Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1910-04-30

Wednesday evening, at Seattle. The
bride is a native daughter of thi!
county and the groom is we'll known
here. Their many friends wish then
a long and happy married life.
Robert E. Morrison, of Prescott
one of the best known attorneys Of
the territory, is in Kingman in the
interest of his ellen {, Charles W.
Lynch, in the partition suit of the C.
o. D. Mining company. 1t is probable
that the cause will be settled out of
court and an amicable understanding
arrived at. The suit involved the
working of the property, the company
owning two-thirds and Mr.. Lynch one
third.
The people of Yucca believe that
within the next few months mining
south and east of that place will take
on the proportions of boom and that
it will become one of the big forward
ing centers of the county. Yucca is
well situated as a supply point for all
the country south and east, which in
cludes McCracken, Signal, Cedar,
Chemehuevis mountains and Bill
Williams Fork. The roads throughout
that section are good and heavy team
ing can be readily done over them.
Yucca people are figuring on run
ming a telephone line from that place
to Kingman for public use. There are
now lines of telephone running out of
Yucca to McCracken and Cedar, which
might be connected up with this place
10y the building of line from Yucca.
The necessary wire is now on hand
and all that would be needed would be
the poles to cover the distance. The
building of the line would be a great
to the people of Kingman
and Yucca and would soon pay for its
installation.
The work of preparing the ground
for the reception of crops in the Mo
have valley is being rushed along RAP
idly and it is expected that several
thousand acres will be seeded this
spring and large area gotten reaCy
for late fall sewing. The Cotton Land
company has all the railroad lands IN
der option and is selling acreage with
water right for about sixty dollars per
acre. This is lower than any acreage
land put on the market by the govern
ment and ought to bring in many set
tiers. The lands are the richest in the
territory and are suitable for almost
any kind of crop.
AT Williams, the jury in the cause
of the Territory of Arizona VS. Woods
and Neal, charged with the murder of
a detective by the name of Schwartz,
Monday evening last found the de-
not guilty. It is thought
that the verdict was based more on
sympathy than evidence. Neal and
Woods were raised in Flagstaff and
Williams and their people are now
living there. Much of the evidence
was very strong against the defend !
ants, ex-ranger Olds swearing tn; t
Woods took him to the place where |
the body of Schwartz was buried and |
told him that he and Neal had shot |
him and buried the body there.
The Western Railway of Arizona is |
its bridges along the
line from McConnico to Chloride for
the purpose of putting on heavier loco
motives and doing larger business.
At Chloride surveyors are running a |
new grade line from a point south of
the depot to the Tennessee mine. |
The road will pass on the south side of
the main wash and will be close to the
other shipping properties of that sec
ton. 1t is evident that the company
soon to put on a daily service
between Kingman and Chloride and |
that the town of Chloride will be made |
the terminus instead of the present |
terminal.
Something like eighteen homesteads
Of 800 acres each have been taken up
in Wallapai valley and within a short !
time wells will be drilled in an effort /;
to obtain a supply of water. 1t is
probable that large area will soon
be farmed by the dry farming method J
and that only sufficient water for do
nestle purposes will be needed, al
though it is possible that artesian wa
ter may be found. Along the rim rock |
Of the valley water can be obtained, |
as this rim rock is the usual water
rock" of this country, the volcanic
tuff. With well directed effort Wall |
