| Romero owned A cattle range on ths
Cienega, below Tucson. In frequent
incursions BY the Apaches his cattle
were driven off and his business was
wrecked. The matter has been pend
! ms in the court of claims for nine
years. Two years ago Romero died
and lately the attorneys having charge
of the claim wrote that the claim was
likely TO come to an issue soon and
that there should be some one with
power to push 1T. Hence the appl:ca-
ton for letters of administration. The
claim was for 81, 500. If it should be
allowed with interest at the legal rate
of per cent and compounded an
nually as is always allowed. it will
amount to about $4,000.

called to house on South Second

man who said he had just arrived
from Texas and was the husband of
the woman, called on the police He
wanted them to raid the premises and
capture man, who. he had been in
formed, was living with his wife. The
raid was arranged, to- take place bout
midnight or whenever the injured hHs-
band thought sufficient damaging evil
dence against the woman and her
p8ramour was accumulated. He went
away TO watch and returned about |
midn. ght to say. i. was all of; that /
while he was at Flagstaff ne met |
Peter Jackson, of illustrious mem |
DRY, and that she had telegraphed his !
wife to apprise her Of her beloved hus- |

TOO HOT TO MINE. Col C. H.
Gray says that operations have been |
on his mine near the Colo /
RADIO river in Riverside county, Cali |
fornia, owing to the excessive heat |
A great deal of machinery was put in |
in the early part of the summer and
tests made with the process of work
ing the ore have proven satisfactory. |
To begin with a three-stamp mill has
been put up and when work is contin-
ued next fall three more stamps will
be added. Col Gray says that soon af-
ter active work commences he VIII
have nine-stamp mill. The stamps
he is using are larger than the ordi-
nary size The ore being taken oJp- |
ranges in value from $50 to 500 per
ton and ten tons of this milled a day
will net a snug income, especially as
the ere is soft and free milling and
easy to manipulate. A small vein was
found in the workings recently which
was followed down. It grew to a good
size and shows signs of continuity.
The rock taken from this vein runs
about S100 and this lead alone. if it
turns out as well as the indications
show it, will make the mine valuable.
