George S. Briggs have gone to Flag
staff, from which point they will visit
Oak Creek and other points of inter-
est. Later Mr.. and Mrs. Briggs will

When it comes to the matter of po-
litical announcements, while this pa
per may not be able to help the var
ious candidates to get into the fat Of
fee, we can give the fact of their can
didacy all possible publicity, which is
one of the things desirable.
Walter Brown has announced that
he will be a candidate for reelection
to the office of Sheriff. At the last
election he was elected by one of the
largest majorities ever given candi-
date in the county and he has lost
none of his popularity. He has made
a good officer and deserves the office.
Peter Peterson, a local sport, was
adjudged insane in the Probate Court
Tuesday last and committed to the
asylum at Phenix. Sheriff Brown
went to Phenix Tuesday night having
Peterson in charge. Peterson has
been an unusually hard drinker and is
suffering from chronic alcoholism.
Foster S. Dennis is announced as a
candidate to succeed himself as Treas
urer of Mohave county. Mr.. Dennis
has been an excellent officer, the books
and accounts of that office having for
the first time in the history of the
county been kept in proper shape I'M
der his management, and the accounts
at all times correct.
J. w. Emerson has rented his resi-
dence in Kingman to Sam Fields and
departed Friday evening to San
Diego. where he will hereafter reside.
He recently purchased realty in San
Diego and will build residence. All
portable effects have been shipped to
his new home and later he will be
joined by Mrs. Emerson, who is now
visiting in the east.
The railroad company has completed
| Of tho 6haA hp-
tween Kingman and Franconia and
has moved the gravel train to Hack
berry, where a splendid pit has been
opened up. All the roadbed through
Wallapai valley will be ballasted and
later given good coat of oil. A big
gang of track men are now at work
west of here surfacing the roadbed.
John S. Kolar, Ross II. Blakely and
Arson H. Smith departed Thursday
evening to Phenix, where they will
attend the joint meeting of the demo
cratic and republican committees. The
gentlemen are ''forningst" the joining
of the two territories as one state, be-
lieving it to be for the best interest OF
all concerned to remain a territory in
definitely rather than come in as big
unwieldly state. Arizona has all tc
lose and nothing to gain by jointure.
Many people are under the impress.
sion that the tax list now running in
the MINER shows the increased assess.
ment made by the board of equaliza.
, ton of this county. 1t is but a list.
ment of the original assessment, which
the board believes to be too low anC
which will be increased at the Aug.
ust meeting of the board unless good
cause is shown by the taxpayer that
the assessment as it now stands is q
just one.
