Dr. Otto Sussman, accompanied by J. D. Helm, came in from the east Wednesday evening and departed the following morning to Chloride, where they are interested in mining. Mir. Helm was attorney for the old Wall apai Mining & Development company, owner of the Tennessee mine, which was recently taken over by MT. Suss- man, as trustee for large mining cor poration. The gentlemen will look over the properties in the interests of the old and the new companies.

Arnold G. Alm and Charles A. Grunow are in Kingman from Trout Creek country, where they recently located several promising copper min- ing claims. The gentlemen are from Chicago and obtained knowledge of the location of the mines from an old lost mine story, which they followed up and found the mines. The ore is said to be wonderfully rich in copper, also carrying gold.
Mohave County miner., 1907-03-16

w. B. Ridenour was in Kingman the first of the week with Ralph Cam eron for the purpose of arranging terms for the transfer of the old Hack berry mine to an eastern syndicate of capitalists represented by MT. Cam eron. The deal was consummated and the gentlemen returned to Blackberry Tuesday last. It is understood that work will be commenced on the mine within the next thirty days and that a new shaft will be sunk below the old ore bodies. The Blackberry mine was discovered in the seventies by w. B. Ridenour and the late Samuel Crozier and by them worked for some years, later selling it to San Francisco con- pany. For years it was a big producer of silver, but when silver began to de- preciate in value the mine was closed and little has been done on it in twen- ty years. The resumption of work on this old property will be of immense benefit to the eastern end of the county.

J. A. CarrOw was up from Cedar last Sunday. He reports that the Ben- edictine mining company is working a large force of men on the road, mines and mill and that within short time a large force of men would be put on the mine and the main shaft on the Arnold property sunk to considerable depth below the present level. The company is reputed to have an im- mense capitalization back of it and are prepared to put the mines in high state of production. MT. Carrow and son has charge of the boarding house and commisary.

A large number of shareholders of the Golden Star mining company, res ilents of New Jersey, made an exami- nation of the property this week. They found the property at Cerbat in firstclass condition and went home we'll satisfied with their investment.
Mohave County miner., 1907-03-16

A large party of Colorado men are at the Bimetal mine, of the Mcguire group, south of Kingman, engaged in making thorough sampling of that property. The mine is one of the largest deposits of free milling gold ore on the Pacific coast, but is low in grade. Owing to it's proximity to the rIilroad and the cheap manner of ex- tracting the ore it ought to be one of the most attractive propositions in the county.
Mohave County miner., 1907-03-16

J. de Salmard and Daniel Bosque made an examination of mining prop erty, near the old Copper World mines, east of Yucca, few days ago. Mr. de Salmard informed the MINER reporter that the mines showed up great bodies of ore and his belief was that the mines would develop into big ore pro- ducers. The mines are owned by Mr. Sperl. who has been doing develop ment work on them the past several months. -.-.l.--.-

C.. Harris, of Finally, Ohio, ar- rived in Kingman few days ago to look after his mining interests in this county. He has gone out to the prop erty and may conclude to start up work within the next week or so.

A. M. McDuffee and H. l.. McCarn came in from Chloride last Tuesday evening and the follwing day the gentlemen arranged the transfer of the Rainbow group of mines, at Chlo- ride from MT. McDuffee to Mir. McCarn. Mir. McCarn also purchased all the personal and other property of MT. McDuffee in Chloride and will operate an assay office in that town for the convenience of the public as we'll as for his own uses. It is quite pro- bable that work will soon be commence ed on the Rainbow group of mines aud that these properties will be put ia condition for the production of a large daily tonnage of ore. Mir. Me- Duffee departed Wednesday evening to Los Angeles, where he will remain for some time under treatment for bronchial troubles.

HEDRIck ELEVATOR BURNS.

Rujldjno-Incey,djar II CHARGED.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Is Charged.
Hedrick, March b.-The grain ele-
vator located .on the Iowa Central
railway tracks on South Main street,
was discovered to be on fire Saturday
evening about 9 o'clock, and the alarm,
which was Immediately given, brought
many to the scene Of the fire.
When discovered, the fire seemed to
be on the inside Of the building at the
southeast corner, and had gained such
Roadway that it was an impossibility
to save the building or any OF its con-
tents. SO the large number Of people
present directed their attention to the
nearby buildings, in order to save them
from destruction. The Broadwell Lum-
Der Company's sheds are located within
fifty feet of the eevator site and it
seems almost miracle that these
buildings were saved.
The large four-s story Of the Central
Grain and Fuel Company is located
just across the tracks and several
coal sheds, corn cribs and residences
We're in danger, but by the efficient
work of those present, the fire was
confined to the one building.
About 1000 bushels of oats and LOO
bushels Of corn were in the building
and burned
Ayers Of Houston, Texas, formerly a
resident of Hedrick. 1t was leased to-
the e. D. Hamlin Grain Company of

Cedar Rapids, March 5.-This is
Lent and no one ought to think of eat
ing quail anyway. When Carl Mister
of Delhi, shot four of the dainty birds
he ought to have thought of this and
he ought also to have thought of the
possibility of that bad man, A. M.
Green, the deputy warden from Sioux
City. who never sleeps, and who can
be in more places at once than any
deputy game warden who eyer signed
an information in a Justice shop.
Mister was taken into court by
Green and the case against him was
SO clear and convincing that he saw
he might as well fess up; he was fined
$40 each on four counts. That made
$40 and the costs in the four cases as
assessed up by Justice Swinburne
amounted to s21.75. SO that the total
cost Of the four quail was $61.75. That
would have been enough to buy an
Easter hat with perhaps the price OF
q dish Of strawberries thrown in.

was an entertaining address on Amer

and fascinating speaker, talking in an
easy and interesting manner, and it
seems no effort for her to keep the
closest attention OF her audience. IL

number OF fine copies Of American art
and sculpture. Mrs. Howe is not a
stranger with the Monday cub, and
their friends, having addressed them

NEW BRIDGE FOR CLINTON.
Single Track Structure to be Replaced
by Double Track Bridge.

by Double Track Bridge.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, March b.--The old single
track bridge over the Mississippi river
at this point, is to be replaced by a
modern double track bridge. Accord
ing to the provisions of bill which has
just passed the national legislature the
Albany Railroad Bridge Company, OF
the Chicago u Northwestern Railroad
Company, by permission of the first
named corporation, has authority to
build the new bridge, providing the
work is commenced within year and
is completed within three years.
The old bridge was commenced on
January Is, 1859. and was completed
In February, 1854, at a cost OF $780,
900 by the Chicago, Iowa and Nebras-
ka Railroad Company, OF which the
Chicago and Northwestern is sue
cessor. The first engine to cross the
bridge into Iowa was a wood burner,
15x22, with pressure of 1870
pounds, and capable Of hauling four
teen loaded cars, or twenty-five empty
ones. Today class r engines cross
ing the old bridge haul forty loaded
cars or eighty-five empties, about 100
tons. When the bridge was built the
time of the fastest passenger trains
from Chicago to Clinton was six hours
and thirty minutes. Today the trains
make the same run in two hours and
forty minutes.
The increase in freight traffic in the
past decade or SO has been enormous.
In 1895 cars to the number OF 49,
715 were taken over the bridge by
1855 engines. Ten years later, In
1905, 40,405 cars were hauled over the
structure. Now more than 100 trains
cross the bridge every twenty-four
hours.
