FROM BOUsE.

Robert Drynan, the owner of some good mining ground in the vicinity of Bouse, is a recent arrival in the city. He says that about six miles of the grade is completed on the BOuse and Swansea road, and that the work is progressing very satis- factorily when is taken into eOnsid- erstion the intense heat prevailing, and that Colorado river Indians are doing the labor. He says that it is impossible to secure white help for this work, but the Indian, being ae- elimated to that region, performs good service. This is probably the only railroad grade in the country that can claim it was built by this class of people.

JOHNSON CASE IS
 ARGUED IN COURT
CFrom Sundays parIyl

In the case of s. c. Johnson against the Alto Gold Mining company, a demurrer was argued and taken m der advisement. The plaintiff ID this suit has been in charge of the com pany property, situated in Eugenia Guleh, for several months, claiming that the company owes him a sum running close to $2,5OO, principally for wages. In addition to that debt, the plaintiff ayers he has expended money for mine purposes, or assumed that debt. The attorney for the com pany endeavOred to have the case con tinued for the term in order to be come better acquainted with the mer- its of the controversy, having but recently been retained. This action was opposed by counsel for the plaint- if, who stated that the president of the Alto had acted in bad faith with the plaintiff in endeavoring to have a solution of the case go over to some future day.
 Judgment in favor of the plaintiff was ordered at the final hearing of this case. An order was also made ordering foreclosure of the deed and the order of sale.
 In the case of the Jeffry Manufac- turing company against the Crown King Mines company, stipulatiOns were filed.
 No afternoon session of court was held. Court will again be called on Monday morning at 9:30 o'clock.

- -N-A OuANNy
 In the probate court yesterday the final account and report of P. w. O Sullivan, administrator. with the will annexed, of the estate of the late Tllen C.. Mackin, was allowed, approved and settled. The property consists of an undivided one-half in terest in the Webfoot mining claim, patented, in the Hassayampa mining district, from which there has been no income. The administrator is charged with having paid out $50, and credited with the same amount as disbursed, this sum having been ad vaneed to him by the legatee under the will of the deceased. The prop erty was ordered distributed to Jas. Maekin, the surviving husband of the deceased, and the legatee and devisee under the will. An order was made discharging the administrator and closing up the estate.

ROUTE OF FENCE WILL
 NOT BE CHANGED
From Sundays Daily)

Constructing Quartermaster Will jams of Whipple Barracks, and Geo. P. Harrington, chairman of the board of supervisors, with Henry D. Ross, district attorney, yesterday had a consultation relative to the route or the fence that is to enclose the mili- tary post. This disposition of the question was taken at the instance of the representative of the war depart ment, in order that the matter might be clearly and definitely understood, so far as the purpose of the govern ment is to be considered. The entire question was placed before the civil authorities, and the result of the conference was to maintain the fence on lines of survey originally run, and along which the fence is now being built.
 A revocable license for permission to maintain a public highway on the road as it at present traverses this post, was arrived at, and through Lieutenant Williams it will go to the secretary of war. There is 10 doubt of its acceptance.
 Following its ratification the eoun- ty will establish a system of drive way gates at two points on the road at practically the same points of en- tering the reserve where the road now runs. These gates will open and close automatically. and without oc- easioning any trouble to traffic. They will be of the thirty-foot dimension.
 The building O. the fence along the route that has been definitely decided upon by the military, could have been remedied as long as two years ago, when the original survey was run, had the civil authorities of this county been cOgniZant of the in tentions of the military. At that time or thereafter a protest would undoubtedly have been needed and the route changed to a point that would have permitted of ground fur ther to tAe east to be set aside. As it is at the present time, the contract has been let for the construction of the fence, and the government will not change or modify the route in view of the conditions that cover this obligation. The fence is now under construction, and by the first of Sep tember 1t will be completed. This settles the question, and the matter will end where it has been decided upon.

 veloped in the property. The company is now engaged in tlts- placing of a duplicate set of puIqgs-
 on the eighth level to assist m The recovery of the pumps that were re- gently submerged on the tenth leveE through an unfortunate incident. Al together the management of the com panv feels greatly elated over pres 1Lt conditions and the future pros poets of the big property, notwith-- standing the many endorsements; that have had to he overcome at One. time and another It is also reported from Tombstone that the Barrett property will resume operations about the 20th of the month and that sup plies are now being hauled from Tombstone to the Barrett camp in the Dragons, six miles northwest of Gleeson.
 Frank Tolbert of Johnson camp, irs COehise county, is authority for the statement that the Arizona United Mines company is about to erect & 125-ton water jacket shelter at John son.
