Judge Ruggles was e years old, and came to Arizona at the close of the war from Pike County, Missouri.
 Deceased leaves two children, a grown daughter and boy about Ii years old, to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father. The Judge was at all times sociable, and his honor was never questioned by those who knew him. He was at one time h. dian Agent on the Pima reservation, and afterwards Register of the Land office. which position he resigned.-- Tucson Citizen.

This camp has been boomed beyond any reasonable degree of necessity, and as as d consequence great many men are docking here in search of employment The supply is in excess oi the demand, and We consider it a duty to sound a note of warning. There are great opportunities here for the prospector with little means, but for the man without any money, our advice is not to be too eager to reach this camp. Too much ink is being spread in the endeavor to build a town, and too little interest Is being taken in developing our wonderful mineral resou-ces.-San Pedro Out look.
