Dr. Ancil Martin, of Phoenix. The
price realized was in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50, 900.
George L. Bughee, auditor of the
Sonora railway, has resigned his
position, taking effect May 1st, and
the place has been filled by the pro-
motion of w. G. Sherlock, a gentle
man long in the service of the So
nora Railway company, who is well
known all along the line.
Before their campaign is over the
chamber of commerce expects to
raise between $1,000 and $4,000 to
spend in boosting Tucson during the
coming year. J. M. Ormsby, chair
man of the subscription committee,
Mas met with unusual success, and
through his energy nearly $500 has
already been secured.
Joe Bignon and wife, of Pearce,
were in Tombstone last week on
short visit. Mr.. Bignon reports that
Pearce is picking up and that it is
resuming its former activity. The
Commonwealth company is enlarging
its plant and adding daily a number
of men to the payroll. Mr.. Bignon
recently struck some rich ore in his
mines near Pearce and developments
are very hattering.- g.-Prospector.
The strike made by John Rainey in
the Last Resort mine in the Tomb
stone district promises to develop
into a valuable find that may mean
much to Tombstone. The Last
Resort is located near the Emerald
mine, is in a rich mineral section,
and MIR. Rainey, who isa pioneer of
this district and well posted on min
ing conditions hereabouts had un-
bounded faith in the possibilities of
his claim. He worked singlehanded
for several months and his persistent
toll was at last rewarded by uncov-
ing a ledge of rich ore, assay values
of which each go over $500 per ton.
The extent of the ore body is not yet
known but will give a decided i'm
petus to mining development in that !

If the Kissing of the Americans by
the Greeks, on account of the sue
cess of the American team in the |
Olympian games is true, as reported,
it showed the Greeks to be anything !
but true sportsmen. Out of the ten
events contested for on that particu-
lar day, the Americans were first in
five of them, surely a record to be |
proud of. In the 800-meter race, Jas. |
d. Lightbody, of the Chicago Uniyer-
sity, won. In the running long jump,
Meyer Prinztein of the Irish-Ameri-
can Club, New York, won. In the
400-meter race, Harry L. Hillman of
the New York Athletic Club, was
first. NJ. J. Sheridan of the Irish
American Club, won in throwing the
weight. There was hardly an event
in which an American did not finish
inside the money.
The Cole interests are preparing
for immediate development of their
properties in the Globe camp. They
have appointed J. J. Hinkley,
IOl llCllD VI llC SdluuICI ~ al lLODd
as superintendent to haYe
charge of the development work at
Globe. These properties in Globe
comprise a strip three miles long by
a mile in width, and Cole interests
say that the chances for encounter
ing ore in the Globe camp are more
favorable than were the chances for
encountering ore in the Bisbee camp
when the Cole people began their
operations. 1t is claimed that the
work of prospecting in the Globe
district is 80 per cent. cheaper than
in Bisbee, as in the latter camp it
was necessary to run drifts in all
direction looking for the bed of ore,
while in Globe there are well defined
fissures which make development
work more certain of results.-Globe

With good wagon road connect :
ing st. Johns with Gallup on the
north and Gila Valley towns on the
south, pretty soon tourists will be
passing through this part of the '
country all through the year. Along I
this road would be found some of c
the most picturesque scenery in the {
world. At points the fishing and {
hunting would be tirst-class. The |
climate could not be excelled. Ac-
could be had along the 1
line, at poiuts easily reached. Auto
mobile travel as well as horse
can be adapted according to v
preference. A short side trip to I
some interesting places, such as the S
Petrifed Forest, Mt. Escudilla, Mt. +
Badly, Jacobs Well, Salt Lakes,
could be taken while on this road, {
besides the thousand and one inter-
esting things, right along the line of
the road. It's worth looking into, as
a source of revenue to the people in y
this particular section.-St. Johns 5
