 MT. Nick Darcy, the President of the Adams Mining Company, has been in Katherine for several days now looking over the property belonging to his company. MT. D'Arcy reports that great progress is being made in the crosscut now being made in the Adams Mine, and that the indications are that the ore body will be struck very shortly.
 The Katherine Extension is now about fifty feet from the center of the shaft with their crosscut at the two hundred and fifty foot level, and the Superintendent, Mr. Abadie, stat es that the character of the rock is changing constantly, and some very fine looking quartz has been found. They are expected to strike the ore. vein very shortly.
 The Treasure Vault is working a "First Motion Ford Hoist", and the shaft is being rapidly put down. This shaft is being sunk in the foot wall, and the vein is only occasionally broken into, but where it is cut the ore shows very good values.
 The cement is being poured today at the Katherine Mine for their big compressor and engine. Great pro- gress is reported in the development work now being done at this great mine. Superintendent Dimmick said yesterday that he had heard the blasting at the Katherine Extension for the first time underground. Messrs. D'Arcy, Kilker, Brethour and Nourse visited ,Kingman Tues day night to attend the meeting of the Chamber of Mines.
 The first prairie schooner to arrive in Katherine came in last night, con- taining man, his wife and baby. They went through to the Colorado river, where the feed is best for their horses. The boom is now on. MT. and Mrs. Sawyer are building a nice little house on Lot 2, Block 16, Sutro Avenue.
 'Mrs. Pickens E. Woodson and two children arrived in Katherine last Tuesday from their former home in Globe, Arizona, to join MT. Woodson.
 Al Lambert, proprietor of the Kath- erine Confectionery spent day in Kingman this week attending to busi- ness connected with his store. MT. Lambert is adding more and more stock to his store daily, and has lately received some very attractive show cases. I HNWUM
 Leonard Lohr, Superintendent of the Federal mine, spent the day in Kingman last Saturday.
 c. w. Zuelzke and Stephen Linka, were visitors to Oatman last Satur- day night on business. Mir. Zuelzke is the proprietor of the Katherine Cafe, and MT. Linka is the proprietor of the Katherine garage.
 The Katherine hotel is almost fin ished. Very attractive furniture has been placed in the rooms which are large and airy. Most of the rooms have already been taken by local resi- dents, but MT. Hugh McCloud states that he will always have ample &C., comodations for transients. This is the most needed improvement that has been added to this fast growing little city.
 It is reported that many inquiries are being daily received concerning lots and locations for new business houses at Katherine. As the mines now working add additional shifts, and new mines open up-and the re- ports are current that at least two more properties are to be started inn mediately-the population of this town will increase in leaps and bounds.
 At the recent election of the school trustees of the Stoll District-Kath- erine School-the following named ladies were elected by an unanimous vote of the town: Mrs. c. w. Zuelzke, Mrs. Alonzo Terra and Mrs. Ernest Leonard. The old board of trustees, which had been temporarily appointed by the County Superintendent of Schools, at once gave over the work to the new board, and the Katherine school is now successfully launched in the hands of capable board, and an excellent teacher. The only thing that is worrying the teacher now is that the little building will soon be too small for the pupils coming in daily. N---<S- ----s si
