The Home Talent Dramatic Club

Last Saturday night crowded house
gathered to witness the performance
given by the Kingman Komedy Kom-
pany and enthusiastically encored
nearly every number on the program.
The musical portion of the entertain
ment was well rendered and showed
careful preparation on the part of those
who assis ed in the singing and instru-
mental recitals as we'll as those who
selected and arranged the numbers. A
feature of the evening was re citation
by little Gertrude Potts that brought
down the house. The presentation of
the Flying Wedge was a decided hit
and proved all the characte : amaturss
of more than ordinary histronic talent.
Taken altogether the entertainment was
well received by the public and reflects
great credit OF all who had the affair in
charge. On behalf of the troupe the
MINER is asked to thank the Kingman
people and others who literally helped
to make the affair a success by their
presence and patronage.

One of the best of the late discover.
les in Mohave county is that recently
made by j. W. Gerritt and Robert Kier
on the east slope of the Wallapai
mountains. The vein runs in width
from five to fifteen feet, carrying values
of five dollars gold, forty ounces silver
and fifty per cent lead to the ton.
Three claims have been located on the
lead and all show ore. Carbonate of
lead where exposed shows up black
and irony, but on breaking the car
Donate shows up white and clean. Two
shafts have been sunk on the vein, one
thirty feet and the other forty feet in
depth.

kingman ball tossers crossed hat :
with the Chloride team last Sunday On
The Chloride grounds. The ground
was soft and in consequence the game
was slow. Kingman outplayed the
Chlorlders at all points. In the last of
The ninth inning the score stood 10 TO
. In favor of ingman with Chloride at
1he bat. On forced run one of the
runners was thrown out at the plate
and the ball returned to third. AL
lhough the runner to third was clearly
out the umpire for Chloride refused to
allow it and the play went on. In the
wrapgle over the decision Kingman's
second baseman obtained the ball and
returned to his bag and caught the base
runner about ten feet off the second
Dag. The out was so fragrant the um-
pre- was compelled to call him out,
Ihe same thing occurred few minutes
after on first base. The umpire said
he thought that time had been called.
but the other umpire declared the game
was still on, and the Chloride umpire
declared the base runner safe. King
man players then left the field and the
game was given to Chloride. As King
man was the visiting team the boys
should have been treated with a greater
degree of courtesy. There was nothing
at stake and neither the Chloride team
nor the umpire gained anything by the
rank decision.
