ARIZONA LOSES BIC

NEW RESERVATION
Three Hundred and Fortyfour Thou
Have to be Selected Elsewhere
Arizona Strip May Furnish Large
Part of Lieu Lands

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 3.-With the
creation in southern Arizona of the
new Papago reservation, the largest
Indian reservation in the United
States, Arizona as a state loses title
to over 344,000 acres Of school land.
Lieu lands to take the place of these
school lands will have to be selected
elsewhere in Arizona from the un-
appropriated public domain, but Just
where it will all be found is the ques-
ton that is worrying officials of the
state land department.
1.-THE new Papago reservation will
contain 100000 acres of land, of
which 344,O0O acres is school land"
said State Land Commissioner Moeur
in speaking of the recent government
order setting aside over 1000 square
miles for the Indians. ITO select other
lands in place of the school lands thus
lost to the state will be an expensive
proceeding, and in fact it may be diff

For one thing we shall probably select
large tract in the Arizona strip, north
of the Colorado river in Mohave and
Coconino counties. None of this land
has ever been selected by the state, al
though some preliminary inspections
have been made
Big developments in the Arizona
strip may follow in case school lands
are selected by the state in this dis
trict. There are at present number
of small scattered settlements in the
section, most of the settlers having
come from Utah. Stock raising is the
principal industry, although there are
hundreds of excellent mining prospects
in that section.

PARKER JUB|LANT
OVER TEST WELL

PARKER, Ariz., Feb. 3.-Residents
of the Parker district are jubilant over
the showing of the first of the states
experimental wells, which has just been
subjected to 4S-hour test. The well
ran 1000 gallons minute for the en-
tire period, and at no time showed any
signs of failing. Three other test
wells, also located on school lands
owned by the state, are now ready to
be tested and will be pumped within
the next thirty days.
A second test of the sixteen inch we'll
just examined will be made in the near
future when an engineer from the de-
partment of the interior will be on
hand to witness the test. In case the
department is satisfied with the show
ing of the test wells, it is believed al
together probable that the government
will consent to open the Parker project
as a pumping proposition. Water is
struck at depth of twenty feet

DAM TEN YEARS OLD
CAUSED WASHOUT

CONGRESS, Ariz., Feb. 3.-The
responsible for the gecent tie-up at
Martinez creek of the Santa Fe, Pres
colt and Phoenix line, the only north
and south line through central Ari-
zona. The dam, which was built for the
Coronado Mining company, was 25 feet
high and 200 feet long. At the time it
was built engineers predicted that if
it ever became full it would give way.
Ten years passed before enough water
came down the creek to fill the dam,
and then the prophecy came true.

THE BUILDERS

The return of President Won Klein
Smid Of the state university from his
eastern trip with the announcement
that the mining companies of Arizona
have subscribed 100000 toward the
new mining building to be erected on
the campus at Tucson must be very
gratifying to all friends of the univer-
sity and of the cause Of education in
Arizona. The fact that such a gener-
GUS subscription has been made now
makes possible the erection of a build
ing which will be modern in every
particular, and admirably adapted to
the needs of this department of the
university for many years to come.
Realizing that the appropriation
made by the legislature at it's last ses-
sion was altogether too small for the
purpose, Dr. Won KleinSmid left at
Christmas time for the east Some
how, he hoped, he would be able to Sc
cure the money necessary to put up a
building proportionate to Arizona's S
Importance as mining state. He was
surprised and pleased at the reception
he received. In busy offices, to which
the average college president might
find it difficult to obtain entrance, men
of large. affairs paused in the midst
Of their work to listen to the plans
for mining school at the University
of Arizona They we're interested in
Arizona, and in the development Of her
resources, educational as well as mih-
eral, and they responded literally. In
one instance company preferred not
to contribute on the basis Of last years
production. Next year, they said, they
would produce much more copper.
And their quota was increased corre-
spondingly.
Great assistance in his task of Sc
curing the money for the new mining
building was rendered DR.. Won Klein
Smid by DR.. L. D. Ricketts,, who has
worked untiringly for the upbuilding
of Arizona. Up to the last minute be-
fore sailing for South America, DR..
Ricketts, worked arranging appoint
ments for the president of the state
university with the heads Of the large
mining companies, and to him is due
large credit for the success Of the
effort
The men who have thus contributed
are men of vision. In the canyons and
on the mountain sides of Arizona,
years ago, they saw in their vision the
great industrial cities and commu-
mites that now exist, and they lavish
ly put their money into the develop
ment of this empire in the southwest.
More than that they have, practically
all of them, put the best years of their
lives into the development Of this
state, They are the builders Of Ari-
zOna.
1t is because they are builders, be-
cause they believe in development,
constructive upbuilding Of the state,
that they have willingly given Of their
means to erect a mining building at
the state university. Men Of smaller
caliber would have excused themselves
from contributing on the ground that
they we're already paying the bulk of

SHELL GRENADE
 INVENTED HERE
 BY JUNEAU MAN

Jefferson Bowling, a machine man of the Perseverance mine has per fected an invention, the shell gre made. He has already applied for patents in the United States and all foreign countries. The shell will be soon in use in the Euro pean war, it is stated Today Mir Bowling is exhibiting the shell at Burford's corner.
 A colse study of the present Eu- ropean war shows that a deadlock has been produced by trench war fare. Troops have been safe against rifle, shrapnel and machine gun fire and with the aid of steel helmets and shields of various kinds, trench es have been advanced within few yards of each other. Hand gre nades have been used but on ac- count of their weight they are only good for close in work.
 MT. Dowling's invention can be used by air craft, small trench nor tars and large seize guns. The shell bursts in the air releasing the grenades. The invention is one of the remarkable things of the pres ent time.

WICKERSHAM MEN MAY
 ATTEMPT A COUP ON
 REGULAR REPUBLICANS

It is said that the Wickersham supporters in Alaska may attempt to capture the Republican divisional conventions in the separate judi cial divisions of Alaska and secure his nomination for Delegate to Con gress at each of them in turn It Is urged by those Wickershamites who favor that course that the success of such movement could be claimed as indicating that the masses of the Republican party favor Delegate Wickersham, and that he could take nomination from the masses without being un- der any obligations to the regular organization which was in control of the Republican convention at Se- ward. 1t is said by those favoring this method of getting the Republi- can nomination for Wickersham that he absolutely will not take a nomination from the committee which was selected at Seward to selecct a candidate for Delegate. They claim, on the other hand, that if Delegate Wickersham should be nominated by the separate Division al conventions the nominating com mittee, which consists of II L Faulkner, w A. Gilmore, Harvey Sullivan and T. w. Lloyd, would be forced to designate Wickersham as the party nominee.

KENSINGTON MINE WORK STARTS WITH
 BIG CREW OF MEN
Property Will Be Put in Shape ot Produce from 300 ot 1000 Tons of Ore Daily Beginning Early
 the Coming Spring.

Extensive development work on the Kensington property on Ser ner's Bay will start within the next few days and will be pushed without cessation from now on. The mine development work will be pushed this year and the mine will be put in proper shape to produce from 50g to 1000 tons of ore daily by next spring. The work on mill construction will not be started this year .on account of the lateness of the season but next spring the mill will be constructed.
 The underwriters of the Kensing- ton property, Messrs Jackling, Hay den, Thane and associates. have al- ready spent over a quarter of a million dollars on the development work above the Kensington cross cuts, and nave opened an ore body containing between two and two and a half million tons of ore of .an average of $S per ton.
 Last winter plans for the devel- opment of the property Co a pro- ducing capacity of from 500 to 1000 tons daily, and also plans for the construction of a mill to reduce tlat amount of ore were worked out. The metallurgical eXamina- tions Of the ore and the flow sheet for the mill had already been plan ned at Juneau and Salt Lake City, as had the program of construction and development.
 No decision was made on the de- velOpment program. however, until Messrs. Jackling and Hayden re- turned from their South American trip recently Then it was decided that due to the lateuess of the sea son the construction of the mill should be put off nutil next year, but that force Of men should be put at work on the mines develop ment at once and continue that end without cessation.
 The mine development work will consist in part of driving two large chutes on the Kensington and -Johnson ore bodies. distance of 500 and 500 feet each, and stop ing ground will be opened off of each of these oreways.
 O. Peabody Rogers. superintend- ent in charge of the mine. is ex- pected to return from Ketchikan this afternoon on the Humboldt and will leave within the next cou- pie of days for Kensington. A force of about 50 men will be taken along and the actual work started at once.

CONSOLIDATION OF BIG MINES
 IS ASSURED
Three Properties in the Yankee Basin Region Will Be Brought
 Under One Management.

The Eagle River Mining Com- pany has completed arrangements for the consolidation of that mine with two of the adjoining proper ties on the Yankee Basin side of the ridge and as soon as the llnan- cla Arrangements have been com pleted, development work on the entire property will be started. The consolidated property will be work ed from the Eagle River side through long tunnel which will traverse the entire ore body
 When seen today Mir. B. L. Thane, one of the owners of the Eagle river property, stated that arrange ments have been completed by that company with Peter Early and the McWilliams brothers whereby the three properties have been consoli- dated The negotiations have been going on for the past two or three years and the necessary papers were finally signed. The financial ar engagements arc being made now by other parties interested in the deal, and Mir. Thane stated today that the prospects of success are very bright. It is thought the f- nancial arrangement will be se- cured within the next few weeks.
 The Eagle river mine is known as one of the promising smaller prop critics in the Juneau Gold Belt. and with the two adjoining properties which have Just been secured, will eventually take it's place among the larger mines osr the district The Early and McWilliams properties were discovered several years ago but have never been extensively de- veloped. They are thought to be an actual extension of the Eagle river yeins.
