NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

two-story frame rooming house owned
by E. G. Riley, of Bisbee, cola psed
and is now a total loss. No one wa
hurt. For some time past the house
which stood between the railroad
track and just short distance from
the Junction mine, has been unoc
cupied, but was thought to be in fair
ly good repair, although it was con
structed some time ago. Being
located as it was in an exposed plain
the wind had clear sweep against
it and finally demolished it. The
fact that it was unoccupied caused
great relief, otherwise there would
undoubtedly have been a loss of life.

The William brothers, who were
among the pioneers of Arizona, are
now on their way to Yuma from Her
mosillo, Mexico. Upon their arrival
the brothers, who are accompanied
by Mr.. Dickerman, will make final
arrangements for a prospecting trip
into the northern part of the county,
where they will inspect the Bryson,
Cowell and Despair properties. They
will be accompanied on the trip by
Charles Meadows and w. p Buck,
and after their return from the
north they will travel through the
southern part of the territory,
finally going to the Gulf of Cali
fornia and making a trip to the
famous Tiburon islands. The outfit
for the trip, consisting of three
wagons and eight mules, was brought
to Yuma overland from the San
Joaquin valley in California, where
the William brothers own an i'm
mensely valuable stock ranch. The
brothers have recently sold the
Monte Cristo mine in Washington
and city franchises they held in
Seattle, and are millionaires.-

Operations are now on a larger
scale at the Copper Hill mine, and
ore shipments have been increased to
200 tons per day. OF this amount
130 tons are sulphides, which go to
the Old Dominion, and seventy tons
of silicious ore shipped to the Doug
las smelters. Only three cars of ore
haye been shipped from the Black
Hawk mine thus far. The sulphide
ore bodies in the Copper Hill look
well and considerable development
work is being carried on. Two new
boilers for the mine have been ship
ped from the east. At the Black
Hawk sinking is progressing rather
slowly at a depth of about $50 feet. |
The pumps are raining 275,O00 gal
Ions of water per minute. A Pres !
colt pump of 100000 gallons capacity
has been ordered. The Arizona Com
mercial railroad is hauling all the
company ores and supplies, as we'll |
as supplies for the Globe Conso,i-
dated, the Iron Cap and Superior and
Boston, taxing its present capacity.
Another and larger engine has been
Ordered.-Belt.
That wife beater has no place in
Bisbee was very strongly impressed
on George Woods. man of advanced
years, by Justice Burdick, who SEN
fenced that individual to serve a
term in the county Jail at Tombstone
for having abused his wife in a most
cruel manner, according to the story
told by witnesses. The testimony was
that Woods had been drinking
heavily and late in the evening
started up the trail to his home on
Temby Hill. It seems that he got
into an altercation with a miner on
the way, and was severely trounced
himself, all of which was not very
conducive to a very happy frame of
of mind on his part. When he ar
rived at his home his wife was pre-
pairing supper, and as something did
not suit him he began to growl and /
finally began to beat her most severe
ly. Neighbors who heard the {
woman's pleas for mercy stopped the
rumpus and complained to the jus !
tice. 1t developed that the woman I
is the bread winner of the family,
and Woods principal occupation 7
is sitting around saloons and drinking
upher hard-earned money. The case I
seemed absolutely plain, and the JUS
tice sentenced the man to serve a
term of 100 days in the county jail !

Gliding into the Copper Queen
smelter on the Douglas street rail-
way, one will notice the smooth, :
steady progress of the car after it
crosses the Nacozari railroad, and on !
investigation will observe that he is :
riding on new 60-pound steel, the old {
or lighter steel, apparently heavy
enough for Western street car line,
being relegated to the use of shove .
car tramways. This is another in +
novation, emphasizing the manner in i
which the activities of the big COM 5
pany run to everything substantial
and permanent. Now on the east
end of the main smelter building, one {
observes a clean 1O0-foot extension,
the entire width of the building, al \
ready in place, upon which the roof !
