that operations are moving rapidly. 1t

Mr.. Randolpl's business here at this
time was merely for day or so Of
rest, but he is not the sort of man to
waste his time resting. One can do
that after he is dead. There was also
a report that his business was to look
after matters in the land office.
THE SALOME COUNTRY-County
Surveyor w H. Elliott of Yuma arriv-

He was accompanied by DR.. a. G.
Burns of Yuma. The property on
which he was engaged is at the end of
the Plomosa mountains about forty
miles the other side of SaIome but
when the railroad is built through it
Will be within two miles of the line
He brought back with him alluring
samples of ore taken from the Dutch
man mine which has been bonded to
Colorado parties. 1t has all the ear
marks of a great mine. In the opinion
of Mr.. Elliott the Arizona & Califor-
MIA road will open a marvelOusly ricl
country.
THINKS AN EYE is UPON HIM.
Dan Nicholson was locked UP in the
woman's cell of the county Jail last
night on the suspicion OF being insane.
He was arrested by the police the night
before last for begging on the streets.
I. but yesterday morning it became evil
I dent that he was mentally unbalanced.
He said that his impoverished condi-
ton necessitating his begging was due
to the fact that the odd Fellows had
it in for him. He said that wherever
he went the order advertised him in
the papers and cautioned all persons
to have nothing to Go with him. Now
and then he would succeed in getting
work but he would hardly get fairly
established before some member of the
order would hunt him out and have
him discharged. Nicholson is a young
man and seems to be sound enough on
; all other subjects. He will be given
an examination today.
