Three Men Killed at Ray. Saturday was payday at Ray, and the several hundred Mexicans em-

ployed on the railroad grade and in the mines were having the jollifca- ton which generally follows that event. Heretofore She damages have resulted merely in bloody noses, with perhaps . stab or two, though the numerous saloons iu the camp have always done a thriving business on such occasions. Last Saturday was no exception, and it was perhaps deemed the proper thing to make it especially lively for Msssrs. Hunting ton. Randolph and Hood, the pronnin- ent Southern Pacific officials, who were present.
 The saloons ran wide open all night, aud music, dancing and drinking were in full blast. About 8 o'clock Sunday morning i'll one of the saloons the Orosco brothers, Domingo and Rafael, had an altercation with Ramon Lopez, and pushing him out of the door, shot him full of holes, killing him almost instantly. Lopez was unarmed and offered no resistance.
 The 0roscos then passed down the street twirling their six-shooters on their fingers, past Donau's store and up on the hill into Sonoratown. Here they met Hilario Feliz, and asked him if he was "bravo," to which Feliz replied that he was not. Thereupon they also shot him dead.
 By this time the camp was aroused and men came pouring from all direc. tions armed with shotguns, Winches- ters and six-shooters. The fusilade then began, with the result that Domingo 0rosco was killed end Rafael desperately wounded. Deputy Sheriff Charley White brought the latter tc Florence and he is now in the county hospital, with guard over him anc small chance for recovery.
 The 0roscos were recently from Quitaya, Sonora, and had only been ir the Ray camp two days.

H. E. Huntingdon and Col. Epes Randolph
 on Tour of inspection.
From the Tucson star.l

Colonel Epes Randolph, superintend- ent of the Arizona and New Mexico division of the $. P. railway, returned to the city Monday afternoon, shortly after three o'clock, after weeks absence from department headquar- ters. Together with H. E. Huntingdon, nephew and assistant to Collis P. Hunt ington, president of the s. P. railway, and Chief Engineer Wm. Hood, Colonel Randolph has been making trip over the west end of the division, which in- cluded run to Phoenix on business and pleasure.
 On Saturday these gentlemen drove from Casa Grande to Florence upon in- vitation, and there they were generous ly entertained by the contemplating citizens, who expressed desire to have rail connection with the outer world, and ssuggested that in event of 65 laile route being established with the mines from Casa Graade, they would like to contribute to the business of that branch. They were assured that their wishes would be gratifed, con tingent upon the construction of the proposed branch. Messrs. Huntington and Randolph both expressed surprise at the evident turn of affairs for the betterment of Florence, all pointing to a revival in the once thriving and always attractive county seat of Pinal. They had always heard of quiet Flor ence, but the conditions presented did not seem to warrant the statement which had gone abroad. The appear ance of mining men and hustle in all avenues of trade were decided evil dences of prosperity, present and future, for Florence.
 The invitation of the management of the Ray Copper Mining company, who are operating on Mineral creek, had to be met, and the stay of Messrs. Ran- dolph and Huntington in Florence was necessarily brief. They were driven to the camp which has become so widely known in the past few m onths. The Ray mines pleased Mir. Hunting ton, whose opinion was particularly sought for, but the development is not sufficiently advanced to warrant B positive answer 1t this time, though
 with continued activity and suficiena progress in development the possibili- ties were indeed favorable to that end. A second visit may result in something
 more tangible, it being already ap- parent that it is not alone the prospect of good mines on Mineral creek, but with reference to others within easy reach of branch road, should it be- come fact. The gentlemen took ac- count of the fact that other mi ming would eventually mateFialize and that there are now large shipaaente of grain
 made from the country tributary te Florence, the presnt outlet being
 Casa Granae.

Visit of Railroad Officials.

Last Saturday Mir. H. E. Hunting gton, general manager of the Southern Pacific railroad, Colonel Epes Ran dolph. division superintendent, and Mr. William Hood, chief engineer, came over from the railroad in com pany with Fernando Maldonado. The party visited the Casa Grande ruins and then drove through the beautiful farming lands of the Kenil- worth country, arriving in Florence about noon.
 Here a committee of citizens awaited them, and they were escorted to the Florence Hotel, where bountiful re port was spread. Those present at the luncheon in addition to the visitors were Messrs. Barker, Keating, Colton, Chittenden, Ladd, Harrison, Brock way, Stone, Angulo and Reppy. Messrs. Huntington and Randolph had never before visited Florence or Kenilworth, and they expressed them selves as well pleased. It was ex- plained that they were on their way to the Ray mine at the invitation of off, cials of that company with view of building hr.nch road into that camp. lit were found that business would justify it they would certainly build the road, and from what they had al- ready seen in this vicinity they were satisfied that it would not do to over look our section. They expressed re- gret that they had not more time to remain with us, and soon after left for the Ray mine, where they were simply astounded at the amount of work in progress. After thoroughly investigat- ing matters there they returned to Florence Sunday evening and remained over night.
 Monday morning she party was taken to the Court House, and from the cupola of that fine structure they had magnificent view of the valley and the lay of the land. MT. Colton displayed map of the county and pointed out the location of Casa Grande and Mineral Creek, plainly showing that Florence was on a direct line. Chief Engineer Hood seemed especially impressed with this fact, and when it was explained that the Board of Super visors was willing to grant right of way over any of the county roads, this feature also had it's weight.
 When the party left for Casa Grande it was evident that Florence had created favorable impression, and it is quite as certain that the people were pleased with their whole-souled, genial and intelligent visitors. May they come again soon when they have a longer time to stay.

Arthur ]. sewell, of Maine, Bryans' running mate in 1896, passed through Kingman on No l last Wednesday af- ternoon. He was accompanying an in- valid sister to Los Angeles and will re- main in California all winter. Mr. Sewen looked hale and hearty and re- affirmed his belief in the nomination and election of Bryan to the presi- dency next year. The gold democrats, or those who feared an infaction of the currency, are getting back into the party, believing that Mir. Bryan's devotion to the peoples interests will safeguard them against any stringent measures. .--F Mohaye Miner.
