Mike Coleman, who went to Los An geles several months ago suffering

 J. D. Richardson, owner of several groups of mining claims in the Union Pass section, is a visitor in Kingman for the first time in a year. He re- ports the mining industry in his part of the county progressing and is firm in the belief that with proper develop ment the district will be one of the largest gold producers in the territory.
 It is probable that when the Board of Equalization of this county meets next month there will be a consider able boosting of the property values as returned to the Assessor by the own CTS. Mohave county should be a second class county and our county dads make a mistake when they allow this oppor- tunity to pass in the matter of putting the powder under the returned valua- tions of property.
 Dan $. Richards came in from Vivian yesterday and departed to Chloride, where he is look ing after mining busi- ness. It is understood that he and Charles Metcalfe are soon to com mence the construction of houses on their lands in the Wallapai valley and sink wells for purposes of irrigation. They have located their lands in the richest part of the valley and at points where the probability of finding water is strong.

 The survey of the railroad from Lund, Utah, to a connection with the Western Railway of Arizona, is under wov Tba road rill r,,p ,brouob Ct George, down the Virgin river to Littlsfield. thence to St. Thomas and will cross the Colorado river at old Stones ferry. At this point there is a natural crossing, the bedrock coming up in the middle of the river and on each side of the river is a natural abutment. Nature has surely paved the way for a bridge crossing at that point. Work on the grade in Utah is expected to commence early in the fall.
 Fred Nobmann, who at Cne time resided at Blackberry, where he and wife conducted hotel and engaged in cattle raising, died at his home in Los Angeles last Monday evening, aged about S2 years. Fred Nobmann and his good wife were pioneers of Mohave county. having first taken up their residence at Quail Springs, some dis tance north of Chloride, nearly forty years ago, later removing to Hack berry. Among the old pioneers of the county every one was accounted their friend, and when the news came of the death of this genial old fellow sincere of regret was heard on all sides. May his last rest be a peaceful one.
 Anson H. Smith returned last Tues day morning from Detroit. where he the local lodge of Elks at the annual grand lodge reunion. The gathering of Elks at Detroit was a notable one, more grand lodge mem bers registering than ever before in the history of the order. The net in- crease in membership during the year was close to 3O,OOO which indicates the wonderful growth of this order. Little in the way of new legislation was proposed but many innovations were inaugurated that will be placed before the next grand lodge, which meets at Atlantic City. The weather was extremely warm and sultry, which fact kept the attendance down, the members from the eastern cities only being represented by delegates and drill teams. About 30,0O0 mem bers took part in the big parade. Every lodge in Arizona, with one ex- cention. was represented.
