Mohave County miner., 1910-04-09

| ment company, against John k. Tom
 linson and W. K. Ridenour. This
 cause grew out of the failure of the
 Tawa Development company, which
 had options on the Copper Giant and
 other mines, in the Cottonwood dis
 trict. When the company failed it
 owed a large amount of money to
 laborers and others, upon which liens
 were fixed against the property. It
 was found when the bankruptcs pro-
 ceedings were instituted that the
 company had failed to comply with the
 corporation laws of the territory and
 the attachments and sales of the
 property under execution were allow
 ed to stand. The matter was appealed
 from the decision of the lower court
 and when reviewed by the supreme
 court it was found that the appellants
 had failed to make a record, and the
 appeal was dismissed. It IS now quite
 probable that the owners of the prop
 erty will operate it, as the group is one of the most promising in the county.
 Just how the many people from the outside were housed during the term of court just passed is mystery to the average man. Prior to the session of court every room in the town was taken and the jurors and litigants brought here numbered oyer one hun dred. Many people coming in here have to sit up in the all night places around town, and others get out on the first train west at night and return from Needles or other points the fol- lowing morning. That Kingman needs a good hotel with accommodations adequate to the needs of the public is recognized by all, but no one in King man appears to be inclined to make the effort to get a big hostelry established here.
 Henry Lovin and Robert Zuver have taken contract for the delivery of one hundred tons of large pebbles to the Gold Road and Tom Reed mills for use ln their tube mills. Heretofore these pebbles have been shipped in from Sweden and Norway and have cost a very high figure for the deliv- cry. It was found that the pebbles were rather small and did the work slowly and imperfectly, so Messrs. Lovin and Zuver proposed to supply the companies with pebbles from the !! mesas along the Colorado river of a better grade. These pebbles have been weathered and are equally as hard as the Swedish fiints and better suited to the work.
 The White steam car of the City Stables had a narrow escape from ! serious accident last Tuesday morning. | It was running down the grade into the canyon, south of town, when a rock in the center of the road caught the stearing rod and buckled it so that 1t was useless. One wheel O. the climbed the high bank and the car turned turtle. Luckily the driver managed to alight from the car without injury. The damaged car was brought back to town, where it was found that the only damage done was to the stearing rod and the breaking of the wooden frame of the toneau. The repairs were made and the car sent to Gold Road, making the trip in record time.
 Last Monday the board of super Visors examined and accepted the new jail building and formally turned it over to the sheriff. It is now being used by that official. The building is one of the most substantial in the ter ritory, the walls being of reinforced concrete and the cells of case harden ed steel. The lover floor is divided up into living quarters for the jailer and the upper floor contains the cells. The outside appearance of the building is pleasing and when connected up with the new 5O,OOOs courthouse will be one of the attractions of the town, to some.
