Wild Rurros a Nuisance.

Prospectors are bothered by herds of wild burros, just as cattlemen in northern Arizona are disturbed by the bands of wild horses that roam the hills there. The burros are a nuis- ance and there is talk of organizing 8 hunting party to do away with the beasts. The wild animals come out of the hills to water, and often the pack burros of prospectors are lead away by them. There are sometimes over one hundred wild burros in 8 bunch, and q horseman or a prospect or afoot will scatter them as soon as he is noticed. They are as wild as the uncut portion of the mountains they inhabit. In the Pack Saddle range there are great many wild burros, and they inhabit the differer- ent ranges which form the foothills of the Bradshaw mountains. Al around the Castle Creek range they are to be found, as wild as deer and almost as fleet footcd.-The Prospect.
 Captain Polhamus informs us that there are any amount of wild burros on either side of the river between here and Needles and that the burros of prospectors are continually being lad away by the wild animals. Some time ago 8 couple of gentlemen of Yuma built corral up the river with the intention of capturing some of otherwise docile beasts, but they found that their swiftest horses could not keep iu the dust of the feet-footed burros. Captain Polhamus made in- quiriss in San Francisco as to tle value of their hides, but was informed that there was no market for them.

The Masquerade.

Truly the event of the season was the grand masquerade ball at the Southern Pacific hotel last Monday evening. The fire laddies had made extensive preparations for the occa- sion and no stone was left unturned to make the affair Q eocial and Gnan- cial success.
 Some elaborate costumes had been ordered from Los Angeles and at an early hour the merry maskers began to arrive and soon the spacious hall was crowded and mirth and rsvelry held full sway.
 Landlord Jaeger had prepared a sumptuous repast, the tables being arranged out on the porch where fam tastic Japanese lanterns lent effect to the scene and lighted up veritable feast of Belshazzar. After the un- mask and identities were established the assembled throng marched two and two to where the feast was spres d and after the wants of the inner man wa satiated the dance went on and toy remained unconined till the wee sma' hours.
 R. H. Chandler and James Graham were the judges in the award of prizes. Alter duly considering the merits of the various characters and. costumes Mrs. Iaeger and Ben Heyl were awarded the prizes for the two best sustained characters; Mrs. Jaeger as an old maid and MT. Heyl as Uncle Sam. The prizes were bracelet and @ medal.
 MT. and Mrs. F. L. Ewing were the inspectors respectfully for the gentle men and ladies.
 As was remarked the fireman never do things by halves, and their func- tions are always marked by the high order of their excellency.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by lo@al applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inf1amed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube When this tube gets in1amed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness is the re- suit, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case ot Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir cula-s, free.

However, we now expect water from the old well to be supplying camp and every thing running in good order by the first of the year. The mill has been idle for over three weeks and about thirty men thrown out of employ ment.
 Water for the use of the camp is being hauled from the 15 mile we'll or packed in on burros from tanks near here, and sells at about ton cents per gallon.
 A slight rain fell Sunday afternoon and evening and high winds prevail.
