SMALL STAMPEDE
STARTS At PIOCHE

A mild gold excitement was
created in Phoebe last week by an
Indian who reported the presence
of a rich gold ledge at a point
somewhere nea Coyote Springs.
and about 40 miles from this
point.
1t appears that the Indian had
exhibited some extremely rich
specimens while in Phoebe several
days ago and told a story which,
If true. may mean the opening of
another furnishing camp in this
county. Anyway, several Phoebe
ties slipped quietly out of town
and made their way to the new
FL Dorado, and it is expected that
within the next few days some of
the number who have gone hence
will return. and then the truth or
falsity of the Indians statement
will have become known. II they
should retrun with such sensa-
tionally rich rock IS the Indian
displayed it is certain that a
stampede will follow.
Men who have been in the
country around Coyote declare
that the region is a promising one,
and some of them express the
confidence that it will produce its
sensations. 1t is claimed that the
Indians have known of the exist
ence of the gold lodges for years.
but that they have kept the
knowledge to themselve until this
time.
1t is also said that two French
miners found the ledge from which
tile gold is said to have come but
this was several years ago and
they were killed by the Indian.

arranging to colonize the entire

E. P. Ellison president of the
Ellison Ranching company arrived
in town from Layton. Utah this

confirmation of the above stony

i understand that a Salt Lake
real estate man name Duncan Nc
Vichie, has been engaged for some
time past in promoting a railroad
from Winnemucca to the Quinn
river valley, and that he now
states he has the bonds practically
all disposed of. Whether or not
the Norman church or Southern
Pacific railway will be interested
in the venture, | am not in a
position to state.
"In regard to colonizing there
will be nothing done this year.
The Ellison Ranching company will
shortly begin experimenting for
artesi4n water and in addition will
construct reservoirs for the
conservation of waste spring
water. By another season we
expect to be in a position to supply
water for irrigation purposes to
the of land adjoining our
property but shall make no dis

YUMA STILL HOLDS
THE BANNER

You may talk about your heat
and brag about the number OF
deaths in your town, but there is
not a chance of any community
tearing away the pennant from
the one town that is firmly en-
trenched in ~calorics. Chicago
citizens may drop by scores,
Philadelphia may hire more ambu-
l%ances, Norfolk. Virginia. may
hide her head in modesty but. to
come right down to the meat of
the cocoanut. there is nothing to
compare with good old Yuma.
Since the days when the soldier
from Fort Yuma was transplanted
to regions where fires burn
~eternally and sent back for his
blankets the country has not Teen
troubled with rPcitals of heat from
that quarter of the globe. Never
theless Yuma is there with the
mercury d. 10 in the shade. &C
cording to official reports of
yesterdays weather.
Other cities may writhe in heat
and send out reports of what ap-
pears to them climacteric of
thermal applications, but the sun
kissed town of Yuma has them all
beat three ways from the deuce.
The only reason the nation has not
heard from Yuma is due to the
retiring disposition of that burg,
which is noted mainly for its un-
obrusiveness during the summer
solstice. Nevertheless Yuma has
its advantages and, it is pleasing
to note, that a syndicate of
Chicago capitalists prefer to cast
their lot down by the banks of
the unruly Colorado than to con-
tinue existence in their home town.
Every phase of Nature has its
compensation. and Yuma is no
exception to the rule Men with
money a it is the greatest cotton
country on the face Of the globe,
and they r going to back their
opinions with a preliminary invest
ment of several millions which they
expect will yield them profits at
the rate of $4,000. 900 a year. A
lot of the plain people could en-
dure the heat of Yuma il they
were only certain of such rewards.
In the meantime blankets are at
a premium in Goldfeld, and life
giving zephyrs fan the brows of
those who have to work for a
living. Just think of the mercury
stsndng at SO during the night
when tired azure seeks repose
and then say whether you would
not prefer to be a beggar in Gold
field rather than a millionaire in
