Mohave County miner. [volume] (Mineral Park, A.T. [Ariz.]) 1882-1918, 1914-10-17

we feel assured that he will be retain
ed by them for many years to come.
Frank L. Hunt, Assessor of Mohave
county for many years, is again in the
saddle. Mr.. Hunt has assessed the
property of the county when it only
reached 1000, O,000$ in valuation, and
last year had the satisfaction of seeing
it reach to $1,000, ,OOO$, ten times the
valuation of all the property when he
came into office. His work should be
recognized by the people by reelec-
tion to Office by an overwhelming vote.
1t was the big valuation of property
that did more to bring the attention Of
mining and other investors to the coun-
ty than any other cause, and it was his
proper listment of property that
brought the tax down from nearly a. 00$
on the zoos to 1.35$ on the zoos of tax
able property. Under the low levy
capital can be invitei hsr; WITH the
greatest assurance that it Jill not be
scared by the heavy tax levy, as was
the case in the years gone by. And it
is the big taX roll tnat has made pos
sible the good roads now being built
and the handsome new courthouse
under process of construction.
For the Board of Supervisors the
democratic electors have placed in
nomination three men. These men are
among the best known residents of the
county. l. M. George, who is men,
ber of the present board, came to Mo-
have county many years ago, settled
down here and engaged in business pur-
suits. In every character of business
in which he became identified, from
cattle raising to conducting a
big market he has been success 1t is
this good business judgment that Mr..
George brought to the conduct of the
business of the county and to the SIM
plifying of it's affairs. He is a pro-
man, believing in the upbuild-
ing of the internal resources Of the
county by reaching out to the mining
camps, ranches and towns system of
good roads, built along permanent
lines. With him it is build a road upon
which there is a minimum of upkeep
and which may be travelled every day
Of the year, in the heated, dusty days
Of summer or in the wet and soggy
lays of winter. He believes in MAX
ing such showing in the conduct of
the affairs of the county that capital
will, perforce, see it's way to invest
here and aid in the upbuilding of the
atent resources that lie on every side.
He is bringing to the office of super
visor the experience gained in the con-
luct of his own various business af-
fairs, and the people of the county, ir-
respective of party will do we'll to en-
gage him for at least the next four
years.
o. E. Walker is another man who has
oeen selected for his honesty, capa-
oility and stirling worth to aid in the
conduct of affairs of the county as a
of the board of supervisors.
Mr.. Walker came to the state of Ari-
zona about thirty five years ago and
mere he raised his family and here he
intends to remain until the end of time.
He has been engaged in mining, stock
raising and ranching, and now is in
business in Kingman. He was the
nigh man at the primaries, which at
tests to his high standing among the
people of the county. With him in Of
flee the people may feel secure in the
knowledge that their interests are being
well cared for, and we predict that he
will be one of the successful when the
vote is counted on the Sd of next No
vember,
Last, but not least of these candi-
dates for the office of County Dads"
comes w. B. Stephens. Bill Stephens
has been a resident of Mohave county
more than thirty-fve years, and has
been one of the most successful cattle
men of the county. For four years
prior to 1911 he held the Office of super
visor, being chairman of the board.
Throughout the county he has always
been popular, the people voting for him
without party distinction. At his home
on the Big Sandy he keeps open house
