EDITOR MINER:
Semi-occasional blasts from this heated
locality are a. much pr,bably as the
readers Of the MiSER can stand, and il 10
this consideration which has caused a
cessation Of hostilitiss" on the part Of
your Needles correspondent. The gossip
ing spirit has again pervaded his being
however, and he infiicts himself once
more. He is full 10 overdowing and must
gossip some.
Amos NJ. Beal, the Superintendent, and
leader of happy life Of single blessed
ness, Is no more. He Departed this life
20 far as we can learn, about the 9th or
10th but as the event occurred In San
Francisco, the particulars are yet want
ing. He leaves host Of mourning bach
elor friends, who, while they envy him
his happy lot, will all try to make the re-
turn Of Amos M. Beal, the Benedict, an
event long to be remembered. Who the
fortunate lady is, remains to be learned,
but with his usual good Judgment II 10
positive that she Is pretty, arniable and
accomplished. One thing is certain, the
good lady has husband Of whom she
may well feel proud, for better man
ever trod the hurricane roof Of r. r..
superintendents special car than our
Amos M. Beal.
Needles is running over with China
men, quite q number Of them came from
Kingman. This causes no credence in
the report however that they have been
burnt out Of territory where they souid
not vote and sent into state where they
could, 10 vote for. Harrison and Morton,
II is sized up as campaign lie. Ofeourse
it is.
Speaking Of Cinnamon and HARRISON
and Morton, calls to mind the colored
waiter at Harvey's Hotel. This festive
singer OF imported hash and cyclone cat
tie, attempted to carve up one Of Mr.. Har-
rison's almond-eyed constituents the
other day. The Chinaman said 1t was all
in fun, but an old sun-burnt campsigner
says it waa result Of a political argu-
ment between the two gentleman Of light
er and darker hues. One thing is beyond
cavii, the Celestial son OF Confucius has
an ugly wound on the wrist from which
he lost about gallon Of blood, and which
has caused him to seek the retirement oi
the Needles Hospital while repairs are
being instituted.
What pity Kingman could not have
had our new switch engine at the late
fire. Through the thoughtfulness and en-.
terprising genius Of our young Master
Mechanic, Mr.. Hancock. This engine
has been provided with pump and hose,
and now when FIRE occurs the engine Ia
run opposite the burning building and the
hose turned on. The stream is very
strong and will afford protection not only
to the company's property, but also To
the buildings of those merchants doing
business On the front street.
The gal-orious Fourth passedof nicely
here. There were no spread-eagle ora
tions but we had two or three OF the most
patriotic bare-knuckle set tos OF the sea-
son. At night Messrs. Monaghan and
Murphy "turned loose" some beautiful
fireworks and some Of the enthused des-
cendants Of the Star Spangied Banner
burnt up a crazy Mexican's brush wig
wan. Oh! it was nice and quiet, here
but then it was splendid. ......
The barefaced unblushing assertion
now 80 frequently made on excursion
trains going west, that the thermometer
registers 1909 at midnight in the Needles
ice house, is another campaign lie that
We want nailed to the cross. Those trav-
cling encyclopedias Of geographical and
meteorological learning yclept "brakses"
will please take warning, while it may
not be amiss for the modern Chesterfelds
who conduct Mr. Pullman's palace car
affairs to draw in their horns and cast of
their capacious reservoirs Of gall. We
can stand things within the limits Of rea-
son, but when they try to make 1t hotter
here than the republican convention at
Chicago, or half as hot az Greed Hay
mond was when Blaine lost the nomina.
ton, then we greatly demur. There is
reason in all things.
Please stop the ponderous power press
and unlock the forms to announce that
the steamer Mohavs, Captain Isaac Pol
hemus commanding, has arrived and
made trip to FL Dorado Canyon.
