 The case of the State of Arizona against John J. Eshom on charge of failure to provide for his wife and minor child was mistrial. The wife is also suing for maintenance and division of property. Eshom has always agreed to support the wife and child, but re- fuses to put up for long line of rela- tives. This case is now on trial before jury.
 w. D. Grannis, Charles K. Needham, Charles H. Wagener, George w. Way, David J. Hoge, James Irving and Willis Stanley, directors of the Arizona Ven ture Corporation, were visitors at the MINER office last Tuesday morning. The gentlemen had just returned from the mines in Deluge Wash. MT. Irving is well known mining engineer and is consulting engineer of the Arizona Ven ture Corporation. The party departed to Pasadena Tuesday evening, where details of big development campaign on the mines will be worked out.
 J. F. Miller, owner of molybdenite- copper mines in Deluge Wash, is in Kingman putting the finishing touches on big deal for the properties. F. w. Remy, representing one of the lar gest investment companies of the Pacific coast, is negotiating the deal. MT. Miller has been at work on the mines the past two years and has done large amount of development. A shaft has been such to depth of 60 feet on one of the claims. Another has a crosscut tunnel into the vein for distance of about sixty feet and the other veins of the group have shafts driven to depth of from fifteen to twenty feet. Splen- did ore was opened in all the veins.
 A large number of witnesses and jurors have been in Kingman this week, making the town look quite lively. At the same time there are many un- employed miners, who have come here with the expectation that the opening of new mines would give them ready employment. These new mines have about all they now can find place for, but in the next few months we believe that large number will be put on.
 H. B. Lawrence is the new superin- tendent of the Golconda mine. A big compressor plant, new holster and some other small machinery is to go on the property at once and the shaft con- tinued to the 1000 level. The mines are showing immense bodies of ore and with zinc selling for better than nine cents on the market this mine will be one of the greatest money makers Mo- have county has within it's borders.
