andesite to veins of quartz and calcite carrying small values in gold.
 A further replacement of the calcite to quartz with large increase in gold contents is evident at more recent period and at depth of several hund- red feet below the present surface

DISCOVER CURE
FOR DIABETES?
DR.. John Murlin, Rochester, N. Y,
Believes lie Has Remedy for
Dread Disease.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. IA dis
covery that is believed to pave the
way to a cure of diabetes is an
nunced by DR.. John R. Murlin, d.
rector of department Of vital eco
nomics at the University of Roch-
ester.
The discovery was described by
DR.. Murlin before the Rochester
Medical society last night as fol-
lows:
I'VE claim the credit for having
proved first that pancreatic extract
can restore the lost power to oxi-
die sugar to animals rendered dia-
bette by removal of pancreas. This
we have confirmed many times the
last summer and this we maintain
is the crux Of the whole problem
The best method of preparation for
administration to human cases
probably has not yet been provid-
ed. We may find way to give it
by mouth as thyroid extract is
given and then the terror of dia-
betes will have disappeared.
Zone of the major causes of
death will have been completely
removed"
DR.. Murlin acknowledged the as
sistance Of four other physicians in
his investigations.

IN PRICES Of
WHEAT FORCED
(By the Consolidated Press

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Despite the
late rally in wheat prices Friday
Just before the close oyer the
Armistice day holiday 1T looked to
the experienced eye as if the riss
had been forced to boost the weak
ening morale Of some Of the smaller
longs. Grain exchanges were
closed Saturday all over the United
States.
Conservative longs had been go
ing out of their holdings on every
bulge this week and although they
look for a setback they still have
the brllish fever too strong to
make short sales.
As the technical position Of the
market now stands there is slight
reduction in the long interest but
no short interest to speak of. Red
wheat premiums keep climbing
higher owing to milling demand
but pressure is expected to in
crease on hard wheat because of in
creased receipts expected in the
southwest. Northwest farmers are
anxious to sell their wheat to make
payments on seed loans now due.
South America seems to have cap
tured the export trade judging by
light sales reported recently.
Corn is in an overbOught cOndi-
ton and some of the corn was
bought around the highest prices
on the crop by persons said not to
be fortified to Withstand any pres
sure, if a break of a few cents
should occur. Bears seemed i'm
bued with more confidence at the
close Friday.
Cash corn should feel the effect
of heavy receipts on Monday.
One local house is doing a little
more export business in corn but
other shippers say Argentina is IN
derselling domestic exporters by
too wide a margin.

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago. Nov. f1.-Uneasiness at
times in regard to war danger at
the Dardanelles has tended to make
wheat average somewhat higher in
price this week. Compared with a
week ago, net changes in the wheat
market vary from l2c decline to 1c
gain, with corn up Nc to Ia @1ssc;
oats ranging from Nc decline to
NC advance, and, provisions show
ing a rise of 25 to 45c.
Wheat traders kept sharp watch
on aggressive actions by the Turks
and on consequent disquieting re-
ports of a possibility that Europe
might again be involved in mill
tary struggle On a large scale. In
creased purchasing power which at
one stage quickly developed in the
wheat market appeared to come
mainly from houses with eastern
connections and was responsible
for lifting the May delivery of
for the season. Subsequent gossip,
however, that grain bought for
Italy and Germany had been can
celled led to something of reac-
ton in sympathy.
Prospective keener competition
between Canada and Argentina was
deemed of considerable importance
as a handicap on holders of do
nestle wheat and in this connection
it was said Argentina had sold
wheat TO Italy at below prices
quoted both IL Canada and the
United States. A notably hearish
showing which the government
crop report made as to corn did a
good deal also to check upturns in
the wheat market during the last
half of the week.
Government estimates of the 1929
corn crop were almost 100000 DOC
bushels in excess of what had been
generally looked for No continued
aggressive selling of corn, how
ever, took place. and the market
for corn and oats held relatively
! firm.
Packers buying facilitated an up
turn Of provision values.

Rail Plea to Decrease Rates
East of Rockies.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Applica-
tons of transcontinental railroads
for authority to decrease rates to
and from Pacific coast terminals on
traffic originating east of the
Rocky Mountains or destined there
for, were denied today by the in
terstate commerce commission.
The roads had declared the re-
duction was necessary to enable
them to meet coast to coast compe-
tition of steamship lines. Grant
ing of their application, which was
challenged by a number of inter-
mountain cities, would have result
ed in making transcontinental
rates generally lower than those
on traffic to and from intermediate
points.
Practically all commodities in
cluded in the commerce from the
Pacific coast were covered in the
railroads application.

While the family Of Martin Cava-

church early last evening, prowling
thieves ransacked the home and
stole clothing and jewelry valued
at nearly $1,000.
Entrance was gained through q
window, several windows having
been habitually left unlocked in the
one-story cottage, and the providers
apparently made their escape
through the back door. Among ar

Mrs. Cavanaugh and her daugh-
ter left the house and went to Sa-
cred Heart church at 7:15 O'Clock
and returned at 9:15. Mr.. Cav
anaugh and his two sons arrived
home later.
When the ladies' entered the
house they found the back door
standing open, but th0dghh it had
been left Unmatched and had blown
open. By chance they did not en-
ter a small hallway or two bed
rooms opening of Of it until more
than an. hour later. When they
did. however, they found a state of
havoc.
Various articles of clothing
strewed the floors and dressers
and chests were open and their
less valuable contents were thrown
about. A hasty inventory disclosed
article after article of the choicer
portions of their wardrobes miss
ing. Police we're notified and OF.

Near East Relief Not to Sta u City.
Wide Campaign-Appeals Made

There will be no formal drive

An appeal will be made to

opportunity given to contributors
to assist the fund voluntarily. The
