TRAIN TIAIE.-Train time is a daily
cause Of worry to about one-half the
community which travels more or
less. Recently it has been rumored
that change in the leaving time of
the S. F.. P. & P. train from Phoe-
nix, would occur as soon as the limit
ed trains We're put on. In this con-
nectiOn it is unofficially reported that
the eastbOund limited will pass Ash
Fork about 1925 a. m. If this be true,
it viii occasion little, if any, change in
the present leaving time, as close con
nectiOn can be made at that hour.

JOSHED.-The Ell Paso Times
! throws a hot shot into the base bail
team that visited Phoenix last week
and that seemed to beg the question
when they We're fairly beaten by
the Phoenix team. It says: 4
think, said local base ball fan
last night, that our boys had better
come home. Some cowboy might steal
them if they Hnger around Tucson and
Phoenix trying to give limitations of
ball playing. They say that the UNI
pire is rObbing them. Well it's easy
enough for an umpire TO give the other
side two or three runs, but he couldn't
give them twenty-five or thirty scores
in an inning. Our boys played two
good games at Tucson, but it seems
that two victories is as much excite
ment as their nerves will stand.'-El
Paso Times.
CHLORIDE BOOMING Mr.. W. H
Buckingham, representing Fairbanks,
Morse & Co, came in on Sunday night
from a trip among the mining camps
of Mohave county. Chloride. he says,
is f1ourishing hugely. A great deal of
development work is being done by the
smaller mine owners in preparing their
properties for the market. Nothing
is being done vet on the Temple Bar /
owned by a wealthy French syndicate
and already equipped with very eX-
pensiVe and the most modern machin-
cry. While Mr.. buckingham was at
Chloride three mysterious Frenchmen
arrived. One of them, distinguished by
his long hair and utter unfamiliarity
with the English language, was an eE- (
pert from Expertville. They had f!
come to give the property another go .
ing over.
GLAD THEY STOPPED.=Mr. D. /
N Riordan will be largely responsible +
for any good that max come to Phoe- +.
nix from the visit of the mining en- /
elneers last Sunday. 1t was ne. in the .
first place, who brought the party to .
Phoenix at all. and if it had not been
for him the train would have stayed .
here only about long enough to take on j
water The manager of the itinerary
after arriving wanted to stay only q
couple of hours and was supported by .
a considerable number of the party. !
who could not imagine that there
would be anything here to amuse, in /
strUct or entertain. Nj Riordan lay
what he was going through the coun-
try for, to see things or to pass the
time He pointed out to him that
SO far he had been making night
journeys in Arizona and had really
seen nothing of the territory After
awhile he succeeded in compelling a
stop and the members Of the party saw
50 many things to interest them. thew

MR.. SHIRLEY WITHDRAWS. =
Some months ago when the catfish con-
troversy first came up Frank Shirley
himself against the fish and
offered 81 each for all the catfish
caught in the Salt river Under this
bounty the industry f1ourished and one
by one the fish made their appearance
till Mr.. Shirley grew suspicious that
he was protecting importations from
Missouri rather than developing a nat
ural resource of the country. AS head
Of the catfish trust he then began to
turn the screws on the producers as
other monopOIists have done before
him. He refused to pay for the fish
unless they We're accompanied By the
iffidavits Of the fishermen and at least
one reliable witness. y colored minis
er was drawn into the vortex of this
scandal. his integrity being questioned,
out eventually prepOnderance of evil
1ence cleared him of all blame. The
.atffsh kept coming, however. and Mr.
