The high wind and rain this week is
unaccountable at this season. Many
of the Northern Arizona towns have
suffered severely from the storm.
Next Monday the October term of
the district court will convene in the
courthouse promptly at 10 o'clock. A
grand jury will be empaneled and it is
expected that considerable criminal
business will result.
Major w. A. Mensch, the hustling
secretary of Chloride's Mining Ex-
change, was in kingman on business
Thursday last. He reports the letting
of contracts for the erection of the new
Mining Exchange building, in the big
lead camp, to John McGregor.
Mrs J. Brisack and daughter, Mrs.
S. Eals, of Walton, n. Y, were among
the list of arrivals who alighted from
the west bound passenger Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs. Brisack is a sister of
VIM. G. Blakely, and is here for the
benefit of her daughters health. The
ladies are stopping at the residence of
Judge Blakely.
The kingman telephone company
has obtained control of the White Hills
telephone line and are now prepared to
do business. The rates are low and
the service is excellent. Connection
has been made with the town of Chic
ride. Tarr & McComb, who are the
owners of the Kingman telephone line,
have moved their central office to Mr..
Tarr's dwelling house on Oak street.
A very pleasant impromptu surprise
party was given at the NJ. f. church to
Rev. /. G. Sigler, welcoming his return
to the ingman pastorate for another
year. 1t was also quite a surprise to
number of the choir and orchestra,
who would like to have had more prep
aration for the occasion and a more
elaborate musical program than was
rendered. However, the evening exer-
cises were all that they should have
been, considering, and the minister in
a few well chosen words thanked those
who had the affair in charge for their
kindly expression of good will.
The Arizona & Utah railway on Fri
day shipped large piano to resident
of Overton, Nevada. This means a
wagon haul of a little over 100 miles
from the present end of the track at
Chloride. Shipments like this give an
idea of the position Kingman is assum-
ing as distributing point. Since the
opening of the railroad the trade with
residents in the Virgin and Muddy
valleys is steadily increasing and fur
ther extension of the road to White
Hills would transfer to this region
practically all the traffic which now
comes down from northern Utah.
Regular stages now connect with the
trains at Chloride and run six days a
week to White Hills. From that point
there are two stages week northward
to Rioville, st. Thomas, Overton, st
George and the southern settlements
in Utah, and three westward to FL Do
RADIO Canyon and other mining camps
on the Colorado.
