A party of prospectors are preparing
to go into the Bill Williams Fork coun-
try, In the region of the recent rich
gold strike. Considerable excitement
has been caused in the south part of
the county by the recent strike of gold
ore in the big dykes short distance
from Planet and the whole country is
being staked out. From present indi-
cations that country will be the richest
gold and copper producing region of
the territory. Gold has been found in
all the ores of the big copper veins, but
the recent strike is really the richest
that has ever been made in that region.
The original claims are held by Mexi
can locators, while the extensions and
surrounding claims are held in part by
Americans and Mexicans jointly. The
camp is but two or three miles from
the river and water can be had readily
for all purposes. There is no doubt
that the mines will be picked up by
capitalists within short time and the
camp doomed for all it is worth.
The local lodge of Elks last evening
decided on the immediate construction
or lodge room. The building is to
be constructed of stone and is to be
two stories in hight, 33xs5 feet in di.
mension. A contract for the stone will
be let at once and within a month
work on the building will be under
way. A corporation will be organized
and shares will be put on the local
market to aid in the completion of the
work. 1t Is understood that the lower
floor of the building will be used for
theater purposes, while the upper floor
will be leased to the local lodges. The
people of Kingman must recognize the
necessity for a thester building and
the benefits to be derived from its con-
struction and therefore should aid to
the extent of their ability in the cree.
tion of the building.

Death of Hon. David Southwick.

Last Saturday afternoon the soul OF
Hon. David Southwick passed over the
great divide. He had been i'll for the
past year and his death was not unex-
pected.
Hon. David Scuthwick was born in
the city of Springfield, Illinois, sixty
four years ago, and was veteran OF
the civil war. After the close Of the
rebellion he went to Montana, where
he worked in the placer mines for
some time, coming to Mohave county
nearly thirty five years ago. He was
one of the builders of this great county
and during all these years was one OF
its foremost citizens. He represented
the county we'll and honorably two
terms in the territorial legislature. He
was generous hearted man, with the
noblest of instincts. Every man who
knew him was a friend.
]. w. Thompson, one of his lifelong
friends, took charge of the remains and
the funeral was held from the NJ. E.
church Monday morning, Revs. Decker
and Blskely conducting the services.
The little church was crowded with
old friends and acquaintances of de-
ceased, who congregated there for the
purpose OF paying the last tribute Of
respect to a no ored pioneer. May
his last sleep under the bright skies of
the land of his adoption be his best.

Now Who Is It2

Last November Alice and Alma
Martin, who are twins and whose
home is in one Of the mountain
covers of the upper Tennessee
country, read In matrimonial
newspaper Of a gentleman who
wished TO correspond with young
lady not over 20 years old, with
view OF matr.mony. The adver-
tiser stated that be was rich, had
q nice horie aud his address was
Vinita, l. T. The twins opened
up communication with the man,
whose name is Henry Q. Bowing,
farmer Of the Indian Territory.
Both girls have been in oorre-
spondenoe with Bowing since.
Nothing was kept from him, be
being informed that the ladies
were twins and photographs being
exchanged, but the man from the
territory was unable to decide
which of his fair correspondents
be liked best. The girls we're re.
quested to visit the West, aud to
have their "big mountain brothern
accompany them to see that the
intentions were honorable and
things were as represented. For
all the expenses OF the undertaking
Bowing forwarded sufficient money |
for the party Of three. The girls
are pretty, modest and ladylike.
One is a pronounced brunette,
while the other is a blond. Their
family is highly respected in the
community where they live

woman's arms was in a sling; il
had been broken by blow from a
heavy club. A bandage encircled
her head, covering one eye which
had been bruised and discolored
by a brutal fist. She was hardly
able to walk from injuries and con.
tusions on various parts OF her
body. Yet, racked by pain, al.
most disabled by the cruel beating
she had received, she went TO work
and prepared a basket Of edibles
which she carried down town from
her home in the suburbs and left
at the Jail for the brute who bad
beaten her He was her husband
and all the illtreatmenl and cruel
outrage to which she had been sub
jecled had not entirely deadened

fade out and their fame gradually

there are rare exceptions. George

hearts Of his fellow oountrymen

brought out the fact that the man
