-cs worth % cents. of spotted cat 10 cents,
and of a common. ccverv day cat but cents. As
most of the cats that have disap,e@ssred are NAL
tese, tie young rascals have evidently been az
ing lucrative business. The different firms
were reticent about how many cat hides they
had handled this year, but were free to admit
that the number not small. They didn't
know where the pelts came from, and never made
any inquiry. There was a small profit in the
hides to them, and they bought them without
asking any questions.
what do you do with the pelts9" asked the
reporter.
I'VE dress them and ship them East to the
manufacturers.
For what are they usedF
Most of them go into gloves, especially those
from Maltese cats. They make among the finest
gloves in the market, and we have quite de-
mand for such pelts. A great many pelts I'M
doubtedlv come back here made up, and it is
not surprising il some of our citizens are wear
ing gloves made out of their house cat that dis
appeared few weeks since. The pelts OF the
common cats are not of much for gloves.
and where the fur is of ordinary quality they
are tanned with it on, and the pelts are used for
trimmings on cloaks, fancy overcoats. and other
like purposes"
'How long has this demand for cat pelts ex-
istedl'
Only few years, and it is increasing all the
time, for the reason that the pelts of wild AMI
mails AZ hard to get Coon, mink and skunk
pelts, in fact, the pelts of all small wild animals
are becoming very scarce. and the manufac tur-
ers have been com PEELED to look to the domestic
animals for the material with which to supply
their trade"
Are dog pelts valuablep
only of certain species. The pelt of the
Spitz, the Newfoundland. and few other kinds
are very desirable, but they are nard to get, and
we handle but few"

A good story is told upon one of the G. A. F. who has returned from San Francisco, that will bear publisa' ion. It seems that when he got on the train at Benson, he met a young lady to whom he paid great deal of at tention on the trip to Frisco, and up- on parting from her on their arrivai, the young lady who lad fell violently in love with him, invited him to call upon her and her parents at their hotel. He promised faithfully to do so, aud in the course of a few days, he made the call, b-ing dressed in his grand army uniform. After greeting the young lady and being invited 10 enter the pallUr and bo seated, he noticed that sne VAS greatly agitatcd a,l,.. ..''.-..s-- -7 - vc-a- esll-nt uat t.:r" Ee inquired of -.s7 hat .hs roahla wss'  DreaLiag oal iav te4ss the youns .lIdy 6fesse5 -r ]ayeio .im and told h.m Jha heart wl or.Eg because had gone and enli-te3' Ho tried to explain. but she woaL1 not understand and dismissed him, Ii this unfortunate thing had not hap pened the chances are that instead of coming home batchelor, our brave Grand Army man would have been accompanied by bride.

or Arizona Miners.

NEiasaIles OF Arizona Miners.
 Prof. C. P. Williams, of San Fran cisco, formerly member of a college faculty, but now engaged in mining in the southwest talks in an interest ing way about Arizona mines.
 "The trouble with Arizona mines, he said, "has been that mistakes have been made in their management. Eastern capitalists would get hold of them and send out eastern engineers, unacquainted with peculiarities of the business i'll the west, to manage them. They would go to great ex- pense in putting ill costly machinery for crushing, etc, before they knew anything about the value of their prospective output. The consequence was that so much money was spent and so few dividends declared that the capitalists became disgusted and dropped the business. If their man agers had gone slow and taken out enough ore to insure work for their mills for sometime to come, and made sure of each step before taking an other, the result would in many in stances have been entirely different. There is, believe, large quantity of very valuable mining territory in the Territory, and it will eventually be developed and property worked, to the great remuneration of its owners. There are only two prominent mines in Arizona, the Silver King, and the Vulture, which are now making any amount of money. There are some smaller interests which may bo doing well, but they cannot cut large fig ure.-GlobeD Democrat.

CITY OF MEXICO August 15-The discussion in the Cutting case goes on in the press and among the lawyers whom it interests because of the i'm portant questions raised, but there is not the former heat in the discussion. The better class of people hope that the two governments will settle the matter either by a mutually friendly adjustment or thro ugh equally friend ly arbitration. An interesting ques- ton is propounded by learned lawyers here who ask if Cutting be guilty of libel on both sides of the river why cannot appellate court of the state Of Chihuahua vacate judgment for the crime on the Mexican and on the American side, thus releasing the case of its international character?
 The resignation of General Jackson U s. Minister, it is said to be positive and general regret is expressed by the resident Americans. The minister has won he warm approval of all classes bj h;s disnifed and prudent course.
