PARKER PEOPLE
 GIVEN HOPE BY LANE
(From Saturdays Daiiy)

(From Saturdays Daiiy)
 PHOENIX, April ?. - Representa- tive J. B. Flanagan of Parker, and O. L. Babcock, Indian agent of the Colorado River Indian reservation, had conference with Secretary Lane of the interior department yes terday relative to the opening of the reservation at Parker. MT. Lane gave them assurance that on the compile tion of the experimental wells to be sunk by the state OH the reservation, if it appears that sufficient water can be developed, he would open the sur plus lands to settlement to the amount of more than 100000 acres. This is the first encouraging news re- 9arding the opening of these lands that has yet been received from the department. Mir. Lane regretted that he did not have time to visit Parker for a personal investigation.
 Mir. Lane said: "I sec no reason why all of the surplus lands should not be opened under pumping sys- tenn and let the settlers work out their own reclamation problems"
 The work of sinking the wells un- der the state land commission is to begun at once under an appropri- ation of $2,500 by the second state legislature This legislation was sc cured by Representative Flanagan. The wells arc to be sunk from 75 to S0 feet where the second water stratum is encountered. This water will then rise to the first level which is at a depth of from 10 10 Is feet below the surface. Old wells indicate an abundant supply of underground water on the reservation. Citizens of Parker have been looking forward tor the last five or six years for the opening of these lands and their ef- forts now seem about to be crowned with success.

WE MOVE FOR A
 CHANGE OF VENUE

 They have a different way of trying "bootlegging" cases down at Globe than in the Superior court of Yavapai county. Here the jurors are permit ted to "smell' only of the exhibit, as in the case of William Bracken of Jerome, but in Globe the exhibit is passed around and the jurors taste and see for themselves that it is the real stuff. In this instance, however, the exhibit failed to get clear around the jury box. Here is the story from an exchange, and the readers of the Journal can take it as authen- tic or not:
 "At a recent trial held in Globe un- der the new prohibition law the pro secution produced a pint bottle of liquor marked exhibit "A as evidence against the defendant, John Van Or der, witness for the state, reluctantly obeyed the command to taste the liquor, and told the court it was whiskey. The trial jury was com posel of Missourians and had to be shown. Presto the convincing coun- ty attorney passed up the "poison" to the jury, but the "treat" did not go half way around before the contents of the bottle had gone the gastrono- mic route, thus the court had to strike off from the records this much covet- ed exhibit A

HIGH PRICE ZINC
 REVIVES THE SUNRISE
[From Wednesdav's Dailyl

lOl1l w C0ACNAdy DoAAJJ
 Another straw to indicate what is going on in the general revival of mines of this field, is the interesting situation that has developed as the outcome of zinc reaching the highest figure ever known, and in that line the old Sunrise group is again active.
 This property was recently acquir- cd by F. M. Anderson, and he stated yesterday after returning from his camp in HaSsayampa district, that recent exploration was decidedly en- couraging for outlaying considerable capital. The old shaft has been cleaned out and a crosscut run from the 5O-foot level for 100 feet, exposing a fine body of this metal, with which Is associated lead and silver. Under these encouraging conditions sinking the main shaft has been decided up on. Also under consideration is the placing of a mill on the property, from which can be inferred the at tractive possibilities in evidence from limited development.
 The Sunrise was a producer and shipper in the days when silver was $1 per ounce and lead 6 cents per pound. It paid handsomely, but when the decline occurred, it follow cd many others and was abandoned

MORE JUICE FROM
 FOSSIL CREEK WATERS
(From Wednesdays DaiIY.l

(From Wednesdays Daiiy.)
 Significant of the purpose of the Arizona Power Company to immedi- ately begin construction of an addi- tional electrical plant on Fossil creek, it was stated yesterday that Chief Engineer R. s. Mason was to arrive in Prescott early next week to take charge and direct from this city, the huge undertaking decided upon.
 MT. Mason will also remain here during the period of construction that wiM require several months. The transportation of the heavy machin- cry to be introduced has brought from Los Angeles the representative of motor truck firm, and he is now in the field to make observations of the roadway to the camp before sub mitting a bid. It has been decided to handle the equipment by power, in stead of mules as heretofore, and the old highway via Sycamore creek will agaln be used. The visitor stated ms firm will probably use hve-ton trucks and by buckling them together will be able 10 handle any single piece of machinery on any grade.
 Another matter associated with the intentions of this company to start operations at an early date is the re- arrangement of their local offices in Masonic building, in which accommo- dations will be made for an increase of fully fifteen more employees. This movement is directly attributed to the revival now going on among mines of the county, and the applications being made to the company for cleo trical power for mining as well as various processes of reduction to be i introduced

MINES RENTING
 IN PIONEER DISTRICT
(From Fridays DailY.)


 Mining in the Black Canyon dis trict is being revived, as in other sec tions of this county, was the report made yesterday by w. Jeff Martin, who is in the city. The Richenbar is preparing to resume and is attracting attention, and Fred Harris, president of the Harris Copper Company, also has decided to get his copper prop critics operating at once. The Kay people have temporarily suspended, owing to pending litigation that is expected to end in d short time. Their plans call for large develop ment, and shipping will be made to smeltcrs. Martin also says that placer mining promises to furnish large asset of mineral wealth at present in that region, and more miners arc working than ever known. With the opening of the old stage road to freighting, the country will rapidly advance and all industries will be materially benefited. About one and one-half miles of road remain to be completed. when an outlet to Turkey station will be given.

TROUT INDUSTRY
 ASSUMES KEEN INTEREST
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Daily.)
 The affairs of the Crystal Springs Trout Company have undergone an entire change as to official make up, Harry Brisley, of this city, succeeding 10 the presidency at the special meet ing held on Wednesday afternoon. Other officers elected were S. A. Cot terrell as vice-prcsident, and R. L. Jones, of Skull valley, as secretary. A new board of directors was also chosen: C. P. Wingheld, of Huron; w. T. Sullivan, of Phoenix, and w. L. Roberts, of Skull valley. That his undertaking is in a thrifty state and is success seems to be assured, according to those conversant with conditions in Skull valley.
 MT. Cotterell, who has assumed the responsibility of managing the business, submitted a report, in which he stated that the marketing of the output begins not later than August, when trout will have attained length of fully eight inches. A shipment of 100000 more eggs is to arrive this month. The initial matching of 20O,- eco is sold to Southern Pacific and Santa Fc railroad eating houses and dining cars, with limited number for local trade. The trout are of tho Rainbow and Eastern Brook species

ACTIVE OPERATIONS
 AT THE OCTAVE
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Dally.)
 Arrivals yesterday from the Octave camp, near Stanton, stated that sink ing new shaft on the Joker claim was making good hcadway, and big ore bodies carrying gold values, were being determined. What depth is to be given this shaft was not learned, but that large exploration had been decided upon was stated by the man agcment
 It is also quite probable the old workings later will again be the scene of development, and the placing of the mill machinery in working order will be the next move. The Octave revival has had a stimulating effect on other nearby mines, and several are getting ready to go ahead again.

 "In the history of the sheep busi- ness, there never has been parallel to the wave of prosperity that is at present prevailing" said Chas. E.

He gave an interesting review of conditions in this livestock indus try, that has assumed a status not anticipated even one year ago by the most sanguine He stated that the past winter was a revelation to grow CTS in the finest feed ever known be- ing abundant on the desert, no losses whatever taking place and the winter being exceptionally mild.
