postoFElcs Nssos ROOM.
increased Patronage Crowds Present ouarters-Rush of Winter Makes
 Laruer Place Imperative.

A marked increase in the business of the El Centro postofiice dates from the first of the month. With the re turn of many wanderers from summer vacation fields has come also an influx of new people, until the demands on present quarters are such that more room is imperative.
 It is anticipated that immediately after the close of the present quarter this pOstohice will be raised to the position Of a third class office, and in such case it is understood that Uncle Sam will make some provision for rem tai quarters. Heretofore the office room has been supplied by the post master.
 The postohice at present has more than 100 boxes in use. and list of 1O5 patrons desiring lock boxes is now in the hands of postmaster Col by. When new quarters are secured doubtless 50 or more lock boxes will be placed at the disposal of patrons.
 It is the desire of the postmaster to get into such quarters that an ar rangemeDt can be made whereby there will be provided a lobby open to the public at all hours, so that pa- irons with lock boxes can have ac- cess to them at any time of day or night.
 It may not be generally known, but the business done by the El Centro postoffice has been for almost year a volume sufficient to place it in the class of Presidential offices. One year ago the quarter closed with the total business lacking only 45 of reach ing the amount demanded for such a classification.
 As a fourth-class office is unable to issue foreign money orders, this has been a great inconvenience here {; but with it's access to the list of third class offices the El Centro office will secure this and other privileges now denied.

Judge M. Redman Disappears.

Judge M. Redman, one of the best known citizens of Kingman disappear ed from his home last Monday morn- ing, since which time no trace of him has been found. although diligent search has been made. At the time of his disappearance he had been quite ill and it is feared that he wandered away while temporarily insane. He recently came in from his camp in the Union Pass section and told friends that he intended to remain here for some months. A systematic search of the surrounding country is being made. In his weakened state, it is ar gued, that it would be impossible for him to go far and the belief is general that his body will be found in some out of the way place close to town. Every rumor is being followed up dili- gently and it is to be hoped that some clue will be found today.
 Judge Redman is about sixty-tive years of age, grey hair, high forehead, long reddish grey mustache, thin face; walks with stoop ina right shoulder, and is about six feet in night. Talks with slight German accent. A reward of fifty dollars will be paid for inform ation that will lead to his discovery.
 Judge Redman is or.was one of the most amiable, generous hearted men in the world and has scores of friends in this county. Their hope is that he will be found alive and we'll, but fear the worst.

Imbortant to
 Subscribers

Under a recent ruling of the PostoGce Department all subscribers to newspapers must be paid in advance, or the priv ilege of sending papers through the mails as second class matter will be revoked. This week the MINER was notified by the Kinsman postofice that this rule would be enforced on and after the first day of April.
 The Miner will comply with the rule and this week bills are being sent to all subscribers in arrears. We hope to re- tain all our old subscribers and that they will at once remit the amount due to retain their names on our mail list.
 The date to which each subscriber IS paid is plainly marked on each paper, therefore you should look at the date and if in arrears should make remittance at once. SMITH & SAWYER.

Prohibition in Illinois.

Last Tuesdays election in Illinois was awaited by the people of this country with great deal of interest. It was the first fight in the states in which the brewers and retail liquor interests were pitted directly against prohibition. The results were favor- able to the prohibition element, 8S7 towns and precincts out of 1Ol4 going dry as result. The liquor interests had three hundred speakers in the field, among which were many min lsters, and the fight was made on the plea of curtailing personal liberty of individuals. The result of the cleo tion is the closing up of HOO saloons, out of 5000 formerly in operation. There are one hundred and two coun- ties in the state and so far thirty-six are totally dry, and nineteen practi- cally dry, leaving only forty-seven wet counties. The results of the elections have disclosed to the liquor interests the fact that the people are wholly against the maintainance of the dives and propose to drive them out, and that sooner or later saloons will have to be operated under laws that per- mits of no sales to men who drink to excess.

A representative of the Pat Driscoll estate syndicate, direct from New York City, was in Kingman this week locking up the property and vast moneyed interests belonging to that great estate. He brought with him typewriter copy of the story that went the rounds of the press a few years ago detailing the eccentric man. ner of living of this Arizona million aire, of the vast wealth realized from the mines at Chloride, and his custom of walking over before breakfast daily from his home in Ash Fork to the mines at Chloride. As the distance between Ash Fork and Chloride is about l5O miles, and although reputed to be great walker he should have worked up an excellent appetite by the time he reached the mines. But the heirs are net taking this into con- sideration. They are looking for the millions that this peculiar old charac- ter left behind, and there is no reason to doubt that he left it behind, as no one has ever been accused of taking anything with him to the place that Pat Driscoll is now popularly supposed to inhabit. And while the whole bus- mess is myth no one should interfere with the pleasure of the Pat Driscoll syndicate in searching for u e mythical millions of this mythical old miner, who would undoubtedly have left mill- ions to his millions of heirs had he only struck the right lead among the great veins of gold and silver of Mo- have county.
 G. w. Beecher was called to Phenix last Saturday by the sudden and criti- cal illness of Mrs. Beecher. A tele- gram was received from there We'd nesday night conveying the informa- tion that Mrs. Beecher had died the night before of cancer of the stomach. The funeral took place in Phenix Thursday. Mrs. Beecher was one of the pioneer women of this county, having come here in the early seven- ties. She was known and respected by all the old timers and her death will be generally regretted. She leaves besides husband five children, Mesdames T. F. and J. s. Withers, Gladys, Ruth and Sumner Beecher. Following the resignation of Fred w. Morrison, the board of supervisors, last Monday, filled the vacancy by al = pointing w. G. Blakely, the appoint ment to take effect on the first day of May. Judge Blakely has been district attorney of Mohave county so many years that it will not be amiss to the people of Mohave county to again fird him occupying the old rooms in the courthouse. Tho many friends of Fred Morrison regret the move he is mak- ing, but all wish him the best of good luck in his new home in Los Angeles.
 E. M. Carrow this week received half dozen naval orange trees which have been sent out to the ranch on the Big Sandy. If the experiment of or ange growing is successful more trees will be put in and the sylvan Sandy may become one of the greatest orange sections of the territory. Oranges have been grown on Bill Williams Fork, but the owners of the ranch allowed the trees to die out before coming into full bearing.
 Carl Krook, who represented this county in the last legislature, but who is now farming and mining on the Big Sandy, was an attendant at this term of the district court.
