have had perilous careers. Out Of thirty

HASN'T LOST NERVE
Once Owned the Octave, but Is
Now Developing New Prop
critics on the Colorado

Thomas Pearson, an oldtimer in
Arizona, and we'll known here
abouts, is in from the Colorado
river country. He lives at Ehren-
burg, and gains his living by
mining and clerking in the local
store. Mr.. Pearson was once the
owner OF the Octave mine. now a
famous producer, but cancer took
hold on his left hand and he, had
to go to Prescott and have his arm
amputated. This took so much
money and caused him so much
loss of time that he was compelled
to abandon the property. 1t was
again located at the first of the
year after he let it go. But Mr..
Pearson is not like some people.
He never bewailed his fate nor
blamed any one. He simply goes
on making his living and has some
mining properties, of course, to
while away his time with, but he
does not contend that he has the
only mines.
Mr.. Pearson says that Ehrenburg
has two steamers a month. He is
very hopeful of the future of that
section of the country. He thinks
that the new railroad will cause a
good town to spring up ON the
banks of the Colorado. 1t is gen
erally believed at the various points
along the line, which hope to be
:beneftted by the new road, that
Mr.. Pearson's theory is about
right.
