FIVE ARE ARRESTED

YUMA, Ariz., March 9.-Army of.
 fieers have established a number of
 facts in connection with the death of the Papago Indian wnOse body was found yesterday tied to a horse s tail. Following the back trail of the horse. the officers were led to a place ten miles distant, on the des- ert, where they found the stump to which the horse was tied while the Indian was made fast. There were signs of a desperate struggle. After the horse was released it ran ten miles at full speed, down the river bottom, and then wandered several miles in all directions. The trail of four men, with a donkey, leading to the PapagO camp, was followed, and five men there arrested. Persons here who are familiar with Papago GUS toms, are inclined to the belief the Indian was accused of witcheraft and executed.

BIG DEMAND FOR LANDS NEAR
 PARKER Reclamation Project Is Being Established
 By Surveyors Interior Department Is Preparing to Parcel
 Reservation
(From Saturdays Daily)

Parker and the country adjacent is attracting more land investors at the present time, than anticipated, was the statement made yesterday by J. I Roberts, after his return to the city from a general inspection of the agricultural conditions of that section. Government surveyors are in that field, on the Arizona side of the river, establishing one of the largest reclamation projects, orange growers from Southern California are Investigating soil conditions and taking over a vast acreage, and sev- eral large land projects are being closed. Several hundred acres of land have recently been located for growing oranges, following the test ing of the soil, and all are very fav- orably impressed with the prolific growth and the early season. MT. Roberts states that in the line of dry farming on the mesa lands near Par ker, conducted on a small scale, for experimental purposes, the results have been astounding, and it is prob
 able this feature of raising crops will assume much favor.
 The Interior Department has on the ground, at the present time, an agent who is preparing to parcel out the lands on the reservation to the 40 Indians, giving to each a tract of ten acres, and throwing the re- mainder, estimated at 100000 acres, open to settlers. This move is ere ating considerable interest, and that the land will be readily taken up is evident from the eagerness of many to locate
 The country has a very bright flu ture, Mr Roberts states, and with the lively times on the opposite side of the river, on the Blythe lands, the natural result will be the drifting of the tide of investment toward Par ker, which far surpasses in agricul- l tural and horticultural resources any section of that country.

RICH MINE NEAR TUCSON IS SOLD

TUCSON, Ariz., March 7.-An agreement has just been reached be- tween the Liberty Silver Mining com pany and the Roosevelt Reduction company of New York, whereby the latter company takes over the oper- ation of the Liberty Mining company property, comprising twenty-four sil- yer claims in the Arivaea district, sixty-ive miles south of Tucson.
 The new company, which is cap italized at $3,OO0,OOO, has given 100000 shares of stock to the old company and 6OO,OOO shares to H. M. Whitbeek, who effected the or ganization.
 Extensive development work is to be commenced on the property next June, and SI,OOO,O0O is to be used for that purpose.
 The officers of the new company are T. J. Cowan, vice president and acting president, owing to the death of President D. L. Moves; c. B. Whitwell, secretary, and H. M. Whit beck, treasurer. All are New York men.
 The Liberty group was opened up originally by the late Liberty Clark. It was sold in 1900 to D. L. Moves and his associates, who came to Tue son to locate several years ago. Just previous to that time it was operated by Col. W. R. Wemple During his superintendeney, it is claimed, a pocket was encountered which pro- duced $10,000 in silver There are several openings on the claims, the deepest shaft being about 200 feet deep. The ore is high grade, and is claimed to go as high as $35O to the ton.
 At the St. Louis Worlds Fair the Liberty ore took first prize among the silver ores taken from Arizona mines. The property has been idle for the past several years, owing to
Weekly journal-miner., 1911-03-15

trend of the ore lenses has not been established.
 The property comprises seven claims, covering the main vein, To- cated fifteen miles northeast of Wickenburg.
 Another very promising showing is at F. x. O'Brien's "B" camp, in the vicinity of the Tomboy, where perpendicular shaft is down 200 feet, and from the bottom of which drift exposes an ore body of an average thickness of twenty feet, a distance of 800 feet. The drift is in the sulphide zone, and the showing is the most promising for a large vein ever opened in the district. MT. o'Brien is pushing the drift ahead and the ore in the face is of higher grade than at the shaft.
 Mir. Bradley will return to his camp after short visit with his family.

VALUES INCREASING
 IN ToMBoY SHAFT
(From Thursdays Daily.)


 Commencing in May, 1910, to sink on 6 per cent copper ore on the Tomboy mine, in the Castle Creek district, Mark Bradley, general man. ager of the Arizona Mines company, has a double compartment shaft down 250 feet with 9 per cent copper ore in the bottom. In addition to the copper the ore carries gold and silver, and a remarkable feature of the de- veiopment mas been the uniform in- crease of the values with depth. An other matter worthy of mention is the fact that since the work was started only one shift has been em- Ployed.
 MT. Bradley arrived here yesterday with samples from the bottom of the shaft; which he asd tested at a local laboratory. He was very agreeably surprised at the results. He says that it is the intention to continue sinking to the 450 foot level, where drifting and erosscutting will be commenced, He anticipates this depth will be well into the sulphide zone.
 The vein shows a width of forty feet on the surface. It is in a sehist and diorite contact. The shaft fol lows the footwall at an average dip of 40 degrees, and no crosscutting has been done, so that the size and

One Candidate Silent On *@Who is Putting Up''
 For Campaign
Alderman Says if There Is Revision 1t Will
 Be Downward

CHICAGO, H., March 10. - The price of gas in Chicago is the real issue, so far as the candidates for Mayor are concerned, the city ord inanee fixing the rate which Roger Sullivan's gas company can charge having expired. For the time being the company can charge any old price it thinks expedient and the city cannot say it nay. Wherefore, the fact that one candidate refuses to disclose "who is putting up" for his campaign is significant. It is well known that the sum runs into the hundreds of thousands. The ex- piratiOn of the part of the gas ord inanee last week was explained by the chairman of the gas and electric light committee of the council, Aid erman Pringle, in this way: "The S5 cent rate has expired and there is no new schedule ready to submit as yet. From tomorrow on until such schedule is adopted. there will be no fixed rate on gas. The new sehed- ule will not be long in coming through. If I were to predict, would make the time about a month hence. Revision downwards We'll, one might be safe in saying so, but at the same time I wouldn't want to be the one to make the statement this far in advance. If there is a revision it will be a revision down ward and 75 cent gas is certainly not an impOssibility."
 The gas company made net 40 per cent on it's annual receipts in 1910 of $15,539, ,349 at the s5 cent rate.

LOCAL OPTION
 ELECTION IS CALLED
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

(From Wednesdays Daily.) At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors, yesterday, favorable ae- tion was taken on the petition pre- sented by Rev. I. W. Mckay and Attorney N. A. Vyne for a local op- tion election to be held in the jus tiee of the peace precinct of Camp Verde, and April l was set as the date. The petition was signed by seventy residents of the district that is desired to be closed to the sale of liquors, and embraces an area of IA square miles of territory in that valley. Three polling places are designated in the order of the board, Camp Verde, Lower Verde and Mid dle Verde. It is said that an active campaign on behalf of the drys will begin immediately, and the qualified eleetor will be eligible if his name appears on the Great Register that was used in the recent Constitutional election. Two saloons are affected in the controversy. The vote of the Board was unanimous in authorizing the election.

During the past few months there has been a significant movement to revive several old and well known mines adjacent to Mayer, was the statement made yesterday by H. C.. Heffelman, who is in the city on business, and it is freely believed that the coming year will be a pros porous one in that large field.
 Speaking of the Midday work, that has been resumed lately, and in which he and Peter Giroux are interested, the striking of a rich body of silver ore a few days ago, in the face of the old tunnel, has been one of the best determinations ever made on that property. The Midday is on the same vein as the Great Peek, and from the character of the ore, it is practically of the same family, but not as rich as its famed neighbor. The new body was cut a few days ago, the discovery causing consider able excitement. The tunnel taps the vein at a depth of over $50 feet and the intention is to increase the force at once. Shipments are expected to commence in a short time.
 At the works of the Brooklyn-Ari- zona, MT. Heffelman states that a

 large force is employed in mine work and grading for the new shelter to be erected soon. During the last few weeks the best ore showing has been made in the history of the proposi- ton, and miners from the camp speak highly of the property.
 The Copper Queen company has let very large contract on its property, oD the Agua Fria, five miles from Mayer, consisting of a 1000 foot tunnel and other development. This will give a perfect system of exploit ation of the many claims, and when completed will give the greatest depth ever attained. w. J. Deam has secured the work and will begin operations immediately. Messrs. Goldman and Gooeh, of the company, are on the ground, and will remain indefinitely, arriving a short time ago from Texas. The property has been idle for several years and is close corporation.
 At other camps the situation is one of activity and it is practically settled fact that with the spirit prevailing and the interest manifest ed, there will be more work under way in the next few months than in many years.
