Mohave County miner., 1912-06-29

E. $. Osborne, one of the big mine owners of the Parker section, is in Kingman awaiting the arrival of min ing man. Mir. Osborne and his family at one time resided in Kingman and is we'll known to the business men of the town. He is one of the best rusterS in the State and we believe he shou d again enter the county and take a change in the mines. This county is one of the best all the year place for mining. there being no other like it in the whole State. and it is fact that here the mine owner gets his greatest reward in proven mines.

Two Soldiers Held in
Missing Diamond Case

William Welsh and Michael Stout,
two soldiers connected with the Third
Field Artillery at oIrrt Myer waived
examination when arralSned in the
United States branch Of the Police
Court today on a charge Of stealing a
diamond pin valued at $3.50 from Mar
tin j. Battle, n watchman employed
at the Treasury Department. The
men pleaded not guilty to the change
and were held in $500 bail each for
the action of the grand jury.
Sccording to the police Battle in
vited the two soldiers to his rooms at

GOVERNMENT CAN
NOW BUY PAINTING
OF GRANT AND LEE
Artist Shows Great Com.
manders Shaking Hands
at Appomattox.

An oil painting. eleven by sixteen feet,
showing Gen. u. 8. Grant and Gen
Robert Il. Lee shaking hands after the
surrender of the Confederate army at
Appomattox, has been offered for sale
to the United States Government by
william b. Matthews, a local attorney
The painting was done by Mr.. Mat
thews' brother, George e. Matthews, q
young artist, of Washington.
A bill authorizing the purchase of the
picture was introduced In the House of
Representatives by Congressman Charles
Bartlett Of Georgia, calling for an ap-
preparation Of 1000. 1t was referred to
the House Committee on Library, Of
which Congressman James L. Slayden
OF Texas is chairman, but as there are
several hundred other bills relating to
the purchase Of various pictures and
plans for monuments UP for considera-
ton It is rather unlikely that this one
will be reported out at this session.
While members Of the Committee on
Library would not discuss the likelihood
of the purchase Of the picture, It comes
from a reliable source that there is a
wide difference of opinion in the COM
mittee as to whether It should be bought
by the Government. It seems that the
one point of argument is centered on
the fact that the painting shows Grant
and Lee looking out into space while
they are shaking hands. Some members
of the committee likely will coptend
that the two great fighters should be
shown facing each other.
For a number of years a picture, such
as the one offered the Government. has
been desired by patriotic members OF
Congress. OF the hundreds of hand
some paintings In Washington none
shows the leaders OF the Blue and Gray
shaking hands.
But when the question OF the pur-
chase of the picture comes up for final
consideration on the part of the com
mittee. 1t Is more than likely that the
issue will be whether the men should
have been painted facing each other or
staring off into space.
The artist is young man originally
from Virginia, but now a resident of
Washington. He Is in his twenties. but
has been painting since but a small lad.

army mule has been indicated. He has,
rather indicated himself. In fair and
free for all contest against the auto
truck and instrument, or vehicle designed
we might say to get his goat, the mule
proved his right to remain in the Amer
lean army. They tried to Dust, but he
kicked-the mule may at all times be de-
pended upon to kick-and he made this
Kick both emphatic and effective.
The proposal to discharge the army
mule without a pension, without even an
honorable discharge, began to find sup
porters when the motor driven army
wagon first appeared upon the scene. 1t
was argued that the old order would nave
to give way to the new. and that the all
conquering automobile would certainly
relegate the mule to the rear. But they
reckoned without full knowledge of the
latent possibilities of thetmule. mule
is a very deceiving proposition. He is as
hard to fathom in his various moods and
lenses as his counterpart the Coon or
the senior senator from. Idaho. He is
sometimes grossly misunderstood; this IS
because in spite of a long and close as

a swift and sudden jolt with iron shod
foot somewhere in the region of your
carbureter, and you will land in the next
county. where YOU can leisurely contem-
plate the deceptive qualities of the mule.
But to get back to his contest with the
auto truck, the question was decided in
favor of his muleship in recent transpor-
tetion contests in Iowa over rough roads.
The mule won. Whatever his faults are,
the mule can and will pull. He has
never Shown any great fondness for
work, but he can perform and does SO
effectively when there is no way to get
around it.
The race between the mule and the
auto trucks in some respects recalled
the memorable one between the hare
and the tortoise though not even the
mules most bitter enemies will assert
that he is in any respects like the tor
toise. but there is no disputing the fact
that in speed he does not equal the auto
truck when conditions are favorable to
the latter. The mule was clearly out
classed in speed. But it was dependa-
bility that finally won for him, though
that is one thing for which he has been
given scant credit. While his gasoline
consuming rivals failed to negotiate
hills, or got their sparkling plugs
guEmed over rough, muddy cross roads,
the long cared consumer of oats and hay
with his ever ready left hind foot in good
working order to kick a personal friend
off the landscape, arrived at his destina-,
ton and delivered the goods and thereby
Retained his position. ii
Therefore, the mule remains in the
army. He has been hard working pub

to lave discharged him, without char
acter. There is then, some satisfaction
