James R. L. Boner Dead.

James R. l.. Boner, one of the oldest residents of this county. dled at the home of his brother in Kingman last Sunday morning. Mr. Boner had been ill for some time on the Big Sandy and was brought to Kingman, where he might have the advantage of medical treatment, but he was to old and frail to rally from the attack of bronchitis.
 Mr. BOner came to this county in the early seventies, settling at Cerbat, where he remained some years, and where his wife met death in a fire. With his seven children he removed to the Big Sandy, where he lived the greater part of the time until his death. He was one of the hardy plo neers that have taken so active a part in blazing the trails for great civilza' tion.
 He leaves behind to mourn his loos one brother and four sons. His body was laid away in the local cemetery Monday afternoon, many of the old time friends following the remains to the grave.

Death of James F. Garter.

James F. Carter, one of the best known mining men of this county, died at the residence of Mrs. Mary Sweeney last Sunday, death being due to tuberculosis. Everything that could be done to stay the ravages of the dread disease was done, but he was too far gone when physicians were called.
 James Carter came to Mohave county more than twenty-five years ago, and for short time followed his trade of carpenter in Hack berry and Kingman, afterw ard going to White Hills, where he engaged in mining. Later he went to Goldroad and actively engaged in mining and prospecting. After the discovery of the Tom Reed mines he located the mines now owned and held by the Carter Gold Mines company, of which corporation he was the nominal head. He also made the discovery Of the great value contained in the waters tbat oozed away through the tailings pits of the Gold Road Mines company, and with Henry Lovin, ob- tained lease on the pits from which he and Lovn realized 30,000$ or 40,- 000S. His work on the Carter mines brought to light ores valued at many thousands of dollars. and had he not become il milling plant would have been erected on the property to handle the ores. Mr. Carter attribut- ed his disease to the work on the tail ings dumps of the Gold Road and Tom Reed mines, it being his belief that the dry dust breathed into the lungs while gathering the crusts from the pits set up condition that brought to life the germs of consumption.
 Deceased was born in the State of Missouri tifty-seven years ago, and leaves one brother and sister to mourn his death. In Mohave county he leaves host of friends to mourn his death.
 The funeral was held Tuesday after- noon under the auspices of Kingman lodge Mo- 46S, B. P. O. Elks, mem bers of that order coming from all parts of the county tu take part in the ritua- listic service over the remains of the departed brother. The Opera House was filled to overhowing with men and women that had known and loved the man during his long life in the county. May Supreme Ruler of the Universe deal gently with the soul of this old pioneer.

 The new postal rates, known as the parcels post, will go into effect on the first day of January, and the people residing along the route of rural mail delivery will be reioiced. Everything possible will be carried to the amount of eleven pounds in the mail. Within a radius of 800 miles the rate will be five cents for the first pound and one cent for each additional pound. This does not include periodicals and news paper, which now are covered by special laws. Nothing that will in. jure the mails will be carried. Next week we will publish the rating, that the people may know just what they may have shipped to them by mail or may send out.
 Yavapai county has the largest de- linquent tax list in it's history. more than forty thousand dollars remaining unpaid at the close of the tax year. The taxes remaining due are from small taxpayers. which will make the collection slow on the delinquent roll. Yavapai county has not been as pros. porous as in former years, but it has great resources in agricultural lands and is sure to become one of the great counties of the state. Unless the town of Jerome and the Verde valley are made into a new county the great i'm provements going on there will add millions to the taxable wealth of the "Mother of Countless"
