ARIZONA NOTES.
Tucson Star, Oct. %


1t looks as if the Quijotoa mines, the
Peer, Peerless, Crocker and the Weldon,
belonging to the "bonanza firm are
about to start up, as miners are being
hired in the city to work the same.
Five miners were sent out yesterday.
A 170-pound specimen of galena ore,
from the Lotta mine at Olive, is on ex-
hibition at the Palace hotel.
The great Silver King mine, in Pinal
county, has been sold at sheriff IS sale,
and man by the name Of Duke has
bought the same. Since then large
body of ore has been found, and it is
thought that Silver King will again loom
up as in its palmiest days.
The dividend paying mines in Arizona
are the Contention, Copper Queen, Con-
solidated, Silver King, Tombstone and
United Verde. The non-dividend pay
ing mines are the Crocker, Head Center,
J. d. Reymert, Mammoth, Peer, Peer
less, Phoenix, st. Louis, Yavapai and
Yuma.
Says the Flagstaff Democrat: The
sheep men of this county have finished
up their rodeo. Harry Hoxworth, who
was among the rodeo men, informed us
that they visited over 60 bands, and says
there are over 100 bands in the county.
This county contains more sheep than
any county in Arizona, and is the best
sheep county in the west.
Lang, the Los Angeles cattle buyer,
has purchased 1900 head of cattle from
the Snake ranch, and will drive them to
California. He will take the Gila river
route, and anticipates no trouble in get
ting them there in good shape. This is
the extent Of the drive, as the purchaser
does not consider it sale to.handle more
in bunch for so long trip.

A colored lady at Prescott has pro-
duced quite startling result by bleach
ing her hair.
Yuma Sentinel.
During the past week large number
OF homestead locations have been made
on the Algodones grant south of Yuma.
The preliminary legal skirmishing has
already commenced and will be con-
tinued during the coming term of court.
The homestead locators to the number
of twenty or thereabouts have combined
and bought the tax title to the grant
and have employed George M. Knight
and H. G. Davis in their behalf.
The following-named persons have
made locations aggregating about 1000
acres: E. Mayes, r. S. Hatch, F. B.
Wightman, O. H. Willis, Gustaf Bonde,
George M. Knight, Lucy de Corse, H.
G. Davis, Fred Ward, G. M. Thurlow, S.
S. Sumner, w. H. Dixon, P. G.. Cotter,
U. G. Wilder, Henry F. Heahr, Albert
Imperial, Jesus Morales, F. B. Logan, P.
E. Farrell. A meeting of citizens will
be held Thursday evening at the court
house to take steps in protecting their
rights as locators.
No one with much knowledge of the
Algodones grant entertains any other
idea than it is fraud. The confrma-
tion of the title has been up before con-
gress once and withdrawn. Surveyor
General Wasson made lengthy adverse
report on it about ten years ago.
AS matter of course, the land Office
will notify all the locators that the land
they desire to file on is not open to en-
try, pending settlement of title, and the
locators then will have thirty days to
take appeal to the general land Office,
which they will do. For the sake of
progress in this section it is to be hoped
that this vexatious cloud over the title
to large area of fine land may soon be
dispelled.
