Mohave County miner., 1899-08-26

The famous Harqua Hala mine has
been disposed of to A. q. Hubbard, of
Pasadena. At the sale advertised to
take place in Yuma only 5,OO0s was bid
and the auctioneer withdrew it. Hub
bard made an offer which was later &C
cepted. 1t is the intention of the new
owner to open the mine up and the be-
lief is current that an ore body exists
near the old one worked out by the
company. The nine has been worked
IN crude way under the English
management.

That Chloride Committee,

AT the late celebration in Chloride 5
committee was appointed by the citi
zens of the big lead camp to look afte,
the comfort of guests and prepare 6
program of sports and amusements
The committee was composed of j. P
Finegan, c. NJ. Hart, Fred Kellogg. NJ
Is. johnson and A. Nj. McDutfee
Every one of this committee fulfilled
his duties to the letter. Especially
noticeable was the work of j. p. Fine
gan and Mark johnson. They never
seemed to tire, and Kingman people
owe them debt of gratitude for the
many favors extended during the two
days celebration and Chloride people
should not forget them in future.
Last Sunday night as the east bound
passenger train was pulling out from
hingman station a woman was seen to
throw herself across the rails in front
OF the engine. The train had not at
tanned any speed and was stopped
within foot or two of the woman and
she was taken from the track to the
depot, where she remained in a hys-
terical condition for some time. DR..
t.aly was called and ministered to the
woman, after which she was placed in
the cell in the county jailer's office
The next morning when interrogated
she said hername was Marie Paltrinicre
and belonged to the Lambardi Italian
Grand Opera Company; that she had
been drugged by Pullman porter and
robbed of 35 in cash and several dia-
mond rings. The woman could not
speak word of English and had to
converse through an interpreter. Mon
day the manager sent member of the
company to bring her on to Albuauer
que, where they were billed for We'd
nesday night. The porter is under
arrest in Albuquerque.

there the game will be played in the even

The outing committee. which consists
of Messrs. Beekman, chairman; lie Mat
Craighill, Shepherd, and HOlton. held A
meeting on Thursday evening and mapped
out a skeleton outline of the seasons 8
campaign on the wing, both by land by
water.
The principal outing fixed upon is the
encampment Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association Cadets. which will begin
July Is or 20 and will be held at Harper's
Ferry near the Hotel Shenandoah and
will last about two weeks. Colonel Beck
man and Captain f. F. Skinner are work
ing up the details and they promise. with
the aid of their lieutenants to be appoint
ed next week, to make the camp military
one in every respect The cadets will be
given practice in the way of drills, ex-
tended order, skirmishes. guard mount
and picket duty.
Accommodations for members who are
not cadets will be provided in camp, and
for parents and friends of cadets who do
not care to lead a camp life board and
lodging may be had in comfortable house
at the edge of the camp grounds. The
prospects are that a very large number of
the members and their relatives and
friends will take advantage OF the attrac-
tions offered by this novel outing.
Another outing will be arranged for those
who prefer TO spend their vacation on the
water, and for them a schooner will be
secured and two weeks will be spent cruis-
ing down the river, stopping off at such
times and places as the company desires
