Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1914-09-26
Mohave County Miner to be improved.

This week the MINER office received
a large amount of machinery from the
manufacturers, among which is a high
speed, two-revolution Whitlock news
paper press, large power paper cut
ter, Rossbeck perforator, stabbing ma
chine, and Office materials. The issue
of October 3 will be printed on the new
press and will be an eight-page, five
column newspaper, with wider scope
and greater variety of subjects than
the present paper. Week by week the
paper will be improved uutil it will be
second to no weekly journal on the
coast. Few men know the newspaper
game, especially from the mining
standpoint as does the MINER editor,
and with the able assistance of Frank
Jackson and members of the editors
family, will be able to reach almost
any subject that would interest the
average reader. 1t will be our aim to
give all the news of local character
obtainable, not only in the mining line,
but on all other subjects.
The installation of this plant has en-
tailed large outlay of money and
work, and now it will be put up to the
people to give the enterprise their sup
port. We believe the people of Mo-
have county have reached stage when
an unusually go"d paper will appeal to
them and they will want at least one
copy Of it in their homes. To the ad-
vertiser we would say that the MINER
reaches better and larger class of
people in the mining country than any
other newspaper and they would get
larger and better return on their in
vestment by patronizing its columns
than through any other medium.
But we will let the future issues of
the paper prove to one and all that
there is no bluff about what we are
doing and are going to do, and we ex-
pect their support accordingly.
The complete returns from the pri-
mary election show the defeat of one
of the best men the democratic party
had in it's ranks. j.. S. Withers has
held the office of supervisor of this
county the past three years and during
that time has done much to bring the
county up to its present high standing.
1t was due to his efforts hat the good
road work WIS FRIED on when the
treasury was low, and it was due to his
perseverance that lie .ssue Of good
road bOrds WAS sold. lie has at all
times been progressive ard booster
for Mohave county. And it is not say
ing anything derogatory to the ability
of the men that were nominated to say
that there are few better men in the
state than Sam Withers.
c. B. Wood. who has been secretary
of the Arizona State Fair for many
years, is to be succeeded by Thomas D.
Shaughnessy. Mr.. Shaughnessy was
speed clerk Of the Fair last year and
has been chief deputy assessor of Mari
copa county the past three years. He
is said to be one of the best men that
could be found TO take Mr.. Woods
place and is sure to give the matters
that will require his attention the best
that is in him. Mr.. Wood has been the
best secretary any like attraction has
ever had and his resignation is greatly
regretted by all having the success of
the Fair at heart.
l. M. George and family have return
ed from Los Angeles, where they spent
week or ten days enjoying old oceans
