EDS. ENTERPRISE The man who was knocked off the bank at Pinal re- gently, and who died from injuries re- ceiyed, was Ben Jernegan, lately of Shakespeare, New Mexico He was well known to the undersigned and just few days before his death he passed through Florence en route to De Noon with young man named Sherman, hunting work. He came in by way of Quijotoa and remained day or so in Florence. His great fault was excessive drink. New Mexico papers will please copy. W. H. GRIFFIN.
 The above refers to the party kill ed in Pinal by being pushed down a steep embankment on the 9th of this month. He was picked up in an un- conscious condition and placed in a a cabin near by. During the follow ing night he was removed-being him self helplessly paralyzed-to the bed of the creek, where he was found and cared for until he died. An autopsy showed fracture of the skull on the right side of the head, from the ef- fleets of which death was undoubtedly produced. MT. Griffin states that the deceased was formerly school teach CT and belonged to a good family. Be ing crossed in love about twelve years ago, he took to drink and was q slave to the cup.-EDs.

Capturing Dukes.

The American woman of the period has found out new amusement, which, for lack of a better name, might be called duke chasing;" and it may be proper to remark, in passing, that our countrywomen get there just the same.
 When Mrs. Lillian Hammersley be- slowed her fair hand and ample for tune on the Duke of Marlborough, she exemplifed Sam Sticks favorite aph- prism, that "one thing can be done as well as another" and her example arpears to have aroused the ambition of other American women to wear the strawberry leaves and to be saluted as "Your Grace"
 The latest rumor is that-the Duke | of Newcastle has surrendered at dlscre: ton of Miss Zeraga of New York, and | that the lady in question will be ad- ded to the rank of the English aristoc- racy at no very distant day. Miss Ze- raga and her mother went to England last June, and the report of the en- gagement comes from the other side. It is thus far only rumor, but it seems to be well founded.
 Whether Miss Zeraga will have done well or i'll remains to be seen. There is undoubtedly sort of romantic fas- cination about title, especially the title of Duchess; but the value of the title depends very much upon the character and disposition of the hus- band of the Duchess. Women cannot wear their titles all the time, and there must be times when a sensitive, gen. tie, confding woman wants some thing besides the mere honor and dis tinction of title. Every true woman demands of her husbands esteem, res pect, admiration and affection, ant that whether he be a duke or plowboy and without these her life is failure no matter if she be called by the no blest title which the aristocracy o England can boast.-S. F. Chronicle.

w WeStern Addition,
Alaska Gold Fields.

A special from Ottawa, Ont, says matter which may strongly tend to strengthen the already strained rela- tiohs between the Dominion and the United States, has presented itself in connection with the limits of jurisdic- ton at points adjacent to the bound ary line between Alaska and British Columbia. The result of a recent investigation was reported to the government here. The valuable geld fields, it is claimed, which have been discovered and which are now being worked on the Yukon river, are in British and not in United States terri tory, as has all along been suppos- ed. These gold fields, it is represent ed, will be of great value, and as Am erican officers in Alaska dispute the claim that the deposits are in British territory, conflict between the min CTS, who believe they are working on United States territory, and the Brit ish authorities, who assert their juris diction, is feared. The Provincial, Government of British Columbia IS now issuing mining permits, and 1T the absence of any definite interna tional boundary line, it cannot but follow that in many instances the, are granted without a knowledge as tC whether they are in British or United States territory. It is evident the time has arrived when serious inter national complications may be avert ed only by definite location of tn
 boundary between Alaska and Britisl | Columbia.

A Railroad Woman.


 Mrs. E. H. G. Dow of Dover, N. H., was elected president of the Dover Horse Railroad in January last, and has actively employed herself since that time with the duties of her posi- ton. The road was in debt when she took charge of it, but under her man. agement the old debts have been paid, and now the road has declared 2O- percent dividend on the basis of what a syndicate offered for the stock about a year ago. Before Mrs. President Dow took charge of the road stock was being sold as low as $5 and $7 a share, but lately $100 share has been refused.
 This lady has violated all the we'll known precedents of railroad manage ment. Instead of wrecking the road and making private fortune out of the f1otsam and ietsam, as is usually the case, she has actually given her time and labor for the benefit of the stockholders. Women have no idea of business, especially of railroad bus mess. The fact that Mrs. Dow has put the stock of that road up from 50 to $1OO in so short time, is con- elusive evidence that she doesn't know the first principles of railrOading- that is, as the art is practiced by Jay Gould and the other experts. We actually do not believe that the lady knows what watering stock or de- claring fictitious dividends is and as for bearing the stock and taking it all in bedrock prices, it is evident that she has not the faintest conception of how 1t is done.
 It is apparent that Mrs. Dow is a dangerous woman. Unless she is checked in her career, the. first thing we know she will have revolutionized the railroad business of this country Unless she is quarantined the infection may spread, and before we can fully realize it, other railroad presidents and directors may be attacked with hon, esty, and may actually come to believe that stockholders have some rights And fancy what & state of things that would be-
 Mrs. Dow probably means well, but some friend ought to go to her an( tell her that hers is not the method il which railroad business is conducted in America. She should have held III to her the example of the great rail road kings of America, and the1 she will see that they never carried or their railroads as she has done hers.

Send Your Specimens.

Maj. G. W. Ingalls,, superintendent of the mineral Department of the Ariz Industrial Exposition Association, at Phenix, will be pleased to receive from mine owners of all portions of the Ter ritory, specimens of ore for exhibition After the Fair is closed those who de- sire may leave their samples in the permanent exhibition building. In sending specimens also give a full de scription of the mine from which they are taken, setting forth the character of the ore, formation, development work, average assays, etc, which will be recorded in a large book that will be open for the inspection of visitors, An effort will be made to advertise the mining resources of the Territory by this means, as widely as possible and there can be no doubt that great ulti- mate good will result to the miners from their exhibits. It is hoped Pi. nal county mines will be creditably represented. TT e Fair begii on Octo. Der 10th and closes on the 20th.

The Coming Railroad.
San Diego Union.l


 The Union is in receipt of informa- ton from the Panhandle stating that the Santa Fe line will be extended from that point in the direction of San Diego. Such line would open up in Texas and eastern New Mexico cattle country that is unsurpassed in the United States, and would place the same in closer communication with San Diego than the great stock-rais- ing districts of Kansas and Nebraska are to Chicago. The proposed line would pass down Salt River Valley, Arizona, giving San Diego direct com munication with Phenix, one of the most promising cities of Arizona The people of Phenix have for months been advocating the advisability of such a road, and the Santa Fe com pany, it appears, will be the organiza- tion to build it.
 The building of the proposed line from the Panhandle via Phenix to San Diego Is more than a possibility and San Diego people should lose no opportunity to urge its construction.
 The proposed line would not only open up a much richer country than that through which the Atlantic Pacific passes, but could be built so a: to avoid the heavy grades existinE upon the present route.

What is Florida's death should be


 Arizona's birth. The great army of winterlng tourists is now frightened from the orange groves of Florida by the cyclone of death that is devastating her towns and turning back in dismay the great horde of health and pleasure seekers to lands less afflicted than her own. The rigors of northern blizzard are but little less to be feared than the yellow fever of the south, and one or the other 1t matters not which, will claim it's victims by the thousands un- less they avoid both and seek the more congenial cline of the Pacific coast. Here then is Arizona's opportunity. Let her people make known the beau ties and advantages of the land they en- joy. Let health seekers be urged to come and if once here they will come again, if accomodations can be given them. Not even Florida's enchanting wiles will ever aga1n succeed in induc ing them to return within her inhospit- able borders, but every autumn they will return to Arizona with the regu- larity that the swallows come and go A few hundred dollars well expended would turn attention westward and each succeeding year the number of health seekers would be more than doubled. Will the venture be made?- Citizen.

Friday evening, during the rain, two negroes met in the road about a mile from town, and, as they had been quarreiing with one another thought they would settle their differ ences there. A large tree stood close by, and one of the darkies pulled off his coat and went to the tree to lay it down. Just then lightning struck the tree, ran down it, and knocked the negro down. The other one think ing that he was killed started off, but the negro jumped up and yelled: "Y CT took advantage and hit me wid a rock. Try it CT again; I'se ready now 7 The other darkey only pointed his fin ger at the tree, saying: "Pze got enough of you. If lightning cant hurt your old head I can't. I didn't hit yer. See dat?"

The White Metal.

In the July number of the Bullion, correspondent predicted the present raise in silver upon the following theory: "The failure of crops in India this year, which is made imminent by the almost total failure of the summer rains in that country makes the pres ent most opportune time for our government to take hold of the silver question as, with the balance of trade against them, the merchants of India will again, as heretofore, complain bitterly of the depreciation by English bankers of a standard of value which has been fixed and forced upon them by the mother country. Then too, if England is compelled to buy American wheat on a gold basis, this will tend to remove the incentive to depreciate silver that would exist were England paying for her breadstuffs in silver rupees. Therefore the present time would seem opportune for movement by the friends of silver with a view to q restoration of the white metal to its legitimate position as 8 standard oi l values.

The Buckhorn mine in the Super stition mountains, is developing into a most valuable property. A shaft has been sunk to a depth of seventy-fve feet and shows four foot vein of ore bearing gold, silver and copper which will average $700 to the ton. A cross cut is now being run. The owners of the mine will erect mill as soon as the property is thoroughly prospected, the work of which is in the hands of experienced miners, who are confident that the Buckhorn will prove bonan- ga. A number of other good claims are being worked in the same district and there is n0 doubt but that i2 the near future they will add greatly to the output of precious metals from Mari. copa county.-Tempe News.
