 Arizona Needs Most
 "Why should Arizona have lions share of the waters of the Colorado river? Because it needs more of the waters than any other section of the basin, and because she can do more with it. Why, then, should Arizona trail along behind six other states and Mexico and see her rights go pif- fling away through a commission in which she has only one vote out of eight?
 q believe that the whole movement you are trailing with today is an in geniously concocted scheme to cut a slice of the Colorado river for Mexi- can lands. You won't get what you are entitled to if you submit to the decision of a commission. What right has Mexico to the waters of the Colorado? None. This country has the absolute moral, legal and inter- national right to the Colorado because the river rises in the United States. A combination of forces to take the water from the United States and use it in Mexico is, in all future and po- tential phases, treason to the United States just as much as if you had proposed to take water from already developed projects.
 "If the waters of the Colorado are not so used as to develop the up lands and are taken out only for the use of the lands towards the border there can, naturally enough, be no re- turn seepage. The wastage now is sufficient to irrigate 100000 acres ir

THE UNITED EASTERN
 SHAFT NO. 3 WILL
 BE SUNK TO 800 Fl.

The United Eastern No. 8 shaft has reached a depth of over 60 feet and Tuesday last contract was let to con- tinue it to the 800 level. No effort will be made to pick up the vein until the 800 is reached and then large amount of lateral work will be car ried on. The new shaft is being sunk in the ground to the west of the Red Cloud of the Tom Reed, and east of the United Western. In the event that the Eastern picks up the vein there it. is possible that something will be done on the Western, which failed to get into pay ore in its ex- plorations of its estate.
 On the Big Jim work is being car ried on with considerable speed and before many months that property is sure of sending out big tonnage of ore to the mill. It is understood that the ore will be brought to the mill over tram that will have a capacity of about 300 tons of ore daily.

DEMONSTRATES HIS . LOVE BY CARVING
 GIRLS JUCULAR VEIN

David Dominguez showed his love for Francesca Pasterno by attempting to sever her jugular vein, at the woman's home in Oatman last Satur- day night. Dominguez had been or dered to keep away from the home of Mrs. Pasterno because of his jealous actions, but on the evening of Satur- day last, as the woman was carrying firewood into her kitchen he slipped up and grasped her around the shoul- ders, making proposition that he be allowed to remain in her home. The woman shook him off and he attacked her with razor, cutting great gashes in her neck, the blood flying all over the place from the wounds. The lit- tie daughter of Mrs. Pasterno tried to assist her mother but was knocked across the room by the brute. As the woman fell to the floor Dominguez evidently thought he had killed her and fled the place. The officers were notified and the following day the man was picked up about four miles from Topock by Deputy Sheriff Shaw while making cross-country hike toward Powell. He offered no resistance and was taken to Topock, whence Sheriff Mahoney brought him to the county jail.
 When asked why he had cut the woman up the Mexican only shrugged his shoulders, but when the sheriff asked him whether he used a razor or knife, he said it was knife. Mrs Pasterno stated that the assault was made with razor.
 Mrs. Pasterno lost her husband dur, ing the influenza epidemic at Oatmar two years ago and since that time has been supporting herself and child by running a boarding house, the place being patronized by Mexicans. Among these patrons were Dominguez ane another fellow who were looking fol home. They quarreled and Domin guez was ordered to travel, as well a: was the other fellow.
 A preliminary examination before Judge Miller Wednesday morning re suited in Dominguez being bound ovel to the superior court. Mrs. Faster no. who was in court with her young daughter, showed the effects of the Mexican's attempt to cut her throat the wounds having been sewed uI and protected with bandages. She i' expected to recover rapidly from the assault.

SHOWING
 IN KATHERINE EX,

The shaft on the Katherine Exten.
 sion has reached a depth of 200 feet
 and is in good looking ground. J. S.
 Bagg, the we'll known mining engineer who was the original locator of the Katherine, was at the mine early this week and reports that the material coming from the shaft is looking fine. The shaft is to be carried down A feet further to gain the 200 level of the Katherine and then crosscutting and drifting will be carried on. Stringers of quartz are now coming in. the shaft, which indicates it's prox- imity to the big vein. c. N. Miller, who is at the head of the corporation developing the Katherine Extension, came in from the coast Monday and s looking after the affairs at the mine md the Katherine townsite. @

WORK STARTS ON
 KATHER|NE-MOHAWK

F. T. Torpey, accompanied by D. w. Ryan, arrived the early part of the week from San Francisco and have been looking over the property in the Katherine section, recently acquired by MT. Torpey. MT. Ryan is a we'll known Nevada mining man and has come here to look into mining condi- tions in the Union Pass section.
 MT. Torpey reports that he has started work sinking the development shaft on the Katherine Mohawk mine, at point where the ledge shows 75 feet wide in the outcrop, and where the quartz croppings are iden- tical with the surface showing on the famous Katherine mine. A compress sor and hoisting plant has been se- cured and will be installed at once. While this, is being done the shaft will be sunk by windlass and hand drills to depth of 50 feet. From all information obtained in this shaft it is probable that a good body of ore will be uncovered before the 100 foot level is reached.
 Katherine Mohawk is in the same Assure vein that enriches the Sheep trail and Roadside mines and lies di- rectly between the Katherine and those properties, This vein is consid- cred by mining men to be the feeder of the Katherine mine, and the shaft is about 2500 feet easterly from the Katherine.
 The Katherine Mohawk is in good hands and the management are in the district to make a mine if the mak- ings are there, and it looks to a dis interested party that none of the oth- CT developing properties in that sec tion have better vein to begin their explorations on.

SANDY PEOPLE HOLD A
 COMMUNITY MEETING

The people of the Lower Sandy enjoyed a community meet at the Gray school house Friday, June 10, the closing day of school. The teach CT, Miss Mary Toole, and trustee, Mrs. Horace Gray, believing that the school should be made a social as we'll as ed- ucational center of the com munity, kept open house all day and entertained altogether about fifty guests, the pupils, patrons and friends of the school. Ice cream and cake were served to those who called. Friday marked the end of another term for the Gray school, which, though still in its youth, ranks the best rural schools in Mo have County.

klNCMAN SILVER
 GOLD COMPANY
 WEARS ORE BODY

The Kingman Silver Gold company has been driving the deep adit drift on their Cedar property and the head ing is now within short distance Of the ola Ore shoot, which produced largely in the early day life of the camp. The shoot will be entered at depth of $50 feet below the apex and 560, feet from the portal. The drift is being carried along the hang ing wall in a northeIly direction. A further distance of 40 feet will bring the heading directly below the old shaft, and a raise will be carried to the surface for air and will connect with the workings carried out from the old shaft. Miners who are con. versant with conditions in Cedar are of the opinion that big producer will be brought in as soon as the old shoot ie entered, which will be within a very short time.
 Tie mine is we'll equipped and work is pushed with all possible speed. Frank Torpcy, president of tk" com pany, has been at the mine in confer. once with Supt. Hanmerbeck and to give assistance in the further develop ment of the property, The plan of opening up and blocking out tlc ere bodies is Onder discussion and local engineer has ben e:gaged to make a survey of the underground workings, showing the size of the vein, the rake of the ore shoot and all matters neces- sary for development purposes
 The property of the company has always been considered one of the most important in the Cedar country having produced ore so rich trat it stood the enormous cost of transpor tation to Wales for treatment. the ore being packed out to the Signal road, thence by vagcn to Aubrey land, ing, on the Colorado river, whence il was carried by steamer to Port Isabel on the Gulf of California, then tc San Francisco and around the Horn to England. This was costly meth, cd of getting returns from ore, but il returned big sums of money to the miners. Today the lower grades o5 ore allowed to remain in the stopes will make excellent mill rock, while below the level (80 feet) there should be found immense bodies of mill dirt
 This company is also the owner oi a property at Goldroad, formerly the Gold Road Bonanza, on which appli cations for lease have been made tc the company by important mining men of Manhattan, Nevada. With - the probability of the Goldroad mill resuming operations it is probable that the company will extract and mill the ore bodies opened on the $50 level of this mine.
 The persistency of this company in maintaining development during the lean years during the war has com mended the management to the peo- ple of this section and many of the business men have taken interests with them, knowing that the money Is being we'll spent in the development of good properties.

Arizona and the same amount in Cal ifornia. With the proper develop ment of the resources of the river, in few years there will be seepage enough to irrigate 100000 additional acres in Mexico.
 "Now, all that Arizona has to do to gain every right to the Colorado is to begin to use the waters, which use will immediately establish>its rights against all other states or countries And unless she does begin the use and thus establishes her right to them, she will lose for all time minimum of $1OO,O00,000 a year-surely a stake: worth fighting for"

FORMAL OPEN|NCOF BOYD'S GARDEN ON
 SATURDAY EVENING

Boyd's Garden wiR have its formal opening Saturday night, the Ameri- can Legion having cancelled a dance they were to have held for that night in order to give MT. Boyd a clean slate for the evening.
 The K. of P. Band will give con cert starting at 8 o'clock. Dancing will start in the open air pavilion at about nine. Plenty of seats will be proving for those who do not wish to dance but who wish to hear the. con, cert. During the evening MT. Boyd plans to present some novelty vaude- vile acts to add to the evenings en- tertainment. M
 Sunday evening will be the formal opening of the open air dining room. This dining room is sunk in the ground and thus affords an extra cool place to eat, and it will be conducted in a first class manner. The place has been finished in green and silver grav and will be decorated with palms. An orchestra will play during the dinner hours, from 5 to g. Added ser vice will be afforded the guests but the prices will not be inflated accord ;ngly, according to MT. Boyd. The dining room will be in charge of MT. Fridel, the we'll known kingman man.
 Dinner will be served in the dining room every evening while the upper floor. also out-of-doors, will be used for lunch and for breakfast.

KATHERINE SECTION
 LARGEST AND BEST Continued From Page D

precedes a mining excitement of pro- portions.
 The area of ore distribution, as par tially determined by the mining work to date, is about by miles in ex- tent. This tallies pretty we'll with the 5-by-6 mile area of the Cripple Creek district. Also, as at the Grip pie Creek, the milling grade ores of the Katherine district are not infre- qpently, "sweetened" by lenses of high grade ore. In the Katherine minev-a $4,O00,000 bonanza--a 12- foot face of ore on the 200-foot level is reported to carry high gold con- tent. On the 300-foot level there is a 6-foot Tense of ore that averages $295 ton. This is the sort of ore which made Cripple Creek the great est of all "leasing' camps.
 The camp of Katherine, as whole, has not as yet been sufficiently de- veloped to warrant the assertion that it will prove a source of revenue for the leasing miner, It can, however, in all truth be stated that the con ditions there are favorable for him. The Roadside mine has produced very high grade ore, as have also the Sheeptrail and the Frisco properties Free gold is being found at surface and near-surface levels in various sections of the camp, and was strongly influencing factor in the pur- chase of the Sunbeam property of late by w. J. Loring, president of the American Mining Congress.
 Gold in the free also figured prom inently in the purchase of the Adams group by N. I. Darcy and associates of Los Angeles, and the purchase o1 the Gold Chain group by D. w Shanks, and associates of San Fran cisco. It induced Charles N. Miller veteran Cripple Creep mine operator and broker, to buy the Katherine Ex tension group and other properties ir the new camp, and induced San Brethour, another old-time Cripple Creek miner, to locate the Brethoul group and other acreage situated il the vicinity of the Katherine mine.
 The forelopers in the Katherine dis trict began to stake out claims there about three months ago, crowding a first as closely as possible to thu Katherine mine, and later extending their locating operations to more re mote sections of the camp. At thi' time development work is under wa! at fifteen properties, with the chance strongly favorable for them to make good. Plants of machinery are in op eration at six of the properties ant others are being installed.
 There development work is thus eX pedited, the results at increasing depth are justifying the money ex pended for the plants. At the Kath erine Extension (Miller property), fol instance, the northeast continuation O. the bonanza Katherine vein is hold ing strong in the shaft at depth O: nearly 200 feet under mineralogica conditions which indicate the earl! discovery of pay ore in place. Equal! favorable conditions feature develop ment work at the Gold Chain ant Sunbeam properties.

WATERS
 OF COLORADO RIVER
 BYC0NN|SS|ON ERROR

The Miner has opposed the distri- button of the waters of the Colorado river through a commission made up of the various states through which the river either passes or furnishes potential waters, because it will in time only add to the burdens of the upkeep of the canals, dams and other necessary equipment for the diversion and control of the waters of that mighty stream. We opposed the ap- pointment of the representatives of the various states because we believed that it would lead to long drawn-out discussion of the various state rights and we of Arizona would be the loser. And along this line we were pleased to note that George H. Maxwell, who has been with the development of ir- rigation in the southwest the past 25 years, is advocating the turning down of the commission of states because he believes that it would get us mo- where and possibly hold up direct ac- tion in the building of the great dams that are to make the waters of the Colorado river available for irriga- tion. MT. Maxwell, in talk to the Kiwanis club, at Phoenix, Tuesday last, said:
 q am to- lay before you what l consider to be the most important problem that has ever come before the people of Arizona. The Mondell bill, apportioning the waters of the Colorado river, has recently passed the house of representatives, as we are informed in press dispatches of this week. This bill, having to do with the most important piece of rec lamation and development work in the history of the United States, or per. haps of the world, is on it's way to becoming a definite piece of legisla- tion while practically every citizen of Arizona is absolutely ignorant of its contents.
 Arizona Faces Crisis
 'The importance of this piece of legislation cannot be measured. If the rights of Arizona are taken up by the people of this state and made realities it Will mean the development of more than 100000 acres of land which will be equal in every respect to the lands of Redlands, Ontario and the other mesa sections of California. Arizona is facing, in the crisis now before her, two alternatives. She can develop the lowland districts / alone, which will mean the reclamation of less than 5O0,O00 acres of land, or she can nut the water on the mesas first | and develop there 100000 acres in addition to what can be reclaimed in the lowlands.
 "In any event, you must reclaim enough land to pay for an extensive system of diversion and distribution works, which means that you must take the water from the river at least at the 1OOO-foot contour by the con struction of a high dam. Now, the proposal seems a big one, but we did bigger things during the war. We are spending $5,OOO,OO0,0O0 a year to run our government, and we can cer- tainly spend a small part of this sum to reclaim millions of acres of land from the desert.
 "The value of the power which will be developed will alone justify the construction of such a dam and the building of canal system for 1,OOo,- 900 acres. An estimate of the produc- tive worth of this reclaimed acreage may conservatively place it at $1OO an
