IS BLOCKED
General Appropriation Bill is Killed
and Obstructionists Refuse to Pass
Measure, Hoping for an Extra
Session.

PHOENIX, Feb. 28.-On final pas
sage the general appropriation bill
failed to get by in the house last
Saturday, II voting against the
measure. Those opposed to the pas
sage of the appropriation bill are in
hopes of forcing an extra session of
the legislature, thus insuring their
staying on the payroll a little long
er, at the rate Of $500 per day.
An attempt to revive the appro-
priation bill was made in the lower
house Tuesday morning, but the
"solid H." who are holding out for
an extra session, defeated the will of
the majority Those who are oppos-
ing the passage of the appropriation
bill are:
Cook of COchise, Vaughn or Mar
ieopa. Edwards and Eddy Of Yuma,
Flake, Foster, Francis, Houser,
Marsh, Mckay and Wiltbank
All legislation in the lower house
is blocked and it is freely threaten
ed by friends of the measure that
there will be nothing doing" until
the bill is released.
Charges of boss rule and leaks
were made on the floor Tuesday
morning.
1t seems probable that a compro-
mise might be effected and the bill
passed without the emergency clause
which would make it amenable
to a referendum vote, inasmuch
as many of the pet measures of mem
bers are behind the traffic block es-
tablished by the revenue bill jam
1t seems certain that the senate
will never accept the bill in it's pres
ent form, and with the end of the
session only a few working days
away, the legislative situation is
little short of chaotic
Thus far the legislature has failed
to pass a single constructive meas
ure. This week the house put the
quietus on the proposed reform cleo
ton laws. From all appearances
the legislature is in lone hell of a
fix"

Road Work Stopped.

County Supervisor F. E.. Elliott
and County Engineer Charles M.
Hindman were in Parker Thursday,
and confirmed the statement made
in last weeks Post that all road
ped, on account of lack of funds.
The highway between Bouse and
Parker lacks fourteen miles of be-
ing finished, and there is little pros
pect of completing it for another
year or more If it is completed
then it will have to be done out of
the road fund, as the bond issue fund
has been spent, 100000 of it going
into the Yuma Valley.

New Walks and Park.

The old board Wake around the

new oiled walks substituted. A

recently in the parkway east of the

Santa Fe is going to keep abreast of
the wave OF prosperity which has
struck Parker by keeping pace with
new improvements A new water
tank is also to be constructed, with
concrete pillars for support 1t will

ParkeT-Needles Stage Line.

An auto stage line is now in op-

and is meeting with considerable
popularity A large seven-passenger
Studebaker car Is being used in the
service, and the trip from here to
Needles is made in about three
hours. The roads are in excellent
condition. The stage at present is
being run only two days each week,
every Tuesday and Friday, but it Is
the intention of the owners to- run
daily whenever the business justifies.
We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of the stage
line in another column of this pa
per. The one-way fare is $3.50.

Don't Keep Your Savings
in a Sock

Before the advent of the Savings
Bank, people who had thrift enough
to save, resorted to all sorts of eX-
pedients to house and hide their saw
ings. A wool sock was a favorite
abiding place for the surplus cash.
A tin box hid under a plank in the
floor was another. Behind picture
frames and il old clocks were often
the secret repositories. And even
today with all the educational adVer-
tising the banks of our country are
doing, these improVident methods of
provincialism still exist The money
lies dormant and insecure, and with
no earning power. Placed in the
Savings Department of this Bank
the savings are secure, immune from
theft, and become a steady earning
power. Start an account today, add
to it regularly, and prepare for
rainy day.

Parkerite Arraigned.

Jerry Wilson of Parker was ar
raigned in, the superior court Mon
day, on a charge of failure to pay
wages of employees after services had
been rendered. 1t appears in this
case that E. j. Murphy labored for
the defendant nearly one month and
that there was due him about $50,
and that at the end of the time the
defendant refused to pay him. This
is a misdemeanor in this state

Taps Deep Flow of Water.

Water in unlimited quantity has
been strnck at Fred Tatum's Rem
ada ranch north of Wenden and it
is expected that additional wells will
be put down at once.
The test was drilled in Buffers
Valley and, at a depth of 48O feet,
an unfailing supply of water ofmost
excellent quality was struck. The
water rose in the casing to a height
OF forty feet and there was no ap-
preciable draw down" after a ten
horsepower engine had driven the
pump continuously for five hours.

HIGH-GRADE IN
WESTERN ARIZ.
Streak of Copper Ore Struck that
Runs As Per Cent-Pride also hits
Good Grade of Ore-Mining News
of the Week.

Some fancy specimen copper rock
is coming from the property of the
Western Arizona Copper company.
The rich ore was broken into several
days ago, and this week General
Manager Goordon R. Stewart
brought into town a twenty-poound
sample that averages about As per
cent copper.
Since encountering the high grade
about thirty sacks OF ore have been
taken from the rich streak showing
in the breast of the tunnel. On
both sides of the high-grade streak
the ore averages high in the red
metal.
Another important strike made
during the week was at the Pride
property, where, in the course OF
sinking operations, a better grade of
ore than usual was encountered.
This shaft is down about $50 feet,
and as depth is gained the ore is of
higher grade. The management
: will crosscut the big orebody at the
200-foot level.
The hoist and gallows frame at the
Mammon have been set in position,
and in a few days sinking will be
started. At present a good grade
of ore is being mined from the tun-
mel levels of the property. General
Manager E. S. Osborne will be ship
ping from this property before many
weeks.
Two engineers have been making
a careful investigation of the Billy
Mack property for the past couple
Of weeks, preparatory to the develop
ment campaign which is to be in
augurated at this mine in the i'm
mediat future. In a few days the
result of their Investigations will
be made known, as we'll as the fu-
ture plans of the company.
A 35 h. p. West Coast hoist and
compressor for the ArizOna-McGin-
mis- mine arrived in Parker Thursday
morning The gallows-frame is
completed, and the machinery will
be moved to the mine and installed
at once. A large quantity of 2
inch pipe has also been received by
the company and will be used in ex-
tending the air line from the COM
pressor to the top of the mountain,
where the power drills will be used
in mining an immense body Of car
Donate copper ore. The ore will be
transported down to the road by
means, of an aerial tramway.
Drilling operations on the prop
erty of the Parker Syndicate have
not progressed materially the past
week, owing to delay in receiving
a new cable and tools for the outfit
The drill hole is down about 500
feet, and it is said that Messrs. Nc
Iver and Long and associates will
not abandon the present hole at less
than 1000 feet. rs
The Copper Basin shaft continues
to gain depth on the big sulphide ore
body, despite the handicap Of water,
which was encountered a few weeks
ago. The shaft is now down about

Henry Roberts Killed

AS a result of injuries received in
an automobile accident last week.
Henry Roberts, well known here and
a former resident of Parker, died at
Needles last Saturday. From the
published accounts it appears that
the deceased and w. J. Gilbreth, an
engineer on the Santa Fe, and also
Well-known here, were out riding in
the latter's car short distance from
Needles, when the car became un-
manageable and turned turtle, fatal
ly injuring Roberts and very serious
ly injuring Gilbreth.
They were found by the roadside
in an unconscious condition by a
passing car, the occupants of which
picked them up and took them to a
Needles hospital 1t is said that
Roberts never regained conscious
ness and that Gilbreth has been in a
critical condition since the accident.
The sudden passing of Henry Rob
erts will, be regretted by his many
friends throughout Arizona. At one
time the deceased was a large cattle
owner, but Of late years he has de-
voted his time to mining, owning
some valuable ground in the River
side mountains at the time of his
death.
He was about 55 years of age. and
about fifteen years ago he was mem
ber OF the territorial legislature
frOOm Mohave county. He lived in
Parker for several years He is sur
vived by one brother and a sister.

BOUSE MINES
ARE ACTIVE
Numerous Properties Surrounding
Bouse are Developing Commercial
0re-Swansea and Planet Pro-
ducers.

While the Bouse country has not
had much publicity the past few
months it is one of the most active
sections of northern Yuma county
Many new companies have entered
the Bouse field recently, and accord
ing to all reports are making good.
The immediate vicinity Of Bouse-
about four miles westerly there is
considerable activity. The United
Mines Co. of Arizona is working a
large force of men, and recently in
stalled two Chicago pneumatic COM
pressors, IS H. P West Coast Hoist,
bunk houses, office, assay office, and
large gallows frame. They have re-
Gently completed spur from the San
taFe railroad where they have large
oil tanks and get their oil in car load
lots, thereby making considerable
saving. Also use the spur for the
loading of ore which they are ship
ping.
The Mohican Copper company,
formerly known as the Goldzona
Scotchman Mining company, is down
about $50 feet, having recently
encountered some native copper and
the indications are excellent for
large bodies of ore when little
more depth is obtained. This COM
pany has also installed up-to-date
machinery, built new bunk houses
and have everything running in
first class shape
The Mohican continues to receive
considerable equipment. A $1,000
gallon tank for the engines, a 1O,-
900 gallon tank for settling water
and carload of mining timbers
were shipped from Los Angeles this
week
The Dutchman mine has struck a
considerable flow of water about the
400 foot level and have stopped work
in the shaft. Capt. Murray has gone
to Ell Paso and it is generally under
stood that they are going to put in a
pump and additional machinery to
continue sinking.
Three men are working on the
Lewis and Hamlin lease on the Mu-
dersbach property and have a car
of high grade copper ore on the
dump ready to ship, and the indica-
tions are that they are just getting
into the shoot from which a great
deal of ore was shipped from the sur
face.
Farther south in the Plomosa
Range, and about twelve miles from
Bouse, the Arizona Enterprise Min
ing Co. have just completed a new
road to the mine and are getting
ready to install hoist and necessary
machinery. Considerable ore has
been shipped from this property
from surface workings
Swansea and Planet are producing
regularly but their output is limited
on, account of the scarcity of cars
and the present smelter conditions.
Butler Bros. are working their
mine about midway between
Bouse and Swansea, and are getting
out good shipping grade of copper
and gold ore.
