AN ORDER REGARDING COATS
Recalls an Earlier One Made at
 Tucson.

Judge Kent made a ruling yesterday that coats are to be worn. The ruling was called out by the presence in tho jury box and elsewhere about the court room of q number of gentlemen in their shirtsleeVes.
 Once before there was an order Of that kind in the Territory. It was made by Judge Fitzgerald, who had lately come to Tucson.
 One morning in midsummer the judge noticed among the jurymen one man who was coatless. The judge ask ed him where his coat was. The man replied that he had left it at home The judge told him to go and get it and the case was suspended pending his return.
 The judge had neglected to inquire, where his home was. The man was d miner living in the Sierritas at least sixty miles from Tucson. He obeyed the order of the court to the letter and set out for his home. He walked all the way to his home and all the way back. In the meantime the officers of the court had been ordered to bring him in but they either did not know whera he lived or they refrained from telling the court. One morning the man ap- peared in the court room with his coat inquiry he said that he had just come from home and considering the means of travel he had made rather good time.

RANGE CONDITIONS
Sheep Bands From the North Expect
 ed Early This Year.

Not only is there promise of a lively season in Phoenix through reservoir prospects, the beet sugar enterprise and the construction of the Phoenix & Eas- tern railroad, but prospects for stock men were never more flattering, while the mining business is just growing in- to vigorous childhood.
 Those who have journeyed into the hills surrounding this valley since the recent rains, says the range. that is the nearby range, is much better than us- ual at this season of the year. The deserts and nearby hills are not given to extensive cattle grazing bur they are one of the inviting conditions that bring large bands of sheep to this section every winter. That they are ir: better shape than usual would indicate an earlier arrival of f1ocks and perhaps Ia late departure in the spring.
 The wool output from Phoenix has come to be an important thing in the winter season and the maintenance of large shearing camps at nearby points. particularly in the Cave Creek country is the means of distributing d great deal of money here. It is announced that several large bands of sheep are now on the way here and it is expected the arrival of all of them will be ear Her than usual this year.

GOLD ROAD MINE
Bullion Output Change
 of Management Probable.

The Gold Road mining company is shipping far more bullion from it's mines than the people of this county are aware oi, says the Mohave Miner. This week q bar valued at $15, 600 went to the mint and it is expected that this will be exceeded next week. Superin- tendent Stephens was reported to have said some time ago that by the first of October, when the machinery was gotten in good running order the out put of bullion would be materially in creased by reason of putting through the richer grade of ore. Heretofore cnly the poorer grades were mliled. The mines and mill are now running smoothly and the property has become one of the permanent dividend institu- tiCns of the territory.
 It is reported authora lively that a change will be made in the manage ment of the mines and the mill within the next few days, C. A. Stephens be- ing supplanted as suDerintendent by MT. Sparge. of Salt Lake City. Mr. Stephens will take charge of the prop erty of the Posey company at Amboy. and will put the mines in a productive shape. His work at the Gold Road has shown him to be one of the best mine and mill managers in the west MT. Sparge. who succeeds to the man. agement of this great property is one of the best known mining men on the Pacific coast and is thoroughly capable of managing the details of both mine and mill. The company will take over the boarding house and will manage all the details of the business at the Gold Road for the benefit of the con- pany- It is thought that few changes Will be made in the management and methods employed in mining and mill Ing at the camp, although there may be some retrenchment in official salar- les. The Gold Road mine is one of the greatest gold properties in Arizona and much interest centers in the change in its management.

Mines and Minerals
 of Arizona

Once again comes the very pleasing news of the opening up Of very large ore body in the Bisbee district. 'and in ground operated in by a purely devel- opment company says the Bisbee Re view.
 This time it is the Lake. Superior X Pittsburg company that sends out the agreeable tidings.
 Monday evening ct a point within SG0 feet of the No. shaft and on the 1000 level. the miners opened up an extensive body of high grade ore, the entire breast of the drift showing rich mineral. Since that time considerable work has been done developing the eN- tent of the body, and from present indications it is presumed that the de posit will prove to be one of large di- mensons.
 In this property several drifts haze been run from the 1000 foot level, and some low grade ore had previously been shown. but the rich stuff now brought to light is not only high grade ere. but of such character as is usu- ally found in very large quantities. judging by results in the great Copper Queen mine. and the extensiveness of this deposit goes far to prove that the Warren district does contain heavy deposits of ore at points widely di- verging from the so-called central point at the Copper Queen. In fact. to judge by the extremely satisfactory results obtained by various of the companies during recent weeks it does net seem injudicious to assert that abundant ore may be met with at most any point in the limestone near the local contact.
 One of the most agreeable features Of the present circumstance is the fact that the point at which the ore body was located is in the direction of the Calumet & Bisbee company's ground, and in a direction opposite to the Copper Queen workings.
 It has often been suggested that the Lake Superior & Pittsburg has had much ore shown in it's levels, but had steadfastly omitted to allow any news regarding it to be given out for req sons of their own. but the ore seems now to have gotten beyond them-

Tonight the rain ceased, but coast storm is re- ported to be approac hing. and d threat ened hurricane renders it unsafe for vessels of any class to leave port. Along all the river front and in many
