Melon Carnival

A success socially. and financially, Yuma's first annual Feast of Melons has passed into memory as one of the city's most delightful events. The att tendance was very large and all who had the fortune tO be present had d genuinely good time. To the eating of melons there wds no end Every per- son there exported several crates of cantalOupes and some wagon loads of watermelons. At least all present sampled sufficient number to be able to personally guarantee the quality of the Yuma valleyfruit. It was Lo cele- brate the first shipment of melons from Yuma in car lots that the pleasant af- fair had been arranged by the members of the Yuma County Commercial club and in order to make the evening one of permanent profit to city and valley they hit upon the plan of having it earn all the money possible and of turning that money into advertising matter. The club members want to issue a fine booklet which will tell Yuma's story to the world. They propose something elaborate of illustration and containing details of the resources of city and valley. They feel tha; tI'e time has come when the country needs more settlers and they want to attract them in this way.
 An excellent programme, dancing and other features made Tuesday even- ing at the skating rink one of pleasure. The band played, and played well. Yuma now has an excellent brass ag- gregati',n. The programme was spark ing. Miss Anita Post was heard for the second time, this summer by her host of Yuma friends and admirers. She has a superb voice ard was never heard to such advantage as this year. SEe has sweetness of tone, clearness, of enunciatiOn anu delicious shading. Her volume sustains her range to~a nice balance.

Cinndbdr Mining
 In Yuma County.
The Successful Operations of the Colonial Mining Company
 in Yuma.

Quartzsite, Ariz., June 27.-Speclal Correspondence of the Phoenix Repub- lican. 1.-The Colonial Mining company is operating a cinnabar mine in north ern Yuma county, about fifteen miles southwest of Quartzsite. D.A Johnson, whose many years experience in quick silver production make his statement aurhoritive, and who has been in charge of the Colonial company plant for over d year, overseeing the erection of re- torts, furnaces, etc., passed through Ouartzsite few days ago on his way to TerIingua, Texas, where he is to take charge of q plant
 NIr. Johnson stated that at the 3OO- foot level the Colonial company had struck a large body of 8 per cent ore. The furnaces are running full blast, producing quicksilver, and the manager is pushing development into the mine, over thirty men being on the pay roll. There is q large reserve of ore iu sight, The main shaft is being sunk deeper,
 A short distance from the Colonial mine and plant, Messrs Butler and DangerGeld are doing location work on aight cinnabar claims they have just located. Mir. Johnson thinks they have what will develop into a mine.
 In "Minerai Resources of the United States. l906," notice of the Colonial Mining company's property is given, 1t being stated that the ore yields l.0 per cent. Ore running one-half of one per cent cinnabar pays to work. In one in- stance Qtaly) 50, ,403 tons of ore averag- ing O.5 per cent. yielded 352 tons of mercury.
 Since the early eos the section where the Colonial company is located has been known as the "Napoleon" group, worked by a French company for copper. The late Porter Laird, a pioneer resi- dent who came to La Paz in 1866, stat ed that samples of cinnabar were brought to La Paz by prospectors in the early days by members of the French company. The company was working the Napoleon group at the Ttime and undoubtedly the samples came from this locality.
 The late Pete Smith, associated with James Cox of Quartzste, located the rroun6 for conner. afterWard bonding it to Col. l. s. Judd, who was interest ed in the district. Handing piece to Col. Judd, Smith said: "How is that for copper?" Judd replied: Damned poor copper, but first class cinnabar ore." Inside of twentyfour hours the property was tied up. Col. Judd turned the property over to the above company having charge of development until conditions warranted the erection of a reduction plant.

SEEKS ROBBERS CACHE"
Quest for Buried Treasure Is Expect

Quest for Buried Treasure Is Expect
ed to Reveal $4,000 in Gold.
A resident of Charles Mix county
who does not wish his name made
public Is engaged in an interesting
search for buried treasures, and is
quite hopeful that he will succeed In
finding a cache" OF $4,000 in gold
coin, which is alleged to have been
deposited in the ground years ago.
In the spring Of 1885 a daring bank
robbery took place at Norfolk, Neb.
The robbers are alleged to have Sc
cured the $4,000 in gold coin. A posse
soon was on the track of the robbers,
who are alleged to have crossed the
Missouri river to South Dakota. Hard
pressed, they decided, it is said, to
cache" their loot, and buried the
gold near the roots of a lone tree,
which was supposed to stand at a
point about three miles north Of the
Conger ranch.
The land upon which the gold is sup
posed to be hidden nov belongs to a
Yankton Sioux Indian, but he has
given his consent to the search being
made. after being given a liberal sum
by. the man who hopes to find the
gold.

Two Homesteaders Are Bound Over
to Answer to Charge.

Two Homesteaders Are Bound Over
to Answer to Charge.
Howard snd Horace Hamiin, home
steaders near Wokama. have been
bound over to answer to the charge
Of shooting stock, it being alleged that
they shot a number of cattle belonging
to F. E. Olney, one Of the old-time
ranchers of that part Of the state.
The chances are that there will be
a great deal Of friction between stock
men and homesteaders in hat county
this summer. They do not get a vote
on that question in Stanley until No
vember, and In the meantime cattle
will run at large. The homesteaders
crops will be tempting to them, and
this Is certain to cause trouble, as the
homesteader does not fancy seeing
his years work swept up in a few
hours by a hungry herd of cattle,
with no legal remedy at his hand to
secure protection.
Before another year, the stockman
will be the man who will have to bear
the brunt of trespass, If the voters
of the county are given an opportunity
to express themselves at the polls.
