Mohave County miner., 1907-08-31

establishing the boundary line De- tween this county and Yavapai. About one and one-half miles east Of Nelson the old boundary monument was found and at this point observa- tions are now being taken to establish the correct meridian. A properly ad- iusted chronometer was sent to Nelson few days ago from San Francisco and the Miller Brothers, the engineers Tn charge of the survey, are taking every precaution to get true starting point for the line to be run between the two counties. As Yuma and Maricopa counties are to run new line on the same meridian there is no reason whN the two lines should not meet at the south boundary of this county. To this county the establishment of the line on the old survey means few miles of territory and at least three miles of railroad trackage. The line recently run by Surveyor Lattimer of Yavapai county, establishes nothing really, but the matter should be set tied for all time. Near Fort Rock, it is said by cattlemen, the Lattimer sur vey came almost on a line with the Foster-Kuencer survey and then swerved off to the west more than a mile. What this was done for is un- known, but those who live in that sec tion claim that the monuments esta- blished in making the survey show the line running northwesterly from point short distance south of Fort Rock.
 P. R. Smith and F. H. Lerchen, of Deming, New Mexico, who have been examining the Keystone and other properties at Mineral Park, came in from that place last Saturday evening and departed to their home the same night. It is understood that if the samples check out with those taken a few weeks ago the properties will be taken over by strong company. All of the mines in the deal are good, among them being the Keystone, one of the greatest mines in the county, the Metallic Accident, which created a sensation when discovered, over thirty years ago, and the many sur rounding mines. The lower part of Mineral Park basin, in which these mines are situated, is noted for its large veins and these properties lie in that section. Copper is the base of these ores and it is certain that below the oxidized zone the values in that metal will be great. MT. Smith, who has the promotion of this deal in hand, is one of the most successful mining men in the southwest and has engin- eered some of the largest deals in cop pers in the United States.
 One of the saddest cases that has come under the observation of the
 people of Kingman is that of Mrs. Charles Buckles, who was brought
 here from Los Angeles, Thursday last,
 hopelessly insane. Mrs. Buckles had
 been sent to Los Angeles several months ago to have an operation per. formed, but the surgeon refused on ac. count of its tuberculor charater and al the same time informing her that she
 had but a short time to live. Brood ing over this caused her to lose hel
 mind and when taken on the train ;t
 Los Angeles to return to her home sl ( 3 became violent and had to be restrain s ed. She was taken before Probate 3 Judge Robertson and Drs. Ealy anC T Cowie yesterday and committed to th' S asylum at Phenx. MT. Buckles an( S deputy sheriff Quinn left with the un C fortunate woman last night.
 c. M. Tozer and wife came in iron
 northern California last Thursda. n evening and departed yesterday t d Gold Road, where they will mak e their home. During their absenc If from this county they visited tn ,f mines of Shasta county, California Il and Goldfield. Mir. Tozer believe e that Goldteld is much overrate n camp, only few mines producing ore e of pay value, while thousands of con n panies are wildcatting with no hope ( Il hitting pay rock. This county look
 good to him and it is quite prObabl
