Return of An Old Timer.

This week there arrived in kingman one of the earliest settlers of this part of Arizona--Capt. A. J. Moore, of Mount Gilead, Ohio. Capt. Moore was accom- panied by Col. Joseph Potts, also a resident of Mount Gilead. In the spring of 1870 Capt. Moore accompanied Capt. Burns from Whipple to Beale Springs, where Camp Beale Springs was established, and at which place Capt. Moore became post trader, after ward selling his leadership to Breon & Spear, who were then acting in the same capacity at Fort Mohave. Dur ing the time of Capt. Moore's residence in this county the Indians were bad and considerable trouble was exper- fenced with them by the soldiers. He is surprised with the changed appear ance of the country since those early days. It is his intention to go to Beale Springs and remain there sore weeks looking over the old stamping ground. Many Indians recognized him on the streets of the town ana were very much pleased to see him. He renewed ac- quaintances with many of the old tim CTS, but the greater nun Der of those he knew in those early days have gone across the range. We hope the gentle men will find enough of interest in the country to encourage them in taking up a permanent residence here.

Only a Pipe Dream.

The other night, in one of the dells of classic Burro Creek, four young men sat lying around the camp fire gazing rapturously up into the blue vault of heaven, studded with stare unutterably bright, when one of the party broke forth into the following rhapsody:
 "The great arched vault of heaven scintillating with the splendor of million.orbs,w whose pale light bathes the crum bled ruins of dynasties which men thought would never die. For thousands of years the calm moon has looked down upon serpent haunted fanes of powerful kings, who were considered invin- cible. And yet, today, we proud pigmies, strut with pride, or play our little tragedies and imagine ourselves of importance. Woe is vanity"
 The camp Are burned low and the pipe went out.

It is currently reported that the Elkhart mine has been placed on a reorganized basis and that within two weeks work will be resumed on the property. J. P.

A big scenic drama without a villain, is decided novelty, such as "For Mothers Sake" You think there has been murder committed, that there is a villain of the deepest dye, but at the last moment you find your mistake, and you are glad of if, you feel better, the sun shines brighter, and when you see the little tots under the Christmas tree, singing their Christmas Carols, you feel like walking right up and hug giug them. This is the kind of play that Carrie Ashley Clarke has written, and is booked to appear at Lake Hall Nov. 18th.

It is not generally known that a gem stone can be picked up on the streets of kingman, but such is the case. 4 vein or dyke which runs through the country from Coyote Hill by the way of Beale Springs and passes just north of town, carries quantities of moon stones. The float from this vein can be picked up in any part of town. Break it and bright stones appear which resemble opals, showing beauti. full colors. Grant McKesson, the watch maker, recently sent particles of the stone to Chicago lapidist, who pro. nounced them moonstones, and placed the value at about 3S per carat. Mr. Mckesson has a stone which is about half carat set in pin, on exhibition at his shop.

Anarchy.

will state to MT. St. Charles that am not opposed to the roads and high. ways being kept in repair, but there is written law to guide officials. Where this law is obeyed there would be no chance for a suit, nor would the county officials be liable. Wherever a party disregards the written law and do as they please they are called an- archists. believe that majority of the voters of America are leaning to- ward anarchy. WM H. HARDY.

Last week Harry Knight and pr. w. E. Sauls returned from an extended
 trip through southern Utah. They made Panguitch their headquarters while in Dixie, from which place they
 made incursions into the surrounding country. They located several copper bearing veins in that country and be. lieve they have something good. pr. Sauls is also interested in gravel mines on the Colorado river near Bluff City and believes they are destined to be- come the richest mines in the west. The mines will be worked later in the year or the first of next year. Machin- cry will have to be put in to handle the gravel, but the mines are in an access ible part of the country and can be supplied with equipment. They were both much benefited by their outing

Our esteemed friend, Powhatan
Owen, of Protemus, says that the
tempting song of the siren is fall
ing in soft cadences and gradually
increasing volume upon his ears,
and that he has been sorely tried
to WOO the tickle Jade, He says
that the voice does not come from
the sewing circle or the school
room, but gets it's inspiration from
the dear voter, who would lead him
to the battle of politics. In fine, he
has been urged to become candi-
date for register. Powhatton has
a heart in him as warm as the sun,
and a soul as big as the world, and
if he would take our advice and be
happy politics might go to the dem
milton bow-wows and Office become
thing unworthy of his time and
talent. There are none whom we
would more gladly welcome in the
