houses of this kind will be erected

 Thomas J. Grant, who resigned as
 superintendent of the Nevada Arizona 1 Gold Mines company, is now visiting
 the various district of the county look
 ing after some of the good things that
 he knows are to be had by the Observ-
 ing ones. Mir. Grant visited Chloride
 and Mineral Park this week and made
 an examination of several properties.
 He believes the Park to have a great
 future before it in a mining way.
 It is reported that the railroad con-
 pany is making tests on the waters from the wells in the south part of
 town to ascertain if the soda dis. charged from their treating plant was contaminating the waters. If they find it to be true they will make an ef- fort to clean out the impregnated ground and stop further deposit of the shines from the plant. At present these shines are being forced through the sewer, which carries the wastes to a point south of the submerged dam, in Railroad Canyon.
 Mrs. c. D. Richardson, who has been visiting with relatives at Union Pass the past several months, departed Thursday last by team to Mammoth, Arizona, where her husband is em- ployed as foreman. She will make the 600 mile journey alone over the moun- tains and deserts of Arizona. Husband and wife came over the road a few months ago, so she is familiar with the route, but then, the trip would be con- sidered hazardous undertaking for man, as it covers some of the worst portions of Arizona's deserts. The trip will take about twenty days to make.
 Henry Harding, one of the old pio- neer prospectors and miners of this county, committed suicide by shooting himself at White Hills Wednesday evening. The cause of the rash act is unknown. MT. Harding was in King man early this week and departed to Gold Basin by way of White Hills He probably arrived in the Hills Wednesday evening and shortly thereafter blew out his brains. Hard ing had been at work in Gold Basin the past year and had lease on one of the gold properties of that district. He was we'll known and liked through out the county.
 D. NJ. Martin, general manager of the Cotton Lands company, was at Phenix the past week strengthening out land matters. Several people who tried to file on lands in the Mohave | valley at the same time were informed | that the lands were not yet open for filing, although we understand that | some sort of notice to that effect was posted at Fort Mohave some time ago. | It is usual that when lands that have | been withdrawn are again thrown | open to entry public notice through | the newspapers is usually given, and | it is probable that it will be done in | the matter of the Mohave valley lands. | These lands are too valuable, or will | be when water is provided for them and the lands protected from overflow, to be thrown open without a notice given to the public.
 The rumor is again in circulation that the Clark people are to build a across Mohave county to a with the Jerome road, and | that the main line of the Clark road | will be brought across through St. | George, Utah, to a connection with | the old line at or near Moapa This | would bring this main line many miles nearer to the point where the proposed | line will take of through this part of | the county and would be over a most | feasible route. The line would pass down the Muddy valley and cross the Colorado river at Bonelli crossing, | where there is a natural bridge site, thence over the north end of the Ger bats to the Wallapai valley, whence it would pass on east over the old gov ernment survey to point south of Ash | Fork, thence to a connection with the present road, which would be stan dardized.
