this evening.
j. J. Fisher and j. f. Hesse have
been awarded the contract for survey
ing 30, 600 acres of land along the Col
orado river opposite Needles. 1t en-
braces the tract to be covered by the
water taken from the Colorado river
by the irrigation company of which
D. NJ. Martin is the manager. They
expect 10 commence work on it early
in March and it will require several
months to complete it, Messrs. Fish
Ell and Hesse are both very competent
surveyors.
MIR. and Mrs. S. c. Miller will leave
tomorrow for Los Angeles to remain
for several months. They do not ex-
pect to remain there permanently, as
reported but will take few months
rest before returning to Arizona again.
While they have rented their place
west of Prescott Mr.. Miller has other
interests here WHICH require his atten-
ton and besides he says that he does
not have any desire to make a perma-
nent residence at any ohter place than
Prescott. They will visit with their
son -in-law and daughter, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hugo Behan, in Los Angeles.
James Welch, who has been the day
clerk at Hotel Burke, for the past
year or more, left yesterday for San
Bernardino to take charge of the Ste
wart house at that place. Mr.. WEIGH
during his soiourn in Prescott made a
host of friends who regret very much
his departure. He is also popular
with the travelling public, and thor
oughly understands the hotel business
and will no doubt make great sue
cess in his new venture. He was ac-
companied by his wife who will also
be missed by Prescott people. The
journal Miner wishes them all kinds
of gosd luck and prosperity in their
new home.
W. V. Jones and Z. j. Griffith, of
Wisconsin. went out to the Gold Lode
mines on Cherry Creek Sunday, where
they will remain few days inspect
ing the property and decide on future
operations. Messrs. Jones and Griffith
we're here a year ago and with their
associates become interested in the
Gold Lode property. Work on the
property has been almost continuously
pushed during the past twelve months
under the management of Mr.. Burmis-
ter and development has reached the
point where plans for reduction plant
is to be considered. The visit of these
gentlemen will no doubt mean the
early erection of another large reduc-
tion plant and corresponding in
crease in our output of the precious
metal.
d. NJ. Martin, superintendent of the
Colorado Land and Irrigation COM
pany, was in Kingman a few days this
week. Mr.. Martin is looking aztec the
matter of a survey of the lands of the
railroad company, as his company has
an option on all railroad lands in the
valley. 1t is probable that these lands
will be surveyed this year and that
large colony will be established below
the big bitches now in progress of
construction. At present there are
number of farms under cultivation
and many more being cleared of brush
and leveled up. Mohave valley will
some day be one of the garden spots
of the territory. -Mohave Miner.
