John Jennings, of Junius, was
brought last night to the Madison
hospital suffering from a fractured

limb and made him as comfortable as
possible.
Mr.. Jennings was driving not far

STATE HAIL INSURANCE
By ]. N. Hagan, Com. Of Ins.
Continued from last weekly

l therefore take it, that the provid-
ent farmer will this year more than
ever before, look to one or another Of
the aforementioned insurance schemes
for protection Of his crops, and with
your permission, let me call to your
attention, that last, but not least, we
have the state hail insurance. This
plan of insurance has been in opera
! ton for six years, with limited sue
cess. This for several reasons, some
of which are as follows: The law
provides that the assessor shall take
the applications when on his rounds
assessing property. But, as the as
SCISSORS duties end before the season
for writing the bulk of hail insurance
begins, very little business is written
BY the assessors. They can write in
surance any time later, but the fee is
only one-half cent per acre, and few
will make the extra trip. Another
reason is that cash must accompany
the application for state insurance.
This is a great handicap and loses
much business for the state, especial
ly since the banks offer to carry notes.
taken for insurance without interest
until fall.
In my opinion the greatest handi-
cap to a general patronage is, per-
haps the utter lack of funds for boost
ing and publicity. The great major
ity Of farmers either know nothing
about the plan, or they have a warped
view of it because of opposing in
fuences be-littling the real merits Of
the proposition. The saddest of it
all is that many assessors have re-
fused to carry blanks or even mention
state insurance to the farmers, thus
violating the law, which makes this
one of his official duties, as much as
asking how many horses a man has
subject to assessment, is his duty.
Allow me to point out why I think
a farmer should patronize state in
%surance; Because it is his own insti-
tuition and all the premiums are kept
within the state. It is the cheapest

GOLD BULLION
is NAME Of
NEW COMPANY

There was recorded yesterday the
location of eight claims in the name of
the Gold Bullion Mines company by
Charles P. Blanton and Fred Fletcher.
The claims are situated about eight
miles north of Oatman and a few
miles south of Thumb Butte.
The company is now in process of
formation and will soon be in shape to
do business. 1t has excellent showings
of ore in several veins, some of the ore
running high in free gold values.
Specimens exhibited by Mr.. Blanton
are very rich. The veins are large and
well defined and traceable for a long
distance on the surface.
Considerable development has shown
the property TO be one of the most
inviting proposition in that part of
the county. Fred Fletcher, who has
been with the Tom Reed Gold Mines
company, for several years, is to be
superintendent of the company, while
Charles P. Blanton will be general
manager. Both men are capable and
honest and the shareholders may look
for a run for their money. The COM
pany will make Kingman its head

MISSIONARY WORKER
HELD ON SUSPICION
IN YOKOHAMA JAIL

TOXIC, Feb. 2.-The case of Ralph
Hoyt Thayer is attracting considera,
bic attention in Japan. He has been
imprisoned in the Yokohama Jail, daily
undergoing secret examination at the
hands of preliminary magistrate.
The judicial authorities refuse to
make any statement concerning the
affair except to say that he was ar
rested at Yokohoma three nights after
the explosion on the battleship cruiser
Tsukuba at that port and he was at
once taken into custody for entering a
fortified zone without authority.
Thayer was a teacher of English in
st. PauPs Episcopal mission. The
Episcopal mission has appointed a
committee to look after the interests
of Thayer. His friends express the
opinion that he was interested in the
education and conversion of Japanese
sailors and that he visited Yokohoma
merely to inquire whether any of his
acquaintance had been killed in the
explosion.
Naval officers have been quoted as
saying that Thayer was not arrested
in connection with the Tsukuba ex-
plosion, as alleged by japanese news
papers. Concerning the destruction of
the Tsukuba and later a mysterious
explosion in the chemical store house
at Yokohoma, which caused injury to
100 people and destroyed 20 houses,
officials express doubts that they were
due to accident.
The Tsukuba had recently been sup
piled with new explosives and the
ship itself was closely guarded day
and night. The cause OF, the Yoko-
homa explosion has not been fixed.
The investigating committee is trying
to determine whether the two explos-
ions were the result of plots by agents
of hostile countries.

PICTURE ORE IS
FOUND IN AZTEC

1t is reported from Oatman that the
Aztec mine of the Tom Reed Company
is producing ore that runs away up in
the pictures. Ore running as high as
$50 per pound is said to have been
taken from the mine, which should
prove good sweetening for the milling
rock now going to the mill.
Considerable high grade has always
been present in the Tom Reed rock
and it is to be hoped that it will con-
tinue so to the end of time.
