Government Officials Now Considering the Mat ter and Favor a
 New Plan.
CITIZENS TO ASSIST
Theroy Is That Publication of Details Would Enlist Support of the
 Public.

WASHINGTON, March P. To make the public generally vital element in the government spy trap is question being considered by officials, who advocate abandoning the present practice of suppresslng information from the press of activ- ities of enemy agents and substitute ing a policy of wide publicity.
 The theory in support of the new departure is that the publication Of all attempts to hamper war produc- tion will disclose clues of the iden- tity of those responsible, and lead to their apprehension. Secret service agents so far have been unable to locate many of those directly respon- sible for sabotage.
 It is believed that the loyal citi- zens in every community, with the publication of details, would soon be able to place the responsibility for attempts to hinder the prosecution of the war.

News of Interest Gathered Here and There in tue State
SOME INDIAN STATISTICS.

There are over 100000 Indians in the United States, the majority of them being located in the western states, although some hundreds are found in each of the following states: Maine, New York, Mississippi and Florida. Oklahoma has more Indians than any other one state, over 100,- 900, while Arizona ranks second with 42,OOO. In all there are PIT tribes and bands, the distinction between a tribe and band of Indians being often loosely drawn--a band is the smaller division.
 The Indians of Arizona are chiefly located on the various reservations, the tribes represented being the Nav ajo, Papago, Pima, Hopi, Havasupai, Maricopa, White Mountain Apache, Mojave-Apache, Wallapai and Yuma. The Navajo agency headquarters is located at Fort Defiance, some Nav ajo coming under the jurisdiction of Tuba, Leupp and Keams Canyon.

AS an indication of the enormous mine holdings of this county the coun- ty recorder reports having filed at least LOGO notices of intention of mine owners to hold their claims under the recent act of congress waiving assess ment work. These notices contain from one to fifteen claims. Besides the filed notices, hundreds of claims have had assessment work done on them by the owners and many hun dreds of claims are held under patent. The indications are that more than 10000 mining claims are being held in the county, which have had work of some kind done on them.--King- man Miner.

COULD "GO OVER THE
 TOP" WITH GREAT EASE

Many compliments have been ten dered recruits enlisted from Prescott, in army, navy, engineering, aviation, and other arms of the fighting ser vice, but now the climax is reached in this city being accorded the distinction of having in the artillery ranks the tallest man enlisted to date in the new national army.
 His name is Henry G. Fredericks, and he went from Notwalk, Cal, to Los Angeles to be examined and to serve his country, and crept into the service by the skin of his teeth. He stripped for physical examination, and his height of 75h inches nearly lost him job, owing to having a scant half of one inch to spare to be rejected. Mir. Fredericks is native of this city, of the age of 25 years, the son of Eric Fredericks, who will be remembered as formerly employed by the Bashford- Burmister Go. Press accounts of this exceptional incident in military requirements, dwell at considerable length in all luding to such an unusual physical qualification, to face Fredericks, and one newspaper says:
 "This young man of patriotic fer vor and splendid physique is the tall est man in the artillery service, and is attached to the California Coast unit. Further, he will go to the head of the column, and if there is any fighting to be done he will be the very first man to step out of the trenches and go over the top without any physical exertion. It's all in the army regulation. Incidentally, Mir. Fredericks stands higher, speaking literally, than any other man enlisted to date by Lieut.. J. G. Lynch, medical examining officer of the regular army and if this recruit had reached a height of 76 inches, back to civil life would he go. He had scant half inch to spare. e."-Prescott Journal Miner.

THE sUPERsITIOUs NAVAJO.

The Navajo Indians in the county jail are having long, sleepless vigil. It is superstition of the Navajoes that they must not stay in a house in which death has occurred. The sui eide of the two condemned men at the county jail has caused some anxiety among the Navajoes and they refuse to try to go to sleep. In ordinary life the Navajoes carry the sick out side to die, if they believe the end is near, and they do not care to estab- fish a dwelling place elsewhere. It sometimes happens that the Navvies carry some member of the family out side to die, but the patient recovers, and is then brought back into the hogan.
 Those in the county jail are a little handicapped in the matter of going elsewhere to reside.-Gallup Independ- ent.

FIND OLD SHIP MINE.

Sitton and Murphy were in King man recently from the Aquarius range, where they have made discov- cry of the old Shipp mine, which is said to have been lost many years ago. The ore brought in from the property is high in lead-silver val ues, and also carries copper. The vein is said to be quite large and has an outcrop for a long distance along the strike. The ore is massive gale na, stained with copper.-Kingman Miner.

FREAK BIRD.

Mrs. John Crume, of this city, is the proud owner of a freak quail, which was presented her by friend at Congress Junction, and is to be sent to a coast taxadermist for mounting. Its color is snowy white, with the ex- ception of the plume, which is jet black. The bird is admired for its beauty as well as it's rarity, being the first one known to have been cap tured of such an unusual type. It was killed near Congress Junction, on Christmas Day.-Prescott Journal Miner.
