MohaVe County Courthouse Bill.

Thursday last Congressman Cameron introduced large number of bills af- fecting Arizona, among which was one authorizing Mohave county to issue bonds in the sum of 6O,OOOS for a courthouse. This bill was combined with number of other bills and lost in the general omnibus bill uring the last congress. It is possible that the bill will go through and that before June it will be law. In she event of its passage we hope that the work on the courthouse will be rushed with all possible haste. The present structure is not only disgrace to county of the magnitude of Mohave, but a men, ace to all the important records in the building. A handsome stone structure should adorn the present site within the next twelve months.

Dempsey D. Powell Acquitted.

Dempsey B. Powell, accused of the killing of Dewitt Milligan, at Cherry, Yavapai county, Arizona, on the 3Oth of August, 1909, was tried before a jury and acquitted late Tuesday night. The trial had lasted two days and about sixty witnesses were examined on behalf of the territory and defense. Ex-Attorney General E. S. Clark and Henry E. Ashurst conducted the de- fense, while District Attorney Henry D. Ross, of Yavapai, and D. w. O'Sul- livan conducted the prosecution. The case was ably handled and so confident was the defense of acquittal that little effort was made to surpass any evil dence that might be derogatory to the defense, believing that a full and honest statement would be the best course to follow.
 The killing of Milligan is said to have grown out of the arrangement of Powell and wife, Mrs. Powell being a sister to Milligan. When the two men met after the filing of divorce proceedings a quarrel ensued and Powell shot Milligan through the right arm, the bullet dividing, one part ranging upward and lodging on the outside of the shoulder blade.
 Milligan was taken to Prescott, where he died about a month later from sceptic pneumonia as a result of the wound.
 Fully one hundred Yavapai county people attended the trial, many being brought over as witnesses and others interested in the outcome of the case. The trial was brought to this county on a change of venue, it being under stood that considerable feeling having developed in the matter in Yavapai county.

Oatman Library Dedication.

Last Saturday evening the people of Oatman dedicated their new library hall with fitting ceremonies, winding up with great ball and supper. The building is one of the handsomest little structures that ever adorned a min ing camp and is elegantly fitted up. It is the purpose of the founders to supply it with all the latest news papers, magazines and periodicals and make it the gathering place for all the people of the surrounding country. The hall will be used as a place of amusement. A fine little stage has been put in and the room well seated. It is purposed to obtain good attrac- tions, as well from the travelling shows as from the local talent. The people of Oatman and the Tom Reed company erected and furnished the building and they are to be complimented on the manner in which the work has been carried out.
 The dedication of the library drew great crowd of people from King man, Needles and other surrounding towns. From Kingman went the greater crowd composed of the fol- lowing people:

 The big automobile trucks of the Great Western Transportation con- pany have been breaking roads out of Kingman this week and are getting along nicely. One of the big cars has gone as far as the Mcguire ranch and has greatly improved the road bed. It is the intention of the company to make separate road from the Ma guire place to Little Meadows, from which point the road over the noun , tain will be so improved that the ma chimes can be run into Goldroad. The greater part of the distance to Little Meadows offer small difficulties to these machines and it is expected that a week or more will bring the desired results. The engines in use in the machines are being tried out and ap- pear to be working successfully. Every part of the machine will be given a thorough trial before the cars are put on the market. Should any change be found necessary it will be made here and tried out. There is little doubt of the complete success of the big machines and it is probable that they will be put into active operation in the ore carrying trade be- tween the mines of the county and the railroad.

 Dr. George is working two miners in his property a short distance north of the Hercules. The shaft is down 90 feet and will be driven to the loo when the vein will be cut to the foot wall. The vein is fully 2e feet wide, the ore on the loot wall carrying the best values. The shaft was sunk along the line of the hanging wall on ac- count of the softness of the gangue matter. Mir. George alone sank the shaft 85 feet. breaking the ground and windlassing out his own dirt. The outcrop of the vein on the hanging wall shows values ranging into the thousands of dollars, while the entire width of the vein gives milling values.

trachan. Persia never did produce
much of the so-called Persian lamb
but as Persians have for years bought
up the tight curled black skins in
Afghanistan and marketed them the
trade name of "Persan lamb" will no

Excellent tight curled black skins
are produced in Texas by crossing
Kara-Kul rams with our American Lin
coins and Cotswolds, and it is safe
to predict that the Leicester and
Welsleydales will give fully as good
fur il not better. A three-quarter
bred Texas Kara-Kul Shropshire skin
recently produced in Texas was priced
at $40 by furriers in Chicago and
half breed Kara4Kuls, Lincoln and
Cotswold lambskins will bring even
more, which is due to the difference
in lustre between the Shropshire and

There is a town of Kara-Kule, which
is on the railroad running east from
Krasnowotsk, on the eastern shore OF
the Caspian sea, to Merv, and thence
to Andishan, not far from Tashkent,
and many graded Arab broadtails
have been brought from there from
the interior Of Bokhara and the Kisel-
Kurn and Kara-Kurn desert for ex.
portation to Afghanistan, Persia.
Caucasus and of THO late years Euro
pean Russia, and now the name Kara
Kul is used entirely to designate the
Arab sheep.
That the Arab is the original
broadtail from which all broadtail
breeds descend is an indisputable fact
and it is pity than this hardy. fur
producing and most lustrous and
highly augmented member Of the Ovine
family has been allowed to become
nearly extinct, thanks to the absence
in Asia of woven wire fences, which
make it almost impossible to prevent
the animal from becoming contamin-
ated with other classes of sheep.
One need but look at genuine
Arab lambskin and compare it with
one containing even a small per cent
of the blood from some other breea
to realize what the world is about to
lose and why the precious Arab furs
often adorn the heads of the rulers

shah of Persia and the emirs of Box
hara, Turkestan and Afghanistan.
alongside the costliest rugs and oil
paintings, is treat that those of us
who have been permitted to view
them will not soon forget.
There are not many that can afford
to wear full blood Arab fur, but
millions wear fur that owes it's beauty
to the Kara-Kul strain it contains.
In some cases only little as twelve
and one-half per cent will produce
magnificent fur, as is the case with
the gray Krimmer produced by the
Tartars of Crimea when crossing
half breed Kara-Kul rams with com.
mon white Russian long wool sheep.
The black Astrachan fur, named after
the Russian province Astrachan. is
produced in a similar manner, but
it takes more of the Kara-Kul blood
than is the case with the Krimmer,
as the color sought must be black.
The loose and open curls of the
Astrachan lambskin are due to the
particular white long wool blood which
enters into it's formation.
We obtain similar results in this
country by crossing a Kara-Kul ram
with a black faced Highland eve.
The Persian lambskin produced in
Bokhara. Turkestan and Afghanistan
does not differ from the Astrachan.

sheep. The governor says AMI invest1'

enormous profit in the production OF
expensive furs. The plan has been
tried in Texas and has proven most
successful. with these sheep in
North Dakota" says Governor Burke
every foot of our bad lands could
be utilizezd for grazing purposes and
the whole western portion OF the state
could be converted into magnificent
pasture ground
The governor has received mum
Der of communications from Dr.. c. C
Young. DR.. Young imported the first
aid only herd of Karakul sheep ever
brought into the United States. His
father, who had been engaged in fur
raising in Russia for rs years. was
unable to export any full blood Kara
Kul rams from Bokhara, but Dr.. Young
took up the work in this country in
1893. and finally, with the assistance
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, brought
five rams and ten ewes to Texas on
December 4. 1908. This flock has in
creased to 81 head, and tests are in
progress throughout the country to
prove that American breeders not only
can compete with Asiatic in raising
Persian lamb. Astrackan and Krim'
mer furs, but can excel foreign rivals.
The department of agriculture already
has begun the final experiment. and
DR.. Young himself is receiving the
assistance of the American Breeders
association.
In his communication TO Governor
Burke DR.. Young says:
At one tina Arab sheep were found
in a wild state in the semi-dependent
Khanate of Bokhara, Central Asia.
but today one sees them in small
numbers in the Kishlacks of the
Kisel-Kurn and Kara-Kurn desert,
which extends for five hundred miles
north of Bakhara, in western Tur-
kestan.
Bokarans says that several cen.
turtles ago the small Arab was do
mesticated with great difficulty, and
not until the animal became seriously
annoyed by hunters did it leave the
arid regions of Bokhara. Some w.
beck authorities on Kara-Kul breeds,
however. maintain that originally the
Arab did not inhabit Bokhara, but
Arabia. and hence the name Arab.
As there is nothing found in the
animal history of Arabia about the
Arab sheep the real origin of the
name Arab is much in dispute. In
the last fifty years the name Kara
Kul has been substituted for Arab,
