"CASEY JONES
 IN CAMP MEADE

A letter received yesterday by Hu- bert Smith from "Casey" Jones, who is at Camp Meade, Maryland, conveys the information that all the boys of his division are well and enjoying the Mi ner. Casey says that the Philadelphia boys complain that all the westerners are "roughnecks," but that as this is to be a roughneck war they should not worry. Casey is slated for the posi- tion of sergeant, or something of the kind. His many friends in this neck of the woods wish him well in both the winning of stripes and the winning of the war.

GROUND
 GETS DRILL OUTFIT

The calex drilling plant has been in stalled on the ground of the Telluride Mining company at 0atman and with in a short time the company expects to get line on the ore body that is sup posed to exist in that ground. The vein of the Tom Reed may run into that property, or at least one of the many ore bearing stringers that are known to have gone out from that great vein to make big ore bodies in other ground. The shaft on the mine has shown the ore bearing possibili- ties and give a line in the mapping out of the drilling operations. The estate of the Telluride company is one of the most inviting propositions in the Oat- man section and the big drill may bring forth something that will bring that property to the fore with rush. But drilling the ground may also be very misleading, as a big ore body may be passed up by the drill, al- though being within a few inches of its bore.
 The Telluride is in good hands and every shareholder will surely get Q run for his money.

AFTER
 KNIGHT INTERESTS

J. William Knight, son of Jesse Knight, of Provo, Utah, passed through Kingman today on his way to Chloride, where he will look after the interest of his father in the Bullion Hill mines. The Knights took over the Bullion Hill some time ago, and it was the understanding that arrangements would be made with the Tennessee to drive a crosscut from the 900 level into the Bullion Hill vein. The fail ure of the Tennessee to go on with the contemplated work has worked a hard ship on the Knight interests, but it is expected that this will soon be strengthened out. The Tennessee has a big showing of ore and ought to be shipping to the shelter at the present time.

FRANK LACY
 ID. BE TRIED
 IN PRESCOTT

The trial of Frank Lacy will be held at Prescott on the 18th of this month, a change of venue having been granted by Judge Thorne. The wit nesses will be taken to Yavapai coun- ty next week and the trial will come up at the first jury session of the court.
 Lacy, it will be remembered, shot George Smith near Oatman about two months ago. He and Joe Sheffield went out early one morning to arrest a party of bootleggers who were com ing from Needles with a cargo of booze. The officers left their car about four miles below Oatman and went down the road to intercept the incoming car. Lacy stood in the road with a shotgun and motioned to the car to stop, but@it came on and he stepped one side. As the ear was go- ing away from him he fired and the charge took effect in Smith, who was driving. Smith died soon after. Lacy gave himself up and was bound over to the superior court on a charge of murder. The evidence at the inquest was damaging to the defendant.
 The Miner has been opposed to the theory of an officer having the right to stop and search automobiles. If this was carried out it would put a pre- mium on holdups, if for no other req son. But the main reason is that of ficers should take a milder way of stopping cars suspected of carrying contraband. The murdering of men for a misdemeanor offense has always been tabooed by the courts and always will. Officers held up car near Tue son some time ago and killed wom- an occupant. An officer killed a man near the line of Wyoming and Colo rado few days because he failed to stop when ordered by the officers. He was suspected of having contraband, but none was found in the car.
 The trial of Lacy will deficitely bring a ruling on the matter.

the big mass shows nodules of quartz shot full of gold. While most of the gold is very fine some excellent speci- mems of heavy gold was obtained from the broken ore going into the mill.
 We understand that diamond drill may be used to explore the vein from wall to wall as the drift progresses to ascertain it's ore content, something after the plan followed in the Com stock years ago. While this would be searching out of the ore body the Comstock had two objects in view, the locating of the ore bodies and to guard against breaking into a reservoir of hot water. Lateral work could be cheaply carried on in the exploitation of the ore bodies in this massive vein and it would be the height of wisdom to install small machine.
 A new shaft on the new vein is now one of the possibilities, as it would ob- viate the long haulage through the mine, and then from the Aztec shaft to the mill. The shipment of ore could be made direct from the collar of the new shaft and would effect big sav- ing. As work progresses it will be a necessity to have an opening to the surface anyway and the sooner it is done the better it will be for the prop erty. MT. Phelps, who has had the management of the Tom Reed the past year, is jubilant over the showing in the mine, and who would not be- and be human? He has the satisfaction of knowing that he has opened one of the greatest bodies of gold ore of any property in the state and which may develop into the bonanza mine of the world.
 Yesterday the Tom Reed shipped to the mint bar of bullion weighing 12O pounds and valued at approximately S36,00O. We understand that this was the result of the last two weeks clean up of the big mill.

VISIT THE BIG
 OATMAN MINES

Last Thursday Judge Oscar A Shea and the Miner editor autoed over to Oatman to take look at that big gold camp. While the heavy rains prevent ed them from going out over the camp they saw enough to convince them that Oatman is surely coming into its own Where men were found to be pessi- mistic on former visits the whole camp was up on the tiptoe of expec- tancy in optimism. Men who believed had their faith in the camp confirmed and those who were skeptical were keeping the brokers busy with stock orders. While business had not re- vived to the extent that it should, there was a more cheery appearance in every business house in the camp.
 S. S. Jones, who had been looking over the Argo with view to start ing something, and Superintendent Phelps, with the big bar of bullion, Joined Judge Shea's party on the re- turn trip to Kingman.

Without question the Tom Reed is proving itself day by day to be one of thd great gold mines of the coun- try. Every shift adds to its great ness, and Thursday evening the drifts had entered the pay zone 225 feet, with nary a sign of deterioration of the ore bodies. The breast in the west drift was not quite so rich as it had been, but the east drift was fast in- creasing its values. It was said that every round of holes in the east drift was expected to break into phenomi- nal ore, but on what this was based on the Miner reporter is unable to say. The breast of the east drift was in ore that ran close to S1OO Thursday, and the fact that the values have been gaining every day in that direction possibly lead to the optimism of the operators.
 Samples taken across a six-foot breast in the west drift, last Monday, are said to have run as high as $500. Of course this is possible, as faces of wonderful richness are coming in and going out daily. The average is what counts, and this is exceptionally high. So high is the average broken in the drifts that it is reported it's mixing with the general run of the low grade ore from the Aztec shaft carries the mill averages to above s27. The Tom Reed mill is capable of handling 260 tons daily, and as there can only be a few tons broken in the drifts it will be noted what wonderfully high av- craze the small tonnage must have to bring the average of the big tonnage up to this high plane.
 The drifts are being driven near the middle of the vein and the rich streak runs eratically through it. Some times it widens out to three feet and then slumps to eight or ten inches. But it is aside from this pay streak that
Mohave County miner., 1918-03-09

the average of the ore body is consid- cred in the opening of the big vein. More than 91 feet of the vein has ben found to be very high grade mill ore, and this will make bullion so fast that the shareholders will hardly know what to do with their dividends. Sam ples across this 31 feet are said to run close to S27, and with the bonanza ore it will go several dollars in excess of that amount.
 Possibly no other gold mine in the country has really opened such mas sive ore vein as that now being de- veloped in the Tom Reed. It may have been cut at its widest point, but the fact that it is continuing in both directions would lead to the belief that this great width of S7 feet may be maintained for many hundreds of feet. It will take a large amount of lateral work to thoroughly explore the ore body and ascertain it's dimensions. It is possible that the walls may not have been reached in the crosscut, as it is reported that values are showing in the end of the crosscut, and as the ore is a mixture of andesite it is with in the possibilities that values may run far into the country rock. But the Tom Reed is a mine without fur ther exploration outside of the present vein, and is really the wonder gold mine of the United States. It seems impossible that it could cut out above the greatest depth at which an ore vein may be profitably followed, and it is sure to have fully as great length as that opened on the 600 level of the United Eastern. In many char acteristics the new vein is like the United Eastern, especially in the rich pay streak, where quartz has appar- ently become the ore bearer instead of the calcite and andesite of the other part of the vein.

HALL-BONELLI JURY FINDS
 FUR DEFENDANT

The case of W. H Hall against Geo. A. Bonelli, before jury in the su- perior court, was completed early Mon- day evening. Within a few minutes the jury returned into court with a verdict for the defendant.
 Over year ago George A. Bonelli caused the arrest of ". H. Hall on a charge of larceny of certain pipe. At the hearing of the cause the justice of the peace found that the pipe be- longed to Bonelli, but discharged MT. Hall. Some time thereafter Hall in- stituted proceedings against Bonelli, alleging that his character had been damaged to the amount of S10,000 by his arrest. The cause was finally set for the last jury session of the court. Mir. Bonelh was represented by Ross H. Blakely and W. c. Herndon of Kingman, and Norris and Spalding of Prescott, Mir. Spalding appearing. Judge E. L. Lewis represented Mir. Hall. The cause took a number of days to get all the evidence before the jury, there being many witnesses on both sides.
 The case will be appealed to the su- preme court.

BUSY WEEK IN
 JUSTICE COURT

During the week quite a number of civil cases were tried and many crim- inal cases heard. The automobile cop was busy and a. dozen oJ more ma chimes were tagged. The usual fine of S1.00 was meted out for not obtaining a license, and if the machines are tag ged again a heavy penalty will be at- tached.
 Dan Hardness and Neil Culhane were fined on drunk charges, the first drawing IA days in jail and the other an alternative fine of S3O or 30 days. It appears that the wet weather gave some fellows a dry feeling and they indulged in the thirst quencher and were disporting like millionaires when an officer reduced them to the ranks.

The Santa Fe this week has force of men and train crew distributing steel rails of heavy weight along the railroad around Kingman. The rails will displace the lighter steel. It is expected that the track between King man and McConnico may be doubled and that it is possible that it will be continued to Berry, six miles east of town. The road has shown a congest- ed condition through this section and it will require additional trackage to prevent the tying up of many trains here nearly every day.

MINING MAN KILLED; FALLS
 INTO FLYWHEEL

Fred J. Perks, superintendent of the Walnut Creek Mining company, was instantly killed by falling into the fly wheel of the big compressor at the company's mines last Tuesday morn ing. The unfortunate man had been working around the machinery and had found a Knock" in one of the bearings, and it is thought that he had placed his ear close to the moving ma- chine when he was in some manner drawn into the wheel. His head was beaten to pulp and he was otherwise broken up. The heel of one of his shoes finally caught between the wheel and the cement floor, which stopped the engine. When the ma chinery stopped one of the workmen went into the engine house and found the mangled body of the superinten- dent. Word was at once sent to King man and Coroner Smith, an officer and Undertaken Van Marter went to the scene of the accident. A jury was empaneled and verdict found accord ing to the above facts.
 Perks had been superintendent of the mines the past year and was en- gagged in having contract completed on the lowel level of the property. The contractors expected to be through the following day, and other work would have been started. Mrs. Perks only ar rived from Chicago a few weeks ago, and she is prostrated over the awful death of her husband. Deceased was well liked by all who knew him and his death is deeply deplored.

 ID EVADE SERVICE
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, May 13.ACount James Minotto, son. law of Louis F. Swift, the packer, was taken into custody here today by deputy United States marshals two weeks after his arrest was ordered on a presidential warrant The count, who successfully defended himself two months ago against de- portatlon proceedings now is preparing 10 fight internment under the presi- dential warrant. He is at liberty under $50,O00 bonds.
 On April 50, the order of arrest was telegraphed from Washington to Los Angeles. But the count had left his winter quarters there. It was learned he was expected in Chicago May I. and Marshal John J. Bradley was mo- tified to arrest him under Regulation No. 12 of the presidents proclamation relating to German aliens.
 Stops With Father Swift
 Today the marshal learned that the count was at his father in laws Lake Forest estate and two deputies were sent there. They were told by a Japanese servant that the count had gone for a ride. The deputies retired to the lawn and several times stopped saddle horses to inquire if the rider was the count. After some time they returned to the house and insisted that he servant make sure the count was not in the house and one of the deuu- sies said he would accompany him Soon the count appeared in riding cos tune and explained that he was about 70 go for ride.
 The count was taken to the fedora building where his father-in law ana lcgal counsel met him. Petition for | writ of habeas corpus was immediately filed in his behalf and Judge Carpen- ter set the hearing for May 20.
