the states production abilities by the

a matter of fact, they did not mean 1t

w. A. Heath's Address.
The only other speaker OF the fore
noon session at the Elks hall was
w. A. Heath, who told in an intelli-
gent manner of the relation OF the fed
eral reserve bank to the other banks
of the country. Mr.. Heath, who, by
reason of his association with the fed
eral reserve bank at Chicago. is well
qualified, gave some interesting facts
in relation to the big system.
The federal reserve bank system, he
said, was still IN somewhat of an en-
bryonic state, but that the system 1s
gradually being perfected, and that 1t
promises to be OF more benefit gen.
orally as the years pass by.
Mr.. Heath familiarized some OF
those who knew comparatively little
OF the federal reserve system with Its
inner workings, and gave a very In
teresting, Instructive talk withal.
Banquet at Church Hall.
Following the Chtcagoan's speech,
the delegates repaired to the Presby-
terrain church, where a hne banquet
was served by the ladies OF the church
Places had been provided for two hun
bred and twenty-five, but this number
proved insufficient, and some were re-
ouired to eat elsewhere. There were
approximately two hundred and thir-
ty-fye In attendance, one OF the larg-
est, II not the largest, crowds In the
groups convention history.
Humor In the Afternoon.
The humorists had their inning this
afternoon and the mOney-handiers
had the time of their lives. laughing
and merry-making in general. follow
ing the dinner. The "jitney-jugglers"
are an anpreciative lot when it comes
to something really funny, and with
such lights as Louie Lau and Alex
Miller doing the, entertaining there
was nothing to do but laugh. Every
one in this part OF the country knows
that Louie" is bad company for any
one with a cracked lip, and few have
ever gone to sleep while the editor OF
the Washington Democrat has been
decorating the rostrum with his pres
ence.
Mr.. Miller's speech was mainly In
a serious vein, but 1t was enjoyed as
much as II 1t were not, for the Wash
inetonian has way OF putting
goodly punch into his talks, and al
ways distributes a few sallies even

funny. The title Of, Mr.. Miller's

PASS THROUGH KINGMAN
ON WAY To blackberry
[From Tussday,s Daily MInerl

Barbee S. Hook and William Bailey,
jr., Of Los Angeles were in Kingman
yesterday on their way to the Copper
Giant mine, near blackberry, upon
which Mr.. Hook has an option of pur-
chase.
The Copper Giant was one Of the
Clark properties prior to passing into
the hands of Mr.. Hook and it is prob
able that it will now be worked under
high pressure for a long time to come.
Mr.. Hook is in position to put the
property on a producing basis without
the aid of outside capital, and it is
thought to be his intention to make a
producer Of it as soon as machinery
for milling purposes can be gotten on

FLORENCE FOSTER
LOSES ACTION IN
SUPERIOR COURT
[From Wedne.dar,s pnlIr Miner

hGQuGoudg OdAlg AAAueLl
In the Superior Court yesterday
Judge Ellis decided that Florence
Foster, plaintiff in a forcible entry
cause, had initiated no rights to GER
tain alleged mining ground in the
town of Chloride. The title of the
cause was Florence Foster versus
Thomas Graves and others. Charles
F. Lewis was counsel for the plaintiff
and Carl G. Krook for defense.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
the plaintiff was the owner of certain
mining land in the town of Chloride,
that she was entitled to the possession
thereof, and that Thomas Graves and
others had forcibly entered upon the
lands embraced in the mining claim
and deprived her of its benefit. The
defendants denied that there had ever
been a mining right initiated on the
ground and that the claim had been
taken up purely for speculative pur-
poses. The trial of the cause was
carried over several days, there being
large number of witnesses called
from Chloride, as well as testimony
given by mining men. The only evi-
dence given as to the values found
in the ground was by one witness who
testified that he had found nv assav
one ounce in silver in a stringer of
iron stained granite.
Judge Ellis held that there was no
evidence tending to show that the
ground contained mineral in place
nor had any discovery ever been made
within the confines of the claim.
Judgment was, therefore, ordered en-
tered in favor of the defendants.

WORK IN PROGRESS AT
THE CATHERINE PROPERTY

Col. Thomas McClelland came in
from Los Angeles yesterday morning
and departed for the Catherine mine,
on visit of inspection. It is the in
tention to crosscut from the new shaft
at a depth of about 100 feet to as
certain the whereabouts of the vein
at that point in connection with the
fault planes and to trace out the
faults, so that a crosscut from the 200
and 400 levels may be driven to the
vein with certainty. The faulting of
the big vein has not yet been traced
out and the present work has been
instituted to get line on it.

GOOD FIND MADE IN
ARIZONA VENTURE

S. w. LOckett, superintendent Of the
Arizona Venture Corporation, is in
Kingman from the property of the
company in the Deluge Wash section,
and reports that good vein Of ore
has been exposed in the south drift,
about SO feet from the shaft.
The drift is being extended to get
under a big outerop 400 feet to the
south, and from the way the vein is
now proving up it is probable that a
big body of ore will be disclosed. The
shaft is down 400 feet perpendicular.
The vein was cut at a distance Of
nearly so feet from the shaft.
The company is in good shape for
further prosecution of work. The
group owned, by the company is one
of the most inviting in the Cedar Val
ley field, and with further work ought
to develop one or two good producing
veins.

a few days work will be resumed. The
mine has been kept free from water
and the shaft, which is in the hang
ing wall of the vein at $40 feet, will
be continued down through the vein
Station cutting is about finished at
the Lucky Boy on the 400 foot level
and a crosscut will be sent out to a
junction of the Friday vein with q
cross-fssure. a distance Of 40 feet,
where it is reasonable to expect an
ore body will be found. From this
point a drift will be run on the cross
vein to the Lucky Boy vein
The Oatman North Star is placing
some treasury stock among its stock
holders and expects to resume lateral
work soon. The Record Lode, which
is on the rich Hardy vein that is
credited with the production of S4O0,-

vein and has a streak Of quartz from
the surface that pans gold. The
United Northern is down 440 feet and
will continue to 600 feet. Sinking
continues with one shift at the Oat-
man United. The Ivanhoe is sinking
a vertical shaft to cut the Nancy Lee
vein below a surface outcrOp which
yielded one shipment of good ore.
Drifting continues on the 300 level at

[Frum Thur.day,s palIy Minerl

Frank Brophy lost his life and Max
well Gordon became a murderer over
the trivial sum Of rs cents at oatman
yesterday afternoon. In these days Of
Efwar brides" and the entry Of the
millionaires into the Millionaire class
It seems inconceivable that one man
could become so enraged over six-bits
in real money as to shoot down a .fel-
low man. But that was what really
occurred and the Daily Miner CORE
spondent gives this version Of the at
fair:
Brophy and Gordon met yesterday
afternoon between the hours Of and
4 o'clock in the Biles restaurant in
Mazona, a suburb of oatman. Brophy
owed Gordon six-bits and Gordon
Ndunned" him for the money. BrOphy
stated that he did not have that
amount, but would pay in q day or
two. Gordon replied that Brophy's
eyes did not look good to him, and
Brophy rejoined that Gordon's eyes
were not hattering and that he would
'1zill him." at the same time pulling
a 45-calibre revolver and sticking it
against Gordon's breast. Instead Of
firing the gun he struck Gordon on
the head with the weapon and it flew
out of his hands into a pile Of dishes
near the kitchen.
Biles, the owner Of the restaurant,
secured the weapon and refused to
give it back to Brophy, although the
latter stated that he would not use the
gun. Gordon pulled 3S-calibre Smith
& Wesson gun from his pocket and
fired two shots, one taking effect be-
hind Brophy's ear, causing death two
hours later.
Brophy was a stranger in the camp,
having gone there about four days
ago. Nothing is known of him, al
though an address at Niagara Falls,
N. Y, was found in his notebook.
Some months ago Gordon was as
saulted by a man at Mazona with an
axe in quarrel over the possession
of lots, the Mazona townsite being in
dispute between the owners of the
mining property and the squatters.
Gordon was badly beaten up at the
time.
Coroner Zadock Sheffield last even
ing held an inquest on the remains Of
Brophy and the jury returned a YER
dict that Brophy had died from the
effects of a "gunshot wound in the
head, inflicted by a pistol in the hands
of Maxwell Gordon"
