OHIO CAPITALISTS
ACQUIRE MINES AT
CHLORIDE, ARIZONA
SECURE BOND ON PlNKHAM
PROPERTY
viii Move Mine Machinery over from
Vivian-Strike in Gold Road Dis
trict Causes Small Stampede
from Kingman

A. L. White and associates of Lima,
Ohio, are preparing for extensive min
ing operations in the Chloride district,
twenty-six miles north of Kingman
They recently acquired the Midnight
mine and have now bonded the Pink
ham, adjoining, and are examining
other nearby properties belonging to
George Beebe and D. f. Meredith
The Pinkham was secured from John
Boyle, Jr., who developed the Col
Conda into a bonanza mine.
Mr.. Boyle has had the shaft entirely
retimbered so that the new owners can
start work at once. The Midnight has
been unwatered and drifting resumed
on the 200-foOt level. The above mines
lie about two miles south from Chlo-
ride, and have produced. it is said,
many hundred thousand dollars in gold
silver and copper, though the maxi
mum depth reached is less than 800
feet.
Mr.. White and his associates own
a complete power plant in Needles,
which was formerly used TO operate
the Victor mine i'm the Vivian district
of this county, and it is proposed to ul-
timately move this machinery TO chic
ride should the development planned
and already started, justify such
change. Chloride IS centrally lo'dteu
for the operation of large number
of mines by an electric power plant
and we'll equipped with water and
transportation facilities. With the
resumption of work in the Tennessee,
Samoa, Midnight, Rainbow and Pink
ham the old camp is more active than
it has been in many years.
A small stampede took place in Gold
Road a few days ago when three feet
of S22 ore was cut at a depth Of eighty
feet In the May Count mine, bought
by 4. c. Warden & Co short time
ago. The property lies only snort
distance north of the Gold Road mine,
and as soon as the strike became
known there was a general rush for
ground. and the district already well
covered by locations was again monu-
mented. A tunnel on Jim McConnell :
Lilly prospect is now eighty feet in ore
that assays from SO to $25 ton in
free milling gold.

According to reports received in Gold
field, w. H. Knickerbocker, widely
known in Goldfield and Nevada as
clergyman, orator and mining pro-
moter, has abandoned the wild and
woolly wys of the west which lured
him from the ministry and has returned
to the "cloth," now being in charge
of one of the finest pastorates in the
state Of Tennessee. His family Is also
reported to be with him. knickerbocker
was one of the brightest men VINO ever
came to Gold6eld. For several years
occupying the pulpit in eastern cues
his oratorical ability attracted wide at
tention and opened to him a brilliant
future to his chosen work. Then the
lure of gold called him to the west,
and he abandoned the ministry ana
came first to TonOpah and then cold
field to participate in the mad scramble
for wealth that characterized the early
days of the camp. For time he save
Shakespearean lectures to raise the
wind but in the giddy whirl he seemed
to forget the tenets Of the straight ana
narrow path and wandered lar away
from the teachings that had formerly
been his life work. After good run OF

few equals, and his eulogy at the tu-

1908, was one of the classics of the
west. 1t was as remarkable as
was the eulogy Of the renowned
"Bob" Ingersoll at the funeral of his
own brother, and was reprinted
throughout the country as a shining
example of mining camp thought and
oratory
From Rawhide Knickerbocker went
TO Reno and then to California, but
finally turned his wandering gaze 10

GENERAL FUND
 $so'ooo SHORT
State Finances Greatly Diminished From
 Figures of Year Ago.

Little Rock, Jan. 5.-The close of the last quarter of 1908 shows a balance of $11O,39S.4 in the general revenue fund as against S19O.S35.S9 for the same date two years ago or falllng OH of more than SSO,OOO.
 This is interesting in view of the fact that the showing in each case represents the condi- tion of the available fund On the eve of the converting of the gen. eral assembly and furnishes an index as to possible conditions of the fund at the close of the second quarter in each case. At the close of the second quarter in 1907, after the legislature had adjourned, there was to the credit of the fund S142,126,.72
 This of course took into con- sideration the influx of money under the operation of both the Combs and Wingo acts, both of which were operative for 1907 as well as for 1909, and in both of which much of the revenue came in before the end of the second quarter.
 This year it is estimated that by the end of the second quarter the balance will be much small CT than that of 1907, if indeed it is not exhausted A falling off in the liquor license revenue is expected, although not to any marked extent. Most of this am bunting to about S5O,OOO is pay
 able before the end of the sec ond quarter.
 However the revenue under the Wingo act is not expected to be so large this year, since, after the initial chartering of compan- ies and payment of fees under the act, the income from this law is only for new companies chartered or foreign companies entering the state. Under the Combs act the revenues will be about the same as for 1907.
 It is thus seen that, with the handicap of SSO,0OO to start with and the possible decrease in revenues from the operation of the Wingo act and the liquor license even with other condi- tions being equal with those of 19O7 there is likely not to be

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Some time ago I called the at tentiOn of the public to the fact that there is considerable agi- tation of the hog law proposition and asked for an expression. I have received a petition of 316 names in favor of the law and am advised that there are other to come in. l have received no petitions so far against it. I called for expressions from both sides. Personally it is a matter about which I am concerned very little, but 1 am very anxious to know the will of the people, If the majority want me to intro duce a law I will do it. If the majority do not want the law l will not introduce it. It is a matter that there is great d. versity of opinion about and my only object is to serve the will of the people in this as well as all other matters, if 1 know it. There are objection to pe- titions generally, yet they neces- saryily show in some measure the will of the people and l do not know how better to get an expression from a great number of people very soon. 1 am sure that our representative, Bro. Whaley feels about the same way about this matter.

any thing Ike the S142,2OO in the general revenue fund at the end of the second quarter. of this year.
 In addition to this, there are several appropriations which some have suggested as emer- gency measures such for inst ance, as an appropriation to wipe out the $5O,OOO deficit which will have accumulated in the penitentiary fund by the end of January and an appropriation Of the same amount for the pur- pose of prosecuting the claima of the state against the rail- roads, in the injunction fight with other contingencies.
 All of which brings up the question of where more reven- ue" is going to come from. The question will be one which the legislature will probably have put up to it early in the session for the state has to have revenue for it's maintenance, and as the general revenue fund is the only one from which current expen- ses and miscellaneous approp.> riations must be made, some steps, it is declared, will have to be taken to build it up.
