The Water Question &.

During the past two summers the water
supply of Kingman has been inadequate
to the demand and our citizens have been
greatly annoyed over the Inconvenience.
The present source OF supply in Oak
Creek Canyon is too small for the de-
rnand and all efforts to develop greater
supply have not succeeded in increasing
it in proportion TO the demand. Many Of
our citizens have thought that since the
strike OF water by J. III. Cofer, last year,
at the depth OF ninety feet, in the wash
in the south part OF town, that water in
sufficient quantities could be obtained by
sinking well in the same wash little
further west and this week the talk has
eliminated in the organization oi mum
Der Of our citizens for the purpose Of sink
ing well to the depth Of one hundred
feet, and deeper i necessary, TO deter
mine whether water in such quantities
az is desired can be found. II successful
a company will be organized and reser-
yoir will be built on the hill above the
well, to which the water will be raised
and by pipes carried all over town.
That the plan is feasible and that an
abundant supply Of water will be found,
is not doubted by any of the projectors Of
the scheme. That water exists in this
wash is proven by the Golfer well above
and the railroad well below town and
both wells furnish an abundant supply Of
as good water as can be found anywhere.
That the plan to prospect for water in the
proposed place has not been put in execu-
cution before excites the comment OF
many. The work OF the development Of
water in this section should be encouraged
by all our citizens.

Signal Notes.

SIGNAL, Sept. 25, 1888.
The town looks dull since the mill shut
down, still every one has hopes that it
may start up again before many days. 1t
is pity to see 2O-stamp mill and 10
stamp mill nearly along side OF each other
lying idle with.plenty Of good paying ore
in both the mines, to-wit; the celebrated
McCracken mine and the Big Sandy mine,
which are known to be the largest mines
in the territory. Though low grade they
have always paid big profits to their
owners, especially the Big Sandy mine
which was bought only little over a
year ago from Mr.. Hugo Richards, Of
Prescott, and Kimble Bros. Of Signal by
the Big Sandy Mill & Mining Co. and
under the supervision Of Mr.. James Fin
hey this mill and mine ran steadily for
over one year, at an average of about 27
tons per day.
Mr.. Sam. A. Butler arrived by yester-
days stage.
Mrs. and Miss Cornell arrived yesterday
from their ranch on the sandy and are the
guests OF Mrs. Brooks.
J.P. Cullen and X. Coulter left yester-
day for the Centennial mines with Mr..
Bill Baer as guide and driver.
James Bayard arrived from Cedar val.
ley and reports big strike in the Berk-
ley mine(a fye-foot vein averaging 400
to the ton,) Good for riburcio but
better still for Kingman store keepers.
Our stage driver, Mr.. Chas. Wilson,
with Mr.. John Musser, is going to Cedar
valley to do some work on their valuable
mine and hope that they will strike it
rich.
Mr.. Sam A. Butler is taking hold Of the
reins this morning, and as he is a careful
driver, passengers need not fear accidents
and by his own say so we know that
never passenger fell asleep while on his
stage.
Our hunters are now doing well, bring
ing in game every day, and they say that
Johnny Meyers, Frank Fitzsimmors, Fl.
Koshland and Johnny Musser are the
bosses.
