HAND CRUSHED;
DRIVES so MILES

With his right hand badly
mangled and suffering excruciat-
ing pain, Walter Brown yesterday
noon reached Kingman from
Pierce Ferry, so miles northeast
of here. Wednesday afternoon
he started to cross the ferry and
in some manner caught his glove
in the blocks on the ferry cable.
The glove was drawn into the
moving pulley and two fingers of
the right hand were crushed. In
an effort to extricate himself he
was thrown into the river and
broken loose from the grip of the
pulley. As soon as possible he
started to town, but his machine
broke down on the way and it
was not until noon yesterday that
he arrived. DR.. Tilton amputated
the two fingers and part of the
hand and then took him to the
Gulley hospital, where he was
resting easy last evening.
Walter Brown has a host of
friends in this county who will
learn of his accident with deep
regret.

WONDERFUL SILVER
IN WRIGLEY MINES
From Friday,s Daily Miner,

In the crosscut from the 2OO-foo5
level of the Wrigley mines an 80-inch
vein of ore running into thousands of
dollars in silver values has been open
ed. The strike was made yesterday,
and while the crosscut has been in gold
values the sweetening that the streak
will give the whole mass is most pleas
ing to the management.
The Wrigley vein is one of the
greatest veins in the county, being in
the neighborhood of 100 feet between
walls, and passibly more. Lenzes of
excellent ore have been cut through
this big mass of vein and the samples
show milling values. In other open
ings splendid milling ore has been
found, these openings being scattered
along the length of at least five
claims. N. E. Guyot is the manager
of the property and has made a big
success of his administration.

SHELTER COMMISSION
GETS ANOTHER START
IBy Associated Press Leased wirel

DENVER, April ga stipulation
between attorneys for the smelter in
vestigation committee named by the
last legislature and for the securities
on the bond off the state treasurer
filed today in district court, made
available the $4,000 the legislature
appropriated to carry on the smelter
inquiry. The stipulation provided the
state treasurer, who had been estop-
ped from honoring warrants drawn
by the commission by sction of the
sureties, because of supposed uncon-
stitutionality of the law making the
appropriation, might honor the war
rants without the surety being held
responsible for money so paid out,
should the law not be sustained.

CROP OUTLOOK IN
BIG SANDY GOOD

A representative of the Miner staff
was among the many visitors to the
Big Sandy Tuesday, and from the
appearance of the fields there it looks
as if the good people of that section
are doing all within their power to
help out "our good old Uncle Sam" in
the present food crisis.
From one end of the district to the
other, wherever possible, they have
crops coming up.
Together with this there is scatter
ed along the way many most beautiful
little orchards, and there will probably
be a large crop from these trees from
the present indications.
From one end of the long road to
the other there is persistent sugges-
ton of thrift, and at this time it is
most commendable for all to assist in
helping the country from under the
threatening hand of food scarcity.

SPRING RODEO IS
CLOSE At HAND;
CATTLE FATTEN

The spring rodeo is now close at
hand, hasty preparations being made
for its Inauguration within a short
time.
The cattlemen of the Sandy section
have nearly finished gathering the
horses necessary for roundup work
The cattle are picking up on the green
feed, which is growing rapidly from
the recent rain and the past week or
more of continued warm weather. A
plan for starting the roundup on the
first of the coming month is under
way.
The cattlemen of this county have
just passed through one of the hardest
winters ever experienced in the dis
trict, and to say that they are pleas
ed to see the warm weather and the
recent rain storm of week or so back
would be putting it mildly.

BIG SHIPMENT ELKHART ORE

Yesterday evening R. E. Whitcomb,
general manager of the Elkhart mine,
returned from Needles, where he de-
livered 503 tons of Elkhart ore to the
Needles mill. This ore was tested out
in the big plant, the saving of values
by the oil flotation method being very
high. The concentration ran about 40
per cent lead and carried values in
gold and silver. The zinc was not so
good, the iron going into that product.
This is the second shipment of ore
from the Elkhart under its new man
agement, the first shipment being high
grade ore.

MAY MOVE ASHES
OF LAFAYETTE
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, April 26, $40 pm
The arrival of the French mission
in the United States is the oc-
cassion for many expressions of
appreciation in the French press
for the cordiality of its reception
and its significance in cementing
the relations between the two re-
publics.
La Liberte says it recalls the
great manifestation in the United
States when Lafayette returned
to that country 40 years after he
had shared in the victory of York
town.
As a sequel to the present mis-
sion, popular movement now is
taking form for the removal of
the ashes of Lafayette from the
Picpus cemetery and to deposit
them in the Invalides alongside
those of Napoleon.

RED MOUNTAIN
PROPERTY HAS
GOODSHOWING

The mining editor of the Miner, in
company of E. A. Burns, Kean st.
Charles and a chauffeur, paid a visit to
the mines known formerly as the Red
Gap group, returning Thursday last.
A number Of years ago the editor
made casual examination of these
properties and was then greatly i'm
pressed with their possibilities, and
that impression had not faded at the
time of the last visit. The mountain,
red with iron oxides, is there and
through it is the vein that makes the
Red Gap quite a wonderful property.
The vein has been exposed in many
places, and for a distance of 600 feet
on the dip. Work is progressing
along the strike of the vein to ascer-
tain the dimensions of the shoot. While
there has been some faulting, it ap-
pears to the writer that this can be
readily traced out; in fact, the work
now under way, if carried to a con-
clusion, will predicate the ore body.
At the east portal the vein shows
in the bottom of the drift to be 10
or II feet wide, while the richer vein
being opened above the roof shows
a width of from 1S inches to four feet.
The ore from this streak is being piled
upon the dump and a sample taken
from the fines gave return of $4,000
gold and about $1,000 silver to the
ton. The sample was low, on account
of the waste going into the fines, leav-
ing. the coarse rock in the pile much
richer. Pieces weighing up to a
pound were taken from the coarse pile
and showed great deal of free gold.
Samples taken from all the dumps
gave results above $50 gold. These
dumps have several hundred tons of
ore in them. Every opening in the
shows ore, although some of
the drifting was carried on below the
vein. In these drifts it would appear
that the vein had been broken and
heavy pieces of ore injected into the
mass of broken country and wall rock.
Some of this material shows free gold
and will run high in silver.
The Red Mountain mines, as they
are now to be called, are situated in
one of the most picturesque parts Of
the Weaver district, about so miles
northwest of Kingman. The property
is easily accessible by automobile, a
good road running within a few miles
Of the property, and an Indifferent
road thence onward. For many years
the mines have been inscrmittently de-
veloped by Kean st. Charles and as
sociates. Under their direction drifts
have been advanced into the vein at
various points, although no studied
effort was made to carry development
along the trend of the vein. The work
has exposed many thousand tons of
excellent milling ore.
A good camp has been established
near the mines and spring of water
for camp use opened up. A large
force of men is being put on and
two or three shifts will be worked on
the ore body, following the vein strike
INTO the hill. With proper financing
his property is one of the most invit-
ng that we have examined in the
county, mining costing less than any
in the range and its possi-
oilities being greater than many of the
gold mines that have attracted coun-
;ry-wide attention.

KINGMAN TEAM
HAS No CHANCE
WITH NEEDLES
By HAM

"They came, they saw, they con-
quered," as the old proverb says, but
this time the Kingman ball club fool
ed them. They came and they saw,
but they did not conquer. Needles
came out on the long end, 6 to 5.
This is the result of the local base
ball clubs trip to the California town
last Sunday.
It started out like a regular ball
game, but before the end came the
best fan in the world would not have
recognized it as an exhibition of the
national pastime. Errors, bone-head
base running and hits were pulled off
every minute, making the contest any
thing but dull.
1t doesn't sound right for loser to
'holler," but in this case we believe
the local ball club has one coming. The
Needles umpire was so rank that in
the ninth inning he let one Needles
player swing at five balls before call
ing him out, the batter taking a full
swing at each ball. This was but an
example of what the visitors had to
contend with.
The home fans showed how unsport-
manlike they were by insulting several
of the Kingman players.
1t is natural to get "balling out"
from the home fans, but this time they
called the players things that, were it
not for the fact that they were on the
ball gorunds, someone would have
home with a black eye and a good
memory.
Old Carl Thompson was brought !
back from the grave to twirl the game
against KiHgman- When this bird
was in his prime the writer was going
around in baby carriage. But at
tha ,filn't-heave a bad brand of
ball
H ne had some of his brain
left wsf Price with two on and
two dow critical moment in one
inning.
Against the above hermit was Tom
my Clark, one of the best little mound |
artists in the country, but he was
hampered by lack of support, every |
time man hit ball into a fielder's |
mitt the latter would either drop it or
throw it so far no one could find it.
In one lining with three on bases the
batter hit single one to the infeld.
By every rule in base ball the ball |
belonged to the second baseman, but
the first baseman could not see it that |
way. He stuck his mitts up in the air
and the sphere hit him right in the
breadbasket and rolled for about a
block, two or three runs being scored
on the play.
By right the batter was out auto
matically, but, of course, the umpire
didn't know enough about the game
to be able to figure that out.
In the eighth Archibald replaced |
Clarke, but with the umpire it was
useless to try; anyway, when they did
get a runner on the bases he would
pull a boner and spoil things.
Bale was on first and no one out.
Robinson, good hitter, was up. Bale
was off first and started before the
pitcher made a motion to wind up, and
he was out by ten feet. A minute
later Robinson laced out single that
would have put the runner on third,
and Price followed it up by another
hit, but Robinson could not score on it.
Those Needles wise birds would have
sure been out of luck had it not been
for one thing-a wet town.
No box score is being published
owing to the fact that in the general
excitement the Needles manager ran
away with it.
