Mohave County miner., 1907-09-07
That County Boundary.

cussing the subject of the disputed boundary line between the counties, which act provided for the survey of forty miles of the line. By this act the line was to be established seven and one-half miles east of the town of Peach Springs, where a monument was to be placed, and taking that as a starting point the lines was to be run five miles north and thirty-tive miles south. This was done, O. F. Kuencer, for Mohave county, and c. B. Foster, for Yavapai county, running the line. By reference to the MOHAvE COUNTY MINER of date May Fl, 1887, we find that the report of this survey was filed with the board of supervisors of this county and a warrant was drawn in favor of O. F. Kuencer for the sum of 5OO$ for the work. MT. Foster re- ceived the same amount from Yavapai county for his part of the work. In codifying the laws in 1901 this act es- tablishing the Mohave-Yavapai line was overlooked and the original line of 1l3 degrees 20 minutes was insert ed. At the time the surveyors also established the ll3 degree 20 minute meridian line, which was the same as that named in the law (about 1-2 miles east of Peach Springs.) So far the observations of Miller Brothers, surveyors in charge of the establish ment of the line, are of the opinion that practically no difference will be found in the old and new surveys.
 Last Tuesday evening, at Prescott, Miss Mabel Scott, daughter of Mrs. Fannie Ewing Scott, died. The young lady was twenty-one years of age at the time of her death. During the San Francisco horror of year ago the family was caught in one of the wreck ed buildings and the fright and horror so preyed on the mind of the young lady that she became physical wreck. In the hope of bringing her back to health the family removed to Prescott, where they resided when the end came. She was the daughter of the late M. w. Scott, who was at one time deputy under Sheriff James Rosbor- ough, and was beautiful young lady. The many old time friends of the fam ily will learn with sincere regret ot the young lady's demise and extend condolence to the bereaved mother, brother and sister.
 w. B. Slauson, prominent man of Los Angeles, perished on the desert in the neighborhood of the old Pittsburg landing on the Colorado river few days ago. When his body was found, there was water in his canteen. He is supposed to have been bitten by a rattlesnake, or it may be that the great heat ruptured blood vessel in his brain. The Needles Eye says that trailers found where he had camped for two nights, the last night being l5 miles from the river. At this camp he had written in the sand, "I am go- ing to the river," and when he was found he was about mile from the river.
 Frank Schmidt, who recently con- pleted contract on the mines in Crow Canyon, is said to have disappeared from the Needles. He was eating din- ner in one of the restaurants at Nee dles last Sunday, when companion suggested that they get a bottle of beer. When the man returned to the restaurant Smith had gone and all ef- forts to find him were unavailing. He had about eighty dollars on his person when he left. Tools and supplies were left at their camp, but so far he has not shown up there.
 Ross H. Blakely returned home from the Virgin River country last Tuesday afternoon. He reports that in and around Virgin City there is much ac- tivity and before the first of January it is expected that fifteen or twenty wells will be brought in. The first well drilled in that section was good one and if the others are found to be as good the future of the field is as- sured. Should the field prove to be of considerable extent railroad will be built in there from the Clark road
