 Mrs. John Barry, accompanied by relatives and her counsel was in King man this week looking after matters appertaining to the estate of the late John Barry. It is understood that the inventory of the estate filed in Los Angeles totals 175,OOOS real property, and 8,OOOS cash in bank. The prop erty in Mohave county will run we'll up toward 1OO,OOO$, it is claimed. After leaving Mohave county MT. Barry made number of desirable in- yestments, the properties increasing greatly in value during the years that he held them. The mines in this county embrace the Cerbat and Gold Nugget. at Cerbat, and the Towne. Tuckahoe and other mines at Chloride. The impression prevails that the pro- batting of the estate will be vigorously combatted by the children, but It is more than probable that satisfactory settlement will be made betw cen the widow and the heirs at law.
 James Hanson, brother-ln.law of Frank Thompson, of Kingman, was killed in cave in one of the stopes of the Tom Reed mine, last Monday night. He had set up his drill and had warned the muckers of the danger of a big slab of rock that was hanging in the side of the roof, and then went out and brought in a number of drills to begin work. Apparently uncon- scious of danger he walked under the slab and at that instant it fell, burying the unfortunate man beneath it. Life was crushed out in an instant although as it struck him he cried out for help. His body was brought to Kingman the following morning and embalmed for shipment to his old home in Angels Camp, California. Hanson came here about three months ago and went to work in the Tom Reed, where he was regarded as an exceptionally good miner. He worked sixteen years in one mine in Angels and ouly left there thinking to better the condition of his family. He leaves wife and seven children to mourn his death.
