 Chas. L. Lantry came down yes terdsy, with the view of securing a location to move Brady's camp to, on this end. The work he IS now engaged in is about completed, and he will move to this end of the line in few days. Hughes and Train or expect to complete their work by the first of February or within a few days thereafter, when the grade will ali be completed to Verde sta tiou, except about mile and half in Chino valley. Mir. Welsh is at work on this, and will have it completed before the tracklayers reach there. The only drawback now to an early completion of the grade to Prescott is the right of way business through the town. As soon as this can be settled. a force of graders will be put at work grading in the city limits. The latest phase of the workings of the boycott is now undergoing a trial in Prescott in the gambling line, in which the celestial race again | figures conspicuously. For some months a certain faro game has never turned the ~box" over for the night without being-a loser and the persistency with which players have swarmed around this fascinating game would naturally lead an unso- phisticated outsider to believe that the boys were virtually cOining money. Instead of sure thing proposition the game has been as persistenly and systematically eaten up as the late city council We're pro- life in their ideas of having struck e double-out deal on the water question, when it dawned on the votaries of the z reen cloth that the willy Chinaman was the gaiueT and they the losers. The owners of the game after deliberation then issued 8 boycotting manifesto against the six companies, since which their stock of ivory goods have peacefully slumbered on the rack, while the Mongolian race takes his revenge out on the crap game. As race the Chinese are inyeterate gamblers and the willingness with which they assist each other on the white mans money after winaing, shows them to be of true fellowship and to differ in spirit from their Caucasian breth- ern in that they do not have to ask for V until the morning"
