PR0SPECTOR MURDERED SUPPOSEDLY BY INDIAN

Two prospectors, named Hancock and Taylor were murdered and their mutilated bodies left in canyon
 south of St. Thomas, Nevada, about
 the 18th of January. The discovery ot the bodies of the missing men was made the 29th of January.
 r It appears that Hancock, Tavlor
 and two other men, went into the broken range of mountains bordering
 the Colorado river, about sixteen
 miles south of St. Thomas, on a prospecting trip early in January. After making camp one of the men returned to St. Thomas for feed for the animals land other supplies.
 Shortly after the teamster left camp Hancock and Taylor concluded to take a look over the country a mile or so from camp. They failed to return that night and the following day the teamster returned and search was in stituted for them without result. The two men then went to St. Thomas
 and reported the disappearance of Taylor and Hancock and a search party went out. After several days hunting through almost impossible
 canyons and mountains the bodies
 were found horribly mutilated and partly eaten by wild animals.
 About two weeks ago Mrs. Maude Douglas was murdered in her home Tn Eldorado Canyon and the impress
 sion prevails that the same party who killed the prospectors also kill ed her. Mrs. Douglas was sleeping on one end of tent and her husband and children were in an adjoining tent. During the night she ap- parently heard noise in the tent and arose to see what it was. The intruder fired at her with a shot, gun, killing her instantly. Her husband, who also heard the noise, saw the flash of the gun and heard his wife scream. He heard the in- truder, decamping and ran outside, but could see no one. The trail of the murderer was taken up and followed to cave in the mountains some miles away, where an empty twelve guage cartridge was found, together with Indian baskets and fire stick.
 The person, whoever it might have been, evidently was securing food from the Douglas home and was SO desperate that he was willing to commit murder to get it. The people 1 living in that section believe that the murderer is Queho, who murdered | number of people some years ago and 1 was never captured. An old fellow named Gilbert, who was watchman at the Goldbug mill, was one of the victims of Queho. Another man was killed in his cabin over near Charles ton mountain. Ike Alcock, who trailed Queho over miles of country at the time of these murders, is now on the trail in the belief that this is some of his work. In our opinion it is some other person that committed the murders. We have known, of many Flutes running amuck and have never known them to commit
 murder after their first insane lust for blood had been satisfied. If it is Queho who committed these foul deeds he has not run true to Piute form,

WORK OF AMERICAN RED CROSS

Thousand of convalescent Ameri- can soldiers have found health and content, after participation in the war, on hospital farms operated by the American Red Cross at twenty French hospital bases. The latest report of the farm and garden sec tion shows that they raised produce valued at more than 100000 francs.
 Reports from chapters in all parts of the Pacific division, American Red Cross show that great numbers of people are availing themselves of the extended opportunity to subscribe to the Red Cross magazine. Twenty thousand additional residents of Cali fornia, Nevada and Arizona have been accorded the privilege of sub scribing to this interesting and valu- able peridocal. Those holding regu- lar dollar membership may become magazine members by the payment of an additional dollar. Anyone not at present enrolled in the Red Cross may acquire membership and a years subscription to the magazine at one time by the payment of $2.

 Regarding the present actual state of the peoples of the Near East, Dr. Dutton said: Starvation has become so common in these lands that one of our workers sent the following re- port: Heroic men and women who have strained every energy to save lives, now have the unthinkable task of picking out those who shall perish This is the human pressure back of the slogan, They shall not perish, being used in the campaign for $45,- 000,000," he adds.
 Americas money is going out of her pockets faster than ever in her history, because it is Americas part in this frightful cataclysm. It is to these people we owe in part the debt of our untouched homes, our unviolat- ed. families, and our almost normally conducted industries. For those things are $45, 100000 an adequate return? When the American people come to realize the situation in the Near East as it actually is, I think not.
 "As the president is trying to lead the nation to just peace, so he de- sires that America shall lead the world in this supreme effort to save and rehabilitate the Christian peoples who, because they have clung to their faith, have been compelled to pass through the surpassing travail of the war;"

CEDAR CRANNIS MINING COMPANY PLAN TO BEGIN
 EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS

An aggressive campaign for the starting of immediate development work on the Copper Grannis" group of claims has been outlined by R. C.. Jacobson, mining engineer, who re- gently made a thorough report on
 This group, consisting of, eight claims, or approximately 160 acres of ground, is locted in the heart of the famous molybdenum, silver and copper belt of Mohave County, Ari- zona, and is surrounded by such well known mines as the "Leviathan," American Molybdenum," "Taylor,"' Princess" Arizona Molybdenum," Arizona Venture" Diamond Joe," and others and is considered by prac- tical mining men and engineers who have inspected it as having all the ear marks of making one of the big mines Of the district.
 This group was discovered and To- cated at the time of the Diamond JoeI excitement, some twenty years ago, by Frenchman, Eugene Desty, by name, who shipped considerable high grade silver and copper ore from the surface workings. Accord ing to statements of old timers, some of this ore ran as high as 800 ounces in silver.
 Owing to the drop in silver, and the death of the original locator, the property finally fell inta the hands of Wm. D. Grannis in 1908, who pro- ceeded to develop the property in a practical way, and accomplished some 300 feet of work in open cuts and shafts, with main view of open- ing up the ore bodies with depth.
 Samples taken at various times and places have shown values from ,$14 to $160 in gold, silver, copper and molybdenum.
 MT. Grannis being unable (with limited means) to accomplish the necessary sinking required in this district to reach the. sulphide zone of enrichment, finally bonded the property to. others for the sum of $5O,O00. This bond has been liqui- dated and cancelled, and the proper ty completely freed from all debt, and machinery purchased and the mine taken over by the Cedar Gran his Mining Company. The company is composed of prominent and sue cessful business men of Hollywood and Los Angeles, who plan exten- sive development work and the in-' stallation of a complete milling plant, which is now on the ground.
 The great net work of veins on this ground give positive promise of a great mine with proper develop ment. It is an established fact that with depth and the water level reach ed the greatest values and bodies of molybdenum, copper and silver ores are encountered in the district.
 The "Leviathan" mine nearby is probably the greaest molybdenum mine in the world, estimated at the present stage of development to have over $4,000,000 worth of ore now blocked out.
 The Cedar Grannis" group is iden- tical in formation and character of ore occurance and gives promise of developing into one of the big mines of the Mohave county.
 The Copper Grannis Company will be amply financed and is starting right and we wish them success.

PAYMENT OF $l5,0O0
 IS MADE ON THE RICO

A payment of $15,000 was made to the Clack Bros. last Tuesday by the Rico Con. Mines Company, being the first payment on the purchase price of the property. The company is now in shape to begin the big de- velopment on the property, long contemplated. A big compressor and gas engine was purchased this week from G. R. Franklin of the Arizona Engineering Company, besides ma chine drills, pumps and all necessary machinery. Some of this equipment is now going out to the property and the work of sinking below the pres ent level will soon be under way. The company is also getting things in shape to soon begin the erection of milling plant at the property, the necessary water being obtained in the further development of the mines.
 MT. Bleasdale, of Cleveland, and M. c. Cleveland, of Buffalo, are finan- cling the property and now have it in excellent shape.

ERNEST L. GODBE
 DIED IN CALIFORNIA

Ernest L. Godbe, known to all old time miners of the Pacific Coast, died at Bath Lake, California, January 16. He had been i'll a long time and his death was not unexpected.
 Ernest l.. Godbe was son of Will liam s. Godbe, of Salt Lake City, Utah, and had been one of the most active men in tho mining history of that state. He was one of the large owners in the Prince Consolidated mines at Pioche, and had made . fortune from his mining investments. He was specialist in chemistry and mining engineering. With his broth CTS, A. H. and Murray c. Godbe, he has made of the old Prince mine one of the big dividend paying proper ties of Nevada. But this mine was not the basis of his fortune. He made money in every venture and was big property owner in Salt Lake and other places at the time of his death. The mining world and his thousands of friends will sincerely regret his taking off.

35,0OO MEN WALK OUT
 IN STRIKE AT SEATTLE

 kitchens were to open at 2 D. m, Patrons of the kitchens were to be lined up and served in military mess fashion.
 No disorder has resulted from the strike. Mayor Ole Hanson declared he did not expect trouble or disor- der, but said the city government was ready if trouble came. Ten thousand extra police will be deputized if necessary, the mayor asserted.
 Schools were closed by the strike of the janitors and engineers at the heating plants. Many apartment houses and hotels, it was expected, would be affected by the strike of the heating plant engineers. Barber shops closed and elevators stopped running. Banks remained open.
 Only emergency telegraph business was being handled out of Seattle by the telegraph companies. The tele- phone system continued it's service.
 Along the Seattle waterfront union men answered the strike call quietly. Longshoremen left their work and truck drivers started for their barns when the scheduled strike time, 10 a. m., arrived.
 The city today continued to wonder whether or not it would have lights tonight. Mayor Hanson declared the city light plant would operate. The strike committee announced to- day that the union employees at the city plant would not be exempted from the strike. Last night it was announced that they were ex- empted.
 Most of the city stores announced they would remain open as long as their stocks last. When their shelves are empty they will be unable to replenish them, as the truck driv- CTS were among the strikers.
 "Any man who attempts to take over control of municipal government functions here will be shot on sight," Mayor Ole Hanson declared today when told of Senator Thomas state ment.
 Senator Thomas in Washington, de- clared that the Seattle strike is Gan experiment in Bolshevism" and that the strikers are undertaking gov ernmetal functions.
 Strikers have not taken over
 government functions in Se-
 attle," the mayor said. 'They
 will not be allowed to take over el
 any government functions de-
 spite their published statements
 that they intend to operate the
 light plant and help police the
 city. The seat of city govern
 ment is still at the City Hall"
 The general walkout was called by the Seattle Central Labor Council as sympathetic move to help ship yard workers, who, numbering about 25, ,OO0, closed the big Seattle ship yards by striking January 21 for higher pay.
 The shipyard workers who are af- filiated with the Metal Trades Coun- cil asked that mechanics be paid $8 a day and helpers and laborers $7 and S6 a day. The Metal Trades members made their demands when they announced they were dissatis- fled with the findings of a federal wage adjustment commission known as the Macy Board. |
 All the newspapers announced they would not appear after the strike hour. The papers were crip- pied by the walkout of the stereo- typers, newsboys and truck drivers who haul the papers to points about the city. The Times announced 1t would not resume publication until ! every union man has returned to his post.

EXCELLENT TIP FOR
BASEBALL MAGNATES
Better Results Obtained by Ex-
hibiting More interest.
when Ray Chapman of Cleveland In
dams Was in a Rut He Went to
owner Dunn and Was Helped
Greatly by Advice Given.

Baseball magnates might, on many
occasions, obtain the greatest results
from their players by exhibiting bit
OF personal interest in the men. A
striking example of the manner In
which this system works out is the
case Of Magnate Dunn of the Cleve-
land team and Ray Chapman, the peer
less shortstop.
In 1916 Chapman, was deeply IN the
dumps. His batting average shrunk
way down, and bis work in the held
was at times quite rusty. He seemed
To be working hard in every game, but
he could not get results to satisfy hlm-
self. The jinx was on his trail, too'
and during the season he suffered sew
erai injuries. Rumors were around
that "Chappe" was to be sold or
traded.
Being a sensitive lad, he went to
Nagnate Dunn and explained that he
was in q rut. Dunn did not bawl MIN
nut. or threaten him in any way. lie
took the .youngster to one SIDE ana
talked to him like a father. Among
pther things he told Chapman he could
rest assured he was a fixture on the
cleveland club, and that he had all
kinds of confidence in him. He ad-
vised Chapman to keep on working the
best he could, and the jinx would get
discouraged and leave. Chapman left

SINGLE TURNED INTO HOMER
Funniest Play in Experience of John
McGraw of the Giants Hap
pened at oIean, NJ. Y.

John McGraw, manager of the
Giants, says the funniest play of his
experience happened when he was the
kid third baseman of the old Olean
IN. W team, the club with which he
started his professional career.
The play was the climax of an ex-
citing thinning Fourth of July game
between the Olean team and its most
hated rival, Bradford, Pa. With the
score standing tied at 3 to in the
fourteenth with two out. Arthur Egan,
the pony pitcher of the Clean team,
dropped a single into left field. Owing
to the holiday, a crowd surrounded the
field.
AS the Bradford left fielder was
about to pick up the ball, playful
spaniel left his master in the crowd
and, picking the ball up, ran with it,
the left fielder in pursuit. He caught
up with the dog and tried to pull the
ball out of his mouth, but the dog
held.
While they were having their little
tug-of- war in the outfield, Egan was
dog trotting around the bases and
scored a home run, winning the game
for Olean, to 8.

THE TROUSSEAU IN CHINA
How 1t Figures When Plans Are Made
for Marriage of Daughter of
Family.

When I was ten years old my Serv-
ing woman made mark here in the
middle of my forehead. 1t was. made
with red face paint and had to be re-
newed every time | went outside the
compound. That sign meant that
was old enough to become engaged,
and that nv parents would consider
offers for me. Soon after, an old
woman came to see me. She made my
serving woman remove all my cloth
ing Then she looked me over. She
made me thread a needle-to test my
ewes. She made me sew Seam-tO
trv nv skill. She looked at my teeth,
and pinched my body all over--to see
if I was healthy. Then she went away.
One day, when | was twelve, L heard
nv mother talking about me-with the
old woman who had been to see me
before They were talking about my
clothing. The middle woman said l
should have four pairs OF silk trous-
ers and three of cotton. | was also
TO have six white undergarments or
cotton. and four linen for the hot
weather. NV outer garments were all
to be of silk, and all must have
embroidery about them. Two heavy
garments were to be lined with SILK,
and padded with new cotton. These
were TO wear in the cold weather. They
talked half day about my trunks.
The middle woman held out that l
should have four all covered with pig
skin. but my mother was determined
I should have only two. At last 1t
was agreed that / should have three
pig-slxin trunks and two boxes COW
cred with plain cloth. When they
came to an agreement about anything
q teacher wrote it down, so there
would be no forgetting after. lie
would read il over to them often and
had TO change the writing when one
or the others said they did not so under
stand. The middle woman grew very
angry when they were talking about
the bedding / should have, and left
the court. A servant called her and
she returned. All the while they were
talking about ME I felt most impor-
tant. for 1 had never before had a
value placed on me. Then l thought
I had not understood my mother all
nv life. She had always treated me
with unconcern, because l was not
boy, and now she was pointing out all
my good qualities and setting a value
on each of them. Then they told me
/ was to be married. / was to marry
a man I had never seen and they would
not even tell me his name. / asked
my mother if he might come to our
court and play with me. She scolded
me. He lived eight miles away, and

see me. Silly child.-Asia Magazine.
