Lively Times Expected in Mohave
County's Mining Center

| Chloride, ARR, May 30.-(Special or
respOndence of The Republican.)-Al-
| though summer weather has been very
| tardy in making its arrival this sea-
son, and spring has fingered longer in
the lap of winter than is customary COR
| May and December to mutually agree
to do. in this land of sunshine and sill
Yer. warm weather and gently blowing
zephyrs and breeZeS are greeting and
kissing the earth again after a most
Gisa greeable and annoying late spring.
Another sad thing in this season of
appalling dreariness is that no rain
has fallen to help the perfumed winds
| Of the sunny south make the earth
glad, and stock has already begun 10
forsake the high ranges and wide val
! leys and repair to towns to see if they
cannot pick up a morsel or fragment
| OF something to appease the gnawiag
| appetite. Otherwise general matters
are good here. and everybody is full of
vim and enterprise. occasioned by
much new and growing business.
Everything pOrtends Il long and big
| season of activity both in and out CT
i the mines. The new Vulcan smelter is
proceeding with all haste for opera
| lions. and great quantities of ore are
| being gotten ready for it to handle in
the mountains and plains, for mas
much as it has agreed to treat ores at
an S. rate per ton, it has started men
! to work in all the old holes and aban-
doned shafts and tunnels for a long
I ways out. and the area OF mining ter
ritory that will be tributary to il is
! immense.
/ About a dozen men are at work at
the new smelter. and more are being
added as room is made for them, and
most of the machinery has been IN
! loaded from the cars and hauled Ivy
! big wagons and teams to the grounds
it is to occupy when erected. The
management hopes 10 have the leW
plant in operation in sixty days from
| date. or Whereabouts.
| Business is good in other ways. also.
! for the coming and building of the new
snelter plant seems to have sped on
| the wings of some OF the late hard
winds until arrivals seem to have come
| from nearly every point of the COM
pass.
! Many people of various callings are
| also coming, though most of them are
miners, who find work without delay.

lilies. and among those that the CORE
! spondent of The Republican has met
are Mir. and Mrs. Frank Lastrcm. who
/ had heard of Chloride a their home IN
Z little mining town called Carbonate
! in far away Dakota. The only other
! member o. the family is q sweet little
! girl some five or six years of age. and
al are 50 favorably impressed with the
| warm and genial climate and the reaji-
ness with which the husband obtained
! work in the mines, that they at once
agreed to stay and make this their
home
Another new arrival among the
many is Mr.. and Mrs. Seymour. who
are from New York last, but formerly
resided in the west where Mr.. Seymour
followed mining, and since his arrival
has been at work at the Tennessee
mine. Mr.. Seymour is a we'll known
| newspaper correspondent, as we'll as
having been staff writer and engaged
III special work on some of the leading
dallles of that city. At present she is
special mail correspondent of the New
DIRK Sunday Morning Journal and
! Newark, n. j., Call. and Monday she
| VISITED the Tennessee mine and went
through all its underground workings

and will build them a home in the
southern suburbs of town and STAY.
Sull another enterprise OF as much
or more importance looking TO the nm
building of the town and camp as the
new smelter, is the late coming Of the
Arizona Arrow from Kingman This
new addition to the business and min
ing interests of the town is hailed With
as much pleasure and genuine hearth
ness as has any other great and good
fortune that has visited Chloride. ONLY
one issue of the paper has so far APP
peared since its arrival. but it is Il
! weekly and Will be published every
thursday as was its custom in its old
home Mr.. Blakely, the publisher and
proprietor of the Arrow, has one of the
best equipped country printing Offices
! in the Territory. His type and big

tain among other things necessary for
the publication of bright and attrac-

and Mrs. Blakely are printers and each

and interesting articles that have ;,p

since its birth in T[ingman a little
more than year ago, were written by
Mrs. Blakely. The paper is being Well
