BIG AUTOMOBILE
 FREIGHTERS IN KINGMAN
(Mohave County Minerl

Yesterday there was unloaded at Kingman from two flat ears two of the largest freighting automobile trucks ever built. The weight of the machines running light is in excess of ten tons. These machines were built and brought to Kingman by the Great Western Transportation com pany for the purpose of trying them out on the flat and hill country sur rouE.ling this place. The cars were set up and moved of under this own power as soon as they reached the ground from the ears.
 Eight men accompanied the ma chimes for the purpose of demonstrat- ing and operating the machines. These men are W. M. Trout, of the Trout Auto and Livery Company, one of the largest livery concerns of Chi cago, Isaac s. Shirley, H. M. Wilcox, s. B. George, Joe Mickle, Bert Knapp, and J. E. Armstrnog. These men are all capable of assisting in various capacities in the trying out of the machines and are interested in their success.
 The machines are equipped with a battery of gasoline engines, direct connected to generators and have a normal horse power of ninety and when turned up will develop two hun dred horse power. The machine is operated by direct link belt and sprocket from each of the motors and haee wonderful driving power. As the load will be practically over the rear wheels the tonnage will add traction to the machine.
 Over the flat country the machine will make is own road, although some time will be consumed on the first trip to Gold Road, as it is proposed to cut away from the old wagon road and make an independent road over the valley to Little Meadows, from which point the road over the noun tain will be widened and made pass ible for the machines. The machines | have a width of nearly two feet over the ordinary wagon road, but as they make their own road this will be no ietriment. The wheels have massive

Los Angeles Capital Is Backing Promising
 Enterprise
Power For Pumping To Be Furnished By
 Big Plant

PHOENIX, Ariz., April "A con tract for furnishing electric power for pumping water to be used in irrigat- ing 2,000 acres of land located three miles south of Salome will probably be closed soon by E. s. Osborne, rep resenting the Los Angeles capitalists who have negotiated the contract The company, made up of five of the most responsible and best known business men of the coast, has all ready been given a contract to fur nish water for 5000 acres in Wenden- dale township, adjacent to Salome
 Investigations and surveys have been made near Salome and in Wen dendale during the last nine weeks with a view to determining the re- liability of the water supply, and the depth at which it would be found, also for the purpose of drawing ditch and canal plans for the various prop critics which will be included in the contract. The investigations have shown that water is found on the lands near Salome at a depth of from II to 95 feet, and it is the in tention of the company to establish a system of 16-inch wells in steel casing from which water will be brought up by centrifugal pumps run by electric motors. Power will be furnished from the central plant. Teams and laborers are already on the 2OOO acres signed up to the company breaking ground in a place selected as the site for the new power house. Construction work will be pushed steadily and it is expected that the plant, an oil burning engine of S5- horsepower with large dynamo and all necessary electrical eontrivanees, will be ready to furnish power in a few months time. The power of the sta tion now under construction will be inadequate for the irrigation of 5000 acres, but it is the plan of the com pany to increase the size of the power house.

Leads Bride to Altar To Perfect Title To
 Homestead
Filing is Allowed After Marriage Ceremony
 Is Performed

DOUGLAS, Ariz., April 7.-Theo- dore Willis Wood is now not only the pOssessOr of handsome bride, but is also the possessor of homestead land entry, and the possession of both land and wife has brought eongratu- lations from his friends and aequaint- anees. MT. Wood was married yes terday to Miss Moody of this city, daughter of Frank Moody, a we'll known citizen. This marriage had been arranged by the young people some time ago, but was being delay ed until MT. Wood should reach the age of 21 years. But last week when ne went to the office of United State. Commissioner Albert NJ. Sames to perfect an entry for a homestead of land west of the city, which had been relinquished by a former holder, he found that to take land from the gov ernment a man must either be 21 years old or be the head of a family. On Saturday MT. Wood could meet neither of these requirements, and there the land entry was blocked.
 But this obstacle was one which it occurred to MT. Wood might be over come in a case of dire necessity, so he hiked to the presence of his fance and after the situation was ex- plained it was agreed that the mar riage should not be longer delayed, and yesterday the ceremony was per formed in due form in the presence of few friends and the family of the bride.
 Monday morning the first one to appear in the office of Commissioner Sames was Theodore Willis Wood, ac- companied by his blusning bride and a marriage certificate, which was suf- fcieut to meet the requirements of Uncle Sam in granting homestead filing.

 It is believed that when the roads have been put in prime condition each machine will have a haulage capacity of twenty tons, and VII be able to readily climb Gold Road hill with that tonnage.
 The machine is new type, only these two having been built. As the test proceeds observation will be kept and any change that condition may suggest will be noted and made and when the machine is demonstrated a complete success they will be put on the market. One of the machines is capable of making eight miles per hour and the other six and one-half miles, loaded for the road.

Four Foot Body of Ore Recently Opened In
 Lower Tunnel
Over Thousand TonSNow On Dump Ready For
 Treatment
(From Saturdays Daily)

Fred Vierthaler, in charge of the Starbuck mines on Slate Creek owned by Major A. J. Pickrell, who arrived from the camp yesterday afternoon, states that the reports in circulation of the opening of a new and high grade body of silver ore in the lower tunnel are true. The pay streak averages four feet in width and the shoot was cut few days ago in the face of the 1900 foot tunnel The find Is cnsidered the most important yet made in the property.
 In speaking of the past operation of this property, MT. Vierthaler states that while but little publicity has been given the development, there is no question but what the mine will develop into large producer. Over 1000 tons of a good grade of milling ore are on the dump, while the ore bodies in the hundreds of feet of openings assure a permanent output for many years.
 The Starbuek is opened by three tunnels, one at the upper point in the original workings, and the other two at lower elevation. The lower one has reached point over 1900 feet into the mountain, while the middle tunnel is in about 600 feet. All three openings follow the vein. Mir. Vierthaler states that it is his belief Chat the best camp of the future in that belt is assured at the Starbuck Snterests. While it is reported that a reduction plant is being talked of as a probability soon, he would neith- CT deny nor affirm that statement, but said that with the splendid show Sng it was his opinion that such movement was justified by what had been proven in the past four years and what had been demonstrated in the last few weeks.

LEASING SYSTEM
 MAY REVIVE TOMBSTONE

TOMBSTONE, Ariz., April 6.-The prediction has been freely made that Tombstone would soon nave more men working in the district than any other time in the past few years and if the plans of Frank M. Murphy are carried out, within three months this prediction will be verified as it appears to be the plan of MT. Murphy and associates to give leases for the various upper workings of the com pany's properties on what is known as the sliding scale, that is the ehlor- iders are to pay a royalty in propor- tion to the values of the ores shipped, based on the shelter returns.
 Outside of the different leases granted by the company, on some seventy-six claims, many independent claims are being worked.
 The Walker claim on which a ledge of silver has been uncovered, running several thousand ounces of horn sil- yer to the ton, is showing up well and promises to be a bonanza. The Hersnall mine is working a full force of miners and continues to ship it's share of ore to the smelters each week.
 The Bisbee Extension people, who have taken over the Galvez mines in this district, have five men at work and will shortly increase the number. Shipments are already being made from this property of siIver-lead ore.

Thousand Dollar Reward Offered For Their
 Capture
Fourth Similar Robbing Since Latter Part
 Of January

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April :. - While numerous deputy sherifs, de- tectives and secret agents of the Paei- fc Electric Company are searching the city and its suburbs for trace of the two bandits who held up and rob bed the crew and passengers of a Glendale care near Monte Vista sta tion Tuesday night, securing more than $7OO, the youths are still at large.
 Yesterday the Pacific Electric con- pany offered a reward of 5000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the bandits. Of this $500 will be given for information leading to the arrest and conviction of either of the robbers. In the same connection the Pacific Electric com pany publishes a full description of the young men.
 This is the largest reward ever offered by the company for the arrest of a hlghwayman. The alarming in- crease in the number of noldups on the different ear lines led to the re- ward being offered
 January 25 a Los Angeles-Paeifc electric ear was held up at Tokio sta tiOn. February 13 a West Seventh street car was held up at Seventh and Rampant street and the conductor, G. G. Johnson, was injured. March F Garvanza ear was held up at Buena Vista street bridge.
 In summing up the situation Chief of Police C. E. Sebastian said yes terday evening that no new elew that might lead to the arrest of the bandits mad been found, but he in- timated that Detectives Jones and Boyd, who are working on the case, expected to land some definite in formation pertaining to the case with in twenty-four hours.
 eff the bandits had taken any of the personal property of the passen- gers," said the chief, Cit would not be such a hard matter to get some elew that might lead to their dis eovery. So far as we know, nothing but money was taken, unless there was some one among the passengers who has not reported. If there is anyone among the passengers from whom any personal property was taken, we hope to locate them. That would help us materially. But, in the meantime, we are working hard on the case in the hope that we will finally apprehend the men"
 The police and the detectives hold to the theory that the robbers took a ear to the city immediately after the holdup. and arrived in the city's business district by the time the alarm was given. Despite the fact that the work of planning and exc cutting the holdup was eleverly ear ried out, the police hold to the belief that the young men are amateurs at the game, while the sheriff office says it was the work of experts, whether old or young.

Her eyes are like two dancing stars
and in their clear depths you can see
where the Heavenly blue morning

IN her radiant hair is the riotuos
color of Autumn leaves and golden
shadows play softly among the curl
ing locks which lovingly caross her
soft white shoulders.
The garden roses envy the carmine
Of her lips, and sigh because they
cannot match the soft color Of her
cheeks, from which one roguish dim
pie flashes in and out like I.b0 quick

Behind her ruby lips, her small
white teeth sparkle like Irregular bits
Of polished ivory and peep in and out
from their crimson curtains, just
playing hide and seek.
She comes to your EMBEDDING arms
a Veritable bundle Of vital, pulsi1g,
bubbIng life and joy, and with
kiss she tells you OF her love.
