 Tucson Citizen: Confident that they have oil claims of great value within 10 miles of Tucson, mum ber of Tucson people have located $40 acres of land and other claims are being taken up in the i'm mediate vicinity. The claims are in the Altar valley, just beyond the Tucson mountains and about ten miles from the city. The locators have brought to the city a large amount of oil. bearing shale and sandstone which is declared to be part of the formation upon which William Reid is working about 12 miles from Vail. The claims have been investigated by an oil prospector from California who has pronounced they are valuable and the locators propose to have other investigations made before proceeding with the sinking of wells.
 Parker Post: R. M. Teague, president of the Chuckawalla De- velopment company, spent Satur- day in Parker settling up the affairs of his company. While here he disbursed several thousand dollars in paying off the men em. ployed in making soundings of the Colorado river near Pyramid Canyon. MT. Teague ordered all work stopped for the present, and gave out that the company will move it's drilling machinery and boats to Bull Head Canyon, 40 miles above Needles. After drill ling approximately 260 feet in the river near Pyramid Canyon the company failed to encounter bed rock for it's proposed power dam. The original site five miles from here was abandoned a couple of months ago for similar reasons. MT. Teague believes, however, that suitable site for a power dam across the Colorado can be obtain ed near Bull Head canyon. It is still the intention of Mir. Teague to supply power for pumping purposes to the settlers of the Chuckawalla valley, and it is the hope of every body in this section of the country that the new site above Needles will prove satisfactory for the building of the big dam.

The Mand.r;n,al Robe.

The author of "Recollections of 6
 Society Clafrvoyant" tells of the case of lady who was haunted by reason of a garment she wore. It was a mandarin's robe from China, stated to be part of the loot from the sack of Picking. The owner. who lived in a flat in a London suburb, first began to be alarmed by "a smell of decom- position in her bedroom and heard "stealthy footsteps padding along the tiny passage in and. out of the sit ting room" She changed her house, but the obsession continued. The dreadful smell recurred, her cats died in great agony from some unknown cause, and uncanny footsteps were heard at night. According to the clairvoyants diagnosis, the robe had belonged to "a man who had worn it when he engaged in the mystic forms of ceremonial magic known to the Chinese. He had met with violent death, and certain malignant forces were still imprisoned in his robe, which, from the bloodstains on it, he must have been wearing when he was Hlled.' The curse was eventually dispelled by the robe being burned.

A Cow For a Life.

The Ober Gabelhorn is a peak no- torious for the dangerous cornices which decorate its upper ridges. Of many accidents reported in connection with it perhaps the most remarkable, says G. D. Abraham in Swiss Noun tain Climbs" was the adventure which befell an amateur and his young guide. In passing along the dangerous final cornice it suddenly gave way under the amateur, and he went flying through space to apparent destruction. The guide at the other end of the rope seemed in hopeless plight, but with astounding presence of mind he flung himself down the opposite side of the ridge, thus saving two lives. The rope cut deep into the snow above, but held firm. The young guides name was Ulrich Almer. His reward was a COW.

AUTOlST WHO RAN THROUGH
 CROWD FINED Court Sets $50 Penalty For Pas sing Street Gar From Which Passengers Were Alight-
 ing Brooklyn Manufacturer Pays Fine-Says He Was Afraid Car Following Would t Bump Him

Edward Dufft, Brooklyn manu- facturer, paid fine of $50 and costs in the city court this morning for running his automobile through crowd of passengers who were alight- ing from a trolley car at the corner of Fairfield avenue and Main street. One woman who refused to give her name, was pinched between the auto mobile and the street car and slightly hurt.
 The penalty imposed was severe one and the police hope that 1t will result in a careful. observation of this feature of the Connecticut law, par ticularly by motorists from out of the state. many of whom do not hesitate to pass by trolley cars full speed when passengers are getting on or off,
 Dufft said that he did not know he was violating the law and pleaded in extenuation that he was afraid he was going to be bumped by car behind. The affair occurred the day before yesterday.
 The court imposed fine of $50 and costs, which was paid.
