Mohave County miner., 1911-01-07

Tom Reed, which makes it the pre- mier mine and mill of the Pacific coast.
 Mrs. Robert Manship is home again from visit with parents in Redlands.
 George W. Miller and son were Kingman visitors this week, coming in from the ranch at Lookout. MT. Mil Ter has just completed two residences on Beale street, which have already been rented at good figures. MT. Mil Ter believes in the growth of Kingman and that it will always be one of the most important towns in the county.
 Sheepmen are beginning to point their herds toward Mohave county. Yesterday one of the big sheepmen of northern Arizona arrived in King man to make arrangements for the haadling of his sheep here. It is ex- pected that feed in this section of Arizona will be much earlier than last year, weeds and grass now being abundant in the Sacramento valley while last year there was very little feed until late in March.
 c. R. Van Marter and F. P. Andreas have purchased the five lots on the corner of Beale and Fifth streets of W. J. Prout and wife and will use them for business purposes. These lots would make one of the most desi- rable hotel sites In Kingman and we hope that it will be put to that use. The Odd Fellows of Kingman are to erect two-story structure on the lots on the opposite corner, so that busi- ness will be gradually drawn to that section of the town.
 M. George has secured the con- tracts for furnishing beef to tho con- tractors at Cottonia and at the Needles bridge, to fill which he will have to do some hustling. The contractors at Cottonia are working large force of men, while the number of workmen at the bridge are being constantly aug mented. It is expected that about two hundred men will soon be at work putting iu the new pier under the big bridge and remodeling the old struct- ure to admit of double tracking.
 Under Sheriff Quinn Thursday night brought back from Needles a man named Cahill, charged with the rob- bery of Bob Wright's safe. It is understood that about 3OOs was stolen from the safe after closing hours, early this week. After an investigation the crime is said to have been traced to a fellow who has been cooking and play ing the piano at one of the resorts of the town. After going to Needles the fellow has been doing the grand by buying wine and had spent about 1908. He was practically penniless when ar rested.
 The board of supervisors has been in session a number of days this week auditing accounts of the last quarter of last year and attending to other business matters. The board was waited on by the business men of Kingman for the purpose of getting a reduction on the assessment on the power plant, which was considered too high. The plant was put in at 79, ,OOOS and upon agreement the board reduced the assessment to 50,000S, which is on a basis of other assess ments in this county. The board also counted up the scalps of wild animals, finding about $50 skunks skins among the other ill smelling hides. This is one of the most unsavory of the duties of the board and the members would like to have it cut of the list.
 The Frisco Mines & Power company is making a road from the wagon road near McConnico to connection with the main Union Pass road, west of Union station. It is understood that the company is of the opinion that the longer distance can be more than made up by the ease with which heavy auto truck can be operated over this piece of road, the company at present hauling over Coyote Pass. The work of building the road around the mountain will be easy, the great CT part of the work having already been done.
