BOY KIDNAPPED BY
BURGLARS-HE SAYS

Declaring he had been Kidnapped
by two burglars who robbed his
fathers store at Youngstown, Ohio,
Isadore Harshman, 12-year-old boy,
walked into the police station at No
gales and gave himself up to Chief of
Police Jay Lowe.
Although the police doubt the
youngsters story, they sent tele-
gram to Ben Harshman, 148 West
Evergreen street, Youngstown, but no
reply has been received. The boy
said that Ben Harshman is his father.
According to the story told by the
boy, the two burglars compelled him
to accompany them to Mexico after
robbing his fathers store, and he es-
caped from them after reaching
Mexico. :
Police think he has been reading
Diamond Dick" stories. He told
newspaper reporter that in Youngs-
town he was known as "Snake Eye
Dick" and that he was the leader of
a gang of gangsters. He claimed his
father is head of the Ohio Nation
company of Youngstown.

Harris, who was 38 years of age,
drove to the group of claims with his

property from Ben Rybon of Hum

When the cave-in occurred, Mr..
Stoney said Harris was in the bot

allowing a quantity of rock and dirt
to fall in on the man. Stoney called
to his partner, who still could talk,
and said he would go for a doctor at

LITTLE CHILD BROWNS
IN WELL AT WALKER

Missing from his home for only ten
minutes, little Albert Wesley Culp,
two-and- a-haf- -year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. A. Culp of Walker, was
found drowned in a 20-foot well near
the Culp house at noon Sunday.
The child had been playing around
the house for some time, the father
said next day, but had been within
his mothers sight until just about
11:40 o'clock. When she missed the
little boy, the parents thought he only
had wandered away from the house
and were not worried unduly. Z
A premonition, however, drew the
father to the edge of the well, and he
discovered the little body. The child
was dead when his body was brought
to the surface by the frantic father
and no physician was called. Coroner
Gordon Clark was called and pro-
nounced the death to be accidental.
The we'll was an old one, Mr.. Culp
said, and the water had risen to the
top.

Charles Roe and Fred Sturzenegger
were seriously injured Friday morn

caps exploded in camp fire at the
Sturzenegger camp near Francis

it is thought that Roe will lose the

The caps were thrown into the fire
together with some old powder while
the two men were cleaning up the
camp.
AS the camp is more or less iso-
lated, the injured men were not found
until evening and suffered much from
want of care. After arriving at the
Mohave hospital, Roe was rushed to a
hospital at Los Angeles to receive the
services of an eye specialist.

Let us once again admonish the boosting" enthusiasts that overboosting is just about as bad as no boosting at all. There is hardly a doubt that one of the principal reasons why the camp does not go ahead as it should is that we have talked too much Thigh grade" and produced too little of that valuable commodity. The printed records of the camps development disclose that strikes of Thigh grade" have been chronicled to the world ad minimum for years back. According to the allegat- ions, high grade discoveries have been made on some prop critics every year for the past four or five years. Yet not one

The visit of the Ketchikan

The visit of the Ketchikan business men, although marr- ed to some extent by bad weather and the necessity for an early return to Ketchikan, was nevertheless a most agree able and doubtless a proflt- able event for all concerned and should prove of benefit to both communities.
 Contrary to local desires the visitors did not get to see a great deal of the country or become cognizant of more than a relatively small part of what is actually going on; but what thoy did sec should be convincing evidence that the camp is one in which the Ketchikan investor can take an active interest with every prospect of profitable returns from either mining or busi- ness. Hyder in turn has learned th:.t the business people of Ketchikan are sln- cerely interested in the future of this camp and are keenly desirous of assisting it to reach the ultimate of develop ment.
 A most gratifying feature of the visit was that the visitors were unanimous in expressing pleasure at the cordial recepl- ion given them and the many courtesies extended during their stay. The establishment of friendly ties between the residents of the two communi- ties by personal contact is one of the most pleasing results of the visit and will go a long way toward the perpetuation of cordial relations between the two towns in the future.

of them has shipped pouno of ore to the smelter for other than testing purposes. We who know the country and it's possi- bilities realize that at least a majority of these strikes were bona-fide-that there is hard ly a property in the district that does not contain some high grade ore and that high grade concentration exists in almost every important min- eral showing so far discovered. This being true there is ample reason for numerous strikes c1 so called high grade ores.
 However, let ue eonsider the matter from the stand point ot the man back east on the look out for profitable mining in- vestments. He reads year after year news stories detailing the discovery of Thigh grade on this or that property, but looks in vain during the samt interval for evidences that said properties have become productive. At length, after having this experience repeat ed with respect to a half doz- en or more properties, he nat urally concludes that most ii not all of the Thigh grade" stories are pure "bunk." Hav- ing no comprehensive under standing of the local situation, he considers only the one fact that district so prolific in discoveries of rich ore should certainly yield some ore pro- duction on a commercial scale. Failing to find substantial evil dence that such is the case, he IS forced to the conviction that a district in which alleged rich strikes yield no more con- crete returns than more dis coveries of the same evanes- cent character, is good one 70 stay away from. This fam boyant detailing of high grade
 strikes and big assays without he occasional substantiation )f a showing of smelter re- turns to back them up has
 low gone on so long that it has become the poorest quail ,ty of advertising. Far better Cor the district and ourselves that we forego the thigh grade" talk and tell the world more about the vast dissemi- nation of ores that are not high grade in the bonanza sense but still rich enough to pay splendid returns for devel- opment. That is the character
