During the month of December, 1004, the United VCrdo ft Pacific Railway carried 20,204,430 pounds of freight. Whilo this is not the largest monthly business over done by this company, it is abovo the average. It is stated that a carload of eggs came into .Prescott Saturday. Judg ing from the strength of the eggs ser ved at restaurants, that carload of eirgs should solve the question of power for mining plants for miles around. Courier.

Ortega, Lucero & Co. will begin shearing sheep at their camp on the Cave creek road near the Arizona canal, north of Phoenix, on Monday, January 30. They have employed sixty-lite shearers and are now ready to handle a largo business. A bar of gold worth $500 says the Courier wa- brought In from Kirkland a few days ago by II. H. Cloud and V. II. Gillard. Tho bar was the mill product of about 21 tons of ore frjm the Ilomesakc mine. Mr. Cloud went on to Los Angeles witli the bar of gold. A special commissioner of the De partment of Justice is in Nogales, placing a value on the sixty-foot, strip along the International lino which will be cleared away. A half dozen promi nent Nogales mei chants havti property aloug tho line which will be condemn ed. It is said to bo worth 100,000. Tucson Post. There has just been authorized from the olllco of tho surveyor general an extensive survoy iu tho Mohave valley for which advertisements is being made. It will consist of forty-two standard miles, twenty-live meanders, thirteen Indian reservations, forty township exteriors, 222 subdivisions, in all 342 miles. A report has reached hero from Ft Apache of the miraculous escape of Sergeant Johnson from drowning iu Mlack Itiver when tho pay escort was going down to Ulce station after the money box. It seems the escort was delayed soveral days on the account of tho high waters and when they did attempt to cross tho Sergt. was swept oil his horse and when rescued was unconscious. A few more escapades with that treacherous stream aud the Holbrook route may again bo tho scene of their travels. Holbrook Ar gus. Yesterday there passed through th'ls city a squad of eight soldiers from Fort Huachuca, who were on their way to Alcatraz Island, in San Francisco bay, to serve terms in tho military prison for various offenses. Two of them have eighteen months to put in, one two and a half years, and tho other five two years each. They . were In chargo of a sergeant, and tho whole bunch were tanked up so much that they got Into a light among them selves while waiting for the vst bound train. Tucson Star. At a meeting of the board of super visors of this county, held January 19, action was had dismissing the appeal by the board of supervisors to the su preme court from tho decision of tho, district court in tho matter of the re duction of the assessment of tho United Vcrdo Copper company. At the regu lar meeting of tho board of supervis ors, held yesterday, at which u full board was present, tho abovo men tioned action was rescinded, which leaves this matter in the same condi tion It was prior to the board's ac tion on the 10th. Prescott Courier. 1 Teodora Ellas, under sentence to be hung and reprieved until March 25th, has grown fat during his three years confinement in tho county jail. Ho is somewhat irrational on occasions and keeps his cell the greater part of tho time. The sheriff will undoubtedly consult the District Attorney in a short time to determine whether another examination of tho prisoner should bo held under the law to deter mine whether ho is insane. Unless tho sentence is commuted or a jury finds Ellas to be insane, the sentence will have to be carried out on March 2oJh. Ellas killed Win. Katzenstein, a police officer, during a fire on Meyer street, June 2Cth, 1902. Tucson Post. Shipments to the Douglas smelters from BIsbeo are now averaging about 2,500 tons dally. They will soon bo exceeding this figure by near a third. A year ago the tonnage was hardly two-thirds of what it is today. At Douglas the ore received is going into the smelters just about as fast as It comes to hand, though recently an en dcavor has been made to get a reserve supply established at both the smelt ers. Such a supply is highly deslni ble, particularly at those seasons of the year when storms aro to bo figured upon in gauging the regularity of transportation service between the mines and tho reduction works. He- view. Parties coming In from the Dudley vllle and Riverside country report greater damage to the farms along the Gila and lower San Pedro from the recent Hoods than was wrought by the great flood of 1891. The Cook, Sel lick, Scott and Cunningham farms, located on the east side of the San Pedro, near Dudley vllle, suffered great damage, aud it is reported that nearly every acre of Robert Cranuman's farm, located on tho south side of the Gila abovo Riverside, was washed away, also his dwelling house and stables. It is also stated that the old River side station was washed away, but as it was situated above the high water of '01 we think the report is errone ous. Florence Tribune. Last Saturday night Henry Lovin brought In from Gold Road one of the largest bars of bullion ever cast at tho mill. Its weicht was $40,t00 and was a clean-up from a ten-days' run of the tanks. Tho bar was one of the handsomest and cleanest eer brought to Kingman. The mill was shut down for a few days during the week whilo tho batteries were being changed from dry to wet crush, but tho new mill was started up Thursday. The object of tho new mill is to regrind and amalga mate beforo tho pulp goes to tho tanks. The ores now carry considerable coarse gold that cannot bo reduced to the desired fineness forcyaniding, and this is to be taken out and thereby in crease its cyaniding capacity. Miner.

D. C "l"ii;q&MM;Ti Because the liver is neclected people suffer 'with constipation, bilionsnps. headaches and fevers. Colds attack the lurics and contagious diseases take hold of tho system. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would do almost unknown. Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine is not a strong and drastic drug, but a mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible harm. The healthful action on the liver cures biliousness. It has an in vigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results. Timely treatment with Thed ford's Black-Draught removes the dangers which lurk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright's disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford's Black-Draught. F LAGSTAFF LODGE NO. 7. P. & A. M. Regular meeting, on ttrst Saturday of each month at E It's Hall.
