Territorial News.
Tucson Citizen: Mr.. John Francis,
the new superintendent OF the tucson
smelter, like his predecessor, Mr.. Ham
ilton, is a man of large experience IN
the handling and working OF copper
ores. In Chill before coming to Arl-
IONA, he was engaged in managing one
of the largest smelling plants in that
country. Those who have had the
pleasure of meeting him are favorably
impressed with him and the energetic
manner in which he handles the bust
ness of the company.
Tombstone Prospector: From a we'll
authenticated source, word was re-
ceived this afternoon that at the Pierce
mine some extra rich ore has been
struck running high into the thousands
some of which assays $4,000 per ton.
1t was ,welknown that as work
progressed in one of the drifts the ore
had been getting richer as work prog
ressed, and this latest strike, which
appears mostly in course boulders, runs
in pockets in the ledge. A shipment
was made yesterday containing some OF
this rich ore which with the shipping
grade will send the returns to very
respectable average.
Mohave Miner: The early effects of
the new mining law in Arizona is the
increased amount of assessment work
that will be done in Mohave county
this year. 1t is cheaper to do the as
sessment work than make a relocation.
Mohave Miner: Through the efforts
of our energetic tOwnsman, ]. R. Hal
sey, the Kingman school bond issue has
been sold to the Arizona Central bank,
of Flagstaff, Arizona The bank stood
ready for some time past to take the
bonds, but as other parties had an OPP
ton on the whole issue nothing could
be done. The Flagstaff bank has al
ways been willing to help along home
institutions and in this matter our peo-
pie will fully appreciate their aid in be-
half of a public enterprise.
Williams News: Last Monday was
an unusually lively day in Williams,
fully 100 men having been paid off by
the railroad company, thus putting in
circulation large amount of cash, and
as above stated lively times prevailed.
The men discharged and paid off were
mostly Mexicans who have been en-
ployed for several months past in the
cindar pit and working upon the road
bed on the mountain.
be lighted by electric lights at no dis
tant day is now an assured fact. Suf-
fcient progress has been made by those
having the matter in hand to justify
this assertion and it is only those little
obstacles that present themselves in all
matters of this kind that are now re-
tarding the rapid completion of all pre-
liminaries and the formation of the
company. Already $500 has been sub
scribed iby our citizens and there are
number of others who have promised
to do their part, and it is safe to say
that ere another week passes by, the
total amount will have ben secured, and
the necessary machinery ordered.
Prescott Journal-Miner: A dis
patch from Kansas City says that spot
tiers in the employ of the Santa Fe rail
way company are keeping close watch
on the trafnmen to see whether they
are in the habit of indulging in intoxi-
eating liquors. So many men have
lost their positions of late because they
were reported to be in the habit of fire.
quenting saloons that railroad men are
unwilling to risk the consequences of
visiting such places. 1t is evident that
the company wants none but sober men
in it's employ and the close espionage
of the hauhts of trainmen is making
the latter very careful.

Dunlap, of Aravaipa, was in Solomon
vile on Wednesday, He came here

ing after the beef contract of the Ari-
iona Copper company, on which he is a

rented the pastures on the ranch of
Pete Anderson, near Stafford, and will
fatten beef cattle during the winter

lures in short time.
