 The Mohave Miner says Captain Polhamus, with the river steamer Mo-
 have is hauling the two mills for the
 Arizona & New England mining com
 pany from the Needles to the landings
 forty miles above. On the Nevada side
 of the river twenty stamp mill will be
 erected and on the Arizona side ten
 stamps will be added to the ten stamps
 already in position. The two mines
 owned and operated by the company
 are producing enough at present to
 keep the mills running steadily and
 by the time the plant is ready to start ! fI0,-rc,oI Io

 Judge Duke has drawn his will. Not
 that the Judge contemplates casting
 of this mortal coil any ways soon, but
 he realizes that in the midst of life we
 are in death and is preparing for all
 emergencies. He says the city coun- cil might pay his bill all at once and
 that would be a severe shock if not a
 fatal one. We notice one clause in
 the Judges will where he requests
 the burial of one dozen bottles of liquid air with his corpse to be used to keep him cool in the next world. Judging from the above the recorder must be aware of the fact that hell is his destiny.
 John B. Young writes from Yuma, Ariz., inclosing clipping from the Yuma Sentinel, in which Young's arrest for drunkness is chronicled, and that of his friend who sought to shield Young from trouble. The Sentinel agrees in it's comment with the complaint Of Young. that he was treated unfairly, saying: "Yuma treats the miners rather shabby, anyhow" YOungs letter and the Sentinel article both show that a contemptible state of things exists in Yuma police circles, 1 and that it must react upon the good name and trade of that important A. Times.
 Richard Fisher, well known Ariz- ona prospector and miner, was killed | in Tombstone this week by the caving in of a mine. The dead body was reach ed Wednesday morning after three days and nights ot toiling. It appears that he was not killed by the cave-in, for the workmen heard him speak dur ing the process of excavation, but the supposition is that the ground filled in around him and gradually buried him alive. When found Fishers body was almost erect with one foot pressed backward and both hands firmly held to his breast. Slightly above his head the jumbled mass of timbers formed a protection from the ground above, also furnished space for air, until the slide came that covered him complet- ely.
 A Bienkowski, like the genius he is, has evolved @ new scheme whereby he may corrall the elusive dollars. Charley proposes to start an egret farm and conduct the same on the principle of an ostrich farm. The egret is a tropical bird of the heron family and is found in great abund- ance at the mouth of the Colorado river. They have white crest on the head the feathers of which is valued at $32 an ounce. It has been figured out that twenty birds will yield an ounce of feathers twice a year, or ten birds will yield an ounce of feathers every year which would be $32 a year for ten birds The birds have been, and are being, killed for their feathers and as @ consequence they will soon be extinct. Charley proposes to fence 160 acres of marshy land along the river bottom near Yuma and domes- ticate the egret. He thinks this could be done by clipping their wings. He has several birds in his possession now and they seem to stand captivity well , and are easily tanned. The scheme is feasible.
