PIONEER OF COUNTY DIED
 HERE MONDAY NIGHT

Peter Caffery, one of the pioneers of this county and one of the early settlers on the Comstock, died in King man last Monday nght, death being due to old age and a complication of disorders.
 Pete Caffery was born in Boston, Massachusetts, about 80 years ago and while still a boy sailed as cabin boy around the Horn to San Francisco. When the boom broke on the Comstock he was among the first to reach the bonanza camp of Virginia City. He made and lost a fortune there and finally went to Candalaria, where he again amassed a goodly fortune. Dealing in stocks finally depleted his hoard and when Tomstone was found he and others of the Comstock and Grass Valley miners migrated there. With William Cole and Joe Laboree he came to Mohave county in 1881 and has resided here ever since. He was wholesouled, warm-hearted fellow, always willing to aid those in dstress. He had no enemies and everybody that knew him was his friend. May he rest well under the sod in the land he loved so well.
 The funeral will take place from the Van Marter undertaking rooms to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock, burial being in Mountain View cemetery.

CONTRACT IS LET FOR
 CHLORIDE R Q A D s

Last Thursday afternoon the Mo- have County Highway commission met at it's office in the courthouse and opened and considered bids on contracts for the building of the high way from the main Chloride road to Mineral park and the repair and build ing of a road from Chloride to the west side of the range toward Search light ferry. Bids were received from the State of Arizona Highway depart ment for cost, plus $10 on each pro ject and the contract was awarded to that department. Work is to be und- CT way on the projects as soon as out fits can be moved onto them.
 On the Searchlight road the heavy grade over the summit of the range will be reduced, sharp curves eliminat- ed, the grade widened and safeguard ed and a good road built to a conncc- tion with the highway north neaE the Tuckahoe mine. The building of this road will reach out 10 miles on the White Hills road, cutting out many bad spots and giving that part of the country a good throughfare.
 At Mineral Park the road is to be kept out of the wash along the east side of the canyon to a point above the old school house, whence it will be carried across the main wash to the high ground in the town. This viii be great convenience to the people of that section, as it will safeguard the road from the heavy floods that fill the canyon and destroy the road at all seasons of the year. This road will connect up with the main highway to Chloride and give the people easy ac- cess to the old camp.
