TEMPE ECHOES.

Yesterday was pay day at Goldfeld.
More men were on the roll this month
than at any previous period.
Tom Goodwin and the street car
mule had a misunderstanding yester-
day which resulted in the car leaving
the track some few rods.
The military boys were many of them
ont to target practice yesterday. Al
most every day some of them qualify
and ere long they will be company of
sharpshooters.
Four carloads OF lumber are at the
depot consigned to the Consolidated
Canal Co. This is the first OF 175, 900
feet ordered recently for immediate use
by this enterprlsing outfit.
G. L. Hall brought $1,000 bar of
gold down from the Mammoth and q
few days ago and deposited it in one OF
the Tempe banks for safe-keeping
preparatory for shipment to the mint.
The streets were crowded much of
the day yesterday with wagons laden
with baled hay. An order for ten car
loads for the military posts in the
southern part of the territory is being
filled.
John Caravan has returned from
Goldfeld after taking thorough look
through the camp. He thinks the gold
product from this section will be
quite heavy and considers this the best
gold section of Arizona, which means
also the best in the United States.
P. A. Price, the genial drygoods
clerk for Wildman-Peters-G Goldman
company, has made wager that he
will be married before January l, 1894.
There is now a serious question in the
minds of many of his friends whether
he will lose if he wins or win if he
loses.
John T. Dennis, a Phoenix capitalist,
was in Tempe yesterday collecting
rental and looking after his varied in
terests on this side of the valley. Dur
ing his absence to the worlds fair Geo.
Kinney looked closely after Mr.. Den
mis- welfare and property Investments.
Bob Lee and Tom Wills, two char
acters of wide reputation as typical cow
boys came in from San Francisco at
which place they have been since
Charlie Meadows Wild West disban-
ded. Wills has almost fully recovered
from the injuries sustained some
months ago and the length of his hair
would indicate that he has no idea of
forsaking Wild West life.
Charlie Fisk, the genial bookkeeper
for the Arizona Hardware company at
Tempe, holds the dual positions as
chaplain for, Company G and also for
Company q, an erratic organization,
that holds high carnival occasionally
on Saturday evenings in SonoratOwn.
Charlie takes great pride in maintain
ing the two situations and seldom gets
things mixed, but recently he greatly
surprised Lieut.. Mullen and his braves
by announcing his text for morning
services as Cooper the deuce and
pinch your last bet." He was excused
with reprimand.
Col. G. T. Hayden, the pioneer mer
in attendance at the water convention
in Los Angeles. The experience of a
lifetime in the arid region together with
the fact that he has ALWAYS been close
observer as we'll as a heavy land and
property owner peculiarly fits him for
q mission of this nature and his counsel
will be of great value before the body
of representative men of the west.
While Col. Hayden's business methods
have at times been severely criticised
ON account of his lavish benevolence
coupled with eccentricities the fact can
not be disguised that he has contribut-
ed more toward the development of the
South Side, especially during early
days than any other individual and
many poor Mexican even during the
late distressing period has thanked Don
Carlos for the bread that kept his
family from becoming public charge.
