camp seems quiet today, caused by
temporary shutdown at the Ray Con-
solidated Copper company's mill for
improvements which will keep ali en-
ployees busy for several days. This
was thought necessary to handle the
heavy train-loads of ore now coming
night and day from the mines at Ray.
Other improvements are contemplated
in the near future as an outcome OF
the recent consulate IN between Gem
eral Manager Jacklin and the resident
manager and superintendent. All min

point seem to be quite alive and the

Blythe canal was not in a firm forma-
ton, and that the head of the canal
was liable to be destroyed by any high
water that might occur Such asser-
tion has no foundation in fact" said
Mr.. Hastings, "as the head Is cut
through a rocky point that juts out in
to the river and the canal is protected
from overflow by levees. Also, the
much-tallxed OF overflow of the estate
is greatly exaggerated. for il is only
the low land near the river that over
flows in high water, and the depres-
sions. which lead back in many in
stances, from sloughs: but 1t does no
damage as 1t Is still water" All the

that during the fall Of 1906 his horses
got onto the:tracks.of the defendant
by reason Of defective cattle guards
