Event of a Week at the Capital of
 nohave.

or The Republlcan.)- Something unusual in weather matters was ushered in with the new month. The temperature took a sudden and quite a long fall and in some of the public resorts fires were built and kept up Saturday night and Sunday. This was accompanied by severe wind from the gulf coast and while it did no great damage to life or property, it was nevertheless cool and disagreeable. Ice was found Sunday morning at the home of James Teeters, and hobos stealing rides on freight trains sui fered great deal in the freezing night air.
 Thirty-five employees are now en- gagged on the ditch for the pipe line for the Santa Fe company and half as many more in other work in connec- tion with 1t. Their camp, mile west of town, presents a busy appearance and they have their own cooking and eating outfit beside wedge" and wall tents for the men to sleep in. From source: to finish the water will be con. veyed six miles and as the piping is
 five inches, with an abundance. of water in the reservoir, an ample sup ply of water at the new town of Han cock is assured. This is the point from whence the railroad Is now being sur veyed will run, with its terminus somewhere on the Colorado river, but at exactly at what point it is not as yet determined. The site of the new town stands well towards the center of the Sacramento valley, which is cut off a few miles further west by the Wallarai Of m fuin hv,% ly course runs to Chloride and a little beyond. The work of building a rail- road can be cheaply done over this part of the route, but beyond Chloride the hill and mountain country ensues and much cutting, filling and tunnel ing will have to be resorted to. Both sides Of this beautiful valley are paral- Tel with ranges of gold and silver, on thsl south being the Chihuahuas, and on the north the Cerbat mountains. The railroad will open up these two great unprospected territories with water and supplies and create new mines and mining districts Sacra- mento valley is susceptible to fine farming and fruit country and inex- haustible supplies of water can be had at shallow depth.
 Large consignmenits of ores from the mines north of this city continue to arrive by wagon daily Of the mines producing these ores, the Tennessee at Chloride is the heaviest, followed by the Merrimac, Paysall, Elkhart. etc.
 The old Wallapai mountains, fifteen miles east, which loom up SO silently and grandly in plain view, are likely to attract more than ordinary attention as mining district at no distant day. Thomas Tyrell arrived from there Sun day night and tells of some wonder fully rich ores which ha has been en- gagged in developing the past two months. The ore Is both gold and silver and there are now three and a half tons on the dump which will be brought to the sampler here for treat ment. It will be with considerable difficulty that the ore will be brought in, as nine miles of the route will be over a burro trail, when it will req ch tLa foot of the mountain ana From thence by wagon. It was Mir. Tyrell' S business in to get wagons and pack animals, and this accomplished he will return for the ore. There is also a large quantity of low grade ore ex- traced which will be sent to Barstow, Cal, for reduction. This is the only mining known of in the Wallapais, and in the event that all things turn out satisfactory with the present test, others will go and locate and de- velop claims.
 Frank L.. Barnes is back from Poncho Springs, Colo, where he went the past spring to collect $20, 1000 when due on $40,00O mining sale made n that state the past year. MT. Barnes is largely interested in placer and quartz claims north Of here on the Colorado river, the work of which in mines at that section is attracting a great deal Of money and attention. MT. Barnes is interested with MT. Charles M. Met calf of this city and others in this property and ekey are now taking the initial steps to develop it. The banks of the Colorado are being located fast.
 Druggist H. H. Watkins is absent from the city this week while making a business trip to Albuquerque, N M. and Denver, Colo.
 MT. Abe Lefever is the choice of the people Of Mohave county to succeed himself as recorder.
