KINGMAN PEOPLE VISIT NEW TOWNSITE NEAR THE KATHERINE
The city of Tristate was christened baptized and started on its way to a glorious future last Tuesday when about 25 cars of people from Kingman, Las Vegas, Searchlight, and Needles made pilgrimage to the town site to see that the infant was named and that the ceremonies were carried out properly.

They were and Tristate is now the nucleus for a thriving mining district close to the line of California and Arizona but being wholly in the state of Nevada. The men to whose energy the new town has been brought into existence are E A Shaw A G Cushman Ed Chafey and James Cashman. These men had secured a large amount of mining land which engineers declare to be the west extension of the Katherine lodes and are shaping matters so that a large amount of work will be done as soon as the weather cools sufficiently to allow of outdoor operations.

In a gently sloping cove extending into the foothills of Spirit mountain the new town is situated. It is well protected from floods from the mountain and overflow from the Colorado river and is only about a mile in direct line from the Katherine mill. The site is all that a townsite could wish for. Above it are many springs from which sufficient water for the town needs and the Colorado river flows right before its door giving ample water for fire and irrigation needs.

The gathering of people was cosmopolitan visitors of every country being in evidence and there were ladies there too who added attractively to the big gathering. The day was torrid but everyone appeared to take on enjoyment suited to the occasion. There were eats and drinks galore the ladies making delicious fruit punch to wash down the delightful lunches that had been prepared for the occasion. The trip across the river was made in the big motor ferry that had been moved from the Cottonwood valley to this point where it is to take care of the traffic between the two towns. The cars were brought to the landing some distance below the Katherine mill and the visitors took the ferry to the new town Hastily constructed shades were put up to supplement the tents and under these shades the birth of the village was duly christened It was a gala occasion and everybody appeared to forget the heat in their enjoyment of the festivities.

After luncheon many of the men who are interested in the mining game visited the big lodes of the camp and were duly impressed with their importance. The largest vein crops In a big bluff against which the high waters of the Colorado river swirl. A tunnel had in some past age been driven into the vein from the river side but the high water had completely submerged this work. From the outcrop chunks of ore were broken that showed free gold and it is said that the vein carries rather high mill values. The whole surrounding territory has been located and work will soon be under way to prove up to potentialities of the big veins. The country surrounding the camp is well mineralized and we are under the impression that one of the big gold camps of Nevada will soon be under active development. The men at the head of affairs feel confident that they have a good thing and will press the work to the limit.

A new road has been laid out from Hico spring to the camp the outlet being either to Needles or Searchlight, or the route may be used to get to the coast.

In the cool of the evening the party returned to their homes well satisfied with their participation in baptismal ceremonies.
