INDIAN
 AFFAIRS HERE TO-DAY

Charles H. Burke, of the Indian Bureau of the Interior Department, Inspector Tom Roberts and H. 5. Pears of the same department, who are here on a trip of inspection of the various reservations in the southwest, came in from Fort Mohave this morn ing, accompanied by w. E. Thackery, of the Colorado Indian agency. The gentlemen were met here by large delegation of the business men of Kingman and the subject of large experimental farm in Mohave valley was discussed. The gentlemen are in favor of the establishment of such a station and MT. Thackery, who has charge of the experiment stations and farms for Indian welfare, is also said to favor such an institution. MT. Thackery is brother of w. E. Thack- cry, agent at Fort Mohave, and was formerly in other branches of the h. dian service. The gentlemen expect to go to Valentine this afternoon and will take the night train to Flagstaff, from which point they will visit the Moqui and other Indian reservations.
 Special Agent Peale was also with the party, but will remain at the Fort the next: thirty days.

WILL CONVENE TO DISCUSS DENNISON
 BLUE SKY LAW

Sometime near the middle of June a convention of. men interested in metals mining will be called at Den yer for the purpose of discussing the proposed Denison Blue Sky law, which is now before congress. This bill is decried by mining interests, because it strikes at the promotion of mining shares alone, no other industry being brought under the purview of the bill. Not, only will this matter be a subject of discussion but every other matter relating to mining will be under the vision of the delegates and may be taken up and a thorough understand ing had of them. Mining is now in the public eye and every effort of would-be legislators is being made to keep it out of the money so that the big interests may divert investment in tax free bonds and the issues of European countries. Mining is too important to the whole country to be put under the whip by these small caliber politicians and it may be that reprisal measures will have to be in- voked: Mining is the life blood of the Nation and it is only the minimizing ones that seek to impede it or put it out of commission. In the event the call is made for this convention a number of mining men from this coun- ty should be there to help the good cause with their moral support.

COLORADO RIVER
 SHOWS IS FIT. RAISE

The Colorado river at Topock shows g guage measurement of 15 feet, which is about the usual height for this time of the year, but the expectation is that flood far beyond that of last year may be expected. The cold of the early part of the week may retard the rush of water, but this will be but for a few days, it being possible that the heavy storms in the mountain may go off with rains, in which event the flood will be the greatest ever known.
 The storm of a few days ago left a heavy blanket of snow on the foot hills throughout the Colorado river basin, which adds greatly to the snow- fall of the winter months.

KELLY BUYS INTEREST
 IN BEALE BARBER SHOP

F. A. Kelly has bought an interest in the Beale Barber Shop and is now on the job at the old stand. We say the old stand because Kelly has been there before. Before he went to war he became acquainted with most of the people of this country and after the war he was there a short time again. Now he says he is back to stay. Kelly is known chiefly for his cleverness in the art of terpsichore. On the dance floor when he glides, la Vernon Castle, Tommy Devine says the crowds gasp with amazement or something.

Placer Mining at Silver
 Creek Near Oatman

Continued From Page D
 placer deposits was ever found. On Silver Creek we have district which proves immense veins and ledges, capable of supplying enormous placer deposits.
 In the Cash Creek mining district, near Mt. Mckinley, millions of dol- lars were taken by hydraulic placer ing. This country did not have the showings on the surface which appear on Silver Creek.
 The violent cloudbursts which have made Silver Creek spasmodically raging torrent, has made the gulch natures own mill where gold bearing rock has been crushed to an infinite fineness, and the gold. thus" released should be concentrated by natural rifles along the rough topography of the stream bed.
 Years ago.. during the time when the old Hardy property was being worked, prospectors banned the hills and gulches for gold. Some very large nuggets were found in the main chan nel of the creek, around which erosion has taken place. In many instances pay dirt is found on benches, caused, it is believed, by the dropping of the creek bed to a lower level, leaving the gold deposits on the benches or shelves in a series of terraces. In many places bedrock is only two or three feet, and good sized nuggets have re- gently been taken at this depth. N A test shaft is being put down on the property held by the Syndicate at a distance of about four hundred feet from a point where the channel be- gins to widen. At this place, the width of the creek is about 600 feet, and the~shaft is about 150 feet from the solid formation on the south side of the gulch, believed to be the south wall of the old channel. The Syndi- cate is sinking this shaft to bedrock and if pay dirt is found they will cross-cut the entire width of the chan nel, or put down a series of shafts across the channel. The, members of the Syndicate feel certain, that a pay streak will be found in their e first shaft.
 The Syndicate is comprised of: c. E. Durlin, A. G. Cushman, Harve N. Hammond, Nelson Hammond, Sam Bayles, L. c. Monks, M. B. Dudley, R. W. Wilde, J. J. Mccarthy and K. H. Davis, all of whom are boosters and will gc the limit in development of this placer. The Syndicate is formed as Common Law Trust, with valua- ton of $150 0,000.o0. This is subdivided on a unit basis, there being three thousand units with par value of $50.O0 each, half of which still re- mains in the treasury regardless of the fact that preliminary develop ment has been financed.

KINGMAN WINS SECOND GAME
 WITH NEEDLES

(C0ntlnued From rage l) fore a, crowd is a little new to him.: Reed has, the makings of ball player though and can be depended upon to show up strong as the season pro- gresses.
 Captain Robinson had more luck with his hitting, getting one two bag ger and single. Robinson is one of the most consistent hitters on the team and the fans will be glad to see him hitting the little apple in usual form.
 McMillan also started to kill off his hitting slump and got single. We expect better things from Mac as the season warns up and there is no doubt but that he will come through.
 Bale got himself a two bagger and scored on it. Able had been signalled to bunt but didn't catch it. However, making the two base hit, it came in handy.
 Sunday Kingman and Winslow mix it on the local grounds and for the first time Stumbaugh, the new pit cher will be seen in action. Sum- baugh is in the Santa Fe engineering department here and will pitch for Kingman. He was formerly a twirler in the Kansas State League and is said to be good. Dunn will be seen for the first time behind the bat by the local fans.
 Following is the box score for last Sundays game at Needles:

This is one of the three finest dramas of the year. and you will miss a good
 one if you don't come to see it. A story of mountain mothers and moun4 tain men, and the love of a mountain mother for her son. No other picture of the year has a scene, of such vivid suspense and dramatic intensity as the fight. Here's the combat of David and Goliath staged in the Virgin mountains, and it's combat unparalleled in power.
