Mohave County miner., 1909-11-20

O. D. M.. Gaddis was elected vice
 president of the Postmasters Associf
 tion of Arizona, at the meeting held i
 PhenlX last week. Mr. Gadds Ina
 been postmaster at Kingman abou
 eight years and stands high with hi
 co-laborers.
 Mir. Joseph, of the Pauly Jail com
 pany, has force of men at work put
 ting the new cells in Mohave county
 new jail building. The work is being
 rushed along at a rapid rate and it il
 expected the building will be read,
 for occupancy the latter part of nex
 month.
 Judge and Mrs. H. F. Best are ir
 kingman on their way to southern
 California, where they will spend q
 few months with relatives. Judge
 Best is president of the Treasure Hill
 mines, at the foot of Stockton Hill,
 where he is opening up one of the
 best mining properties in that section.
 James Bone, owner of the Summit and Silver Monster mines, is in King man. Mir. Bone has sale of the property under consideration and is here awaiting the arrival of the part ies that are to take it over. The veins in the two properties are very large and carry good values in gold and silver.
 One of the needs of Kingman is bakery and laundry. Run on the prop CT plan both would pay well. King man people have to send their laundry to Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Albuq cirque. Few families do all their own baking, and as result the Chinese restaurants and the Harvey people are largely patronized, while pastry is purchased in Los Angeles. Keep the money at home and put in bakery and laundry.
 Superintendent Barton, of the Gold Grown mines, in the Union Pass section, was in Kingman a few days this week. Work is progressing on the mines and the vein will be en- countered in the long drift by the first of December. Should the same grade of ore be found in this drift that shows in the outcrop and cross. cuts on the surface, extensive devel- | opment of the property will be under taken The Gold Grown shows splen- did outcrop of milling ore, and is well situated for economic mining. Mr. Barton, who is in charge of the prop. 'rty for the company, is a thorough miner and the expenditure of money 1 under his direction is sure to bring results.
 Last Sunday while the editor of the MINER was at Topock he learned that about twenty experimental date palms had been set out by the railroad com. pany and the government and that all of them were doing nicely. Some of ,he imported plants were in bearing or the first time this year, while the older plants had been bearing the past two years. One of the plants had bunch of dates on it that would weigh fully one hundred pounds. The greater part of the dates had become lpened more than month ago, while he larger variety have not yet begun % ripen. Topock is really the coldest md hottest place on the river, which Toulk lead to the impression that a inc variety of dates could be raised at Ilmost any place between the Black Canyon and Yuma.
 Mrs. Harvey Hubbs returned from San Bernardno few days ago, where ne has been attending at the sick bed 'f her brother, M. F. Wilkinson. She 'eports that MT. Wilkinson was op. 'rated on at Casa Loma hospital, one eg being amputated, the operation 'eing entirely successful. It is now that the sufferer will recover. lr. Wilkinson had been suffering the 'ast few years from what was believed o be rheumatism in one of his knees, 'ut which was lately diagnosed as tu- of the knee. Tobe (as he is known here) was one of the arly settlers of this county and was he discoverer of the Ben Doran mine.
