ming to assume little of it's ancient
 oustle. The new shaft is progressing
 favorabIy. It was reported that a
 large body of rich ore had been struck at the l50 foot level. There seems to be
 feeling of confidence Nh the minds of
 all the Tombstoners as to the future prosperity of the town.
 There Is much railroad talk in the air. which 1t is confidently predicted. will soon materialize into substantial
 results. The prospect of a railroad from Cochise station on the Southern Pacific. to Pearce, Tombstone, Tur- quoise and Naco. seems to be among the probable coming events of the ifn- mediate future. Also a line from Douglass to Tombstone is predicted. When one can begin to realize the im-
 mense sums that have been invested in
 cochise county in railroads and mining
 within the past few years and the rapid influx of people seeking to estab- fish new enterprises, the future pros perity of that section of the country seems assured. When the railroad from Bisbee to Fl Paso Is completed and the road from Douglas to Nacosari. also the connection of the Bisbee and Morenci road Is effected, Cochise county will be pretty we'll gridTroned
 with railroads, and transportation to every important point will be easy and comfortable.
 When a road is built from Phoenix through Florence and Tucson to Gala basas. then all the great centers of trade in southern Arizona will be with in easy reach by rail. Then, indeed. will the great and phenomenal progress of Arizona begin, and its future wealth and commercial power will be perma- nently established.
 The recent suits involving the Nam moth mine have caused widespread surprise and interest. It has been heretofore considered foregone con- cIusion that the Mammoth was des- tined to eclipse all other mines in its output, and successful working. IL has been operated so long and continuously that the public was not prepared for this sudden and unexpected litigation. The suit for foreclosure of the mort gage for non-payment of interest dues. seemed remarkable in the light of the enormous amount of gold which has been extracted during the past three years. It is reasoned that a strange and peculiar condition of affairs will be disclosed upon the hearing of this case. The Farmers Loan and Trust com pany of New York is plaintiff and the Mammoth Collins Gold Mines. Limited. is defendant. Mir Charles N Morgan of New York city. one of the promi- v1as lan nf tbx ct av.l otos of Pierpont Morgan. and Senator E. D. Morgan. is the leading counsel in the United States for the defendant corpo- ration.
 Mir. Morgan in June telegraphed Colonel Zabriskie to appear at once for the company and prevent default Colonel Zabriskie associated Colonel Herring with him and telephoned their appearance to the clerk of the court at Florence. Subsequently Mir. Nor gan came out from New York to Tue son and remained a week in close con- sultation with Colonel Zabriske and Mir. Herring. During this time the de- fense was carefully prepared and a motion made to vacate the order ap- pointing Mir. Blair receiver. This mo- ton was partially heard on the 9th and was then continued until the 18th. at which time this question will be thor oughly ventilated.
 Mir. Morgan returned to New York after the answer was filed. but will probably return in November when the foreclosure proceeding comes up on It's merits. In the meantime Mr. Blair was removed by the English company as agent and manager of the Nam moth mines and Colonel Zabrisxie has been appointed in his place with full and complete powers to act in every emergency.
