Bothin, who il the early days was engaged in the general merchandise business ir Tucson and Tombstone, was tht mission that took Watson Pickrell from Tempe to Omaha, Neb., where he died recently of typhoid fever contracted while in the east, says a Phoenix correspondent.
 With A. ] Peters, also of Tempe Pickrell held at the time of his death an option from Bothin on the Carmen Island salt beds in the Gulf of California, not far from Guaymas. To secure this option they paid Bothin $6 GOO, of which Pickrell furnished $4, ,000and Peters $2,000.
 An agreement, drawn up be. tween the parties concerned, called for the transfer of $500 acres of salt beds in Carmen Island, the purchase price being $350000, oi which $l00,000 was to be paid down by October 1, 1907, or the option forfeited.
 To get their proposition in shape to put it before Eastern capitalists, Pickrell and Peters organized the Carmen Salt company for $1,000,, 900, fixing the value of each share at $1OO

 That the two Tempe men became interested in the Carmen Island salt proposition was due to trip they took to Guaymas several months ago to look after one of the warehouses in which Peters is in- terested.
 While seated in small restaur- ant they saw on the opposite side of the street sign, which bore the name of Bothin, also setting forth that he was in the salt business. They were curious and crossed the street, entering a dingy office, in which they found Bothin.
 Bothin explained that he had ore of the biggest propositions in the world. They heard him through, and, after asking several questions, which brought out further infor- nation, they left the place, but not with any intention of giving the matter further attention.
 Returning to Tempe, Peters and Pickrell frequently discussed Car men Island, until they became so interested with the possibilities that they returned quietly to Giuay- mas and secured from Bothin the option.
 Bothin let them examine all the books of the concern to prove his assertion that the profits of the business amounted to $150.000 in one year, the net revenue coming almost entirely from the sale of salt to the fishing industry along the coast of California, Oregon and Washington.

Chihuahua, Mex, Sept. 16.-No- gales, Sonora, or practically the two N3gales, one on each side of the international boundary, will be the terminal of the line of the Cananea, Rio Yaqui and Pacific railroad from Cananea, Sonora, in- stead of Imuris in that state. Thus 1t will be at Nogales the railroad named will join the Sonora railroad which runs from Nogales to Guay- mas on the south. It might be said, parenthetically, in this con- nection, that when Col W. c.

 It appears that these Mexican railroads along the border are be- ing especially encouraged by the federal government, as the choice of Nogales, Sonora, as the terminal of the C., R. Y. and P, was made by President Diaz and Captain L. W. Mix, the latter being the rep If that rnad

Senator Carter is a member of the
commission to investigate the business
methods of the department and to in.
ject up-to.date business methods into
its present faulty system.
"The charges have been made and
while We know that there sare serious
faults in the postoffice system of bust
ness, we have not been able yet to
substantiate any charge of fraud" he
said.
The commission, which has been at
work some time Is expected to evolve
an entirely new system for the trans.
action of the enormous business of the
department and to prepare a system
of checks by which it will be enabled
to check one account against another
and trace down shortages and frauds.

Big Silver Discovery.

SHERIDAN, Wyo., April 2. - The
discovery of a big vein of wire silver
in the mountains south of this city by
Dad Barrow, an old prospector, who
lived on the Big Horn range for Is
years, has caused excitement in mining
circles and promises to be the cause
of the formation of another camp in
northern Wyoming this season. 1t
also leaked out here today that for
several years Barrow had been taking
out quantities of red copper and free
gold, smelling it in a forage and
sending it to Denver and Pueblo to be
refined. 1t is known Barrow came
here without q cent, but within the
last few years he has accumulated q
small fortune. It is believed that he
has quietly taken it from his claims in
the Big Horn range, and many people
have left for the mountains to stake
out claims and get in early on the new
camp.
1t is claimed by Barrow that this
lead may be traced the entire length
OF the Big Horn range, and that the
prospects indicate the same mineral
deposits as those at Copper mountain.
Its inaccessible location has thus far
prevented exploration and allowed
Barrow to quietly dig out a fortune
without anyone becoming aware of it.

that in these two ports, N~icaraguan
gunboats will be kept off by the
Hotchkiss guns, while at.Trujillo, de-
spite the fact that it is a Honduran
port, the Honduran government boat
will not be allowed to lombard in any
attempt to recapture the port from the
Nicaraguans.
Both countries are treated impair

powers granted Commander Fullam

which landed these parties, are be.

that the Americans would not inter.

countrymen.
Congressman Olcutt declared the
project highly feasible, especially
with such energy as now is being dis.
played. Congressman Moore said the
only thing necessary to complete the
work was to stick at it, saying the
question is one of persistent effort
rather than engineering.
Senator Curtis believes the work
may cost less than the estimated $780,.

done by private contract.
All of the party are pleased with the
work. They commend Engineer
Stephens and Colonel Gorgas. They
were told the work would be completed
in eight years.
Colonel Giethals said, after looking
over the job, that the organization ar
ranged by Engineer Stephens was per

Warning to Stockmen.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The forest
service issued a bulletin today calling
attention to the recent decision of
United States Judge Hunt of Montana,
in which he declared that national
forests need not be fenced to exclude
stock, no matter what the state law on
fencing may be. The forest service
therefore declares it is illegal not only
to drive stock on forest reserves, but
even to permit them to drift there I'm.
less the owner possesses a permit. 1t
is claimed by the forest service that
this decision will greatly increase the
receipts of the service, as stock owners
living near reserves will be obliged to
