County Election Returns.

Complete returns of all county Of
ficers have been received at the MINER
office and are given in tabulated form
this week. Owing to the receipt of
returns by phone during the hurry
hours of last week Tuesday night the
vote for some of the state officers was
overlooked or misunderstood, and we
are unable to give the correct vote on
the supreme Judges and corporation
commissioners. According to the re-
turns every democrat on the county
ticket was elected by majOrities rang
ing from "a for Judge of the Superior
Court, to 81 for County Road Over.
seer. The county polled the heaviest
vote of any county in the territory
against the amendment to the consti-
tuition eliminating the recall of the
judiciary, although the total vote will
be found close TO 500 in favor of the
amendment.

First State Election.

Last Tuesday Arizona held its first
state election and the result was more
than a surprise to the politicians.
Every candidate on the democrat state
ticket was elected by majorities rang
ing from 900 for Secretary of State
Osborn, to more than 1000 for Carl
Hayden for congress. The legislature
is overwhelmingly democratic, the
senate having II democrats and five
republicans, and the house about %
democrats and ten republicans.
In Mohave county every democrat
was elected, the lowest majority being
for Carl G. Krook for Superior Judge
over Judge Blakely, the count show
ing rs. Frank Russell is high man
with a majority of 1863 over his repub-
lican opponent. We give a tabulated
statement of the vote by precincts in
this issue, the returns being still in
complete.

Railroad Company
to Light Yards.

While big corporations move slowly
in the matter of betterments some of
them are much slower than others.
This would appear to be the case with
the Santa Fe at Kingman, where for
years old coal oil lamps have been used
in the depot and Harvey House, when
every business house in town has
either used gas or electricity. But
this obsolete condition is to give way
to progressiveness and the company is
to at once install electricity in all the
buildings, and even the yards are to
be lighted by three big arc lights.
The installation is to be made right
after the first of the year, the Desert
Power and Water company to supply
the juice.
Kingman has deserved better treat
ment from the railroad company than
has been accorded it in the past and
we hope that the installation of lights
around the depot and in the yards will
be followed up by other betterments
at this place

The shaft on the Ohio Mine, near
Wallapai Springs, is now down 40
feet and is ali in ore, some of which
runs high in gold and silver. This
property is under option to Emerson
G, e, who is developing with as large a
force of men as can readily be worked
under present conditions. The high
grade ore is a telluride and is mixed
with lower grade material. but the
whole mass carries values exception
ally high for so large a body. Mr..
Gee. who is opt rating the property,
believes he has one of the best prop
critics in that section.
Last Sunday evening two OF the big
freight engines were slightly dishgur-
ed in the local yards. The trains
we're standing ia the yard ready to
pull out when a signal was given both
engineers took it for his train anc beth
started his train. one bound west and
the other east. At the crossOter they
discovered their mistake, but too late
TO avert the wreck, the cylinders
coming together and being torn off
| from 10th engin,s One track was
cleared up in time to allow the night
trains to get through the yards.
Harry Mehaffy and Walter Myers
are in from Wallapai Springs and re-
port that the work on the Last Chance
property is showing up the ore body
in fine shape. In the raise from the
drift the ore has widened to two feet
and soows free gold all through it.
! They expect that the shaft will soon
BE- tapped, which will furnish them
with good air and allow larger force
TO be employed. The mines are now
under bond to the o. & c. company,
composed of Long Beach, Cal, men.
The new battery of boilers and the
big stacks are installed in the big
plant of the Desert Power and Water
company and soon the two NordhofT
engines, with a rated capacity of 1900
horse power each, will be ready to
supply additional power. When these
betterments are complete the plant
will be able to furnish double its ca
pacIty.

Howell Jones, land commissioner of
the Santa Fe railway company, was
looking over the lands south of Yucca
last Monday and Tuesday. 1t is under
stood that he is satisfied with the work
that Newton Evans and associates are
doing on the lands and that an extern
sion of one year has been given them
in which TO carry out their contract.
White and Green, of Seattle, are with
Mr.. Evans in the project and are well
satisfied with the conditions at the
wells, although they are to put in a
standard rig in place of the small
machines now In use. They also in
tend to put in three concrete dams to
conserve the vast amount of flood
waters that come from the Wallapai
mountains during the rainy season.
The big traction engine now used for
haulage between Yucca and the wells
will be put in commission breaking up
one thousand acres of land in the
neighborhood of McCracken. The
engine will pull big gang plows and it
is estimated will break up thirty acres
day.
