 CAME IN FROM THE MOUNTAINS Probate Judge Phillips and family returned yesterday from a months outing in the mountains. Leaving Phoenix. they first went to Roosevelt. After a brief stay there they went up into the Sierra Anchas. near the gov ernment sawmill, where they found most delightful camping grounds in the shade of the pines beside a roaring mountain brook of Impid water. They did no fishing nor hunting. They put in the time getting the most delightful rest imaginable. The place was diff cult of access. but it was worth all the trouble of getting there. The whole Phillips family is much better for the outing.
 cHlNAMEN FOR cANANEA-A man who recently arrived from Sonora states that the Greene Consolidated company of Cananea recently shipped 300 Chinamen from Guaymas to Can anea, where they will be put to work in the mines They were brought up over the railroad to a station below Nogales. and were taken across the country from that place to Cananea. It is understood that the Greene com pany is sorely pressed for miners as many of the Mexicans heretofore em- ployed there have left for other sec tions. Chinamen as miners have not heretofore been a pronounced success. Tn the early days of this district they were given a trial. but the company finally found it necessary to dispense with their services. The experiment at Cananea will be watched with interest by all mining men interested in Mex leo. where labor is very scarce at the present time.

 channel which is being dug is eighteen
 feet deep and mile wide, and rapid headway will now be made. The gov ernment is assisting the railroad in its
 work and between 300 and 400 men formerly employed on government
