 At the meeting of the Southwestern Miners Association in Fl Paso this week, John P. Casey, upon request, submitted paper on the mining con ditions in the Cananea district, which proved a most interesting document
 Returning miners from Cananea who participated in the recent strike at that camp speak in the highest terms of Scott White, secretary of the Cana nea company, who by his wise counsel and straightforward manner won from the strikers the highest respect and admiration.
 A Mexican named Brella Cyprino was killed in one of the mines at Mo renci Wednesday. He went into one of the drifts after powder and fuse and neglected to lower the bar which pro- tects the shaft. During his absence the cage was taken to the surface and the miner walked into the open shaft. falling 70 feet.
 Judge s. K. Williams has been hon. ored by District Judge George R. Da- wis by the appointment of Court Com missioner for the first judicial district of the territory of Arizona for the pe- riod of four years This is certainly an appointment to be proud of, since it vests in the appointee the power 70 open the district court in the absence of the judge. He is also given federal powers. such as hearing foreign affida- wits, deporting Chinamen. attending to land patents, etc. The appointment is very importment one and the judge is to be congratulated.
 We often think Mexico as being the cheapest place on earth to buy, and that a few dollars will keep one for ever. But careful investigation shows this not to be the case. In speaking with several men who have been en- ployed at La Cananea mines, they state that to get Stetson hat there that we can buy in the UHited States for 8 you must pay twenty-five Mexican adobes. To get ten-cent plug of to bacco you must pay fifty cents in Mex ican money, and to get suit of clothes there you can't get enough to buy with This certainly puts a new aspect upon things that is not always considered by those who rush into Mexico because they have been offered big wages.
 Broken down sports are slowly wend- ing their way home from the Fl Paso carnival.
 In speaking of Shea and McGowan, Bisbee men, the Fl Paso Times says:
 John Shea and C. McGowan were the next contestants up- lney are from Bisbee, Ariz., and that they had enthusiastic supporters present in large numbers was evidenced by the shoit of "Get there, boys" which greeted them. Their followers said that Shea and McGowan were not after the Fl Paso purse especially, but that if they beat Johnson and Berg, who drilled the day before. they would get s1,000 on returning to Bisbee. They started of at a pretty, smooth pace and kept it up to the finish. The crowd cheered them again and again, but their pace was fraction under the winning gait and they only scored A 1-4 inches.
