THINKS 0LO PLACER O|GG|NGs ARE
 FOUND
tFrom Tuesdays Daiiyt

X gold strike that promises to send men scurrying into the lower Colorado River country near Ehrenberg, Ariz., has just been made by H. K. Adams. who has returned to Los Angeles to report his discovery to his associates, General F.. Bowton and F.. R. Cannon.
 From samples of quartz carrying large nuggets of pure gold. it appears that something unusual has been dis. covered, and if the find holds out, stampede to the new diggings is bound to follow.
 The new strike in measure serves 10 locate the origin of the old placer deposits of the district from which in two years some s5,OOO,0OO in placer gold was extracted while the La Paz excitement was on. One sample that Adams brought back with him is the siez of mans fist and carries mug gets of pure gold weighing nearly a. The rock is scanned with gold, and, be- ing white quartz and the metal be. ing exceptionally free, makes dag zling specimen.
 Recently Adams located a group of copperslver claims in the district and sold them to the Stronghold Mining Company, close corporation of Los Angeles men. He retained four claims adjoining and recently began to pros peet them. While trenching across ffteen-foot cropping of quartz, he en- countered the bonanza streak. The entire ledge shows free gold in lesser quantities. Some assays show free milling rock to the value of $500 per ton, and the bonanza rock easily runs sl0,o00 per ton.
 Adams will return to Ehrenberg for the purpose of taking out a shipment of the rich. rock, and be anticipates even greater results as he follows the streak downward. The find Is situated twelve miles east of Ehrenberg.
 "I have never seen anything to equal this territory says Adams, "and I have prospected for fifteen years both in western Arizona and eastern California. l am going to de. velop this deposit, as have sufficient money coming from the sales have made. The mine being only a short distance from the Colorado River, I can haul ore there and treat 1t at com. paratively little cost"
 Recently Adams sold an immense gypsum deposit to Bob Montgomery, the mining millionaire, who is to start operations as soon as the Parker cut off is completed.
 Following the report of two impor- tant strikes on the Morro and Clara mines of the Clara Consolidated, or. ders have been issued from the head.

DYNAMITE THAW|NC WRECKS MINE
 MACHINERY
Reckless Treatment Of Giant Powder Has
 Usual Result
,rrom Tuesday.s pnllyl

Forty pounds of dynamite being thawcd n the boiler room of the hoisiing and air compressor plant of the Black Mountain Copper Company exploded yesterday morning at II O o'clock, blowing the building Co pieces, tearing the boiler from it's moorings, wrccking its foundation and badly damaging the air compressor. It is believed that the noist, also damaged, can be repaired. No one was injured, although several of the employees mar rowly escaped being hit by the flying debris and pieces of machinery.
 As result of the explosion work has been suspended in the mine un- til the wrecked machinery is replaced and repaired.
 The explosion of the powder, which was in box resting on the top of the boiler, was heard many miles. The powder was slightly frozen during the recent storms. It was placed on the boiler Co thaw and after being there some time exploded. wrecking the building and machinery.
 1he camp of the Black Mountain Copper Company is seven miles east of Jerome Junction in the Mineral Point district. The machinery, all new from the factory. bad been in opera. ton only a month.
 IL is believed that the explosion will cause the discontinuance of the prac tice of thawing frozen powder on boilers in many camps in this and oth- er territories and states.

WHEN IS A LoBo WOLF
 NOT A LOBO WOLFF
(From sundsx's DaIly)

Suit mas been entered in the district court by Thomas r. Peters against Va vapai county for the collection of 1869 bounties alleged to be due for the sur. render of twenty'two bounty pelts, eighteen of which, he alleges, were the hides of predatory lobo wolves and four the outer coverings of coyotes. The animals that sported the disputed hides were killed by the plaintiff in this county.
 November plaintin presented tns hides of questionable identity to the board of supervisors with demand for the statutory bounties on eighteen lobos and four coyotes. The board of supervisors refused to allow the claims as presented on the ground that the eighteen hides claimed by Peters to belong to the lobo species were coy 'ote hides. They offered him sl eaca for the hides, this being the legal bounty for coyote pet. The offer was refused and suit for the collection of the $20 bounty on each lobo hide and s4 for the coyotes instituted later.
 Chairman Smith of the board of su- lpervisors, woen seen yesterday, stated that he was ready to pay the bounties claimed by Peters when satisfied that the eighteen hides in dispute were lobo ipelts. He desires the fact established when a lobo Is not lobo and what a iobo wolf is in the meaning of the statutes, anyhow, before ne signs any more warrants in payment for hides which some claim were taken from dead coyotes and others assert are the outer coverings of the predatory lobo
 It is hinted that several wolf and wild animal experts and noted hunters and explorers from different parts of the territory will be summoned as wit nesses in the case.
 District Attorney k. F. Morrison has entered a general demurrer to Pc. 'ters' complaint, The date of the near. ing has not been set.

DRINKS POISON AT BURIAL PLACE
 OF UNCLE Prompt Play of Pump Saves Life Of
 Cantin
lFrnn ruesdnN,s nallvl


 Tired of life after . four days spree, man giving the name of !. Cantin, attempted suicide over the grave of his uncle, Max Cautin in the Citizen cemetery sunday morning at ll O o'clock by swallowing potion of sulphuric acid. His life was saved by Deputy Sheri1 John Merritt, who found him half an nour later and brought him to the sherir's office, where he was hurriedly subjected to the stomach pump. He was taken to the Mercy Hospital later, where he is now slowly recovering.
 Before committing the rash act he informed woman that he was tired of life and intended to commit suicide on the grave of his uncle in the Citi. zen's Cemetery. He handed her S3, stating that he had no use for the money and left determined to end his life. She notified friend, who in turn called the attention of the sher. iff's office to the statements made by Cantin. Deputy Sheriff Merritt aur. ried to the graveyard and found Can tin rolling on the grave of his uncle an great agony. At the sight of the officer be arose and ran. He fell, ap. parently in swoon. before reaching the cemetery fence. He was aroused by the officer and escorted towards the city on the street ear track. He fell on the ground and rolled in great ago ny before the electric ear arrived with Louis Yaegcr and Justice of the Peace MeLane. Yaeger and !. A. McGinn dad seen Cantin on the grave on the previous trip and after examining him left, believing that he was dead. They sommoped Coroner McLane and he re. turned with them to hold an inquest, finding Can,in very much alive in Merritt's custody.
 They escorted Cantin to the sheriff's | office, where he was relieved by a phy. | sieian and taken to the Mercy Hos pital.
 Cantin's friends are puzzled at his strange act as he has several thous- and dollars to his credit in local bank, has never worried over business affairs or known to have been tilted | or disappointed in love.

DRILL TESTS WILL PROVE KELVIN
 DISTRICT

Provided the drill tests now under way on the properties of the Ray Con. solidated Copper Company in the Kel. win district of Pinal county prove sat. isfactory, that company will have at least 5000 men in its employ by May l. This Is the latest reliable informa- tion from that section of Pinal county. Eleven drilling outfits are now at work. on the eompany's properties at Ray and Kelvin, the deepest being about 400 feet. The results of the drilling operations will be reported to the headquarters of the company in New York by February l. In ease the great blanket deposits of that region prove as reported, arrangements will be made at once to commence the cree. tion of one of the largest smelting plants in the United States.
 Mining men familiar with this dis trict of Pinal county assert that there is greater range of mineralization there than in any district of the ter ritory. The ore bodies are principally blanket deposits extending through the mountains many miles. In tho great masses of low grade conglomerates are found many veins of ore sampling high in copper. Two hundred miners and mechanics arc employed at Ray and 2i0 minors and mechanics at Kel- win. The high grade ores from the Ray mine are being piled on the dumps awaiting the completion of the smelt. Ter and the conglomerates shipped to the Kelvin concentrating plant for treatment. The concentrating plant is running three shifts with crew of sixty men. The Ray mine is connect. cd with the Kelvin concentrating plant by narrow guage railroad.

quarters in Los Angeles for survey and plans for a narrow guage railroad to connect these properties with the Signal mine at Swansea, Ariz., where Clara Consolidated shelter is being erected. Engineer Mckinney, who has recently become associated with the Mitchell ventures in western Ari- zona, is in charge of inc work. I'm mediately after the survey for the new railroad line, the work of con. struction will begin.
 Developments in that territory have been so rapid and big orc bodies have been encountered with such frequency that swansea gives promise of becom- ing the center of another Arizona min ing district that may even surpass Bis bee in copper production and at the same time open some large gold mines.
 While prospecting the Morro group this week Superintendent Larry Brown struck vein parallel to that which has furnished several shipments of commercial ore. and the new find has opened to six feet. carrying for lowest assay 7is per cent copper and s3l in gold per ton. Considering that 2 per cent copper can be treated at a profit the find is considered an exceptionally good one.
 On the Clara mine, n short distance northeast. another shaft, started on n vein heretofore not explored, has open cd a body of similar ore that shows for the entire width of the shaft.
 Harry Mitchell, brother of Fred and George Mitchell of the Consolidated, will arrive at the mine this week with more men 10 begin extensive develop. ment on both the Morro and Clara.
 To date some 2,500,00O tons of cop. per gold ore has been blocked out ready for mining and smelling, and the new field gives promise of adding an immense tonnage to this already remarkable result.
 It is in the intention of the Con solidated to have several hundred men at work within the next few months. These. together with the force that will he employed on the new Bouse Swansea spur from the A. & C.. rail road and that employed on the com. pany's narrow-guage road, will make more than 1000 men who will find em. ployment in connection with George big operations in western Yuma county.
 This week orders were placed for ! complete electric plant at the Signal nine, and the camp as well as the workings underground will he lignted y this method. Two big steam hoists rave been ordered and will he ready Tor installation when the shelter is blown in.
 Mitchell has solved the fuel prob. em by using slag in steam generation. Recently a patent was secured on a pecially constructed boiler. The slag rom the furnaces is introduced auto. natically into an inner boiler and | here granulated and discharged auto. natically after it mas done its work | if steam generation. This boiler is low in use at the Cananea mine in | Mexico, and is a success.

a. child. q great many grown people. too this reviewer for instance, who Is cal lous-at times grows morbid over the flood of books-and is hard to please.
 The aim of this little book is to give to the child or grown person connected cycle of Sir Thomas Malory's quaint, beautiful stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table The book makes no pretense to originality of mat ter On the contrary every effort has been made to keep the text like the orig inal just so far as compatible with the understanding of the child-and some grown folks--for instance, this reviewer again. So that while much has been dis carded in the way of matter that the stories might be brought within reasona- ble compass the form and diction are Malary's few difficult constructions have been simplified and some of the oldest English expressions changed-that is about all.
 The story of King Arthur is ever new. He is supposed to have lived in England many many centuries ago, after the com ing of the Saxons and before the coming of the Normans. Of all the Christian kings. he is said to have been the great est and bravest and the stories of his noble acts his feats of arms, his strength, his loyalty to his knights, his humanity, his love, his exquisite gentleness, ms me courtesy have come down to us through the ages in many forms and in many tongues.
 King Arthur lived at the time when chivalry was at its height. This was the age when the highest calling was the call to arms when men showed their loyalty to their king, their baron and their lady by feats of arms; when their noblest duty, their noblest sport, was to fight.
 This was the age also when religious fervor burned high and there was great active movement to recover the Sangreal or Holy Grail, which was the holy cup from which our Lord Jesus Christ is sup posed to have drunk at the Last Supper and In which Joseph of Arimathea is said to have caught the blood that fell from Jesus side when He was on the cross Once for little while the Sangreal was in England, but through the wickedness of the people it was lost After that the Knights of the Round Table could not rest until it was recovered.
 The references to King Arthur in his tory are vague or lacking altogether, so that many persons have doubted that such a king ever lived. Modern scholars on the whole have been led to believe in real Arthur, hut an Arthur who was a successful general rather than the mag
