A. j. Otis is iu Kingman, having
safely delivered the electric light plant
from Temple Bar to Quartet by way of
the Colorado river. 1t required good
engineering to get through the rapids
of Black Canyon with the machinery
on raft, but Mr.. Otis did the trick,
He will go to Quartet in a few days to
install the plant for the company. Mr.
Otis is bright young electrician and
will probably have charge of the cleo
trical and mechanical works of the
Quartet company.

The recent big strike in the mines of
White Hills show the great possibiIi.
ties of mining. A few years ago the
White Hills mines we're sold to an
English company for 1,750,OO0s aud the
price was thought to be far in excess
of the value of the property. Today
the mines have an estimated value
exceeding lO,0O00ois is and it is not be-
lieved that they can be purchased for
that figure.

ore daily. The mills will ship about
l0O,OOJS per month in bullion.

ringing applause makers. From the
time the company appeared in the OPP

sion of brilliant specialties that bris-
ties with smart sayings, dances anu
captivity songs The show in its en-
tirety was as good a fun producer as
has been here in years. Chas. H. Boyle

in his ma ke-up to please the audience
himself. but when to his nonsense is
added the oddities of his chorus OF

CHAMBERLAIN GOT EVEN.

This excellent story of Joseph Cham
berlain demonstrates in an amusing
manner that the innate pungent hu-
NOR he possesses was cultivated early
in his career as a speaker.
When he entered the house of COM
mons he was anxious to try his or
atOrical powers. A certain leading
politician. who was plotting a bill
through the house. was approached by
one of Mr.. Chamberlain's friends, who
said: Chamberlain would like to
speak on the bill; can you give him a
chance?"
We'll, you know. 1 think it would
not do. He's a new member and no
body knows what the dickens he might
sayi''
Time went on. Joseph Chamberlain
gained ground-became a power in the
