RICH FIND MADE
BY FRANK JACKSON
[From Wednesdays Daily MinerI

Frank S. Jackson, formerly q
printer on the Daily Miner and well
known in Kingman and Prescott, has
discovered a copper-gold mine in the
Parker country, Yuma county. He
left several months ago on a prospect
ing trip and had not been heard from
until he arrived in Parker recently
with samples of rich copper ore from
a find made north of the Parker reser-
walton.
Mr.. Jackson is associated with Phoe-
nix people in the claims and it is ex-
pected that their development will be-
gin before the warm weather puts a
stop to active outdoor work in that
region.
Frank jackson is one of the pioneer
printers of the state and one of the
best fellows in the county. His thou
sands of friends will wish him well
with his new property.

The president will meet with his
cabinet tomorrow for the last time
before beginning the actual writing of
his message to congress, and, there
fore, it is expected that the German
situation will be dealt with very fully.
He is hopeful that no time will be
lost in organizing the house, so that
he may deliver his address, as soon
as possible after the extra session
convenes.
The attitude of both congress and
public opinion is sought in order to
represent both as fully as possible.
AS to the former, the president is
anxious not to transgress the consti-
tutional prerogatives of congress as
the war-making body. 1t is realized
that in the ultimate analysis the re-
sponsibility for decision rests there.

Demand for action on the part of

BATTLE FLAGS
IN CAMPS Of
BOTH PARTIES
By Associated Pres. Leased wirsI

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Frac-
tional battle flags were hoisted to-
night in both Democratic and Repub-
lican camps in preparation for the
conferences tomorrow and Saturday
over house organization plans. The
Republicans are divided along many
lines. While it is generally conceded
that the party will have formal tick
ct in the field, the progressive, by
partisan, temporary organization and
anti-Mann factions are expected to
have much to say before a program
is agreed upon.
Democrats face a serious problem in
the announced opposition of Repre-
sentative Gallivan of Massachusetts, a
"wet" insurgent, generally credited
with score of followers, to the orga-
nization plan for reseating old com
mittee chairmen and advancing other
committeeman to chairmanships under
the seniority rule.
Mr.. Gallivan announced today that
while he would support Speaker Clark
for reelection, he would not go into
the Democratic caucus, but would op-
pose the Democratic organization COM
mittee plan and would further urge
the naming of several Republicans to
committee chairmanships.
q am unalterably opposed to the
southern Democrats remaining in the
saddle throughout the coming con-
gress," Mr.. Gallivan said. 'They have
had virtually the choice of chairman
ships in the past and they should not
have the margin. This is no time for
one section of the country to be con-
trolling the house."
Democrats will caucus tomorrow
afternoon and a complete organization
plan will be figured out. The COM
mittee Of q will meet tomorrow after
noon and prepare its final recommen-
dations to be presented to the Repub-
lican conference. 1t already has adopt
ed a resolution recommending that a
committee of Is, to be headed by the
speaker, name the. committees.
Plans for the conduct of business on
the Republican side also will be
'thrashed out in the Republican confer
ence.

Buys Machinery

F. E. Steffy of the Western Ore
Concentration company of Chloride,
returned yesterday from Los Angeles
where he closed a deal with the X. and
K. Flotation Machinery company foT
battery of three machines for the
Chloride plant.
The machines cover four complete
separations of the ores found in the
Chloride district, and, Mr.. Stefy
states, make the best separation of
any fotation process he has used in
his many years experience. They
separate the gangue, lead, iron and
zinc to a fine point, where the penalty
will be entirely eliminated. Mr.. Steffy
also closed a deal for several modern
roughing tables Of another type.

TO START
MINING OPERATIONS
CFrom Thursdays Daily Miner)

Fred A. Bletcher and Charles P.
Blanton, who are interested in the
Gold Bullion Mines company, which
owns a big group of claims northwest
of the old Moss mine, have been in
Kingman several days attending to
company business.
Mr.. Bletcher is an old-time Yavapai
county man, but has been with the
Tom Reed company the last year, re-
signing recently to take the manage
ment of the Gold Bullion Mines COM
pany. He has made a thorough in
vestigation of the ground covered by
the company's locations and expresses
the opinion that it is one of the best
propositions he has seen in that coun-
try. The mining editor of the Daily
Miner, who is familiar with the group,
is also of the opinion that the COM
pany is the owner of good property,
and that development will place it in
the pay class.

INSANE MAN
DECLARES He
IS MURDERER
. (FrOm Thursdays Daily Adfner.)

Deputy Sheriff John Harris yester-
day brought M. ]. Flittie to Kingman
from blackberry and placed him in the
county Jail on an insanity charge. As
he had been acting strangely for sew
eral weeks, officers had been keeping
a watchful eye on Flittie, especially
since he was known to have a gun at
all times. When they concluded the
opportune time had arrived, they ar
rested him and he offered no resist
ance. When searched it was found
that he carried an old rusty penknife
and gun, which was loaded, but out
of order. He labors under the hallu-
cination that he has murdered some
men in the country north of here and
that parties are after him.
Nothing is known of the unfortun-
ate man, but he is supposed to have
come from Nevada about month ago.
An examination into his sanity was
held before Judge Ellis yesterday,
Drs. Tilton and White assisting. At
the examination Flittie claimed that
he carried the gun because he was
afraid of some one getting him" for
killing a Montana cattleman 25 miles
south of Battle Mountain, Nevada.
He was sure that some one was fol-
lowing him.
Upon being questioned regarding
his birthday he was unable to remem-
Der. When asked who the president
of the United States was he said, 81
can't Just remember, but if you will
give me a little time 1 will find out
for you"
He was adjudged insane and COM
mitted to the state asylum at Phoe-
nix, to which institution he will be
taken this morning by Deputy Sheriff
John Harris.

CHLORIDE To
GET PATENT
TO TOWNSHIP

H. W. MacFarren of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, who has been looking into the
matter of the Chloride townsite ap-
plication, returned to Kingman yes
terday,> and in conversation with a
Daily Miner reporter stated that he
was of the opinion that the applica-
ton for the townsite patent would go
through without opposition. The fact
that there might be one or two real
mining claims inside the limits of the
townsite will have no bearing on the
townsite, as only the ground included
in the claim will be excluded, should
the mine owner so desire. Unless the
calm is a valid and existing one no
attention will be paid to it.
The understanding is that the Santa
Fe railroad company has relinquished
all that part of its right in and to sec
ton 8, which caused some trouble
heretofore, the fact that the railroad
had grant rights in the section caus-
ing the rejection of the original ap-
plication. The new application will
cover more than 200 acres, which will
make of Chloride a good sized town.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-While
it is assumed from the defensive mea-
sures already taken by the military
arm of the government that President
Wilson, in advising in congress next
week, will ask for war against Ger
many or a declaration that a state of
war exists, it is known he will speak
along broad lines, dealing lightly with
incidents leading up to the present
crisis.
Officials feel that the time is past
when incidentals should be discussed,
and henceforth that only fundamental
questions of both present and future
American safety should be considered.
As result, the president is gathering
opinions and suggestions from all
sides as to the sort of an address to
make in the coming crucial hour.
The general situation has not been
changed by the speech of German
Chancellor Won Bathmam-Hollweg to-
day, according to the view tonight of
officials. Germany, it was said, has
consistently attempted to lay the
blame for her acts on other nations.
On previous occasions President Will
son has taken the position that Ger
many is in no way justified in carry
ing on submarine ruthlessness because
of the British blockade.
Only complete abandonment of un-
restricted submarine warfare could
change the attitude of the United
States, it has been said officially re-
Gently, and press reports indicate that
the German chancellor did not discuss

INCORRECT SIGNS
ON ROADS CAUSE
AUTOISTS TROUBLE
CFrom Thursday,s paily NIiner.l


Maurice LauZOn, who returned few
days ago from Salt Lake City, reports
that incorrect signs on the roads of
Mohave and Clark counties in Ari-
zOna and Nevada, respectively, caused
himself and chauffeur, George Smith,
an interminable amount of trouble.
They found the sign. on the Eldorado
Canyon, where a branch takes off to
the James camp, about $50 feet from
the forks of the road. At this point
they took the wrong road and did not
discover it until they came to another
fork of the road, where they found
another sign, and turned back to the
right road.
After leaving Las Vegas, New, they
were directed to take the road point
ed out by the signboard, just outside
the town, and, in consequence, fol-
lowed the Tonopah road ten miles.
Turning back they went toward Las
Vegas until they came to the ceme-
terry, where they found the only live
man in the town to be the sexton, who
directed them on the right road. He
also informed him that automobiles
had to return every day to make in
quiry for the right road to st. Thomas
and other northern points, although
the people of Las Vegas knew the
sign to be misleading.
It would appear that the commits
sioners of Clark county, Nevada, were
very lax in their duty to have a promi-
nent highway improperly signed, as it
might cause loss of life, as well as
inconvenience and hardship to many
travellers.

Among the many things provided
for the entertainment of the Chicago
Cubs yesterday was a trip to the Wrig-
ley mine. The boys were shown about
the camp by Manager Guyot and later
enjoyed dinner at the camp boarding
house. They were returned to town
in time to begin hostilities against the
local team. The visitors were loud
in their praise of the treatment ac-
corded them and said that they hoped
the future would bring them again to
this section.

FURTHER. GAINS
BY CAMPBELL
IN RECOUNT I
IBy Associated Press Leased wireI

PHOENIX, Ariz., March 29.-In tbe
recount today in the governorship con
test Campbell gained seven votes in
Hayden precinct No. 2, Gila county,
and one in Upper Aqua Fria, Yava-
pal county. Claims of a gain of one
in Miami No. 8 and two in Pirtleville
were taken under ad1sement by the
court.
The Campbell managers demanded
a count of eight, with a possible five
more in the precincts of Alamo, Yuma
county and Walnut Grove, Yavapai
county, on ballots that had been re-
jected by election boards, but which it
is contended should be counted for
Campbell under previous rulings. If
these and similar ballots in Robinson
precinct, Cochise county, are allowed
by the court, claims of gains on SINH
lar ballots in several other precincts
will be made.
There are fifteen more precincts to
be recounted, all small ones, which
the inspection showed to yield gains in
the aggregate of 16 for Campbell.
Probably a stipulation allowing those
gains will be made tomorrow and the
recount will be over, leaving only to
be decided the result Of the investiga-
ton of Snowflake precinct, the ques-
ton of 73 ballots in precincts where
the number of ballots counted exceed
ed the number cast as shown by the
poll list, and the question of the ad-
mission of ballots that had been re-
jected by the election boards.

CUBS
EASILY DOWN
KINGMAN TEAM
(By HOWARD SMITH)
[From Tuesdays Daily Minerl

Well, it's all over. The Cubs won
p to 4; but, in spite of the lop-sided
score, the game was not so bad. Just
about the time everybody seemed
about to die from non-excitement some
player would "bust" into the game
with a home-run or a one-handed
catch.
The locals started off like winners,
but stopped too soon. Bale got on on
an error. Robinson did the same
thing a moment later. Price hit
two-bagger and cable" scored. Bra
shear singled, Robinson crossing the
plate. Hansen went out, but Price
came in, making a total of three runs
in that inning. The fourth run was
made in the sixth.
Old Tom Seaton, after warming up
for about two hours, went in and
showed the fans how he used to do
it in the defunct Federal League. Tom
had a curve that would go around a
house, and he used it to good ad-
vantage. After Tom got tired George
label, who was secured by means of
recall from the Los Angeles club, went
in and tried his luck. 1t was Just as
good as Toms, and, consequently, the
Kingmanites did not get any more
runs.
Dutch Reuther, twisting himself up
in knot, uncorked a home-run over
the right field fence in the first inning.
Herb Murphy and little George Shay
evidently got mad at this, and later
in the game each secured one him
self to file away in his memorandum
book. Smith, no relation to Ham,"
was the batting star of the day, secur-
ing five bingles out of six trips to the
plate. Jacobson, one of the speediest
outfelders in the game, was right on
Smiths heels with four hits.
Tommy Clark of the locals was all
up in the air. He walked the biggest
part of them, and lined out those he
did not walk. Archibald made pref
ty double. With a man on first and
none out, he picked up a ball hit to
him, touched second and whipped it to
first before the Cubs could realize
what he was doing. If Archie had
started out when he was younger no
doubt he would be up in the big time
with the rest of this gang.
By the way, they had one man from
Joliet, Illinois. They did not say
what he was there for, but from the
way his hair is cut we have a grave

.PROSPEGTOR MAKES
RICH SILVER FIND
NEAR BULL CANYON

E. NJ. Binford came in yesterday
from the vicinity of Bull canyon, in
the Wallapai mountains, where he has
been prospecting for a month or more.
He brought with him samples of ore
that gave returns of better than 900
ounces silver.
The ore was found in a good sized
vein, a short distance from the old Hi
bernian mine, and is quite unlike the
ore of that famous old property. He
reports that vein of manganese more
than 100 feet wide and 1000 feet in
length was found in the same section.
All the ores appear to carry a high
percentage of manganese and it is
possible these may also carry values
in copper.

SIGNAL HONORS
PAID MEMORY
OF DR.. COWIE
From Tuesdays Daily MinerI

The remains of DR.. A. NJ. Cowie
were laid to rest Sunday with impress
sive ceremonies. The full Masonic
funeral service was conducted. Rev.
Thomas H. Dodd read the service at
the Elks' hall, and the Elks' quar-
tette sang a number of hymns. At
the grave C. B. Cravens continued the
service in his capacity as an officer of
that lodge. All members of the lodge
were present in uniform and gave re-
sponses.
The high esteem in which the de-
ceased was held was attested by the
numerous floral offerings, among them
being pieces from county officials,
Elks' lodge, Masonic lodge, State
Medical Association, and DR.. Flynn of
Prescott. All were large and of the
finest quality that could be obtained.
These, together with the many others,
formed one OF the most 0eautlful dis
plays ever seen at a funeral in King
man.
The Automobiles in the funeral pro-
cession formed a line nearly a mile
long, and each held its full capacity
of people, who gathered about the
grave to pay their last respects to the
memory of the beloved physician who
had lived among them for a quarter
of century. DR.. COwie was aged SO
years and days.
