Col. W. c. Greene expects to have

W. Murray, of Wickenburg, was a
visitor in Tucson last week. Murray
SAYS that there is more work going

than ever before. He says that the

property, which is known as the
King Solomon mines. Other mines
in that vicinity are also working
large forces of men. The Interior
Mining company has received a car

The ruAor is growing in strength
and seems to have substantial founda-
tion that the Southern Pacific Com
pany will build line from Yuma to
Parker, where the Arizona & Califor-
MIA Ia Santa Fe branch) will cross the
Colorado river. This is. of course,
very important to Yuma, as the line
would traverse 4 rich mineral dis
and would later doubtless be
extended on to Kingman on the
Santa Fe main line. The develop
ments of the rich mining district
thus opened would result in inestima-

An agreement between the saloon
keepers of Lowell, in the form of d
regular contract with severe penal
ties attached for any infraction, to
keep women out of their places of
business and not serve them any
drinks, either in the saloons or out
side, is receiving due attention and
signatures. The people of Lowell do
not like the idea of being swallowed
up by Bisbee, but when it comes to
matter of decency and a proper re-
spect for law and order, the respeCta-
BILE element is determined that the
saloon element shall not run their
town.-American.

aid in relieving the suffering.
Three Solomonville boys escaped
from the Territorial Industrial
School at Benson last week Their
names are given as Caster, Gonzales
and Carrona. Carrona is a past mas
ter in the art of escape, as this is the
fifth time he has "vamosed" the
school. The boys were among the
largest in the institution, each being
about 16 years old. Discipline is not
so strict in the school as the peniten-
tiary, for the excellent reason that
the object of the school is to reform

there are frequent chances for
escape, but it is seldom that the
boys try to escape. 1t was known in
less than five minutes after the lads
got away that they were gone, but
the guards were unable to find them
in Benson. There was a freight
train leaving Benson for Tucson
about the time the boys escaped
and it is supposed they went west on
it.

Orc Maximo is now in better condi-
tion than it has ever been and told of
a marvelously rich strike in a tunnel
which occurred the day before he
left the camp. He had small piece
of the rock in his pocket and de-
clared that it would assay more than
$4,000 to the ton. The extent of the
ore body had not been determined
when he left, but the encounter of
this high grade ore will mean much
to the future of the property. At
the Orc Maxine there are now 200
men employed and at the Picacho
mine which is under practically the
same ownership there are sixty men
on the pay roll. Mr.. Davis reported
that there was no uneasiness at his
