About two carloads of wool is the
present daily average shipment from
Phoenix over the :. +. L. * L. for east
ern markets. The clip in the valley
this year will amount to about ZOO, 900
pounds, about - per cent. larger than
last year The price for wool however
is not as good this year as last, which
will make the net proceeds about the
same. The cause for the decrease in
the price is said to be the lack of de-
mand for wool in the eastern markets,
there being Il larger comparative con-
sumption of cotton than heretofore

There was trouble at ellison last
week caused by the desire OF a sQuaw
backed by fifty or more of her people,
to take possession of the Morris
Belknap ranch, as his wife, and to
throw VIM. Koehn. who purchased ii
from Eelknap, of the promises. They |
succeeded in getting into the house, |.
taking possession of some of Koehn's !
property and throwing more OF it out /
of the house when they were stopped |
by Chaw Anderson with Winchester,
until some Indian police arrived, who /
induced the squaw to retire with her |
supporters, and seek her redress in the /

The following is from the Tombstone !
Pro~pector: While the Prospector has /
implicit confidence in the ultimate ar /
rival OF the hopeRfOr and cherished
boom for Tombstone, we would advise !
parties who are seeking employment to !
hold aloof from here until such time as
definite action is taken on the boom be-
leading reports are being published /
through the press that may induce To-
borers and workingmen who could i'll |
afford it TO head this way when moth
ing but disappointment would be their
lot. The time is not yet ripe, and |
when it arrives it will be duly herald
ed.
There is much evidence that Tomb
stone will be enjoying a large share of 4
its old time prosperity. This from the |
fact that capital will take hold of its |
mines, which are as rich as ever, but |
the depreciation in the price of silver
compelled stopping operations. Those |
who are competent to judge say that |
by far the richest mineral, as well As /
quantity. are in the workings of the |
mines. That the permanency of the |
veins have been established beyond |
question, rs we'll As the values which /
they carry. Hence the outlook for q /
revival of old time mining in Tomb /
stone is based on Il good foundation.-l
