Ed CUFF HELD
TO ANSWER FOR
LACEY MURDER
Continued From Page One)

Ed Walker told of Cuff having in
weighed him down to the bridge below
town several days previous to the
shooting on pretense of giving him a
drink from a cache he had there, and
that when they got down there Cuff
pulled his gun on him and told him
that he was going to kill him for tax
ing his whiskey. Walker said he
strenuously denied to Cuff having any
thing to do with the whiskey, and re-
peated it many times, and Cuff kept
insisting that he was going to kill
him. After much argument Cuff ask
ed Walker that if he would let him
go whether he (Walker) would leave
town and not return while he Cuff
remained in blackberry. To this
Walker readily assented and immedi-
ately left town, as he said he believed
Cuff meant what he said.
The evidence, as a whole, seemed to
indicate that Cuff intended to "get"
somebody for taking his whiskey, and
did not seem to care just who it was,
and the unfortunate Lacey happened
to be the individual who got in his
way. Cuff is said to have made the
assertion that it was a good thing
that Carney and not Deputy Sheriff
Chamberlain had come to the room
and opened the door, for if he (Cham-
berlain) had he would have winged
him also.
The gun used was a 80 caliber Colts
revolver on a As caliber frame. The
ball passed entirely through the body
of Lacey and the corner binding of
suit case, tore a furrow through
shelf in the room and lodged in a bun
die of towels and linens lying on the
shelf.
Lacey was an old miner, well known
in this section, and was over so years
of age. By all who knew him he is
said to have been a harmless old fell
low and bothered no one.
Cuff is also a miner and well known
to the people of the mining regions.
AS far as learned he has. never had
any trouble before in his life. 1t is
not unlikely that the Bootleg" in
question had a great deal to do with
putting the desire to kill in his mind.
A bail of $4,000 was set by Justice
Smith, in default of which Cuff was
ordered confined in the county Jail I'M
til his trial at the May jury session
of the superior court. Cuff did not
take the stand in his preliminary hear
ing yesterday.

HIGHGRADE FOUND
IN X.RAY AND
VEIN IS WIDE

A. w. Galpin, prominent Phoenix
broker, accompanied by Smith Chit
tick and VIM. H. Mann, also of Phoe-
nix, spent Saturday and Sunday in the
district inspecting the property of the
Chloride x Ray Mining Company in
which they are directors.
The Chloride X Ray Mining Com
pany owns the Spargo property sit
uated just above the Pay Roll mine.
Present development work is being
done under contract in driving the
tunnel on the Marietta claim.
Mr.. Galpin states that the finances
of the company were successfully
provided for and that large power
plant would soon be installed. This
will consist of a 100 horse power en-
CINE and a five drill compressor. A
road will be built at once to connect
with the road leading to the Redemp-
ton mine.
Messrs. Chittick and Mann, who
were paying their first visit to the
district expressed surprise at the ex-
tent of the mineral showing and pre-
dicted great future.

SALT LAKE CITY, March %
Nine switchmen and two car inspec-

PANAMA CANAL
ONCE UNNECESSARY

Biologists have long known that the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans were once
directly connected by water that ex-
tended across the present site of Pan
ANA and adjacent areas in Central
America. The continents were thus
separated during the Eocene and Oil
gocene epochs-not so very long ago,
as biologists reckon time. At the end
of Oligocene time, however, the sur
face of the earth in the region about
the site of Panama was raised by
earth movements which closed the
mid-American passage and establish
ed continuous land connection between
North and South America-connection
which until recently was believed to
have remained unbroken until the skill
and indomitable pertinacity of United
States Army engineers cut the bond
at Panama.
The separation of the oceans caused
profound changes in their inhabitants,
who had been able to wander unim-
peded from ocean to ocean but now
found themselves restricted in their
range. Many species, marooned in an
unfavorable environment, soon sue
cumbed in the struggle for existence.
Thus in Miocene time (the next epoch)
the inhabitants of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans gradually became diff
ferent, and they have now become so
distinct that scarcely a single species
is common to the seas on the two
sides of the Isthmus.
The mid-American land barrier is
generally thought to have remained
intact from Miocene time down to the
present day, but this belief is erro-
neous. T. Wayland Vaughn, a geol-
ogist of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior
on critically studying the fossil corals
collected on Carrie Greek, in Imperial
County, Cal, discovered that these
corals resemble those of the Atlantic
Ocean-that they are closely related
to Pliocene and post-Piocene forms
that inhabited the waters about Flor
ida and the West Indies. This fact
seems to mean that after the Atlantic
had been separated from the Pacific
in Miocene time, the two oceans were
again united in late Miocene or PHO
Gene time, the interoceanic connection
permitting the Atlantic forms to reach
points at the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia, while conditions not yet un-
derstood excluded the Pacific fauna
from that area. The place at which
the oceans were connected is not
known, but it is supposed to have
been somewhere near the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec.
Mr.. Vaughan's report on corals from
Carrie Creek has just been published
by the U. S. Geological Survey as Pro-
fessional Paper 98-T. This paper,
which is extremely technical and of
interest chiefly to professional geolo-
gists, will be sent on request made to
the Director of the U. S. Geological
Survey, Washington, D. C.

Tom Reed Gold Mines company:
There was mined and milled from
the mines of the Tom Reed Gold Mines
company 1882 tons of dry ore, and
the production of gold and silver was
as follows:
Value.
Gold and silver. S528, 945.84
The average value of the ore was
$3.50, and the production was above
$44, 900 per month. The company en-
gagged in big development campaign
during the year and blocked out a
large tonnage of excellent ore. At
the present time the company is in
better shape for production than at
any other time in its existence. The
mill is to be enlarged and many bet
terments are being worked out.
Other Mines
Other mines In the county produced
gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc, tung-
stem and molybdenite TO the amount of
approximately 100000, which makes
the total production of the county $4,-
Az, 259.74, a large increase over the
previous year.
During the year Mohave county con-
tinued to progress in the development
of its mines, there being many more
mining companies engaged in legiti-
mate enterprises during the year than
during 1915. In this particular the
Wallapai mining district was the
greatest gamer, the Maynard and 9TH
er districts of Wallapai mountain com
ing next. The new companies have
comfortable bank accounts and excep-
tionally good properties to operate.
The old blackberry mine has been tax
en- over by corporation of Salt Lake
people and is making good, as also are
the McCracken mines, which have
DSSh Aule LUZ years.
At Chloride so companies are oper-
ating, and many of them are getting
results. Among the molybdenum and
tungsten companies several are max
ing a product that is bringing big
prices in the market. At the old Nc
Nicely mines, near Mineral Park, a
teaching plant has besn installed and
copper catholics are being sent to. the
market.
There is excellent ground for the
belief that the year 1917 is destined
to be one of the greatest, from a min
eral standpoint, that Mohave county
has ever entered. Development all
along the line is the watchword, and
everyone who goes into the game Iegi-
will surely be heavily reward
ed. The year has already brought
in new gold producer in the United
Eastern, with its immense ore bodies
and uptodate milling plant, which is
now producing in excess of $4,000
monthly.
