Mir. A. W. Stormontand MT. w, T. Todd, directors oi Stormont, Todd x G. G., Ltd eff I-eaden, and and sslse ef the Campana Consolidated Gold Mines. Ltd, arrived here several days ago and proceeded immediately with Ge- neral Manning and Hon. Brewster Ca meron to the Campana mines. They returned here yesterday and are enthusiastic in their praise of the
 property. They have had considera- ble experience in mining matters in South Africa and Australasia. Com pairing Sonora with South Africa, they say that the Campana reef resembles the Randt in many respects and that the extent is quite equal to that of the Randt in it's early days. Sonora has many advantages over the Randt, principally in it's abundance of fuel, it's facilities of access, it's magnificent climate and the cheapness of labor. The width and quality of the reef resembles the Randt mines almost exactly. Most of the best paying South African mines have paid we'll on low grade ore in large quantities. Com pairing Sonora with West Australia, they consider that the former is to the front on all points. They are con lident that Campana Consolidated has a great and prosperous future and have cab'ed the English shareholders to that effect, and speak of the man agcmento of General Manning in high est terms Tucson Citizen.

The Baker City Democrat prints the
following dispatch from Huntington,
dated November 18th:
D. McCrawley, who shipped some
sheep east from here short time ago,
was robbed of $135 here early yesterday
morning by gang of hoboes. McCraw-
ley had been drinking heavily all night
with the hoboes and had displayed con-
siderable money with the result that
when he reached stage of intoxication
bordering upon helplessness, he was
robbed. It is understood the party was
from The Dalles and was returning
there.
William Thorn, said to be well con-
nected in Eastern Oregon, was arrested
in Weiser last night for the robbery, and
SOL of the stolen money recovered. He
had bought ticket for Pocatello, but
owing to the vigilance of the officers he
had no chance to use it. He will be
bound over to the grand jury. and stands
a good chance of getting long term in
the penitentiary.

of the family, was in an adjoining room,
Hearing the shot, he went to ascertain
the cause, and, seeing what had hap
pened, started for neighbours house to
inform the children's parents. During
the old gentlemen's absence the little
fellow, realizing what he had done, ran
away from home without hat, coat or
shoes. Arriving at Merlin after. dark
he tOId the section men, with whom he
stayed over night, that his father had
whipped him and that he ran away.
After a nights rest, the section men
supposed he would go home, but instead
he took to the hills, and although a
strict search had been made, at last ac-
counts he had not been found.
