LOWER BISBEE.

In front of the swim" in lower Bis bee yesterday. several wagons heavily loaded with supplies passed through or their way to the Huachucas. Gus Baron was in charge of one outfit. which will complete the assessment work on the properties recently sold by that gentleman and his associates to the Michigan people. MT. Baron, as Is well known, was an old Tombstoner O; the vintage of 1880. He is a distin- guished model of the Arizona pioneer miner, and this is his second raise in the Huachucas. He was head push on the celebrated "Toughnut" in it's palmy days, and has ever been prominent Tn mining circles. After the first of the year he will open active development work on the properties recently ac- quired by the Michigan people in the Montezuma canyon district. Besides these movements to the front, several wagons heavily loaded with supplies passed through to the Easter Sunday district, accompanied by men, to look after assessment work in that district

ACADEMY OF MEDICINE
Its Regular Quarterly Meeting an h.
 teresting One.

The regular quarterly raeeti@c of the . Arizona academy of medicine was hell last evening in the parlors of Coffee AIS place. There was a large attend ance and sumptuous supper was served.
 A very interesting paper was read by the secretary, which was prepared for this meeting by the late Dr. Har- low J. Phelps. Other timely subjects were brought up and discussed but no other papers were read.
 The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: pr. F.. P. Pal mer, president; Dr. w. M. Bell, vice. president; w. H. Seton, secretary and treasurer.
 The society unanimously passed the following resolutions of respect to the memory of its late member, Dr. liar ] low J. Phelps:
 Whereas, Almighty God in his infinite wisdom has taken from our midst a most worthy and respected member of our association, Harlow J. Phelps. 1 Whereas, We deeply feel the loss to the people O: the territory. of Phoenix and to ourselves, of a man of such fin- | ioiAtu sI4EilAlllC dlldlllilcHlS, NHOSe professional future gave every promise of the greatest professional good, | Whereas, The deceased was a man whose every professional act was based upon the most honorable impulse whose love for suffering humanity was more abiding than personal aggran- dizement or personal pleasures the memory of whose life while with us will ever cast a halo of glory around our profession and our association.
 Therefore be it resolved, That we the members oi the Arizona Academy of Medicine offer to tEe bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of the noble. obedient son, the loving, sympathetic brother. the kind, true, helpful friend. whose every act en- deared him to all, being the outward manifest of a noble soul overflowing with high ideas and sturdy devotion to its duty and its God.

MINING ALONG THE LINE.

There is no use trying to describe 1t. It is quite evident now that mining boom cannot be averted, says the Bis bee Review. Our efficient assayer and civil engineer, George Clark, states that every foot of ground between Blsbee and Glance station is being surveyed or is already surveyed with view to a deal with legitimate companies, and the same condition is rapidly obtaining from Glance on to the national bound ary. MT. Clark has attended to most of this work, and asserts that during his four years residence in Bisbee he has never seen anything in the direction of mining activity that would compare with it. Another report coming from sober sources is to the effect that day before yesterday several men with q four-horse wagon loaded with location posts started in at the east end of Christ Christenson's ranch and located everything to Douglas on the national boundary. Every hour seems to swell the national impulse in mining opera tions, and as said before a boom can not be averted.
