 Ed. Williams came up from the Aquarius range few days ago to visit with his family and look after business matters. He reports that he has about completed road from the Big Sandy road into his inning camp, and that he will soon be able to put in his milling plant and begin pounding out high grade tungsten concentrates. He has the mines opened to such an extent that many carloads of concen- frates can be readily taken from It's ores. The concentrates from this property have been the highest of any shipped to the American smelters.
 An effort should be made to not only clean up the streets of the town, but also to eliminate the chuck holes and ditches. The streets of the town are somewhat worse than the roads out of town, which should be reversed, if the people will only take an interest in the matter. kingman is one of the best situated towns in northern Ari. zona for natural drainage and low cost for street repair If the streets of the town were graded up and oiled dust would be eliminated and the whole town benefited. At the present time the people are paying out more money yearly for superficial watering of the streets to build up all our thoroughfares and give them a good coat of oil. Let the people get to- gether and take some action looking to the betterment of the streets.
 A novelty in the shape of a motor cycle to which had been added another wheel and seat for one, was on the streets of Kingman Wednesday last. The machine had been driven from Los Angeles across the desert, cross ing the Colorado river by ferry and making the heavy grade over the Blue Ridge mountains readily. The novel car was driven by gentleman and wife. They found it rather hard sled ding across the California desert, the heat being felt very much by them, but the promise that cooler climate would be reached eastward from kingman quite relieved their droop. ing spirits. Only one who had the motorcycle craze to the exclusion of any other idea would have hooked up such a machine to make the long trip from Los Angeles to New York with out providing some protection from the heat of the sun, no matter wheth- CT in the California desert or else where. Without shade person would have felt the torrid sun of Kan sas or any of the other eastern states the past few weeks.
 Monday and Tuesday Judge Krook heard arguments in the cause of Har- ris against the l.. J. Smith Construc- tion company, cause transferred from Yavapai county for the purpose of these arguments. The cause grew out of tee building of the Verde Valley railroad, the construction company having the contract for the entire llne, which was in part sublet, Harris being one of the contractors. In his con- plaint it is set out that by reason of the wrong cassifcatons of the rock broken and removed in the building of part of the roadbed under his contract Harris contends that he was underpaid the sum of 35,OOO$ There are many interesting points at issue in this suit and the preliminaries are being threshed out before the main issues are placed before the court and jury. Messrs. Norris, of Prescott, and Me- Vey, of Kansas City, appear for the defendant company, while Clark and I 1ascher are for the plaintiff, Mr. Clark making the argument in SUD- port of his complaint.
