A Sad Accident.

The 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
 Phillips, living about six miles east of town. met with a fatal accident Mon day last. The little fellow was in the habit of riding around the ranch to 10 k afIer the stock. Monday morning as usual he left on his horse and was not again seen alive. The horse came home in the afternoon. which caused much anxiety to the parents. Search- ing parties were immediately sent out but the body was not found until about noon on the following day. It is not clear just how the accident happened, but it is supposed that the boy was thrown and caught his foot or arm in coil of rope hanging from the pommel of the saddle and was dragged to death. IL was quite apparent from the trail lett that tue body had been. dragged about seventy-five yards. The lefta arm was brokeni and both feet were also broken. The body was bruised, appar- enily from the fall or from the drag ging. There were no wounds on the body to indicate foul play. The eyes We're closed and there were no ,indica- tiOus that the boy had suffered for any length Of time. He was probably sLun- ned, or possibly killed. by the fall.
 Constable Hamilton organized a ,t'ssts Tuesday to search for the body, but on arriving at the ranch learned that it had already been found. The body was br.ught 10 Clifton Wednt.s- day morning and buried in the after noon. The parents have the deep sym pathy of the community.

 A poker gameli is reported at Casas Grande, Mexico, in whichsit is alleged that $40, 900 in gold nuggets changed hands. The most remarkable thing about it is that the gold nuggets were washed out of that immediate section.

City Enterprise. The work will cer-
 tainly be completed within thirty
 days from date and the plant will be
 put into continues operation.
 The company will begin active op- erations by the middle of January or
 the first of February next. There has
 been some delay caused the company by reason of the shipping of pipe for the five-mile pipe line. A portion of the pipe has already been shipped and the remainder will be shipped on the 17th inst. So soon as it arrives, the work of laying the pipe and construct ing the line will be pushed to comple- tion. This company is going ahead with the work of insta ling machinery and getting into first class shape for continuous operation.

 There is a large amount of good grade ore on the dump and consider able ore blocked out in the mine, all being ready for treatment.
 There is a great deal of prospect ing going on in this district, and a number of claim owners are busy do- ing assessment work. The district has good indications of coming to the front in mining way. The charac- ter and grade of ore are favorable to the development of all the claims, which, as work progresses, show even better than the owners anticipated. Henry BrIxner, of this clly, has just returned from the camp and states that the Volcano owners, and in fact all owners of claims, are very much over the future outlook of the district. It may be stated that a large amount of development work, prospecting and mining operations
