We often wonder why it is so many young men can be seen loafing upon our streets until late hour at night. Many of them are from our best homes. The fathers of these young men, many of them at least, are num- bered among our best citizens. If their COW or their horse or even their favorite dog was away from home after dark they would be out on search, but their own children can roam the town all night with apparently no ef- fort being made to find them. The boy seems to be turned loose at ten- der age to wander at will into the paths of sin and vice and then we won- der where all our tramps and worthless specimens of humanity come from. It is regrettable fact that too many of them come from seed germinated in good homes and then sown in careless manner upon our streets and back alleys. We do not intimate that this evil exists to greater extent in this community than in other sister towns, but the evil seems universal and in- crease in magnitude as the years roll by.-Flagstaff Sun.

A Florence, Arizona, dispatch says: Harvey Elliott, who came up from the American Boy, stated that the devel- Opment shaft on the American Boy had reached depth of 120 feet and that crosscut at the bottom of this shaft shows the vein at that point to be IA feet wide with ore from wall to wall assaying 15 per cent in copper and carrying some gold and silver values. The company operating this property was organized last spring by w. V. Elliott, of Casa Grande, and he is superintendent at the mines. The company is composed of prominent St. Louis capitalists. The property is sit uated in Arizola mountain, about five miles from Casa Grande and about two miles from the main line of the South ern Pacific railroad and about 20 miles south of Florence. Development work on the claims was commenced few months since and the results seem to be more than meeting the expectations of the promoters.

 A rumor is in circulation in railroad circles to the effect that Kingman in the near future is to be made freight division point. At Needles the road bed is to be changed to cut out the heavy pull to the west out of that sta- tion, the line going off to the south west, connecting with the line of the Arizona & California, where a divis- ion will be established. From that point line will be run off to the north to connect up with the Barnwell branch. It is said that by building this piece of road the heavy grade will be entirely eliminated and will enable the company to make Kingman a di- vision point, and Ash Fork another division and thereby reducing operat- ing expenses quite largely. While it is possible that Kingman may not be made division point there is little doubt that the other changes will be made. Kingman is sure sooner or later to get the repair and machine shops of the company, as it is almost an impossibility to get reliable men to stay at Needles and do the work on engines and, engine work during the summer months.
