Sonora Placer Mines.

Itisreported that rich gold placers
 have been discovered near Ures
 Sonora. We are not informed as
 to the accuracy of this report, but if it spreads into the adjoining ter
 ritory of the United States there
 will probably be a rush of Ameri-
 can miners to Sonora. The cry of
 gold always attracts attention, and
 when the word placers IS mentioned
 the miners find it impossible to re- sist the temptation to go and see for himself. The reported piacers probably exist, but whether they contain gold in paying quantities is a different thing. Should American miners rush to Ures they may find rich placers and they may not, but but in any event the report will probably result in rich mineral dis coveries. Although American min- CTS have occasionally wandered in- to Sonora the mountains of that state have never been thoroughly prospected. There are many rich mines in Sonora which have long been known, but 1t is believed that there are as many more which have not been discovered. If this report of rich placers should be found cor rect all the better, but should it prove untrue the disappointed miners may find consolation in the discovery of other rich mineral de- posits. It would be remembered that the wonderful stories circulated concerning the wealth of the Sierra Mojada proved in the main untrue, yet the miners who were taken there by these stories even tually located some very valu- able mines, which having given prosperity to that region. We will therefore hope that should the Ures gold boom prove to have little orno foundation, it will not be wholly lacking in good resnlts.-Two Re- publies.

All the troops in the field against Kid have been called in. It is stated that Lieut.. Bean, who captured Kids horses few days ago, will be kept at home for awhile. Jealousy is the cause of it.

John Ryan, who slept in the Hook
 & Ladder truck house, was so much
 disturbed by ghostly noises and
 demonstrations which kept him awake all night that he sought oth- CT quarters. A few days ago a young man came to town who had heard nothing of these ghostly wis., itations, and, as beds were scarce, he was offered lodging in the truck house, and accepted with thanks. After he had blown the light out and was dropping into a sound sleep, he was rudely aroused by loud raps at the side door. which he i'm mediately went to and opened, but he found no one there thinking some thoughtless boys were trying to annoy him, he turned the light down low and again went to sleep, remembering nothing until he sud- denly realized that he was lying in bed with his eyes wide open, his whole being thrilled with a name less dread, which held him spell bound for few seconds. But, be- ing nervy and active young man, with great effort he mastered the spell that bound him, and looked around the room and saw a man standing in front of the looking glass with an uplifted stick. The young man sprang from his couch, seized an axe, rushed across the room and drove the weapon through the threatening intruder, the de- scending blow striking the wash stand and cutting large chip from it; but what was the surprise of the young man to find himself standing alone in the room, the spertial figure of the man having disappeared. It was in this room, or near by, that man was mistakenly shot and killed for a burglar one dark night some years ago. In the yard, just in the rear, several of the worst murderers who ever infested this section, were hung. The opinion of the people, who believe in ghosts is divided as to just which one of these men is represented by the dis turbed spirit, which is said to haunt the truck house. An old man by the name of Col. Caney committed suicide in this vicinity some years ago. He laid down his blankets and shot himself with a carbine, pulling the trigger which sent the fatal ball with one of his toes.-| Prescott Courier.

THE New Mexican hits the nail squarely on the head in the follow ing: There is a crying need that something be done to prevent the raids of renegade Indians through the southern part of Arizona.
