Major II. +. Beebe and two friends
moneyed gentlemen from Carthage.Mo..
passed through Eng.e the first OF the
week en- route to Pima county. Arizona.
A Carthage paper received by J. IL.
Beeson contains the information that
the Major and others have organized n
mining company OF some Pima county
properties which lie sixty miles or
whereabouts south Of Tucson. and they
are now out examining their posses
slons. The heat OF the region which
they are visiting is so great that cobble
stones melt 10 glass In the sun, and the
| drouth is 80 excessive that water can
not exist even In a canteen. After a
short experience down there the Major
and his friends will he glad enough to
