Freighting on t:,e Upper Colorado.

COnsidera ble freighting is now being done between Mellen and the Parker country by way of the Colorado river. One boat is kept constantly in comnais- sion and several flat boats have recent ly made the trip to the mines with large tonnage of mining and other SUD- plies. The country surrounding Park CT is becoming very lively, many min ing companies now operating mines on both sides Of the river. When the rail- road is completed to the river it is ex- pected that great deal of machinery will be brought in and possibly smell ter to handle the ores will be erected on the river. That section can readily support ;t copper smelter of large ton mage.

ANOTHER BONANZA
 FOR YUMA COUNTY.
Felix MdheW Mine Sold
 for S35O,O0O

In the Sentinel of August 29 last was
 reported "ltich Gold Strike" by Felix
 Mayhew in the King of Arizona dis trict-and there &as no eXaggeratior
 in that report. Last Saturday, .Ianua ry F, about five mouths from the time of discovery, the property was sold tC New York and Denver parties for S350,. 900. Felix Ma, hew had the largest in terest in the property, the other part owners being Nick Larson, Charles De Corse, w. D. Smith and Juan Verdugo, all of whom can now occupy upholstered chairs on. Easy street and watch the common herd as it surges along in a mighty struggle for the Survival of the fittest'
 By the terms of an option granted by Felix Mayhew and his associates to the purchasers, the total sum of $350, ,000 is to be made in payments as follows:
 February b, sl2,OOO; December l, $84, 300; May l, 1908. S3t, 300: Septem- Der l, 1908, S8l,5Oo, and on January l, 1909, $S4 ,500, the final payment, will be made.
 The purchasers of the property are Charles H. Fay and E. M. Rogers of New York, and E. K. Humphreys and F. N. Rogers of Denver, Colo: The sale was negotiated partly by Dan Brislin, a well-known miner, who worked with Mr. Humphreys when the latter was superintendent of the Cali fornia King property st Picacho. The parties became interested through the efforts of Brislin, who took them out and showed them the property in No vember.
 It is said the real purchasers are the Guggeuheim interests, with whom at lesst one of the parties to the transac- tion-E. NJ. Rogers-has been associat- ed for several years. slr. Humphreys, however, has been associated with the Colorado Iron Works of Denver.
 According to the interested parties, development of the mine will begin at an early date and on Il large scale.
 The M,lyhew property is located about two miles north of the famous King of Arizona: for years one of the greist producers of the territory.
 On account of the discovery there has been large influx of prospectors and mining men into the district, and to accommodate the travel Geo. W. Norton's stage line from Mohawk Sum- init to Kofa is being taxed to the limit; he is thinking seriously of putting on automobile service.
 The ledge-o on the Mayhew strike it is said is fifty feet in width and can be traced for five miles. Many other To- cations have been made on the same lead, one being by Judge Norton, and on which he is now sinking shaft. Ii is fully as promising as the Mayhew 
 With the increasing mining activity in the district, Kofa seems destined to become one of the greatest gold camps of Arizona. e4.

Kingman Miner: The snow last Mon day night was one of the heaviest since 1884. In the Wallapai mountains the snow is said to be four feet deep on the level and in the Cerbat range it is nerly tSo feet deep. Kingman was covered with blanket of the beautiful and even the Bills close to the Colorado river were blanketed. At Yucca the snowfall was greater than ever before known. From all over northern Ari- zona comes report of exceptionally heavy snowfall, It will be some weeks before the snow disappears from the foothills, while the higher mountains will carry the Snow we'll into the spring months. This snowfall, while of great inconvenience at the present time, will be of incalculable benefit during the balance of thesyear.

Excuses from parents will be honor6d, but would like that these excuses be given only when absolutely necessary.
 The attendance for the month is con- siderably less than for any previous month of the term, end this may be accounted for By the Christmas holi- days breaking into the middle of the month, at which time the attendance is always low. The last week of the month the attendance was excellent. We now have about nne hundred boys and girls improving the opportu- nity of the course in physical culture, including free gymnastics and Indian club swinging, which is given each Tuesday and Friday. The boys cadet company is also becoming a permanent organization.
