Little Girls Plea
Releases Daddy
Two Hand in Hand Ask Judge
HardisOn to Let Him
Come Home.

With a plea straight from the
heart, two little girls, one 10 years
old and the other IL, yesterday won
Police Court and brought about the
release of their father, held on a
charge of drunkenness.
The father was arrested Friday
night, and being unable to pay a
$40 fine, was sentenced to serve ten
days in jail. However. that made
no difference to the children, whose
daddy was supposed to come home
and did not. And they decided to
go to court and bring him back.
Cnescorted they. walked into the
courtroom hand in hand. past the
rows of spectators, right up to
where Judge Hardison was sitting.
The judge. they had been told. was
a nice man" and would not keep
their dad in jail IL they promised to
take him home and see that he
didn't drink any more whisky"
And they did not plead in vain.
I am going to let you have
your daddy" said the judge" but
tell him that the next time he
thinks about getting drunk to
think about you first and maybe
that will prevent him from being
arrested. and then I won't have to
send him to Jail any more"
The youthful pleaders agreed, and
Judge Hardison Immediately or
dered the man brought up and
placed on probation.

Demands General Strike.
Demands for general strike,
Gompers declared yesterday, have
poured in in greater volume since
the rail strike began than at any
time in his more than forty years
as a labor official, not excepting
1894. when the full strength of the
Federstion's executives had to be
used to prevent Eugene v. Debs'
Pullman strike from involving
other trades.
For the most part, these demands
come from central bodies which
make up the bulk of the "lunatic
fringe" at every federation conven-
tion. More than any other section
of the movement. these bodies are
radical and vocal, but they are none
the less representative of sentiment
in their communities.
The demands of these bodies will
be submitted to the executive

 BOLD SHOP LITTER

Able Bale caught a burglar. It all happened last Tuesday when Mamie Jenkins, saleslady for the c. c. Co. spied a Mexican tucking a ladies silk dress under his blouse and starting to make a getaway. She told Able, but the Mexican got wise, dropped the dress and started down the alley. It all happened just like that.
 The fleet-footed Able started in pursuit and showed the old speed that has made him a successful base-run- ner. Down the alley, through the Boston Cafe and over toward the depot went the Mexican with Abie two and one half jumps behind. Then the fates intevened and "Caramba", the fates deserted the old boy from the land of Sunny Mexico and he fell down.. Bale landed astraddle of his neck.
 Able gave the would be thief some good advice about not taking silk dresses that belonged to other people and turned him loose.

0ATMAN UNITED AIR
 HOLE DOWN S20fT.

The air hole that is being drilled from the apex of the Oat,nan United vein to the deep level has reached a depth of S20 feet, and it is figured that connection will soon be made. This hole will relieve tho wire of much foul air and allow of work be- ing carried on in the stopes without artificial aerating. The mines.of Oat- man are hot, owing to the greater part of the properties being dry, all though every effort has been made to keep them we'll supplied with pure fresh air. The system that is being put in by the Oatman United people, we believe, will relieve them of the big burdsn; of driving air into the stopes and the air hole is sure to have great pulling power in the clearing the mines of smoke and gas.
 Work on the property is being car ried On rapidly, stopes being opened and every effort put forth to get ores going milfward as soon as possible. It is expected that shipments will be sent out to the Tom Reed mill before the first of the month.

PREPARING TO START
 TUCkAH0 PROPERTY

E. F. Carter has a small force of men at work on the Tuckahoe mine, at Chloride, and within a short time the property is expected to be in full operation. The Tuckahoe about d
 year ago had opened up splendid vein of ore in one of the deeper levels
 and was compelled to discontinue work at most inoportune time on account of lack of finances. It is now re- ported that the company has secured the necessary funds to start new de- velopment campaign, and this time we expect that the big ore body will be entered to such an extent that produc- tion may be gotten we'll under way. The management of the mine is in ex- cellent hands and the people who have put their money into the company may rest assured that they will get a run for every nickle of their investment. , The Tuckahoe mine is considered one of the most important of the sil- yer properties of Chloride. It was for years in the hands of chloriders and these men shipped out an immense ore tonnage. The values were always good and the returns compensated the men operating the property in rich returns. The mine finally found it's way into the hands of the present company and large amount of work has been done, especially in the open ing of the mine at lower level ami the pointing out of the ore bodies. The new ore body is said to be one of the best ever opened in the prop .erty and it is to be hoped that fur ther exploration will put the mine on a pay basis. .'' .~. ." .-'. ;.

0ATMAN GOLD CR0SS- .. CUT IN NEW GROUND

The ;westdrift from the 500 level of the Oatman Gold is reported to have broken into the same character of ground as that found in the Oatman United, whioh[is said to carry good mill values. Just what. the values may berin the new Oatman Gold vein has not been disclosed, if known. Charles Rugh, general manager of the property, was in Kingman yesterday and showed the writer some of the material from the vein, which looked good. No assays had been run on this rock and none of it had been horned. Further development will be carried on along, the big vein and the belief is general that pay ore will be en- countered, if it has not already been disclosed.
 The work on the Oatman Gold has been carried on with wonderful rapid ity, the miners driving the shaft and drifts in record time. Oatman IS on the quieve vieve over the possibilities of this property and before many days it will be officially given out to the public whatever may have been found in the big vein.

SANDY LAND WILL
 SOON BE OPENED

Many people interested in the lands along the Big Sandy creek are anx iously awaiting some action in the matter of opening the grant lands of the Santa Fe in that section of the county to entry. The enactment of the law allowing the Santa Fe to relin- quish the odd numbered sections in townships 16, 16la and r north, range 1 3west, was signed by the president on the 24th of August and is now awaiting the promulgation of rules and regulations for the transfer of these lands and the manner of entry on same. It is possible that the sol dier boys will be given a preferential right to entry in these lands, of say 60 days, with exception of the tracts that have been reSided upon for some years, in which event these settlers will be allowed time in which to per- feet their entries.
 The act reads as follows:
 Be it enacted, etc. "That the sec retary of the Interior be, and he is hereby authorized and empowered, in his discretion, to accept a relinquish- ment from the owners of the odd num- bered sections of land falling within townships 16, 161s and IF north of thirteen west, Arizona, and permit said owners to select and receive in ex- change therefor patents of an equal area of vacant surveyed, nonmineral, nontimbered public lands of the Unit ed States in the county of Mohave, State of Arizona"
 < It is expected that the secretary will soon issue rules affecting entries on these lands first having caused re- inquishment to be entered by the railroad people. A hurry call has been sent into the department and it is probable that within'a short time the lands will be opened to entry by bona- fide homesteaders. The lands are we'll situated on the Big Sandy, embracing the townships just below the Stephens place and north to the Bee ranch, talk ing in the Hardwick place at Wickie- up.
