Marshal Tabor was telephoned
from the Rocky Mountain Oil
company's office this morning to
the effect that crazy man was
roaming over the prairie. The
officers went out and brought him

On the way here he constantly
kept talking through the key hole
of the car door This led to the
first suspicion He evidently left
last night and got lost on the
prairie.
He claims to have half brother
named Robert Emilton in Lead
vile and another one in Pennsyl-
vania. By trade he is a coal miner
and he imagines that he has set
of mining tools here and thinks
that he will go to work tomorrow
He shows no signs of being
lusher, but this morning asked for
glass of beer, stating that the
last he had was yesterday morn

He is man about 40 years of
age, gray mustache and about FIVE

them returned to him. He also

100 to 200 barrels of oil per day,

parties has for its objective point the
base of Mount Mckinley the highest
mountain in North America, and which
so far a, any record shows, has never

The party will explore the northern
part of the Alaskan range, making such

as is possible, aud so mapping the
country that future expeditions will
find broken trail. 1t will be under

The strike at the Congress mine is
no nearer settlement than it was a
month ago. The company is putting
in peon labor and the old workmen are
walking the streets. Many of the men
have large families depending on them
and it will be but a short time until
they will be in hard straits. We
believe in labor organization and es-
pecially when the laborers are being
worked hard and for small pay. At
the Congress the men we're well paid,
well treated and comfortably situated
Better than the union scale of wages
were raid and the men we're more than
foolish to go on strike. While they
may win out in year or two they have
established no better rating than they
had before and have accomp plished
practically nothing. The men who
drive meu to strike are not the workers.
They have ever been agitators and
EN- broilers, always and ever getting
men into trouble and leaving them to
their fate. We believe the conserya-
tive men of the camp should get to-
gether and arbitrate the matter be-
tween employer and employe. Con-
cessions can be made on both sides
and the matter adjusted.

We make the following quotation
from the MINER of date February 3
1883, which paper was then published
in the town of Mineral Park by Ansou
II. Smith Il Company, to show the con.
sistent course of this paper in the
twenty years of its existence:
"Now that the Atlantic aud Pacific
railroad is laying track in Mohave
county, it behooves our county officials
to take decided stand in the matter
of assessing the property of tha, cor.
poration and collecting taxes thereon.
1t is generally understood that the
Company will refuse to pay any taxes
in this Territory under any considera
tion claiming that a Territory
has no right to tax them. II
this is correct and the county
has to compel this railroad company
to pay their taxes, and the sooner suit
is. commenced against them and the

ty and the railroad. Financially we
think Mohave county is in as good
condition as any in the Territory to
fight great railroad corporation, or
the expense might be borne equally by
the counties interested. The matter
should be determined at once aud il
Mohave county is not to collect any
taxes from this railroad, we cannot
find it out too soon"
Following the advice of this paper
the supervisors of that time prepared
listment of property of the company
in accordance with the advice of Hon.
Clark Churchill, following this by a
levy within the law 1t was on this
levy that suit was brought against the
railroad company by which the com.
promise was effected that brought in

this corporation. Harris Baldwin
Judge J. NJ Murphy, Clark Churchill
and Judge w. g. Blakely were the
attorneys In the case. The suit was
won in tho lower court, Judge James

this district. The case was appealed
to the supreme court of the territory
but before trial the company offered
to compromise, which offer was accept

The howl that has been raised among
certain papers of the territory in the
matter of the fees of the secretary of
the territory is quite amusing in the
light of certain facts. Kean st. Charles,
who was popo-democratic assembly
man in the last legislature, was one
of the men who gave to the office Of
the secretary an extra clerk at a salary
of 1898 per year and other emolu-
ments. This Faker is now telling the
people that the secretary is getting
away with too much money and when
he again goes to the legislature he will
have it in his mind to cut him down.
The Faker does not tell them that he
was the originator of the high salary
and that he put in all his leg pulling
for the measure. Just look up the
journal of the House, dear people, if
you would get at the record of this
