Navajo's Cause Trouble

William Smith a cattleman re-
siding about 80 miles north of
here came IN a few days ago and
stated that his ranch-house had
been entered, various articles
stolen and his dog poisoned.
Suspicion pointed to some Nava-
10 Indians living nearby and
Sheriff Woods placed two OF them
under arrest. charged with burg
larv. A bad feature Of the case
is that the meat used for provis-
ions by Smith is suspected OF be
ing poisoned, sample OF the
same having been sent to a chem
lst for analysis.
The case was called Thursday
afternoon, but was postponed
until Saturday, awaiting the
coming of U. S. Attorney Alexan-
der, who has been assigned TO
defend the Indians.
Considerable complaint has
been made for many months re-
garding the hostile attitude of
Navajo Indians living off the res
ervation north of here Stock
has been killed from time to time
by these Indians, and their
agents are either powerless or
else are unwilling to mend mat
ters. A protest is to be made to
the authorities at Washington,
with a view to placing these In
dians on the reservation under
proper control.

Santa Fe Loses in High
Court.

Washington, March 9.-In de-
clding the case OF the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
Company versus George A. Sow
ers, against the company, the
United States Supreme Court
yesterday construed delicate
question concerning the appllca-
ton of the laws of one jurisdic-
ton III another. 1t was an ac-
ton for damages brought in a
Texas court by Sewers, a brake
man on the railroad and a citi-
zen of Arizona, caused by an ac
cident which occurred III New
Mexico. The trial court award
ed So, ZOO and that verdict was
affirmed by yesterdays decision.
The injury was sustained by
Sewers while riding on the ten
der OF an engine IN assisting IN
switching, and the railroad com
pany contended that because he
was on the tender he was guilty
of contributorv negligence. The
Texas court decided, however.
that as running on the engine
was customary with trainmen,
it did neteGastit;,te e0ntEl5atoTy
negligence. The railroad com
pany sought to have the disposi-
tion of the case controlled by Il
law of New Mexico prohibiting
the bringing in another jurisdlc-
ton of suits for damages sus-
tanned in that territory The
Texas court held this law to be
applicable only to citizens of New
Mexico and not binding on 9th
ers, and the Supreme Court sus-
tanned this view.

Rich Strike BY Railroad
Men

ne 1OllOW1nS from the Needles
Eye will be of interest to num-
Der of Ouv residents:
The Dunkirk Mining company,
an organization composed of
railroad men, with properties
located some forty-fve miles
south of here, has opened up a
body of ore that is bound to en-
list the attention of conservative
mining men. This company has
been developing its properties
since last June, under the person
al supervision of B. l.. Holmes,
president and general manager.
Last Wednesday Mr.. E. ]. Glib
son, division superintendent of
the A. T. & S. F. railway, with
headquarters at Winslow, arriv-
ed IN the city. He is also treasur-
er of the Dunkirk Mining com
pany, and owns considerable
stock in the corporation. Messrs.
Gibson and Holmes, accompanied
by Mr.. Kelly, a mining expert,
visited the properties this week,
and so far as can be learned,
these gentlemen appear more
than well satisfied with the re
suit of their trip.
The writer, however, having
had an interview with Mr..
Holmes, whom he has known for
several years. is able to place this
bit of information before the
readers of the Eye. Mr.. Holmes
stated to him that on the first
visit made to the mine with Mr..
Kelly and from samples taken at
that time, he had returns of
1912 40 in gold, $24OO in cop
per and $1.9S in silver. The
second visit, of which Mr.. Gibson
was a member OF the party. re-
suited in getting some very nice
returns from samples taken after
further development work had
been done and a better showing
made in this particular body of
ore, the samples assaying as fol-
lows: $1O2. 40 in gold and $695
in silver; another, $9S SOin gold,
$1O2 81 in silver and $SS.OS in
copper; and still another, $3.50. 80
in gold and $500 in silver. These
assays were from samples taken
from what is considered a gener-
al average of the conditions in
which the ore was displayed in
which the ore was displayed in
the openings.
The strike will materially
strengthen the arguments ad-
vanced by mining men of the
stability of ore values in the
Parker country.
