Works at this place completed
their seasons work, the big whis-
tie gave a long blast, the machine
nv ceased to turn and the men
quit their places, because the sup
ply of raw material--cotton seed
was exhausted.
As is customary, on the closing
day, Mr.. F. Rousseau the father
of this great institution always
provide refreshments for his en-
ployees before they leave, and
when they were all gathered in
the Office to get their pay and par
take of the refreshments, DIR. Ar
thur Guilbeau, of Breaux Bridge,
made a pretty little address in be-
half of the employees, and in their
name presented to Mr.. +. Rousseau
a pretty gold headed cane, which
was bought by them, by contri-
button made by them weekly for
that purpose. On the head of the
cane is the inscription "F. Rous-
seau" and on the end of the head
with compliments of the employ
ees of the st. Martins Oil Works.
Mr.. Rousseau was taken by sur
prise and was so overcome by this
mark of esteem of his employees
that he could not utter a word;
but nothing could have been more
pleasing to him than this souvenir
from those who work under him,
as it showed him that he had their
esteem, and this is the greatest
pleasure and satisfaction to him.
Mr.. RousseOu is the father. the
creator of these great Oil Works,
he has built it piece by piece I'M
til today he stands. at the head of
the greatest institution of this
kind in the state, few people even
in this town have any idea of the
vastness of the st. Martins Oil
Works. Three ginries with the
most approved machinery, three
oil presses, meal mills, a battery
of five of the finest boilers, refin-
ing tanks with complete oil ref
merry, soap factory making ordina-
nv and passed soaps. The large
lots of the Oil Works are covered
by several large buildings, work
shops, store rooms, having its own
water works and electric light
plants, its own box factory, and
many others which we cannot men,
ton. 1t is in fact, one of the
greatest concerns of its kind, and
MIR. Rousseau may well feel proud
of the success of this great indus
try built by him, for it shows in
dustry and energy, and all this
coupled with the good will and
esteem of his employees as testi-
fed to him Tuesday, is enough to
make any man feel proud.

Bill Williams track walker for the

off freight train in the lower end Of the
Ksngman yard, Wednesday evening, and

to stagger and fall to the ground 10 ft.
Mart Braffitt and Sheriff Cohenour did
all they could for the unfortunate man
until the arrival Of DR.. Cowie, but he was
too far gone and died in a few minutes.
Williams had been hard drlnker and had
been on a spree at Yucca. He had a
bottle OF whisky to taper" off on, but
some one stole it, and it is thought he
came to Kingman for more. A coroner's
jnry returned verdict that deceased

The Board of Supervisors placed the
levy for the county at 1855 on the 1905
OF valuation, at the meeting Tuesday. In
Ringman the rate is 3.10$ on the 1908,
fifteen cents lower than last year. This
is the lowest levy ever made in Mohave
county, aud Is great showing for our
present Board Of Supervisors. With
good railroad assessment next year, there
Is no reason why the rate should exceed
2.25s on the 1905. In Cochise county the
levy is 4 20$.

An authority on Arizona copper mines
says that the production in the Terrific.
ry this year will increase fully 50 per cent.
IL increased 25 per cent in 1897. The
United Verde mine. owned by W A.
Clark, has monthly output Of 5000 900
pounds and is probably the largest pro-
ducer In Arizona, but there are other
mines that produce 1000, 900 pounds per
month. The Fortuna mine IN Yuma is
opened to depth Of 600 feet, an evidence
that lodes in Arizona go down. The
mine is steady producer, the monthly
output OF gold being from SAC, 900 to $50.
900. The Copper Queen Co. are erecting
another large ore bin. The old bins were
sufficient for the amount OF ore hoisted.
A new furnace has arrived to take the
place of the last small one. The com.
pany are increasing their output, which
is said to be over 1000, 900 pounds per
month. Owners Of the Marcus mine,
near Stanton, will soon commence work.

appointed for the purpose appeared be
fore the board OF supervisors and ex,
planned the necessity for the repair of the
Coyote Hill road. After discussing the
matter the board agreed to increase the
tax levy for road purposes and In the

over the mountain in a satisfactory con-
dihon. Tuesday evening Supervisors
Crozier aud linus viewed the road and
Wednesday they took with them several
gentlemen who have built considerable
road in this county, and after taking ell.
evasions and measurements they conclnd.
ed to make an entirely new road over q
part of the hill. Accordingly the board
are advertising for proposals for building
about one thousand Eve hundred feet Of
new road. This piece OF road will be
run about a quarter OF mile south Of
the old bridge over the ravine and will
be an easy grade to the summit, and at
the same time obviate the building OF q
bridge. The board Of supervisors have
taken the matter mp in earnest and will
soon have the road ready for travel. 10
the board, and especially to Super
visors linus and Crozier, are the thanks
of the people north OF the railroad due
for the prompt action in the matter and
especially laying out the new road under
tropical summer SUM- That the road
matter will now be settled at once We are
satisfied and our people should literally
aid the board in the matter Of grading
out the approaches to the new road on
the hill.
