NEWS OF THE TERRITORY.

Walter GOSlin, Tor some time con-
nected with the E. A. Tovrea Co. OF
Bisbee, and just before his departure
for Nevada a part owner in the
.Everhardy market, has returned
from an extensive trip to Nevada.
While away Goslin visited the camps
of Goldfeld and Ely, as well as less
important mining centers. He re-
ports Nevada to be most prosper
GUS and rich state.-Review.
Captain Wheeler and force of
rangers we're present at the roping
and riding contest which was adver-
tised to take place at Don Luis and
as consequence there was no roping
as they saw to it that the territorial
statute was obeyed. The territorial
law passed by the last legislature
strictly prohibits the roping and
tying of cattle for exhibition pur
poses.
---Col. Charles F. Hunt, of Ell Paso,
has just bought for Col. w. C. Greene
$4,000 head of sheep from Gen. Luiz
Terrazas. They are to be delivered
on May 10th next. Col. Greene has
organized sheep company which
will embark in that business in Mex
leo. He put them on the lands of
the Sierra Madre Land & Lumber
company in chihuahua. Much of the
latter company's vast domain OF
about 2,52O,O00 acres of land in the
Sierra Madre region in Chihuahua is
considered a fine sheep range as it is
covered with luxurious grasses. An
other object in running sheep over
this range is to keep the grasses
down to prevent fires. The Hearst
estate is making success of sheep
raising on the Hacienda Babicora,
which adioins the Greene lands on
the eastward.-El Paso Herald.
1t develops that the man who was
shot and killed by Captain Harry
Wheeler, of the Arizona rangers, at
Benson about two months ago, during
the course of pistol duel, in which
Wheeler was badly wounded, was a
murderer and was much sought after
by the officers of Nevada. Sheriff
Gus Livingston has just been to Ben
son from Yuma investigating, and is
now convinced that Tracey's real
name was Richardson. The trip was
made by Livingston upon request of
J. L. Hickey, of Yuma, who is the
brother of the man who was assas-
sinated by Tracey, alias Richardson.
The killing occurred at Aqua Caliente
Nevada, about six months prior to
the tragedy, at Benson, when
Wheeler engaged in a fight that re-
rulted in Tracey's death. Democrat.
c. L. Tomlinson returned to Doug
las from Ell Paso. Mr.. TomlinsOn re-
turned last week from trip to the
Mogollon mining district in Grant
county, New Mexico, where he says
the mining activity is unusual and
that several companies are meeting |
with success. The Mogollon COM
pany is operating reduction works |
and is producing bullion and concen-
trates steadily, the concentrates be- |
ing shipped to Ell Paso. Last year
Mr.. Tomlinson superintendent the
work of doubling the capacity of the
Mogollon mill. In the Burro noun
tain district in the vicinity of SILVER
City, Mr.. Tomlinson stated that a |
great deal of development work was
going on and it is his opinion that
this district will become one of the
important copper districts of the
In this vicinity the
company has been de-
a copper property for nearly
two years. "Southern Arizona and |
New Mexico including northern So
nora, will prove to be the richest
copper country in the world during
the next five or ten years." declared
Mr.. Tomlinsou while conversing with
a party of local mining men and all
present agreed that this prediction
was the real "dope. American.
One OF the most important strikes
ever made in the Pyramid district
has just been opened up. r. A. Fitz,
of the Sutton company,
which owns the Last Chance, recently
work on this property.
The shaft of the Chance is sunk in
the country rock, and at various
levels drifts are run to the ore body.
When Mr.. Fitz took charge of the
property he found a drift run from
the 2O0-foot level, and sump about
twenty feet deep. He concluded to
sink this shaft another hundred feet
and run d new drift to the ledge. He
eveled up the bottom of the sump
and commenced sinking. After sink
ng sixteen inches he ran into body
IF ore, which was cutting across the
shaft at an angle. He has sunk fif-
teen feet farther, and his shaft is
full of the ore. He has one wall, but
not the other, and from present de-
the vein is at least seven
feet wide. 1t appears to be blind
cad, for there are no indications of
It on the surface. Where he first
struck the ore he found stringers of
grey copper, tetrahedrite. At the
bottom of the shaft, where the vein
is at least seven feet wide, the grey
