5l PER CENT COPPER
 OPENED IN KAY CLAIMS

MT. and Mrs. John Kay and son Lyon were over from Mineral Park a few days ago attending to business in connection with their mining in
 terests in that place. While here they had assays run from their mines' one result giving better than 5l per cent copper and some gold and sill yer. This sample was taken across the full width of the 4x6 shaft and at a depth near the water level. This is one of the Kay claims that nave been opened by three shafts to depth below water, one of the shafts being equipped with pumping plant, but SO far no other equipment has been put on the property. The mine is in the big copper belt that traverses the porphyry uplift in the lower part Of Mineral Park basin, and the impress sion of many of the copper fellows that some day real copper producer will be opened to steam shovel meth ods. The naturalization is in the form of native and chalcocite, and it is probable that rich sulphides will be found more generally below the water level.

F0UR-LEAVED CLOVER RARE
Plant Everywhere Considered an Omen of Good Luck is Really r"
 Freak Growth.

Even in Druidic worship In pre- Christian times, the tref0il leaves of the clover plant were symbols of re- ligion, setting forth the three grades of Druids. Barde and Neophites. In Christian mythology its leaf Is ire quently held to symbolize the Trinity, and some Irish authorities insist that 1t Is the true and original shamrock which St. Patrick used to illustrate how three separate objects, such as leaves, could be one.
 The four-leaf-clover Is freak growth and the causes that produce 1t are heredity and nutrition. After a moist season clover plants with from four to seven leaves, and some having only two leaves, are found. Some plants are abnormal by heredity, and reproduce themselves with the same characteristics in successive years when their environment remains the same, external influences merely modi- flying the size of the leaves.
 The four-leaf clover is everywhere held as an omen of good lucky Nto the finder, partly on account of its rarity and partly because of its crosslike form.

SHAREHOLDERS OF THE HIGHLAND M. & M. co.
 MEETING HERE TODAY

A number of shareholders of the Highland Mining company have ar rived from the east, and meeting of the board of directors will be held in Kingman today. The men are large shareholders in the company and it is their purpose to work out the finances to an extent that will bring the large mine holdings of the company into productive condition. The company is the owner of the best mining prop erty in the county. It has the Col conda, a mine that has made millions for the old owners; the Prosperity, a large producer of rich ore; the prim- rose, another producer; the Blackfoot, one of the mines that made leasers wealthy; the Middle Golconda prop erty, that has many thousands of tons of valuable ore blocked out ready to mill. The company has new milling plant almost ready to go into com mission, and all these properties have been purchased and developed to a wonderful extent, a mill purchased and assembled, all for an incredibly small expenditure of money. The group of mines are wonderful from a production point of view. The Col ,conda has shaft 1400 feet on the in cline and thousands of feet of lateral work, while the other claims have been opened to a depth of about 600 feet through tunnels and adit drifts. Every opening shows mill ore of high value and further work should bring in enormous bodies of shipping and mill ores.
 No company in the state has ob- tained the value from their invest ment that the Highland has obtained. Of course, it is necessary to carry de- velopment further on the properties and to complete the big mill, but there is now in sight more than enough ore to return far more than the original investment with interest.

Carved Statue of Famed God.


 The name of Unkei. is a household word to the Japanese. The son of a fisherman, and in his youth @ humble fishermen himself. he was responsible for one of the most remarkable epochs in the history of Japanese wood sculp- ture. The story Is told by those who are supposed to know that the king of the underworld was very much irri- tated that Unkei had never done him justice, although the sculptor had at- tempted to carve his image many times, says Elsie F. Wei, in Asia. So when he died, the king of the dead Buddhist souls sent Unkei back to earth, that after having seen the god, he might make faithful portrait. The result may be seen today in the temple Enno-ji at Kamawkura, where Unkei's statue of Emma, cruel and savage in its strength, strikes terror into the hearts of all who fear to meet the Judge of Hell.

 eve were greatly shocked yester- day morning when, noting in our local papers press reports to the effect that the town of Oatman had been practically destroyed by fire. In the evening paper the reports were to the effect that the business and residen- tial portion of the town had been de- stroyed with the exceptin of four buildings but that the mines and their equipment had in no way been effect ed. ,,.
 Realizing that a disaster of this kind will, without doubt, cause great hardship and wishing to do something to relieve the condition, caused us to wire YOU today through the Northern Trust Company s1oO.oo with the sug- pestion that this amount be used by YOU to best possible advantage.
 Shall hope to have full information with regard to the exact conditions in Oatman in due course and in the meantime with every hope that the reports as received by us may have been greatly exaggerated, we remain ,,,;+b Hind repardS."

FoUR-POWER THEATY IN FINAL
FORM AND NAVAL AGREE
MENT ASSURED.
JAPS NEAR DECISION
1T is PREDICTED THAT JAPAN
WILL ACCEPT 5-6-s NAVY
RATIO SHORTLY.
western Newspaper Union New, serice.)

Washington.-With the four-power
treaty In final form and an agreement
on naval ratio regarded as practically
assured, the arms conference is confi-
dem they can finish their major duties
here by January. Problems of the
Far East and details of the ava re-
duction program, including the ques-
ton Of Pacific island Notifications
and naval bases, now become the sub
jects of primary consideration. The
Far Eastern discussions are to be
pressed forward at daily meetings OF
the committee of the whole, while the
naval situation is clearing up through
communication with the foreign cap
itals and while the separate %negotia-
lions over Shantung and zap are verg-
ing toward decision.
Although there are indications that
Japan is about ready to accept the
American 1913 naval ratio, It Is not
cinsidered unlikely that she may re-
frain from committing herself defi-
nitely until there Is a clearer under
standing about future Notifications on
the Pacific.
There has been a general indication
that the powers are willing to assent
to an arrangement by which all pres
ent defenses in the Pacific would be
retained and none added, but the ques-
ton is yet to he made the subject Of
formal exchanges.
Further instructions from Toxic
were received by the Japanese. Their
nature was not revealed, but there
were evidences that the japanese were
preparing to canvas the situation
relative to Pacific bases before going
further with the naval ratio discus
sion.
The two subjects have been long re-
garded by Japan as inseparable, and
her desire to dispose of both together
is not regarded as a serious barrier to
a ratio agreement.
The negotiations on China, although
proceeding separately, also are receiv-
ing the careful attention of IN Jap
anese, while the naval question is In
allegiance, and there have been some
hints that they would prefer to see a
decision In that quarter also before
they make their acceptance of the g.
5-8 final and binding.
II Is h general expectation that the
result of the Far Eastern discussions
will be IA united declaration Of policy
by the nine nations embodying the
-four points of Ellhu Root and max
ing such specific application of them as
may be found possible. Such a declara-

already had received the Endorsements
of the governments In London, Toki
and Paris and the approval of the
American administration, and 1t is as
sumed that 1t will be ratified by CON
gress when submitted TO 1t, since 1t is
not drawn In the form of an alliance
or entente which would be dlstasteful
to a large element In the senate.
By this agreement the four powers
recognize the status quo of the island
possessions of each In the Pacific and
undertake to settle by mediation or
arbitration any disputes that may arise
between two or more OF the powers
concerning those possessions and that
are not settled by conference of the
four powers.
Upon the ratification of the pact by
h powers the Anglo-Japanese ALI
ance is to be terminated, which will
be pleasing not only to the United
States but also to the British domin-
n The abrogation of that alliance
Will make II safe for America to re-
duce Its navy and will permit close
cooperation between this country and
Britain In handling questions pertain
ing to the Pacific.
Since the other powers are pledged,
by the status quo agreement, to re-
frain from aggression against the Phil
ippines the islands are virtually neu-
tralized and the United States is re-
lieved of the necessity of strengthen
ing its defenses there and in Guam.
The agreement also operates to record
the recognition by America of the
japanese mandate over the former
German islands that lie north of the
equator, and Ii was understood thai
the United States and Japan had
reached, outside the conference, a set
Element of their disputes over commun-
ication n commercial rights, espe-
cially those pertaining to the island of
zap.
With this quadrilateral agreement
reached, II is believed the other main
problems before the conference will Ii,
speedily solved. The acceptance of
the Hughes naval reduction plan Is at
hand, including the 5-5-3 ratio, for
even Japan will not hold out against
It now. The matter OF the strength of
the French and Italian navies will be
settled at u future conference, as will
be some Of the problems relating to
China. However, before adjourning.
the conference will do all It can with
the Chinese questions, and the Chinese,
when the situation is fully understood
by them, probably will have to he sat
isfied with this.
japanese and Chinese delegates are
not getting along so well as was
hoped in their discussion of the vac
alton Of Shantung, and the latter may
yet insist that the question be placed
before the conference without prelim-
mary settlement. The Chinese feel
that they are getting the worst of
things In the conference, and n or
two important members OF their dele
CATION have resigned.
The conference committee on Far
East questions has pledged that the
nine powers II represents will respect
the neutrality Of China In future vars,
and has agreed on II wireless v
tlon by which the various government
radio stations In legation compounds
shall be used only for government
messages. except when ordinary means
OF telegrnphic communication are In
terrupted.
