Magma Chief Tunnel,

The great bore on the properties
of the Magma Chief, located in the
Superior district, is now in 275 feet
and from now on will make a net
gain of at least seven feet a day. In
short time three shifts will be
employed, when gain of at least ten
feet every twenty-four hours will be
made.
The formation now being worked
is of highly encouraging charac-
ter, being chiefly of iron manganese,
impregnated with copper, but Gen
eral Manager Kumke is not looking
for sensational developments until
the mountainside is penetrated for
at least a distance of 500 feet. The
mine is now fully equipped and the
machinery is running perfectly. A
large powerhouse was completed last
week, which makes operations pos
sible regardless of weather condi-
tions.

Gray Mine Getting Busy.

The owners of the Gray mine, seven
miles south Of Blythe Junction, are
getting busy preparatory to starting
up their mill by June /.
A lot Of new machinery has been
installed, including large Lane
Chilian, mill for amalgamating the
ore. The company has developed a
good supply of water for the mine,
two miles north of the property, and
a pumping plant installed to pump
water to the mine.
About twenty-five men are at
work developing the mine and sink
a new working shaft. This prop
erty will soon be among the class of
actual producing gold mines

Reach Into Many Channels.

These dollars reach into many
channels from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and in Arizona into every
channel, providing in reality the en-
tire states daily bread, directly and
indirectly. They keep the stores
open, the hotels and restaurants go
ing, the BARRIERS busy, the railroads
running and their working forces
increasing, the latter from coast to
coast, while in the broader field of
the country at large they are like
wise extending a good part of the
work which keeps the iron miners
digging, the steel workers at the
furnace, the logging camps in activ-
ity, the oil fields prosperous-and
they are drawing upon Arizona agri-
culturists for everything they can
produce and then reaching out over
the country for it's products of the
soil and food products of all kinds.

Urged Opening of Land.
(Arizona Republican,

One of the biggest projects, in
the way of increasing food produc-
tiOn in Arizona this year so far
brought to the attention of the Ari-
zOna Council of Defense was pre-
sented by Frederick M. Hall of Par
ker Friday, when he urged that
an attempt be made to Immediately
open for entry about 12O, 900 acres of
tillable land held now in the Colo
RADIO Indian reservation.
1t is the opinion of Parker resi-
dents that this land should be imme-
diately utilized for agricultural pur-
poses, it being one of the largest
tfllable tracts in Arizona. The Par
ker Chamber of Commerce has unani-
mOusly adopted a resolution urging
the department of the interior to i'm
mediately open the land.
The matter was referred to DR..
r. B. Won KleinSmid, chairman of
the committee on conservation and
production of foodstuffs, who will
make an immediate appeal to Wash
ington.
Reports were received from Parker
and Yuma to the effect that home
guard organizations had been per-
fected in each of those cities. At
Parker the organization had a char
ter membership of 1870.

STORIES ABOUT PARKER PEOPLE
(By A. W. ATHERTON.)

Al Angeroth, foreman of the Full

to be superintendent of the new
double outfit now driving things
down there "Al" who beats the
"all wool and yard wide" propo-
sition, both in quality and measure

of Riley. You'll remember, when
they were building the S. P, that
there was a perpetual fight with the
fierce rivers of the Sierras. Well,
Riley had been on the job for years
and always made good, but some
supe. got an idea that Riley wasn't
scientific enough, so they imported
some college chap, wrapped up in
diplomas, and Riley retired to raise
hogs and chickens. Mr.. College
built a costly scientific bridge.
Came down the river, and, with a
roar of laughter, took that bridge
with it, The Big Boss raved, and
finally sent for Riley, whom the
messenger found among his pets.
"Yees tell the ould mon he knows

senger returned and told More

Riley. IF you tell that college
