 T. E. Pollock, of the Arizona Central Bank, was down from Flagstaff yester- day and today. MT. Pollock is one of the largest sheep and cattle raisers in the state of Arizona, as well as being interested in chain of banks across the state from east to west and from north to south.
 George w. Miller has purchased several sections of land in the neighbor- hood of his home ranch, at Lookout, close to the Mohave-Y Yavapai county line. The purchase was necessary to curtail the encroachment of other cat tlemen on his home preserves.
 w. F. Grounds was in Kingman to- day from his Clay Springs cattle ranch, about forty miles northeast of town. Mir. Grounds has been making many Improvements in that section and has also leased about one million acres of the Wallapai reservation for grazing purposes.
 Sheepmen of the north are preparing to drive their flocks into this county at an early date, the grasses and weeds showing up to great advantage in the valleys east and west of Kingman. Some of the sheep owners have looked over the country to the south of Yucca, which has an abundance of early feed, and the drive can then be made back over an exceptionally rich pasturage as the warm days come on. Shearing~Will take place at Kingman and other points along the railroad.
 Tom McNeely, who owns consider able mining property in the Mineral Park section, visited with his family in Kingman during the holidays. MT. McNeely is to try out some new dope for the recovery of copper and his ex- periments along this line are awaited with considerable interest by those having the same class of property. The ores on which the experiment is to be tried are deposited near the Park in conglomerate masses, estimated at several thousand tons.

His friends hope 50 keep him with us and it is probable that he will open offices in Kingman in the-near future. He leaves the bench with the respect of all classes of peo- pie.
 The Utah delegation in Congress is making another effort to have the government build the railroad from Marysvale into the Grand Canyon country, on the north rim. We hope they succeed, as it will open up one of the greatest countries on earth, both in mineral wealth and its vast forest of pine timber. The great sums of money that the government would realize from the sale of timber alone would pay for the road, besides the country is \ one of the greatest big game preserves ! in the United States proper. The
 uilding of great dams in the Colorado
 ,er, the creation of power from the
 lfcial falls and the distribution of
