We would respectfully ask that room be provided where wit nesseS who are suhpoenaed by the grand jury may be in waiting, for at the present time they have to gather in the halls and upon the steps of the building. which not only makes it inconvenient for the assembling of the grand jury but also tends to confuse matters and make the meeting of the grand jury, under the present condi- tionS. anything but secure or private

 list. In the winter time, the toilets of said building are frozen and the children in the school have to use the outside toilets. We found the pipes all on top of the ground so that they freeze in the winter time. causing the toilets to overflow, so they cannot be used, and they are in very unsani- tary condition during that period.
 2nd. We find that the front door of the school house opens in and should open out. An outside stairway should be built making an easy exit for the children from the building in case of fire. As the building now is it would be impossible for the children to leave the building except by one route, and that is by an inside pair oi stairs. We would also recommend that iron ladders be placed upon the outside of the building for the purpose of the preservation of public property in ease of fire, and we would suggest that hand grenades be placed in eacl room of said building and that all pre-. cautionary measures should be taker to insure the safety of the ehildrer and the public at all times.
 The reason for the recommendation as to hand grenades and other precan. l tionary measures stated herein in case of fire is that the pressure of water on the hill is very low, and the re. moteness of the building from the main part of the town, and the un. usual way that the fire department has of getting quickly to the scene oi the fire, should one occur, and having only one hydrant within close proxim- ity to the building
 With these, our recommendations We ask that we may be discharged. All of which is respectfully submitted.

"Mrs. Garcia" a Fakir.

A quite prepossessing woman arrived in Yuma last Saturday., and created considerable of a sensation by stating that she was the wife of the Mexican outlaw, Garcia, who wounded Julio Martinez some months ago. It has since been discovered that the alleged Mrs. Garcia is an adventures, and not the wife of the bandit, but is simply taking that means of working sus- ceptible and ever gullible public. This woman had with her a baby which she claimed was only five days old, and it was the most remarka ble infant of that age on record. As soon as it got sight of one of the reporters here the kid reached out it's hands and wanted to go to him, and he isn't very fatherly looking either. The reporter, however, was charitable enough to look over this incident, and featured the bandits wife to beat the band.
 The woman got some money here, as well as transportation to Fl Paso.

 MT. Buffum was big government contractor and merchant at Prescott in the sos. He also served term as prison commissioner under Governor Trirle. Mr. Butfum left the territory and went to Los Angeles some ten years ago and up to the time of his last illness was clerk in the employ of the Los Angeles Santa Monica street car line, which is owned by Gen. Sherman, who forty years ago served Mir. Ruffum as chore boy. The whirligig of time plays some queer pranks. Butfum died poor, while sherman. his former chore boy, is rated a multi-milionaire.

Motor Cars for Railroad Traffic.

A recent trial on one of our largest railroads demonstrated that a motor car carrying forty-eight passengers can be run 700 miles in twelve hours with out stopping its engine, and which is better than any steam car record. It is believed by many that the day for motor cars for local and suburban traf- fic is now here. Do you know tn tt there is a better record of cures of stomach, liver and kidney ills back of HCstetter's Stomach Bitters than any other, and fair trial will demonstrate beyond all doubt that it always cures poor appetite, belching, bloating. dys- pepsia, indigestion, costiveness, sour risings, headache, cramps, diarrhoea, female ills or malaria. Start taking the Bitters today and see how quickly your various ailments will disappear. Your druggist will supply you with the genuine.

ALPHA LAUNDRY BURNED
Explosion Of Gas Generator Starts Fire Which Destroys Building, Machinery and
 Clothing.

Last Thursday shortly after the neon
 hour the Alpha Steam Laundry, one
 mile and half west of town, was com-
 pletely destroyed by fire which result
 ed from the explosion of the gas gener-
 ator in the drying room in the very
 center of the building. Mrs. Cora
 Baird, one of the prOprietors, was
 in an adjoining room and was about to answer telephone call when the ex-
 plosion took place and had narrow escape from being cremated. She found every exit barred by the flames and was compelled to rush through the fiery barrier or be burned alive. Fortunately she was not injured, though some of the hair was singed from her head.
 The laundry building was frame structure 2Ox40, and burned almost like paper. Within ten minutes noth- ing remained of it but ashes. The ex- plosion came without the slightest warning, and the flames spread so fast that not vestige of clothing or any thing could be saved.
 Mrs. Baird and her sister, Miss Ma mic Donaldson, owned the laundry and were just getting in shape to make some money. New and costly 'raehin- cry had just been installed the day of the fire.
 All they saved was the cluthes they were wearing, Their father. Captain Donaldson, sustained a loss--a very se- rious one, because the articles were sacred mementoes that can not'be re- placed or duplicated. They consisted of sword and revolver which he car ried through the civil war, and cap- tain's commission signed by Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who had also inscribed thereon a commenda- tion of the captain for bravery. These relics Captain Donaldson naturally prized very highly. Their loss is most regretable.
 There was ID insurance on either the building or its contents, which were valued at about s6000.
 Mrs. Baird and Miss Donaldson are showing a brave and comrlendable | spirit since their great loss and are planning to have another laundry in | operation at the earliest possible mo- ment. They are receiving substantial from the people Of Yuma which their pluck and determiu- ation deserve.

Yuma County Mines.

The Phoenix Republican of recent date prints Gn interview with Dick Wick Hall of Salome, who gave out some interesting information regard ing mining properties in North Yuma county, from which we quote as follows;
 "Mr. Hall says that Victor and Bell Crown, eight miles north of Salome, is down 90 feet on 5-foot ledge, with a pay streak ? to 3 feet wide. The Boone property, in Cunningham Pass is now shipping ont two car loads of ore a month, running 15 per cent copper and about BIO to SIP in gold. Woods Bros. of Victor, Colorado, have recently been in the Salome district locking over their property near I}ouse. The Obrieu mine will start about the first of July with forty stamps. The assay office at Salone has been opened for business with Edwin Pepper in charge aud it is having all the business that can be well handled at present. MT. Hall says that Crisp P. Lee of the Harqua Hala has gone to California to look after the fuel oil that the mine operators have been much in need of. Last winter there was a shortage and it cost the company about $500 more per car to get it from Kansas than it had. cost from California. They wish to avoid repetition of this shortage, if possible. w. G. Irish of Quartzsite also came down with Mir. Hall for few days in Phoenix. Mr. Irish and Wayne Wheel ing were the locaters of the Valensu- ella property at Quartzsite, and with Richard Darling and Alexander Stew art have been looking the work over It is operated by the Mammoth Gold Mining Company and the development work is 45 feet down on 5-foot ledge with pay streak 3 feet wide. It is a gold proposition and a New York man is backing the company. Mir. Irish is en route for Yuma on business connect ed with the property"

ROUSE MINING NEWS.

The town of Bouse is growing stead fly and it is predicted that real boom will be in order by the coming winter and building lots that were for sale cheap at the beginning are now stead- fly rising and will soon command fancy prices, if present indications are a criterion, this being the nearest town to the station at Parker that can be built on account of that place being on the Indian reservation.
