WOODMEN'S CIRCLE-There will be a meeting of the Woodmen's circle tonight, a chief feature of which will be
 the initiation of a new member. GONE EAST-Mrs. Max Stein and daughter Edith left last night for Chi cago. MT. Stein will leave soon after the fourt of July and join them there when they will go together to New York for the purchase of next winters stock for their suit and cloak house
 STILL FORCING AHEAD-Another letter was received here on Saturday from the Caravan which at the time of
 writing had safely reached Beatty. Nev. There was still a remaining
 stretch of desert between them and
 the gold fields but there is every req
 son to believe the travellers will get there all right sometime.
 EXONERATED-H. C. Hitchcock was tried last week in Globe on the charge of embezzlement. MT. Hitch cock was formerly county treasurer and it was alleged after an eXamina- ton of his books that a large sum of money had been illegally diverted from the county treasury. MT. Hitchcock thereupon made good the amount of his alleged shortage and was then placed on trial on the criminal charge. The jury promptly returned a verdict of not guilty
 THE LAGUNA DAM-Sometime ago announcement was made of the bids submitted for the construction of the Laguna dam on the Colorado river above Yuma. It is now learned that the successful bidder was J. G. White & Co. and the contract has been of fs,s., thirty days in which to begin operations and ninety days in which to be in full operation. Advertisement has also been made for bids on the construction of twelve miles of Ievee along the river bank
 GOOD MINING PRoPERTY-Pre- parations are making for a resumption of work on the Aboriginal group of mines a- COchrane station on the P. & L. railroad ten miles this side of Kel- win. The property is owned by John Is. Cochrane, postmaster at Cochrane, A. L. Jones of this city and Frank Har- vey of Kelvin. The property consists of six full claims and is crossed by the railroad track, the Gila river being within a few yards of it also. Mir COchrane has lived in that vicinity a long time and is the original locator of the ground. The property is deveI- Oped but little, nevertheless sufficient work has been done to show the most promising indications. There is one tunnel in about 100 feet and another about 150 feet. Assays show the ore to carry all the way from two to forty per cent copper, several dollars in gold and in places considerable silver val ues. There are two large iron capped dikes between which most of the de- velopment work has been done One of the dikes, which is in all probabil- ity an ore body has a cropping of fif- teen feet and though it has not been cut at depth there is every reason to believe it is the indication of a large mine. MT. Jones, one of the partners, will leave in day or so for a visit of two or three months at his former home in Maine Snd if the opportunity pre- sents itself he may do a little mining business" while he is gone MT. Jones also has another group of claims across the river from the Cochrane group which he thinks is also worth spending a little money on and may prove to be as big as anybOdy's mine.
