WAITING FOR A BRIGHTER DAY
 ID DAWN
(From Tuesdays Oaily.) .

AIiOll 4uNSNdJ . O1AAJ1
 A policy of "watchful waiting" is now being pursued by the board of supervisors regarding the new court house bond issue of $25O,OOO which the Union Trust Company of Chicago refused to accept on account of a fimsy technicality after bidding for and being awarded same. There will be nothing done in the matter for some time, or at least until the bond market shows signs of improvement. How long that will be the members of the board of course do not know and naturally will not hazard a guess. Tn the meantime the old ramShacklc building is slowly but surely bccom- ing a mass of ruins, which even can not be designated as picturesque, and getting to the point where it will some time unexpectedly fall on the heads of its inmates. The check put up by the Union Trust Company as evidence of its good faith to carry out its obligations, has been returned and the incident of bond campaign will be forgotten until a brighter fin ancial day dawns.
 Employees Get Money.
 It was the semi-monthly payday at the court house yesterday and the supervisors met for the purpose of drawing the warrants for those who labor diligently and otherwise for the dear people. Fortunately there is no appropriation bill muddle in Yavapai and the employees of the county, in contrast of those of the state, can get their money twice a month with un- failing regularity.
 Population Shifting.
 The population of the county seems to be shifting very rapidly, judging from the number of school districts that have 1apsed lately. For some reason there seems to be a scarcity of children in certain sections of the southern part of the county. This does not mean that the population is dwindling by any means, for the rapid growth of the Jerome, Clarkdale and Verde valley sections more than countcr-balances the losses elsewhere. Orders were made yesterday by the supervisors, upon the recommends ton of the county superintendent of schools, affecting the following school districts: Adding to Oak Ridge school district all of Skull valley school district, which has lapsed on account of not having the required number of children of school age; adding to Humboldt all of Iron King district which has lapsed; adding to Poland all of Providence and Walker school districts; abolishing Harring ton, Columbia, Octave, Peoples valley and Congress Junction school dis tricts, which have lapsed and cannot be added to any other districts on account of their remoteness
 The only other business was re leasing the bond of T. C. Snider in the sum. of $6,714SO on his contract for building the Cherry creek grade, which work was completed and ac- cepted by the county some time age.

CANCER WAS FATAL
(From Wednesdays Daily)

VI AOAAA " NaAAN'AaJ --AL
 C. II. Wood, afflicted with cancer of the stomach, passed away at the county hospital on Monday, where he had been under private treatment. He came from Seligman, where a widow survives. A son resides in Kansas City. The remains are at Rufner's awaiting advices for burial from rela- tives. He was aged about 60 years. success in the sale of its shares here and in the East.
 Colonel L. P. Hansen, of Pasadena, owner of one of the largest blocks of Tom Reed stock, is heavily interested in the Pittsburg Mining and Milling Company, as are likewise a number of people who bought Tom Reed shares upon his recommendation. The stock of the Pittsburg is closely held, as, likewise, is that of the Orion Min ing and Milling Company in which a Los Angeles syndicate is the domin- ant factor. Money from Kingman and other sections of Arizona is being libcrally invested in the shares of the Carter Gold Mining Company. Los Angeles capital is responding gener- ously to the development needs of the Boundary Cone Gold Mines Com pany. From the same source the Ma zona Mining Company is obtaining financial strength. The control of the Telluride Mining, Milling and De Company was purchased recently by George Long, James Me Iver and other holders of United Eastern shares.
 Economy Is Watchword.
 The men who are in charge of min ing operations in the Tom Reed-Gold Road district are economists in the strictcst application of the term. Every dollar expended brings its full return in work and efficiency. Over head charges are cut to the minimum consistent with safe and sane mining operations. High salaries and expen- ,ive suites of offices have no place in he work being done here. Put the money into the development of the property, not into the pockets ot nore or less ornamental officials is he order of the day. This order is being obeyed to the letter. The "fav- pred relative" and the remittance man Ire unknown here; for this camp Is amp of workers.
 The effect of this strict economy nd eliminations of useless timber is everywhere apparent It is evidenced " the efficient and economic plants # machinery; by the class of miners n the job; by the amount of devel- pment work being accomplished; by he monthly output of $165,OOO worth i gold bullion; by the increasing umber of mining realty transfers; by he number of buildings under con by the increase in popula- on. In no other way, however, is it 9 completely demonstrated as by the onhdence displayed by the people of he district in the mines of the dis -ict-a confidence which has the acking of their dollars to so liberal
 degree.

HOT IN MOHAVE BUT
 THINGS ARE MOVING
(By William P. DeWolf.)

OATMAN, July 16-Once upon a time an ancient with a philosophical twist to his mind, volunteered the statement that discomforts as well as comforts are comparative. Accepting his statement at its face value one arrives logically at the conclusion that there is one place hotter than the desert at this season of the year. To speculate further on matters caloric would be as futile as an at tempt to picture the beauty of the cactus bloom, or describe the silent grandeur of the desert night. There fore we who are sojourning on the desert at the present time, gain what solace we can from the philosophy of the ancient, and thank our lucky stars we are not, as yet, at least, resi- dents of that hotter locality.
 The late William Devere, poet and journalist, arrived in the mining camp of Leadville one cold winter's day in 1878, wearing a plug hat and linen duster and packing the GUS tomary armament When he had thawed sufficiently under the genial stimulus of hot whiskey to talk in telligibly, he vouchsafed the informa- ton that he was hunting, with malice aforethough, for the author of Beau tiful Snow" The author of "In the Good Old Summer Time,' would probably be less safe here just now than was the quarry sought by "BilI' Devere.

Where The Money Goes.


 Within the last six or seven months approximately $1OO,OOO have been in vested in the stocks of local mining companies by the people hereabouts. l do not mean to convey the impress sion that in solution so to speak, this generous amount of gold and silver would have been absorbed by the systems of the bibulous had our pro hibition friends not turned off the tap on strong drink; neither is it the intention to convey the impression that in its entirety it was local money. Eighty per cent of it at least was, however, Mohave county money, and generous portion of that eighty per cent was invested by the miners of this district
 Thtee months ago the United Western Mines Company offered 100000 treasury shares at 25 cents per share. This, the company's init ial offering. was oversubscribed with in six weeks, and almost in its en- tirety by the people of the Tom Reed Gold Road District. About the same time the Ivanhoe Consolidated Mines Company offered 100000 treas ury shares at fifteen cents per share, with similar satisfactory results. A little later the Black Range Mining Company disposed of $10,0O0 worth of its stock, locally. The sum total of these sales is $75,OOO. In addition, there are other mining companies whose stock met with a generous sale in this vicinity and elsewhere.
 Brisk Demand For Stock.
 Eli Hilty, one of the locators of the well known Tom Reed mine, has personally and through agents dis posed of a large block of the treas ury shares of the Oatman Mining and Milling Company. The local demand . for this stock was and is brisk. 5. l M. Warmbath, secretary-treasurer ot the Big Jim Gold Mining Company, has placed an initial offering of its shares at ten cents per share. The stock is in steady demand and is list ed on the Los Angeles Stock EX- change. where it is selling at from l2H to 13A cents per share. Big linn stock is meeting with a ready sale in this and other sections of Arizona. Stephen E. Barron. man aging director of the Gold Cliff EX- 2Ioration Company. is meeting with ]

Draw a Cold One.


 Next to mines and mine acreages, the commodity most in popular de- mand here at present is cold drink with a straw in it. You can buy a drink with a straw, but not with a stick" in it. Aridity is not accepted by a community legally dry as an excuse for indulgence in strong and rebellious liquors. Hence the Demon Rum has been thrown 3into the dis card along with roulette wheels, poker chips and the other symbols of our degenerate days; and we are leading the simple life-sustained by milk shakes and diverted by an oc- casiona1 game of ''hearts." True, we now have more money to spend for the substantials of life than during the rollicking period when John Bar leycorn levied heavy toll among us; and this money is being spent for the development of our mines
 After George Long and James McIver had figured out the north west trend of the Tom Reeds rich vein system and had incorporated the United Eastern Mining Company, they asked the people of the Tom Reed-Gold Road Mining District to aid them financially in proving their contention. The latter responding by purchasing 100000 shares of Unit ed Eastern at 25 cents per share. The investment was the most profit able many of them ever made, as there is at this writing approximately S2OOO,OOO worth of ore opened in the United Eastern mine and the stock is selling at from $175 to $2.OO per -to
