I
The Journal has received a copy
of the Mohave County Miner, pub-
lished at Kingman, Arizona, which
contains two interesting stories of
new gold discoveries and operations
in which A. G. Cushman is concerned
m that district. In one of the mines
being developed a ledge has been
struck carrying a gold content as
high as $500 a ton. while several
mines in the district are working in
very profitable ledges.
Mr. Cushman is interested in the
Union Pass Mining Company, which
has several good working prospects
under the Big Four and Cushman
Fraction groups, one ef which ad-
joins the mine in which the big strike
was made and through which the
extension has been traced. He and
others joined ]i the opening of
new townsite which was christened
Tristate, an(] romises to boom with
the new life iven gold mining in
that part of Arizona.

THE 1921 ASSESS4ENT
On Monday, August Ist, the Coun-
ty Board of Equalization will begin
sessions at the Court House in Shel-
ton foe the equalization and correc-
tion of taxes on the rolls for 1921
just completed by the County As-
sessor. This is the time when chang-
es or corrections can be best mad-e,
and the board is prepared to hear
.the complaints of taxpayers regard-
mg assessment figures. The board
will probably be in session on sever-
al other clays of the week, or will
set special days to meet non-resident
taxpayers, but those who desire to
know about their assessmests should
appear on the opening day, Monday.
PAVING DETOURS CUTTING
HIGHWAY AUTO TRAFFIC
Paving work on the highway and
the detours required to reach Shelton
from the South has resulted in a
marked decrease in the auto traffic
over the Olympic highway, and is
not pleasing to those who have made
extra preparation to cater to the pub-
lic. There seems to be more than
usual of the camping element, who
have their outfit along and are found
camped in all the pleasant spots along
the way. Once the highway is paved
our troubles will be over and for-
gotten in gliding over the smooth
way.
CHANGES MADE IN "
STAGE SCHEDULES
In order to handle the passenger
traffic between Shelton and Olympia
under the increased mileage neces-
sary each of the stage lines has
dropped one of its trips. The mail
stage now leaves Olympia at 7 and
3, Shelton at 11 and 6 p. m., and the
Thompson-Dunbar line leaves Shelton
at,:7 and 3, and Olympia at 11 and
5:30 o'clock. This still leaves four
daily round trips between the two
points. The fare will be $2 while
he extra run Js necessary.
CAMPS RESUME AUGUST 15TH
• It is reported that August 15th
has been set for the buskers and fall-
era to begin their work in the Simp-
