 Unless there shall be a decided change for the better in the condition of the president's>son before the end of the present week it is probable that Prince Henry of Persia may be compelled to defer his visit to the United States until later in the year
 A short time ago it was announced that Major James H. McClintick was slated for postmaster at Phenix. Now comes a Washington telegram saying that he is an applicant for United States marshal as it seems apparent that Daniels will not be given his commission.
 From reports received in Washing ten it is estimated that there are F. 900 cases of smallpox in the United States this week as against 4,000 last week. The disease does not seem to be confined to any particular locality, but is spread all over the country, scarcely state or territory being ex- empt from it.
 "Will the good times last indefinite ly7" some one asks. Well, figure up the colossal sum of money the people are throwing into the hole for vices and for worse than useless pleasure, and it is amazing that the good times have lasted so long as they have, an exchange says.
 The Ben Daniels case is quite a mixed-up affair. Right on the heels of the report that Daniels is the self same man who served a term in the Wyoming penitentiary, comes the statement from his friends in Cripple Creek denying that DIniels ever dealt a ''brace" game of faro, or that he ever lived in Wyoming While all this newspaper talk is going on about Daniels, his present whereabouts are said to be unknown.
 The lists of posts recommended by the army board has been published, but Whipple barracks does not ap- pear in it. Among the recommenda- tions are the following in this terri tory: A permanent one for two troops of cavalry at Fort Apache; a permanent post for four tro Aps e cavalry at Fort Grant; permanent one at Huacha for headquarters and four troops of cavalry.

 Senator W. A. Clark has purchased controlling interest in the Traction street railway company in Los An geles. The line was formerly owned by the Hook family of capitalists, consisting of two brothers and a sis ter. Sen ator Clark was taken into the company for the purpose of ex- tending the company's lines and he had not been in the enterprise very long until he found himself in locked horns with the Huntington-Hellman syndicate over theacquisition of a new franchise, the latter people succeed ing in securing it.
 Judge Bennett of Mount Vernon, N. r., refused to pay gas bill of Sl.56, which he claimed he had never con tracted, when the company shut of bis gas for three years. He brought suit, and the gas company carried the case to the appellate division of the Supreme Court, which has just hand ed down a decision affirming judg- ment for $500 in favor of Judge Ben nett for the inconvenience to which he had been put. The damages were assessed at the rate of 5 per day.
 The extension of the P. x E. rail road to the Bradshaw mountains means a new era in mining in this county. Wonderful strides have been made during the past two or three years, and particularly during the year 1901 in mining development, and outside of the Bradshaw country the present year promises to eclipse all former records. With the impetus which the building of this road will give to mining there, a veritable boom may be expected in this section. Rich as other districts have pro-en to be with development work, 1t has always been conceded that no richer section exists in Arizona than the Bradshaw mountain country. It has produced ores and bullion running into the millions in the past from its high grade mines, and even they have only been prospected on the surface. With railroad facilities there arc scores of properties which could no b. worked in the past on account of the expen- sive wagon freighting, bn which will pay handsome returns o1 fhe invest ment with lower fraigh. ties. Just keep your eyes on inc B. !shaws for the next year and see WI t changes will he effected there.
