 The Santa Fe railroad has made 8 new rating on lumber, applying to all shipments from southern California ports. This rate does not effect the rate now in force, but simply makes it apply to shipments from Santa Moni- ca, Redondo, and other ocean shipping points, instead of to Los Angeles. The rate effects traffic as far east as Albu querque.
 The order for daily train between Kingman and Chloride, which was to go into effect Tuesday, has been with drawn and nothing is known as to when the new train service will go ln- to effect. A daily train between King man and the Lead City is a necessity, but the railroad officials contended that there was not enough business to warrant more than a three-times-a- week service. Large ore shipments are now being made from the mines along the line of the road and these should be enough to make the railroad company reconsider its recent order.
 Charley linus, who was born about twenty-five years ago on the Big Sandy, is creating some stir in police circles in Los Angeles. where he has carried away the riding trophy from all the mounted officers of the city. At Agricultural Park, this week, where officers for the mounted squad were being tried out, he made a per feet score. He challenges any officer in the force, weighing 40 pounds or more to contest of skill in riding. Mir. linus, who weighs more than 200 pounds, was formerly one of the ex- pert range riders in the eastern part Of this county. He visited with rela- tives in Kingman last summer.
 Micky Dolan, well known in this county among the old timers, died at Wenden, Yuma county, on the Sd of this month. He had been ailing the past two years and his death was not unexpected.

After leaving this county he made his home on the des- ert of Yuma county. where he discov- cred and worked a group of mines many years. He could have sold many times for snug sum, but always asked impossible prices for his property whenever buyer appeared.
 P. W. Sales, who has been prospec- ting in and around the Oatman sec tion, went over to Searchlight early this week and regaled the editor of the Bulletin with a story of the Pat Driscoll variety. According to the Bulletin a cattleman named Hiram Smith, twenty-seven long years ago, took band of cattle to Fort Mohave and sold them to the government, re- ceiving in gold the sum of l6,000S, re- fusing the customary pay check from the hapless army officer. This six teen thousand dollars he tucked away in his inside pocket and hied himself away toward Kingman. Not arriving at his destiantion a search party was sent out and Smith was found in dying condition in the shade of Bound ary Cone. With his dying breath he told the party that he had buried the bunch of gold doubloons in spot that he had marked with an olla and three trusty or rusty horseshoes and then he passed to the great beyond. Search had been made for this gold, but the olla and the rusty horseshoes were never found until Sales ran into them a few weeks ago. Although Mir.
