FLAGSTAFF GAME MEN TO
WAGE WAR ON CROWS

The Flagstaff Game Protective as
sociation is back of war on the
crow as a destroyer of the eggs and
young of game and useful birds,
young rabbits, poultry and crops. The
war will be carried on by the sports
men and farmers of this vicinity dur
ing this spring in an effort to save
game and crops from the crows dep
relations. Local gunners who are
familiar with the crows habits state
that he is the worst enemy that use
full birds have and that he is respon-
sible for more damage than any other
bird in wild life. G. NJ. Willard, state
game warden of Arizona, states that
in Arizona the crow is regarded as a
vicious bird of prey and treated as
such. He has no friends in this state
and deserves none.
The efforts of local sportsmen and
farmers will be helped by the fact
that a general movement against the
crow is in force throughout the coun-
try. At this time of year the nesting
season for birds begins and if they
are to be protected from the crows
ravages and allowed to raise their
young, quick action on the part of
sportsmen and farmers is necessary.
In many sections the depredations of
crows have been so serious that farm
ers have had to go to the expense of
replanting crops.
In one of the western states a CEN
sus shows that there are from ten to
fifteen million Of crows and that it
costs the people of that state a dol
lar head per year to feed them.
Thirty eight states of the union
through their game protection author
tiles and agricultural officials are
back of their sportsmen and farmers
III the fight against the crow. It is
expected thats through the efforts be-
ing made this year to lessen the num-

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

Three Boy Scouts of Minneapolis,
Minn., recently saved two women and
a man from death in an icy lake. The
deed done, they went quietly away
without giving their names. One of
the boys, Scout Howard Sallows, later
injured and laid up in hospital,
was recognized as the principal hero
of the rescue. Thus did the identity
of the plucky trio seep out.
The three boys were in GlenWood
Park when frantic screams for help
reached them. They saw two women
struggling lin the nearby lake.
Forming human chain, the boys
were pulling the women to safety
when one of them gasped in terror,
"My brother, my brother" and point
ed to a jagged hole in the ice.
Sallows dived into the water and
CROPPED about until his fingers touched
4 flumar form. Taking firm hold Of
the clothing of the drowning brother,
he drew the half unconscious man to
the top. The other boys pulled him
ashore. Then, with teeth chattering
and clothing drenched and stiff, the
young life-savef hastened home leav-
ing the rescued trio in the capable
hands of his comrades.

AMALGAMATED OFFICER
TO KEEP UP WORK

if Y q II 5
Charles Prochnow, secretary, and
Edgar Whipple, d large shareholder
of the Oatman Amalgamated Mining
company, passed through Kingman
last Friday night on their way to their
homes in Flagstaff, after an inspec-
tion of the property. These men have
been active in the financing of the
property and have invested largely of
their own funds, and they now have
matters shaped up for large camp
aign of development, which will be
undertaken as soon as f.. A. Ritter,
consulting engineer, arrives at the
property.
The Amalgamated mines are sit
uated west of the Gold Road and are
believed to be on the same lode, as
well as being at the intersection of
the Tom Reed lode. "A shaft has been
sunk 800 feet on the vein, but it was
carried down in the shattered portion
of the vein, and we rather expect that
development will have to be carried
outside this zone before important
ore bodies are discovered. Diamond
drills have been carried out into
promising territory and it is to be
expected that the cutting of the vein
and the carrying of the lateral mater
ial will bring in real producer. On
the 300 level the vein that was entered
carried an important ore and on the
surface promising ore was found,
which impresses us that when the vein
is entered at the proper place it will
show ore bearing qualities of great
Importance. The men at the head of
affairs have been constantly carrying
on exploratory work that will surely
bring in a producer. -Kingman Miner

100000. The business of the people
is almost wholly agricultural. but the
country has enough railways Of
standard gauge to reach from Boston
to the Mississippi river, and it has an
even greater number of narrow
gauge lines, all of which belong to
the state. It's public roads. Joined to-

Seattle and back to New York, and
most of them are more or less in need
of repair.
Bulgaria has but few large cities.
Sofia, where I am writing, is twice
the size Of Memphis. Philippopolis,
in the center, is about the size OF
Peoria, and Varna, the port on the
Black sea, is about as big as Mobile.
There are perhaps a dozen other mu-
nicipa1 centers, ranging from that
size dkwn to 10000 or SO, but most of
the population live in small villages,
from which the people go out to work
on the farms. All Of these towns
need public improvements.
Bulgaria was ruled by the Turks
for 500 years, and 1t is for only a
little more than a generation that 1t
has had chance to be Independent
and work for itsef. This makes the
land practically new and the govern
ment is anxious to create good high
ways. to build new railways, to erect
municipal. town and country buildings
and to develop the country to the full.
All this means work, and it gives one
some idea Of the need of free labor.
The need is especially great in a prin-
cipality that fought with Germany
