The eXcursiOnists on the steamer City
of Augusta Sunday evening were treat
cd, as the steamer approached the city.
to an exhibition that was just q triGe
out of the ordinary. and which caused
something of a sensation. Among the
was q young man who was
said to have belonged on the east side
of the river and in coming over to take
the steamer in the morning had rowed
across the river and left his boat at
Britt's gully. AS the steamer came up
river he decided that he did not wish
to walk from the wharf back to where
his boat had been left. SO as the steam
err reached a point opposite the gully
he mounted the rail and made dive
overheard. Those who saw him said
that he remained under water long
enough to have gone to the bottom, but
at length he came to the surface and
although he had his clothes on ne
showed no disposition to hurry ashore
for he waited until he had taken tht
steamers waves before he finally
struck out for the land.

Cochise Merchants
 Making Kick

One of the mos. important ms':srs to merchants of Bisbee i: general and to the Merchant Protective associa- tion. vLLose freight bureau has been actively engaged in securing freight rate reductions wherever possible, is the hearing of the Bisbee complaint made several months ago against the South- ern Pacific which will be held before representative of the fnterstste Commerce Commission at Los Angeles September 26.
 The Miner adds that the Bisbee merchants will secure . verdic. against the road is the general belief here ss the Fl Pss) and Southwestern rail- road, agreed before the filing of the complaint against the s. P, that the freight rates of both roads were exces. sivs and stated that they would lower their rates in conformity sith those O! the s. P, if they could be induced to make reduction.
 The matter is one of the mos. inn portant ones which have come to pub. lie attention lately and great inter. est will without doubt be taken by local merchants in the turn affairs have taken and the outcome will be interesting in the extreme to all.

 Coming to Arizona

In all probability within the next few days Prof. J.

 It is claimed that thousands of Jap anese are massed along the Mexican border, waiting ar opportunity to cross the imaginary line, and or the purpose of investigating this state ment, Prof. Jenks will go to Ncgsles.
 It has been known for some time that there is a very serious leak some where along the. border, but it has been the opinion of the authorities in Washington that the leak was either in California or at Fl Paso.

Ancient Caves
 Found in Arizona

A find which may, upon further re-
 search, develop into q remarkably in
 teresting and valuable discovery, was
 made short time ago, by some Mexi- can lsborers n the enpl of the
 Southern Pacific company.
 Two or three miles south of Gils City. or Dome, as the railroad station IS now called, they stumbled upon the opening to caves, three in number and with visions of hidden treasures spurring them, they entered upon a tour 0: exploration.
 There were found many evidences Of all of the caves having been inhab- ited, though signs of them having been used az habitstions very recently were lacking. A number of Indian baskets, of very old and uncertain weave, were found. One of them, made cf the desert grsss known as gsllete and willow, hal evidently been used for storing mesquite beans, of which it would hold bushel or more Others had been put to the ordinary Indian use of mixing dough. A mum. Der of ollas, thin, hard and neatly 1 made, indicate that the Indians who inhabited the caves were probably from | the Papago country. where there are many who excel in pottery work curio found consisted of a wooden pipe, fashioned in the shape of s human leg and foot
