Here's the line of talk that transpired after complaint had been made that the Mexican was peddling the strong talk too luridly:
 Whats your name?" asked Hil- burn.

 Whats your business?'
 Mining man from Mexico. I'm one of the wealthist men in the world Got forty-fve real mines in Sonora-all good ones. Wouldn't take ten millions for any one of them.

 Where are you eating here in Douglas?"

 Where do you room?"
 "Oh. in a box car"
 Hilburn stood for the gold noun tain story but the idea of a man talk ing his meals at the Gadsden and sleeping in a box car was little too strong
 Come with me" he said. q know where you can give away one of those mines. That's what you want to do, isn't it2"

DESPERATE MEN ARRANGE PLAN
 ID BREAK JAIL
Nearly a Hundred Prisoners at Tombstone Formed a Plot for a General Jail Delivery Last Saturday

News of a very recent and desperate attempt of between eighty and ninety prisoners to escape from the county jail at Tombstone has become known here. Sheriff Jack White, who was told of the plot by one of the men who gave the others away. has at. tempted to keep the matter quiet.
 There are some very desperate men now confined in Tombstone. charged with every crime on the calendar up to murder The grand jury is to got busy this week. and the idea of prac- tically al of them was to get out of that jail before it was everlastingly too late. So tse thinkers Of the bad lot there put their heads together, and decided on a day last week. at 5 o'clock in the afternoon as the time when the risky attempt should be made. The idea was to put the jailer out of commission. and make a rush for the desert and freedom.
 Had they attempted to carry out this plan there would have been several of them beyond all mortal care by this time, as an amply sufficient number Of men. armed with rifles which they know how to shoot, were laying for them just outside. The prisoners eYi- dently grew suspicious that their plans were known and the hour pass ed without any unusual developments.
 Since the discovery of the plot. un- usual precautions are being taken to guard against a jail break. With near a hundred men. many of them desper- ate and willing to hazard their lives on a chance to escape from a long term in the Yuma prison, it takes no active imagination to see possibilities most disastrous should the slightest opportunity be given.
