 Yuma Sentinel: Tuesday night the earth around the outside of the Arizona shaft of the siphon caved in to a considerable extent and at the same time sand and water arose under tremendous pressure from the bottom of the shaft and filled it to height of B feet. Eight men who were working at the bottom had a narrow escape, but the cage-lift being down, they were enabled to rapidly make for she mouth of the big hole. The shaft is now filled with quicksand to the depth stated, and until this is removed the actual conditions at the bottom cannot be known. It is certain however, that the work of the past several months has been destroyed.

 Phoenix Republican: MT. Geo. H. Gallagher, of the Gallagher Construction company, who stops at the Hotel Adams Gin the day time, but sleeps somewhere else at night), stood on the site of the lob by to be and spoke enthusiastically yesterday afternoon of the progress which is being made on the hotel. The electricians have finished their work and have followed the car penters so closely that by the time the new rock crusher reaches PhG- nix the first floor will be ready to pour. "A construction phrase which is inserted to demonstrate the versatility of the reporter, who heard it yesterday for the first time. It undoubtedly means that the concrete can be put in.) The basement walls, columns and first floor will use up 10000 cubic feet of concrete, for which the cement is already on the ground, and the workmen will soon have something more substantial and solid under foot than the wooden forms.
 Flagstaff Sun; The wolves are getting so thick out this way that the teamsters are obliged to carry guns on their wagons. Last week Jack Gilbert killed a large lobo wolf. The animal had followed Gilbert's team several times, in- stinCtively knowing that he carried no death.dealing weapon. The wolf at times would approach with in thirty feet of his wagon. Gilbert got himself rifle and prepared for action. On the day in question, MT. Wolf came trotting along, and when within a short distance of the wagon, Jacks gun parked out, and subsequent proceedings inter ested that particular lobo no more. He was splendid specimen of his species, being one of the largest that has ever been killed in this section. The deep snow in the mountains has driven these animals to the foothills and valleys and quite a number have been killed in this vicinity within the past two weeks. Other large game abounds in this section, and if that mighty nimrod, Colonel Roosevelt, when he comes to Arizona next month, will pay Anita visit, he can find hunting that will equal any he had on his African trip.
