 There was brought to the county
 hospital last Thursday from Chloride | | Chinaman named Charles Suey, old broken down and in the last stages o
 consumption. At one time this poor fellow was prosperous resturant
 keeper and during his years of pros
 perity fed more broken miners than
 all the other boarding house keepers
 in the county combined. Now that he
 is unable to work the county dads will
 see that Charley Suey's last days on
 earth are made as pleasant as possible
 and that he will want for nothing in
 the way of nursing and good care.

 News. reports that a party of Salt
 Lake gentlemen passed through St..
 George few days ago on their way to the Narrows of the Virgin to ascertain the feasibility of putting in big dam at that point and storing the flood

 While attempting to board train at Yucca, last Saturday night, William Lesuer, miner, was precipitated be- meath the wheels and his left leg crushed to a shapeless mass. Number seven was Jagged and the injured man sent to Needles, where his leg was amputated above the knee. Lesuer had been doing. assessment work on the mines owned by William Eshom and. in company of J. E. Bruce, went to Yucca Saturday with the intention of going to Kingman to spend the holidays. Lesuer is said to have worked in and around the mines at Chloride, but nobody now appears to know him.
 Last Sunday the Arizona Gold Mines company shipped bar of gold bullion to the mint that would make even old J. D. Rockefeller feel envious. The bar was taken out Tn few days run of the little mill and contained about 5,000$. Report that comes to us from the Bi-Metal would indicate that great ore is being obtained near the diorite wall to which drifting is now being done. Streaks of ore running into the thousands of dollars to the ton is cut daily, while the entire mass is said to be taking on high average Last week the water pipes at the mill froze up, so that the mill had to be closed down, but now it is running with big supply of water on hand It is understood that within the next few months grading will be commence ed for the big new mill that is to sup plant the present milling plant and that an incline will be driven into the big mass and work carried on by the caving system. The mine under pres- ent conditions can readily output 800 tons of ore daily, and on completion of the incline the output can be brought up to all demands.
 George Aitken, accompanied by his son and a driver, left here Monday morning last for Music Mountain, where they expected to do some as. sessment work. The first night they camped at Mays We'll, leaving there the following morning to cross the valley. Some distance down in the valley they lost the road and were soon laundering in the snow. The driver and young Aitken left the wag- on to try to find a road, but soon sep- arated and the driver reached Hack berry that night and returned to King man on train. The following morn- ing a search party was sent out, but so far nothing has been heard from them. Mr. Aitken is one of the old timers of this county and it is not ex- pected that any serious misfortune
