Two Men Perish of Thirst.

A report comes from White Hills that two men perlshed on the desert between that place and Bonelli's Ferry last week. The names of the men are supposed GO be James Shea and James Rogers. A man named Mcguire was with them when last seen. The report has it that the mall rider found Rogers about ten miles from the river, lying beside the dead body of Shea. He took Rogers to the rlver but he was past recovery and died soon afterward. Mcguire made his way to the river and IS all right. The men had been drinking heavily before leaving the Hills and were unacquainted with desert country. The desert be- tween White Hills and Bonelll's Ferry
 is one of the worst in Arizona and more men have perished on it than any of the others. Scarcely year passes that a victim is not claimed by this long stretch of sandy country

ChemehueUis Notes.

While the Klondike excitement rages at fever heat this camp seems to lose it's prestige, but with all that, and the exo- dus com 5ined, there are a number of miners yet making living here. Now that the surface diggings are about worked out, there yet remains to be ex plotted and developed large area ot gravel. It will be no more poor mans camp, for shafts must be sunk to the original bed rock, where without doubt deposits of gold will be found. Theories have been advanced by many as to this deposit, yet only practical demonstra- tion by the above process will reveal whether gold was ever deposited below the cement or not. A small amount of capital invested here may mean millions to the prospectcr and a great deal to old Mohave.
 Erbe, LaBarge and Terrace have gone to Vanderbilt.
 Alvey, O'Connor and Doherty have gone south.
 DeBoe and partner from Mineral Park, passed through camp on their way south.
 Younken's ranch on the Colorado is about to be discontinued, he having dis posed of his cattle, engine and boiler.
 Henry Winterhalter at the Bridge is about ready to start his mill up the river. The mill is on the ground and the boiler and engine is en route. He has a fine prospect for good gold mine.
 F. T. Porter at the Bridge is doing a good business these days. He has good corrals for the boys to put their stock in, and is an accommodating gentleman. Outfits passing up and down the river will find here good quarters. Latin & DeFrance are still in the mountains and report has it that they have found a pay streak. From the number of shots going off up there the boys must be breaking some rock. s.

Poker and JaekkniUes.

Last Wednesday afternoon while John Spikes, Henry Haley and the railroad hostler, man by the name of Allen were engaged in the festive game of draw, at the saloon of MT. Spikes, in Peach Springs, dispute arose between Haley and Allen, over the ownership of "pot." Haley had shown down three ten spots and Allen had thrown his hand into the deck, saying he had three aces and raked in the aforesaid pot. Haley demurred to the action of Allen, and (so says Haley) the latter made a movement toward his posterior pocket (where some people usually carry their arsenaD when the former picked up a iackknife, that was lying on the table, and inserted the large blade thereof into Mir. Aliens anatomy below the nipple of the left breast. Allen struggled to free himself, and, reaching the door, ran to the railroad yard, where he fell. Blood flowed freely from the wound and it was thought that the knife had reached a vital part. He was kindly cared for and Dr. Ealy and a physician at Ash Fork sent for. The sheriff's office was notified and Undersheriff Smith and Dr. Ealy went up on the first train. The wounded man was examined by the physicians who gave their opinion that the wounc was not dangerous. Haley was arrested by Sheriff Smith and lodged Tn the coun ty jail. From Peach Springs come re ports contradictory of MT. Haley's state ment, but as the case will come up fo hearing in court in few days we vii await the result of the preliminary ex animation.
 Mr. Haley was released from custod. yesterday upon the filing of bond il the sum of 30O$ for his appearance fo examination on September 9th.

Here is sort oi a perpetual motion affair. A firm of moneyed men in New York have bought piece of land and will stock it with 1000 black cats and 5000 rats. It is estimated that the cats will increase to 15.OOO in a year or two, and black cat skins are worth IS. The rats will multiply five times as fast as the cats, and the rats will be caught, skinned, and the hides sold to kid glove manufacturers, while thelr carcasses will feed the cats On the other hand, the carcasses of the skinned cats will be fed to the rats. This is one of the best self supporting schemes we ever heard of, and there is gold mine in it. The cats will be allowed to increase until to lOO,
 900 limit is reached, when the income will be enormous, as no feed Will be necessary after the first year.-Exchange

Dispatches state that the great Daly and Ontario mines at Park City, Utah, are about to close down, affecting more than 1 ,000 men, This shut down will also effect the farmers of two counties who have always found ready market for their produce at the mines. The di rect cause of this great shut down is the demonstration of silver. Supt. Cham bers was asked how soon operations would be resumed, he answered: "Nev- CT, if the present price of silver main- tains; because it is an absolute impossi- bility for us to operate and make even expenses with silver at any mark below 60 cents an ounce." Now who will say that the gold standard is not a good thinO
