EPISODE REHEARSED BY
 MINING MEN

Lamar P. Kilgore, of Carson City. Nevada, yesterday told of quite a thrilling experience which he passed through a short time ago in making an examination of an old abandoned mine in the Harcuvar range east of Congress, when he encountered large number of rattlesnakes which had taken refuge for the winter in a worked-out stope. He gave this account of the frightful incident:
 Il was the first to descend the old shaft of about 80 feet in depth, ana following was Harry Bostwick, my associate in mining, who operates in Grass Valley, Cal We carried cleo tric flashlights and had been warned by an aged Mexican at Salome to be on the lookout for snakes, as they often frequented old mine workings to hibernate for the winter. Before we made a step on rung of the lad, der the light was flashed behind, to make sure that no snakes were around. By cautiously and slowly going down we finally reached the bottom and were about to enter a drift when the filthy vapor caused Us to move ahead at slow pace, believ- ing four air was prevailing. About 25 feet from the shaft was an old stope and 1t was there we had the big surprise It was a den of snakes and we evidently disturbed their long slumber. They started to milling" and the writhing mass caused us to get back to the shaft immediately, al- though there was no effort made by any of them to move toward us.
 Tt is difficult to form any impress sion as to their number, and the big ball probably contained from 75 to l50. There was heard only one faint rattle, but the hissing was loud and indicated the snakes anger at being molested. The interesting feature of this ghastly situation was how these snakes ever got into winter quarters at that point-S0 feet from the sur, face. The shaft has an incline of about 40 degrees, and 1t must have required slow and tedious labor for each snake to go below and reach the quarters selected.
 After we reported this matter to miners of that section, they were not surprised, but stated that all old mines, after being abandoned for few years, offer this refuge of safety for snakes, and the incident of ind ing them huddled together IS very common one. We will return to the mine later to carry out the examina- ton, but not until after the rattler gets out and goes over the top.

HERE'S A CHANGE FOR
 FARMERS TO RESERVE

PHOENIX, March 1.-The frs, week of March has been designated by a conference of the Federal Board of Farm Organizations as National Implement Inspection and Repair week." to the end that farmers at once ascertain and order what is necessary to put their equipment in condition for use It is estimated by the board that Sl5,OOO0O0 annually is expended by the farmers of this country in the proper care and main tenancc and in the replacement of worn and broken parts of farm i'm plements and machinery. This is a tremendous drain upon the manufac- tories of the country, and this year will be especially burdensome owing to shortage of labor and difficulty of transportation.
 The University of Arizona Agricul- tural Extension service joins with the Arizona Council of Defense in urging compliance with this recon, mendation, which is of more inme- diate importance to Arizona than to the East, owing to the relative earli- ness of the season here. It is sug> gested that farmers make an inspec- ton of their implements to deter mine the repairs necessary to put them into workable condition and to locate the worn parts that need re- placement Determination also should be made at once upon the replace, mcnt of worn-out machinery. Wooden surfaces should be painted and metal parts thoroughly greased, loose bear. ings adjusted and all nuts drawn tight When the work of harvesting begins, every piece of machinery should be in prime condition so tha, no time need be lost by repairs tha, could have been made beforehand. Labor will be scarce and especial re- liance must be placed upon machin- cry. So now every effort should be made to assure satisfactory service from any equipment on hand.

YOUTHS APPEAL HAS BEAUTIFUL
 SENTIMENT
LOCAL RED CROSS RE GENES FROM SELIGMAN BOY A FINE DONATION, ACCOMPANIED BY LET TER TO A SOLDIER.
(Fron, Wednesdays Daily.)

From Seligman yesterday there came a silent message to the head quarters in this city of the Yavapal Red Cross, which touched the hearts of many ladies and appealed tenderly to the ardor of others as patriotism rang out in clear and simple tones from a boy of only ten years of age, who sent in his bit to help the good cause. It was a muffler made by his own hands, showing care and skill, and his name was Thomas Pitts, son of Mir. and Mrs. J. A. Pitts. The fabric passed the rigid censor in the art of making, and attracted admira- ton from the adults as we'll. It was cleverly knitted, and attached was pinned note in simple and beautiful thought which created profound inn pression for its patriotic fervor, as follows:
 "I am far away in Seligman, Ari- zona, and will the soldier who wears this muffler please write to me? l made it and hope it will keep you warm. l am only boy, but l am with you men to the last.
 THOMAS PITTS,
 Boy Scout, Seligman, Ariz.''
 From Seligman also was received generous contribution from ladies of that chapter, consisting of six sweaters. six mufflers, nine comfort pillows, two trench helmets, one pair socks, twenty-four pair wristlets.
 Loyal Strangers Castle Hot Springs ladies, who are wintering at that resort. evoked ex- pressions of pleasure and admiration for their zeal when they sent to Prescott yesterday tribute of their patriotisnI in 400 bandages, all hand made, during leisure hours. This donation came through Mrs. J. R. Roosevelt, the wife of cousin oi : Col. Roosevelt, and was acknowl' edged immediately by Mrs. Morris Goldwater, chairman of the Yavapa Red Cross Division.
 Locally speaking, contributions continue to roll in, and Sl0 was giver Monday by lady who desires her name withheld.

BANK CLERK GETS $28,OOOTHROUGH
 CLEVER FORGERY
YOUNG MAN EMPLOYED BY PRESCOTT STATE BANK FORCES PAPERS AND OBTAINS HUGE SUM FROM N. Y. BANKS.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

John A. Frye, for several months in the employ of the Prescott State Bank as stenographer, left Prescott on the fifteenth instant, ostensibly on telegraphic information that his aunt who raised him was seriously hurt in an automobile accident, re- questing him to come to Seattle i'm mediately.
 On last Sunday morning it was dis covered that he had forged letters of introduction and credit combined to four New York banks, calling for ex, tension of large credits. and has also forged the name of l.. C. Derrick, cashier,. on-a number of blank drafts, surreptiously obtained, on the Anglo and Eondon-Paris National Bank of San Francisco, California. By means of these forged documents he was enabled to obtain about S28.0O0 from New York financial institutions, which have placed this matter in the hands of the New York police depart ment and the Burns International Detective Agency, which probably will result in the early arrest of this youthful thief and forger.
 While it is probable that some of the New York banks will suffer to some extent unless recovery is had, the local bank will sustain no finan- cial loss, owing to the fact that all the documents are forged.

PATTERSON HAS FIERCE
 FIGHT WITH LION
(From Fiday's Dafiy.l

Mute evidence of what Ramsey Patterson has again accomplished in killing mountain lions, for which he has attained fame as the champion in Arizona, was fully demonstrated yesterday when he brought the car cass in its entirety of another beast, to the city to be exhibited.
 This monster was killed a few days ago near Walnut Grove, after it had attacked and destroyed fine riding horse of J. Frank Condron, the animal being full grown and of great weight The lion as 1t lay on the sidewalk, showed huge size and measured from tip to tip over eight feet, its weight being 200 pounds. Its capture was attended with a fierce fight, in which two of the best bred hunting dogs of Mir. Patterson were lost, both being killed instantly as the lion sank its four-inch tushes into a vital part of their bodies. Two other dogs also were badly wounded from blows of its feet, while Mir Pat terson also had a very close call, his life being saved by one lucky shot from his rife.
 News of the final killing of this beast occasioned several local stock men to make up pool, and the hunter was given S80 as his reward.
 It is difficult to compute how many range cattle have been killed by this lion, but a reasonable estimate is fully Sl,O00, in addition to several valuable colts and horses. Patter- son also brought in four other lion pelts and 3 belts of coyotes and wildcats. He has made a cleanup this month of about S400, and is go- ing back to the above country in a few days. to continue his vocation.

RAILROADERS ASK THAT

A large number of the Santa Fe employees this week sent a petition ito General Manager w. A. Drake of Prescott, asking that the proposed removal of the trainmen's hospital facilities from this city to Los An geles be halted, and that the practice of removing the sick and injured employees to the Mercy hospital here be continued.
 About four years ago. a number of the Prescott and Phoenix en,, ployes started a move to effect the removal of the hospital service from Prescott to the general hospital of the coast lines in L. A For some reason the proposition hung fire, and when several months ago, the rall- road authorities announced in an in- direct manner that the removal would probably take place. number of the railroaders began to circulate petitions to block the change. Yes terday Mir. Drake received the peti- tions asking that Prescott be contin- ued as the hospital town, the peti- tions having been signed by men all the way from Ash Fork to Phoenix and points to the west of that city, The men seemingly are now of the belief that it would not be good pol icy to haul sick or injured man to Los Angeles, and that the medical or surgical treatment which he would receive should come from the local institution Mir Drake stated yes terday that in all probability the hos pital contract would remain in Pres. colt.
