 We are publishing today notice from the bureau of health Of the county and wish to call the attention of the public to the fact that this order will be strictly enforced. The person found violating the order will be ar rested and fined for each and every in- fraction of the law. Strict observance of the rule will make the towns and mining camps of the county sanitary and healthy and it is up to the people to cooperate vith the board in the good work.
 A mining engineer is at the Me- Cracken mine sanpling that property for eastern interests. It is to be hoped
 that a company we'll able to handle
 this property will take It over and
 operate it on a scale com mensurate
 with it's well known ability to produce.
 With proper development this mining
 property should be another Bunker
 Hill and Sullivan. It is identical with
 the big Idaho property, but also has
 some of the richest silver ore ever
 taken from mine in the county, as
 we'll as lead.
 John c. Potts and J. s. Withers, , supervisors of this county, spent the
 greater part of the week in Phenlx,

 an agreement the board members con
 cluded to look closely into the propo sitlon and try to get it strengthened Z out. Mohave county needs the none! for roads and bridges and we hop' that the sale may be carried out a U U soon as possible.

 that with a small amount of work 8 excellent autom obie roud can be had :. The government is also to aid in tn ,. building of this roadway, as it vii
 give Fort Mohave an outlet by way ( the bridge to Needles. By the built ls ing of a good roadway from Kingma A' to connection with this road Kins '' man would become market for tn 'e produce of the Mohave valley, as we 10 as Needles. Only few thousand do IL lars expended on the road would | 'r necsss ary to put it in excellent cond J. tion. Kingman is about the same di D. tance from the Mohave valley { ,e Needles, when measured by way a. the Topock bridge.
