PLACING MINING STOCK

Geo. w. Long of the United East
ern Mining company, has been in
Kingman several days this week
placing stock of that corporation with
local people Within a few hours
last Tuesday $4,000 worth of the
stock was sold at the cellar price of
25 cents per share. 1t is the inten-
tion to place on the market enough
of the stock at this figure to equip
the mine and to do the initial work,
when the shares will be advanced to
a higher figure. Those who have
investigated the property have in
vested in the company shares and are
enthusiastic over the showing in the
Tom Reed Extension. This is one of
the big veins of the district, and is
considered to have the main Tom
Reed vein. The directors of the com
pany have closed up the deal with
Jimmy Mcconnell and Joe ParizzO,
the old owners of the Tom Reed Ex-
tension, the gentlemen coming in
from Gold Road Tuesday last to sign
up the papers. 1t is expected that
work of equipping the mine will be
under way within the next two weeks

COPPER MINE LEASED

A Prescott, Ariz., despatch says
The Harris Copper company has exc
cuted a ten year lease of three claims
of the group, situated in Black Can
yon, to Wilson Foster of Los Angeles
Cal. The lessee is required to spend
in two years a total of at least $2O,-
900 in development, and the company
is to receive from the gross output
a royalty of Is per cent.
This deal is considered in mining
circles as quite an important one,
the property being a producer last
year, and several hundred tons being
shipped to smelters. The long haul
to the railroad at Beardsley was a
disadvantage in economically han

HEAVY RAINS

That heavy rains have fallen over
large extent of the watershed
north of Roosevelt to such an extent
as to make roads in that section i'm
passable was the news brought in
last evening by motorcyclists from
near Payson and other points, says
Mondays Republican.
One party en- route to Payson was
forced to turn back owing to the con
dition of the road, and reported that
heavy rains had fallen on Saturday
evening as well as Sunday morning
These rains were general over that
portion Of the watershed, and will
undoubtedly result in an increase in
the stored water supply at Roosevelt.
Travellers from Prescott report heavy
rains around the mile high city, and
to the east, and Sunday afternoon the
Aqua Fria was to be crossed only on
therailroad bridge north of Peoria.

REPORT A GOOD TIME.

Those who attended the big do

people from every part OF the state.
The literary program was fine and
complete, and the exercises at the

There were riding, coping, steer bull

THE DIFFERENCE

Mr.. Ne Poon Chew, editor of the
Chinese American daily paper
of San Francisco, recently said,
speaking before the City Club of Chi
cago: The opium question is a very
very serious one. 1t is just like the
whisky question in this country, ex-
cept that in China We have the will
to abolish the opium, but by reason
of limitations by other foreign coun-
tries We have not the power whereas
in America you have the power to
abolish the whisky, but you do not
have the will. There is also this diff
ference between opium and whisky.
Whisky arouSes a mans animal in
stincts and makes him an unreason-
able brute opium deadens his sensi-
bilities and lessons his vitality and
transforms him into a living corpse.
An American whisky drinker goes
home and kicks his wife, and an
opium fiend goes home and his wife
kicks him. l wonder if that is the
reason the great American people
prefer whisky to opium?"

AMI NAL AFFECTION

A littlt incident happened Last
week which goes to show the strong
and almost pathetic filial affection
SOME dumb. animals have for their
young The white mare of A. l..
Preston of Parker was taken and
tied in the barn by T. A. Woodruff
and her colt was left out in the cor
raj The mare became very uneasy
for her colt and when left alone she
broke the halter strap, beat down
with her hoofs the boards over the
door, leaped clear over the door and
went out and joined her colt She
was put back again and this time
tied with a strong rope. She soon
succeeded in breaking the rope and
knocking off the boards OF the wall.
got out a second time. Once more
she was put back but she got SO ,des-
perately frantic that Mr. Woodruff,
out of pity for the poor creature let
her go out with her colt.

MARSH BY THE RROOkLET

From a personal letter received by
Mr.. Hampstead of the City Drug
Store, this week, it is learned that
G. A. Marsh and family are now So
journing at Cold Spring, California.
Mr.. Marsh says he is having the
time of his life and would not swap
his present sporting grounds for the
best of those picked out by Teddy
Roosevelt in his wild ramifications
over two continents, AT the time of
writing he had just returned from a
two day hike to spot on the brook
let where he pulled in the fish faster
than did the Galileean fishermen
after they had received divine in
structions from the Nazarene as to
the modus operandi of angling.

AN INDIAN WARB LER

An Indian, long-haired and hand
kerchiefed, stopped a fe minutes
in front of the door of tn e Post, last
Tuesday afternoon. He seemed in
deep study, paying no pa lrticular at
tention to amy one. P1 ,esently he
looked up among the bra inches of the
trees and began to hu I'M tune
a wild chant-which g ounded some
thing like dissections from John
Browns Body" as its ghost ''goes
marching on with va riations from
that equally antiquated q, ante-bellum
song, jamie, Comb ye Hair" AS to
the merits of his ditty it is quite
plain plain that he, like the bat, was
never intended by. natn re for a des-
ert warbler, but just ho w, when or
where in thunderation h. ever caught
on to those old, musty melodies is

ice plant to get some ice and
after purchasing a good-sized block
weighing about 80 pounds, picked it
up to carry it home. The slippery
thing slipped from his hold and fell,
the corner of it striking him squarely
on the first two toes OF his left foot,
bruising them woefully. CALCULATIONS

followed. 1t will be several days be-
fore he will be able to walk upright

THE INDIANS
CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH OF JULY. BURYING
THE TOMAHAWk AND MEMO
RIEs OF STRIFE OF AGES PAST
BENEATH THE FLAG.

The fourth of July was observed
in safe and sane" manner in Par
ker-safe surely, because nothing was
done to endanger life or limb, and
sane if quietude is not conclusive to
| insanity. This absence of demonstra-
tion was not due to apathy or lack
OF patriotism on the part of the peo-
pie of Parker, for they are brim-full
Of patriotic fervor. 1t is not always
the loudest "amen" from the anxious
seat that betOkens the deepest con-
victiOnS. 1t was because the com
ditions here at present would not
warrant a good big celebration and
our people do not believe in doing
things by halves, consequently many
of them went to Prescott where they
were doing the thing whole, brown
and "comme il faut". While quiet
ness reigned throughout the town,
the day was not forgotten. From the
masthead at the hall of justice the
stars and stripes waved, and work
on the new branch jail being built
was suspended by Supt. Collins in
Difference to our liberty day'-a
very fitting tribute.
The Indians on the other hand
were very busy At a convenient
spot on the river just below the
agency. they gathered en- masse. A
large quantity of beef, watermelons
and other food was brought in, fires
lighted. and great pots were filled
with beef, cut up in chunks about the
size of an Indians foot, and boiled
to finish. In point of quantity and
quality, the great flesh pots of
Egypt" for which the children of
Israel sighed in their murmurings
against Moses, would not be in it
with these, and the savory odOr of
Arizonas cooking beef would be
enough to cause any Jew to drool a.
the mouth in delrious anticipation
of a delicious feast, and silence all
murmerings. The women also bus
led themselves in cooking tOrtillOs
and many other auxiliary dishes and
soon spread equal to the famous
feasts of Lucullus was in readiness.
After all had eaten to their full
capacity, amusements were in order.
a game of baseball was played, there
was horse racing, and a game called
"shinney" seemed to excite much in
terest. In this game there are
four players-two on each side, and
two goals. Each player is supplied
with a stick or paddle about two feet
Long and a ball about the size of a
large birds egg is used The object
of the game is for each palyer to try
and land this ball over his respectixe
goal by batting or kicking it, the
touching of the ball by the players
with the hands being forbidden In
the rules, however, nothing prevents
the player from picking the ball up
with his toes-monkey fashion and
tossing it over his goal, a trick at
which some of them were quite ex-
pert.
The festivities lasted until we'll
along in the night and the Indians
acquitted themselves we'll in COM
memOrating our natal day, and bar
ring literary exercises, their celebra-
,tion would have done credit to any
whites. If these demonstrations are
to be counted for anything, the In
dams certainly covered themselves
all over with great gObs of patriotic
glory, while buryimg the tOmahawk
