 What at one time promised to be a very expensive trip to party of tourists to the Grand Canyos, now gives promise of proving remnuer- ative. The party lost four mules on their trip, valued at from Sl75 to $300 each. They advertised a reward of $20 each for their return. The animals belonged to the government and bore the government brand. Five mules with government brands have been returned to the govern ment corral at Whipple and they are still looking for others to arrive.
