kineman Fire.

Early this morning fire broke out in the rear of the old Taggart Mer- camille building, on Front street and in short time communicated with the surrounding buildings and in an in- credibly short time the building and contents was total loss. The other buildings (Russell's saloon, Penber- thy saloon, Bennett harness shop and Chinese lodging house) burned more slowly and when water was gotten on- to the buildings the fire was confined to them. Many of the movable things were taken from nearby buildings and the loss from breakage and handling amounts to considerable. The tele- phone office was badly burned, but by an effort the fire was stopped at this point. The loss so far as can be learn ed is as follows: Lena Fast, 2,50O$; no insurance; w. J. Prout, on building, about 2,OOO$; telephone office, wires and cable, 25O$; J. F. Luthy, three rooms of his block. 3,OOOS; J. R. Rus sell, 2,50O$; Henry Lovin, liquor stock, l2,0OO$, insurance 5,OOO;J M. Penber- thy, bar and fixtures, 1,OOO$: F. c. Ben- nett, stock and fixtures, 50O$, money 6OO; Chinese, stock and fixtures, 800, money, 2OO$; w. H. Taggart, loss about 4OO$; H. H. Watkins, loss on stock by breakage, etc., 3OO$; Eshom & Lauten, meat market, 1,5O0$.
 Had it not been for faithful dog two of the men living in the rear of the Taggart building would have been burned to death. The dog caught his master blythe wrist and tried to pull him from his led. The action of the dog aroused the man and he barely escaped with scant wardrobe. F. c. | Bennett and wife were awake ned, but were unable to save more than few clothes and their big sewing machine.
 Everybody worked valiently to save property and to their efforts is due the safety of the west end of the Luthy block and the Commercial Hotel and small buildings attached to it on the west.

| The thanks of this office is due the celebration committee of Flagstaff for several complimentary tickets to the grand stand at that place on the Fourth of July. The people have prepared a most interesting program and those who attend are assured of fine time. The celebration begins the morning of the 4th and lasts three days. We have to acknowledge the receipt of neatly bound volume from the pen of R. Fenton, of Coronado, California, entitled, "Peculiar People in Pleas ant Land." The book deals of the conditions in South Africa before and after the war. The author for many years was engaged in active mining in and around the reefs of the Wit watersrand and knew nearly all the prominent characters of the Boer re- public intimately. He tells his story charmingly.
 The O'Neill monument committee has our thanks for an invitation to the unveiling of the monument in memory of the gallant Bucky O'Neill, which is to take place at the city of Prescott on the third day of next July. The event is to be made a memorable one and those who knew and loved the genial Bucky (and there are thousands) will be on hand to do honor to his memory and the memory of the gal lant comrades of Arizona's Rough Rider regiment that died in defense of the grand old flag.

 The commencement exercises of the Kingman school, held in Elk's Opera house, was very entertaining. At the hour of eight o'clock the handsome edifice was packed to the doors by parents, children and invited guests. The exercises consisted of music, sing ing, recitations and dialogues, which , were received by the audience with great enthusiasm. The presentation of diplomas to the graduating class was made by J. E. Perry. The class consisted of Phyllis Smith, Altha Perry, Lena Casteel, Homer Gaddis, Emmett Dawson and Elmer Kier.
 Kingman was rather lucky this morning to have big water supply, else all Front street between Fourth and Fifth would have been destroyed. It is now up to the people of Kingman to expend the money raised some time ago on adequate fire apparatus. The cheap john hose that was purchased for fire use is practically worthless at i fire on account of its inclination to buckle whenever carried over a pro- jection. Not ladder for scaling or other purposes can be had, nor is pike, axe, hook or other necessary part of the equipment of fire fighting appar- atus in the outfit. If the money raised on pretense of obtaining this necessary equipment is not used for that pur- pose it should be returned to the don- CTS, or the matter should be placed in the hands of people not afraid to ex- pend it for that purpose.
 County Surveyor Latimer, of Yava- pal county, was in Kingman Wednes- day evening last, having run the line between Yavapai and Mohave county through from its intersection with Yuma. He brought the boundary out one and one-half miles this side of Nelson. He reports that he had had a most difficult job on this piece of work. But after all, what has the running of this line settled? More than twenty years ago Yavapai and Mohave counties entered into an agree ment by which Will Foster and o. r. Kuencer should make joint survey of the line between the two counties. This survey was made. It established the line one mile east of Nelson and one mile east of Fort Rock. The sur vey made by Latimer runs west of each of those places. Kuencer and Foster established the meridian and worked south from that base. Lati- mer took up an old line on the Santa Maria river and worked north from that. If his was the correct starting point and no mistake was made m running north Mohave county loses a big strip of territory.
