ToHBsTOSE Is happy, and well that rich mining camp may be. When the water level was frat reached ID the Con tention and Grand Central mines all ths croakers commenced to predict that those famous bouanzas were exhausted, and that nothing would be found below the water level Even the companies themselves seemed to hesitate about making the necessary outlay to prospect the ledge to lower depths, and for some little time the outlook for Tombstone WAS indeed gloomy. Now, however, the prospecting has demonstrated the fact that there is large amount o' mineral left above, and that that below the water level is as rlch OF richer than the surface ores. These filings inspire confidence In the future 0f tLe camp, which has been and Is the great main- stay Of Arizons's mineral reputation. The Contention and Grand Central are putting in the necessary pumping ma chinery to take care of the water, and there Is lively future before the camp. Whereat all Arizona rejoices.

Following Directions Clos ~

A young actress who had been told to
study her part carefully and follow the
stage directions explicitly, had to do a
fall " in fainting fit for the first time
in her life. The stage direction read,
Helena falls prone across the body OF
Theodore" She practiced' it a hundred
times until she thought she had it perfect.
The actor pointed to a knotho!e in the
floor where she intended to tumble and
everything Was in readiness. AS the time
approached, however, she began to get
nervous and heartily wished she mad the
bolster instead of the actor to fall upon.
There was no help for it and she let her
self 90 according to tho authors direc:
tiOns exactly across Theodore, as she had
done with the bolster. The actor was in
abundant bodily condition, and when she
struck him he grunted SO loud and drew
up his short legs SO comically that the cur
tain went down amidst perfect roars and
storms of laughter from. the tickled audi
ence. The fat actor was boiling viii, rage
and the manager threatened her with dis
missal for spelling tho best scene in the
play by following directions too closely.
