A Whopper

Anaconda Standard: Everett Paxson, A. Rudolph, Will Morris, and Julius Jacobs, brother of City Treasurer Jacobs, returned from Yellowstone Park, where they had been fishing, hunting, and loaf ing for five weeks. They are as bronzed as Indians and as fruitful in yarns as sailors. They killed carloads of small game, all of which was shipped East. As to large game, many bears were seen, but the gang fought shy of them.
 Julius Jacobs, however, had a wonder ful adventure with bear which is worth recording. On horseback he rode some distance from the camp and got away from his companions. Tethering his horse to tree in the dense forest, he cast his eagle eye around for game, and when several rods from his horse he deserted an immense bear glaring him full in the face. Jacobs wasn't loaded for bear. If he had been it would have been simple, ordi- nary bear story, The bear wasn't very troublesome, but whenever Jacobs started to retreat bruin would advance a few paces toward him.
 If he advanced toward the bear the bear would show his teeth and retreat a few steps. Thus, with considerable maneuvering, about the same relative positions were maintained. Jacobs search ed all his pockets for suitable weapon and finally found a tenpenny nail. bright idea seized him, and he carefully drew the bird shot from his gun and load ed 1t up with the tenpenny nail The bear was standing with his tail against the trunk of tree. Jacobs took carefu. aim, fired, and nailed the bears tail fast | to the tree. The bear was now unable tc advance toward Jacobs, and he retreatec in safety to where his horse was tethered
 Arrived at this point, another brilliant idea struck Jacobs. He took his riding whip and returned to the scene of the adventure. He began haying the beal with the whip, in spite of the bears how'll and protests. Finally the hide was SC loosened that the bear jumped clear ou of his skin, and made his way into tht woods with yells of distress. Jacob calmly drew the nail from the tree, slunI the skin over his shoulder, mounted hi horse and returned to camp.
 Unfortunately, while the caravan wa crossing the Jefferson river the bearskil tumbled of and was lost. Jacobs, how ever, still has the tenpenny nail, and cal show it.

MAMMOTH, A, T. Ger. 24th, 1890.
 EDITOR ENTERPRISE:+I would like, with your permission, to have a little talk with the voters of our county through the columns of your paper.
 wish to say to my fellow citizens that we have too often been neglectful of our best interests in voting for party instead of for the men who were the most con- petent to fill the offices.
 We have sent some good men to the legislature but they have let the design ing men pull the wool over their eyes and now we taxpayers have to pay for the ex- travagant and often useless appropriations that have been imposed upon us by reck- less and interruptions men.
 Now fellow citizens, am an old repub- lican but am going to vote for Gen. J, B. Allen, Capt. Cage and r. R. Brady, three democrats, because believe they are the best men. They are old timers and identified with all the best interests of the county. The Gen. and MT. Brady are conversant with the laws and organic acts of the territory and will not be like one man who went to the legislature two years ago who had to jump mp every few minutes and shout MT. Speaker! I wish to be informed" We want men now who are already informed, "-men who do moi need to ask the Speaker" or any one else to instruct them in their duties to theil constituents.
 Now fellow citizens have mo axe to grind and am an aspirant for no political favor but express only my honest senti ments when say that We should all lay aside party ties and vote for Genera Allen, MT. P. R. Brady and Capt. Cage I am the more earnest in this view of oul duty because the legislature has responsi ble work to do this winter that will need men of experience and ability to carry through, and because see so plainly that we must have retrenchment in pub lie expenses or be ruined by high taxes.
 Very respectfully, J. N. DoDsoN.

Ramie for Silkworms.

According to the American Druggist, a discovery has been made by a lady at Columbus, s. O., that may have marked effect upon two great industries. For a number of seasons this lady has amused herself by feeding silkworms and sending a few pounds of cocoons to the Woman's Society for the encouragement of the Silk Industry in Philadelphia. The ex- traordinary warmth of last winter caused the eggs to hatch far in advance of the season, and as the young leaves of null berry and the Osage orange had not put forth, our amateur was at a loss what to do. Seeing that the foliage of the ramie in neighboring field was putting out, she gathered some and put the worms upon it. They fed ravenously, and she kept up the supply until the Osage orange leaves appeared. Then she divided her worms equally, feeding one set with ramie, the other with Osage orange.
 She kept the cocoons separate and them to Philadelphia. The experts there were astonished at the size of those spun by the ramie eaters, and wrote to the lady to know what shs had done to se- cure them. They were not only larger, but the silk was finer. If further ex- periments should prove that ramie leaves can be depended on for silkworm food, then great impetus will given to the production of this valuable article and add to the profits of those who raise the plant for its fiber.

The Last Buffalo Hunt.
Kansas Farmer


 Buffalo have become so scarce that any thing concerning them has interest for the general reader. The Laramie Repub- lean tells of hunting party starting out from Laramie in search for buffalo, ac- companied by expert lassoers Their ob- lect is not to slaughter the animals, but to lasso them, and bring them alive to Laramie. A herd has been seen by sev- eral parties during the past year, and its haunts pretty well located. It is supposed to be now ranging on Red Desert, in Car bon and Fremont counties, and that is the objective point of the Laramie hunt CTS. The latter take with them a grub wagon and ten saddle horses, and expect to be absent four months. If at the end of that time they should return with a half dozen or more buffalo, they will have a property nearly as valuable as a coal mine, and will in all probability start a buffalo ranch on the Laramie plains. after the style of that owned by Hon. C. J. Jones, at Garden City, Kas.
 That the capture of the herd is feasible is shown by the fact that a few months ago. a cowboy who ran across them lassoed one, threw it and branded it. af ter which he turned it loose, the state law making 1t penitentiary otfense to kill buffalo. The difficulty the party will encounter will not be so much to capture this noble game as to get them to Lara mic after they are taken, as they are the most stubborn and intractable brute on earth. It is probable that they will be taken to the nearest railroad station and ship ped on the cars. There is scarcely a doubt that this will be the last buffalo hunt enjoyed by any party in the United States-it certainly will be the last in Wyoming if successful, and if through its means the species can be increased and perpetuated the expedition will not have been undertaken in vain. 4 full blooded American bison is worth from $500 to | S3,OOO, where they can be bought at all.
 Buffalo" Jones, as he is familiarly known, has very large ranch at Garden City, on which he has some 200 head of full-blooded and graded bison. He has made great success at breeding them with native cattle, and finds that the ami nal thus obtained is in many respects superior to the bison, the robe, particu- larly, being of lovely seal brown and as fine as genuine sealskin. Jones has been trying to get hold of all the buffalo left on this continent, and two years ago purchased the famous herd owned by a party near Winnipeg, paying very large price for them

ANew Mining Company.

Thomas Layton, secretary Of Helicon Mining and Milling Company, writes from St, Louis as follows:
 "The Helicon Mining Company are go- ing to work the Golden West mine, under somewhat different methods to those here tofore practiced. The boring will be pushed vigorously under contract only, until water is secured when the mill will be started and miners in sufficient num- bers employed to keep it going. MT. w. A. Craig now at the mine recently sent us ten samples, and writes leach sample as I give them was reduced from seventy-fve (75) to one hundred and twenty-five (125) pounds of ore and will represent the mine absolutely" The total assays of the ten samples is 46.20 ounces in gold and 92.3 ounces in silver. The assays were made by the St. Louis sampling and testing works and are regarded as being reliable in their work. This representing the mine absolutely, and the assay being correct gives us property worth looking after"

Important Mining Enterprise.
Prescott Journal l-Miuer.


 About twelve miles south of Tin Ton. on lower Humbug creek, is located Camp Hatersley, the headquarters of one of the most important enterprises in this county. It IS placer mining company, the SUD- erlntendent of which is Daniel E. Keat- Ing, than whom more genial and hospit- able man IS rarely found. MT. Heating has for three months or more given en- pIoyment to over enc hundred men, and mas one of the best arranged, most sub stantlal and best equipped camps in Ari- zona. Yet so quietly and unostentatious- 1y has he conducted his business that but little mention has ever been made of the enterprise in any of the newspapers of the territory. Mir c. H. Akers, repubi- can candidate for county recorder, who visited this model camp recently, was enthusiastic iii his praise, both of Mana ger keatlng and his very estimable wife, whose hospitality he enjoyed. but of the bright prospects for success of the enter prise of which the former is in charge. From him the Journal Miner learns that ditch has been built one and a half miles Ill length, through solid rock nearly the entire distance, and 473 feet of which IS tunnel through solid rock. The ditch IS four feet wide, two feet deep, the Aotii AiOAAl lllC HSdu Ol uI0 ulCCn to the placer gravel beds being 100 feet, giving the carrying capacity of the ditch 2,500 inches. In addition to the ditch there is also l,349 feet of Hume, constructed in first class order.
 The dam, located on Humbug creek, is l0O feet long, l5 feet thick and 30 feet high, being built of solid masonry. It is not intended so much for storage reser- yolr as to raise the water to give it good fall to the placer grounds below, which are practically ineXhaustible
 The enterprise is one of such magni tude and general importance, and which has required such an outlay of capital that the placer beds have been thorough ly prospeoted. and show yield in gold of B cents per cubic yard, and in ex- tent ale unlimited
 MT. Heating has good supply store in camp, and IS provided with all the con veniences of modern town. The loca- ton of the camp being several feet lower than the dam, 1t is supplied with good system of water-works, and requires no great stretch of the imagination for one to fancy himself in fairy village, in one of the most romantic spots on earth, in- stead of in an Arizona mining camp, in visiting the place.

Crushed Beneath the Gold He was Seek
 ing For.
Phenix Herald.

Phenix Herald.
 William Johnson, whose entombment alive in his mine on rich Hill has already been noted in the Herald, has undoubted- ly perished. Letters received from Charles Genung, George W. Barnard. and per sonal visit to the place by Architect Leon ard last week show that he met his fate in another part of the mine than that where Genung first found fallen drift
 Mayor Beatty, who is mining in that locality and who is well known here, con- ducted further investigations. At a point 300 feet away he discovered an additional cave; sticking out from the debris was Q pick handle, which proved to be John sons. A terrible stench and swarms of huge black flies proved almost beyond question that there, crushed beneath tons of gsngue rock, slept forever what re- mained of poor William Johnson. The spot lies in a narrow, crooked tunnel where the ground is so dangerous that men dare not conduct the work of recov- ering his body.
 For fifteen years deceased had worked alone in his claim, taking out gold enough to supply living expenses and boring farther into the bowels of Rich Mountain for vast treasures he believed to await him there.
 Already his claim had grown to value of $100,000. By the irony of pitiless fate he was doomed to die from suffocation un- der the very rock whose possibly dis closed the yellow gold he had sought so long and patiently.

Retaliatory Measures.


 A Kansas City, Mo, telegram of Octo- Der 29th says: There was considerable stock men relating to advices received from Mexico to the effect that that country had placed a duty of $500 per car on American cattle. If the advices are true this practically runs the live stock trade between this country and Mexico.
 This act of the Mexican government is regarded here as a retaliatory one, pre- cipitated by the fear Mexicans have of the Mckinley bill. It has been rumored among the stock men of this city for the past few days that the Mexican govern ment was contemplating a move of this kind, but there wasthought to be nothing in it until dispatches were received from agents to-day apparently confirming the reports.

From the Mammoth.
Tllcson Star.

4 visitor to our city, from the Nam moth, states the Mammoth mill is run hing steadily upon fine looking ore. and the town has been quite lively for some time past owing to the presence of many aspirants to political preferment.
 The Mammoth mine is looking splen- did and is worked in an able and scientific manner by the foreman, MT. A. J. Collins, who carries the respect of both employers and employees.
 There is lively opposition in the mer- cantile business and the prices for staples are quite low. Much rich ore is being shipped from the Bunker Hill district and several parties in doing assessment work have opened up some rich little stratas, the ore is principally argentifer- ous galena and most of it was up eto 400 and 800 ounces silver.
 Reports of very extensive and rich gold strike. on the Table Mountains mine, are circulated but nothing definite is known.

Assas sinatcd.
Prescott Journal-MineT

One of the most cowardly and cold blooded assassinations that has plotted the fair name of Arizona's history for many year occurred between 1 and ? o'clock this morning, just on the western outskirts of the town. The victim was George Johnson, a well known cowboy of this county.
 Johnson, in company with three others, had spent the evening in town and were on their way to s. c. Miller's being to spend the night, Rob Miller being one of the party. When near the old Prescott feed yard, the report of shot, gun was heard from behind, when all of them started to run. Another flash and another report, and still another, when Johnson dropped, limp and bleeding on the door-steps of the house in the corner of the corral. Mr. Jones, who lives in this house, was awakened by the first report, and came to the assistance of Johnson's comrades. and carried the wounded man into the house, and med ical aid was summoned at once, and the case was reported to Sheriff O'Neill. The latter, on interviewing Johnsons companions and MT. Jones, at once went to the Tragic market and arrested John Chart, who was found in bed, over the meat shop. He expressed surprise at being arrested, and claimed to know nothing of the shooting, although it is alleged that two of the parties with Johnson claim to have recognized him.
 Johnson died at about four o'clock this morning, although up to within a short time of his death he was cheerful and thought he would recover. The entire back portion of his body and legs were riddled with shot, fifty-four wounds being counted.
 Friends of both the deceased as well as of the accused are reticent as to the alleged cause of the shooting, although admitting that trouble had existed be- tween Chart and Johnson.
 As it will be the subject of a judicial examination, the facts will probably be brought out and the innocence of Chart either established or his guilt proven i An inquest is being held on the remains this afternoon, the result of which had not been determined at the hour of going tc l press.

A Phenix paper states that c. $. Her ring, A. W. Irvine and others, have located q reservoir site ten miles southwest of Ve- kol, in the corner of Pinal and Maricopa. The location is doubtless at Saucido, where quite a colony of thrifty Mormons have already started farming operations and built several comfortable houses The water for irrigation will be impound- ed in storage reservoirs during the rainy seasons, the concentration of the water from extensive watersheds in that neigh borhood greatly facilitating the maintain. ing of sufficient supply. The soil is oi portant settlement will probably spring up at that place. The valleys in that section favor the establishment of several such enterprises.

The Best Cyclopedia.

The twenty third volume of Alden Manifold Cyclopedia includes the titles from McCook to Memorial Among the articles, we notice the biographies of many eminent men and women of early times, as well as those of the present day, also excellent descriptions of many large cities and towns. The volume treats very satisfactorily three states: Maine, Mary land, and Massachusetts,; and of foreign countries there are Madagascar, Madeira, Malta, and Manitoba. Interesting sub jects in other lines are Machine Gun: Magic; Magma Charta; Magnetism, 19 pages; Mammalia 10 pages; Man, 6 pages; Mangel- Wurzel; Manure, pages; Mar ble; Marriage, 6 pages; and Masons (Free), about pages. These are named only as samples of what the volume con- tains, The articles are brought down very nearly to date, many Of them are illustrated, the style and arrangement are excellent, and the printing and binding are entirely satisfactory. The one thing about it which it is difficult to compre- bend is how so valuable work can be supplied for so low d price. For farmers mechanics. teachers, students, and the great mass of general readers, the Man fold Is far superior to any other Cyclo- pedia. Specimen pages will be sent free on application to the publishers. A spec imen volume in cloth binding will be mailed for 50 cents, or in half Morocco for 75 cents, and the money refunded il the volume is returned within ten days John E.

A New Mill.
Tombstone Frospeetor.

The Tevis mill at Teviston started up one day last week and every wheel turned in perfect order. Probably by next week a start for months run will be made and a system of dry concentrating will re- ceive its first practical test in this part of the country. The Prospector will give a full and complete description of the new process and it's practical result just as soon as it has demonstrated its claims for general use. A private letter received from MT. Tevis shows him to be very much elated over the outlook.
