VICTORY FOR sPARROWs.


 4 complete victory has been gained by the friends of the sparrows in Bos- ton. Mayor Quincy yesterday issued an order to Foreman William J. Ken nedy of the public grounds department, who had charge of the work of de- stroying the nests of the birds for sey- eral weeks past, instrueting him to stGI 5he warN at once. The mayor an ncuRced his decision late yesterday af- ternoon. when he had the following self explanatory statement sent to the newspapers:
 Tn view of the urgent need, as rep- resented by Superintendent Doogue Of the public grounds department, of as signing Foreman Kennedy and his as sistants, who have lately been engaged in destroying sparrow nests upon the common, back to the regular work of the department, Mayor Quincy has di- rected that this work of destroying nests be now discontinued for the sea son. He did not anticipate originally that it would prove such an undertak- ing or that it would withdraw so much labCf from the regular work of the de- partment, and he does not now feel that such work of the department should be longer slighted. Mir. Ken nedy has been directed to report to the mayor upon the result of iihe work ac- complished and to observe as far as possible whether the sparrows proceed to rebuild their nests as soon as the msn are withdra wn.''
 The work of destroying the nests was begun cn March 13, and at the out set was confined to Boston common, where Foreman Kennedy and a force of five labOrerS cleared the nests out of the trees, in the caves of the low buildings and from the hoods of the electric lights. Then the men visited the pU3.ic garden, and after their work was finished there they began operations in Blackstone and Franklire squares, at the south end. Up to the time that the work was ordered to be stopped it is estimated that fully 1000 nists and 1900 eggs had been de- stroyed
 In speaking of the work yesterday afternoon MT Kennedy said: Tn go- ing through the trees we found many curious things. In some of the old elms in the common and parks the nests were arranged like apartment houses. They were in tiers, each sep arate from the other. Some of the old elms are almost hollow, and every space where a nest could be hung was taken. When we had cleared out a hole and freed it from all that would affect the tree, we plugged up the en- trance to keep the birds from building there again. The Birds would come with straws in their peaks, and, find ing the rlace plugged up, would sit oD the branch and look in wonder at the spot wh=re their nests had been. I have seen them sit with heads cooked and peer at the place for quarter of an hour al a time e'-Bcston Tran script

valuable One year ago or less a few hundred dollars would have purchased a score of them At the present time to purchase a fraction of one you would have to go into your bank ac- count to the amount of at least five figures. That is the effect that deyel- opment has in the Jerome district This raise in values naturally has the effect of making he who has the shadow of a little property in this great copper district look closely to holding 1t.
 Near the News group is a claim to which beth Fred Carrigan and Bert Starr claim ownership. Carrigan says that he located the claim more than a year ago and had the necessary work done thereon to hold it. This Starr claims is not so, claiming that there is not a ten-foot hole on the property excepting that dug by himself. Carri- gan made up his mind to fight for the proper ty through the coullzs, so Satur- day last he secured the services Of City Surveyor Treadwell to go to the ground and measure the hole dug by man sent there to do the work, and in com pany with Ralph Dillon, Ed Austin and the surveyor, went onto the claim.
 The measurem ents had been made and the surveyor had left for home when Messrs. Carrigan, Dillon and Austin in strolling over the ground met Starr. Starr, in emphatic Ian guage asked Cerrigan what he was do- ing on his (Starr's) ground. After a few words the two men mixed up in a fierce fight. Starr, who is small. but very powerful man, knocked Carrigan down, falling on top of him. While on the ground he administered severe punishment to Carrigan, cutting him about the face and head badly, before they could be parted by the gentlemen present. Starr escaped without injury. The trouble will undoubtedly be set tied in the courts.-Jerome Mining News.
 MINING NOTES.
 Last Saturday Brown Bros. shipped a twenty horse power boiler and pump ing plant to the Amulet mine, Lynx creek, where it will be set up immedi- ately. The Amulet is the property of J. M. W. Moore, who has bonded it to O. P Collins for two years for $25,0OO. A number of men have been retimber- ing the shaft and work will be vigor- ously pushed. The Amulet is . silver mine and has an excellent record, hay ing produced nearly $90,000 worth of ere averaging about 300 ounces per ton. MT. Collins has several properties of his own on the same vein as the Anu ,et.-Prescott Courier.
 Another (big mining sale has been eeffcted in this county, being that of the Gold Note property. The consider ation is said to be S45,000, of which $15, 900 was paid in cash. This is the property on which the Hearst estate had a bond for TWO or three years sand on which several thousand dollars were spent in development work under the supervision of D. B.
