ideas of the present generation about
bringing up babies.

 One of the old time mines Of the Walker district that IS attracting very much favorable comment at present, is the Bannic, on which de- vclopmcnt has been going ahead in a quiet manner for several weeks. A contract let for sinking shaft of 100 feet in depth, and which has reached 70 feet, exposes a pay streak of sixteen inches of gold, cop per and lead orc that indicates very high grade in value. in fact, it is quietly reported, the showing is gratifying to those interested.
 The point on the group where this work is being performed is virgin ground. and the vein being penetrated is one of the three that appears on the surface, and is dis tant about 200 feet from the original workings. Initial operations on the property were centered to drive a 4OO-foot tunnel on one of the veins and it is probable this will be con tinued to pick up the vein recently cut, and which gives every indica ton of forming union with the other two at some point yet to be determined.

Thomas has m view mandamus proceedings preventing the county boards of supervisors from declaring inc offices vacant.
 Unless maudamus proceedings arc brought Tucson is likely to have but one justice of the peace and one constable after inc first of the year.

The law specifics that the officers of each district shall be justice and a constable.
