What will you seeF Not much twenty or thirty men, MeXicans, ln- dians and a few whites; as many horses and mules htched to big iron scrapefs moving care-essly back and forth with their loads of dirt and broken rock. What are they doing? Just pulling down a hill and filling up a hole in order to move the track Ia few feet and dispense with wooden bridge in the interests of economy and safety. It is hard work and no graft. A dollar and seventy five cents per day for labor and five dollars and a half for board-gOod board, too-unless you are an Indian and can camp alone and live with your wife on two dollars and half a week. It is all very commonplace on the surface, and yet it has both its pathetic and it's heroic elements. How would you like to follow those four horse scrapers ten hours a day, six days in the week, for a net re- mainder, after paying your board, of IS 1-3 cents an hour? Did you ever think of the courage required for such ordinary work? The drills have been clinking for hours as the holes were sinking in the granite and DOT phyry of that hillside. At twenty feet they strike an obstruction; it may be a diverting seams or a hard knob which will not break Some one must put down the dynamite, enlarge the bottom of the hole and set the drills going again. At thirty feet the drills come out. In goes couple dozen sticks of dynamite; a hundred and fifty or two or three hundred pounds of powder follow into the hole.

IRON SPRINGS.

Iron Springs, Aug. 22.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican, There is always "something do- ing" in Iron Springs. If there is not we get up and do something Generally speaking the ladies echo Tennyson's song of the Brook:
 For men may come and men may
 go,
 But we stay on forever"
 A few men stick by the camp, with occasional side trips to Prescott. The wives and mothers are to be counted as present most of the time, while the most of the husbands come and go as business and duty permit.
 Grand canyon has been a favorite outing place this season and quite a large number have taken the trip. Even the continuous rains have failed to depress the spirits of the young people and d round of social gaiety has been kept up all summer. The crowd has vibrated between Prescott and Iron Springs with the regularity of a pendulum. Saturday nights train brings in a large and familiar group of young men with suit cases, likewise some of the young ladies of Prescott. The depot platform is thronged with well dressed and bright eyed young folks who have taken a recess from the dance in order to welcome the recruits. The personnel of the visitors is subject to few changes and the names will be found carefully recorded in pre- vious letters. The train pulls in or slides out, the tum-tum of the piano and the song of the stranduvarions begins and the dance is resumed. It may not be d Grand Union, Saratoga hop, but it is a cheerful gymnas tic exercise that is going on and the participants appear to enjoy them selves. The side-seaters are inter ested or amused, as the case may be, and so the week ends, at 11:30 D. m. The returning stream to Pres colt becomes an irregular dribble of a few at a time, as they are able to tear themselves away or as stern duty snatches them from sweet as sociations, as it werei
 The influx of husbands and would bees" is always interesting and wei come Certainly the attraction which can pull a young man a mile high from Phoenix is not to be sneezed at Likewise the devotion which makes the trip from the valley to the mountain top for a few hours companionship should not miss it's reward It does look as though the preachers of Phoenix and Prescott have business of a pleasant kind awaiting them in the near future. It will hardly be necessary to repeat the familiar list of names of the Sunday visitors this time. Some new faces, however, have been seen during the week.
 Supt c. M. Scott, of the M. & P. and P. & E. railways, spent Sunday with MT. and Mrs. A. c. Mcqueen.

with him. One theory is that the Hor
Sing Tong in San Francisco passed the
word along to the affiliated society
here to do him up and that that is
why he was done up.
Another story makes the assault the
outgrowth of professional jealousy.
Wong Kah is another Chinese actor
who impersonates female characters.
He has been here since June. Accord
ing to Chinese custom the bills an
nouncing the theatrical performances
sometimes announce him as the lead
ing actor in the performance and some
times All Wah. The two, though
brought up as boys together, have been
for long time at enmity. It is now
said that, on the days on which Wong
Kah's name has appeared first on. the
bills and the dead wall posters. it has
been found smeared over. which ac-
cording to Chinese customs an ideas
indicates disapproval of the actor, and
is tip to the management of the
theater that the actor whose name is
thus smeared had better be withdrawn.
At the same time, to the actor Ewhose
name is thus smeared, it is a direct
insult. Wong Kah, it is said, has sus-
pected that All wah was responsible
for the smearing of his name, and the
theory is that for revenge he secured
the assaulting of All Wah.
That the assault was well planned
ried out. there is no doubt. The Illus
tration with this shows one of the iron
clubs with which the assault was com
mitted. The club is an iron bolt about
eighteen inches long with a sort of
handle made to grasp readily and
firmly. The length of the rod, which
is about half or three-quarters of
an inch in diameter. is covered with
paper pasted On. This does not deaden
the effect of the blow perhaps. but it
makes the club itself less conspicuous.
1t has been found out that some one
told the Chinese doorkeeper as early as
three o'clock on Thursday afternoon
that he thought an attempt would be
made at night to assault one of the
actors.
The police are still at work on the
matter and developments and more
arrests may be made at any time.
