Tucson Citizen:

Mr.. Colin Cameron, the energetic
cattle king, grant owner and politician,
is making the mining corporations and
prospectors q little nervous regarding
the title OF claims within the supposed
limits OF the San Rafael de la Zanja
land grant.
The Tucson Smelling and Mining Co.,
received q car load OF ore yesterday,
from the Cave Creek property, situated
about 20 miles from Phoenix. They ex-
poet TO receive ore now right along from
the above mines. at the rate Of two cars
week.
The Territorial board of education

for the purpose of considering the prop
osition of changing the text books, now

County Superintendent J. S. Wood is

meeting to the trustees of all school
districts throughout the county.
By authority OF an act passed by the
recent legislature at Phoenix Treasurer
Hof yesterday morning, in the presence
OF Chairman c F Schumacher of the
board of supervisors, burned $4,000
worth OF bonds of the Tucson, Globe
and Northern railroad. The bonds
we're issued to the Tucson Smelling
and Mining company, but were never
delivered.
An interesting question is involved in
the case Of Undertaken Lonergsn, who
was arrested yesterday for violating the
city ordinances regulating the Gene
teriee, and the burying of the dead.
The city ordinances are very strict re-
garding the securing of permits of
burial, and having the sexton dig the
graves. This is wisely provided to
keep the records of deaths. and the
graves IN which the deed are buried.
Is ia precautionary measure in all
cities for the prevention OF crime and to
enable the locating of the dead, for re-
movsl of bodies, etc. Undertaken Lon
ergsn insisted on pursuing the dictates |
of bis own ideas in the matter, though |
notified of she ordinances; hence the |
arrest.
Another big strike has been made on |

they have a face eight feet wide and
eight feet deep of solid copper ore
which averages 20 per cent, and yet they
are not through it. The claim is owned
by Ed Anderson, a. J. Stock and r. R
Richardson. The same parties have
three adjoining claims which also make
q very favorable showing.
Toe mystery OF Madero Canyon in
the Santa Rlta's better known as
White House canyon, which has puz-
lied numerous people, is no doubt
destined, never to be unraveled. The
wagon, (Which has since been broken
ur, and part of it carried away cooking
u teneils, ETC., are still on the ground,
and the reason why the two prospec-
sors who left them there should aban
don them, unless they met with foul
play, is still a mystery. VIM. Brown

siRste the affair the other dsv but

Was nothing in it; and numerous srti-
sies which had been left by them, bu'
that was all. The bo;e which is be
Tween twenty and thirty feet deep, ie
nothing more THAI a hole, and it is
evident. th parties who dug il did not
snow much of mining, IS there is moth
ug to indicate that it ever was mine.
