Important to Subscribers Under a recent ruling of the Postoffice Department all subscribers to newspapers must be paid in advance, or the privilege of sending papers through the mails as second ctass matter will be revoked.

SMITH SAWYER. A representative of the Pat Driscoll estate syndicate, direct from New York City, was in Kingman this week locking up the property and vast moneyed interests belonging to that great estate. He brought with him a typewritten copy of the story that went the rounds of the press a few years ago detailing the eccentric manner of living of this Arizona millionaire, of the vast wealth realized from the mines at Chloride, and his custom of walking over before breakfast daily from his home in Ash Fork to the mines at Chloride. As the distance between Ash Fork and Chloride is about 150 miles, and although reputed to be a great walker he should have worked up an excellent appetite by the time he reached the mines. But the heirs are not taking this into consideration.

They are looking for the millions that this peculiar old character left behind, and there is no reason to doubt that he left it behind, as no one has ever been accused of taking anything with him to the place that Pat Driscoll is now popularly supposed to inhabit. And while the whole business is a myth no one should interfere with the pleasure of the Pat Driscoll syndicate in searching for the mythical millions of this mythical old miner, who would undoubtedly have left millions to his millions of heirs had he only struck the right lead among the great veins of gold and silver of Mohave county. G. W. Beecher was called to Phenix last Saturday by the sudden and critical illness of Mrs.

Beecher. A telegram was received from there Wednesday night conveying the information that Mrs. Beecher had died the night before of cancer of the stomach. The funeral took place in Phenix Thursday. Mrs.

Beecher was one of the pioneer women of this county, having come here in the early seventies. She was known and respected by all the old timers and her death will be generally regretted. She leaves besides a husband five children, Mesdames F. and J. S.

Withers, Gladys, Ruth and Sumner Beecher. Following the resignation of Fred W. Morrison, the board of supervisors, last Monday, filled the vacancy by ajpointing W. G. Blakely, the appointment to take effect on the first day of May.

Judge Blakely has been district attorney of Mohave county so many years that it will not be amiss to the people of Mohave county to again find him occupying the old rooms in the courthouse. The many friends of Fred Morrison regret the move he is making, but all wish him the best of good luck in his new home in Los Angeles. E. M. Carrow this week received half a dozen naval orange trees which have been sent out to the ranch on the Big Sandy.

If the experiment of orange growing is successful more trees will be put in and the sylvan Sandy may become one of the greatest orange sections of the territory. Oranges have been grown on Bill Williams Fork, but the owners of the ranch allowed the trees to die out before coming into full bearing. Carl Krook, who represented this county in the last regislature, but who is now farming and mining on the Big Sandy, was an attendant at this term of the district court. Prohibition in Illinois. Last Tuesday's election in Illinois was awaited by the people of this country with a great deal of interest.

It was the first fight in the states in which the brewers and retail liquor interests were pitted directly against prohibition. The results were favorable to the prohibition element, 887 towns and precincts out of 1014 going dry as a result. The liquor interests had three hundred speakers in the field, among which were many isters, and the fight was made on the plea of curtailing personal liberty of individuals. The result of the election is the closing up of 1100 saloons, out of 3,000 formerly in 'operation. There are one hundred and two counties in the state and SO far thirty-six are totally dry, and nineteen practically dry, leaving only forty-seven wet counties.

The results of the elections have disclosed to the liquor interests the fact that the people are wholly against the maintainance of the dives and propose to drive them out, and that sooner or later saloons will have to be operated under laws that permits of no sales to men who drink to excess. Judge M. Redman Disappears. Judge M. Redman, one of the best known citizens of Kingman disappeared from his home last Monday morning, since which time no trace of him has been found, although diligent search has been made.

At the time of his disappearance he had been quite ill and it is feared that he wandered away while temporarily insane. He recently came in from his camp in the Union Pass section and told friends that he intended to remain here for some months. A systematic search of the surrounding country is being made. In his weakened state, it is argued, that it would be impossible for him to go far and the belief is general that his body will be found in some out of the way place close to town. Every rumor is being followed up diligently and it is to be hoped that some clue will be found today.

Judge Redwan is about -five years of age, grey hair, high forehead, long reddish grey mustache, thin face; walks with stoop in right shoulder, and is about six feet in hight. Talks with slight German accent. A reward of fifty dollars will be paid for information that will lead to his discovery. Judge Redman is or was one of the most amiable, generous hearted men in the world and ha's scores of friends in this county. Their hope is that he will be found alive and well, but fear the worst.

Bazaar and Dinner. The Ladies Aid will hold a bazaar and dinner in the north room of the Luthy block next Tuesday afternoon. A collection of fancy and useful articles will be on sale at two o'clock and strawberries and cake will be on sale all the afternoon. A regular dinner will be served from 5 to price 35 cts. A big oil train was wrecked early this morning on the summit of the mountain at Yampai.

Nearly all the train went in the ditch and the wreck train bad to be called out from Needles. The west bound flyer is back of the wreck and did not arrive in Kingman until nearly noon today. While making deep excavations in the Universidad church at Guadalajara, masons found a number of human skeletons in a subterranean passageway. Some of the skeletons were stretched on the floor, others were standing, and others were leaning against the walls. The authorities have been notified of the discovery.Chihuahua Enterprise.
