R. J. Duncan, trainmaster, and J. $. O'Erien, travelling engineer of the Southern Pacific for the Tucson diyi- sion, spent Saturday last in Clifton. They came over to examine the narrow gauge engines of the A. < Y. Nj. with view of purchase for mining com- pany in Southern California. Mir. Duncan says that for the present the $. P will not add any more oil burners to their syStsm, tor tb@.,saYn that the Beaumont sashers are f:.tfffrSg to gush, and must soon be considered as pump ing propositions, which is an addition al expense. This change in the oil situation leaves the problem of cheap oil as an unknown quantity. It is of course possible that the oil in paying quantities may be exhausted in another year or so. The 5. F. people need coal, and the ERA would not be surprised to see their line not only extended from SolomOnville to Clifton, but also on up the San Francisco river to the coal field, which can be reached in one hundred and twenty-five miles from this place. The coal fields of that sec tion are practically inexhaustible, and the coal is said to be fully equal 10 that which Is coming from the Indian terri tory, and is now being used all over the west. Direct connection with this new coal field would be of vast benefit to Arizona and New Mexico. It would give a new impetus to mining, manu- fracture and commerce. With cheap coal there is no reason why all pro- duets manufactured from copper should duccd. Refining works at Clifton would mean the building of a great city here.

GRANT COUNTY MINING NEWS.

The Caldwell and St. Louis mines have been started up with a full force of men.
 The mines have stood idle for nearly year and their renewal of operations is being hailed with a great deal Of joy by all.
 A new store has been opened at Pascal which is the site of the old lett owner.
 The White Signal concentrator is being worked to its fullest capacity treating the low grade ores of the Sampson.
 The district which has long been characterized as "The St. Louis Mine" will hereafter be known as Sampson vile" named after the Sampson mine. Work upon the Rascomb group Of which the Gettysburg is one and which have been operated lately by l.. P. Deming has temporarily closed down. It is eXpec ted that work will be re- sumed as soon as certain detail matters in regard to the purchase of the mines nave been settled.
 A. E. Gibson, president of the Amer ican Consolidated Copper company re- gently paid his mines a visit and an- nounces that he is well pleased with the prospects there.
 l suppose that the same feeling in re- gard to the Shelter trust exists every where but will say that there is an in- tense feeling of dissatisfaction here in regard to their arbitrary methods in dealing with ore shippers.
 An agency for an independent smelt CT, if located here, would greatly injure this shelter as the independent would get a vast amount Of the ore that has heretofore gone to the local shelter which recently went into the hands of the trust.
 There has been some rumor that an agency would be made here but as yet nothing tangible has come from it.

The Lordsburg Liberal thinks that George Bugbee, of Benson, will get the office of territorial auditor when Brodie receives his commission as governor of Arizona. Mir. Bugbee was agent of the Southern Pacific at Lordsburg, New Mexico, when war was declared with Spain. He resigned his position, said to have been worth $200 per month, and enlisted in the Rough Rid CT regiment, bnt never got nearer Cuba than Tampa, Florida, which was a great disappointment to him. MT. Bugbce is business man of the very highest qualifications, but we doubt if he would consider a proposition that would disturb his present successful railroad occupation for any office that would pay him no more and necessarily be of uncertain duration.-Review. George Bugbee is one of the best and must competent mon in Arizona. He is now agent of the $. r. at Benson.

Neil Munro had case before his honor Justice Wright last week, which attracted considerable attention. About eight months ago Neil bought a baby burro, and kept it in his yard for his children to play with. Recently it was turned out, and failed to return. After it had been absent several days Mir. Munro offered a reward for it's re- turn. It was brought in by Mexican, and the reward paid. It had been branded during its absence. A few days later a Mexican came along and claimed it, but Mr. Munro would not give it up. The Me 1ican brought suit before Justice Wright for the burro. Mir. Munro and several of his neigh bors swore to the identity of the burro. The Mexican who claimed it swore positively that it was his, and that it had not left his possession since it was born. and this he also substantiated by several witnesses. The testimony was so contradictory that the justice con- tiuued the case until the following day. The Mexicaus, in order to make their case still stronger, brought the alleged mother of the burro to the justices office and hitched her in front of the door. While the judge was arranging his papers, a burro colt, about the same age as the one in question, rushed across the river and up to its mother and commenced taking nourishment This, of course, settled the case. in Munro's favor.
