The deceased was man 60 years of age and for some time has been helping around a lodging house by which he made a living until recently, he lost this place, and having no way to supply his necessities, being poor, nearly blind and without friends, he concluded to end it all by severing the life thread. He had been around Charley Stoves place Sunday and some sympathizing friend gave him a half dollar and it was with this money probably that he purchased the deadly poison. It is said that at one time MT. King had considerable means, which he lest through the treachery of supposed friends. Several years ago, his eyes were badly injured in a mine explosion and he has since had a hard time to get along.

International boundary Monument Number 2l0, located about 20 miles from Yuma and ten miles west of the Colorado river, is again giving trouble. By agreement between Mexico and this country the distance between monuments is not to exceed 5000 meters d little less than five English miles l.. This necesitated the placing of monu- ment No. 2l0 on bed of shifting sand. Last year, according to the prevailing wind, the sand was cut from under and the monument tipped from the perpen- dicular, this year 1t was covered five feet deep and an effort will be made to lift it to the present surrounding sur face. As it weighs 5000 pounds, the task of raising it is not an easy one. As the sand whereabouts is estimated to be about 40 feet in depth, it has been decided to build very broad base and thus prevent the wind again undermi- ming it, but no scheme has been inven- ted that will prevent it being again CO., vered up.

It is reported here that the Fortuna Mine has caved in. We have received no particulars ex- cept that it was from the 200 foot level of the main shaft, and no lives were lost. The For tuna has been a producer of mil lions and may be a producer of millions more, but it is said this last misfortune will practically put it out of business, for a long time at least.

Thomas Fleming, the old shoemaker who has occupied tent on the east side of Main street as shoe shop and a home since December, 1896, died last Sunday from the effects of a cancer
 He was buried Cn Monday The only known surviving relative is son living in Australia. He was notified some weeks ago of his fathers approaching dissolution, but we believe no response has been received to the letter, which was written by Dr. Alp John. The de- ceased owned a good many shares in valuable mining property in Cochise county and had numerous chances to dispose of them at good figure, but hoping to get more always refused to do so, and held to them to the last. He had been hard-working, frugal man, and until about a year ago was appar- ently in splendid health. The deadly work of the cancer was quick and sure.
