 It is understood that no permanent
 injury will result.

 D. W. Ludy, of Oatman, George B. Ayers, Goldroad, J. W. Martin, King man, and MT. Johnson, of Needles, were the initiate victims at the meet ing of the local lodge of Elks last night. After the limitations an elegant banquet was partaken of.
 Capt. c. H. Thompson, we'll known in mining circles in Mohave county, has been chosen chairman of the Sierra Madre Club, at Los Angeles, which organization is to have charge of the entertainment of the Mining Congress, which meets in that city some time this spring.
 Owen McNeely, mine owner of the Todd Basin section, came over from his mines Thursday last and will leave today for California, where he is in- terested in real estate. He will visit the Yuma Indian reservation before returning to Kingman, and will look over the lands recently thrown open to entry and may make a try for a forty y-acre strip.
 Last Monday the local bank did one of the largest days business in its history, which shows the rapidly grow ing business interests of the county. Every month during the past year the volume of business has increased, and the increase this year promises to be in greatly increasing ratio. The min ing interests of the county are growing day by day and within six months it is expected that double the present force of miners will be employed in the mines of Wallapai district alone, while the forces in the other districts are expected to be greatly increased.
 The good work that has been already done by the Mohave County Chamber of Mines is being exempli- fled in the marking of the roads and trails of this county by the board of supervisors. The Chamber brought the matter before the board and they took action at once. The sign boards have been made of iron and are being placed at all diverging points on the roads of the county. This will be found of great convenience to the travelling public, and especially on the roads where there is an entire lack of water. The board of supervisors are to be comme nded for the manner in which they have undertaken this work.
 Senator Shoot, one of the desciples of Brigham Young, and senior senator from the Mormon state, is after slice of Arizona territory and has offered the suggestion as an amendment to the statehood bill. This is the last throw at the mocking bird that the people of Utah will have, and they are trying to improve the opportunity. Should Ari- zona get into the Union without gIv- ing up slice of it's territory the peo- pie of Utah realize that they can never hope to get that northern strip, and therefore they will make every effort to hold up the statehood bill in the endeavor to saddle it with this roor- back rider. Arizona cannot afford to give up any part of its territory, and that portion lying to the north of the Grand Canyon.
