GEORGE GRAHAM RICE
 ARRESTED FUR FRAUD

George Graham Rice, who took over the old company operating the cop per mines at Mineral Park and organ ized the Arizona Copperfields compa- my with intention of developing the mines, has been arrested under fed eral warrant in New York City on a charge of using the mails to defraud. Rice is said to have operated broker age house in New York, his expenses being more than S2OO,OOO per month and his receipts mounting up into the millions. It was reported that men who did business through his house and who sent him cash with order fail ed to get their stock. A complaint was made by R. w. Hartman, of Mans field, Ohio, who charged that Rice had received S721 from him for stock, but failed and refused to deliver the goods.
 George Graham Rice is one of the greatest advertisers in the country, his matter being of the business type and with the right ring to it. Among the many thousands of men in the United States sending out mining and stock propaganda his was far in the lead as to superiority of superlatives and catchy phrases. Any mining sec tion could well pay Rice to put on q campaign of publicity, as his matter would be read throughout the invest ment world. He had a wonderful vo- cabulary and visualizing insight into big financial problems.
 He was released on S15,0OO bail This is the third or fourth time that Mir. Rice has been under the ban. He was a member of the Sheftels eompa- nv and with Nat Goodwin, when Good win was trying to boost the Greenwa- ter. Nevada, deal. The firm of Shef- tels went bad and Rice had to bear the brunt of tOeir bad dealings. Rice plead guilty to the charge against him to clear up the other fellows. possibly on some promise of relief or reward, but the other fellows got ouJ from under and Rice got a penitentiary sentence Afta,. h1s release he hasan ne7 ca reer in the brokerage business and H. nallv butted into the Sheftels outfit and mi them out of business. Shef- tels disappeared and was probably broke trying to maintain their stocks Rice. brokerage house covers one whole floor of a big New York busi- ness block.

ADJUDGED INSANE

Manuel Pereira, who was arrested last week on charge of making sedi- tious statements and beating up a clerk at Gold Road, was taken before Judge Paul c. Thorne and two physi- clans last Monday and declared in- sane. He was committed to the state asylum for the insane and Deputy Sheriff J. W. Harris departed the same evening to Phoenix with him. Pereira had an operation some time ago and was also suffering from an incurable disease, which undoubtedly undermin- ed his constitution and brought on brain alteration.

S|LENCING THE CROAKER
 BY TAX ROLL INCREASE

People who have been grooming over the decrease of mining and other acti- vities in Mohave county, will surely get a jar when they look over the tax roll of the county for the year and compare it with that of last year. A gain of fully S5,OOO,OOO in the roll will convince the most skeptical that Mo- have county is moving right along and doing well, we thank you. The fol- lowing is the istment of the larger items that go to make up the roll:
