Chloride JoIIifies.


 the arrival of the first train in camr by a great jolifcation that was part cipated in by every one in town anC all the surrounding camps. Kingmar took their band with them and wen, over to help make the occasion a sue. cess, two special trains being run out to accommodate the crowd. Committees of citizens met the trains and did everything possible to make the oc- ca sion pleasurable one,
 By ten o'clock the barbecue was ready and fully one thousand people partook of all the good things prepar- ed for the occasion. The feast was a great one. everything that gourmet could wish was there and then some.
 A drilling match between two local teams was one of the features of the morning. Flynn and Cox made 2l 5-l6 inches within the allotted time of fifteen minutes and Casstleb berry and Burhart made Fl Is inches. While this was not fast time the crowd was well satisfied with the performance.
 Afternoon ball game was played between the Kingman and Needles teams, kingman winning by score of 8 to l. For eight innings Price for Kingman played shutout game and the Needles only squeezed one through in the ninth by an error.
 Good music was furnished all day by the band and enlivened the occasion. In the evening grand ball was gwen at the hall. where the visitors enjoyed the dance until time to catch the last tram was up. Taken all in all the celebration was one of the greatest successes Mohave county has ever had.
 Many years ago a railroad was built from Kingman to Chloride, and while an effort was made by the people of Kingman and Chloried to have this road keep well up against the foothills, that the mines could be given greater benefit, the management in it's wisdom built the road far down in the valley and then terminated it within one mile of the town of Chloride, where an at tempt was made to establish a town. The town building effort failed, but the railroad maintained its terminal at that place and ores had to be hauled from the mines more than two mics for shipment. The building of the road to the Tennessee mine and the establishment of a depot within the limits of the town has long been recognized as necessity by the Santa Fe and that it is now being realized gives the people of the town of Chlo- ride hopes for many better things in the future. The railroad will take ore from the bunkers of the Tennessee and Rainbow mines and will be close up to all the mines of the camp. The building of this extension will make possible the handling of very low grade ore, cutting off the big haulage and extra handling charges. The track is now being laid to the Ten nessee mine and as soon as the bridge across Empire wash is completed trains will be running to the mine bunkers.
 The Tennessee is now said to have one of the greatest bodies of ore ever found in any property in the county and will be shipping from 300 to 800 tons of ore daily within few months. The Rainbow will also be a heavy shipper, as will the Badger, Pinkham, and Chester. Many other mines are ready to begin active development and it will be but short time until the camp will be one of the greatest ore shippers in the state.
 The people of Chloride are to be congratulated upon their handling of the big celebration and the guests of the occasion are loud in their praises of the generous treatment accorded them by one and all of the people of the big lead crmp.
