Murphy as sured a number of our mine owners that he believed railroad would be built into the Bradshaws from Phoenix passing within distance of about five miles fro mthe Springs, the coming year, and this statement coming from MT.

cANAneA NEWS NOTES.

CANANEA, Dec. 1.-The members of the Cananea Club had a dance at their club rooms on Thanksgiving eve. The Mexican Orchestra furnished mu- sic. and a very enjoyable time was ex- perienced by all.
 ! E. N. Ewing, who has occupied his fathers ranch north of this city for the past year has removed with his family to Blackwell, Oklahoma. Mir. Ewing will conduct his own ranch at that place in the future.
 The Spanish speaking people of this city had one of their very enjoyable parties at the Sonora Hotel on Thanksgiving night. There was a se- lect attendance, and all report a hap py time.
 On Thanksgiving day Col. J. B. Breathitt. United States consul, un- furled the stars and stripes to the breeze over the consulate in honor of the day. It was a reminder of home and native land. We were "sure glad" to see it.
 Thanksgiving day was generally ob- served by all the Americans in the camp. The banks closed at eleven o'clock, and many of the other busi- ness places at noon. In the after noon many informal gatherings were held Of relatives and friends, and many turkeys were enjoyed.
 One of our local surveying parties went out several days ago to do . job some twenty-five miles from camp. One evening after returning to their camp they could not find their horses. Before they left they hobbfed them and supposed they would be all right and near the camp when they return ed. Upon careful examination they discovered that the straps had been cut They traced the animals about ten miles down the mountain trails and finally found them. It ie thought that they were taken by parties who were passing down the trail, and who rode them as long and as far as they dared to. If the boys had overtaken them while in possession of the ani- mals there would have been something doing that would have been a remind CT of old pioneer days.

Beling, superinten- dent of the state hospital of New Jersey and pr. B. W. Evans head physician of the latter institution. Following is the visit of counsel to the Tombs in answer whether they had told Thaw to pay no attention to the story regarding the alienists, as 1t was without foundation

HILL FORMING BIG
 RAILROAD SYSTEM
WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS THE BUR- LiNGToN AND GREAT NORTH ERIN WILL BE ONE SYSTEM, WITH HILL IN THE SADDLE.

Omaha, Neb., November 19.-The Bee today says:
 Within one week the equity which the Northern Pacific now holds In the Bur lington will pass into the hands of the Great Northern, and within fifteen days the Burlington and Great Northern will be merged into one vast system with James J. H11l in control. This state ment was made to a reporter for the Bee this morning by man close to the official family of the Hill roads, who has just returned from Chicago. where the intricate operations of gigantic transac- ton are now being perfected.
 So far as the lines of track of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington are concerned these three roads lack but one little link now of being, in fact one great system. When the short cut from Billings to Great Falls, Mont, is completed the uniiea- ton will be consummated. The western terminus of the Burlington is Billings where it meets the Northern Pacific. A line has been in process of construction for some time from Billings to Great Falls, where the Great Northern runs on it's way to the coast
 "This line will soon be finished and when it is the three great roads will be joined and merged, physically, into one vast system"
