Sheriff Hill Up
for denomination

A petition is being circulated by
the friends of sheriff E. J. Hill for
his denomination at the fall elect
ion. The announcement that Sher-
if Hill will again be candidate
will hardly create political news,
only perhaps from the fact of his
long service to the people of Or
leans county who, appreciative of
the high-class of service rendered
for the past twelve years desire to
again return him to this office.
Mr.. Hill in past elections has
met with little opposition. No
other candidate has been mention
ed. 1t is probably no other political
star will appear on the horizon.

HOME MYSTERIOUSLY ENTERED

Last Sunday evening the residence of prominent contractor living in the northeastern part of town was en- tered by rliscreants but they were ap- parently frightened away before they succeeded in obtaining any thing of value, if ths was ther purpose. The occurrence, however, wears an air of mystery, so this gentleman reports, as a diligent search of the premises re- vealed the fact that the only thing disturbed was long handled bath brush an this was ater found peare- fully reclining at the foot of the bed, where ones "tootsies" woud be wont to rest after they have retired. The utmost secrecy is being maintained by the entire family in hopes that they may learn who these mysterious visi- tors were and what was their pur- pose.

MINERS BIG CONTEST
 NEARS END

v"tes will go into the ballot box the next two weeks. Then two weeks hence the judges vii open the box a'l make the final count adding to what have already been voted, all votes found in the box. That will be the eventful night when the winners will be presented with the prizes they have won.
 If you subscribed for the paper be- twewen now and the close of the con- test, two weeks from now, do not be surprised if yo udo not receive your paper, for your subscription will be in the ballot box and we can not get into it until the night of Friday, Novem- Der 10th.
 We have endeavored to get all of the many new subscribers which have already come in put on our lists. If you have subscribed already and do not receive your paper, let us know.
 There is only two weeks more to help your favorite candidate over the top. She will be mighty busy the next two weeks and perhaps you can help out considerably by sending your subscription to her rather than wait ing for her to come and see you.
 The last lap of the contest is started.

them to further and continued re- search. While the work was. pro- gressing, they kept their secret to themselves, until they had located all the choice ground which they were entitled to hold. At the present time, they have booked out 1,5Oo,000 cubic yards. The dirt has been run thru crude rocker in which a large part of the values are not recovered, but the lowest sampling has been $1.50 cubic yard, while the highest has yielded $16 50. A dollar cubic yard is considered good thing in any mans country, where water is avail able. In this district an abundance of water can be secured by impound- ing the flood waters of Wright Creek, only two miles distant, and by going a mile higher, an additional supply is obtainable, it is claimed, that is suf- ficient for hydraulic operations.
 Where Situated
 The new placer field is located in the Cottonwood mining district, 22h miles south of Peach Springs. It is easily accessible over good road by automobile for the entire. distance from the railroad. A wash known as Wright Creek runs through the dis trict, but the source of the gold that is distributed through the district has it's origin in an ancient river bed which can be traced by miles along a high plateau in a northerly and southerly direction. the head of which is in the southern part of the county. The erosion of years-perhaps cen turies--has cut away the original banks, exposing gravel beds that have been held in place by stratas of lime and sandstone. The round pebbles, Epolished by attrition, are stained with iron, and between them lies black sand which is invariably found in rich placer fields. This old river bed runs along hill with an elevation of 500 feet above the plain beneath. There are deep gulches where it disappears, only to reappear again on the opposite hill.
 Believe It a Bonanza
 Among the first to make locations in the district, after Little and Lave had made the discovery were Connolly and Casey, two prospectors who had been working along the Colorado river. To Journal-Miner man Con- nelly said: q have placered all over the west and this is the biggest thing l ever saw-not only big in its values but in the extent of the field"
 w. B. Harrison, who with his as- sociates, located 12 claims directly south of those of Little and Lave, is so enthusiastic over the prospect that he announced yesterday that as soon as he could complete certain painting contracts, which he has in mind, that he will abandon his business in Pres colt, and devote his entire time there after to the developmnt of his group of claims. q have been in the mining game" said he, "for many years, and believe that l thoroughly understand placer conditions. After a thorough investigation, I am firmly convinced that the Rich Gulch district will rival if not surpass anything that has ever before been discovered in America. Anywhere l banned the dirt on the surfac I got colors. When bedrock is reached would not be surprised if we unearthed nuggets like those that made the Klondike in Alaska world famous"

 both ways on the most promising of these, This is the consistent plan followed by experienced miners and is correct practice under the circum- stances. Were it possible to put on a larger force, I should, by all means, drive out on the No. 1 vein under the Hartman Spring Section, but to stop present work in order to do this dis rupts the general plan of our cam paign at this time.
 The west drift in Vein No. 2 in 55 feet when | left and the material was banning well ,and the assays showed values-in some cases up to $500 per ton. This it seems to me points the way to an ore-shoot ahead
 I feel more than ever that we are going to bring in a big mine. Even in the remote possibility that we should be disappointed in all the oth- CTS, there would still remain the def ihitey known ore-shoot in the Kokomo Vein as the "ace in the hole" to bor- row the gamblers term.
 In the meantime, it is imperative that we adhere strictly to our we'll thought-out plan of development if we are to secure the best results in the shortest time and at the least ex- pense. To date all our work has mov- ed toward a definite purpose and is being so conducted that all subsequent work will fall naturay into its proper pace. What we have got to watch cosely is the disturbance of the ground by faults and slips anc that we make the correct interpretation of the re- suits, where this is at all possible.
 l have no doubt but that to you, at a distance and waiting, the time seems long and the work slow. To us here it is going very fast for driv- ing through solid rock 500 feet under ground is not in the same class as drilling for an oil well.
 With hndest personal regards, and best wishes
 Very truly,
 EDWARD W. BROOKS. The Oatman Gold is temporarily closed down but is is thought work | will be resumed in the near future. Charles Pugh, general manager of the property left last night for Chicago for business conference.

to be done It has been drilling outdoors in good weather and bad. There is neither a drill hall to be used when the weather is indictment, as the government requires, nor an adequate stable
 Despite the fact that Atlanta, according to armory and stable for it's troop, Birming- ham has done nothing with the exception of one patriotic banker, who donated lot, and a local pipe company which made a contribu- ton.
 The small sum of $1o,000 will assure the re- tention of this troop by Birmingham. Its needs have been fully set forth in the news papers, but they have met with an apathetic response which is discouraging, to say the least. The war department has $25 000 worth of horses and equipment at stake, but it is not going to wait forever for Birmingham to show little patriotism and public spirit by providing suitable accommodations, not only for the comfort of the men, but for the pro- tection of the governments property.
 If we fold our hands and let the Birming- ham Sabres be disbanded for lack of proper support, we may live to regret it. Such a troop is an honor to any city, and it's services would be extremely useful in maintaining or der if they were ever needed for that purpose.
 The Sabres don't ask much. Can't we do something for them?

QUESTIONING AS IS
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Detectives have posed as all sorts of things. They are familiar with all the disguises in the repertoire of our old friend Hairbreadth Harry. But the sleuths who broke up a roulette mill of fashionable gentry in New York pulled a new one. They scratched and miaowed at the door. Whereupon some one with heart said, "Poor pussyl" and in open ing the door of the apartment to admit the supposed feline vagrant let the cat out of the bag.
 That kind of stunt is older than the trick of the Greeks who got the Trojans to let in what they thought was horse,w turned out to be band of armed men. It is older than the ass cavorting about in the lions skin or the wolf wearing the bonnet and specs of Red Riding Hoods granny. But these pussyfooters in real, true sense did not even have to possess themselves of the pelt of the creature they impersonated. They merely made the familiar music of the back fence Which proves that for detective it is per- haps better to be cat-voiced than to be lynx eyed.

A MORNING PRAYER
DECREASE IN FREIGHT TRAFFIC
 LESS IN THE SOUTH

While the falling off in freight traffic in 1921 was heavy throughout the country, it is encouraging to the south to learn that it was less in this section than in the east and west.
 Reports of the interstate commerce com mission show that there was a decline in freight traffic in the entire country in 1921 of 23. 3 per cent, the greatest relatively and absolutely that the railroads of the United States have ever suffered"
 The decrease in the east was 24. 5 per cent; in the west it was 22. 5 per cent, and in the south 20 6 per cent. In the month of Janu- ary, compared with December, the decrease in the east was 30 per cent, and in the south 20. per cent. The showing of the south is
 The slump in traffic bore hard on earning power. The railroads of the country could not emerge from the traffic conditions of 1921 in a healthy financial state. Indeed it seems remarkable that numbers of them sim ply did not quit and give it up as a bad job. The managers of the railroads, handicapped as they are by federal regulation, deserve commendation for having done as we'll as has been done and for their earnest efforts, in spite of the poor returns of last years, busi- ness, to contract for the equipment which they so badly need.
 In no business has the south suffered more than other sections, and in several lines it suffered less. The report on railroad traffic in 1921 clearly shows that the south was doing as well as could have been expected in 1921, hence is in position to go ahead as rapidly as any other section this year.
