Northern Yuma County.

Will Despair. of Bouse who is here
for few days visit, brings news that
the advance in the price of copper is
stimulating the mining industry in
the northern part of this county.
The Undersbach mine, located ten
miles southwest of Bouse is likely to
b purchased by syndicate of capt.
talists. who propose to get to work on
it in the near future. Geo. Mitchell,
of Swansea. had a working bond on
the property some time ago and in
stalled considerable machinery, but
for some cause abandoned it. This
machinery is in good condition and
but very little addition to the plant
will be required to begin operations.
Bouse and McMahn who have been
developing a claim near the Little
Butte, which is four miles from Bouse,
and at the depth of 30 feet in the shaft
have struck a rich ledge four feet in
width.
1t is the general belief that work on
the Clara Consolidated property is to
be resumed shortly, with foreign
capital. A meeting of the stock
holders is to take place in Prescott
the coming Tuesday and important
developements are expected. Yuma

Redmen Celebrate.

Washington's Birthday was httingly
celebrated by the Hualapai Tribe OF
Imp. Order of Red Men, at Elks Opera
House. last Thursday evening. The
hall had been handsomely decorated
with the colors of the order and the
stars and stripes were everywhere in
view.
An appropriate program had been
prepared by the officers and members
of the order, and everybody had been
invited to be present and take part In
the ceremonies. At the hour of eight
O'Clock the hall was filed to the doors.
The first number on the program
was a violin solo by Fred Lydy. Mr..
Lvdy is a vIolinist of merit and his ex-
ecutiou of the difficult number was re-
ceived with applause. Sachem Van
Marter delivered an address on the
subject of a "Sun Memorial" that was
well received.
The vocal solo, "Star Spangled Ban
ner," by Miss Lena Ca>tell brought
fourth enthusiasm from the great audi
ence and she received rounds of ap-
plause.
F. p. Andreas delivered the eulogy,
the subject being The Immortal
George Washington. The speaker also
delivered an Grafton on ''Our Country
the Land of the Free, and also recit-
ed the poem 'Our Flag. He was APP
plauG.d thranghoui the delivery of all
the subjects.
Charles J. Hutchinson sang vocal
solo and the audience called him back
and e brought forth great applause
when he sang the song Our Own Dear
Arizona.
Miss Gertrude Miller sang a vocal
solo, Elaine, and the audience would
not he appeased until she sang another
beautiful song.
After the audience joined in the sing.
ing of that patriotic old air "Our
/ Country lis of Thee, the audience
was dismissed until the floors could be
cleared for dancing. And the dance
went on until the small hours of the
morning. This was the first public
/ function of the Redmen and that it was
a success is attested by every body that
was present.

Democratic Primaries.

According to the agreement reached
at a meeting of the democratic State
Committee a state wide primary is to
he held in Arizona for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the Baltimore
convention. Six delegates will be
selected, the state to be divided into
six districts. Indications are that the
majority of the delegates will be for
Champ Clark, but there appears to be
a strong sentiment in the party for
Gov. Harmon. II is generally con-
coded that Harmon carries the great
est strength in the east and that he
will be very strong candidate.
There will be quite fight between
the Roosevelt progressives and the
Taft men in the state for the delegates
to the national convention. but it Is
probable that the state committee will
elect the delegates on the ground of
exDediency. The state committee Is
strongly for Taft, 1t is said. But on
the other hand the Roosevelt men will
make the election of delegates a state
affair and if they carried the state the
national convention would surely seat
them, as they would be the choice of
the people. The Roosevelt feeling in
AriZona.is strong.

Louis Kingman, the engineer after
whom the town of Kingman was named
died at the general hospital in the City

Mr.. Kingman was chief engineer of
the old Atlantic & Pacific, now the

through New Mexico and Arizona,

John L. Riggs, of Chloride, is pre-
pairing a sketch of the killing of the

Mineral Park, in the early sixties,
and it will be published in the MINER

of the early settlers of the county and
is much interested in the preservation
of its early history. He is writer of
ability and his stories of early life in
the territory will be worth reading.

At the meeting of the board of sup
ervisors of this county, held last Mon
day, the officers whose duty it is to SUP
press crime, were notified to ridigidly
enforce the law relating to gambling
and the frequenting of saloons by
women. In conformity with the law

will be at once sent to all saloons and
saloon keepers of the county notifying
them that drastic action will he taken
for any infraction of the law. Gambl-
ing in the comfy has been widespread
and it has drawn i 4 many undesirable
people that the county can well afford
to lose. The non-producers have no
place in the body polite of Mohave
county and the sooner they are gotten
rid of the better il will be for the
whole people. Many people may er-

building of good roads the increase of
taxable property would cut the rate to
such an extent that the issue of bonds
would imp )se no greater hardship on

Alcohol in Pe-ru-na-
An Unjust Criticism

Five per cent would be one-twenti-
eth. As each pint contains sixteen
ounces you were then taking a little
less than an ounce of alcohol before
each meal"
YES"
But you objected to your mothers
taking alcohol in the Peruna, and yet
she was taking far less alcohol than
you were As understand it. the dose
Of Peruna is one tablespoonful Sup
posing it to be twenty per cent aIco-
hoi. there would be in each dose one
fifth of a tablespoonful of alcohol.
which would be about half a teaspoon
full, while you were taking at least
four teasDOonfuls Of alcohol in your
bottle of beer. And yet you objected
to your mothers taking Peruna on the
ground that the Peruna contains alcO-
hOl- In my opinion 1t was the alcO-
hoI that cured both Of you Your mOth-
er evidently was cured OF very seri-
Gus ailment- Peruna contains alcohol
It was undoubtedly the alcohol that
cured her. or at least helped to. The
other ingredients OF Peruna might have
assisted, no doubt did In your case It
was the alcohol in the beer that cured
you Of the stomach Difficulty. Peruna
has cured thousands Of such cases"
Well / declare" he replied, I never
thought OF it in that way before.
There has been so much said about al
cohol being poisonous that I suppose
my mind has been prejudiced against
it But II as you say there IS also al
cohoI in beer. the same kind of alco-
hOl as is used in Peruna, I cannot see
where the difference is myself
well" I replied, you have been do
ing exactly what the average man and
woman is doing. You have allowed
your mind to become prejudiced against
Peruna on account of its containing al
cchol Without stopping to look into
the matter at all you have assumed
that there is something terribly dis
reputa Bile about remedies containing al
cOhOl The fact is. however that most
all fluid medicines, whether prescribed
by a doctor OF put up as a patent medi-
cine, contain certain amount of alco-
hol It was alcohol that cured your
mother. It was alcohol that cured you
In my opinion, alcohol in some form
or other is making more cures than
all other drugs combined This is not
saying, however, that Peruna contains
only alcohol for it does contain
excellent remedies besides alcohol
But do contend that the alcohol
in Peruna is not only not harm
full to those who take it. but II taken
in the doses prescribed on the bottle
it will do a great deal of good and
there is not the slightest danger OF
