Evidence that Weepah, new gold

While 200 persons looked on, an
Oakland newspaper reporter, guided
by Frank Horton, owner of Weepah's
principal claim, dug his fist into the
earth and pulled out as much rocky
soil as his hand could hold. A San
Francisco newspaper man crushed it
and it was panned by Horton. 1t pro-
duced two tablespoonfuls of gold.
Thirteen ore sacks filled as the re-
suit of leisure picking on the claim
stood nearby. Each contained about
80 pounds of ore. Horton said each
sack would produce $500 worth of
gold.

HUNTER DEED TO INDIAN
LAND is HELD NOT VALID

The supreme court of the United
States had adjudged invalid a deed
purporting to have been given by
Luis, captain of the village of Santa
Rosa in Pima county, so miles west
of Tucson. An undivided half inter-
est in 720 square miles of land is in
volved. A report on the case was
sent here by U. S. Senator Carl Hay
den.
The contention Of the court is that
Luis was without authority to exe-
cute the deed. The deed was not re-
corded until "a years after it was ex-
ecuted. The deed was drawn in 1880
and conveyed to man named Hunter
an interest in the lands.

Lloyd Henning Made Governor of
Rotary for Forty Third District

The name of Lloyd Henning of Hol-
brook, member of the smallest club, in
point of numbers, within the forty
third Rotary district, will be recon-
mended to the eighteenth convention
of Rotary International at Ostend,
Belgium, in June, for the district
governorship OF this district.
He became the districts nominee

over Frederic Shaffer of Globe in what
Governor Monte Butler described as
one of the closest ballots ever cast for
the office.
His nomination, announced as the
final business of the third annual dis
trict conference, at Mesa, practically
highest honor that can be bestowed
said. His formal election by Rotary
international in June is simply d for
mality, it was explained.
Balloting on the two candidates
followed their appearance as speakers
on the morning program. Twenty-six
officially credited delegates voted
during the one and one-half hour
period allotted to the purpose.
The good will of Rotary was made
manifest when Fred Shaffer, the de-
feated candidate, moved that Mr.. Hen
ning's nomination be made unanimous
A rising vote of accredited delegates
was called for by the chair and as a
result the 26 ballots were solidly for
the Holbrook man. Victor and loser
stood with clasped hands as this for
mality was being enacted.
Prescott RotarianS were the only
ones to enter their bid for the 1928
district convention at the concluding
business session. NJ. r. Hazeltine told
the delegates that the Prescott club
would strive valiantly to prepare a
program in keeping with the standard
provided by the Mesa club. Final Sc
lection of a conference city next year
will be made at the presidents and
secretaries meeting I'M the fall, ac-
cording to Rotary custom, and other
clubs of the district will be permitted
to enter for the meeting at that time.
Resumes of round table confer
ences, held Thursday afternoon, the
awarding of convention and district
attendance trophies, adoption OF reso-
lutions and an address by Edward
Flynn, International director, were
other features of the final session in
the Nile theater.
The conference trophy was awarded
to the Flagstaff club. Second place
was accorded to the Holbrook club
Phoenix drew third place and Tucson
was fourth.
In the district attendance contest,
the Tempe and Glendale clubs were
tied for first place with perfect rec
ords and each was awarded a copper
bell, topped by the Rotary emblem
The Rotary archer and gavel went to
the Glendale club.
Outstanding among the resolutions
unanimously adopted by the delegates
was convention measure placing the
forty-third district on record as op-
posed to the proposed change in at
tendance rules. The convention had
been advised that a resolution will be
presented TO the Ostend convention
asking that the monthly attendance
reports of district governors and the
attendance contests between districts
be eliminated.

It is noted for its iron foundries. machine shops, and chemical works. The city has peasant residential sections and | ducal palace dating from the four tcenth century. It was residence here that gave the rulers 10 this region the title of Landgraves of Hesse-D -Darmstadt to distinguish them from their Heighbors the Landeraves of Hcssc- -Cassel who lived in the city of Cassel further to the north. It was from Cassel that Hessian mcrccnarios departed for America in Revolutionary times.
