Nothing but Instinted praise is heard from those who have seen James Halleck Reids most success Iul play "1he Confession which viii be presented at the Elks theatel under the auspices of the local coun. cil of Knights of Columbus, Monday, October '.
 The following letter was written by ". J. sirdewau, of Titusyille, Pa, to John T. Pearsal, manager of the company:
 T had the pleasure of attending last evening, the performance of your play, "The Confession given under the auspices Of our ;Council. The audience was captiVated by it's in tense, absorbing interest and dra- matic situations.
 There we're many pathetic scenes enacted, but still vein of humor throughout the performance that moved the audience from tears one moment to laughter the next.
 @The doctrine of the Catholic Church on the solemnity and in violabiIity Of the confession is so accurately and reYently portrayed as to most deeply impress Catholics, who understand it's meaning, and al- so OUT non-Catholic friends, who, perhaps heretofore, have not had all oppertunity ef receiving so iiaDres siYc and powerful lesson.
 "YoHr court scene is handled in a most admirable manner. Iii fact there is nothing in the play that de serves the slightest adverse criticism. On the contrary, it's unusual charac- ted and theme, it's eleVatins natrro and influence of the stage for good is not declining hut that t is still q powerful instrument when placed in the hands of an experienced and talented troupe such as yours.

Big Strike in Cash Mine.

Lying alongside of the great tunnel of the Commercial Mining company in Hassayampa district, commonly known as the Senator tunnel. are the claims of the Cash Mining Company. This tunnel penetrates a very high noun tain, and was run with view to open- ing up the many veins having d strike nearly parallel with the tunnel By agreement with the owners of the Senator tunnel. the Cash company has been running a crosscut to tap its workings, said cross-cut beginning in the Senator tunnel at a point about 1900 feet from the mouth, and there- fore atfording great depth. The Cash company, in making the cross-cut, en- countered small streak of ore which they followed, and we are informed that the streak has widened gradually until now it has assumed the propor- tions of bonanza. It is said that it is blind ledge, and that the ore streak opened up is six feet in width and that the ore averages at least 35S per ton. The cross-cut to tap the Cash vein proper is being continued, and it is stated that it is the purpose of the management to continue the cross. cut until the entire width of two claims has been exploited bv that means.-Pi escott Courier.

Tom Reed Gold.

Last Monday general manager $. s. Jones brought in from the Tom Reed mill three bars of bullion weighing 420 pounds avoirdupois, and valued at 9O,0OO$, the result of the May cleanup of the mill. During May the mill had only been running ten stamps of the thirty, which indicates the richness of the ore. The company is getting things in shape to increase the ton mage of the mill and necessarily in- crease the output of gold.
 At the mine the force of men has been cut to the necessary timbermen and mechanics, while the work of in- stalling the big electric holster is un- der way. The shaft is also to be strengthened and the collar reinforced. The new holster is to have double the capacity of the old steam hoist. When work is again resumed on the mine the output of ore will be doubled. The purchase of the Neglected group of mines make it possible to operate all the stamps, the new property furnishing the necessary water supply. It is expected that it will take at least three weeks to make the changes in the shaft, and during that time the mill will be run on dumps and the tailings pits of the old mill.

H. B. Kohl, travelling passenger agent of the Santa Fe, Prescott X PheniX railroad, was in Kingman this week distributing advertising matter of the Prescott Chautauqua. The pro- gram of this first session of the Chau- tauqua is of wide interest bringing men and women noted in the fields of music, economies, science and theo- logy. Prescott is an ideal place for the meeting and the people of that delightful city are to be congratulated on their energy and good sense in the selection of the program and those that will make up it's principal featur- es. The railroads have made an at tractive rate to Prescott and it is probable that many will take advaL- tage of it.

Colorado River Breaks
 Through Levee.

On the Sd of June the Colorado river broke through the big levee that had been built by the Cotton Land company to reclaim thousands of acres of fertile lands In the Mohave valley, and despite the united effort of many men the entire valley was inun, dated and two hundred acres of the finest alfalfa were destroyed. One hundred acres of the land under alfal- fla belonged to D. M. Martin and the other 100 acres to the Cotton Land company. Mr. Martin had been cut ting the alfalfa when he was forced to desert the place. L. H. Foster, en- gineer for the Cotton Land company, was in Kingman Wednesday last on hls way from the valley to his home, there being nothing further to be done at that point until the subsistence of of the river in August, when an effort will be made to build the dike suf ficiently strong to withstand the in
 
 roads of the river at flood stage It is also purpoted to build the canal at a safe distance from the embankment to enable the people in charge to observe any leakage through the dke. The government is also to build an outer dike to give further protection to the company's embankments.
 This company has spent several hundred thousand dollars on this pro- ject and that the dike failed to with stand the encroachment of the Colo rado river is to be deplored, but they have gained knowledge and it is to be hoped that thls know wledge will be of benefit to them in further com batting this treacherous stream. The lands that have been put under irrigation have shown the wonderful productive quality of the soil and once the river is controlled thousands of acres of the richest lands on earth will be brought under cultivation.

State Tax Board
 Raises Assessments.

This week County Assessor F. l.. Hunt received notice from the State Tax commission requiring him to in crease the number of cattle given in by the local cattlemen and to also raise the value of stocks of goods given in by a number of the local merchants. The raise of cattle runs from p head to more than 200 head, and even this raise is said by many of tbe knowing ones to be but slight jolt to that received by them when the State board really gets down to work It appears to be the intention of the State Tax Commission to get at the approximate value of the cattle and other holding in the various counties and then try to get the state tax some- where within reasonable proportions. The railroads will be treated in like manner, it being understood that the Santa Fe will be compelled to come in with a tax rate of 3O,0O0S per mile, as will also the Southern Pacific. This rate would give the company taxable property of nearly 4,00O,000$ in this county, which with the other property would run our property lstment to nearly 1000, ,0O0S. By doing this the county would be able to materially cut the tax levy to a point below three cents on the dollar.

It is reported that an excellent road may be built from the present wagon road east of Blackberry to a connection with the Yavapai county road. This would give the automobil- over the best route in the State. With the building of the road it is proba ble that many Prescott people would mo- tor to Kingman and kingman people would take the same mode of convey ance to Prescott.

The people of the mining counties of the State and especially Mohave county, should prepare the necessary petitions to invoke the referendum on the mining bill recently passed by the Arizona legislature. The measure not only is an injustice to the mine owner that is desirous of having his property developed, but it strikes at the life of contracts. No man owning mining property that he holds in high regard will take a chance on bonding, leasing or optioning while this law is on our statute books. It is difficult enough now to get mining men to take up undeveloped property, and when tied down by bonds or restrictions are more than likely to pass up the best of mining propositions. By the cut ting down of development work min CTS will be injured as much as even the mine owner.
