CELEBRATE THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING
Capt. and Mrs. Samuel B. Pax
ton Have Fifty Years of
Welded Life

AT the beginning of the Civil War,
there lived in California, Washington
county. Pa. a young man worthy of
special mention.
He was among the first to answer
the call for volunteers and his loyalty,
patriotism, physical ability made him
tru eand brave soldier, from start
to nnish. He never f1inched from do
ing his full duty, with the courage of
non, in some forty-nine battles.
While he has no special liking for
war. the patriotism in his makeup,
made 1t an easy matter for him to
decide to shoulder musket, as a
wiling soldier in defense of the Stars
and Stripes. He did not seek honor
or office, his aim being to do the
duties or a good soldier, faithfully and
Well In whatever rank he was placed,
yet the honor of First Sergeant, First
Lieutenant and Captain came to him
without the asking.
At the close of the war he returned
to his native town and county and en-
gagged in the business of building
boats, renewing his social acquaint-
ance with young woman and in fact
the admiration each had for the other
was mutual.
On September 12, 1866, Captain
Samuel B. Paxton and Miss Harriet
Phillips. were. married. Tomorrow
they celebrate their golden wedding.
Their family consists of two sons,
Joseph T., and Carl; three daughters,
Mary, now Mrs. ]. d. Bergman;
Nellie, Mrs. William Atkins: Margaret,
Mrs. Clyde Lewis, all of whom and a
host of other relatives and friends.
Will be at the anniversary, except
Carl who is with the Tenth Regiment
in the Philippines.
AS soldier. civilian, boatbuilder, hus-
father citizen nd
friend, Captain Paxton is in the front
rank. Mrs. Paxton is a noble, low
ing. devoted wife, mother, neighbor
and friend
The Captain has been in the employ
OF the State for the last fifteen years
nrst In the State Treasurers Office, but
Tor the last ten years or so in the
State Department.
Captain and Mrs. Paxton left for
California, Washington county, their
former home Saturday morning and
expect to return in about a week.
All of Captains associates and
friends of the family join in extending
hearty congratulations.

CLUE ID IDENTITY
 OF VICTIM OF DESERT

Coroner Cohenour yesterday re- ceived information as to the probable identity of the man whose body was found in Wallapai valley by George Kayser last Saturday. George Lock- wood, who lives at the foot of Stock ton Hill reported that a man answer ing the description of deceased called at his cabin about two weeks ago, ap- parently suffering from excessive all coholism. The mans name was Mike Mullen and he was a miner.
 The stranger insisted that there were two dead met at the door of the cabin, and that he had to come to Kingman to iberate a brother who was incarcerated in the county jail. To his crazed mind, the brother had killed man and was being held for the crime. He went away and nothing further was heard from him. Mullen had brothers somewhere in this coun- try, who follow mining for a liveli- hood, but their whereabouts are un- known.

WELL PLEASED BY
 OBSERVATIONS IN THE
 UNION PASS SECTION

Ralph A. Meyer, consulting engi- Reer, accompanied by A. J. Beecher, secretary-treasurer of the Oatman- Revenue Gold Mines company, return ed to Oatman yesterday evening after having spent several days in the Union Pass district. Mir. Meyer was primarily engaged in making an ex- animation of the Oatman-Revenue properties there.
 In addition to his professional du- ties he took advantage of visiting sew eral of the more important properties in the immediate vicinity, among them the Tyro, Sheep Trail, Boulevard and Banner. He expressed himself as be- ing much impressed with the Union Pass section in general and was sur prised to see the large amount of de- velopment work being performed.
 The width and extent of the dyke and vein system throughout the sec tion, together with system of cross fractures, all well mineralized, inn pressed MT. Meyer very favorably. An other feature which he noticed was that the rhyolite dykes are not only more silicified, as a whole, in com parison with the rhyolite dykes which occur in the Oatman-Tom Reed sec tion, but more important in that the dykes in the Union Pass section in the majority of cases carry very fair values at surface.
 It seems that a great many people look upon the Union Pass section as being very remote from the rest of the Oatman district; this is wrong, inasmuch as the Union Pass can be reached from Oatman by a very good automobile road in a northwesterly direction for a distance of 23 miles and also from Kingman in a due west erly direction, not more than 26 miles distant. Mir. Meyer is of the opinion that as soon as cheap electric power is obtained the main problem will have been solved.

BURROS RIDE AWAY ON
 THEIR NOISY RIVAL

The man who introduced umbrellas among prOspectOrs of Alaska has nothing on W. L. Kerr, who has taken his pair of burros to Kingman on an auto truck. Almost everything else is being carried as freight by trucks and why not burros? They have played and are still playing their part as trail blazers, of finding the elusive nuggets and gold lodges that are bringing thousands of people and hun dreds of autos and trucks to Arizona, and they have many champions who make all but idols of long-eared ami mals with high baritone accomplish ments to dissipate the midnight gloom.

TORPEY TELLS NATIVE
 SONS BIG JIM Is
 COMING BACK STRONG
IFrom oatman Section Daily Min.r.l

ArEom OaImau Sectl0n Daily M1ner.l
 F. T. Torpey, manager of the Gold , rOad-Bonanza Mining company, has returned from a trip to San Fran cisco and brings back a verdict from what evidence was placed before him that Oatman is going to get its share of the good times this fall.
 ''There are a few bears and met them," he said. q showed them the mistake they were making. They are knocking Big Jim mostly and have fshorted' it more or less. I know most of the brokers there and went direct to headquarters and told them the situation here, as I know it. The Big Jim is the bone of contention and a report has been spread that it had agreed to sink to the 600 but had started the present drifting instead This caused a big block of stock to be thrown on the market and the price went down to 70. I notice now it is up, around 93 again. I look for more 'shorting' and for the price to fall again, but it will come back stronger than ever, for it has the ore. One of the reports is that the ore on the 485 is not as rich as the 400. The management gives everyone who be- ieves such reports every opportunity to satisfy himself that they are not true. You can go into the mine and sample it for yourself or have an engineer to do it. Everything is open and above board and according to my idea it is being run. right. There is no excuse for such reports as long as it is being managed in that way. Even if the ore is not there, which you and I know is not true, it would not be unusual. The Goldroad mine has had good ore some times at one level and not so good at another below it, but it has gone right along taking out the money and is mine just the same.
 "But these reports have to have their run and they will die out after awhile, for they are false and the facts will be known in due course in spite of the bears and knockers"
 MT. Torpey states that the Gold road Bonanza is down $50 feet and that it will continue to the 400 or, perhaps, the 800 before any crosscut- ting and drifting are done. It is within 150 feet of where some of the best ore was taken from the Goldroad and he feels that there is small pcs sibility of it's not making a big mine like it's famous neighbor.

VISITING KINGNAN.

P. J. Miller of Yuma, a candidate for corporation commissioner, was a Kingman visitor yesterday and will go to Chloride and Oatman before rturn- ing home. For more than g years a resident of Arizona, Mir. Miller has all ways borne honorable reputation. He was a member of the first state tax commission and in that position made good with the people. Recently he has been deputy state land commis- sioner and appraiser of public lands for the state Hand commission. He is an honorable, conscientious man and would make a splendid member in the corporation commission.

DANCE PROVES AN
 ENJOYABLE AFFAIR

The dance given by the chamber of commerce Tuesday night proved an enjoyable affair, but was not sue cess financially. Threatening weather caused a large crowd of Kingman folk to abandon the trip, and Chloriders living at distance from town stayed away for the same reason. The com mittee members in charge of the af- fair state they hope to break even but fear there will be a slight deficit.
 The directors of the chamber say they will now get funds by popular subscription and believe that every public spirited Chlorider will respond heartily to the work of the organiza- tion. At this particular time when the question of title to the townsite is of such a vital nature to the property holders there is little doubt but "self preservation" will prove a convincing argument on the part of the chamber which has stirred up these matters, and which will continue to keep the interests of the community to the fore

LEG BROKEN IN
AUTO ACCIDENT
In attempt TO Drive Dog
from path of auto, John
Dorsey suffers broken
leg.

There was an unfortunate automobile
accident east of Paw Paw on the Terri
torial road Wednesday evening, as re-
suit OF which John Dorsey suffers
broken leg. The circumstances OF the
accident as stated to the writer are as
follows:
James Bale was standing with loaded
wagon in front OF the Dorsey residence
on the south side of the road. John
Dorsey stood at the front wheel OF the
wagon talking to Mr.. Bale. Dorsey's
dog lay 90 the north side OF the road
opposite Mr.. Dorsey. Carl VOLTS was
driving east with his auto. he sounded
the horn and Mr.. Dorsey started across
the road to scare the dog from the path
OF the machine. In his efforts to save
his dog he kept coming towards the car
and was struck, probably by the rear
wheel, breaking both bones of the leg
below the knee. 1t was a most unfor.
tunate accident and will cause Mr.. Dor.
sey intense suffering for weeks, Mr..
Wolfs regrets the affair, but feels that
under the circumstances it could not
have been avoided.
