 A. F. Harris and family departed to Los Angeles, yesterday evening, where they expect to make their future home. MT. and Mrs. Mark Force came over from Oatman to bid them good bye. MT. and Mrs. Harris have been residents of this county many years and their many friends here re- gret to bid them good bye.
 Hon. A. Cornwall came up from his ranch on the Big Sandy a few days ago to attend to business matters. He is much impressed with the possibii- ties attending the bringing in of a large volume of water with which to irrigate the high ground along the Big Sandy creek, and is of the opinion that it would make of that valley a paradise. Many streams empty into the main creek from the Aquarius mountains, coming down from the snowy regions of the Mount Hope sec tion, and the canyons through which these streams run can be easily dam med, conserving the waters tor the irrigation of at least twenty thousand acres of rich land.
 Dr. Shaw, of the Truxton Canyon Indian school, has been making a study of trachoma among the Wal lapais and is taking steps to prevent the spread of the disease. Rooms will be obtained in Kingman, where all Indians afflicted will be treated. Many of the older Indians ara prac- tically blind from the disease and the spread among the members of the tribe have been rapid, owing to their uncleanly habits. It is remarkable that the disease has not spread to the whites, on account of the employment of the squaws as menials among the families of the towns in this county. Every precaution should be taken to prevent the spread of the disease, as once it fastens itself on the individual it will be hard fight to eradicate.
 This week the board of supervisors posted reward of 2OOs for the appre- henslon of the Indian murderer, Queho, who recently shot and killed Dr. L. W. Gilbert, at Goldberg mill The Indian is still at large, although several posses of whites and Indians are in pursuit. One peculiarity of the Piute Indian murderers is that when they have committed several revolting crimes they take to the hills, and, al- though out many months, never have been known to commit another crime after learning that some one is on their trail. It is quite possible that Queho has had many chances to pick of lone white men in the hills of this county and Clark county, Nevada. but no other murder has so far been, re- ported.
 W. F. Ferguson came in from Cali fornia, where he has been employed by the Interior Department in the h. dian service. He reports that a sur veyor was run of the job below To- pock by an Indian a few days ago, and that an Indian had been seen going down the river on a raft, which gives rise to the belief that Queho, the Pi- ute Indian who murdered Dr. L. w. Gilbert, is on his way south to mingle with the Chemehuevis, where he ex- poets to be protected. Queho was a boat builder for the whites on the up- per part of the river and naturally would stay with the water instead of taking chances in the interior, with which part of the country he is unac- quainted. If his trail can be taken up it is probable that Wallapai Indians will go out after him for the reward that has been offered.
