Fremont Tribune: The miracle of
the coming of spring, of the waking
into new life of everything in ma
ture, is the perennial proof that re-
news the hope of the human heart
for a bright and joyous life hereaf-
ter, when we and our loved and lost
will have the ecstatic joy of recogni-
ton and reunion. The sweet SYM
phony of bird song, the ravishing
beauty of the resurrected flowers and
foliage are categorical argument that
gives comfort to the heart and hope
that death is not the end of life.

GIVEN HEARING ON
 INSANITY CHARGE
From wsdns.d.y,, Daily MinerI

William McAvoy, who was brought into Kingman from Oatman a few lays ago and held on an insanity charge, had hearing in the Superior Court yesterday, Drs. Hilton and White making the examination, after which the case was continued to a later date.
 Several witnesses came from Oat- man to testify. Among whom were Ora Page, MT. Potts and Mrs. Me Cormack. No charge was lodged against McAvoy until after Mrs. Me- Cormack arrived here. As soon as the complaint was filed in the Superioir Court a warrant was issued and Me Avoy was formally taken into custody.
 It was alleged that McAvOy had threatened the life of Mrs. McCor- mack, and had acted queerly of late. He imagined that he had been done out of mining property in the Oatman district, and that Mrs. Mccormack was at the bottom of his troubles. On the other hand, he has been an- moving Mrs. Mccormack for many months until she was compelled to have him restrained.

VASTNESS OF GRAND
 CANYON DESCRIBED

Few persons can realize on a first view of the Grand Canyon that it is more than a mile deep and from eight to ten miles wide The cliffs descend ing to its depths form a succession of huge steps, each 300 to 500 feet high, with steep rocky slopes between. The cliffs are the edges of hard beds of limestone or sandstone; the interven- ing slopes mark the outcrops of softer beds. This series of beds is more than $500 feet thick, and the beds lie nearly horizontal.
 Far down in the canyon is broad shelf caused by the hard sandstone at the base of this series, deeply trenched by a narrow inner canyon cut thou sand feet or more into the underlying granite" The rocks vary in color from white and buff to red and pale green. They present a marvellous va riety of picturesque forms, mostly on a titanic scale, fashioned mainly by erosion by running water, th6 agent which has excavated the canyon.-U. S. Geological Survey.

MARSHAL WILL ATTACH
 TWO CARLOADS OF BEANS

Sheriff J. C. Lane, who is also deputy United States marshall for this county, was yesterday notified by wire that two cars of beans, in transit from San Francisco to Chicago, were the subject of attachment proceedings in the United States court and that at tachment papers were being sent him from Phoenix. The cars were located at Winslow last evening and Marshal Lane expected to leave on late train to take possession of them. The pa pers in the case will be in Winslow awaiting his arrival. The beans are for fodder and have considerable value. The basis of the suit is un- known.

ventured the reporter.
 "Oh, I worked in the health office, and was enjoying myself in a con- vivial way about eight-tenths of the time," said Perrizo.
 ''To make long story short" con tinued he, q expect to get S350,0O0 more out of my stock in the Eastern. had 45,O0O shares and sold 25,000. I sold 2O,OOO for S60,OOO, and if had hung onto it 50 days longer I would have got s20,0OO more, but I wanted to let the other fellow make some thing"
 So that is the story of Joe Perrizo- a small part of his story. There are dips. spurs and angles to the story that would fill a book with a red cover and several inches between the foot and hanging walls, and reading matter all through the pages. His great wisdom consisted not only in coming here at the psychological mo- ment, but in realizing that the claims bordering onto the Tom Reed mine were worth more than the S400 or $500 a claim that company was pay ing for them. One evening he of fered his group to S. S. Jones for s10.- 900, but realized his mistake. which he says was in not asking enough. Then he raised to s25,000, and finally to s50,O00 It would have gone at that price, he says, but Long and Me Tver bapneuad to coToa in inst in tipoe to keep this more suitable price to clinch the deal.
 "But we would have taken the s1O,- 900 then" he said, referring to Me Cornell and himself.
 PerriZo is around the sunny or shady side of SO, perhaps the latter. He has never married, and says he is too old

SCIENTISTS STUDYING
 CRACK IN DRY LAKE

On recent LLlp bO llAC NAOOliLC mining section the extraordinary phenomenon of the earth's opening in MacCormac Lake, lying just below the camp of Groome, was visited and inspected by party consisting of Col. Bill Wheatley, Clyde West, w. C. Browne and B. L. Smith.
 They found that the earth had cracked and opened in the bed of the lake for several miles, from the shore toward the center, varying in width from a few feet to p or 30 feet and in depth about the same, though the Assure must have been much deeper when first opened, as it has filled up some at this time.
 This extraordinary Assure is said to have opened up last January at the time when some cattle men were rid ing for stock and when leaving the lake there was plenty of water in it but after an absence of a week or ten days they returned and found the lake bed perfectly dry and in hunting for reason found the Assure opened to the exent as stated.
 It is a grave question now if the lake will hold any more water at all, as it is more than probable that it will run into the crack and disappear for at least a long time or until the opening has been filled up again to the lakes level.
 The cause of this opening is sup posed to be of seismic nature rather than the settling of the surface as the bed adjacent to the crack or in the lake proper shows no other signs of disturbance and remains perfectly level and as smooth as floor, and exceedingly hard, it being difficult to make much impression on it with a pick.
 For about inches as shown by the edges of the Assure, the surface is covered with a fine silt probably inn pregnated heavily with alkali, salt and other surface substances similar to other lakes of that section; while be- low this inch surface layer, as far down as it could be inspected, gray ish clay mixed here and there with narrow layers of small gravel, washed in no doubt in the many years of its forming.
 Location notices were posted on the crack, with the idea of it's being used sooner or later as the subway for Groome City which will unquestion- ably be located at or near this beau tiful place.
 It will afford the population great sport in auto races as one can make 50 miles an, hour very easily and being of such large area orr times around would equal a hundred miles and as just a little appetized before dinner one could reel off few laps with great joy.
 In the ages to come the question would naturally arise whether this great Assure will be filled with secondary enrichment" of some new metal probably called after that prom inent man "Bryanite" or will it be just ordinary muck of no value. Who can tell? It's certainly well worth seeing and people going there now can only take up the extension of the crack in the hope that it will con- tinue in line with the general strike and thus continue the "subway."- Pioche Record.

 CONDITION IN OFFICE

When W. H. Hart, an emplOye of the Arizona Engineering company, en- tered the office of that concern about 2 o'clock last evening, he found Car ence 0vermeyer, a member of sales department, lying on the floor uncOn- scious. At first he thought that Mir. Overmeyer had passed away.
 MT. Hart called Dr. Tilton as quick ly as possible and for an hour or more two physicians worked over the young man, finally reviving him. His con- dition was due to a severe contraction of the muscles about the heart. He was removed to his home and is now out of danger.

SPOT VALUES
 COVER SHAFT BOTTOM
(From oatman Section Daily Minerl

Good values have appeared in the bottom of the Leopard Spot shaft, running about S2.50 a ton. There is a vein in the mess about a foot wide that runs about S10. Other values much higher have been obtained from picked samples. They now may be had most anywhere in the shaft, whereas, before they were obtainable only in the narrow stringer or vein, which has widened out
 The shaft is down less than 40 feet and making slow progress with hand work only. The bottom is softening somewhat, and it is hoped by the man. agement that better progress will be made.

Large Deposits
Accepted at ?. 0.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an import
ant amendment to the Postal Saw
ings Act just approved by Presi-
dent Wilson. A postal savings de-
position may now have an account
amounting to $1,000 upon which in
terest will be paid. Formerly $500
was the maximum amount he could
have to his credit. This enlarge
ment of postal savings facilities will
be very gratifying to thousands OF
depositors who have already reach
ed the old $500 limit and are anx-
ious to entrust more of their saw
ings to Uncle Sam, Another fea-
ture of the amendment that will
avoid further embarrassment to the
public and to postal officials is doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a de-
position monthly. Under the old law
500 could be deposited in a calen-
dar month. The amendment abol-
ishes this restriction. While the
Postal Savings System has already
proved a signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half-a-
million depositors have over eighty

Confession OF a Mistake
By E. S REED

Senator Harding of Ohio, who is
to be temporary chairman of the Re-
publican convention to be held in
Chicago next week, was the princi-
pal speaker at the Republican con-
vention of the State of Rhode Is
land held in Providence recently.
The Senator commenced his remarks
with this breezy confession: I'VE
Republicans made a great mistake
at the last National convention. |
was one of them there ard [ confess
that we made a most eggregious
blunder but | want to tell you that
we are not going to repeat it this
year. We are going to forget it..
We must forget it and profit by our
former mistake"
This was a generous admission. A
mistake!! Does anybody doubt it?
Who can enumerate the consequent
cies of that mistake? The voting ma
jority demanded Roosevelt for their
Presidential candidate. Many Dem
ocratic statesmen had acknowledged
that if Roosevelt was the Republi-
can nominee no man could beat him
at the polls.
In the 61st Congressional 1911-the
Republicans had a majority in the
Senate of %; in the House, ma
jority of AZ. AS a result Of the Re-
publican mistake" at Chicago the
63rd Congress had Democratic ma
jority in the Senate of six and the
majority in the House was 145 for
the Democrats. We have a Demo-
crat for President and all the offices
filled by Democrats as a result of
that mistake" Has there been any
improvement anywhere in tn e
country as result of that mis-
TAXI"
AS to our foreign policy, did that
mistake" improve it? Has it made
the Nation respected? Has it pro-
tected American citizens? Has the
change of administrations improved
business? Has this administration
made adequate preparations for the
national defense? Do we believe
that if that mistake" had not been
made that we would now be in fear
of the result of any prospective war
from any foreign foe?
