Charles W.Clark last week received
the initial payment upon d group OF
seven claims belonging to himself, j.
H. Thompson and G. D. Barclay. The
property lies parallel with and ad-
joining the Keystone and Live Oak
ground and shows good prospect of
making producer. The ore is a sui
phide, the concentrates assaying %
per cent copper, 2I.15 iron, 36.5S sui
phur and about u per cent silica.
The company is composed of New
York capitalists, with Mr.. Clark, and
it is their intention to install steam
electric power plant of about 15O-
horse power, distributing power by
wire to the various hoists, drills,
pumps and other machinery. It is
planned to erect a concentr ting mill

Engineers w. A. Parish, represent
ing the Buckeye farmers, and J. c..
Ulrich, representing the Wessex COM
pany, have returned to the city from
Buckeye. They are the members of
the appraising board that is to fix
the price the farmers shall pay the
Wessex Co. for the canal property,
unless they disagree, when they will
select third member. They have
finished their survey of the property
and will devote the next few days to
figuring and working up the data of
their notes. How long this will take
they can hardly guess at yet. They
say the Buckeye people are busy put
ting in the dam, or repairing it, the
force being under the direction of
Harry Hancock and John r. Norton.
They expect to have water in the
canal at an early date.-R publican.
A day or two ago a man was going
up and down the street with SUBJ
scription list asking assistance to
reach Ell Paso to undergo a surgical
operation. So often was he referred
ties that he at last called there. He
was promised assistance if his case
proved worthy, but he failed to keep
the appointment and left the city,
thirty-fve dollars to the good. The
doing of the community by this pro-
fessional brings to mind the young
woman who went around in the same
way four years ago and secured three
hundred dollars from the credulous
for the purpose of completing her
education. In every instance so far
those persons circulat-
ing subscription lists for their own
benefit have proved to be professional
beggars which have been run out of
other rcommunitles.-Republican.

boy of the reform school was issued
by Governor Kibbey. The beneficiary
is Henry J. Cadden. Il youth of fifteen

ty. The boy had fallen into bad hab-
it's at home and he was sent to a
friend of his fathers at Winslow in
the hope that he might be weaned
away from his bad associations. That
might have happened but for the
death of the man to whom he had
been sent. Not long after that he
an offense for which he
was sent to the industrial school.
The parole is issued on several condi-
tions. One of them is that his father
shall send him transportation to
Terra Haute. The other is that the
boy must refrain from gambling and
drinking until he is twenty-one. His
record at the school has not been a
very good one. Il permit for absence
was also issued to Edgar Banta, boy
