Mohave County miner., 1915-02-20
Big Mining Company Elects New Officers and Visits
 the Mines.


 w. Way, David J. Hoge, James Irving, Willis Stanley. The company increas- ed its directorate from five to seven members, and the seven were elected by the shareholders.
 MT. Grannis, the president of the company, is well known to all the people in this county and is considered one of the best hustlers among the mining men of Kingman. MT. Need- ham, the vice president of the com pany, is an old time newspaper man of Iowa, and booster of all classes of business interests from habit, it being impossible for newspaper man to be a pessimist. MT. Wagener is one of the best hustlers on the Pacific coast and an all around good fellow. The other directors are successful business men who have confidence in the mining game and are willing to back their judgment that they have a good mining property that will soon be in the dividend class.
 The gentlemen had just returned from the mines, having encountered deluge of water from Kingman to Deluge Wash. They found everything at the mine in excellent shape and the big shaft going down as rapidly as pos sible to drive it with machine drills. The shaft is to be driven to the 800 level, where the vein will be cut and opened. The property is an excellent one and deserves the confidence the shareholders have in it.
 Some of the directors went home by way of Goldroad and Oatman, taking the stage to Needles.
 E. s. Osborne, who was arrested at Parker last week on criminal charge by Illinois officers, was discharged from custody at hearing before Gov. Hunt and the Attorney General of the State on demand for requisition. At the hearing it developed that at the time the alleged crime was committed in Chicago Mir. Osborne was at his mines near Parker, and that there was nothing whatever in the charge brought against him. So palpable was the charge that the Attorney General of Arizona has made demand on the law department of the State of Illinois for an explana- tion of the arrest of citizen of this state and asking that the complainant be brought to book for making false affidavit.
 James Cowan, who has been 8 resi- dent of Mohave county since the early seventies, departed yesterday evening to Los Angeles, where he has accepted a position with corporation. When the writer first came to Mohave county MT. Cowan was "riding mail'' between Mineral Park and Eldorado Canyon and St. Thomas. At that time the rider went out by way of Chloride, Quail and Mountain Springs to Eldorado Canyon. Crossing the river the mail was deliver ed to the postmaster at that point. The rider then returned to the Arizona side and the next day rode to Rioville and then to St. Thomas. The trip re- turning was made direct to Mineral Park, at that time the county seat of Mohave county. This route was not discontinued until the early nineties.
 Mrs. Etta Maria Pearce, aged 65 years, died at the home of her son, J. w. Porter, in Kingmnn, last Satur- day, death being due to appoplexy. Mrs. Pearce had lived in this county many years and had many friends that will regret her demise. The funeral was held from her late residence, the remains being followed to the grave by many mourning friends and acquain- tances.
