 The Miners Union held meeting last night, at which they decided on Granite Dells as the place they would spend the glorious Fourth. Most of the Jerome people are going to Prescott on the 4th, and Jerome will likely be as quiet as a graveyard on that date.
 Hit by Hose Stream.
 An amusing incident occurred yes terday evening, while the hose team were training, in which Postmaster ! Campbell was the central figure. The 1 team was training for the wet test | race, and were making one of their des- | perate runs against time, when the signal was given to turn on the water | before the hose had been connected to the hydrant. The postmaster, who was in front of the hydrant, caught | the full force of the stream, which sent him over before the bank in faster time than he ever moved in his life. He established a record that has never been beaten, doing a hundred yards down the hill in four seconds. He was not hurt, however, and expects to be in good trim by the Fourth.

Lubin and Mannheimer have returned from that district, they being accompanied on their trip by Mir. Derrick, an ex- perienced mining man. There are four tunnels on the Holder group, and the expert is confident that by sinking a distance of 200 feet a rich body of ore would be opened up that would develop into a rich mine.
