Among the many sight-seers who
visited the river last evening was Mr..
Lavitska, a shoemaker. He, with a
crowd of men, chose the Missouri
Pacific track as a means of reaching
the river. The track is surrounded
by water right up to the rails and for
nearly half a mile one step of the end
of the ties will precipitate one into six
feet OF water.
1t so happened last evening that a
freight train made the trip west about
the time the men were treading this
long strip of track. Most of the men
managed to step aside and let the
train pass, but Lavitska who is fat
decided to trot ahead of the train and
beat it to the end of the nood-sur-
rounded strip. The train came faster
and faster and Lavitska trotted faster
and faster. Then the engine began to
whistle as it crept upon the retreating
fat man. Lavitska gave a despairing
look behind, glanced at the waters on
both sides, and turned on more steam.
He was nearing the switch which leads
to the mill. But the engineer did not
want to slow down and irritated by
the men ahead he turned on full steam
and the engine began to snort and in
crease its speed. Lavitska still ran
on. but soon he saw he would be
overtaken. With a despiring wave
of the arms he turned at an angle
and dashed off the track, plunging
into six feet of water, fioated up to
the track and hung onto a tie until the
freight had passed.

These claims are located 2t the head of Alder canyon. says the Tucson Citizen, just over the ridge from Camp Condon. MT. Strat- ton brought a number of ore samples from the claims and. if his prospects carry any quantity of ore similar to the samples the claims are very rich.
 These claims were first located a long time ago, when the old Apache smelt- CT. which is in the same canyon, vas running full blast. MT. Stratton has located six claims on the main ledge which is the same lead of ore on which the Catalina mine of F. NJ Hartman and the CondOn mines are located. He has completed about three hundred fee: of development work and in two of the shafts the ore shows up very well. The ore is a high grade sulphide and some of it will run over fifty per cent copper Ar. Stratton prospected this country . long time ago when he owned the Intet Ocean ranch and he picked out this property as the best in the Catalin. mountains.

 Last Saturday Messrs. Friedman, Vroom and Bennington took a trip out to claim recently located by them near Copper basin. While looking at the new prospect and getting out some large pieces to bring to town for assay, says the Prescott Courier. a small boy who was with the party amused him. self by breaking rock on a small hill near by. Presently the small boy re- turned to where the men were working, bringing with him q piece of roCk which. upon examination, proved to be high grade copper ore. The men went to the place where the boy had been breaking rock and found that the piece G; copper ore had been broken from q piece of copper float weighing about thirty pounds. The copper vein was rot found. but is thought to be very close to the spot where the float was discovered. Ore from the original find is galena and black sulphide. and is thought to be rich in silver. A good sized streak of this ore is being opened up.
