VaIuabla Copper-GoId Claims,

Some magnificent specimens of cop per ore are on exhibition at Johnson X Bowles' from some locations in the Copper Mountains in the southeastern part of Yuma county. The specimens are taken from group of claims known as the .Balsz mining group. The owners of the property are Joe Balsz, Johnson & Bowles and R. A. McPher- son. all of Yuma. Some work has been done on these claims and the present owners will do considerable more. The prospects for this property are said to be fine. The ore shows large per cent in copper and good values in gold. The ledge is we'll defined and shows an extensive body of ore. Some other To- cations in the same district show up very extensive. From all indications future developments will make of this one of the largest mining camps in the southwest. It is the purpose of the owners to organize strong company with ample working capital to develop these properties. Considerable inter- est has been aroused in the prospects by the fine exhibit of specimens. and considerable enthusiasm is manifcsted.

Wiley Knox Dies of Pneumonia,

 The remains, accompanied by Mr. G.. F. Caylor, cousin of the deceased, were expressed. to White Wright, Texas, the home of Mir. Knox's parents. Being a member of the Eagles, the To- cal lodge provided a physician and nurse during Mir. Knox's illness, and administered the last sad rites, accom- panying the remains to the depot.
 Mr. Knox being rather quiet and reserved in disposition, his acquaint- ance here was not extensive, but those who knew him were his friends, and sincerely regret his death. He was a Texan by birth, and about 30 years of aua

 The Yuma Dam.
 ''The dam near Yuma will not be finished for another year in all proba- bility," said Mir. Newell. "The dam is one mile long, with two canals, one opening into Arizona, the other into California. About 100000 acres will be reclaimed. The work is progress ing satisfactorily. Date palms are be- ing planted along the river on both sides. The land to be reclaimed will be suited for cotton, alfalfa, Egyptian corn, oranges, lemons, grape fruit and olives. The conditions are similar to those along the Nile.
 Smother project we'll under way is the Roosevelt dam on Salt river, sev- enty-6ve miles above Phoenix, repre- senting an expenditure of about s4 ,OOO,- 900. Over 100000 acres will be re- claimed. A road from Phoenix to Roosevelt has just been completed, forty-three miles of the road being mountainous. It will be three or four years before the works at Roosevelt have been completed. The works are comparable to the Egyptian pyramids.
 Tn each state or territory the work is either outlined or about third tin- ished. Some of the more western pro-
 ects are the Klamath for Oregon and California; Truckee-Carson. Straw berry, in Nevada and Utah; Gunnison tunnel in Colorado and Rio Grande in New Mexico"

"Dr." Lieber Arrested at Phoenix.

Two weeks ago the Sentinel noted the presence here of q certain Dr., I.ieber who claimed to be a noted op- tician from San Francisco,' and advis- ed the public to patronize the resident optician. At that time there was no evidence at hand that Lieber was other than was what he claimed, but his subsequent operations in Phoe- nix and later knowledge of his record here prove him to be grafter, pure aud simple. He was arrested at the capital as he was about to take train out of the city, and was held on the charge of 'practicing without li- cense." This is not all he was guilty of, however, though probably the only thing through which the law could reach him. According to the Repub- lican there were three of the Liebers operating in Phoenix, but only one was arrested; the others got away. They gave that community such a dS lO 1dS uOU JdO IOl SOluc time, in the way of selling cheap spec tacles at extremely high prices. They did some skinning here, also-doubt- less ;pore than will become generally known, as few people care to acknowl- edge they have been ''played for suck ers." In one case in this valley these "n0ted opticians" sold q pair of glasses to an old lady for S27, and to another victim a pair for S45. Either pair could probably be bought of a legiti- mate dealer in the cheaper glasses for 90 cents or dollar. In Phoenix the Liebers did land office business in "specs." They also did little radium merchandising on the side, which is thus related by the Republican:
 ''1t was learned yesterday morning that the Iiebers were doing more than spectacle peddling. The day before one of them had sold an old German woman living north of the city what he said was half ounce of radium for $37 5O This was crime against the radium market. According to M. and Mme. Curie, the discoverers of radium, it would cost about $6,500,00 to pro duce two and one-sixth pounds of the metal or element, whichever it is. However, no such amount as two and One-sixth pounds has ever been pro- duced. The entire visible supply is not more than the half ounce disposed of by the I.iebers to this German woman who was assured that it would cure cancer, chicken cholera and many other dangerous and hitherto unyield- ing ailments. It was subsequently, learned that the I.iebers had been giv- ing radium as |. premium to many of the purchasers of spectacles. The German woman, however, did not lose her money. for she gave check for the purchase price of the radium. Early yesterday morning she came out of the hypnotic spell into which ''Dr." T.ieber had thrown her, and sending to town had payment stopped"

S37,0OO,OO0 FOR
 RECLAMATION
Hos Angeles Examinerl


 F. H. Newell, chief engineer of the United States reclamation service, who is on a tour of inspection of the govern ment works throughout the west, re- turned yesterday from an inspection of the works now under construction on the Colorado river near Yuma.
 MT. Newell says that sa7.O0O. .0OO is being expended by the government in thirteen western states and three terri tories; that l, ,OOO, ,OOO acres are to be re- claimed and that the work in hand will furnish homes for 250, 900 people.
 "The object of the government is to make homes," said MT. Newell last night. "It is essentially movement for making homes and extremely ad- vantageous to all men with large falni- lies.
 ''The government is making big experiment.. whereby communities may be built up and strengthened. We have surveys, let contracts, and in the meantime have started to organize water users associations composed of settlers, who intend ultimately to own and operate their own irrigation sys- tens.
 CoiOniZing Lands.
 ''The great problem is to colonize the lands with the best class of people; men who are able and willing to work and who are ambitious to build homes. I believe the Hearst papers reach that class of people and can aid materially in arousing the proper interest in the great projects.
