Thanks to Business Men
of Kendrick

Last summer the people OF the
Norwegian Lutheran Church Of
Little Bear Ridge started a sub
scription to secure a bell for their
church, to which the business men of
Kendrick subscribed literally, as
they always have done for every
worthy object that has ever been
presented to them by the people Of
the Ridges.
During the past fall this bell was
received and has been installed in
the tower of their church.
The members OF the Norwegian
Lutheran Church of Little Bear
Ridge desire to express their thanks
to all who contributed for the above
purpose. especially to the business
men OF Kendrick, for their assistance
in this undertaking.

Idaho National Declare
Dividend

The Idaho National Harvester Co.
at it's annual meeting last week de-
clared a dividend of a little over
$500. which is about &c per share,
which has been mailed to the share
holders.
With this dividend was an an
nouncement that the Company will
offer for sale at $500 per share only
1900 shares, after which the price will
advance to par, or $40 per share.
The Company calls the attention of
the stockholders to it's probable
value and announces that it will give
those who invested with the Com
pany during it's early struggles first
opportunity to acquire additional
holdings and it is doubtful if the
outside public will get an oppor-
tunity to get any of this 1900 shares.
Last year the Company put out
eight machines and declared u divid-
end; with the new factory with a
capacity of 100 machines and more
orders already received than can be
filled, the outlook for dividend and
stock way above par next year is
very bright.
1t is probable that the new factory,
recently completed, will have to be
enlarged very soon to capacity of
800 machines per year, which will
give Moscow what they have always
needed, "a manufacturing enterprise
with a steady pay roll, which will
bring many additional families to
that city and will be the making OF
our County Seat.

WILLY JAP LEAPS
 FROM FAST TRAIN
From Sundays Dailyl


 After one of the most trying ex- perienees he has ever had since as- suming official duties, Deputy Sheriff Charles Mainze arrived in the city last night with an insane Japanese from Ash Fork, foot sore and little chagrined at the cunning trick played on him.
 After leaving that place, yesterday morning, with his man, and at a point near Valley, the Jap entered the toilet room, and a few minutes later was seen by a passenger, rolling over and over, and later, taking to his heels across lots.
 The train was stopped after it had passed a few miles beyond, and with a determination not to be Outelassed as a sprinter, Mainze took to the hills in an effort to run his man down. He finally struck his trail, and later the Jap was found in an old building of the abandoned Puntenney lime works, erouehed in the corner, with blood streaming from the in- juries he received in the fall.
 The deputy sheriff estimates that he travelled ten long miles, and after Tagging the southbound train, was again put on board, en route to Pres colt.
 The Jap was doeile all the way down, but when he was being taken off the train he became unruly and quite a demonstration occurred at the depot. He was overppwered and landed in the county jail. His escape from serious injury is considered re- markable when he fell from the train. It was moving at a rapid rate, and he is badly bruised. He entered Ash Fork from Williams Fri day night, in a nude condition, and is mentally unbalanced. He has re- fused to converse with his country men, several of whom questioned him. Deputy Mainze says that since Weston, the traneontinental pedes- trian, was in that town, the walking fever is epidemic, in which he joined i the procession, and attributes the cap | ture yesterday to being proficient with his feet and always in trim for any special exhibitions for "money or narbles," as he tersely expresses it.

FLAMES DESTROY
 MARLowE HOME
From Sundays Daiiy)


 The old MarlOwe home in William son Valley was totally destroyed by fire, Friday, at about noon, and the aged and infrm owner of the place, J. N. Marlow, had a narrow escape from perishing in the flames.
 The fire started in the room where MT. Marlowe was sitting in an arm chair. When discovered the blaze had reached great hadway. Mrs. Mar lowe and Mrs. E. N. Marlowe, her daughter-in-law, gave a general alarm and summoned George and Ernest Marlowe from the fields. With con siderable difficulty the senior Mar lowe was taken out of the room, it being impossible for the latter to move, owing to paralysis of the body. r-. .
 For fifteen years he had never left the old arm chair, and when he saw the flames creeping toward him he gave loud cry, which attracted the attention of the women from the adjoining room. The younger Mar loves reached the room just in time, and carried their afflicted rela- tive to the open without any of them sustaining injury.
 The loss is complete one, and is estimated at $4,OOO, without insur- anee. Mrs. J. N. Marlowe, the faith ful wife of her stricken husband, loses a valuable collection of family relics, which she has had in her home since girl, and which she prized highly.
 The Marlowes home was one of the landmarks of Williamson Valley, while the family is one of the best known in the county. For the pres ent they are at the Carter ranch, where they will remain until a new home is built

BILL TO MEET
 IRRIGATION ExPENEs

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. l4. -
 A bill for the issuance of certificates
 of indebtedness to the extent of $3O,
 100000 for completing irrigation pro jects already approved or extensions thereof, will be favorably reported from the Senate committee on irri. gation, to the Senate, Monday, fol. lowing the action of the committee today. The bill was introduced by Senator Carter, and was amended by the committee. One of the amend ments which the committee framed will enlarge the scope of the work to be done with the proceeds of the sale of the certificates. The com mittee struck out the provision "that all money borrowed under authority of this act shall be devoted exclusive ly to the completion of the work on projects heretofore begun" In lieu of that the committee put in the fol- lowing clause: 'That all money bor- rOwed under authority of this act shall be devoted exclusively to the completion of work on projects here tOfore begun; shall be expended in the completion of such feasible pro- jects as have heretofore been ap- proved by the Secretary of the In terior and in the construction thereof as may be proper and necessary to the successful and profitable opera tiOn and maintenance of the projects or to protect water rights claimed by the United States" Another amendment, regarded as important by the committee, provides that no irri- gation projects, to be paid for out of the proceeds of the sale of public lands, shall be begun unless and un- til they have been approved by direct order of the president. The Seere- tary of the Interior has had this power, and this amendment is designed to transfer the final say in such mat ters to the president. The bill will also provide for the exemption from state, municipal, local or United States taxes or duties of the certificate of The certificates are to bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent, payable quarterly, and are to of
 The committee on irrigation also Senator Sutherland to re- port favorably bill providing for the payment of $1.25 per acre for about 5O,OOO acres of land in the Uinta Indian reservation in Utah. This land was withdrawn for irriga- ton works, in connection with the project.

TO RESUME WORK ON
 MAYFLOWER GROUP
From Sundays DaIly)


 Commencing tomorrow morning, work will be resumed on the May flower group of mines by Charles R. Wallace and Charles J. MeKinstry, the latter arriving last night from California. Work was suspended on this property when the December storms occurred, it being impractieable to continue on account of the deep snow.
 The Mayflower bears a unique po- sition in mining in this section, as it is located within sight of the city on the range of mountains to the east, and the big dump can be seen from almost any point in the town. It is less than two miles distant from the court house. It is a good mining camp for prospecting purposes. Past work shows a shaft eighty-fve feet deep, while along the vein various cuts and shallow shafts were sunk, giving the ground favorable indiea- tions. It is the intention of these operators to sink the main shaft to a depth of 500 feet, after which the erosseutting of the formation will fol low both ways.
 Supporting the expenditure of a heavy sum of money on this project, are good values on the surface in gold and copper, in a strong and well defined vein. At a point east of an immense iron dyke that traverses that range from north to south and dipping to the east, is where the present de- velopment is going on, and when it is tapped later the owners expect to solve the importance of the under taking.
 MT. Wallace is one of the most en- ergtie mining men in the county and maintains at other places a number of men in development propositions His efforts in the Mayflower exploita- tion is characteristic of his faith, and though the section has been run over for a generation, it is to his credit that the first practical mine work today is going on along this heretofore neglected section. Further work is awaited with interest, and those familiar with the conditions in evidence say that it is a proposition that warrants the investment.

MADE BIG DEAL
 IN A BRIEF PERIOD

The following interesting incident is going the rounds of the press re- garding the manner in which a DOT tion of the Calumet & Arizona ter ritory was acquired by the company:
 When James Hoatson, president of the company, who is now visiting in Arizona, went to look over the Calu- met and Arizona property, in it's earlier days, the then owners having no idea who he was-he looked any thing but a miner-allowed him to go underground. He carried with him, as he always does, a pocket compass, and after descending the shaft, paced off the undergrouns workings and kept in his mind the exact length of the various levels and drifts. He found that the rich ore body in one drift extended right up to the boundary lines of an adjoin- ing property. When he got 10 the surface he innoeently inquired who owned the adjoining lands. He was informed that a liquor dealer, Mar tin Costello by name, was the owner, and so Hoatson started off at once in search of him.
 He was found at his saloon and "Captain Jim" immediately engaged him in conversation. He asked Cos tello to have a drink, and the invita- ton was accepted. This courtesy served as an introduction. Costello was asked if he was the owner of certain ground adjoining the Irish Mag. Costello replied that he was. ''WeI," said Captain Jim, ''I know a man who would like to buy it. How much do you ask for it7" Cos tello, scenting some real money, i'm mediately put his price far beyond what he had ever expeeetd to receive for his property, and replied: "I will sell that land for $25O,OOO."
 'Look here,' replied Jim Hoatson, 'for $25O, O,OOOq" It is worth a great deal more than that. I will give you $5O,OOO for a years option on it at $500, ,OOO."
 ''I guess I'm the man your look ing for," said Costello. "Come right down to my lawyers office and we will fix up the papers,"
 This purchase, the option being later exercised, proved to be one of the most important acquisitions to the property now constituting the Calumet and Arizona, and has pro- 1ueed many times it's purchase price in net profits.
 Martin Costello made a fortune in the sale of mining property in Ari- zOna. and has since built a pala- -ial residence in southern California. | He spends most of his time, however, in Tucson.

MILDRED MINING COMPANY
 WILL BE ACTIE

Returning from a months trip to
 the east, yesterday, in the interest
 of the Mildred Mining company, of
 which he is the general manager,
 Dan B. Genung makes the important announcement that a new mechanical equipment has been decided upon by the eastern stockholders, and the pur- pose is to install this immediately.
 Included in this machinery will be a milling plant of the Denver type of a quartz roller mill, a new inven- tion, which is said to be adapted to treating the ores of the Mildred mines, a pumping plant, new hoist and other lesser utilities, making a com plete mining and reduction plant. This move is noteworthy and shows the desirability of the enterprise and the favorable determination of recent work on the St. Elmo claim, on which the development of the future will be centered. On this claim in the past few months a big tonnage of ore has been taken out, and at the deepest workings a vein of quartz and porphyry was developed that runs from four feet to twenty feet, while the values are increasing with this development. The yield is a sulphide, in which free gold and galena were conspicuous. At one point on this claim is a shaft 15O feet deep, while at another is a 100 foot shaft, the entire belt having lesser work with favorable indications.
 An important consideration attached to this property is the situation of the group, located on what is gen erally believed to be the feeding source from which the fabulous wealth of the famous Rich Hill was given in the early days of placer mining work. The Mildred interests are To- cated near this old deposit, and are the first mines lying to the north on which extensive exploitation is shown, and if the belt is established by deeper workings and the source of the flow tapped, the results will be a revelation to the mining world.
 Generally speaking the Mildred ground on the surface is indicative of splendid mineral possibilities, and under the new order adopted by the stockholders at the recent meeting in the east, interest will follow the work that has been authorized to mine to depth and to treat the yield on the ground in an economical man ner.
 MT. Genung was accompanied on the eastern trip by Mrs. Genung, who is a native of New York. She re- newed the pleasant memories of the past, in the old home, and, with her husband, reports having had an agree able trip. They will go to their camp in a few days, MT. Genung be- ing detained in the city to look into business matters for his syndicate.

EXTENSION WORK
 PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

| WICKENBURG, Ariz, Feb. 16. - Work on the extension of the A. 6
 c. from Parker to Bengal is pro-
 gressing rapidly, according to V. E.
 Gamewell, who passed through here
 Monday. The graders are working
 now at mile 60 and the track is completed for thirty-One miles.
 From the very 6rst the conditions
 have been of the best and no trouble
 or delay has been encountered. The
 first ten miles out of Parker re-
 quired more work and took more time
 than any of the balance of the road.
 Since that was finished the work on the grade has been easy. No trouble has been encountered regarding help. Several ear loads of laborers were brought here from the north and east and have remained up to the present time, and as more have been required they have been found nearer home, until at the present time there are over 500 men employed at the different camps strung out along the line.
 A train leaves Parker every after noon and goes out to the end of the line, taking the mail, express, sup plies and such necessities as are re- quired, and returning the same night.
 At Videlle, sixteen miles west of Parker, a well is being sunk by the company, and although they are at present down 25O feet, they have no sign of water About 34 miles west of Parker there is an old well where they have been able to secure plenty of water, and at mile 50 another well has been sunk, and at 27 feet they have an abundance of good water, which is used for all purposes, and only shows the faintest traces of al- kali.
 The track is being laid at the rate of one mile per day, or six miles per week, as the men do not work Sun days, unless something unusual oc- CUTS that requires it.
 At the present rate the grade will be finished by April 1st, easy enough, and the entire line to Bengal finished by the middle of May, or at the latest by June 1st, in time for the exeur- sions to California, which means a quicker and easier method of reach ing the coast than the people n this part of Arizona have ever had.
 The house track being built here by the s. F., P. & P, while not nearly completed, is so far along that the upper portion of it has been put in use. Monday, the A. & c. freight backed in on the new track and load ed their freight without the usual worry of getting out of the way of all other trains, a fact that was ap- preeiated by the crew, which hereto fore has spent more time getting out put of other peoples way, than was agreeable. When the track is finish ed it is understood that the space between the through tracks and the siding is to be leveled and trees md shrubs set out. This will be ap- 1reeiated by every one. The Santa Fe company is famous for these it- le parks near their stations and in iesert places they are the one glimpse If green in miles of sand.
 The brick work and inside plas- ering of the new brick building on Railroad avenue has been completed md the masons left Monday for Phoenix. Et
