VISITS HIS OLD HOME TOWN
Sid Huntley, Newspaper Man, Ming
les With Sank Centre Friends
With ThOs. FranksOn =

Sidney Huntley, a former Sank
Centre boy, who learned the printing
trade in this city, was mingling with
a host of old friends the latter days
Of last week. Since leaving Sank
Centre II years ago Sid has devoted
most of his time and energies to
Southern Minnesota, among other
things serving four years as post
master at Spring Valley. At the
present tins Mr.. Huntley is editor1of
the Stewartville Star, a hustling news
paper published in one of Olmsted
county's best towns
Thomas Frankson of ST. Paul, ac-
'companied Sid. Mr.. Frankson is
heavily interested in land holdings in
Pope county land will probably buy in
this immediate vicinity soon. Mr..
Frankson is a republican candidate for
lieutenant governor. Although he re-
sides in St. Paul, he is in reality a
country product, and only removed to
the city year or two ago to be near
er the center of his large real estate
activities.
Mr.. Frankson was very highly re-
spected resident of Fillmore county
for many years, serving two terms in

the legislature, from that county, re-
firing voluntarily two years ago. Dur.
ing his legislative career Tom was
one of the most vigorous members,
and always voted for the interests of
the common people. He has recently
filed for the Republican nomination
for lieutenant governor, and the Her
aid sincerely hopes that the people of
the state will give his candidacy the
support his entry into the race deser-;
YES. He is splendidly equipped by past
legislative experience, personality and
ability to fill this high office with dis
tinct credit. During his stay in Sank
Centre Mr.. Frankson came in contact
with many of the Sank Centre bust
ness men and made a most favorable
impression. 81

CONDITION is SERIOUS

The many friends of Fred Deters
will learn with regret that he has suf-
fered serious relapse in the last
few days and that the attending ply;
stefan is alarmed at his condition. Mr.
Deters was recovering from his pro-
longed illness, having been aided by
a successful operation, but early this
week in attempting to arise from his
chair fell and injured the leg on which
the operation had been performed.
Complications quickly set in which the
doctor is trying to counteract.

MOVE TO STOP
WILDCATTING
THE WILD CAT MAKES 1T Diff
CULT FOR THE MAN WITH A
LEGITIMATE PROPOSITION TO
OBTAIN FUNDS FOR DEVELOP
MENT WORK.

The announcement that the busi-
mess men of Jerome have organized
to prevent wildcat tting is one of the
most important steps forward, ac-
cording ito a statement made by the
Arizona Bureau of Mines. Probably
no movement is SO widespread as
that to discourage illigitimate min
ing; to prevent wild cats and also
encourage legitimate mining opera
tions. lit is the work of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress, the work of
the State Bureau of Mines, as we'll
as the work Of manycivic organiza-
tions, and it is only by the united
action of many of these organizations
that this may be brought about.
Nothing discourages legitimate min
ing more quickly than wildcatting.
The wild cat makes it difficult for
the man with an above board propo-
sition to obtain funds necessary to
develop his property.
Some legitimate mining operations
fail, but all wild cats fail, in
everything except extracting money
from the pockets Of the stockholders
There are enough failures in min
ing where the organizations are
sound and secure.
Every mining operation should be
forced to play it's cards open and
above board. Publicity is the fresh
air and sunshine to diseased finan
cial methods, and the honest promo
tor working publicly knows that his
clientele will grow as the public
gains greater knowledge of his oper-
ations.
Every district in the state where
new mines are being promoted
should organize to establish some
sort Of a censorship over new prop
ositions, over news items sent out,
to keep a record of the financial
statements filed with the corpor-
ations commission, in order to make
it is possible for anyone planning TO
invest in that particular district to
get the closest kind of inside infor-
nation regarding that property
When it is understood by investors
that they are so protected, our future
development is assured.

THE POSTS HAND TOWEL.

AS bit of interesting local news
might be mentioned without imprO-
priety the fact that The Parker Post
had its hand towel washed this week
by special lanudryman, Don Carlos
Diez, who did very good job, Con
sidering that the aforesaid towel
had been on the same shift Tor sew
eral years without a single change.
While it can hardly be said, since
the operation, that this piece OF
linen is ''as white as snow lit is
no eXaggeration to say that its orig
inal color, white, lis now quite dis
cernible. By rights a printing shop
towel ought to be washed at least
once a year-whether it needs it or
not-but while the poor hand towel
is an absolutely indispensable piece
CT printing office equipment, it is I'm
variably an object of lamentable neg
leQt, as expressed in the following
retrospective dOggerel:
When l think of the towel, the old
hand towel
That used to hang up by the print
Ing shop door,
believe that nobody, in these days
of ''shoddy,"
Could hammer out iron TO wear as
it wore
The devil who used it, the tramp
who abused it,
The comp. who got at it when
these two We're gone;
The makeup and foreman, the editor,
poor man,

they put heap on.
And thus it grew ruffer, and thicker
and tougher,
And daily took on a more inkier
hue;

any warming,

next ten days. The Sulphide shaft
is to be equipped with hoist, and

also be started on the Red Metal

and teams on the road between Dren-
nan and the camp, in order that the
drilling outfit may be hauled to the
ground and gotten in operation as
quickly as possible Mr.. Manning
was busy collecting his forces today,
and he stated that the road work
will be pushed to completion as fast
as possible. 1t is believed that the

Planned by Oatman Parties.

That the Parker Syndicate, which
some weeks ago secured lease and
bond on three groups of claims be-
longing to Billy Manning and Herman
Roeder, located eight miles north of
Parker, intend to develop the ground,
ON an extensive scale was evidenced
this week when a complete drilling
outfit arrived here and is to be used
in putting down drill holes for the
purpose of prospecting the extensive
copper-porphyry deposits, which is
the characteristic formation of that
part of the great Parker mining dis
trict.
The Parker Syndicate consists of
George w. Long, J. L. McIver and
W. K. Ridenour, all of the United

take hold of is gilt-edged.
Besides the drilling outfit, other
machinery will arrive here Within the
next few days The syndicate of
Oatman mine operators are highly
pleased, with the showing made at
the Manning & Roeder property.

INDIAN
MURDER CASE
1T SEEMS INDIANS ARE RELUc-
TO TELL WHAT THEY APPAR-
ENTITY KNOW; PROGRESS Is
BEING MADE.

YUMA, Oct. 24.--~One of the MOST
perplexing cases that has ever Con
torney is the Indian murder case in
which Theodore Ahyat is accused of
killing another Yuma Indian named
Stanislaus Queel, a short time ago.
No amount of persuasion seems ad-
equate to induce the Indians who
know of the crime to divulge their
knowledge, and as result four
Indians are in the county Jail to be
held pending an investigation which
must reveal the evidence neces-
sary to lay bare the facts. Indian
after Indian has been on the grill.
and all that the county attorney and
his assistant have been able to ascer-
tain is that me don't know" How
ever, yesterday the Officials made
some inroads as to the crime which
indicate that the guilty will have to
suffer. The officials have probed the
case far enough to be convinced
that it includes a murder conspiracy
CT gigantic proportions. Those who
are evidently trying to keep back
the truth have insisted that they did
net even know of an Indian named
UIln11 To, lzurN nEH
clals that there was such man and
that they knew him. and that he has
disappeared, probably been murdered.
In the next few days it is probable
enough evidence will have been pro-
cured to proceed with the prelimin-
ary hearing i'm the case OF Ah-vat.
An old Indian man and woman who
are said to conduct a gambling place
at the camp OF the tribe known as
)iegians, near the border at Andrade
are suspected of having had some
timing to do with the murder or at
least in concealing the facts. They
are being griled and the man lis one
OF the Indians injah
The outcome OF the case is problem
atical. The county attorney and MIR.
Malloy are putting in much extra
time and very strenuous endeavors to
uncover the facts in spite of the very
apparent conspiracy ito prevent JUS
tice taking its course.

COPPER TRADE
IS PROSPEROUS
OVER ONE-HALF OF THE COPPER
PRODUCTION IN THE FIRST SIX
MONTHS OF THE YEAR HAS
ALREADY BEEN SOLD.

The placing OF an Italian order for
1000, 900 pounds of copper this week
lis the chief development i'm the cop
per situation. Business in copper is
expected to taper off and the first
signs OF a receding volume of de-
mand have already been noted. Lead
ing producers assert that incoming
business is smaller and lit is pos
sible that Inactivity will replace the
pressure for the metal that has ex-
listed since early August. The wind
ing up of the buying movement is
welcomed. Orders have been writ
ten into the books of the producers
that assure them of a protracted
period of activity and the advent of
an off4periCd is not regarded as MAX
ing for an easier market.
Reviewing what has transpired i'll
the past ten weeks, the fact that pro-
ducers held copper below the 30-cent
level stands out prominently in dis
putting the oft-stated assertion that
manipulation of copper prices is at al
times rife. When the movement now
closing had its inception last August
the price of copper held around
"a ga cents, whereas at the wind
ing UP of the movement the price
stands at % cents, indicating an ad-
vance Of only | IA cents per pound.
Taking this advance in contrast with
the tremendous business booked
s,nce August FIRST it lis manifest
that the upward movement in prices
has been conservative.
Producers can now face the future
with definite assuredness of a com
rlnued strong market With over
half OF their production in the first
six months of next year already sold
and the fact that a considerable am
ount of domestic buying will develop
around January of next year that
will easily absorb the balance of the
output, the future holds much i'm
store for copper producers.

cepted that hostilities will continue
into 1918, possibly until the summer
of that year. The longer the war

EMPIRE SCENE
OF BIG STRIKE
ON TREASURE HILL QUARRYtNG
OPERATIONS HAVE EXPOSED
IMMENSE BODIES OF HIGH
GRADE COPPER ORE.

The Arizona Empire Copper Mines
company is opening up what appears
to be one of the largest and richest
bodies of copper ore ever encounter
ed in the Parker district For the
past two weeks power drills have
been attacking the riches CT Treas
ure hill, and from both sides Of this
mammoth ore deposit for width Of
over twenty feet high7grade copper
ore is being Quarried from the sides
of the mountain
Engineers estimate of the amount
of ore in sight ON Treasure Hill ap-
proximate 100000 tonsybut until some
days ago the management did not
anticipate that the grade would run
as high as present developments in
dicate. Great punches of ore in the
massive ore body run from 80 to 40
per cent in copper, besides gold vail
ues from 500 to $50 per tom The
whole is high grade shipping Gle, and
tke officials OF the comany are high
ly elated over the big strike.
Hundreds of tons of this kind of
ore have been quarried from Treas
ure hill the past ten days. and with
in short time the work Of hauling
one to Parker for shipment to the
ame.ter will be commenced.
The Empire company has expended
nearly $4,000 in road construction
during the past few months, and
everything is in readiness to move
the precious product to the railroad
for shipment.
Recent developments at this prop
erty caused the visit of a number of
the officials of the company here this
week, the following arriving Wednes
day morning from Los Angeles to
view the big strikes made within the
past couple of weeks: Col. c. NJ,
Moses. C. E. Finney, Edward w
Brooks, Fl. A. Cullodan, Truman Ber-
ry, and John E. Coffin. They were
accompanied by Manager Clyde Bald
win, who has been spending a few
days in the city on business.
The big strike on Treasure hill is
not the least of the sensational
strikes which this property has been
the scene of recently. The Eagles
Nest claim is showing up better than
anyone ever anticipated. Some days
ago a big ledge of high1grade ore
was encountered in the crosscut,
