Cooper Medical college. San Francisco,
returned to the city Yesterday from i
six weeks overland trip to the Grand
Canyon. He was accompanied by Mr..
Proffitt, a banker of White Plains, New
York DR.. O'Connor left this morning
for Prescott with DR.. Knapp of White
Plains.
THE SUPERVISORS board of
supervisors which has been sitting as a
board of equalization for the last two
weeks resumed its capacity of a board
of supervisors yesterday long enough
to attend to accumulated routine bust
ness. 1t will finish its work with the
original assessment roll this week.
What kicking is to be done will have to
be done quickly.
THE UNION MINE.-An agreement
was recorded yesterday between Col
onel William Christy and John Osborn
for the sale of the Union mine in the
Cave Creek district. The considera ton
mentioned is 100000. The Union mine
has not been operated lately. but those
who are familiar with the property be-
lieve that it conceals great deal of
wealth Mr.. Osborne is interested in
the Ben Hur, which lies in the same
district
IRON SPRINGS.-Homer Mcneil re-
turned yesterday morning from Iron
Springs. where he spent Sunday with
his family. which has lately visibly in
creased. Ping pong has broken loose
in the colony. There is an orchestra
there now and there are dances on
Tuesday. Thursday and Friday nights
The Tuesday night dance is for the chill
dren. There are about 300 people at
the springs now and within a month
the number will be increased to 500.
MESSENGER BOYS UNION.-There
seems to be a weakening of the forces
in the Western Union messenger boys
local union. Eddie Webster threw uD
his job a few days ago and went to the
coast. and last night Dallas McFau
quit to take a trip in the hills with his
father. That leaves but one charter
member to hold the organiza ton to-
gether. If he should be overcome witt
the heat in some of his rapid ira nsit
enterprises there would be a dead
union.
FAITH STRONG YET.-Billy Moore
whose faith in this country and in the
coming of early rains has been referred
to before. left last evening for his cat
tie ranch on the other side of the Reno
mountains. He is satisfied it rained a
little in the Four Peaks country on
Sunday and is working this way. He
fully expects TO get soaking wet before
he gets home, but if he does not he will
simply salt the cattle to encourage
them in browsing on the palo verde
, trees and malapai rocks while he does
more digging in the water holes.

returned t. Phoenix recently af-
ter an absence from the territory of

been in the Philippines. He spent TWEEN
~ months in the islands and he was

THIEVES ARRESTED-Cons BILE
Martin last evening just before dark
arrested two of a party of three petty
thieves in front of William Limbrock S
place o. business. They had been max
ing repeated tours around the block,
each time picking up something of
value. Among the things found in
their possession was d coat from the
New York store and d pair of shoes
stolen from Limbrock. One of them
made sneak through the alley, and
some jewelry was found in his wake.

DISAPPOINTED NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
time during Sunday night burglars
forced their way into Paffords cash
store. on South First avenue, and after
stirring things around some left again.
taking nothing with them that has yet
been missed. Entrance was effected by
prying open a window in the rear of
the store. The robbers then went to
the cash drawer and broke it open.
but found nothing o; value therein. MIR.
Pafford is one of the wise men that use
cash drawer as money receptacle
in the day time and as a burglar bluff
at night. If he has more cash on hand
at night than he wants to carry around
| in his pocket, he puts it in a sack and
hides it in a sugar bin. ii bean bag or
barrel of rolled oats. Any old place
| is good enough, so long as it is not
where it seems as though it ought to
be. and is never in the same place
twice. Burglars who do business with
Mr. Pafford will have to possess tel.
! epathic accomplishments and establish
| communication with him in some occult
| manner. Either that or hold him w
in daylight.
