The Boulder Fire.

A most terrible occurrence was
the fire and consequent explosion
of car OF dynamite at Boulder
early in the week. AS we go to
press it is reported in the papers
that the man who set the fire mas
been apprehended and has con-
fessed that he set the blaze that
destroyed thousands in property
and four lives. He was drunk and
conceived the mad idea that by
destroying railroad property he
could aid his brethren in the
strike. He was not one of those
identified with the strike, being a
brakeman of the Northwestern
His life is now probably forfeited
because he saw fit to get drunk
for it goes without saying that he
would never have committed the
crime had he been sober.

S. c. Hem lost a valuable mule
last Tuesday. The animal became
frightened while attached to a
cultivator and was so badly cut,
one foot hanging only by bit of
skin, that it was deemed necessary
to kill it. This makes two bad ac-
cidents which Mr. Hem has gone
against this season. His other
mule was so seriously injured by
being picketed with a chain, that
it has been useless for some time.
The span cost him S400 and the
loss OF one and the dangerous
crippling of the other are a great
injury to him.

MINING NEWS.


 the Graham brothers have had their untiring efforts crowned with a fabulou>ly rich strike in copper aud gold in their properties, con Sisting of d group of fourteen claims in the Santa Maria district, being the extension of the Carrigan mines, better known as the Clara Gold Mining company. This late strike is one of the richest that has been made in that district, and ehere Is no doubt that, as develop nsent progresses, one of the richest nsires in the Southwest will he opened up.
 Yuma Sun: Parties returning from Palo Verde last Sunday met au outfit of mining men enroute for the Mccoy mountains, thirty-fve miles west of Ehrenberg The outfit is prospecting in Il at section for the Guggenheims, of New York. Three wagons and eight mules were in the outfit. J. NJ. Hess, who Is mining in the Mccoy noun taIns, is reported to have made rich strike on his property. After the freight was pail on a ton of ore. which was shipped from Glamis to Fl Paso, Mir. Hess real ized $167 from the sale of the ore.
 Clifton Era: Many extraor- dinary rich samples of gold rock have recently been exhibited on the streets of Clifton, which came from the mines in the neighbor- hood of Morenci, and from claims being worked by the Gold Belt Development ard Reduction com pany and New York Arizona Gold and Copper company. That district Is being watched by many eagle eyes and many are of the opinion that the good rock will disappear, but values seem to increase all the time. There is no question about it, the rock speaks for itself.
 Clifton Era: F. Newberry, a mining expert who resides at Lon doa, and who has been all over the mining sections of the United States and the world, visited this district last week. He had heard many good stories about this dis frSct and came here to see what wac doing. He visited a number of the nlines and reduction works of the different companies, and went away convinced that the story of the Clifton Morenci district has not been half told. His visit will dc this district some good among foreign investors as Mir. Newberry spends the most of his time abroad.
 Clifton Era For the month of March the Shannon Copper Com pany has broken the record of th9 pLant by making more than half =s much Bessemer copper as the A- C. Company. The total was TAO to1ls. This good record was due to the fact that the company made a clean run, brought about by the addition of the new blower. Even better records would not be surprise as the Shannon is gradual ay coming to the front. Its plant is of the model type and all that is necessary is to get the ore to the snaelter.
