Mr. Murphy has just completed the erection of a four room cottage in the Collins addi tion and may decide to occupy it before spring. Several times during the past week the hotels and lodging houses were unable to accommodate the large number of strangers who were in town. There is room here for another hotel as well as a de mand for several cottages. Invest ors would do well to build a few rent houses here.

Fuller, assistant superintendent of the railway mail service, was in Tucson this week to arrange for new bids for carrying the mail over star routes.

Dr. Bell and Dick Painter have on exhibition some very rich spe cimens of ore taken from a new find which was made by them in the vicinity of Sahauro.

Carnage of the Denver group has been in town this week ; purchasing lumber and supplies preparatory to starting develop- I ment work on this property. A road is being built and as soon as this is completed work will be resumed on the tunne:. which is now in about 100 feet. Dave Alphin and a fire-eating painter by the name o: Hooper gave a Delsarte .exhibition Wed nesday afternoon, but unfortunate ly for the painter, he forgot to blow fire in his excitement and Dave captured first money. The paint-* er later swore out a warrant charg ing Dave with highway robbery and assault. Judge Beyd threw the case out of court, it being evi dent that the painter was endeav oring to abscond with some of Dave’s hard-earned money, as well as leaving an unpaid board bill be hind. Every newspaper man, says .an exchange, has at one time or other in his business experience, met the man who “now takes more papers than he can read.” He was in town the other day. He wiped his nose on the awning, tried to blow out the electrie light at the hotel, failed to light his ciggr on it, paid 25 cents for an almanac, put a nickel in the slot at the postoffice and kicked because the mail did not appear; wanted to lick the cashier because he closed at three o’clock, and watched the clock sign in front of the jewelry store wait ing for it to strike, and still he takes more papers than he can read. Hon. M. J. Riordan of Flagstaff stopped here Tuesday on his return from the statehood convention and made us ,a most enjoyable visit. “Mike” is one of the best known and most popular men in Ariwma, and in company with his brother, T. M., and F. W. Sisson, operate at Flagstaff one of the largest lumber businesses in the southwest.

Advertise at Home. A man who will sink a 700 foot shaft in country rock, away from ledge matter, is just the kind of a person who could be expected to take his company’s legal advertis ing away from home and give to an outside publication, especially after promising it to the home pa per. In both cases the work is done in the wrong place and with correspondingly poor results. We mention this case merely to call the attention of the public to the fact tliat we are here for busi ness and think we merit the good will and support of the community and when we say support we do not mean to have you pat us on the back and send to Phoenix or Pres cott for your job printing and to have your legal advertising done* That kind of support does not make much of a showing when pay day comes.
