Mohave County miner., 1911-02-25

T. R. Garnier, general manager of the St. Louis Con. Mining Company, departed last evening to Los Angeles, where he expected to have a seance with a dentist, having badly ulcerat- ed teeth and a well developed case of neuralgia.
 John w. Butcher and daughter, fIther and sister of Dr. W. H. Bucher, accompanied by the Misses Marian Davis and Mary Greenougq and Harry Seebold, all of Sudbury, Penn, arriv- ed in Kingman few days ago and will remain for some time.
 Sheep shearing at the pens east of Kingman is in full blast this week, about two thousand head losing their heeces daily, It is expected that when everything is running all right about 1000 head will be sheared daily. The herds are sent into the Sacramento valley as soon as they are turned out of the pens. The grass in the valleys is good and the weeds are beginning to assume a rank growth.
 Col. J. B. Wright, in charge of the government survey in this county, was a Kingman visitor this week His survey crops is in the Big Sandy val ley, where it will close up the entire 1F hot Az this work is completed the surveyors will be brought across the mountain to the neighborhood of Kingman, where the section lines will be run. As soon as these lands are thrown open to the public there will be a scramble for the best tracts in the val ley.
 While waiting few minutes in the lobby of one of the Kingman hotels the other evening we saw ten men turned away on account of lack of rUoms, while the other hotels had placards on their registers that their rooms were all taken. This condition is of nightly occurrence, which would lead the ordinary mortal to the con- clusion that Kingman was badly in need of more hotel accommodations.
 W. F. Ferguson, who has just re- turned from Prescott, reports that all but one of the whisky selling cases had been disposed of by the court. Three had pleaded guilty and two were stand ing trial. One of these was an Indian, Pete, who was accused of giving li- quor to another Indian. His case was before the jury Thursday. Pete Will son, who pleaded not guilty, was tried before a jury and convicted. Wilson was bootlegger who piled his voca- tion to the limit. Frank H. Coon, who was arrested here last November and held for the crime of sending obscene matter and pictures through the malls, was indicted and will have a jury trial today. The crime was one that will certainly appeal to the jury in a way that will bring him the limit of pun ishment.
 There is a report current that the Indian Queho has killed a prospector named Peterson or Patterson: at the mouth of the Vegas Wash, and that Frank M. Barnes is also missing. Barnes has placer claims in the Tem- nle Rar and every wear poes in there to do the title work on some and re- locate the outside claims. This year he has not been seen going or coming, but the report has gotten out that the body of a man resem mbling Barnes was seen at Temple Bar camp, although the party did not stay long enough to make thorough examination. This week J. c. Potts, chairman of the board of supervisors, prepared a Deti- tion and forwarded it to Gov Sloan asking for the posting of a reward by the territory for the apprehension of the renegade Indian. Something should certainly be done to bring this murderer to book; and the only way we can see to that end is to put up the cash and have the Flutes go out and bring him in. The matter should not be allowed to lie dormant, but a mes- senger should be dispatched to the Indians and arrange for the denoue- ment.
