 go to Glendale on Saturday night on
 hay rack to attend Campbel1's lee

 c. W. Grouse has been asked to pre-
 pare plans for an annex for the Alamo school house. That school house with
 it's grounds and abundant foliage is one of the most beautiful lyceums in the territory, and the extension, if built upon the idea MT. Grouse is now transmitting to paper, will only en- hanoe the effect. The Alamo school district is f1ourishing, and money is no object in the building of the exten- sion, so it is likely that work will be- gin immediately.
 PRIVATE IRRIGATION PROJECT. Farmer Seth Philbrock, who is sit uated about three miles from tcwn, west on the Yuma road, is making himself independent of rainfall. He appreciates the difficulty which the water companies experience in sup plying the consumers in the dry seasons and he has elected to unburden them tC some extent so far as his case applies. He purchased a gasoline pumping engine some time ago and is now manipulating it with the result that he is enabled to produce a con- tinuaI flow of from 50 to 70 inches of water from his well. He owns a quar- ter section of land, and believes that he will have water enough in the fu- -ure to test precisely the growing pow CTS of alfalfa. His neighbors are the experiment with inter 7s( and if it proves profitable they are intending to supply themselves with pumping plants.
 THE AJO DISTRICT. Earl Dunn ,ame in Tuesday from the Ajo. The water question which has been agi- .ating the minds of the owners, Mr Dunn thinks, will be solved. When worked by the Nexicans hitherto the ,reatest difficulty encountered was the lowing of water into the shafts so as c impede the work Since then the | operators have complained of a scarci- | y of water. It is still encountered in | he tunnels, but net sufficiently plen- | 1ful that any great amount of ore | an be handled, and consequently the [ Ire is shipped. MT Dunn has every | easOn tci believe that when the | hafts are sunk deeper a good supply f water will be reached. As the haft gets deeper the indications are lore favorable, and it is expected soon hat rich body of sulphurets will be uncovered. The Shotwell camp ear by and in the same nee. The owner has the same con itions tc contend with as are found t the Ajo. The ore is of the same haracter, and like the Ajo, the waste aken from it may be manipulated 7ith profit. The amount of ore is ap- arently unlimited. When MT. Dunn eft few days ago new concen- rator had just been received at the hotwell camp.
 NO OPTICAL ILLUSION. - There re two roomers at the Alamo house -hO thought yesterday that the house as haunted, but later they have cen forced to another conclusion. Ohn D. Evans and Sam Gaty. room lates, were visited Monday night with hat they misconstrued to be a vis- m. Soon after retiring fer the night ley heard a noise of hammering hich seemed to emanate from the anter of the room. A close examina- on revealed nothing. They had not sttIed down long when the noise as repeated, but that time in a more oclterous manner Their supersti- -ons were awakened to such an ex- mt that neither had the courage to Il lok for the cause Their hair was laced in perpendicular position ,nen they noticed a fantastic dis IspIay on the walls. The room was dark, but of a sudden two II 0und spots appeared on the wall. the lme kind which a man sometimes ses instead of snakes. The young lenis gaze was rivited to the scene nd their hearts grew gallinacious. | he tense strain on their already tur- ulent brains caused them to be seized ! 1th an unnatural sleep, from which | ley awakened yesterday morning
