Victim of Electrical Shock Dies.

Last Sunday morning E. P. Chris topher, who was so terribly burned by coming in contact with one of the high tension wires, last week Wednes- day, died from the effect of the burns. It was thought at first that he would live, but when the depth of the burns became apparent it was the opinion of the physicians that there was no hope for him. The funeral took place last Tuesday afternoon, many of the friends of the deceased following the remains to the grave.
 Mr. Christopher was quiet, unas. suming and industrious young man, well liked by all with whom he had dealings. He leaves wife and child to mourn his loss.

Last night there was meeting of the business men of Kingman at the Brunswick when the scheme for the sinking of deep well in the Wal lapai valley was considered. E. A. Colby, G. s. Turrill and son and A. s. Fox, of Redlands, Geo. w. Reece, of San Bernardino, and J. s. Gaume, of Shreveport, La, were present and talked the matter over with Kingman people, "ho are also interested in the pro]ect. Mir. Gaume is one of the best known irrigation engineers in the country, having been engaged in many of the most important irrigation pro- jects of the west. It is his opinion that the great valley to the north of Kingman may be readily brought under cultivation and at low cost. The men were all enthusiastic over the outlook and believe the day is dawning when Mohave county will be. come one of the greatest agricultural and vlticultural countries of the globe.
 The Santa Fe railroad is getting ready to sink well to depth of 500 feet at Kingman and a standard rig will be brought in about the first of April to do the work. Owing to the great importance of Kingman and the fact that all eastbound trains have to water here and do large amount of work more water will have to be furnished. More tanks for the treat ment of water will have to be put in and many other betterments are in view. The company is also to put in more warehouse rooms and a big con- crete platform is to be extended east from the present freighthouse. It is estimated that the betterment of yardage. freighthouses and other things in contemplation will take a large force of men several months to complete.
 HULL I1cLly JLONlh, h'UdIC oCudlOI from Mohave county, departed yester- day to Phenix. where he will enter on his duties next Monday.

These two measures will he of great importance to the county in the future and we hope there will be no delay in having them become laws. Many other important measures will be be- fore the legislative body during the session that will have an important bearing on the future prosperity of this county, and these measures are understood to have MT. Lovin's SUD- port.

LYRIC THEATRE

No more appropriate Or delightful
 theatrical offering for the holiday
 week which opens today could possib-
 ly be found than The Little Prime

 Stock Company will present at the
 Lyric Theatre. A feature of the Day matinee, which will afford an ex- tra opportunity to enjoy this delight ful offering, and which is certain to be' attended by an audience which will ire to f1le very utmost.
 Frances fHodgson Burnett, the au- thor of .gFhe Little Princess, first came into prominent notice as a. stage writer when her Little Lord Faun- tleroy'' was produced, with a success which was startling, to say the least. Later The Little Princess was pro dnced, and more than equa1led the success of it's predecessor. Mrs Bur nett's reputation was so firmly estab- lisI1ed by these two great triuInphs that one has only to mention one or the other to bring out the reply, "Oh, yes. by Frances .Eodssozl- Burnett -'T'ha Little Princess possesses one | of the most charming stories ever told on the stage.

Miss | Clevelands managers could not pos sibly have selected a daintier pret- tier, or more suitable play than this. for it will delight the little ones and i through them their elders. There is
