TAXING TIE CENSUS.

In connection with the recent censu taking Tn Cocbise county, the fOllOwiu little story occurs: A party of about dozen assembled in McClelsnd's saloO were discussing the discrepancy betwev the supposed population of Cochis county and the figures as shown by tn census marshal. While the conversa tloD was going on A stranger stepped Il and remarked. "Why in the deuce didn' you fellows get Johnny Behan tO talk the census? He Is the best man in th county" "What makes him better thH any other man?' "Well, boys" said tb stranger I'll tell you. Some years ag I was a resident of Yavapai county. A election was close at hand. and ol, Havapai was about to have a censu -aken. The census would determine th, county's representation in the legisla ture, and the necessity of getting a fui return wss,urgent. Johnny was appointt ( 70 do the work, and you bet Iavaps iidn't get left.

There are l,7j7 miners working in the

Little is being done with the mines at
Paradise at present.
The Lyon Mill and Mining Company,
Dayton, are receiving a great many lots
of rock for reduction from outside dis
tricts.
Last week, says the Austin Reveille,
the Manhattan mill reduced 1922 tons
of the assay value of S32, 04l.O6.
J. d. Patterson, the first Sheriff elected
in White Pine county, died at Eureka on

aged So years.
Belmont Courier: Good reports con-
tinue to come from Morey Mining Dis
trict. The ore encountered is of high
grade, assaying all the way from $500 to
500 per ton in silver. The mill is run
ming nicely and is working the ore up to
90 and 81 per cent, producing bullion
$40 fine. Morey will soon be a good
mining camp.

Of nine men were working on shift.
| Three men on one of the shifts were
called orphans, " as they were compelled
to do the work for the other six, without
a murmur. The six "pets, were geutls-
| men of leisure during the hours in which
the "orphans" were toiling with might
and MAN. There are some queer under
ground workings along the Comstock.
The Austin Reveille of December the
29th says: By the stage from Grantsville
last evening we learn further concerning
the shooting scrape at Grantsville Sun
day evening last. James Liston and
three Mexicans were shot, there being
two engagements. In the first Liston
shot a Mexican, after which a second
fight occurred, in which Liston was
wounded and two Mexicans, making four
who were more or less injured from pistol
balls The first Mexican wounded, We
now learn, received but slight injury,
being on the street. The other two
and Liston were confined to their rooms.
Liston lies in critical condition, the
wound being more serious than at first
supposed.
On the evening of December 3Oth, says
the Virginia Enterprise, about 6 O'Clock
the toll house in Six Mile Canyon was

down the bodies of Periander Pollock ane
wife, who kept the toll house were fount
among the ruins. An examination of thu
remains, show that the heads of boil

ment, and it is believed that both wer
murdered and then the house was burned
to conceal the crime. The old gentleman

The suspicion is that some one knew 9
the executing of the deed, and supposin

it. A searching investigation will b
made, and woe to the person on whor
the crime is fixed.

A TRAMP'S PHILOSOPHY.
philadelphia Times.l

In the hip pocket of an old vagrant
pulled in by the police the other night
was memorandum book full of his own
writing with pencil, and some of his
philosophy is good enough to be pre-
served. His first paragraph reads:
Drinking bad whisky because it is
offered free is like getting in the way of
bullets purchased by an enemy"
A second reads
Honesty is the best policy, but some
folks are satisfied with the second best.
1t is hard to be honest on an empty
stomach"
"a dry plank under rain-roof shed
is better than u feather bed in Jail, and
one isn't annoyed by the jailer bringing
in square breakfast.
A fourth says:
Pay as you 60 If you havn't any
thing to pay with don't go, If you are
forced to 30 record every Indebtedness
and let your heirs settle bills.
The fifth explains:
1--WE should have charity for all.
When the Winter winds blow cold and
drear we vags should pity the poor fel
lows in India who are having red -ho,
| weather."
A sixth is recorded:
"Politeness costs nothing, but it is moi
expected that you will wake man W
at midnight to ask permission to g
through his hen-house. 1t is NOR,
courteous to let him enjoy his needed
repose. "
The seventh and last was noted down
as follows:
"When you pick up an apple core d
not find fault because it is not the appl
itself, but be satisfied with the grade O
descent Do not be ashamed of your oc
cupation. We cannot all be lords, no
can we all be Migrants. As cannot b

LOOKING THROUGH WIRE.

The following is taken from the New
York "World:7 When the telephone
was first proposed many scotfed at the
idea of transmitting sound by means Of a
wire and battery. Later it was proposed
by European electrician to endeavor to
transmit scenes by the same way, and
this idea was met by even wider incred-
ualty. For the past three years expert
ments have been made to attain this end,
but with the exception of those of Mr..
Shelford Bidwell, a London engineer, they
have been unsuccessful At the recent
electrical exposition in Paris, Mr.. Bidwell
exhibited an ingenious instrument which
he calls dioscope. The apparatus con
ssts OF small objective lens fixed so as
to command the object or scene of which
an impression is to be transmitted. This
lens is connected by wire with small
white glass plate. Total darkness hav-
ing been obtained in the room furnished
with dioscope, it is claimed that per-
feet reproduction OF the image shown in
the lens will be produced ON the glass.
The distance is immaterial. So far, all
that has been accomplished with this in
strument has been to make visible several
of the letters Of the alphabet, STILL the
more enthusiastic claim that the time is
not far distant when the owner of tele-
phone supplemented by dioscope can
spend an evening at the opera in his
dressing gown and slippers, seated in his
easy chair, with one eye and one ear
closed.
Mr.. Edison was found at the Office of
the Edison Electric Light Company's at
No. 65 Fifth avenue, and in reply to the
question as to what he thought of the
dioscope, said: "The ready imagination
Of the French has tinctured most that
has appeared in the papers regarding Mr..
Bidwell's invention, but | must admit
that he attained whatever success he
claimed for his instrument. Still not
enough is promised to justify the wild
rumors that prevail in some quarters. In
turning sound into electricity you are
able to move matter, but to turn light
into electricity is very different thing
especially as it would be necessary tc
transmit all the hues of a picture or ;
scene of an opera Still it is not an un
reasonable plan nor one impossible of &C
complshment. But should it succeed
what good would it do? 1t has no com
mercial value, but is merely luxury
Until satisfied that it can do some good
am unwilling to tackle such thing, bu
Us soon as I am convinced that it can b.
useful | shall want nothing better"
