There was a furry of excitement

what we shall see" Later ne pre-
pared a long newspaper advertise
ment containing this significant para
graph:
For such of the. injustice worked
upon me as is remediable in the
courts intend in due season to seek

A NEWS ITEM OF
 40 YEARS AGO

The Los Angeles Express, in the re- publication of matters of interest that happened in its territory 40 years ago, makes use of the following item:
 "Two companies of the 9th United States Infantry passed through this city today on their way back to their station at San Francisco. They had been down to the Colorado river to quell an outbreak among the Cheme- hueva Indians and to effect the cap ture of the murderers of O. P. Gallo way and mail rider named Loudon. They compelled the tribe to surren- CT the two raurderers and had the prisoners with them"
 At that time the writer lived at Beale Springs and company of cav airy passed through that place from Fort Whipple to the Chemehuevis Val ley to punish the Indians. When they arrived there the California company had secured the arrest of the murder CTS. It would appear that two men who had wandered from the river steamer had been captured and mur- dered by the Indians. One of the men had been a keeper of the station at Union Pass, but was thought to be insane.

DECLARES STRIKE

Ire declaring off of the strike in Butte, Montana, district, followed closely on the decision of the mine
 operators to refuse employment to anyone holding a red card. At the in quest of Thomas w. Manning, an I. w. w. guard, who was shot in the riots that followed the picketing of the mines, brought out a fervent declara- tion of the objects and principles of the I. w. w., which disclosed the fact that the greater number of the men were alien foreigners who did not even want to learn the English language. The question of wage was not an is sue, declared one of the I. w. w. lead CTS, and that if $10 or even $15 per day was granted the workers they would clamor for more. It was their plan to make labor so inefficient that all the mines per force would have to shut down. They cared nothing for the development of the mines; their object was just the putting out of com mission of the operators. They ap- peared to believe that if the opera tors failed to carry on the work the mines sooner or later would have to go to the workers and that the "one big union" would be the solution of all> the ills, the. workers getting the source of production away from the owners sooner or later.

Ruling Announced
 Affects Placer Claims

J. H. Favorite, chief of the field di- vision of the United States land of flee, Washington, D. C., on May |, handed down a decision as to the val idity of the so-called oil 3lacer claims that will be of interest to thousands of people throughout Arizona and New Mexico and will forever set at rest the question of validity. This ruling states: Performance of socalled an nual assessment work ll placer claims is not sufficient to make them valid as oil land locations. All locations under the placer mining laws, accord ing to this ruling, except those on withdrawn lands as covered in relief provisions of sections IS and 19 of the new leasing bill, are valueless. Pat ents cannot be secured for such To- cations, unless a discovery of oil had been made thereon prior to February 25, 1920, or unless on that date the claimants were in diligent prosecution of work leading to discovery and con- tinued such work with diligence to discovery on each claim.
 There are many holders of placer claims, which were initiated before February 25, 1920, that are in doubt as to the validity of their claim, and many others have paid for legal ad- wise which advice stated the claims were still valid even though no loca- tion or assessment work had been performed thereon.
 The ruling is clear, concise and to the point, and, coming direct from the interior department at Washington, should be sufficient and conclusive.

WILD PROMOTERS
 ] ARE INDICTED

A rather good story is told of the
 financial career of two promoters of
 Los Angeles faring forth from that city to Denver, whence they went into the shale belt of that state where they
 located 35,00O acres of these lands
 and immediately proceeded to place them on the market in 20-acre tracts. They organized holding companies to handle the acreage and these com panies are said to have sold in seven months $200,00O worth of the tracts. The government got on the trail of the promoters and they have been in dicted for the fraudulent use of the mails. The men did not go so far as to secure title to the lands in any way, although the same rule applies to the securing of oil placers as it would to lands to be drilled for the oleaginous fluid. It is said khe fel- lows were prompted to the act by reason of reading a magazine story of the enormous wealth contained in the oil shales of Colorado and other states. In telling the story the Los Angeles writer bemoans the fact that $50,000 of the $200,00O grabbed off by these promoters came from the Angel city. Had it come from elsewhere it would have mattered little, we suppose. Had these same promoters grabbed a bun dle of money from the sale of lands that were worthless from an agricul- tural or horticultural point of view the reader would not have been re- galed by story, but any person who comes into the field of mining and works fraud should surely be punish ed for 1t. This privilege is granted to and is the stock in trade of only the land promoters and no easy money should be allowed to get away. Min ing frauds are not so easy to put over as are land frauds, but either is equally reprehensible. We have too many important mining schemes, schemes that offer a fair or large re- turn on the investment to allow this class of fake promoters to get away, but where there is one such scheme put, over there are thousand fake land deals worked off on the dear pub lie. The public will remember the Raymond land schemes of twenty years ago, where town lots and vast areas of lands were sold in and around the Salton desert and millions of dol lars were secured by the promoters. The same is true of the sale of Flor ida swamp lands, and in fact from every section of the country these get rich-quick fellows have operated, and the sooner they are one and all coop ed up the better it will be for the easy going public.

WALNUT CREEK
 COMPANY USING
 DIAMOND DRILLS

The Walnut Creek Mining company has been using a diamond drill in searching out the ore body in that property. While some excellent show ings of ore have been drilled into the main ore body that is being sought after has not yet been disclosed. The. other day the bit was lost and it took some delicate fishing to bring it forth. While the loss of a bit is not serious it is somewhat expensive and vexa- tious.
 The property of the Walnut Creek Mining company is situated to the south of Kingman, on the west side of the Wallapai mountains, and about: nine miles easterly from Drake sta-. tion, on the Santa Fe. The mine is under the superintendency of Jack Zwinge, one of the we'll known mine operators of the country. MT. Zwinge has been opening the property the past two years and has accomplished a large amount of development. While this work has not opened the prop erty at a deep level it has disclosed a large amount of very good ore, some of it carrying it's copper values in the oxidized form, but the lower open ings getting some chalcopyrite. It is expected that with greater depth the property will show valuable mill ore,

ARCO IS DEVELOPING
 ON THE 600 LEVEL

The crosscut from the bottom of the 600 on the Argo is now in 60 feet and is going forward at the rate of Az feet daily. This crosscut is being driven in a northerly direction with the object of cuttig the Aztec vein. The Argo has practically the same line of veins that show in the United American and lies to the east of that property. The Argo reached depth of 600 feet several years ago, but lack of finances at that time caused a suspension of operations. It is now understood that the company is well financed and that a big line of devel- opment has been mapped out. This work contemplates the crosscutting of the veins in each direction from the shaft and willreach into the territory north and south. s. s. Jones has charge of the work ofdevelopment and as he knows that territory better than any other man in the district we look for immediate results.

Livestock and Ranges in Arizona and
 Western New Mexico.

The Weather Bureau in its weekly report of range and stock conditions states that recent showers, ranging from moderate to heavy over the major grazing sections, have been of great benefit to pastures and to the water supply. Characteristic of veg citation in the Southwest grass has come on rapidly since the showers of last Friday and marked improvements is reported from nearly all sections. Additional reports of large calf crop are being received, an estimate of eighty per cent coming from the Pinto section, Apache county The Indian Service reports that there has been practically no stock loss on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation this spring and owing to the excellent grazing conditions there had been no loss from loco weed. The calf and lamb crops in that section are fine.

ORE NOW BEING RUN THROUGH
 THE CYCLOP|C MILL

The Cyclopic mill is now in opera tion and capable of handling 150 tons daily. A crew of miners are operating the mine with the view of opening the ore bodies to such an extent that the mill will be kept in operation con- tinuously. Take the immense ore body as a whole it will deliver bet ter than $6 ore to the mill and at low cost. By stoping out the smaller streaks, averaging ten or twelve feet in width with an average of about SIP is obtained. It is possible that milling the whole big mass may be a better way of handling this great body of ore than by breaking down the richer material.
 The Cyclopic mine is under the management of Supt. Humphries, who is one of the best mill men in the country as we'll as Notation engineers. MT. Humphries and associates have been putting the mine and mill in shape the past several months and now believe they have one of the big gold propositions of the country.

UNITED AMERICAN
 STILL IN MILL ORE

Last Thursday the United Ameri- can had it's first call on the Los An geles stock exchange. The shares opened at 61 cents and moved up to 6112 and closed the day at 61 IA. Fifty cents had been bid for the shar- es for some time prior to the call, and it was not expected that better than that figure would obtain. Eight thousand shares changed hands on the first call, and much more would have been dealt in had the offering been greater.
 TheUnited American lateral work has reached close to 100 feet, west from the crosscut and is still in very good mill ore. There has been some breaks in the vein, but these have so far not initiated against the ore val ues. The drift toward the east is progressing, but so far it has not shown real values. It is possible that when the vein is again crosscut it may show another vein or lenze that car ries mill values, as there appears to be good quartz vein in that area.
 At Oatman the miners working in the property are jubilant over the big ore bodies that have been so far open ed and it is thought more than prob able much superior ore body will be cut at a deeper level. The drift has not yet reached the point where the ore body on the level above was en- countered and better things, are ex- pected when that part of the proper ty is penetrated.

CHLORIDE SAMOA
 MINES COMPANY

The old Chloride Gold Mines com pany has been reorganized and taken over by the Chloride Samoa Mines company, with a capitalization of 1,- 500,000 one dollar shares. The off cers of the company are L.Hoffman, president; A. B. Seelye, vice presi- dent; J. H. Hoffman, secretary and treasurer. The new company purpos- es the driving of a deep tunnel to get far below the old works in the Samoa and other mines of their big group, as we'll as being able to develop neigh boring mines. The old works stand at a depth of 330~ feet, but the new operations would carry development many hundreds of feet below that point.
 The Samoa and Fourth of March group is high on the mountain above Chloride and is contiguous to the Lucky Boy. Was this tunnel driven into the Samoa vein the Lucky Boy and Brighter Days property could be operated through it at low expense. In the event that this property is well financed it is possible to drive
 the deep tunnel into the mountain from point close to the Payroll, which would obtain a depth at the Samoa of nearly 2000 feet.
 The property was a good producer until few years ago, water and oth- CT difficulties arising to prevent eco- homie operation.

WILL OPERATE
 WALLAPAI MINE

F. A. Wyman, a Montana mining man, recently paid visit to his sis ter, Mrs. William Hunt, at Oatman. Mir. Wyman has gone to Montana, where he will close up his business with the view of making his home in this county. He looked over the linus andHunt property in the Wallapais while here and was so we'll pleased with it that he intends to take it over and begin operations as soon as pos sible. The mines are situated north west of the Hibernia and have streak of immensely high grade gold-silver ore. This find was made last winter and the owners have done considerable development work on them.

k|NCMAN SILVER
 GOLD IS SINKING

Supt. Rogers reports that sinking below the 13O level of the Kingman Silver Gold Mines is now under way. On the 13O level the crosscut was driven thru the vein and three feet of good ore was opened. This ore was drifted on 15O feet and nice body of mill ore opened. The new work will undoubtedly bring to light enough ore to predicate the building of a milling plant to handle the ores, al though a water system will have to be put in from springs in the Cerbat range, or the sinking of the shaft to the water level. The mines are situ- ated in what is known as Hardy Butte, about 16 miles north of Kingman.

TUNNEL BEING DRIVEN
 ON THE SILVER JACK

The Old Hibernia mine is now being developed through deep tunnel, con tracts having been let to carry oper- ations in more than 100 feet from the present heading. Some fairly good ore is being found in the broken vein and when the large vein that shows solid quartz farther up the mountain is encountered it is to be expected that big ore bodies will be opened The old ore body was one of the richest in point of tonnage value of any mine in the Wallapai, and systematic devel- opment is sure to bring more of it into view.

DARDANELLES IS
 SHOWING UP BIG

S. Ford Eaton, who went to the coast ten days ago to order machinery for the Dardanelles mine, at Chloride, passed through here a few days ago on his return to the property. Mr. Eaton expects to install the new ma chinery and sink the shaft to another level The property is said to be one of the most promising in the Chloride section, an immense body of shipping and mill ore having been opened on the 100 level. The property is well situated for economic mining and is in excellent hands.
