 IN SAN DOMINGO. MT. H. w Stevens is in the city from the San Domingo mining district where he owns | valuable gold mine. ''I expect to | have some news that will startie the | world some day" said MT. Stevens, | ''but at the present time 1 am but de veloping my mines. This district is one of the richest gold mining districts in the territory. Placer mining has been carried on extensively and sue Cessfully for tine past twenty years, and quartz mining has not received much attention. There is plenty of water where 1 am working, and if 1 find the ere there will be another gold producer added to the list of Arizona mines of importance"
 WANT CHANGES MADE. County Superintendent Fulton was busy all day yesterday in hearing a number of of ranchers who desire to be transferred to more convenient school districts.

 that they be placed in district 10, as he present arrangement is unsatisfac- tory and precludes the attendance of a great many of the pupils owing to the distance which they live from the school house. H. Mitchell of the Buck ! eye country desires to be transferred rom district 49 to district 33, to de- !. crease the distance which his children will have to go t. school.
