Mohave County miner., 1911-09-30

Today the people of Mohave. county are experiencing the first September rains that have fallen in many years. The moisture was badly needed to wet down the ground and lay the in- tolerable dust.
 A. J. Ross, a we'll known miner of the Mineral Park-Chloride section, died at the hospital in Kingman, last Wednesday, death being due to appc- plexy. Ross was brought to Kingman some time ago suffering from paraly- sis. He was born in Pennsylvania and was 66 years of age at the time of death. There are no known relatives.
 As soon as the election is over and people have resumed their normal condition, would it not be well to begin the agitation of oiled streets. With its streets built up and oiled Kingman would be one of the most de- lightful towns in the territory. Prop erty would be greatly enhanced in value by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars in the work of street improvement.
Mohave County miner., 1911-09-30

The MINER office has been installing new machinery this week and when all the machinery is in place we will have one of the most up-to-date plants in the territory. Hereafter we will be able to get out better job work, although the high quality of paper and inks will remain the same. We are getting in large consignments of high quality papers, all colors and weights, daily and can supply every need of the bus mess men of the county.
 c. F. Dutton, postoffice supervisor of this district, was in Kingman this week instructing the office force in the de- tails of the postal savings bank, that is to be opened at the local office on the 18th of next month.
 The excavation of the basement for the building on the corner of Foul tn and Beale streets is fast nearing com pletion. As soon thereafter as possible the work of pouring concrete will be commenced.

Monday last the Bank of Arizona at Prescott received a bar of gold bullion from the properties of the United Mines company valued at l500S, and at the same time a car of concentrates valued at over 5,5OOs went on to the shelter at Needles, California.
 Mining men are now coming into the Goldroad section daily, to take look at the big producers and to see if they get into something close in. The whole section from far south of Goldroad to the broken county north of the Tyro is gold bearing and many mines are sure to be opened up there. With cheaper power, which is sure to come, the large low grade gold veins will be worked on large scale, the Colorado river furnishing water for milling purposes.
 The Tom Reed Mines company de- clared another dividend last week on all the issued stock of the company, amounting to three per cent on the capitalization. The com Dany has paid several hundred thousand dollars in dividends and has built up big treas ury for development and betterment purposes. The Tom Reed is one of the big gold mines of the Pacific coast and enough ore in sight to keep it in the lime light for years to come. Last year its ore averaged over AS the whole year and the production amounted to more than half a million of dollars.
 J. H. Hays, who has charge of the work of exploiting the mines of the Trout Creek Mines & Power company, came in from the mines a few days ago, bringing with him a couple of the contractors. These men report that the showing at the mines is good and that every days work shows improve ment. The camp is an ideal one, be- ing but a short distance from the creek, where an abundance of Arizona trout and other splendid mountain stream fishes can be caught.
 Fred Searls, a young San Francisco engineer, who has been examining the old placer mines, south of the big To- pock bridge, returned from the fields last Monday, He was accompanied by Manuel Martinez, the trip being made across the trail by the river route, one of the toughest places in the territory. Martinez became ill on the way and Searls went on to Topock, returning with water and stImulants, finally sue ceeding in getting him to the railroad, whence they came to Kingman on the night train. While at the placers Searls made complete examination of all deposits, finding gold in varying quantities.
 A reference to the report of the Geological Survey, published in another column of the MINER, will give the skeptic another think regard ing the mineral production of the county. Mohave last year made the greatest production of gold of any county in the territory and followed this up with the largest and practi- cally the only zinc production. It all so produced more than half a million pounds of copper and about the same amount of lead. When it is consider ed that real mining in the county is yet in its infancy these figures will give the people that read something to think about. Within the next few years Mohave county will have dozens of producing mines where one now Is sending it's output to the mint and smelters.

 Joseph Krauss, owner of some splen- did mining property near Vivian, is progressing with development work. The claims have big veins and the ore is high grade milling.

How About This for a Good Dog
Story?

One day last week Dock Hicks,
a well known man of Menifee
county, was in Mt. Sterling and
was driving a spirited horse,
which became frightened at the
large steam roller, being used on
the streets preparatory to brick
ING them, and ran away down Lo-
Gust street. In its flight it ran
into the wagon of the Mt. Sterling
Laundry Co., turning it over and
nearly wrecking the buggy, but
somehow managed to break away
and ran on down Locust street.
and was passing the livery stable
of A. B. Settlers, when Buster,
the small bull dog owned by Mr..
Settlers, rushed out and grabbed a
line dragging the ground and at
tempted to stop the horse. The
animal was going so fast, how
ever, that he dragged the dog for
nearly a block and when the pur
suing men finally did catch him,
they found him running around
in a circle with the line in Busters
mouth. Now we did not see this,
but we got this story from repu-
table men.
