SATURDAY, ANGUST 2, 1919. THE MOHAVE COUNTY MINER AND OUR MINERAL WEALTH, PAGE FIT! r y- A t J OLD ENGLISH LAWS HELP DETERMINE A 1G OUESTIO The . .-.-I!)!! of whether a resident of the state of Arizona has a right to hunt and kill game on an Indian reservation in defiance of the laws of the state, was settled hundreds of years ago by the common law of England, according to an opinion given out recently by Assistant At torney General F. J. K. McBride. At least, if the question was not settled, fin opening was left for. the present day settlement of a very vexing ques tion to Arizona hunters. According to Mr. McBride, the "practice of the government of Eng land, from the earliest times to the present, has been to exercise the au thority to control and regulate the taking of game. This power, vested in the colonial governments and from them passed to the original states, re maining in them to the present day." The fact that Indian reservations are under the control of the federal government leads Mr. McBride to be lieve and to rule that only Indians have the right to hunt on them, and that white men have no right whatso ever td seek and kill game out of season. If they do so, even in season, it is necessary for them to secure a special permission from the federal authorities. In support of this, the opinion says, "A breach of the game laws is a vio lation of the rights of the state to con trol and regulate the taking of game within its territorial limits. Hence no man who is not an Indian maintaining tribal relations and occupying a res ervation, can hunt or take game with in the limits of an Indian reservation isvithout having a license from the (state. It might be well to state in this connection that the United States is the .proprietor of the Hand within the reservation, and as such proprie tor, the consent of the United States must be given in addition to a state license before one has the right to hunt and fish within the reservation. The opinion was written at the re quest of State Game Warden Joe V. Prochaska, and brings in an interest ing sidelight as to 'the ownership of the carcass of an animal killed ille gally or out of season on a reserva tion. McBride states thS the ownership Vests in the state, and as Prochaska "is the custodian of all game in 'Ari zona, it belongs t4 him and it is up to him to dispose of it, except that he -cannot do so as to deprive the state f its use and benefit. Outside of that it fs going to be perfectly easy for Prochaska to take care of all carcasses found killed illegially. How is he goin to dispose of the carcasses so as to gain some use or benefit from them for the state is a knotty problem which it will probably take the rest of the summer to solve,' and will prob ably call for another opinion from the state's legal department, according to local hunters who are in the habit of disposing of carcasses to their own bcnifit. 0 Her Esthetic Sense "What kind of woman is Mr3.

NOTICE TO TAX PAYERS The Board of Supervisors of Mo have County, State of Arizona, will tmeet at the Court House at Kingman on Monday the 11th day of August 1919, when and where any tax payer who may appear, shall be heard in favor or against any proposed tax levies. ' r J. S. WITHERS , Clerk of the Board of Supervisors ' 2-Insertions MEXICAN GIRL DISGUISES AS YAQUI TO WED NEGRO Determined to thwart the law whch prohibits the marrage of negroes and Caucasians in this state, Maria Louisa Garcia, a comley Mexican girl of No gales, Sonora, appeared at the office of County Clerk Bobb'Lee the other day, her face covered with shoe black ing in an attempt to deceive the Clerk into believing thatishe was a Yaqui in order that a license might be obtained ftp marry her sweetheart, who is a negro. The attempt of the girl to conceal her identity was unsuccessful as the blacking was rubbed on in lumps, even her dusky lover grining broadly when County Clerk Lee commented on the make-up. A short time ago the girl appeared at the County Clerk's office and was told that she could not marry a negro because the law prohibited the marry ing of Mexicans and Negroes. Un daunted she again appeared, after making up for the "first act" but was caught with the goods. THE WAR AND HEALTH The draft of the American army took men at the age of greatest strength. Yet disease and other phy sical defects caused the rejection of over 30 of the men examined for the army. Almost all of this weakness was due to sickness or abuse of the health that might have been prevent ed. In almost all cases, failure to ac quire good health habits in childhood was responsible. It is responsible from this that re construction of our health ideas and habits must come with reconstruction of the world during peace. America and the Allies still have a tremendous task to complete their victory. We must make good on opportunities aris ing from the war or first disclosed by the war and continued after peace. To do this, the -utmost efficiency of health must be built up and main tained. The quality of health of the workers of the future depends on health habits taught the children of today. In the ultimate analysis, the victory depends no more on $he gains of the battlefields than it doej on the quality of the men and women who shall carry on the work of the nation after conflict has ceased. In Arizona, as elsewhere through out the United iStates, the Modern Health Crusader movement is being introduced into the schools and homes 'to teach the children habits of health and personal hygiene. Do you know what this movement is? If not. the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Association will tell you. S DRAFT HORSES TO EUROPE WAR LOAN ORGANIZATION FORMED FROM ALL WAR Two hundred head of horses left the Chicago market July 1st for Bel gium via Havre, France, the port of Antwerp being not yet available. Ar rangements have already been made despite high ocean rates for the ship ment each week from Chicago of 400 to 500 head of draft horses to Europe. These horses ranged from 15.3 to 16.3 hands in height, weighed from 1500 to 1800 pounds and brought on the Chicago market from $225 to $K00.

Soft Traveling "Somewhere id Mexico" $12,000 in gold bullion is buried, its whereabouts only known to J. A. Mathis, formerly -a miner of Plumas County, California, and two companions who aided in se creting it. Mathis recently arrived hme after an .absence of two years. He is going back to find the gold Vhich was buried because the men valued their lives more than the pre cious ore, the weight of which im peded their progress when chased by Mexican bandits. Describing the fight Mathis said: "Two of us slept, while the third stood guard. Before daylight the guard awakened us to hear hoofbeats of approashing horses. Soon three horsemen rode through the chaparril kind we could distinguish thej high pointed hats of the bandits. We wast ed no time in challenging, but imme diately opened fire. Two of the men f fell from their horses. The third tried ,to escape, but he tumbled headlong before he had gone far. "We tried tat catch the horses but without success. So, after stripping 4he bodies of all 'arms and ammuni tion we started again for the coast." Bacon Wouldn't you like to see the battlefields in Europe? Egbert Oh, I've seen 'em.

LIVESTOCK AND RANGES IN ARIZONA PHOENIX, July 24 Moderate to heavv downpours of rain have occured iover the range district continuing a vbenifit in all sections. It will be noted that such conditions previal in even the extreme portions of the grazing area. Seligman in the west and No vates and Douglas in the south report both range and stock in good con dition. The inference' from reports of cor respondents is that the condition of both stock and ranges at this season s betted than in years past. In a dumber of places present conditions assure an abundance of grass and water for months to come. All cor respondents without exception 'report the range as improving. Crops in dryland sections have made Remarkable progress. Oats, beans fcpring wheat, sorgums, potatoes, and hll forage crops are generally in good condition. Oats for hay is stooling out unusually well, owing to the damp tveather, and is already making a beavy crop. The rains have not been particularly advantageous to cotton in irrigation sections of the state as there is a tendancy to too much plant krowth and Johnson grass has become Ktroublesome in. some of the fields No shedding has occured as yet.

Chicago, Illinois, is conducting a campaign which bjds fair to determine which is the best month for babies. Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, vice-chairman of The Fatherless Children of France, and in charge of a national campaign to secure American aid to the extent of 10 cents a day for one year for 60,000 little French war waifs, issued an appeal for birthday donations of $3.00 to care for a child during the donor's birthday month. The returns disclosed 'that it is al most impossible to unearth a July birthday. A group of children of Lake Forest families Lake Forest being the wealthiest suburb of Chi cago undertook to form an adoption group of the twelve calendar months. January, February, March, and all the other birthdays were easy to find, but no July child has yet been discovered and the local papers are advertising for July children. What's the matter with July? To adop't a fatherless little French war waif, which means to act as its American godmother or godfather while it remains with its own mother in France or to make a birthday donation, write to Mrs. Walter S. Brewster, Room 635, 410 S. Michigan" Ave., Chicago. Every cent donated goes direct to the child. The small expenses of the work are paid by in terested friends.
