J. F. RANEY SELLS
RED PAINT MINE
j. E. kreeps of Los Angeles Will De-
veIop Vast Iron Oxide Deposit
Active Work to Start About No
Vember I.

Last week J. F. Raney leased
and bonded the Red Paint group Of
seven claims, located about nine
miles north of Parker, to j. E
Kreeps of Los Angeles. The lease
and bond runs for period of five
years, regular payments to be made
monthly. At the expiration of five
years the final and largest payment
becomes due.
The Red Paint group is noun
tain of iron oxides, covering at least
one square mile. The entire hill OF
miniature mountain runs 50 per cent
in iron, the mineral having special
values in the manufacturing of paints
and is valuable as a flux
When Mr.. Raney located the paint
mine some years ago, it was devel
ped practically as much as it is to-
day Numerous tunnels, some of them
go feet in length, were run into
the mountain by prehistoric miners
and hundreds of stone hammers are
stiil lying around the old works
Other evidences have been discov-
ar'4d which show unmistakable sign2
OF ehistoric mining

mine will begin active work on the
property about November l. For
the present it is Mr.. Kreeps' inten-
ton to ship 100 tons of the mineral
every month. All of the work, it Is
understood, is to be let by contract
The hauling from the mine to Dren-
nan, a distance of nine miles, will
probably be the most expensive
item of cost in getting the product
to market, but as the road is all
downgrade a good-sized wagon-load
can be brought down with ease.
1t is expected that quite number
Of men will be employed in mining
and hauling the product to the rail

RALPH CAMERON
VISITS PARKER
Arzona's Delegate to Congress Is
Reservation Lands Shall Be Opened
to Entry Early Mkt Year.

Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, delegate
to congress from Arizona, arrived in
Parker Thursday morning. His visit
was unexpected, and all the NOR
welcome because he came to make a
personal investigation Of the Colorado
River reservation lands and to more
thoroughly familiarize himself with
the situation here in order that he
may be better prepared to urge the
opening of the reservation at the ear
lest opportunity.
Accompanied by local citizens Mr..
school buildings and was afterward
driven over part of the lands in
the vicinity of the agency, and later
he visited Headgate Rock, where the
proposed diversion dam is to be built
While this was not Mr.. Cameron's
first visit here, he marveled over the
undeveloped possibilities of Parker
and the thousands of acres of ag-
ricultural lands lying adjacent to the
town, and declared that no other sec
ton of Arizona possesses the natural
resources which are to be found here.
Mr. Cameron was greatly disap-
pointed to find that the government
had not as yet accomplished anything
definite relative to the opening of
the lands to entry. AS he Is to meet
Acting Secretary Adams and Commis
sioner of Indian Affairs Valentine
within the next few days he made
special trip to Parker for the purpose
of securing data to put the matter up
to the above officials in as forcible
a manner as possible. In fact, he is
going to try and induce Commissioner
Valentine to visit Parker and look
over the situation personally.
When informed that word had been
received the past week that the sur
veyors would arrive soon after No
vember l to begin the work of sur
veying and sub-dividing the lands, he
said that now was the time to keep
things moving and see that the lands
were opened Immediately upon COM
pletion of the survey. He was en-,
phatic in saying that he would de-
vote his best energies at Washington
this winter in getting an order from
the department for the opening of
the reservation at the earliest posci
BILE moment.
While Mr.. Cameron stated that his
mission here was solely for the pur-
pose of gathering data on the reser-
walton lands, when questioned as to
his chances of being one of Arizona'G
first senators to congress, he replied
that they were exceedingly good pro-
viding that hundreds of voters whom
he had met the past few weeks were
not all like that ancient duffer, Ana
Mas.
Mr.. Cameron has many warm
friends in Parker who desire to see
him return to Washington as sena-
tor from this state. So far as Parker

ing Of the reservation lands. Prior
to the opening of the townsite he
rendered valuable service toward has
tening the date of it's opening.
