Gangs of Mexicans have been arriv.
ing in Clifton for the past week or two
They are from Old Mexico, and are OF
the peon class. At least seventy-f1ve
have arrived in Clifton during the past
week. This is unusual, and besides,
there is plenty of work in Sonora at
good wages. 1t is the superstition of
many that these Mexicans are refugees
from the district inflicted with bubonic
plague, which is a most reasonable
superstition, as their appearance in
such numbers is most unusual. At
any rate they have the appearance of
being pretty tough hombres, and
should be compelled to move on. The
labor market is we'll supplied with
out their services, and they are dan
