 MT. Gamble himself is a notable basso 1 singer, than whom there are few and perhaps none better. Miss Page, the second member of the compa ny, is a most accomplished violinist and the
 third member is MT. Sam Lamberson a pianist of unquestoned abil lity. The trio forms a small compan y, every member of which is an acknowledged
 artist, the company proceeding on the theory that the public would rather
 pay well to hear a program of rare
 merit by a few participants than to
 hear a larger company, even at less
 prices, whose members are showmen
 rather than musicians.
 SOME PROMISING cLArMS-aates
 M. Fowler returned a day or so ago
 from the Kelvin mining district in Pi-
 nal county. While there he located
 twenty copper mining claimsj which are
 extensions of the property owned by
 Woods, Sewers and Waddlington. They are apparently rich in copper and MT. Fowler thinks so much of them that
 while he was in the business he put his
 name upon an ample amount of ground for large operations He says ne believes the property will prove to be a valuable one. He has no hammer out for his neighbors, though, for he says he be- leVes his neighbors' property is even better than his but his is good enough

 A HOBO cATcHER-J. c. Betencue who is a special agent of the Southern Pacific company spent yesterday in Phoenix and returned last night to the southern part of the territory. His especial work is that of an officer and he is known as the hobo catcher For some time past or ever since the cold weather in the northern and eastern part of the United States has set ill the line of the s. r. has been over run with tramps. In several instances they have assaulted trainmen who refused them the right to ride free and at Fl Paso last week several cars were burn ed by the tramps. At all of the larger stations on the road in Arizona there are at the present time according to MT. Betencue gangs of from ten to for ty of these sort of individuals and they are at all times ready to steal or rob for a living. In his work of keeping them under surveillance he is being assisted by two of the members of the Ranger force. Phoenix he says is | marked up as a hard town to get into by the hobo fraternity but the terri | torial fair advertisements induces | many of them to make the trip here. l Every winter the railroad has been overrun by these tramps but this year 1 it appears that the number is larger ! than ever before.
