 been put in very good condition. Team
 and auto travel to that section of the
 Wallapai mining district is now brisk.
 T. E. Pollock, banker of Flagstaff
 and Kingman and one of the largest growers of sheep and cattle in the state, was Kingman visitor several days this week looking after his various interests here.
 J. B. Jones and F. s. Dickerson, of Seligman, were Kingman visitors several days this week. The gentlemen are interested in cattle and mines and we rather expect to see them branch out into big mine owners in this county.
 w. P. Mahoney, Mohave county's representative in the lower house of the Arizona legislature, came in from Oatman the first of the week and de- parted Monday to Phenix, where he will attend the extra session of that body.
 Senator Henry Lovin, who has been on the Big Sandy looking after his cat tie interests, arrived in Kingman We'd nesday last and will leave Sunday for Phenix, where he has been called to attend the extra session of the legislature. He reports stock in the Sandy country looking fine.
 Walter Shay, who has been special officer for the Santa Fe railroad and one of the best fellows that ever wore badge, has been appointed chief of police of San Bernardino. MT. Shay was at one time chief of police of the Mormon City and acquitted himself with honor and credit,
 The work of building a new wagon road from Kingman to the timber country of the Wallapai mountains is now being carried on with celerity. Quite force of men are at work on the grade and within a week or ten days the road will be passable to the summit. When completed it will make of the mountain a most inviting sum- mer resort.
 Drs. H. w. Swigert and c. s. Lilly, opticians of Denver, were in Kingman this week on their round of calls on their large clientele in Kingman and vicinity. The gentlemen are widely known in Arizona, where they do an immense annual business, and have made friends at every place visited. Their work is of the best and when they once treat client they are sure of his business forever.
 John E. Russell, the well known Prescott attorney, was Kingman visitor this week, going over into the Oatman section. He reports that he was successful in a recent suit brought against himself and associates in min- ing deal in Yavapai county court, at the hearing of which Judge Ellis of this county presided. The suit was brought to recover commission on the sale of a mine that was never consummated. But just think of lawyer being sued for F, ,OO0$.
 A number of Santa Fe officials visit ed Kingman last Tuesday for purposes of inspection and also to pave the way for an agreement with the cattlemen covering the claims for damage arising out of the killing of cattle by the rail road company in this county. The party was composed of J. A. Christie, Supt. Arizona Division; J. w. Glasgow, travelling freight and passenger agent; w. M. Miller, the new claim agent; Robert Irwin, assistant claim agent; A. c. Mcqueen, live stock agent; and J. w. Wood, inspector of buildings and bridges. The gentlemen went out to the Starkey ranch during the day, where the conference was held with the cattlemen there assembled on the roundup. The MINER acknowledges a visit of the gentlemen Tuesday after noon.
