JACK WILSON ILL,
 TAKEN ID COAST

J. c. Wilson, deputy mine inspector of the state of Arizona, was taken CUite ill while driving in from the cen tra! part of the stata Tuesday after noon, and his condition became so alarming that he was taken to Los Angeles yesterday evening. Some time ago Mir. Wilson was operated on for gaul stones and apparently recov- cred fully. It is thought that a hard trip in an automobile aggravated the ailment, bringing on hemorrhage of the bladder, and it is possible that an operation may be necessary to stop this hemorrhage. He has been sui fering severely and fears for his re- covery are entertained. His many friends (and Jack has a host of them all ever the state) hope for his speedy recovery.

CHIEF QUASULA ID
 HAPPY HUNTING GROUND

Quasula, who claimed the chieftain- snip of the Wallapai tribe of Indians, died at his camp in the south part Of town Thursday night. He had been ailing a iong time and his death was expected by all the members of the tribe. Quasula belonged to the old Se- Quania band of Wallapais, but after the death of that chief many of the tribesmen took up their residences near Blackberry and Peach Springs.
 At one time there were three chiefs in the tribe, Leve-Leve, peace chief; Sherun, head chief, and Sequania, war chief. While the latter was the titula~ war chief, Sherum was the only one of the three that believed in war. SeouaDia was as peace loving as was Leve. Leve and tried to keep his war riors cut of all fights. It was his band that gave up most of the scouts used by Gen. Crook in his wars against the Apache.
 After the death of Sherum Quasula elected himself chief, but the tribe re- fused to recognize any authority of his, especially as the young members of the tribe are gradually drifting away from the tribal relation. The cid fellow was buried yesterday afternocn.

Well, people" says Doc the Duck, everybody everywhere over the U. $. are putting in their best icks from now until the 28th of this month to obtain pledges to the total of money to be raised from the sale of War Stamps.
 Everybody is doing it," says Doc, land if there's anybody that isn't do- ing anything toward this line of sav- ing, l have failed to find him yet.
 Its great work" says the Duckling, "this lending your money to your old Uncle Sam and letting him pay you a good big interest. It's doing piles to- ward educating people into conserva- tion and thrift and the saving made during tkis war will more than likely be the basis for more than one life time of saving.
 Here's luck to the cause" says Doc, "may they get more than they need" 1"

BERKELEY HOLSTER
 IN OPERATION

T. J. Sparks, who has an option on the cid Berkley mines, in the Cedar valley mining district, was in King man from the property Thursday last. Since he and associates took over the Berkely they have rebuilt the road over the mountain, hauled in hoist ing plant and installed it on the prop erty. A new gallows frame has been erected and collar set put in. The work was rushed to completion and was one of the best and quickest pieces of construction work the district has seen in many years. It is now pro posed to clear the mine of water and open up the old vein, from which Q large amount of rich silver ore was taken many years ago. This property was at one time owned by the late Ti- bucio Padilla, one of the best chlo- riders in the county. Mir. Padilla op- erated this mine until water drove him
 out, when it was relinquished to J. J. Jerome of Yucca, who has held it, in conjunction with associates, ever since.
 It is expected that the new work on the mine will surely bring to light q fine body of milling and shipping ore.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING

The ranch house of Supervisor w. B. Stephens, on the Big Sandy, was struck by lightning last Monday, but little damage other than the tearing off of a few pieces of siding was done. Wall paper on the inside of the house was charred by the flash. The low lying lands of the ranch was covered by three feet of water from the over flow of the Big Sandy creek during the week. Heavy rains in the noun tains brought down a flood of water that the river could not readily carry off. We have not learned the amount of damage done to growing crops.

SUCCESSFUL GRINDING
 AT THE ARGO MINE

Thomas McNeely has been operat- ing a small cyaniding plant at his mine, theArgo, near the summit of Sherum's Peak, and last week brought in about IS pounds of the precipi- tates which he had sampled at the of flee of the MOhave County Assaying and Engineering company. The auro- cyanides gave return of nearly one dollar per ounce, or about S250 for the Is pounds. MT. McNeely is now preparing for the installation of bet ter plant at the mine, the only draw back being lack of water. The mine has a good tonnage of ore, the surface rock being highly oxidized and no crushing being necessary to prepare it for the precipitating vats.
 The Argo mine is high up on the peaks of the Cerbat mountains, to the north of Mineral Park, and a consider able tonnage of heavy lead ore was shipped from it in the early days. The oxidized ores were put aside until some method could be devised to ex- tract the gold and silver. Now that this has been accomplished it is prob able that the owner will be able to de- velop water in sufficient quantity in the neighborhood to make the project of milling a success.

REGARDING CHAIN LETTERS

4 series of chain letters is being cir culated flor the purpose of founding a special hospital in France for the treatment of wounds in the face and jaw" The chain letter states that "for every S16,OOO raised by the American committee, the American Red Cross will give $2OOO in cash" Recipients of the letter are requested to write five mere letters and to send 25 cents to the French consul, Seattle, Washing ton. This chain letter was started by the French consul through a misun- derstanding on his part. The Ameri- can Red Cross states they have never agreed to give any money to this cause and they, as well as the French ambassador to this country, are an xious that the chain should be broken up.
 The treasury department has au- tlorized the following statement:
 "Chain letters, which in the past have been used to get funds for worthy purposes and for some unwor- thy ones, have been started by some enthusiastic workers for the sale of War Savings Stamps. The treasury department has officially disapproved their use, and the National War Saw ings committee wishes the public to understand that these letters were not instigated by the national committee" :"
 Very truly yours,
 w. s. CLIFFORD, Director.
