A BIG STRIKE
Eight Foot Vein Found in
Golden Chest Mine

Word has been received in the city
by officers of the Golden Chest Mining
and Tunneling Company of a big
strike on their property last week.
This word comes from j. X. Lewis.
who is president of the company. Mr.
Lewis is a practical miner and for
months has been going ahead with the
tunnel which is to cut the vein on
Golden Chest No at depth of 600
feet. The strike which is reported
has been discovered on Golden Chest
No. 3. II is a vein eight feet wide
and of undetermined richness. Mr..
Lewis was to have come to the city
this week for the holidays, but so
startling is this strike that he is re-
naming at the mine until he explores
this vein more thoroughly
The Golden Chest msie is one prop
erty controlled by Negroes that has
tried under difficulties to make
showing for every dollar invested. Ii
has not been an active stock on the
market so much as some, but has
been more steadily worked than most
of them. The stockholders are jubil-
ant such as know of the strike. and
the prospects are steadily getting bet
ter that this mine will be a dividend
payer. 1t already has one large vein
discovered on Golden Cnest No. /,
which varies in values from $50 to
$50 per ton and small veins OF higher
value have been opened elsewhere on
the company property. II is there
fore great stroke of fortune that in
the endeavor TO drain the large vein
already found, another large one
should he found.

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers in
charge of the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead.
They showed how easy 1t would be for fire to
sweep over part of the reservation and put gov.
eminent property in jeopardy
For time the Indians observed the request,
the Los Angeles Times says but few days ago
celebrated the departure of one of their number
In the most approved redskin style The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and his house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
In the happy hunting ground, ready for an enthu.
siastic reception.
But, inasmuch as the personal property OF q
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali.
fornia law, there is no doubt that Jealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every.
thing the dead Indian had ever owned.
The practice Of the Yuma Indians in burning
their dead, together with the possessions left by
the departed braves has aroused the federal an
thorities to action. While there wouldn't be in
reference with cremation-a religious rite-the
officers declare that government property mus,
not be endangered.

the significant week in June at the

perhaps it be at the United States Naval 'acad-'
