matter was the announcement of

with Mr.. Love, drew up the petition

the petition, which was interpreted in
some quarters as a request for Mr..

 Of Aldermen.

New Haven, May 2O.-The Board of Finance at its meeting last night au- thorized Chief Philip T. Smith of the police department to purchase for the department a new seven-passenger Cadillac sedan The machine will cost the city s3,so0 as a reduction of sl.S0O from the quoted price of s5,6o0 is allowed for the old car. The money needed to purchase the car is already in the police department ac- count, left from an unspent appropri- ation.

It was the request of Chief Smith that he be authorized to buy the Cadillac car.

CASWELL REPORTS
 ROBINSON LEASE
 IS LOOKING GOOD

H. M. CasWell, who is associated in the lease on the Robinson and Sands property in Secret Pass, departed to Los Angeles last Saturday, where he expected to pass the holiday season with his mother. MT. Caswell report ed to the Miner that the lease on the property was showing up eXcellently and that shipment of ore will soon go forward to the shelter. The mine is one of the most important in the south part of the Secret Pass section and those who have looked it over be- lieve that it will be one of the largest producers of rich ore in that section. The vein is four feet thick and shows ore for several hundred feet in length in the vein outcrop. A shaft is to be carried down into the ore body as fast as the four men interested in the lease can drive it.

GOLD CLIFF TO BE
 OPERATING SOON

George McDevitt, who is financing the Gold Cliff mines, at Oatman, was in Kingman yesterday. He reports that things are looking good for. the company affairs and that it will be but short time until operations are under way on the properties. The holdings of the Gold Cliff lie to the southwest of the Tom Reed and good looking veins traverse the properties. The company has practically all of it's stock intact, and the other shares out standing are protected by pooling of issues. .
 For the past several years effort has been made to get this property by various interests, but without suc- cess until a short time ago, when MT. McDevitt and associates took over all the holdings. Miners who have looked the property over carefully are of the opinion that it is one of the most promising of any of the undeveloped veins of the district.

downs.
 Snoddy scored for Centre toward the end of the third period and Rob- erts kicked the goal, making the first point from a goal kick of the game.
 During the last quarter Centre worked down close to their goal and shot a pass over the line. It was a complete one, but Snoddy caught it behind the safety line, so the score failed to count, and Arizona had the ball once more. The Wildcats were held and Marshall was forced to kick.
 Covington received the long punt and ran 55 yards to a touchdown. It was the longest run of the contest and the most spectacular of the day. Bartlett came back after the next kickoff and after line bucks made the last score of the game and kicked the goal, making the score 3S to 0. After Roberts kick Arizona h~ld the ball and worked it to midfiC:l., where the contest ended."

Edgar A. Bryan, travelling freight and passenger agent of the coast lines of the Santa Fe, dropped off in King man today, and in company with J.. T. Maxey, Santa Fe agent of King man, called at the Miner office and other business establishments in Kingman.
 MT. Bryan when asked about freight rates had this to say: "You have probably noticed news items in several of the papers lately about railroads cutting freight rates on different ar .ticles from eastern points to coast terminals. The Santa Fe is making the same cuts, though owing to the fact that we have no publicity man, that fact is not always mentioned. The Santa Fe is a member of the Pacific Freight and Traffic Bureau the same as these other roads and are governed by the freight rate cut or ders as they are." MT. Bryan is mak- ing his first trip over the road since he took the new office.

HENRY JOHNSON BACK
 FROM CHIHUAHUA

Henry Johnson returned from trip into the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, a few days ago having gone into the re- public to look after his interests in a large iron property This property is we'll situated, being close to rail- road and in one of the best parts of the mineralized section of the state. There is about 10000, 1000 tons of high grade hemitite ore opened in the prop erty, and we understand that a good offer has been made based on the ton mage in sight. The men back of the deal expect to ship the ores to big smelter near water transportation, whence the refined product may be sent to the United States or Europe.
 The development of the iron ore mines of Mexico is one of the most important projects in that wonder fully mineralized country, giving local users of the metal low cost iron and steel. It is probable that the Mexican government may enter ex- tensively into the production of steel, unless private interests supply the constantly increasing demands of that market. A few years ago Mexico was buying it's powder from the American manufacturers, but the constantly ln- creasing costs compelled the govern ment to install big plant of it's oWn' supplying the mining interests ot the various states with low cost explo- siyes. The internecine wars initiated strongly against active mining, but gradually the country is getting back to normal and all forms of mineral de- velopment will be increased until it reaches a better plane than ever.

OPEN UP GOOD VEIN
 IN WEAVER DISTRICT

Frank Humphreys, B. o. Marvin and Columbus Ross arrived in King man few days ago with news of the discovery by them of group of min es about two miles west of the old Jennie mine, in Weaver district. The men had been prospecting in that country for some time an dat the time of the discovery of the veins were in search of water. They found the vein outcrop on one of the ridges running toward the Colorado river, and dig ging into it were rewarded in finding ore rich in silver chlorides. Samples taken to Kingman gave results of $1O across the outcrop of six feet, and at a depth of six feet a sample was talk en that gave result of $70 across eight inches. This streak and the whole vein show increasing width with depth.
 A camp outfit has been sent to the property and the men purpose sinking a shaft to a depth of 100 feet as fast as possible. The property is well sit uated, being only about six miles from the Colorado river, and good spring of water is within a short distance Of camp. The men interested are all miners, having had years of eXper- fence in the business. The territory In which the new claims are situated has long been known for its rich sll- yer ores, as we'll as carrying values in gold.

Known Bandit
 Dies in Kingman
Continued From Page D

At this time a posse consisting Ot Murray, Dickinson and Chet Dicker- son, brother of Frank Dickerson, came up. Murray and Mahoney went into the house and Murray said to Wen dell, "What did you kill that Los An geles policeman for". Wendell said, q did not kill him but I was in the party that did" A short time after wards Mahoney had him sign a state ment to the effect that he was in the back seat of the murder car but that "Curley" had started the shooting and did the killing. He also blamed Cal Rowell another one of the gang, and said the Los Angeles bunch were try ing to frame on him and that he would rather die than be taken back. A doctor and a minister, tourists, drove up. The doctor administered first aid and it was found that three shots had been fired at his heart and one had gone through his abdomen. The three fired at his heart would have meant instant death had it not been for a little watch, belonging to his wife, which he was carrying in his shirt pocket, which deflected the bullets, the little watch being shattered.
 Sheriff Mahoney and deputy Harris put Wendell on Santa Fe train No. 1 and started for the coast but as the train approached Kingman, it was seen that he was dying. Wendell knew he was dying and asked the off cers to take him off here and told them that if they would have the blood pumped out of his stomach he might live two or three hours.
 He was taken off here and taken to Mrs. Olander's, where Doctor White did all he could for him but made the statement that there was no hope for him, that he was bleeding internally. At 2 o'clock Father Hootsman was called, Wendell becoming a Catholic, and spent his last hour with the priest.
 At nine o'clock Tuesday night he died, II hours after he had shot him self. His thought was of his mother who lives in Bluejacket, Oklahoma, his former home. He continually said My: poor Mother" and his last words were scribbled on a piece of paper, Mother, Bluejacket, Oklahoma, Good EbySe''. >' The message will be" sent to his mother. Wendell also has wife and two children at Compton, Cali fornia.
 Wendell who was 39 years of age, had led a long life of crime. He was one of the gang that figured in the robberies of the Murray State Bank, the Layton Bank and numerous other robberies in Utah. His gang were also international automobile thieves. Four other members of the gang are now in jail in Los Angeles and some of them, if not all, will hang.
 j., Detectives Sargeants Hicock, Err vene and Raymond of the automobile theft bureau of the Southern Califor- nia Automobile Club were here yes terday, accompanied by Eddy of the Examiner and Wills of the Times. It is due to the fast work of Hicock Ervene and Raymond that the other four men of the gang have been jailed. They said the reward for this man would be one-fifth of the $1O,- 900 offered for the whole gang.
 Wendell's body has been embalmed and will probably be shipped to his home at Bluejacket, Oklahoma.
