 VULTURE MINE PROMOTERS George E. Sanders. who is promoting the present operations in which the Vulture mine is principal factor, ar rived here yesterday, in company with Dr. s. J. Mattoon of New York, c. R. Osgood, of Los Angeles, and Charles H. Kinsley of Vulture. Dr. Mattoon is interested in the operations of the Vul- ture company and decided to come on and look at the property. The party spent a couple of days at the mine be- fore coming here and Dr. Mattoon was greatly impressed with what he saw there. becoming very enthusiastic over its possibilities when once again ac- lively worked. MT. Sanders says there is nothing of special importance to say concerning his present visit except that he came for the purpose of paying up the local indebtedness of the com pany. which has been done, and ar ranging for active work upon the property at once.
 BUG HOUSE-EVery house in this city that has an electric light at its front, has been a "bug house" for the last two or three days. In this coun- try there is a different kind of bug bidding for popularity each week in the year. This week it is a hardshelled, stiff backed, malodorous insect that is as active as a book agent and possess ing even fewer manners. It is as num- erous as chinch bugs in Kansas or sin ners in New York when the lid is off. It is as full of grease when stepped on as pound of soap and the flavor is far more repulsive. The insect prob ably has a dignified scientific name but there are no dignified scientists here who will associate with it hence it is referred to by the plain people,
 
 bug. There were billions of these in sects in evidence for two or three days past but like riches, they have wings and won't last long. Last night new kind of little pesky bug resembling a flea made it's appearance.
 TOMBSTONE ONSOLIDATED-I w. F. Staunton, superintendent of the Tombstone Consolidated and Imperial mines, was in the city yesterday com ing from Tombstone on the morning train and returning on the evening train to Imperial. Asked concerning the recent incidents reported from both places, MT. Staunton said that for some reason nearly everything that gains currency concerning those two enterprises is wrongly stated. To illus trate, the death of Alexander McDou- gall reported from Imperial, actually occurred in California Respecting the explosion in the Tombstone mines a few days ago there was a wild and un- warranted report circulated. The truth and the whole truth about it was that some of the over jealous employees a t work on the pump station of the zoo foot level, used a little too much pow der, with the result that a few of the pipes adjacent to the scene were brok- l en by the blasts. The net result was a very few days delay in the progress of operations, though there was no ma terial delay, damage or expense. Ev- erything is progressing nicely though | sinking has not been accomplished | quite as rapidly as was expected at | first, owing to the quantity of water | being greater than expected. But that | feature is now being overcome just | as fast as men, money and the genius | of pumpmakers can bring it about.
