returned to Phoebe yesterday from Arl-
IONA by way of San Francisco and Eu-
reka. He is at present suffering from
injuries resulting from being thrown
from horse. When he sufficiently re-
covers he will return to the Chiricahua
mountains, in Arizona. Mr.. O'Dougherty
left Phoebe for Arizona fifteen months
ago with party who had complete
prospecting outfit. He gives very
graphic exposition of its mineral re-
sources, but does not believe that it has
the immense wealth generally credited
to it. Most of the time he has been alb
sent has been spent in the Chiricahua
mountains, and he, together with the
party with whom be was, made some
good locations. Having the necessary
assaying apparatus with them they re-
jected anything that assayed under $50.
He states that nothing can yet bs told
about Arizona. as all the work done as
yet ia slim, no mine having been ex-
plored to the depth of three hundred
feet.
A USEFUL ASIMAL.--"Blank" owns
dog named "Ssm," {namesake of s. J.
T.) who proves himself to be an in
valuable animal in regaid to catering to
his masters epicurean tastes. When
ever "Blank" feels like having spring
chicken breakfast he notifies "Sam, and
forthwith a chicken mysteriously disap.
pears from neighboring hen-roost, and
"Blank" is RECALLED with the article OF the
| season. "Sam," however, overreached
himself the other day. He started on an
| expedition without orders, the result of
which was he returned with young pull
let that hardly had its pin feathers
grown. This had to be returned to its
owner with apologies for the mishap, Tin
| not taking one of larger growth) and the
administering of castigation to Sam"
that will teach him in future to select
only eatable chickens.
