S. C. Stukey reports having placed his new hoist in position on the Bodie mine, and has started three shifts at work on development of the property.

 A case of an intended kindness which has resulted disastrously hap pened today. Some person saw a white horse running at large and thought it was one of the horses which Nash Brunette drives to the delivery wagon of D. Levy X Co.,, and turned the horse into Mir. Levy's horse lot. It so happened that both of MT. Levy's horses were safe i'll the corral anu NutlA llltN AlSNoNtitb ilAt horse they began fighting it with the result that they kicked and injured it so badly it had to be killed. The owner of the animal is not known.
 Ed Jordan, the well known Verde rancher and fruit raiser, received a we'll digging outfit, Thursday, which he is now moving to his ranch. It is his intention to bore for water, and should indications be met with favor able to oil, which is thought likely, he will go deeper. There are three hundred feet of six-inch casing with the outfit. Should a good artesian we'll be found the work of putting down similar wells for others would more than justify the present outlay. The motive power for the present, at least, will be the horse.-Jerome Re porter.
