AMONG THE HILLS.
Where Harshaw Lies Peacefully
 Nesting.
A Veritable Poor Mans Mine is One of the Principal Points
 Of Interest.

mill of Hermosa, property are working, 15 men being employed on the former
 and seven or eight at the latter. A feeling of uneasiness exists in the camp
 however as to how long even the present slight activity will continue. This is
 caused partly by the astounding acton
 of Sheriff Joe Scott who reached here
 Saint Patricks day and allowing the
 boys to think he was out for little fun attended the celebration in the hotel danced all night and the next morning attached S2400 of silver in the form of two bars of bullion and got away before
 the sun was very high in the heavens
 It appeared that his authority was a
 writ of attachment in the suit lately entered by A. Hoover against Senator A. A. McGovney of Colorado Springs for S2,704. Wild rumors were soon afioat that the company's account at the Consolidated bank at Tucson had been greatly overdrswn: and other such with out foundation. It is understood here that the present management has a heavy payment to make upon their bonde1 lease April 15 ard 1t is thought by some that unpleasant developments may be manifested April next payday
 Mir. Hook the uperlntendent howevec says that the suit is a matter between Hoover and McGovney and that it Vill have no bearing whatever upon operations at Harshaw, that he received yesterday a telegram from Mir. Nc Govney that he had written to Tucson arranging for a settlement of the mat ter there, and that as far as pay day was concerned he himself would look out for the local part and attend to that.
 The feature of the town is Frank Powers mine the Worlds Fair. Two years ago Powers was a poor man a practical hard working miner. He bought what is now the Worlds Fair for $50 and today he is said to have easily between S35, 900 and S40,000 in cash deposited to his credit. The property from the be- ginning paid its own way being in that respect an ideal poor mans mine. He has tunnelled in about 150 feet sunk two shafts of about 100 feet each and several drifts. He has taken out in this way wi houtever having stepped poucd of ore enough to ship to the Socorro smelter from one to two carloads per month for almost two years past, for each carload receiving anywhere from S50O0 to S12,000. The ore vein varies from 15 inches to three feet in width and while it has essayed 1,SO0 per ton aver ages about S7O0. Mir. Powers Is at pre- sent working but SIX or eight men and has the property in such condition that in the event of better market for silver he can at any time put te work with immence profit 75 to 100 men stepping
 Harshaw, while rendered dull camp by the low price of silver, it's mainstay is singularly favored in the person mel of its dispensers of malt and spirituOus liquors. Of these there are two. The senior Judge Jones, California forty miner, and a veteran of the Mexican war, throughout the whole of which he served with distinction, derives his title not only for his nIce discrimination in the taste of good, bad and indifferent whiskeys, but as he will himself tell you "got 1t far and squar in 50 in Califor- mia" when upon memorable occa sion he was selected by number of law thirsty mIners to pass judgment upon a horse thief.
 The judge has been in Harsha I2 years now, and while there his only con- nection with the law has consisted in acquiring ownership of the Jail which he agrees to rent for incarceratory purpose for $50 year. He has nevertheless not failed to hand down many valuable de- cisions upon the relative merits of white rye and Kentucky borbon.
 The other legal limb of Harshaw is Al Perry who by his recent appoint ment by the supervisors as justice of the peace has added new glory to his pre- vious distinction as Dick Farrell's store keeper and bartender. Al IS a splendid fellow of generous nature, liberal, kind hearted proclivities and plays a first class game of billiards.
 With him 1t is not alone the lnky cloak nor cu5toma' suit of solemn black that betoken legal lore. Blue overalls and flannel shirt are good enough for his His trials, of which so far he has had but one, when he fined the butcher 5 for getting drunk and shoot ing up the town are held in the saloon. One excellent feature of this is that while Le is disposing of old cases, inter- rupted occasionally by thumps for more drinks, for Farrell's is a busy place, he can see new business gradually develop | ing under his very nose.
 The sad fate of poor Bill Harrington, ] one of the most popular men of the i camp, who Mar. 19 was accidentally | blown to atoms is frequently spoken Of | yet His watch and jack knife are ex hibited at the store of Richard Farrell 1 who has applied for letters of admins | tration. The watch is badly shattered l the minute hand is missing and the hour hand stopped half way between II and 12 o'clock when the explosion took | place. The bone sides of the knife are all loosened from the rivsts, the blades dropping out as 1t is handled, thus showing how terrible must have been the force of the explosion.
 Robert Richardson, who for about month has been visiting his son k. k. Richardson at the Pennsylvania ranch of the Crittenden Land and Cattle con- pany, returned East yesterday.
