HAYDEN SECURES PENSIONS
FOR INDIANS

Washington-After much diff.

actment of legislation granting
pensions of 500 per month to the
surviving members of Company

fantry, who we're enlisted Au-
gust "a, 1865. for service against
the Apaches, and who were
honorably discharged on Sep
tember II, 1866. These old men
are all Maricopa Indians resid.
ing on the reservation near the
junction of the Salt and ella
Rivers. Their names are Choor
Aquisse or Cheroquis, Machie
Gulack or Pantaloon, Wanat
Shoma or Ramon White. MoUsh
or Mosak and Oh Wan or Katok.
The act of congress also grants
pension to Mary Juan, of Lehi,
widow of Coche Aar or Pigtail,

The records of the war de.

place of the California Valun-

we're about to expire. Two com.

pi rifles and had poor equipment,
they suffered many hardships
and punished the Apaches most
severely. Of their military
value General Mcdowell, the de.
partment commander, said in his
report for 1866:
They we're the most effective
troops for the service in that
country that we have had, and
have done more than all others
together. In fact, it is not too
much TO say that they only with
in the last year have inflicted
any considerable injury on the
hostile Apaches. The regular
troops unused to a different kind
of warfare, unused to the kind
of life necessary to obtain any
results against the Indians in
Arizona, seem to acquire very
slowly the experience necessary
to enable them to be effective for
offensive operations"

BENSON EXPECTS OIL GUSHER.

Benson-Visitors who have in.
spected the operations in the
Benson oil fields have found the
drilling rig eight miles out of
Benson on the Tucson road
steadily driving its steelshaft
down to levels where. it is ex
pected oil may be found. 1t was
stated at the we'll that when
operations were resumed the
drill had reached approximately
500 feet.
The rig is said to be one of
the largest used in the Oklaho.
ma fields.
All equipment is in first class
condition and at the rate the drill
is going down, it should pass
the 1 1000 foot level within the
next week.
Operations are being conduct.

Metcalf, OF Ardmore. Okla. He

in Oklahoma fields and had ex
pressed the opinion that be will
bring in the Benson we'll as a
gusher. 1t is said in Benson
that another crew of drillers is
to be brought from Oklahoma in
the next few weeks and a start
is to be made at another point
near Benson on a second we'll.
1t is understood that the men
promoting the project have right
on 30, 900 acres of land that were
selected by Texas oil operator
as most likely to overlie an Oil
bearing stratum.
The people of Benson are en-
thusiastic over the prospects of
the we'll coming in as a gusher
and business is moving at more
rapid pace as a result, than it
has for many months. Experts
from Texas, Oklahoma and Cali.
fornia have gone over the ground
and all have given their opinion
there is a good probability that
oil will be found.

MAY CHANGE STATE BANK LAW.

Phoenix. J. Cox, senator.
elect from Maricopa county, is
preparing bill which would
completely change the banking
laws of the state. He plans to
submit the bill to the legislature
when it convenes in January.
The measure will provide for
the election of three bank ex-
aminers by popular vote and will
require an examination OF all
state banks and trust companies
four times year. A depositors
guarantee feature will also be
incorporated in the measure.
The tentative plan provided in
the bill calls for the creation Of
a board of three commissioners;
one to be appointed by the gov
ernor; one by the attorney gen.
eral and one by the state audi.
tor. These three commissioners
would then hold examinations
and applicants who passed sue.
cessfully would be entitled to
have their names on the ballot
for election to the position of
examiners.
The candidates would not be
designated by political parties.
The bill also provides for two
other employees of the banking
department. The measure would
req uire four examinations of the
banks year with the examin.
ers alienation so that no bank
would be examined twice in sue
cession by the same man.
The depositors' guarantee pro.
vision has not been fully worked
out as yet by Cox, but will pro.
ably give the banks their choice
of entering with other banks
into the creation of a reserve
fund to protect the depositors or
to have the deposits guaranteed
by bond.
Cox plans to call a convention
of business and banking men
soon after the first of the year
to discuss the measure and get
their suggestions before the bill
is finally drafted for submission
| to the legislature.

WHY DEER DRIVE FAILED.

Flagstaff-The failure of the
Grand Canyon deer drive might
be laid to three causes-inade.
quate preparations, lack of
enough drivers and the total un,
expected refusal of the deer to
herd, Zane Grey, the author, de,
clared in a statement issued last
week.
AS a result of the failure of
George Mccormick and his band
of cowboys and Indians to drive
several thousand deer across the
Grand Canyon the Kaibab forest
has been opened to hunting on
east side and this method will
be used to reduce the enormous
herd which are facing death from
starvation because of lack of for.
age.
Grey gave out a lengthy state.
ment, today over his signature,
telling about the attempt to drive
deer. He said that with 500 In.
dians the drive might have
shown better results but that
when the deer found out that
an attempt was being made to
drive them in a consistant direc.
tion that they stampeded and
ran in every direction and that
the herders could not hold them
together.
There were many dead deer
found. according to Grey, who
said that there was Dractica "
