Major A. J. Pickrell, who is work ing the Mcguire mines, south of King man under bond, visited the proper ties this week. He is satisfied that the Bimetal mine is going to make a big producer of low grade ore. The drift is now in from the open cut about 15O feet, all the way in ore. Some of the ore encountered in the drift is very rich. The vein is one of the largest in the territory and is situated in one of the best sections of the coun- try for economic mining. the Santa Fe railroad passing over the vein. Plenty of water can be had for milling pur- poses, and the closeness to railroad makes it possible to get cheap fuel.
 Last Tuesday evening the local train on this division was wrecked at or near Beal siding, about five miles east of Needles, Peter Killilea, engineer, being killed. The wreck occurred at the intersection of the new road with the old line. A switch had been left partly open and the engine took one track and the tender the other, re- sulting in the engine being turned completely over, catching the engin- eer underneath. Killilea was one of the oldest engineers on the road and was considered the safest and fastest runners in the employ of the company. He left wife and three children at Needles.

Electric Plant for kinsman.

It is reported on the best of author ity that the Gold Road Mining & Ex- ploration company is to install large electric plant in Kingman for the pur- pose of generating power for trans mission to Gold Road. The plant is to be located in the southwest part of town, and ground for it has already been secured. The installation will cost about 15O,OOOS and work will be commenced on it in few months. It will be of a capacity sufficient to sup ply the needs of Kingman, Chloride and Stockton Hill, as well as the works of the company at Gold Road. The installation of a plant of this character means much for Kingman, as it insures it and the surrounding country cheap power, one of the neces- sities for economic mining and milling in the district. Kingman is one of the best points in the country for a plant of this kind, as from here all points of the mining section can be readily reached. The company will be able to realize thousands of dollars yearly from the sale of power and light, as every place that can be reached by a transmission line will be more than willing to use this new power.

Raymond Carr, a well known cat tleman of the eastern part of the coun- ty met with serious accident at the Davis ranch, sixty-five miles southeast of Blackberry, last Tuesday morning. He was riding the range when his horse fell on him crushing one leg badly. He was brought to Blackberry in a wagon over one of the toughest roads in the county, arriving there forty-eight hours after the accident. Dr. Hilton, of the Truxton school was called, but the young man was in such condition that he was unable to re- duce the fracture and sent him to the hospital in Los Angeles. The poor fellow was suffering greatly from the injury and serious results may ensue.
 The wage of section hands on the Santa Fe through Arizona has been increased to 1.25S per day. The road is experiencing trouble in getting this class of labor and it is rumored that negroes from the south will soon take the place of the Mexicans. Owing to the embargo placed on the importa- tion of Mexican contract laborers by the government it is expected that few of that class will hereafter be ob- tained. Section foremen who have worked the various kinds of cheap la bor state that the company could get more and better work if white men at a wage of B per day were employed.

The average population Of the coun-

Soap Bubble Contest.

floats over the net counts Is points
for the side from which it came, and,
of course, the side scoring highest
within given time wins.
. Pretty prizes for this sport would
be basket of tiny bouquets of sum-
mer flowers for the winning side.
A bubble game may also be played
on a long table placed on the lawn
and covered with woolen cloth.
Ribbon-bound wickets should be
placed at intervals, and the players,
divided into two sides, take turns, by
sides, in trying to blow the bubbles
through the wickets.
Each player blows three different
bubbles for a turn, and scores five
points for every wicket passed. If
the first bubble is blown through the
first wicket, the second. bubble is to
be blown from there, the player try
ing to blow it through the second
wicket; and the third bubble Is blown
from where the second bubble passed.
If, however, the first bubble breaks
before passing the first wicket, the
second bubble must try for that goal
before it can pass the second.
This is very entertaining sport, and
it may be varied by offering a series
of prizes, as follows: For the biggest
bubble, for the bubble with the most
brilliant hues, for the greatest num-
ber blown from one pipe, or for the
longest chain of bubbles.
For the chain of bubbles, a wooden
pipe is used in the shape of a NAL
let, the head of which is a hollow tube
like the stem.
In prize contests, the players will
find it pleasant to try in pairs, the
two pipes having colored ribbons
alike, and each player finding his or
her partner by matching the ribbons.
