 George Dunn has returned from a short prospecting trip in the, vicinity ot Silver creek. He brought back with him a couple of very interesting curics, one of which is an old rusty spur of Spanish make. The rowel is corr0sed of five large teeth, each of which is about two and a half inches in Ter gth and filed down to a sharp point. The spur is of the same style as used by the early Spanish settlers and is undoubtedly several hundred years old. The other curio is several pieces of large bones, evidently from some extinct animal. One of the boDes is about eight inches in diame- ter and about two and a half feet long. The other pieces came from one of the jcints of the leg without a doubt. George has these relics on exhibition at the Turf saloon.-Bisbee Orb.

 An Indian coyote dog strayed into town Wednesday to take in the sights of the metropolis. He was an inno- cent looking canine and possessed a gullible countryfied air. He soon had q fight and every hummer deg in town -Cc insisting of about legion-jumped on him. The Indian dog formed him self into a flying wedge and circled like whiriwind, snapping right and left. He was no respecter of dcgs and few there were of the mangy pack fOi ming the attack that did not feel the sharpness of his teeth. Genuine human sympathy generally goes cut to tie under dog in the fight, and when the coyote cur escaped from the legiCn little the worse for the fight, but with many of his assailants limping and bleeding. mighty cheer went up for him. He left town immediately, and i.s no doubt now ref1ecting upon the wickedness of city life.-Yuma Senti- nel.
 A charitably inclined tourist of the fen ale persuasion stepped from the train one day lately and approached one of the pitiful looking old centen- arian Indians who frequent all trains in the hope of picking up a dime in some manner. The aforesaid tourist went down in her pocket Git is not in cur sphere to tell how she found her pockeD and fshed up three coppers, and, with an air of self-satisfaction, handed them to Poor To. The recipi- ent of the lady's bounty scrutinized his gift very closely, turning the cop pers over and OVer and another old Indian joined in the investigation The benevolent tourist went down in per pocket again with the intention of bestowing a blessing upon the sec ond Indian, but the old ibeggars de signed her intent and both beat a llasty retreat with considerable ab- rTptness It is evident that Poor To i hes no use for a copper and considers those who bestC'w such gifts as very cbeap.-Yuma Sentinel
