ger conductor on the Yaqui river
railroad, was arrested at NaCo last
week by a Mexican police officer for
putting d Mexican, who refused to
pay his fare, off the train. For
while there was much excitement over

A party OF railroad surveyors ar
rived in Douglas last week from Ell
Paso. They were supplied with sad
die horses and pack animals by Andy

for a months trip, they departed for
the south. AS is always the case with
railroad surveyors they were reticent
as to their destination or intentions.
1t was given out before their arrival
that they were going on a prospect
ing trip through northern Sonora.
This may or may not be true, but it
is known that they carried a survey
ing outfit with them.-American.
F. Quin Young, a widely known en-
gineer and assayer of Douglas, died
last week under mysterious Circum
stances in his office, though there is
no hint of suicide or murder. Young
fell to the floor a minute after con-
7ersing with his partner, Mr.. Mtlcher,
and after he had retired to Il back
room to do some work. He either in
hailed cyanide of potassium or in some
manner took it from glass or vessel.
Young had intended going to Can
dnGd anu lUG AILiDG ulSIIlCI Iudl
morning, but postponed the tri p be-
cause the train was late. He then
took up some work he had in his Office.
After dinner he came back and most
of the afternoon was engaged in a
back room. He came out front about
I o'clock and after a short conversa-
tion with Melcher lit his pipe and
returned to the rear room. In less
than a minute Melcher heard a heavy
fall. Upon investigating he found
Young dying on the floor. He lived
sciousness. One suppositiOn is that
he had inhaled the deadly poison and
another that he got some of it from
a glass or vessel in which the poison
had been used for some purpose.
Good reports continues to come
from the section west of Globe in
which the Miami and Warrior cop
per companies are operating. A
great ore body is being developed in
the Wd--ior comPany's Montgomery
mine, and ore shipments have been
doubled. The Miami copper COM
pany has resumed sinking the Red
Springs shaft and is still extending
the drifts and crosscuts on the 40
foot level and adding to the ore in
sight. The churn drills to be used to
prospect the Keystone property are
expected to arrive soon, and drilling
will then be promptly started. The
use of churn drills has become more
common in the west in recent years,
and results are fairly satisfactory
where fiat, or blanket, ledges are en-
countered, or the mineral is widely
disseminated as proven to be in the
Miami coInpany's ground.-Globe
