THAT LITTLE GIRL
FROM ALASKA"

The New York Herald discovered
her; she had come all the way from
Alaska to see real civilization for the
first time in her seventeen summers.
Never before had she gazed at such
buildings. nor ridden on such busses
and subway.trains. She was the "in-
nocent daughter Of the frozen North"
according to the metropolitan papers;
she was the child Of the SHOWS"
1t Is unrecorded Just how she ar.
rived in New York, but after she had
put up at one of the city's best hotels,
the newspapers. one after another, got
wind OF her advent. Reporters flocked
to her suite; che was invited every
where; she was even offered posi-.
tion In q well.known musical comedy.
The public were OF course. anxious to
learn what she thought OF this "ciyili
zation." and she was followed con
/ tinually by interyiewers. Here is what
one OF them wrote Of her In The Her

MISTAKE IS MADE ].
RESTITUTION OFFERED

On the twelfth day OF last month a
communication to the board of county
commissioners was filed by the Inde-
pendent with tke county clerk, in
which it was stated that mistake
had been made in a recent charge
TO the county for supplies. BY the
mistake the county was charged an
amount greatly in excess OF what It
tended. The communication contained
proposal that the Independent be
permitted TO make restitution of the
amount in excess by entering into a
contract with the county TO do all
the county advertising at the rate of
81 per month for three months.
At the present time the county is
paying for this work at the rate of
Sl25 per month. on this basis it will
be benefited to an amount greatly in
excess of the overcharge.
In justice to the county commission.
ers we will say that when the bill
was presented we claimed that il was
a fair charge, and 1t was on this claim
that it was allowed Our bookkeeper
afterwards discovered that part OF
the items had been included in our
bill to the county the month previous
In voluntarily Offering to make good
our mistake we do not claim greater
virtue than other men, for we believe
that any business house in Elko would
do the same thing under similar cir
cumstanccs.

RUGGLES GLAD HE'S
 BACK FROM EAST

w. O. Ruggles, exalted ruler of Kingman lodge No. 46S, B. P. o. Elks, delegate to the national reunion of EIks at Boston recently, returned home Sunday and reports having had an enjoyable trip east, although he says he suffered considerably from the heat.
 MT. Ruggles reports that the Elks this year held the greatest reunion ever held by the order. Patriotism and the war spirit pervaded the gath ering. One million dollars was appro- priated for the Red Cross war fund and the national body adopted a per capita assessment to carry on similar charitable work in the future.
 Mir. Ruggles on the trip east visited New Orleans, Washington and other southern cities. He returned by the northern route.
 "I'm glad to get back to Arizona where it is nice and cool" he said this morning.

RANGES NOW WELL
 STOCKED WITH SHEEP

The Daily Miner today received a letter from Paul E. Redington, of AL buquerque, N. M., district United States forester, calling attention to a recent article in this paper concerning sheep raising in the national forests. The total area of the national forests, says Mir. Redington, is 155,OOO,OOO, in stead of 7OO,OOO,OOO acres, as was stated in the Miner.
 "The casual reader might get the impression from the article" says Mir. Redington, "that there are no sheep grazed within the national forests, whereas about 100000 are grazed each year. This is practically all that the available range within the national forests will support. not counting of course the range used by cattle, which is also practically fully stocked"
 The letter adds that the writer is in full sympathy with the proposal to put all natural resources to work dur ing this critical period in the nations history.

MINER BELIEVED MURDERED AT
 MINERAL PARK
David Scott MysteriOusly Disappeared Last Febru- ary, Authorities Working On Case; Feared He Would Be Killed.

Whether he was murdered, or, sui fering under a mental alteration, has fled the country to escape fancied highwaymen, is the question which the county authorities are trying to solve in connection with the mysteri- ous disappearance last February of David Scott, a miner of the Mineral Park section. Those engaged in in vestigating the case are puzzled by the apparent complicated state of af- fairs and are endeavoring to deter mine whether there has been a crime committed and if so who the guilty party is.
 Early last February, Scott optioned some mines he had in the Mineral Park district, obtaining therefor $500 in cash. Upon receiving the money, he conceived the idea that he might be killed. One day he went to Chlor- 'ide on business and the thought seem ed to weigh heavily on his mind. Re turning that night, he confided his fears to the Moyle brothers, operating nearby, and stated he feared to stay alone in his cabin. The Moyle brothers told Scott to move his belongings over to their cabin and the latter is said to have started off home with that in view. That was the last seen of Scott.
 After he failed to show up in a day or so, the Moyle brothers went over to Scott's cabin and found it locked. They concluded that he had changed his mind and was away temporarily on business. Failing to return after some time, the matter was brought to the attention of the sheriff's of flee. The case was investigated then and it was reported someone in the vicinity had received a letter from Scott in Los Angeles.
 After a lapse of several months during which no word was received from Scott, together with alleged suspicious developments, the matter has been brought to the attention of the authorities again. Deputy Sher- if Harris went over to Scott's cabin yesterday and made further invesu- gation. Scott's clothing was found in the cabin, the front door was locked and the back door was closed. An exhaustive search of all abandoned mine holes in the neighborhood was made, but there was nothing that would throw any light on the case.

Since his arrival recently from Globe, Little had made a number of speeches to strikers, in all of which he attacked the government and urged the men to shut down all mines of the Butte district. His record was under investigation by federal authorities whose attention had been called to his activities.
 On the other hand, a report was current that Little was in the employ of a prominent detective agency and one theory was that he was victim of the radical element of which he ap- peared to be member.
 Little addressed a letter to Governor Campbell of Arizona recently, protest ing against deportations of the Indus trial Workers from Bisbee. Governor Campbell replied, telling Little he re- sented his interference threats.
 Little was understood to have the confidence of William Haywood, sec retary of the Industrial Workers.
 When Little's body was cut down a card was found pinned to the under clothing. It bore in red crayon letters

A small crowd of the younger set of Kingman went to Oatman last ev- ening and had a good swim in the Oldtrails plunge, later going to the St. Francis where they were kind en- ough to furnish a little music and an impromptu dance was started, every enc enjoying themselves to the limit. The party consisted of Gladys Preble, Edith Mensch, Evelyn Purcell, Lee Hinch, Bryan Mensch, Vernon Hubbs, Bill Bonelli and Howard Smith, while Guy Mensch chaperoned the bunch. It was more or less a farewell party to Miss Purcell as she left this morning for Holbrook to be gone indefinitely.
