Mohave County miner., 1910-10-22

Peter Caffery, one of the old time
 miners of this district, was brought ir
 from Layne Springs Thursday last
 quite i'll. He is recovering quite
 rapidly and is now able to be on the
 streets.
 George T. Duncan and wife, of
 Hack berry were Kingman visitors this
 week, and while here made transfer of all their stock interests and ranch to Ralph Bulkely and Hi. linus. The interests were quite extensive, it be- ing generally understood that it would take more than 5O.OOOs to touch them. Mir. Duncan concluded not to quit the business but at once purchased the in- terests of Mrs. Esther Starkey in the Grass Springs ranch and cattle, Mrs. Starkey coming on from Los Angeles to close the deal.
 The many friends of Miss Tessie Clark will be surprised to learn that she was welded to Albert E. Wallace at Prescott, the 18th of last July, while they were at that place on a visit. The marriage was kept a secret until about a week ago when the young lady informed her parents of the mar riage from Los Angeles, where the couple have been making their home. Mir. Wallace is chief clerk in the of- fee of a big Los Angeles coDtI actor and is said to be an exemplary young fellow. The many friends of the cou- pie in Kingman will wish them long and prosperous married life.
 Jesse B. Wright, the surveyor who is employed by the government to survey g townships in the Wallapai valley anG the upper Sandy country, was in Kingman the first of the week. Mir. Wright is in the field with nine men. At present the work is progress ing in the region south of Blackberry. The contract calls for 2OO0 miles of lines to be run, and as about seven miles constitutes days work it will take nearly year to complete it. A car load ot iron posts, each capped with brass, has been received at Hack berry which will be set as corners. Those used for township lines are 3 inches square and weigh 30 pounds. It takes a wagon load for days work. The brass cap is marked ''U. s. Land Survey, s25O penalty for removal" The posts on the section corners are inches square, while quarter. corners are 1 inch square. The country in the valley near Kingman will be the last to be surveyed.
 The census return of this county gives the poorest showing of any county, not because there has been a decrease in population, but because of the incompetency of the enumerator having the most populous district un- der his charge. The population of the county as given by the twelfth census was something over 3,4OO, while the thirteenth census will give us little over 3,773, an increase of three hun dred. We learn that between King man, Goldroad, Oatman, the Colorado river bottoms and Union Pass there was an enumeration of 1000. Now does any one believe there are but one thousand people in all the balance of the county, embracing Littlefeld, all the north part of the county, Gold Basin, White Hills, Chloride, Virginia and other camps in the river range, Mineral Park, Layne Springs, Todd and Union Basins, Cerbat, Stockton Hill, c. O. D., Blackberry, Peach Springs, the cattle country south of Peach Springs, the Big Sandy, Signal. Copperville, Yucca, Cedar, Planet and all points along the Santa Fe between Peach Springs and the Colorado river. We believe that these sections had far in excess of two thousand people. It looks to us as though the county had suffered a great injustice, but just now we will have to stand it, as we have no remedy unless it is to obtain a new enumeration.
