In view of the fact that Kenosha is
having exactly the same experience with
some of the streets as those mentioned
the following extracts from an article
on improved road making from the Chi
cago Tribune may be of interest here:
"Two serious charges have been
brought against the automobile. One
is that it's swift motion along the high
way stirs up clouds of dust which play
an important part in the spread of di-
sease, not to mention the discomfort of
those who have to "take the dust. -
The other is that the same swift motion
ruins the pavement. The suction of the
rubber tires upon the smaller particles
Of the roadway quickly removes all of
the surface dressing.
Americans are so used to dust that
they have not made so vigorous pro-
test against the automobile for this as
the English have done. But the de-
struction of the streets has attracted
much attention.
The automobile has come to stay. It
has passed from the city and from the
mere search for pleasure into the coun-
try and the domain of practical utility.
1t cannot be banished from the roadway.
The roadway must be changed in it's
construction to meet the requirements
of new form of locomotion.
Various experiments have been tried
with this end in view. The smaller
particles must be kept in place both to
preserve the surface and keep down the
dust. Roadways have been sprinkled
with oils of different kinds Coal tar
and calcium chloride have been used in
places. These materials have helped in
some degree to relieve the dust, but
their affect has not been so marked as to
show that the problem has been solved
The subject is being studied carefully
both in America and in Europe. The
oft noted principle Of progress may
again be Illustrated. What seems an
unmitigated evil may be shown to be a
blessing in disguise. If the dust stir
ring automobile brings dustless high
way one of the most unpleasant features
Of travel will be removed. The road
builder who makes the discovery will
attain Immortality"

looks as if they were right in making
their complaint Certainly if, there are

An IcicIe Factory.

In Austria ''ice sticks, are manufac.
tured at profit. A series of poles is
arranged 50 that the water will fall
slowly over each one in the series.
OF course the water in the winter time
freezes, forming large icicles. When
the icicles have attained the proper
size, the employees of the ice plant
come around with carts, break off the
great sticks of ice and haul them away
to a place where they are put in stor-
age. OF course it is much easier to
handle large quantity of ice in this
way than it is to cut it from some
stream and then pack it away. There
may, however, be difference in quail
ity between stick ice and lake or river
ice.-Pathfnder

We desire to ask the people of all
parts of the city to cooperate with US
in an effort to keep the streets of the
city clean and to this end we desire
to ask all property holders to refrain
from throwing tin cans and other rub

clean. We desire to have the streets
of the city of Kenosha in perfect order
at all times and to this end we ask the
aid of the people. The street DEPART

in earnest in demanding thorough

thing after cleaning up the city is to
keep it clean.

FOUR GIRLS
 IN ROOM OF
 A CH|NAMAN

PHOENIX, May l4.--Raiding the room of Tom Hok, an aged Chinaman, who lives on Madison street between First and Second streets, in what is known locally as Chinatown, City Officer Troutman this morning found four small school girls, ranging from to l2 years, in the room with Hok.
 For the past two weeks Marshal Moore has been receiving complaints about the actions of Hok, people living in that vicinity informing him that almost every day from one to four small girls entered Hok's room and after re- maining there a short time were seen to come out and generally start in the di- rection of some candy store.
 Over tho telephone this morning Moore received the "tip" that several small girls had just been seen to enter Hok s room and were still inside. Troutman went to the place at once and found the four small girls in Hok s com pany.
 Hok was brought to the city hall and is being held pending an investigation to determine whether or not he has taken any liberties with any of the children he has entieed into his place during the past two weeks.
 As far as can be learned today, Hok is not exactly right mentally and is harmless. It is said that he has recent ly been inviting littl school girls as they passed to enter his room, offering them money when they came inside.
 Marshal Moore is now trying to learn the names of all the little girls who have been seen to enter the place, and through their parents determine wheth. CT or not a charge of any kind should be preferred against Hok.

PROSPECTORS FIND
 RICH GOLD 0R[

KINGMAN, May 14--An immense ledge of gold bearing ore has been dis covered by two prospectors named Ford and Pitts in the Boulder Canyon of the Colorado river, about ten miles below Bonelli Ferry, south of St. Thomas. The vein is said to be more than ten feet in width and shows an outerop more than mile in length. The country is exceedingly rough, being cut by deep canyons and accessible only by burros. The trail from St. Thomas to Eldorado Canyon runs near the find and it was while travelling over this trail that the
 find was made. Many years ago pros )ectors found float in that section that hrowed gold and copper, but were un- able to get out on the mesas from the river to make thorough search for the vein. The new camp has been named Pittsford, after the owners.
 A Marsh came in from the Gold Bug mill yesterday, having been watchman at the property about a year. He re. ports that the mill is being removed from the Colorado river to the mine and that as soon as the power plant is com pleted in Kingman, wires will be strung to the mine and mill and the plant start ed up. Mir. Marsh is quite enthusiastic over the prospects of this company. He made mornings of the outcrops of four veins in the Gold Gug group and found very rich roe He believes there are large bodies of ore running $l00 to the ton in value in this group.
 Goldfeld men who have been at the property say it is the best they have seen in many years. The shaft on the property is being put in shape and the work of sinking deeper will soon be under way.
 Gustavus Scssinghaus, graduate of Columbia College, is in Kingman in the interest of the Orc Plata Company. He is to make thorough examination of the Orc Plata mines and then test the ores to ascertain the best method of saw ing the values in the ores. A large ton mage of ore from the mine will be run through the Vanderbilt and Gem mills and tests by all the well known methods will be made to ascertain the one that will make the best saving at minimum of cost. The mine has big orc reserve and if this ore can be milled at the mine at profit the stockholders may be as. sured of handsome dividends in the near future.

INSTANTLY KILLED
 BY ELECTRIC WIRE
JOHN ovERTAxER, WE'LL KNOWN IN WARREN DISTRICT, IS IN. sTANTLY KILLED AT THE GARD. NER SHAFT.

BIsBEE, May l4.-John overtaxer was instantly killed at the Gardenr shaft yesterday afternoon by coming in contact with live wire. At the time of his death the deceased was working on the 1000 foot level, where he had gone to do some repairing. He was borne to the Copper Queen hospital on stretcher by four men, who did not know he was dead until so informed by physician who had been summoned.
 John 0vertaxer had been in the dis trict for fifteen years and was well known. He was about forty-two years old, unmarried, and so far as could be learned last night has no relatives in the district. Overtaxer was a member of the Red Men and it is probable that the funeral services will be held under the auspices of that order.
 An inquest over the remains will be held this afternoon at 5 o clock by Jus. tiee Grier.
