INFLUENZA SEEMS 0N
 WAIVE IN K|NGMAN

Influenza in Kingman is decidedly on the wane, reports of the past few days showing very few cases have de- eloped during the past week, although it is possible that up to the pres ent time in the neighborhood of from one-third to one-half of our popula- \ tion have suffered from its attacks.
 And we'll we might feel thankful that it touched lightly here, allowing that number of cases have been stricken with attacks of the more ser ious variety, the greatest part of even these have recovered and are now fast recuperating their strength. Since last weeks report three besides c. N. Nickell, who passed away this morn ing have succumbed to the effects of the epidemic. These were Teng Wah, a chinese laundryman of Kingman, Paul Smelaneck, miner of the Rico Mine and Joe Milne, a fourteen year old son of Mrs. Milne of Stockton Hill. They passed away Saturday and Sun day and all have been placed to rest in the Mountain View Cemetery.
 Teng Wah has been a resident of Kingman for number of years con- ducting laundry on the west end of Beale street. He took down with in fluenza, but got out too early and talk ing cold, was thrown into pneumonia and rapidly passed away, all efforts to save his life proving futile.
 Smalneck was brought down from the Rico Mine suffering from the ef- fects of "flu" and developed rapidly into a case of pneumonia, from the ef fects of which he was unable to rally.
 Joe Milne was brought down from Stockton Hill with other members of his family, but constant care and all efforts to save him, yielded no fruit. This family was one of the hardest hit of all, losing two members, Mrs. c. H. Smith, who died last week and the young boy mentioned above.
 Today there is but two patients left in the special hospital and it is pro- bable that if it continues as now in- dicated, it will be closed very shortly and Kingman will once more resume its normal stride in the business life.

WELL KNOWN
 PROSPECTOR DIES

Marion Derrick, one of the best known prospectors of this county, died suddenly of heart disease at the hos pital in Kingman last Saturday.
 MT. Derrick was born 66 years ago in Alabama and came to the west in early manhood. He prospected over a large territory and was quite suc- cessful, but like all the old time pros pectors, he was easily separated from his money. For the past fifteen years he has been prospecting in the Blue Ridge mountains, but becoming ill went to the hospital, where he was stricken. He was likable old fellow and his death marks the passing of another of the men who blazed the trails for the present generation.

CAMPBELL IS :" ELECTED GOVERNOR

Late returns from the election of November 9th would indicate without doubt that Thomas E. Campbell was elected governor of Arizona. The ma jority will not be large, but it will leave little doubt in the minds of the people and will be such that there will not again be the long drawn out legal battle for the title.
 Governorships in Arizona come high, but evidently candidates want them and are willing to pay the price. The cost of the contest two years ago was estimated to be over $60,000 and some one had to meet these costs.
