Thereis very little ne WIS stirring in domestic circles this week.
 THE MYSTERY.

It is an open secret to many that one of the most gigantic mining en- terprises ever undertaken in Arizona, and Yuma County especially, is grad uaIly unfolding itself, silently and quietly without the usual brass band accompaniment. Men have slowly been developing a great ground enter prise, which if later developments and a very short time will demonstrate the fact, prove true, will bring Yuma County to the front as the heaviest gold producer in the world.
 Where now the shrill bark of the lonely coyote is only heard, soon the merry ring of the blacksmith and carpenters hammers will make music together with the busy hum of large population.
 Oh, experts, hie thee out from the shade of the s. P. Hotel porch, get a wiggle on you, and know there IS more going on up in these back woods than your widest dreams ever imagined.
 Messrs. Norton, Horner, and Graham are out working on the Radi- ant.
