MINER GIVES ESTATE TO
MOHAVE CO. CHILDREN

One Christmas eve several years
ago, George Miller, a pioneer prospec-
tor of Mohave county, was induced
by his friend, Bill Welsh, now coun-i
tyr recorder of Mohave county, to at
tend a community Christmas tree for
the benefit Of the children in Oatman.
It was the first community tree
for the children that Miller had ever
seen and he was greatly impressed
with the joy of the children over their
presents and bags Of candy. He told
his friend that he never knew that.
children could get SO much real pleas
ure from q Christmas tree and declar-
ed if he ever struck it rich that he
was going to provide for the children.
Welsh forgot the expressions of his
old friend until several months before
his death, on December 6, 1917, when
the old prospector asked that E. Elmo
Bollinger, now judge of the superior
court of Mohave county, be called as
he desired to make his will.
His request was granted and he
made his will bequeathing all of his
estate consisting of several thousand
dcllars in cash and four mining claims
to trust fund for the children of Mo-
have county. The will made the
treasurer of the county the trustee
OF the fund, and it was witnessed by
Judge Bollinger and Ross H. Blakelv,
now county attorney Of Mohave coun-
ty.
The will, however, was lost or de-
stroyed in some manner and never
could be found after Miller had died.
Soon after his death, Mrs. Minnie
Wilson brought to light a will which
The Coconino sun., 1923-04-13

left the entire estate to herself and at
once the county began a fight, con-
tending that this will is not the gem
uine will OF the old prospector.
Mrs. Wilson won in the lower court,
but when the case was taken to the
supreme court on appeal the judg-
ment was reversed and the case re-
manded fol 9 new trial and upon a
second trial of the case the will intro
duced by Mrs. Wilson was declared
The Coconino sun., 1923-04-13

void and the estate ordered turned
over 20 the county treasurer as trus-
tee Of the fund for the children Of
the county.
This was done last fall and Wayne
Hubbs, then county treasurer Of Mo
have county, but now state treasurer,
became the, first trustee of the fund.
The will provides that the trustee can
spend the fund for anything he de-
sires TO get for the children, whether

SEATTLE HAS
THE ADVANTAGE

The future should bring n great
trade development between Seattle
and the Philippines. Freight rates TO
Pacific ports are all the same, but
the fact that Seattle Is three days
nearer than California ports places
Seattle in an advantageous position
In addition TO receiving freight more
quickly. this differential means the
saving - a weeks time for the bust
ness man who makes the trip
Seattle should be alive TO its op-
portunities In the Orient and espe,
ciaily in the Philippines. Tho oppor-

hold possibilities beyond the mag
