Mohave County miner., 1903-03-28

Work on the Vivian mine, near the
SNOWFALL camp, is progressing under
the direction of Col. Thomas Ewing
and wonderfully rich ore is being
opened up. The mine was discovered
by Ben Paddock aud was by him sold
to Judge f. VI. Ross, of Los Angeles,
aud Col Ewing. At the time of its
discovery it created great deal of ex-
citement. as the ore was wonderfully
rich, free gold being visible throughout
the outcrop of the vein. In the deeper
workings free gold is also found and
the run of the ore averages up we'll.
A milling plant will soon be put on
the mine for the reduction nf the ores.
The Leland people are to build a
line of road from the mine to the new
millsite for the purpose of conveying
ores and materials from and to the
mine. 1t is also stated that railroad
is almost sure to be built in from
Mellen to the mines on the west side
of the mountain and that this project
will be carried out just as soon as work
shall be commenced on the Bull Head
dan, or in the event that the mines
can supply sufficient tonnage of ore
to ray for the operation of the road.
The question of fuel is to be one OF the
knotty problems for the mine opera
tors of the San Francisco district to
solve and it is only in the construction
of a. railroad that light can be thrown
upon it. Electric transmission would
settle the question also and these peo.
pie may consider it much the best OF
the two propositions.

The Homicide Record.

According to the report of the
attorney general there were
223 homicide cases in the State
during the year 1902. This is
a fearful record for q State with
but little over a million and a
half of people. We venture to
say that nlnety-nine out of each
hundred were the direct result
OF carrying concealed weapons.
Yet there are Legislators who
hesitate, even refuse, to vote for
the passage of a bill which
would compel violators of the
law to serve on the chaingang,
or law that would disfranchise
them. And why? Simply be-
cause some white man would be
likely to suffer the ignominy of
wearing stripes or losing his
rights of citizenship. AS long
as the idea remains that we
must make one law for the
negro ana another for the white
man In this particular, so long
will this most pernicious and
death dealing habit have a
strong foothold among US and
there will be no diminution of
violent deaths. The record for
the present year so far very
likely exceeds that of the past
for the same time, and the sta
tistics would prove it, we think,
If they could be had, The ques.
tlon is, how much longer are
we to have our own lives in
danger and remain disgraced in
the eyes of the world about this
thing?-Columbia Record.

Arcb Street to Be Extended.

The town council has decided
to extend Arch street further
eastward. At present its eastern
limit is where it enters Market
street at the old Catholic grave
yard. 1t is proposed now to
extend it through the graveyard
eastward to the eastern limit of
the town, somewhere in the rear
of Col. r. E. Allison's residence
Before this can be done, however,
it is necessary to remove bar
rier in the shape of an act of the
legislature establishing this old
graveyard at the end of Arch
street. After several unsuccess-
full searches for this act, Senator
Hough, who has access to the
state library in Columbia, sue.
ceeded in finding it. The act was
passed in 1855. The necessary
legislation, whether it be simply
an act repeating the old one, or a
new act containing a repeating
clause, will be had at the present

It'S ~ Mistake.

A report comes from Arkansas
by private letter that cotton is
bringing l24 cents there for the
best and 10 cents for yellow cot
ton. But that is hardly probable,
since it is worth at Memphis only
3 cents, and Memphis Is the most
important market in that section
of the country. At Galveston
and Houston, which are both a
long way from Arkansas, the
market has not yet been over 81
cents. 1t is not probable that
cotton would be worth more at
any other point in Arkansas than
at those places. In fact, it would
actually bring less on account of
the distance it would have to be
shipped to get it to the cotton
centers.

Dangerous 4ccident to u Young
Lady.

Lady.
Last Friday afternoon Miss
Cora Thomas, the 17-year-old
daughter of Mr.. S. d. Thomas
of this place, met with a very
serious accident. She was up
street shopping and started
across Church street toward the
store of the Heath B. & M. Go.
when she was struck by the
runaway horse of Dr.. E. S.
Mellow and knocked some ten
feet and landed on the hard
street broadsided. She was
picked up by bystanders who
found that she was insensible
for a time, and taken up into
DR.. McDow's office for medical
treatment. 1t was found that
her leg was broken above the
knee and that she had received
a bruise on the side of her
temple, though this turned out
to be not serious. The broken
limb was set by the doctors and
she was taken home and is do
ing as well as could be expect
ed. She had an extremely mar.
row escape from an awful death.
If the end of the buggy shaft
which grazed her head had
struck her squarely, she would
most probably have been in
stantly killed.
Miss Thomas perhaps cannot
say just why she kept going on
across Church street when she
saw DR.. McDow's horse coming
at such a terrific rate. Some
were calling to her from both
sides of the street to 90 back
and it is probable that she got
confused and frightened and
lost her self control.
DR.. Mellow lost control of his
horse as he came up Main street,
and seeing he could do nothing
with him, jumped out of the
buggy just this side of Mr.. Will
Browns house, and the horse
kept on at lightning speed, turn.
ing into Church street and dash
ing down that and into the Civ.
burn-Heath Livery stables

gone to the back end Of the

however, we can with propriety refer to

Other Opinions.
Mr. ]. J. Darlington Of the local bar said
today:
II am strongly of the opinion that the
District of Columbia should have the ben
eft of loan advanced to it from the Uni
ted States treasurer for the purpose Of
paying for the permanent improvements
which are of such wide scope. One might
as well argue that an individual should
build a house, paying for the structure
from his current salary, as to contend that
the District should pay for these vast per-
manent improvements from it's current In
come"
Mr.. Wilton J. Lambert vice president Of
the Brightwood Citizens Association said:
THAT the national capital is in urgent
need Of extraordinary assistance to pay for
improvements which are largely in the in
terest Of the people Of the entire country
there can be NO question. By the attempt
made by Congress during the past Few
years. to depart from the compact of 1878
and make the District bear the entire ex
pense of that development which inures to
the advantage Of the government and fu-
ture generations the District treasury
showed a deficit of about $2,OOO,OOO.
when this was realized by the people Of
the District a meeting was held of repre-
sentatives from the Business Mems Asso-
citizens associations, who strongly urged
either a bond issue, such as other munich
palities provide for these conditions, OF an
advance from the treasury. \ till for a
bond issue was prepared and introduced
in Congress, but the Commissioners favored
an advance instead.
