A 0neeQUarter Interest Sold.

Superintendent Epes Randolph of the Southern Pacific railroad, with headquarters at THcson, has purchased a one-quarter interest in the Eichelberger and Gleason Bonanza in the s. H. mountains.
 What he paid for said interest nobody but the immediate parties concerned in the deal know.
 Rumor has it that Eichelberger had been in the services of Ran dolph as a paid prospector prior to be being grub staked by Gleason and thet his time had not expired when he made the wonderfully rich discovery and as a compromise against law suit a one-quarter interest was given to MT. Randolph
 When it IS taken into considera- tien that the owners had refused to give 8 working bond on the mine for $400,000 for a period of one year and also refused cash proposition of $1O,000 for the prospect hole" of only a few feet deep considerable color is given to the story. But, let that be as it may. the sole topic of conversation now is, how did Randolph secure an interest when so many tempt ing offers had been made the own CTS and all refused.
 R. J. Duncan, representing the interests of his friend, Randolph, left Wednesday in company with Mir. Gleason to purchase mill in Los Angeles.
 Already the mill site has been located at Geo. w. Norton's ranch in the Mohawk valley and the Southern Pacific Company will build new telegraph station at Mohawk Summit, the nearest point on their line to the Bonanza.

cRAzgo BY THE STARING EYES.
Gravedigger's Grewsone Experieno
 Shatters His Mind.

John McCloud, q years old, sexton of St. Mary's Catholic church, South Amboy, N. J., was recently driven insane by pe- culiar experience. While digging grave In the cemetery his spade broke through @ coffin which had been previously placed In the plot. McCloud was standing shoul- der deep in the hole that he dug, and when his spade struck the wooden obstruction he was mortified to sec an upturned face with glar1ng, open eyes, peering through the broken boards of the coffin lid, staring at him as if in anger at being disturbed.
 McCloud stood transfxed for g. moment. unable to move. He almost tainted from the nervous shock, and it was some mo- ments before he became calm enough to ascend from the grave. He at first started to leave the cemetery, but returned and covered up the grave again, which he did with great deal of difficulty, owing to the nervous state he was in. After he had finished his task, he returned to his home and told his family of his strange experi- ence.
 From being gay and light hearted man he went into decline and became melan- choly and morose. He was superstitious. and the vision of the dead face haunted him night and day until his mind gave way. His relatives noticed the change and tried in every way to brighten him up and remove from his mind the thought of his terrible experience. Their efforts were of no avail, and at last he became a raying maniac, so violent that at times it reuuir- ed the united efforts of three men to re- strain him. .s
 When he WAS in these Hts, he would cry out to those around him to remove the dead body from his sight.

Haunted!

The human tenenment is often haunted-to the gTlevous discomfort of its possessor-by those malignant spirits, constipation and biliOusness. But the abominahle pair may be speed fly driven out with the potent help of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This genial alternative, while it relieves the bowels and regulates the liver, never, ss a drastic purgative does, produces violent effects and weakens the in testines. On the contrary, the action of the Bitters is precisely analogous to an effort et nature seeking to resume her proper functions. This furnishes pretty conclusive evidence that 1t is better to us persuasive means, so to speak, than to endeavor to coerce nature to a return to duty. Violent remedies produce only a temporary effect, followed by hurtful reaction. For indigestion, malarial and kidney complaints, rheumatism and nervous ness, the Bitters takes highest rank among remedies of the philosophic school.

Laid to Rest.

There arrived here Monday evening g from Gold Cross the remains Of Eugene Mugen, aged 25 years for in- torment in the Catholic cemetery in this village.
 A large delegation of members of the Miners Union of that place accom- panied the remains besides a large number of friends and acquaintances Four sisters, two brothers and MT. Jones, a brother-in-law, were with the remains.
 The deceased was one of the most popular young men in the camp and what makes his youthful demise double sad is that he was engaged to be married to Miss Francisea Mar tinez the middle of next month.
 Pneumonia was the cause of death after a short illness of only seven days.

AN ARIZONA BOOM.
From San Francisco Call.

1 From SAn ETa3ctSco Call,
 The mining excitement in this State over the gold discoveries at Randsburg has been followed by one which promises to be equally great in the mining district around Yuma, Ariz. According to reports the new discoveries made in the district are among the most notable of recent years and great expecta- tiens are held of golden results.
 The stories which come to us from Yuma are, of course, colored by the excitement which prevails there and may be to large extent exag- gerated. When full allowance is made for the exaggerations, howe ever, there will still remain sufi- cient reason for believing that this portion of Arizonais to haYea great mining revival during the year and will add largely to the supply of gold.
 It is reported than the mining claim in the new district which has been moat developed has been found :o grow richer and wider as the development goes on. At the present time the ledge Is said to be twelve feet wide, and some au- thorities estimate that the rock will not fall far short of $200O ton Such reports as this have natually attracted miners from al! parts of the country and as a result the new district is being rapidly set tied up and explored.
 The interests of Arizona are SO nearly identical with those of Cali fornia that the new mining boom in that State will be almost as ad- vantageous to us as the rich dis covcries at Randsburg. We have, therefore, every reason for hoping that the Yuma district will prove as profitable as the most sanguine expect. There are a thousand op- portunities for money making in Arizona and many people who are attracted there by the gold mines will ind other resources awaiting development and other chances for the profitable investment of capital. Even if the mining boom, therefore, should prove to be nothing more than an advertisement for the Ter ritory it will be beneficial and Cali fornia may justly congratulate the people of Arizona on the prospect before them.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES ON THE
 PRISON CONTRACT.

The Washington Times has an ar
 ticle on the subject of the late su-
 preme court decision sustaining the
 validity of the Stale of Arizona Im-
 provement company ys. Nj. J. Nugent, superintendent of the Territorial pris- on. The Times says:
 'This is the celebrated case brought into court through the attempt of Gov. B. J. Franklin to repudiate Ter Eritorial contract made with the inn provement company, having for its object the reclamation of 100, ,OOO acres of land on the Colorado river at Yuma. This land. under water, is known to be the most fertile soil in the western states, and the improvement company contracted with the Territory to utilize the convict labor of the Territorial prison located at Yuma and dig an irrigation canal thirty-fve miles long, from Castle Dome to the Mexican line, crossing the Gila river at Yuma, and by means of an abundant water supply bringing vast tract of country, part of it owned by the Territory into immediate cultivation.
 "The improvsrI1ent company is made up of eastern capitalists, and WAS about to begin the actual work of constructing the canal on June lO last, when obstructed by the action of the newly appointed governor, who, for political and personal reasons, neither of which will bear inyestiga- ton, declared the contract vc:d and forbade the prison superintendent to furnish the convicts on the work. The case came up before Chief Justice Baker in an application for writ of mandamus, and was decided by him on November 9th last in an exhaustive opinion affirming the contract and granting the relief asked for. The action cf the supreme court is an af- firrnation of this decision, and settles the matter.
 "The amazing conduct of Governor Franklin in this matter, and several others in which he has sought to dis credit Territorial bonds, in one in stance seeking to repudiate an impOr- tant issue authorized by congress, has led to charges being preferred against him by several of the most prominent bushes. men of the Territory, the charges now being on file in the in- serior department. Private advices recently received here show President Cleveland to have been deterred by 1 lack of time alone from personally | taking such action as would have rs- suited in Franklin's removal from the governorship.
 ''The work on the Yuma canal will l be pushed forward at once. It can be | completed in fifteen months, and will l cost about $1 100000"

Correspondence.
PICAcHo., Cal, Mar. 3I, 1897.


 Col. J. H. SHANNEssY, YUMA. 4 T.
 My DEAR JOHN: Your letter of the 18th at hand. Please accept thanks for your good wishes. ! As to PicachO and her mines, you have heard nothing more than the truth The mines a; here, they contain the ore, and the ore carries the gold. Ii takes time, hard work, and money to open them up and develop them. If Picacho was anywhere else, only in this Southeast corner of the State of California, Cripple Creek and Victor would be nowhere. It takes & whole lot of grit, and a whole lot of hard work to get Picacho before the public, and now with what has been done and said, and the proofs which we have in hand, it is hard work. Senator Dorsey has long hard pull. He has one of the best properties that I ever saw, no matter what company gets it, they will get grand thing, and property worth millions, even-just as it is, and yet see how long, and how hard he has worked Even with his know ledge of men, and knowing just what to do, how and when to do it, and still the project drags. There are other properties here that promise as well as it, if not better. They are some grand things in Picacho, as you will see during the next five years. The amount of money that has been spent has developed more, better and richer bodies of ore than anything that l have ever seen or heard of. The pres eat mill, the one now running, the one nearly ready to run, and the two others that soon will be put up, will only show what we may expect from 100 mines which promise just as we'll if not better on the surface than these. I did not select the Golden Dream because I thought it was the best claim had, but simply because 1t was accessible, near the river, and from that it carried good $5 ore, and this was as good as my packers asked for, hence took it up. 1t has proved to be better than I expected, or even dared to hope, and each days work upon it proves all the good things that has ever been said about it. l hope tbat some day you will come up to Picacho, and see just what we have here, would just like today to take you into 15 places from which we are taking ore, and let you take your own samples and pound them up, and wash them out. ! would like to take you into 90 more from which we are talk ing no ore, and have you do the same, you would say then, that everything have ever said or written in regard to the mines was true. Come up and see us and we will convince you. With best wishes 1 am,
 Yours most sincerely,
 D. K. ALLEN.

 They Get There Just the Same

The ruddy faced stage driver, on tte Gleason camp stage line, who meets the trains at Tacna has huge nuggets of trouble. Next to a policeman the lot seems to fall upon Q newspaper man of listening with a sorrowful face to other peoples woes. Almost every one asks the driver to explain how the range of mountains came 10 be known as the s. H. group and what the let ters signify in literal sense. And then some fellow drops off the train and wants to go to the Saddle Horse mountains, another from. the same train gives orders to put him off at the Small Horse mountains, and au- other wants to go to the Sheep Head range. But the driver wears a know ing look and glad smile and takes them all to the same place.-Repub- licdn

Judge Holcomb and MT. McCarroll came down from the site of the pro- posed canal after spending two weeks upon the ground and carefully run ming levels over the entire distance, about 20 miles. They find that there will be DO difficulties connected with the building and operating of the canal. Judge Holcomb said last evening that there was no further doubt as to the completion of the en- terprise and that there is already settlers enough waiting the com mencement of work on the enter prise to locate every acre of land that can possibly be placed under water.
