Governor Hunt was a visitor in Kingman, Mohaye county, last week and the Miner, of that town thus tells Of the presence of the executive and the reception he received there:
 Last Wednesday evening Gov. Hunt, accompanied by MT. Osborn, member of the board of control, arTiv. ed in Kingman and was greeted by a large gathering of citizens headed by Kingman's new band.
 At the opera house the same even ing the governor told the people the aims and objects of his administration, taking up the various public instltu- tiOns and advertising to the reforms either instituted or proposed. Many Of these reforms met with the hearty approval of the people and while many did not coincide with him in the matter of prison management. each and every one gave him credit for honesty of purpose.
 Prison Reforms
 Prison reform is just now one of the great problems of the day. and lew really know what the new order of things may bring about. It is at least up to the people to give a trial to the method introduced by Gov. Hunt and await results. Along the line of good roads, the Governor struck a popular chord, and it is to see what can be done to advance the good Taods in this country that We owe his visit to us. Thursday morn ing, in company of Charles Grimes, Of the Tom Reed Gold Mines com pany, J. s. Withers. supervisor, and some other gentlemen, the visitors went out to Goldroad and Oatman by auto returning Thursday evening Gov Hunt was delighted with the two great gold camps and expressed his surprise at the great bars of gold he saw in the vaults Of the company. Yesterday they departed to Seligman in the auto of C. w Davis. J. :. Withers accompanying the party. The route was taken along that line of the transcontinental automobile route passing close to the Grand Canyon at Peach Springs, and through deep gorges and beautiful valleys From Seligman the governors party will re. turn by train 10 Phoenix.
