Ide HambIin Suicides.

Word was brought to Kingman Tues day night that the badly decompOsed body of Ide Hamblin had been found in pile of brush near Chicken Springs by party of searchers. Hamblin had disappeared from the San Francisco mine two weeks before and although a systematic search was made no trace of him could be found. The unfortu- nate man had blown the entire top of his head off with a shotgun, and the only means of identification was the clothing he wore at the time of his disappearance. The unfortunate man had been ill several months and it was thought that he was mentally unbal- anced, although he talked rationally on all subjects. The death of his brother-in-law, Sheriff Thomas Logan, who was recently killed by a gambler at Manhatten, Nevada, depressed him greatly and it was while laboring un- der great mental stress that he went back to the San Francisco mine, near which place he ended his life. De- ceased had been a resident of Mohave county more than twenty years and had followed the occupation of mining. He had many friends who will regret his tragic demise.

For more than year a New York company has been making an effort to get an act through congress granting it a right-of-way for railroad from Peach Springs to the Colorado river in Diamond Creek Canyon. This same company more than a year ago sent prospectors into the canyon to locate deposits of platinum ores, which they claim exist there, and it is to get at these ores that the company desire a railroad franchise. The application for franchise was turned down by Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock, but a rehearing was recently granted, and now congress has been interested in the matter. While we believe the platinum deposits of the Grand Can yon are fakes pure and simple, we yet believe that a railroad from Peach Springs would be paying enterprise. It is only twenty-one miles from the main line of the Santa Fe at Peach Springs to the bottom of the Canyon at Diamond Creek, and this is the deepest part of the entire canyon, the walls in places rising to perpendicu- lar height of fully 5000 feet above the bed of the stream. From Prospect Point view of the river can be had for distance of fifty miles and the great expanse of castellated cliffs and crags, with varigated colOringS, as far as the vision reaches, make it a beauty spot of the world. This is the only part of the canyon that can read ily be entered and the only one where a view of the canyons great beauty can be had. At this point the canyon closes in and looking upward to the dizzy height of the canyons rim it looks as though the rocky walls were closing in. The road should by all means be built.

George Miller, of Planet, who was in Kingman a few days, reports the disappearance of J. B. Shackrow, an old time prospector of that section. The old man had been acting queerly of late and it is thought that he wan dered away while labOring under men, tai delusions. Shackrow at one time owned a number of good mining claims in the Empire Flat section and sold his interest to California people. He has been gone about four weeks. His burros and pack saddle were found on the desert in the direction of Chemehuevis Wells, but no trace of the man was found. Searching par ties have gone over the ground care fully. but have been unable to get trace of the man. MT. Miller is to take a search party out as soon as he gets back home and go over the coun- try between Planet and Chemeuevis mountain. Shackrow was a good hearted man and had many friends among the miners of Bill Williams Fork. The country in which he dis appeared is hot and dry and no one could live more than two days without water at this season of the year, there fore it is expected that nothing but the shrunken remains of the man will be found.

PUT STOP TO
over CHARGES

The fair association is taking a 6rm
stand against overcharging Of visitors
in any part Of the city. The members
of the committee take the position that
it is bad for the city to raise the rates
because of the fair, and are fighting
the matter in every way.
The first trouble arose over a num-
Der of restaurants that banded togeth-
er and raised the prices of meals. The
committee called upon them and in
duced them to retract the plan and
make their prices the same as usual.
The lodging houses next made a
combination and raised the price of
rooms. This was not so easily broken
up. but the fair association notified the
lodging house keepers that If they in
sisted upon overcnarging during fair
week they would go before the council
in body and ask to have the IL
cense of lodging houses raised to a
price more than offset the profits of
the overcharge. The bootblacks next
raised to Is cents and this was stamp
ed out by license suggestion.
The people who visit Lewiston dur
ing the fair may feel assured that they
will not be overcharged for any. OF the
necessities of life.
The Fair association announces that
1t has list of available rooms and
people seeking the same will find what
they want by calling at the informa-
tion bureau in the o. r. & N. office.
People who have rooms to rent are
also asked to send in their names to
the Fair association.
