The Board of Supervisors held
special meeting on Thursday of this
week for the purpose of acting upon
the petition of the residents of Chlor-
ide for permission to incorporate their
town. There being no opposition the
board granted the petition and Chlor-
ide will soon be the only town in Mo-
have county that can produce mayor
or alderman. This paper has on many
occasions for several years past, called
the attention OF our citizens to the
many advantages we would derive
from city government without any
apparent effect, but the citizens OF
Chloride seem to be Of more pro-
gressive character than those OF King
man, judging from the public spirit
they usually display IN anything that
is started in the way of pushing their
town ahead.

Mohave County miner., 1900-03-10

The fact that oil exists in Mohave
county seems to be established beyond
any doubt, and from tests recently
made in Los Angeles it appears that
the oil is of much better quality than
the California product. The discovery
was entirely accidental and was made
on land that had been located and was
being prospected for placer gold. The
find is about fifty miles southernly
from Ringman, in the Chemehuevis
mining district, and in section which
has been known for many years as an
exceedingly rich gold country, there
being many rich quartz claims in the
district, besides placer gold, of which
latter several spots have been found
that yielded as high as l00s per day
for two men with dry washing ma
chine. The oil sand, so greasy that it
adheres on being squeezed in the hand
and becomes a compact mass, has been
found in many places within an area
Ol tuTte vi iouI hiiSo III "futh. WI"
menciug near the summit of the Cheme-
huevis range of mountains ana ex-
tending almost to the bank of the
Colorado river, distance of eight or
ten miles. Considerable excitement
exists in Kingman over the find which
has been kept very quiet and has only
become generally known as positive
fact within the last few days. A
chosen few, who were let into the Sc
cret in time, have been quietly organ
izing, aud have managed to secure
large tract Of land where the oil indi-
cations appear most favorable, and
since the news has gotten out nearly
every man in kingman who could get
away has "mysteriously disappeared"
but the cat il ont of the bag now and
the exodus continues, every one being
anxious to get ahead of his neighbor
and secure location in the Oil dis
trict. If it is demonstrated that the
oil exists in sufficient quantity to pay
for boring wells, &c, its Importance to
the county can scarcely be estimated.
Taken by itself it is an industry that
will build up a great business commu-
nifty, but when it Is considered that
the cost of fuel here has made it an
i'm possibility to proftably work many
of our largest mines, it will be seen
that the production Of oil right here at
home is likely to give US a fuel at
price that will at once overcome the
greatest obstacle with which we have
to contend. Prospect wells will be
sunk in the near future, as number
of Kingman's most progressive busi-
ness men have obtained large tract
of the oil land and it is only matter
of short time when we will know
whether or not the oil can be produced
| at a profit.

BRYAN IN INDIANA.
Reports From the West Show That
the Nebraskan is a Great Favorite
shipments

Valparaiso, lnl., May Z.
II Mr.. Bryan demonstrated his start.
ling increase of political power in Ohio
yesterday, his visit to Indiana TODAY
was no less remarkable for the evil
Idence which it called forth of his grow
ing strength all through the middle
West. The leader left Toledo at /
O'Clock this morning fresh from the
great multitude in the Armory. He
slept on the train until South Bend
Ind, was reached. Here he was met
by ex-Congressman Benjamin F.
Shively. Mr.. Bryan went to Mr..
Shively's house and slept until noon.
Then for an hour he received the citi-
zens of South Bend at Mr.. Shiyely,s
office.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. BRYAN
TOO kthe train for Valparaiso. This is
a town of 1000 inhabitants. Three
days ago there was Democratic viz
tory in the local election. When Mr..
Bryan arrived he found a crowd of
5000 roaring around the railroad sta
tlon. He was actually lifted from the
ground by the pressure of the people
llhls demonstration, in what has al
ways been strong Republican town.
IS all the more remarkable when il is
remembered that Mr. Bryan's mission
to Valparaiso was not a strictly politi-
cal one; that he came to lecture to the
5000 students of the Northern Indiana
Normal School,
CROWD FOLLOWED CARRIAGE.
The great crowd followed the car
riage for half mile to the residence
of President H. B. Brown, and here he
stood on sloping lawn under a grove
of trees, and shook hands with about
1000 persons. The committee which
met him consisted of two gold Demo-
Gratis and Republican. The Republi-
can member said that he intended to
vote for Mr. Bryan. Two of the COM
mitteemen were bankers.
| mention these facts to indicate the
change which has occurred since 1896.
Many of the gold Democrats who open
'ly and bitterly opposed Mr.. Bryan four
years ago called upon him to say that
the Democratic cause was sweeping
Indiana, and that the State would be
safe this year.
Many Republican newspapers have
asked how Mr.. Bryan earns his living.
This lecture at Valparaiso is an an
swer. He earns a modest income by
occasionally lecturing under the aus
pices of some college or society. This,
added to small income derived from
literary labor, is his whole revenue.
For instance, Mr.. Bryan divided the
money paid for admission to to-night's
lecture with the Normal School. His
share was sufficient ito pay the expense
or his journeyings since he left Ne
braska and to support his wife and
children at home. Last year Mr.. Bryan
made about six Thousand dollars by
lecturing.

EIGHT HUNDRED A MONTH
TO PLAY BASEBALL.
The St. Louis Club Get McGraw and
Robinson,

Cleveland May S.-President Frank
Robson of the st. Louis National
League Club, announced to-day that
Robinson and McGraw, the two former
Baltimore players who have been hold
ing out for better terms than was first
offered, have finally fixed their sigma
lures to St. Louis contracts.
Robson declined to state the terms
upon which they signed. The two men
are now on their way to St. Louis to
join the club.
1t is probable that McGraw will get
salary of $4,000 to play third base
and captain the team while Robinson
will get $500 as acting captain.
President Robson says that the talk
that McGraw will manage the club
is nonsence, as Tebeau is we'll
liked by his employers in his present
capacity, and besides, is stockholder
in the st. Louis Club President Rob
ison is elated over having signed the
men, especially as it was predicted all
over that they would never agree to
play in st. Louis.
