Mohave County miner., 1911-03-04

c. c. Hutchinson, one of the largest
 sheep growers in the territory, is in
 Kingman looking after his interests.
 W. E. Deity, the we'll known Pheni2
 mining engineer, is Kingman visitor
 today. He will probably look over
 mining property in this district for
 one of his numerous clients.
 M. w. Mosgrove, editor of the Stan- dard, was Kingman visitor the first of the week. Mir. Musgrove has an option on the Scanlon property, in the Lost Basin district, said to be one of the best properties in that section of the territory. MT. Scanlon and as- sociates have done large amount of work on the mines and now have them in very good shape.
 O. B. Amsden, general manager of the Goldbug Mining company, accom- panied by his son, Dan., visited King man this week. Mr. Amsden reports thyt there is big s:are on all through Weaver and Minnesota districts and the Eldorado Canyon sections over the running at large of the Indian murder CT Queho. It is his belief that more murders will be D rpeIrated if this outlaw is not soon apprehended.
 Much complaint has been made of sheep owners allowing their herds to use the county roads in travelling over the mountain, the sheep rolling rock ard debris from the mountain side into the roads, making them impas- sible to vehicles. There is no reason for the driving of sheep over the the roads, as there is little or no feed along the public highways and other better passes may be found across the hills.
 The board of supervisors has had a survey made by county surveyor, P. of the tract of land near the power house, in the west part of Kingman and will offer lots in that addition for sale at public auction soon. The addition has been named the Bowers Addition, in honor of the late owner of the property. Some of the lots are excellent for residence purposes and will bring a ready sale.
 John Byron returned this week from Los Angeles, where he arranged for the bringing in of a large drilling plant that he is to erect in some part of the Wallapai valley for the purpose of sinking a we'll to a depth of 1000 feet or more, or until he has demon strated the possibility of artesian water in that section. Mir. Byron believes the Wallapai valley to be one of the richest spots on earth and that a few years more will see great fields of waving grain all over it.
 President Taft this week signed the bill giving to the Chuckawalla Devel- opment company the right to construct a dam across the Colorado river at Pyramid Canyon, a few miles above Parker. The people of Parker have been opposed to the building of the dam by private enterprise, hUlding that it was the duty of the government to build the dam for the benefit of the lands on each side of the river. The building of the dam will back the water of the Colorado river onto the valley in this county.
 Dr. Toler R. White, physician at Truxton Canyon Indian school, has just from Phenix, where he took a course of instruction in the treat ment of trachoma. The spread of this disease among the Indians and Mexicans of the southwest the past two years has caused great uneasiness among the medical fraternity and the government is using unusual means to stamp it out. It is understood that about seventy per cent of the Wallapai Indians have the disease in some form.
 An effort is being Tade among the men of Mohave and Yava- pal counties to build a road suitable to travel between Kingman and Prescott. Yavapai county is to build to Nelson and Mohave county will construct the road through this county. The building of the road would be of great value to both coun- ,ies and the people ought to get to- yether to that end. Yavapai and Mo nave county would probably reap more benefits from good roads than any other part of the territory and the should do everything in heir power to build the roads.
