HEARING OF
LA PAZ CASE.
TESTIMONY IN CASE OF RESER
VATiON'S SOUTHERN BOUND
AIRY LINE WAS TAKEN AT PAR
KER LAST TUESDAY,.

Considerable testimony in the case
of the government against the New
La Paz. Gold Mining company was
taken before Notary Public c. w.
Graves last Monday. The entire
day was spent in introducing
documentary evidence on the part OF
the government, and in the eXami-
ration of about ten witnesses.
The case was started by the gov
ernment for the purpose of de-
definitely settling the disputed bound
airy line of the Colorado River IN
dian reservation. The final hear
ing is to come up before the register
and receiver of the Phoenix land
office about May l. Another hear
ing is to be held at Yuma next
Monday before Notary Public c. A.
L:nderman.
At the hearing held here Tuesday
Special Agent G. w. Comerford of
the general land office represented
the government and Attorney Peter
T. Robertson appeared for the de-
fendant, the New La Paz Gold Min
ing company.
John S. Armstrong, chief Of Indian
allotments, and John IT, r. Reeves,
chief clerk in Armstrong; depart
ment were here from Washington
20 testify in the case. Their testi-
mOny consisted largely in verifying
the executive orders relative to the
establishment of the reservation, and
certain. letters and papers connected
Herewith. Practically all Of the
papers presented in evidence We're
original documents, only few be-
ing verified copies of the original
A. F. Huntington, topographer in
charge of Indian alotments and sur
veys was also present at the hear
latest survey of the reservation,
made in 1911, and his testimony was
in relation to the reason for the re-
moval of the southern boundary line
from La Paz to point about three
miles south of that place. The
Strover survey, made in 1910, plac-
ed the line at La Paz, but it's re-
moval further south by the Dunning-
tOn-Harrington survey included the
valuable placer holdings of the New
La Paz Gold Mining company and
other mining property, which had
been supposed for years to be out
81 e of the reservation lines.
o. l.. Grimsley, president of the
NewI a Paz Gold Mining company,
was also present at the hearing
Among the witnesses were W. E.
Scott of Quartzsite and about a
dozen Mexicans living in that section
of the country. The Mexicans were
net very good witnesses for the
defendant, chiefly because a compe-
'nnt interpreter could not be secur-
ed
At the hearing to take place in
Yuma next Monday, it is claimed by
witnesses are to be examined on be-
half Of the defendant
The whole question appears to
hinge On which is La Paz arroyo
among the numerous arrOyoS running
down from the mountains in that vi
cinity. The prOclamations defining
the boundary in that part Of the
reservation all mention La Paz ar
1oyo and it has been an open ques-
ton among the various surveyors
who surveyed that portion of the re-
salve just where this arroyo is act
ualy located
The defendant claims that it is
located at or near the old town of
La Paz, while the government is
trying to show that the Dunnington-
Harrington survey agrees very close
ly with a former survey made some
time i'm tha '2O'S

HOSTING ORE WITH AUTO.

One of E. A. Green's passenger
autos is being used at the POpim
Mining and Milling company's mines
hauling ore out of the shaft. The
hoist cable is fastened to the rear
end of the machine and H. E. Bro
deur runs the auto back and forth
hauling the rock to the surface. The
depth of the shaft is about 120 feet.
The company expects to install an
engine soon, but in the meantime is
making good progress with the auto.
Recent assays of the ore in the shaft
showed as high as $3.50 in gold and
s. in silver. Several hundred shares
of stock have been sold locally dur
ing the past few days.

BLYTHE, Cal, March 2O.-New

the vicinity of Neighbours will bring
LOO acres of the best land in the
valley under water and there is every
Indication that water stock for this
entire acreage will he sold within
the next lew months.
The ditch contracts which were let
include over three miles of canals
Mcintyre and Talhert got the con-
tract tor one mile of this lteW work
and Robert Stevenson and associates.
two miles. The fresno outfits are
already working on the new bitches
and are under cOntraca to finish
before the middle of April. Several
hundred acres of land including
tracts owned by G. B. Reynolds, J.
Rennie, F. A. White, P. d. Mcintyre,
j. S. Talbert and others, all under
the new laterals, will be ready for
crops by the time the water is turned
in.
The work was delayed somewhat
by difficulty in getting right-of- ways
from hOmesteaders in that vicinity.
In some instances these held out for
certain concessions from the COM
pany, but in most cases signed up
when they found the company was
making no s,;ecial concessions.
The new canal is a continuation
of lateral C, being connected with the
present ditch at the quarter corner
between sections 1 and in T. 7,
S. R., % e. This ditch runs south
two miles to a branch of Blythe
slough which will be used as
spillway
These are the most important ad-
ditions to be made to the system
since the completion of the Rannelfs
ditch and are important because they
open up one of the finest districts i'm

is FINED FOR FLOODING ROADS

F. P. Corrigan, foreman Of the Mu
tual Water company grading crew,
was brought into court and fined a
nominal sum last Tuesday morning
on charge Of permitting irrigation
water at his ranch to flood the road.
The charge was sworn to by Floyd
Brown, who, with a crew of nine
men had spent four or five hours
the day previous getting one of the
big Saurer motor trucks across the
flooded section of the road
Mr.. Brown made the announcement
several days ago that he had been
to hundreds of dollars extra expense
Of boulevard ranchers in using their
irrigation water. He stated at that
time that the next offender would
have to answer before the court.
Mr.. Corrigan was the first unfortun
ale. He plead guilty to the charge,
paid his fine and told Brown to go
after them, that he didn't blame him
Ill the least for his action Corrigan
was local road supervisor at one time
and Well knows the expense and
trouble that has always followed care
less flooding of the highways.
In passing on the case Judge Walsh
stated that this was the first Offense
the amount of the fine would be light
but that it would go hard with future
offenders. Mr.. Brown expects to
see that the law regarding the care
less running of water into the roads
is strictly enforced as he has suffer
cd much loss of time and big eX
pense already as result of this I'M
lawful practice.

EIGHTY GIRLS DELIBERATELY
BURNED TO DEATH

st. Petersburg, June 19.-Believed
to have been enraged by the tactics of
the sugar planters in importing cheap
woman labor, villagers of the Piriatin
sugar beet district deliberately set
fire to a building where eighty girls
were sleeping, and burned them to
death, according to a dispatch from
Kief.
The doors were barricaded and the
women had no chance to escape.
Their frantic shrieks and prayers as
they beat on the doors and windows
could be heard above the roaring of
the flames.
Much cheap labor has been i'm
ported into this district of late, and
it is supposed that the men who set
fire to the building, which was a
dormitory occupied by women, chose
this method of revenge.

STORY OF RED CROSS SEAL

Nearly sl,5OO,OOO has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
five years, and yet many people do not
know how this charity stamp idea orig
mated.
Some Of your grandmothers first
played post office" with stickers sim
liar TO Red Cross Seals way back in
1862. when they conceived the idea of
selling stamps at fairs for the benefit
of the relief funds for the soldiers
hospitals in Brooklyn, Boston and
elsewhere Nearly 100000 was raised
in this way before 1865. After the war,
this method of raising money was dis
continued in this country for a genera
tion. although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland Austria, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia.
Sweden and other European countries.
There are now thousands of different
types of charity stamps used in all
parts Of the world, as many as forty
being used in Austria for children's
hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
