During the past thirty days the
Mutual Water company through di
rectors, A. l.. HObson and H. c.
DoWnes has sold stock for nearly
1000 acres of land which is to be
cultivated and put in crops at once
The greater part of this stock has
been sold in the vicinity Of Neigh
hours where four miles Of new
canals are practically completed.
The new stockholders have for the
most part completed the clearing
and leveling of the land for which
water has been purchased and many
Of Them are already seeding cotton
and alfalfa to the new acreage.
The movement on the part of a
number of Neighbours settlers to
organize Il seperate district several
weeks ago has been practically al
anduned and some of the leaders in
this movement have negotiat ted with
the Mutual Water company for the
purchase Of stock for their land.
The terms Of sale provided by the
directors Of the company have made
it possible for settlers to come into
the company and secure stock in ex-
change for land This provision en-
ables entrymen to invest their linn
tied capital in clearing and leveling
the land and secure their water
stock with practically no cash out
lay.
The fact that the Mutual Water
is now in a position to de-
liver water as fast as needed for
all the valley and the service is of

MAY SEND MAN
TO CAPITAL
SENATOR ASHURST WRITES
THAT THERE IS GOOD CHANCE
TO PASS PARKER BILL DURING
SPECIAL SESSION.

That there is a strong probability
of getting a bill providing for the
opening of the Colorado River In
dian reservation under the state
and national Carey land acts through
congress during the special session
is the opinion of Senator Henry F.
Ashurst in a recent letter received by
\ s Prescott
Mr. AshurSt states that he believes
the bill will pass, and that the en-
tire Arizona delegation intends to de-
vote much of their time during the
next few weeks in working to get
the measure through both houses.
Practically the same bill, which was
introduced last January in the sixty
second congress, will be reintroduced
at once if it has not already been
done before this article appears. A
few slight changes. recommended by
the department Of the interior in
it's report on the former bin, will be
made to conform with the sugges-
tions of the department.
The matter OF sending a represen-
tative from Phoenix to Washington
has been discussed more or less for
the past few weeks among the peo-
pie here. The concensus of opinion
appears to favor sending a represen-
1ative, and it is likely that a move
ment will be started in a few days
fer the purpose of raising a fund to
defray the necessary expenses of the
man to be sent.
There is no doubt but that an ac
credited representative of the people
of Parker would do much to hasten
the passage of the bill While this
paper is convinced that all of the
members of the Arizona delegation
have done and are doing everything
within their power TO secure legisis:
ton which win open the lands of the
reservation, it appears to us that
man from Parker right on the job
would have salutary influence, not
only on departmental officials, but
also on the committees which will
have the bill under consideration
Now is the time to act in this
matter if anything is to be done at
this session of congress. Mr. Ashurst
suggests that if a man is TO be sent
to Washington that he arrive there
about May l, so there is little time
tc lose in making preparations

DEATH ENDS
SUFFERINCS
JOHN GILL, WHO WAS INJURED
AT SWANSEA DIES AT PRES
coTT HOSPITAL FROM INTER
NAL iNJURlES--SAD ACCIDENT.

John Gill. the Dung miner who
was injured at Swansea about ten
days ago, died Thursday of last week
at Mercy hospital, Prescott. The
deceased was a nephew of Superin-
tendent H. p. Hughes, whose son was
killed a few months ago by falling
down shaft at Swansea.
Particulars of the unfortunate ac-
cident reached Parker this week.
The young man was descending the
main working shaft, but when a
point below was reached the skip be
came caught on some projection in
the shaft and refused to move
ln the meantime and before the
signal to the surface was given the
slack cable was over thirty-five feet
long, and without thinking of the
cGde Of signals for the time being,
Gtll rang to the surface to be lowered.
In an instant the skip left its moor
ing and fell to the length of the slack
ed cable with a terrific force that re
suited III the sad accident
Gill was accustomed to mine sig
mails, but for the moment seemed to
have been confused over the skip
stopping at a point that was not
his destination. Had he signalled to
the engineer to be raised the slack
cable would have been picked up,
and the accident averted.
While both his legs were fractured
below the knee in two places, the
cause OF death is said to have been
from internal injuries to his chest.
An operation failed to afford relief,
and the end came as expected. His
remains We're shipped to Orange. Cal
for burial.
Gill was young man of less than
thirty years OF age and was born in
england, where relatives reside. Mr..
Hughes, his uncle, the superintendent
OF the mine, was running the
hoist at the time, and is deeply af-
fected over the loss of his nephew.

NOW IN BAD
A. e. MACOMBER OF RANNELLs
CONTRACTS TO LOCATE SET.
TIERS IN COLORADO RIVER IN
DIAN REsERVATION.

A. f. Macomber of Rannells, Cal,
is a twentieth century promoter, if
reports Of his recent promotions are
true. Macomber, according to these
reports, undertakes to contract with
settlers to locate them on lands in
the Colorado River Indian reserva-
ton.
In recent letter to a party living
at Parker, the Rannells promoter
states that he has entered into con-
tracts with various persons agreeing
to locate them in the reserve. Just
how he intends to fulfill his part of
the contract is not known. and if he
is able to come through with the pro-
position he should experience no diff
ficulty in annexing quite a little roll
against the arrival of hot weather in
the Palo Verde Valley, and said roll
would come in quite convenient to
spend a summers vacation at some
seaside resort
This same Macomber attempted
to pull off a similar stunt in Los
Angeles last summer. According to
our informant Macomber stated that
he was in with Senator Ashurst on
The deal, and with the senator's as
distance he was able to locate peo-
ple in the reserve at very small
cost When Senator Ashurst was in
formed Of the matter he wrote
Macomber a scorching letter, and
threatened to bring him into the
court; for his Misrepresentation
Now the gentleman is apparently
working the same game, according to
copy Of a letter written to Macom
Der by Senator Ashurst under date
of March 81, 1913. The letter fol-
lows:

PUMP WATER
ON THE MESA
32-HORSE POWER PLANT install
LED NEAR MESAVlLLE BY
SHUCk AND SCHWE
is BIG SUCCESS.

MESAVILLE, Cal, April 1O.-The
successful operation of the big
pumping plant installed on the
mesa by D. D. Shuck, Wayne Shuck
and Julius Schwerdtfeger- has proven
conclusively that the irrigation of
the 250000 acres OF land on the
Palo Verde mesa and in the Chuck
aWalla valley by power is both pos
sible and practicable.
The plant was completed last week
and an initial run made on Friday. A
large number of valley and mesa set
tiers were present and all were en-
thusiastic over the success of this
project
The pump is now flowing 80 inches
of water and is capable of increasing
this to 40 inches. Shuck and
SchWerdtfegear are preparing their
land and will put in 40 acres at
once. The crops to be tried this
season are beans 10 acres, cotton
Is acres, alfalfa 1 acre and fruits and
other crops, 12 acres Several acres
of kaffir corn will be planted.
The pumping plant represents an
investment of about $4,000 and the
equipment includes 32-h. p. Fair
banks-Morse engine, Pomona deep
we'll pump, 2S-head and a 14-inch we'll
$40 feet deep. The first strata of
water was encountered at the 204-
foot level The bottom of the cylin-
der is 252 feet down The tempera-
ture of the water as it comes from
the ground is 81 degrees.
The installation of this pump has
laid aside all doubt as to the pos
sibility of securing good water in
sufficient quantity to irrigate the
mesa land Other mesa entrymen
heave watched the project with much
interest and plans are now being
laid for many similar plants to be
installed within the next two years
Mesa and Chuckawalla entrymen
have practically given up hope of Sc
curing Colorado river water for their
land until the storage dams in the
upper Colorado, provided for in the
Newlands bill, are erected, and as it
Will be several years before this can
be done even after the bill is pass
ed, 1t will be necessary for the desert
entrymen to put in pumping systems
III order to prove up. The tWo-year
extension just granted by congress
will postpone this work few
but the entrymen hold out
little hope for further extension at
the end of the two years.
Shuck and Schwerdtfeger have had
many difficulties to overcome in the
of this plant. The long
haul from the railroad has added
much to the expense and the cost
of operating the plant will be high
on this account, but those who know
the productiveness of the Palo Verde
mesa soil are confident that it will
be paying proposition from the
start.
