Arizona Onyx.
Journal Miner.

Hon. J. W. Dougherty and T. s. Bull lock, president of the P. & A. C. railroad and ce-president of the Monterey and Mexican Gulf railroad, returned last evening from spending couple of days at the onyx mines, at Mayors station, The last named gentleman was delighted with the vast extent of the quarry and the superb beauties of its stone and pro- nounced 1t as far surpassing any that he had ever seen during long and extensive experience in railroading in Mexico, dur ing which he had handled in the way of transportation great quantities of the onyx of that country. No better indica- tion, perhaps, can be given of how highly he regards the Alizona product than the fact that he has made arrangements to have two car loads, of ten tons each, of it shipped to New York to be used in the interior decorations of a half-million dol lar residence he is building there.

A Narrow Escape.
Tucson Citizen.

Wm. Shaw returns to his ranch at Mountain Springs today. Mr. Shaw was a heavy loser by the late floods, many of his 12-year-old fruit trees being carried away by the flood. About midnight last night MT. Shaw was startled by the news that his ranch hand, young man of 20, named Ed. O'Leary had been shot at and narrowly missed being killed.

Anuo Donini, 1919.

The Louisiana State Lottery Company Is peculiarly an institution of Louisiana Its interest is in charities and the popular appreciation of the company's efforts to advance the interests of the state are too well known to be controverted at this late day. The legislature of Louis jana before adjourning on the 10th of July of this year, ordered that an amendment to the constitution of the state be submitted to the people at an election in 1892, carrying the charter up to the year 1919. In the meanwhile the present charter does not expire until the first of January, 1895. There will not be the slightest change in the methods of the company which, under the man. agement of Generals Beauregard and Early, will be characterized by the same regard for equity and fair business deal ing which has made the name of the Louisiana State Lottery Company a syn onym of honesty all the world over Nashville (Tenn) Banner, Aug. 13.

A YOUNG AIAZEPPA.
Boy Dragged to Death by the Family
 Horse at Lehi.
Phenix Herald.


 As thunder is suddenly heard some times from clear sky, so in the peaceful meadow, where bees hum and cloud shadows chase each other, death darts fatally upon innocent, unsuspecting youth.
 Shortly after his Wednesday noon lunch, little Charlie Chrisman. not yet nine years old, went out to his mothers pasture in Lehi to catch the gentle old family horse. He had often done 1t be- fore and 1t was no more unusual an act than eating the meal he had just finished.
 But fate had set her inevitable seal on the bright. happy lad. In a short time his mangled remains were found mingling their clotted blood with the flowers that bloomed amidst the springing grasses. The back of his head was torn off and sharp stick had goughed an ugly hole from his cheek bone away up under one eye, which bulged out from its socket with sickening hideousness.
 No one saw the terrible accident and accounts differ as to its occurrence. Carl Johnson. a brother-in-law of the dead boy, explained to D. M. LeBarron at Mesa yesterday that Charlie must have been leading the horse by rope, one end of which was around the animals neck while, with the other, he playfully threw a moose to lasso something His own arm was caught. the old horse took fright and ran, dragging the boy wildly about the meadow, against rocks and stubble, till his little life was battered and literally torn from his body.
 Daniel Cline's theory is that the hoy was riding the horse, and caught by the arm while tossing the rope in sport At all events death came so suddenly that Lehi and Mesa were well nigh paralyzed with horror as the news quickly spread.
 Deceased was one of large family and in every way good child, but full of animal spirits and activity, He was buried at o'clock Thursday afternoon His father died last winter.
 The sympathy of Salt River Valley will go out to the bereaved mother and family in this dark hour of their lives.

From Mammoth.
Star.


 Mammoth camp and district shows encouraging prosperity. The Mammoth mill is dropping 50 stamps day and night which reduces 100 tons of ore every 24 hours. There are about 50 man work ing in the mine and mill; six or seven men who are working in the stopes knock down sufficient ore to supply the mill. There are about 30 men on development work in the mine.
 It is quite evident the mine is giving good returns as the addition of 30 stamps recently indicate. And a aerial tramway is to be put up at once from the mine to the mill which is three miles distant, and it is said that 60. more stamps will be added to the mill within the next few months.
 The district is coming rapidly to the front, many prospectors coming into the district, new buildings are being erected at Mammoth.
 The Public School IS in session with 6 good attendance. Everett Putnam is teacher. The Board of Supervisors oi Pinal County have advertised for bids to build the Mammoth and Tucson road; the bids will be opened and the award made on Oct. 9th, and the road will no doubt be completed soon after.

An Apache Voter.
Yuma Sentinel.

Joe Doten, age forty-two, an Apache Indian, is an entry that appears in the Great Register of this County, and to which bit of romance is attached. Many years ago whilst in pursuit of renegade Apaches in Sonora, Hon. P. R. Brady and others found in the possession of Mexi- can family, young Apache boy they had found in deserted Indian village MT. Brady, upon leaving Mexico, at the request of the boys captors. took him to Arizona, and on his arrival at Tucson, presented the young Apache to James Doten. A few years after MT. Doten re- moved to Yuma with his family where he resided up to the time of his death. MT. Doten took good care of his young Apache ward and when he became old enough apprenticed him out to learn wagon mak- ing, the business in which MT. Doten was engaged. The Indian youth was indus trious, quick to learn and soon became a skilled workman. Since the death of his benefactor. Doten the Apache has remain ed with the family. and is to-day a trusted and faithful friend of the Doten boys. Want of space forbids more extended notice of the history of Joe Doten. but, at some future time the Sentinel will pub fish the same in detail.

Good News For the Railroad.
PheniX Herald .

Through private Washington advices we learn that the railroad subsidy bill has been four times under consideration by the house committee on territories. The most strenuous efforts have been made to defeat it, directly or indirectly. But every attack. DO matter how insidious and deceiving, has been successfully repulsed. On the 10th instant the committee voted unanimously in favor of the bill. The sen- ate committee is understood to be equal ly favorable and the chances for its pass age are very bright indeed. Our people have every reason to look for an early en- actment of the bill. The confidence that such an act will inspire and the revival of various business enterprises is likely to make the ensuing year as bright as any in the history of Yavapai and Maricopa counties.

From Santa Rosa.
Tucson Star


 MT. Frank l.. Proctor came in from Santa Rosa ranch Tuesday night. He reports the grass thick and high and all kind of stock Is in excellent condition. MT. Proctor says that wherever the grass has been fed off in the part it is of much thicker growth than where it has not been disturbed.
 The Indians at Santa Rosa have 120 acres of corn and 60 acres of beans grow ing most luxuriantly.
 When MT. Proctor located his stock ranch in that section he furnished the Indians with wire to make fences around their grain field and the result has been that the Indians have put in an increased crop of grain and garden truck.
 MT. Proctor is chairman of the demo- cratic county central committee and he came in to see that the democratic phal- anx IS keeping time to democratic music.

New Butter Process

Buttermilk Moffitt is in receipt of a letter, as he claims, from his old Missouri home, which contains the following item about former playmate of the Hon. Buttermilk. His correspondent says:
 "A lady of this town recently set a pot of cream in a spring near the house, so that it might keep cool. During the night frog fell into the cream pot, and in his struggle to get out actually churn- ed the cream, so that when the lady visit ed the pot the next morning she found the frog sitting on a ball of butter, wash ing his feet in the buttermilk."

KID THE RENEGADE.
What They Think of Him in California

The Los Angeles Express, in speaking of Kid" who is just now the center of attraction in this part of Arizona, says:
 'The renegade Apache, Kid, has ridden into Tucson and ridden safely out again. He seems to have been desirous of humil- ating his pursurers somewhat as the Confederate cavalry commander, Stuart, Inundated Mcclellan by riding round the latter Kid is an Indian of remarkable skill and daring. About three years ago he was a prisoner at the United States bar racks at San Diego awaiting trial for military offenses. So careful of him were the military authorities there, that, though other Apache prisoners were allowed the freedom of the grounds, he was kept in irons with guard over him. He is young, very light in color, rather hand some for an Indian, and with pair of keenest and most watchful eyes that were ever in the head of human being. He was for a time scout in the service of the government. He seems ambitious to become second Geronimo.

A Wise Plan.
Tombstone Prnsnector

Some criticism has been made of the Copper Queen Mining Company's system of assessing their employees small sum each month for what is known as hos pital fund, the object of which is to defray the expenses of any one who may be talk en sick or be confined to his room as the result of an accident. From one of the miners who has worked on the Copper Queen for three years, we learned that what at first seemed a hardship to the men had grown in favor until it is con- sidered one of the greatest and cheapest benefits possible to be derived from such a small expenditure of money.

Put Him on the Jury.
Tombstone Epitaph.

One of the aliens last night thought that the law-making power of our gov ernment was parliament and was quite sure that Congress was big building somewhere, but didn't know exactly where. He liked this country because he could make more here than in the 'old country" He was attached to the Con- stitution of the United States for the same reason and knew that we. had a ruler, but hadn't the remotest idea who he was or how he obtained his position, although he had read part of the Constitution. Other questions re- ceived similar answers and he was ex- cused until he could learn something about the laws of the country of which he wished to be a citizen.

A Neat Job.
PneiliX Gnzpfra

Mr J. A. Marshall was called upon yes terday to perform wonderfully difficult piece of blacksmithing. The nine-inch shaft of the Phenix mine broke nearly in the center, and MT. Bradstreet, knowing that MT. Marshall had had great experi- ence in welding mining and milling shafts, brought the huge piece of wrought iron to him to weld. The undertaking was a serious one in common blacksmith shop, but MT. Marshall was equal to the occasion and inside of four hours laid the huge shaft at his door as perfect and as strong as when it left the lathe in the Moline shops. Few men in the west un- der similar circumstances could have per formed this contract.

Bereft Of Reason.
Prospector.

The insane man Hereraz created a commotion at Fairbank just before he was brought up here, which might have resulted disastrously. An engine was standing on the A. & $. D. track, which attracted his attention, and there being no one on it he jumped into the cab and threw the throttle valve wide open. Fortunately the locomotive had been left in such safe condition that the mad act of the Mexican had no effect other than to call attention of those near by, who rushed to the rescue and seized the fel- low. He said he was on his way to Naco- sari, and chances are even that he would have been there or elsewhere very soon had not his attempt to ride been thwart- ed. A large crowd of men were stand ing in front of the engine, who would have been hurt had he made start.
