A large force of men is employed around the depot. The old passenger and freight depot building is moving north to make room for new depot which dame rumor says will cost about 5O,OOO$. The old building is to be used for store house. Men, teams and giant powder are at work westerly cutting through the divide which lies between Granite and Miller creeks, 50 that Granite will form a junction with Miller at a point short distance east of the electric light works. This will give the railroad company for useful grounds all that tract through which Granite creek flows north of the depot and it's trackage. These grounds will be filled in and improved. This will do away with the flooding of the fiat section of north Prescott which fre- quently occurs when Granite creek gets shigh.-Prescott Courier.

Funny Country is Nevada.

"What beats me-" said the eastern CT who stood looking at the sloppy streets through the window of the Es- meraldo, lis the fact that you can't tell anything about a mans station in life out here in this country. While was eating breakfast this morning overheard my waiter directing bro- ker to buy 5000 shares of a certain high priced stock. A few minutes later newsboy sold me paper and learned later that the boy owned LOGO shares of Mohawk. It surely is fuE- ny country. Now, take that ragged looking fellow just passing, for in- stance. In the east you would take him for nobody, but would be willing to gamble big stakes that he is worth a fortune." "You are mistaken there," said the old-timer who was lounging by the stove. ''I happen to know him. He's a graduate of Yale and if he wanted to could show you pedigree as long as your arm. He's not worth a dollar. He's been here a week and makes living by saving wood at 6S a ."-Goldfield Chronicle.

There are some Moqui Indians from Arizona connected with a show in Lon- don, England, and they are reproduc- ing for the benefit of English audiences the we'll known Moqui snake dance. One of these Indians is named Willow Bird, and he has succeeded in getting a pretty young English woman with an income of 6,000S year infatuated with him, and they are to be married. Lon- don social circles are somewhat ex- cited over the affair and there is a general protest. The Indian may be an improvement as a husband on most of the titled foreigners American girls have purchased in the matrimonial market. He can be no worse. Then, his title as snake dancer is fully as honorable as any of those handed down by the bandit barons of the middle ages; and the Indians blood is sure to be purer, as the Moquis are virtuous race and have not become blood pois- oned by the long years of debauchery and profiigacy which have marked gen. eratiOns of the so-called nobility of the eastern hemisphere. The Indian is a better man than Count Bonem de Casteroil, or he is no man at all. Then, why should the English howl? It is stated that Mir. and Mrs. Willow Bird, after honeymoon Of two years in Europe, will return to Arizona. colt Courier. as

 Mormon farmers are establishing a new colony in the Sulphur Springs valley, which means that there will be thousands of acres in that rich re- zion brought under cultivation, to supply that mining section with the products of the soil at much less cost than now. Wherever the Mormons plant colonies the desert is made to give forth it's wealth resources in the soil. They are good farmers and know the value of an acre of land under proper cultivation; Cochise county will be fortunate in having more of these people to augment it's citizen ship, for the farmers of the United States are the bulwark of the republic.

J. Stanley Jones and N. H. Part ridge, of the Planet mining company, were in Kingman 6 few days ago on their way to Kansas City. The con- pany has been using diamond drill at the mines and while the undertaking in measure was successful ore bodies were found that will be exploited by shaft. The ground was found to be so porous and soft that no core could be taken out by the drill, the water pass ing away through the open ground so fast that it failed to form enough mud to clog the core in the tube. At one point fine ore is known to have been cut but it's extent could not be ascer- tained. The Planet mines are said to be showing up splendidly in the open- ings.
