LOGAN, January T..


 ED. CITIzEN:-Logan is like Watkins pig, "When it lived, 1t lived in clover. and when 1t died, it died all Over." This mornings mail brought the final death blow to any hope or vain deluslon that work would be resumed or the search for tine hidden treasure continued. Flood and Mscksy have concluded it will bs better to keep It in Mount Ben Nevis for the present, for safety, until such times as they may be httle short and then they will only have to sound the keynote of their whistle as the 70. stamp mill when the pubhc will flock in like geese and Logan will have another big boom. In the meantime you fel- lows that hold SO much stock can get out and rustic work, borrow, and beg of your friends, and pay two or three as- easements. Of course, after fhis you will know just when 70 sell. Oh no; you will never catch us in this boat again. We have paid little dear for this ex- perience, but We do that cheerfully and you will never hear us squeal.
 Experience Is 8 very good thing to have. we would not trade 1t of to Pedro for the prIce of our fare in to Tucson; walking Is good and the weather cool. What blessed thing the camp did not collapse In July or August. So you see there's nothing so bad but what 1t might be worse.
 Packing boxes and teams to haul freight out are in great demand. The Van Hagen and Ruifner families left Monday night; also Dr. Bates. J. Bright shipped his stock of drugs to Casa Grande and will leave with his family by next stage in search of new fields. Charlie Baldwin left this morning and expects tO pitch IS tent III II PasO.
 ''It IS an i'll wind that blows DO one good" The Logan legal tslent are reaping a harvest, Ill law suits and at tachments by tho score, Judge Spicer arrived yesterday from the SpIcer Camp driving fiery high stopper hitched to a lately imported English dog cart. to gaze upon which would have turned Chicago blood green with envy. The Judge can afford to put on style, as one
  a rich strike in the SpIcer mine.
 The past history of our camp has been one Of peace iand quietness. The QuijOtoRs never had the cannibaI taste and propensity of requiring a man for breakfast every morning, but today there have been several little affairs of an unpleasant nature, but so faT they have resulted in nothing more serious than few scratches and black eye or two. Ed Jones thinks these times too "corky" to pay five dollars for the pleas ure of nOckIng fellow down; from this tune he gives any one tLe privilege Of calling him ali the ret names in the dictionary.
 The most Ferplexing question that agitates the inhabitants of Logan Is, "what shall be done with the Sunday school Organ?'
 A few of the ladies last summer pur- chased an organ for the Sunday school from the proceeds of an entertainment of ice cream and a dance. When they realized we were gone in country they met and discussed the dusstion of what snUuId be uone with it. After some de- liberation they concluced to ship It to Tucson for the use of the Baptist Sun day School, with the understanding that 1t should be returned If the camp comes up again. The Ladies at once proceed ed, with the assistance of male friend) to box the instrument rcady tO be shipped. Soon there was great ex- ou the street. The lords of crestion rushing about from one busi- ness place to another, and then whole regiment marched down tO the school house. Anyone could tell by their man ner and faces that repressed a deter mined purpose, that they meant business. Before entering they stopped and held as who should be spOkes- man and finally selected Mir D.
 Mir. b. entered upon the business In hand with much spirit and asked by what authority they had disposed of the organ without first consulting us the citizens of Logan.
 He thought 1t very Unbecom!ng in tho ladies taking the lead in affairs of this kind; in fact the gentlemen were all opposed to anything that savOred of character In woman; that they should, before taking such a meas ure, consult the superintendent. They made an appointment for a meeting at } D. m, for the citizens tO come together and decide the great question by vote. At the appointed hour there was a large male element predOm mating. The meeting was called to order, and a chairman appointed. Vots- were cast for and against sending the organ to Tucson, II for and 21 against. A motion was made and sec Onded that the last person to leave the camp should present it to Coon Can Tor the dusky InaIdens of bis tribe. Old Can being present, in a polite but firm manner, declined the present; be said th6t now the mine was shut down their resources were cut off; no sale Tor hay, milk, venison; shis women would have little time to devote to music would have to put in their time gather ing mesquite beans.
 When you of Tucson see caravan approaching your hOnored and ancient pueblo, don't think it Is circus We are all coming together. There will be a good slzed crowd. The line will be after this order:
 First, the QuiIOtoa band.
 Second, Jumbo with a good sized trunk.
 Third. Judge Spicer Tn his English dog cart.
 Then line of vehicles of every de- loaded with freight and furni- ture and women.
 Next the Chinese.
 Last, but not least, the Bonanza of ficers in their private carriage
 We hope our Tucson friends will meet us with a warm welcome and open arms.
 JUMBO.
