vate contractor could do the work for.
The Water Power company wishes
the rock to ballast it's tracks, which

petition for a dissolution of the
Bobtail Mines company was filed in
the probate court yesterday. a petition
with the same object in view was filed
some time ago but it was withdrawn in
order that other matter might be in

the operation of mining property in

principal place of business. The oper-
alton was not successful. An exhibit in

dollars were spent and an indebtedness
of more than $4,000 was incurred. All
this made it possible 10 take out bull
lion to the amount of less than $500.
At a meeting of the stockholders Of

the mining business. The company had
received a proposition from the ella
Pinal Mines company under which tho
latter should. take the property and
pay all the debts. The proposition also
involved the turning over a certain
part of the stock of the new company

No objection OF any kind has been rails

But Mr. Wilson said it would be diff

that has been so strong and SO persist

be introduced and referred to it, would
undoubtedly make an unfavorable re-

enviable record as a self-supporting
ofiice-a showing to make glad the

reveals tine fact that the amount de-

Recorder Hare for fees in his office
reaches the total of $11,522.35. After
deducting the expenses of the office
including salary, office help, station
cry. books, etc. for the same period
amounting to $5,25l.97. a net balance
for the county remains of S6270. SO.
Thus it can be seen that the recorders

STOLEN BY PIECEnEAL
dow George Felton's Cowboy Outfit
Disappeared.

Francisco Morales went to Jail yes
terday for sixty days for trying to steal
a cowboy outfit piecemeaL George Fell
ton left his horse hitched in front of
the Hoffman. When he returned he
found a bride worth about 500 gone. He
thought that some of the boys in the
Hoffman had taken it for a joke. The
thing that made him think so was that
the saddle and the RATA, valuable
rope worth from SIS to $40, had not
been disturbed.
He went into the saloon to inquire
about it but nobody there knew any
thing about the missing headgear.
When FELTON, had convinced himself
that it was not a joke that had been
played upon him, he went to the door
By that time the RATA was gone: his
outfit was disappearing almost under
his nose. He caught a glimpse of a
man hurrying up Broadway with a ri
alta in his hand. FELTON, hurried after
him, overlook him and brought him
back.
He was Morales. He was arrested
and taken before Justice burnett. Mo-
Tates denied the taking of the bride
and he said that he was only an agent
tn the theft of the RATA. The bride
ne said, had been taken by an Amer
lean. who sent him back after the ri
alta. He did not know who the Amer
lean vas. he had never seen him be-
foEe and did not know what had be-
CONS Of him. He said, also that he
cid not know what he intended to do
with the RATA
He was given sixty days TO think
over. all these things. FELTON, believes
that If he had not appeared on the
scene just when he did the Mexican
would have come back and taken the
saddle and the horse would have been
left stark naked.
