 On another page will be found the Articles of Incorporation of the South Solomonville Canal Co. This compan- is composed of representative property holders in Solomonville and surround ing country, and the taking out, of this new canal, which is virtually an extension of the San Jose ditch, will result in great benefit to our town, as about three sections of excellent land will come under it as now proposed, and as the company intends to gradu- ally extend and enlarge it much more land will eventually lie under this ca nal, and people wishing to. build resi- dences III the southern portion of the town will no longer be compelled to depend on the waste water of the San Jose ditch for irrigation purposes Work will be commenced at once on this canal and the probabilities are that water will be running through it within the next two months.
 Constable Jim Smith came down from Clifton Tuesday, bringing with him a woman named Smith, charged with obtaining money under false pre- lenses. The woman, who is a gypsy, went up to Clifton from Solomonville a short time ago to gather in few shekels telling fortunes, etc., and while there found a Mexican in the last stage of consumption and offered to cure him in seven days time, requiring only one hundred dollars to get the planets to moving in proper shape. She got part of the money and left the camp, and when the Mexican found out that his planet was not moving, he raised a howl and the woman was taken back to Clifton, and given hundred days in county jail to com plete her astrological education, as she seems deficient in some of the more minute branches of this profession
 On last Sunday Capt. J. M Thomas returned from trip to the Aravaipa Mining District, and reports busy camp as springing up at that place. The work so far has been confined to the surveying and building of roads principally. A large number of men and teams are now at work and the machinery will commence to arrive next month. Capt, Thomas was very favorably impressed with the camp and says that it will be one of the liveliest in Arizona in short time. He says that they have any quantity of ore and are going to spend over $500,OOO before they begin to operate the mines.
 J. H. Vaughn has a ton of ore from one of his mines in the Lone Star dis trict across the river from Solomon vile sacked and ready for shipment. Ore from this mine assays upwards of 80 ozs. in silver, but MT. Vaughn wishes to get mill run on a ton of it. There are now about 12 or 15 men working in this district on the different mines. Considerable ore is on the dumps ready for shipment and if any of the sales now being negotiated go through it will not be surprising if good camp springs up in this district.
 A site for the school house has been selected. The building will be erected on the piece of ground east of the court house on the Bowie road. The selection is good one.
