William Sweeney Kills Himself.

Yesterday, about twelve o'clock, William Sweeney deliberately walked from his home on South Front street to the vicinity of the Lovin & Withers warehouse and placing small caliber revolver to his head pulled the trig- ger. The bullet entered the head above and to the rear of the right ear, passing into the brain. The unfortun- ate man fell to the ground in an un- conscious condition. Dr. Cowie was called and the wounded man was car ried to the lodging house of John Pen berthy where at about two o'clock he breathed his last. No cause is as- signed for the rash act. During the morning hours he had been pleasant to all the people around home and, al- though complaining of not feeling we'll, no one dreamed that he would take his life.
 A jury was empaneled and the sim pie fact of the deliberate act of self destruction elicited. No one saw the shot fired, but several heard the re- port of the gun and saw Sweeney fall ing.
 Mir. Sweeney had been doing assess ment work on mining claims in the Gold Road country the past two months and came in on the stage Thursday afternoon. When crossing the mountain the team tried to run away and he jumped to the ground, sustaining a hard fall. After he ar rived at his home he complained of feeling badly, but nothing was thought of it.
 William Sweeney had lived in Mo- have county fully fifteen years and had made competency in the mines of White Hills. He was known to the people of the county as an honest, industrious man and was universally liked. His death is deeply regretted by all who knew him. He leaves a wife and child to mourn his loss. The funeral will be held from the church tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
 Hon. P. F. Collins came up from Phenix few days ago and is boosting for the Fair. He says that the Presi- dents message has aroused great in- dignation among the people of Salt River valley and that every effort will be made by them to defeat any alliance between the two territories. He also states that there is not one per cent of the people of the south part of the territory in favor of joint statehood. a
 William Miller, who is looking after the interests of Mrs. s. M. 'Loy and his own interests, was in Kingman the first of the week from Chloride, where he has been doing large amount oi assessment work.

Mike Connolly and others have made wonderful discovery of gold ore on the desert thirty miles west of EldOrado Canyon. This new find is in the same neighborhood of the old finds made nearly thirty years ago, but which were not thoroughly pros pected on account of the treacherous Flutes and lack of water. The veins are said to be large and ore pockets running 3O,OO0S ton in gold have been found.
Mohave County miner., 1905-12-09

The finding of big ore bodies in the crosscuts from the bottom of the old Hardy and Homestake mines, in the Silver Creek section, by Col. Thomas Ewing, who has the properties under bond, has awakened great interest in mining in that section. The ore bod. ies are said to be large and rich. Col Ewing is now at the mines and is giv. ing his personal attention to them.
Mohave County miner., 1905-12-09

A nice streak of ore was opened up in the Little Chief mine, at Stockton Hill, while doing assessment work. The new ore body is on the north end of the claim, close to it's intersection with the Winchester mine. Many years ago big body of high grade ore was found in that vicinity, but a slide covered the old works and noth- ing further was done on the vein.
