Sale of the Ru.tsr Mine.

Capt. Burgess, the we'll known mining operator of southern Arizona, arrived in Prescott last Saturday and immediately closed the safe of the Buster mine for S25.O0O in cash. The purchase was made from E. W. Wells, John A. Rush, T. W. Boggs, and the estate of D. R. Poland. The mine lays in the Peck district, and is only two miles distant from the Peck mine. 1t is one of the old est located properties in Yavapai county, and is exclusively copper in its mineral character, very rich with immensely large vein. T. W. Boggs and the late D. R. Poland were the original locaters, but owing to the usual litigation, which invariably eats. up every mining claim, and its inacessibility. nothing more than development work has been done on it. English money it is said purchased this property, and Capt. Burgess stated before leaving his company would at once erect very expensive plant and commence sinking on the mine with a large force of miners.

Sands va. Wright,

The suit in Justice Fleury's court yesterday in the above case, wherein Reporter Sands attempted to collect fees for services rendered to Lawyer Wright was decided by a jury of six in favor of the defendant. Each litigant represented himself, and legal logic was not in it. They dwelt ou the others reputation for truth and veracity to such a whole some extent that Judge Fleury was compelled to muzzle each beligerant and shut the door of his legal sanct- uary for fear of having the big pine tree outside poisoned by the obscen- ity of the odor escaping from such tongues. It was a boisterous case throughout and would only be characterteristic of the free and easy days of '49.

The Rainmakers~s

A dispatch from Fort Scott, Kan sas, says that agents of the Inter
 state Artificial Rain Company of Goodland, Kansas, arrived in this city last night and to-day entered
 into a contract with a committee of citizens whereby, for the sum of Sl,OOO, they will produce one-half inch of rain over an area of 5O0 square miles in three days. They began operations in a born on a high elevation of the prairie. No
 one was allowed. under any circum- stances to remain in the barn with them. The rainmakers stated to the committee that during the SC a. son they had operated at twenty five different points and had failed at but one. Their last operation was at Miltonvale, in the western part of the state, and was very sue cessful, bringing very heavy rain in few hours. At this hour black clouds are forming and the heavens are illuminated with lightning. k

It Rafned.

Messrs. Sampson and Bent last week tried successfully rain-mak- ing experiment at thelr mines south west of Tucson. They observed a cloud which had been floating about the peak of the mountain float away and it was suggested that few ex- plosions of giant powder might bring the cloud back and produce rain. The experiment was made. Several shots of three and four pounds of giant were made. The cloud did not return, but new ones almost immediately formed in the clear sky, and inside of two hours a downpour of rain was the result, which lasted four hours. Ibis was the first rain in that immediate vici- nity during the last four years

The Hose Team.

Actual training is now indulged in every evening by members of the hose team who have been selected to represent the department at AL buquerque in the contest next month. At present but nine men have been selected, and the manage ment is very anxious for any fleet footed individual, who desires, to come forward and enroll his name. s. P. Marker, ST., is the trainer, and having been at one time, years ago, a professional sprinter, his handling of the team already demonstrates a familiarity from which the boys can expect much on the racing day. New rules governing the team have been signed by each member, which is clincher on their moral and physical conduct generally un- til after the race; after which they will be at liberty to stampede. John Coyle is expected here from the Hillside, to pull hose. Bidwell, also, will run, while Marker and Pace, a good pair, will steer the wagon. Other positions are yet to be assigned. Messrs. Bashford and Scholey furnish all the enthu- siasm, and state that the team this year will be good one.

City Affairs.

The town council has addressed letter to every one who hasa water plug in his yard in Prescott, that unless by the 18th of the month he does not have a meter on the same to measure the new waterworks water, his plant will be shut up tighter than the Mckinley bill re- stricts foreign champagne from coming in free of duty. The coun- cil states that it will furnish the meters, at the modest sum of SIP each. The action of our city fath- CTS is to be commended, although they are little tardy. Water has been used indiscriminately and carelessiy by that class who only paid anominal sum without having any restriction whatever placed on them in measurement, while those who were compelled to purchase meters, used the water, of course, spareingly. The council is getting down to business in the right sort of way.

A genuine type of the profession al bilking order, with a large stock of the necessary gall to further his business ends, is working this com munity to a wholesome extent. His pursuit is that of selling pictures and like work for good price. representing himself as an agent of J. l.. Fisher and M. Goldwater & Bro. of Prescott. The class of goods he palms of on the unsus- pecting are shoddy in the extreme, and neither of the above houses would have them in stock, much less sell them. He has already sold many dollars worth in Prescott, and those who have been duped already know it. At present he is in the country, and an eye should be kept on his movements.

The other evening one of our city "dads" passed down Montezuma street. And beholdl A man was watering his front yard with what the city dad thought was the city water. As the gentleman in ques- tion and the city dads do not hitch very we'll on the water question, (his water having been turned off), the city dad was heard to chuckle to himself, "Ha-hahl We've got him this time. We'll fix him for turning on that water" After little closer observation it was found that the gentleman had constructed a minia- ture waterworks of his own, by util- zing three of Bob Councils whisky barrells. The water is strongly i'm pregnated with whisky, and during the stillest part of the day or night the trees and shrubbery can be seen waving to and fro from the in toxication derived from that water. He is thinking very seriously of bot ting a lot of it and selling it as Aztec Mineral Water. w. G. F.

Killing at Ash Fork.

Ash Fork is sustaining it's repu- tation as hard locality and yester- day added another homicide to it's criminal history. This time a Mex ican senorita cut the the throat of a Mexican umbre, death resulting in a few hours. No particulars are obtainable except that jealousy and liquor were the causes. Since work has been in active progress on the railroad this noted old time center has harbored the usual gang of toughs and bad men that invaria- bly follow railroad building, and from the regularity of it's criminal misdeeds now daily coming from that point, Bodie:in its palmiest days will soon have a close rival if it is not checked.
