Tom Goodman, of Ehrenberg, is a whole team in his ways and his ways are numerous. For instance, he runs the only ferry boat on the Colorado river opposite Ehrenberg. He also runs the River View Hotel (where good board and comfortable rooms may be obtained) ; a stable, corral and other things, too numerous  to mention. Then we know him to be a ''peace commissioner," for have we not seen a very quarrelsome, vicious Indian made good by a little "messenger"  which Tom once sent whistling through the air after the " well-disposed" but worthy red man, who, unfortunately, died before V. Colyer came to this Territory.

Mining Party Visits Bouse Machinery for Smelter Has Already Been Purchased and Paid for (News Article)

BOUSE, Ariz., Oct 27 Bouse is justly elated by the recent Investigation made by the officers of the Clara Consolidated Mining Company, The party including George S. Mitchell, president and general manager. H. L.  Brow, E. V. Elson, secretary and treasurer and Charles Denton, the well known mining engineer and export of Los Angeles, has made a thorough examination and so encouraging is the result that a wonderful shake up in mining activity is expected within the next few weeks.
The officers of the mining company are very enthusiastic over the prospects. Already George Mitchell has bought and paid for the machinery for a smelter,  which will be erected in the very near future. The smelter will be of 300 tons capacity and will provide means of treatment of ores from all the surrounding mines.
The Mining country all through Western Arizona especially on the A. and C. will be Interested In the Improvements and additions the Clara will have. The erection of a smelter of such a size, and the up to, date machinery is a long needed faculty. Needless to say this will mean a general development all through this section of the country and the mine owners are greatly appreciative of Mr. Mitchell's energy.The party was at the mines for over two weeks and left yesterday for Los Angeles to perfect arrangements for the smelter.
Mr. Benton, who is a mining engineer, assaying chemist and general mining expert said with regard to the Clara: "I am very much impressed with the future of the camp. The size and quality of the veins are decidedly remarkable, showing a continuous outcrop of over five miles. The ore bodies are of great size and value: under the new shaft. In Signal, one of the group of mines, which is vertical and distant from the old. incline shaft some 400 feet, they are just breaking into a vein which will give a proven distance of about 600 feet of ore. When you take into consideration that the crosscuts in the old shaft are over 100 feet with no wall, being all ore, it  proves an immense body of mineral immediately available. The mine has been enlarged down to the 600-foot level and throughout is being equipped with larger machinery In order to handle the immense output of ore when the smelter shall have been erected.
