hardest contested games ever played
In this vicinity and both sides retired
satisfied that the game had been won
in a fair, square contest. The Audu-
bon boys won their first touch down
and goal kick in the first three min
nutes of the game, and after that
fought every foot of the ground they
gained and earned by hard bumps
their second touch down two minutes
before the first half. In the second
half no games We're made by either
side. Audubon held the bah through
almost all of the game, Extra being
compelled to act on the defense. Extra
had the ball within fifteen feet of the
goal at one time but lost it on fun
bic and never got as near again.
Browning, of Viola Center, one of
Drake University's best players played
the big game for Audubon, yet he was
ably backed by White, Drake and
others. But he was the big man. He
always got where the ball was and
Extra could not hold him. He went
through their line every time. End
and trick plays were OF noavail. Fol-
lowing WAS the lineup:

Ernest Sommers is suing T. w. and
W, f. Van Slyke for one-half inter
est in several mining claims in the
hex Valley, of which Sommers was
the former owner. T. w. VanSlyke,
acting as superintendent for Sommers,
allowed the annual assessment on the
mining properties to go by default and
his son w. E. VanSlyke relocated them
in his own name. 1t was some time
after the relocation of the mines that
Sommers discovered the fraud that
had been perpetrated and be is now
suing for the recovery of the interest
that is alleged to go to T. W. VsnSlyck
under the agreement with the son.
These mines have produced consid.
cradle ore and carry good values in
gold. At one time it was considered
probable that milling plant would be
erected on the property, but the lack
Of water near the camp prevented.

This week we publish the articles of
ton com pany, imposed of Joseph III.
Bohon, Edward F. Holiday, Edward S.
Graham, Harvey II. Duryee and Henry
b. Ely, all of Redlands, California.
The com pany is capitalized at one hun
dred thousand shares of stock, the par
value of which is ten do llars per share.
This company was organized to operate
mining property in the Cerbst country
and already force OF men are at work
on the mines. Wednesday morning
Harvey II. Duryee, a membe of the
com pany, and Samuel Storrow, a min
ing engineer, arrived in Kingman and
in ompany OF E. +. Holiday they
went over to Cerbat to make an ex-
animation of the mines. Mr.. Storrow
was greatly pleased with the looks Of
the property and gave the impression
that he considered them as most prom
ising. The gentlemen also visited sew
eral other properties In the Cerbat
country and we're surprised at their
great extent and richness. Cerbat is
really one of the most promising gold
regions Of the county, but the fact that
the mills and mines of that section
have been closed down for several
years impresses most men unfavor-
ably until they have made an exami-
nation of the properties, when all
their prejndicial views are dissipated.

Over in the Eldorado Canyon coun.
try Charles Gracey is working force
of men on the Wall street mine. The
perpendicular shaft has reached a
depth of one hundred feet and cross.
cut to the ledge is being run from the
bottom. The Wall Street Is the big
mine of the camp, having been a pro-
ducer for more than thirty years. 1t
is expected that big ore body will be
cut in the mine at the loo foot level.

We understand that the Benson In
vestment company, which recently pur-
chased the Railroad mine, located at
Gold Road, will begin extensive i'm
provements on that property. The
mine Is located close In to the Gold
Road mines and is considered an ex-
cellsnt property. The Investment
company is composed of Senators Dor
sey and Pettigrew, who have been
heavily interested in Arizona mining
properties the past several years. The
gentlemen are desirable addition to
Mohave county's mining operators and
We hope to see them contine their ef-
forts to this region.

The Alger and Connolly brothers
have made wonderfully rich strike
on the old Norma mine, of the White
Hills group. The strike was made at
a depth OF fifty feet below the surface,
10 virgin ground, about two hundred
feet west OF the old Sweeney and Child
lister lease, from which so many thou
sands of dollars we're taken in the
balmy days of the samp. The streak
is about ten inches wide and the ore
almost solid silver chloride, running
thousands of ounces to the ton. The
orc is SO rich that pick struck into
1t can hardly be removed. The boys
who have the lease have been working
on the various mines OF the old silver
camp with but Indifferent results and
every body is pleased with their good
fortune. The finding of this ore In
entirely new ground bears out the view
of this paper that the White Hills has
been but partially prospected and that
with work scientifically carried out
they will become the greatest produo-
.ers of gold and silver in the territory.
Mohave County miner., 1903-02-14

The Hofmans, who are working the
Samoan mine, located east of the town
Of Chloride, are shipping great deal
of ore. Since their acquisition of the
property they have shipped Que hun
dred tons of pay ore to the smelters
aud now have on hand at the mine
more than seventy tons, that, owing to
the severe storms, they have been IN
able to get packed out. The mine Is
near the apex Of Sherum's Peak and
the ore has to be packed several miles
on burros. In connection with the
Samoan mine we understand that a
smslter will be operated at the town
OF Chloride and that the owners of the
property are thorough smelter people,
having long been engaged In the work
in Colorado. 1t would be great aid
t, the producers of Chloride IL a sue
cessful snelter was in operation In
that camp.
