THE CASTLE CREEK ROUTE.
An old Prospector Claims It to Be the
 Richest in Minerals.

LII
 "If the Prescott X Arizona Central will build it's line via the Castle creek route it will penetrate the richest min- eral section in the Southwest" said Harvey Howe to REPUBLICAN repre- sentative yesterday.
 "I have prospected all over Arizona and know what am talking about in proclaiming this the richest section of all, ," said Mir. Howe. "If the managers of the road will go with me will pilot them over the route free of charge, and within ten miles of the line road along Castle creek l can show them no less than 300 good prospects. There is but one mine in the district that is exten- siyely worked as yet, for the reason that transportation by wagon is too ex- pensive. Most of the owners of the mines along the creek are poor men, and they have mot sufficient means to carryin fuel to smelt the ores. ihave mine one mile from the Castle creek, on Yellow creek, in which I have sunk shaft 220 feet deep and shaft twenty feet, and have not been out of ore on any of it. The ore body is sixteen to eighteen feet wide of good smelling ore, carrying gold, silver and copper and running $40 to $60 per ton. One-half mile from my location is another shaft lS0 feet deep, on the same lead, with drift eighty feet long, and the ore from this runs from $40 to S260 per ton.
 'I will guarantee that 1 can find twenty mines over this route to every one they can find via any other route. 1 have been prospecting since 1859 and know what the countryis. The grades via Castle creek are not heavy. In fact, believe road could be built cheaper that way than via the Black canon and the mineral wealth to be opened up along the route is simply incalculable.

A Bullets Freak.

Anew years ago there was in portions
ofthe new West much lawlessness OF one
kind and another, checked only by an
occasional piece ofindividual retribu.
ton, or by an outburst of vigilance
committee work. A curious shooting
affair, which occurred in Medora,
North Dakota, is thus described by
Mr.. Roosevelt:
did not see the actual occurrence,
but I saw both men immediately
afterward and Iheard the shooting,
which took place in a saloon on the
bank, while was swimming my horse
across the river. Twill not give the
full names of the two contestants,
as am not certain what has become
OF them; though was told that they
had since been put in Jail or hanged, /
forget which. : N
One of them was a saloon-keeper,
familiarly called Welshy. The other
man, Hay, had been pickering with
him tor some time. One day Hay
entered the saloon, and the quarrel
became at once violent. Welshy sud.
denly whipped out his revolver and
blazed away at Hay.
Hay staggered slightly, shook him
self, stretched out his hand and gave
back to his would-be slayer the ball,
saying, 'Here, man, here's the bullet!''
1t had glanced along his breast bone,
gone a roundabout course, and come
out at hepoint Of the shoulder, when,
being spent, it dropped down the

= SHARP TRICK.

But 1t Didn't Work on One Man Who.
Knew About 1t.
When the guests sat down to the
table in the little combination hotel
and boarding house the propreto-
uncovered what looked like a fine
roast of beef, and cut off a fairly lib
eral slice for each man.
The surveyor who had been tramp
ing around all day said he was as,
hungry as a bear, and thought he
could eat at least half of such a.
roast, and the other members Of the
party admitted that they could make
large sections Of it disappear. The
travelling man said that after all, the
best meat was to be had in the little
country places.
The proprietor said he trusted they
would not stint themselves, he liked
to see his guests have good appetites
He rather prided himself on the table
he set, he said.
The potatoes and other vegetables,
were good and plentiful, and every
one started in for a good dinner, in
Guiding the proprietor. But the lat
ter's first mouthful seemed to surprise.
him. He looked perplexed, but he
tried it again, taking a very small
piece. RI f. -4
'3Gentlemen, he said, "do you
notice anything wrong with this
"What seems to be the matter?~
asked the surveyor, as he poised a.
piece of it on his fork.
"Why, may be little over-fastid-
ious because of the superfne quality
OF our beef usually" said the proprie-
| tor, "but it tastes to me a trihe faint
| ed."
The surveyor tried the piece he
had on his fork and admitted that it
did taste.a trife strong, and the man
next to him had noticed it also. ,.
"Pll see about it, said thelandlord
with determination, and he had the
cook called in. The cook said the
meat had been delivered that morn
ing, but that it looked a little stale to-
him.
'"That settles it," said the proprie-
tor, with determinations "Gentlenen,
I'm sorry, but we'll have to do the
best we can with vegetables. To-
morrow is Sunday, however, and I'll
have the finest roast in the country
for YOU" Then to the cook, "Throw
it out in the alley, and when the.
butcher comes again send him to me- -
"Hold on!' expostulated the COM
mercial traveller. "Give me another
piece first
"You don't mean to say you like
it!' exclaimed all the others.
"Oh, it's not SO bad,' he replied.
They watched him eat it, and they
waited for him to get sick; but he,
didn't get sick; on the contrary, he
seemed to feel better than any of
them. Finally one man bluntly ask
ed him if he had cast-iron stomach.
"Not at ALL he replied, "bur I've,
been here before. It's his regular
trick to make the roast last over

It is doubtful if the most strenuous

OF thirteen children, was severe enough

Royal Women Who Smoke Cigar
cites With Gusto.
Those who rave with unceasing bit
terness against women who smoke,
and who declare the habit to be i'll
bred and fast, have no idea of the.
women they are condemning. The
Expresses of Russia and Austria, the
Queen of Italy and the Queen Regent
of Spain, as we'll as their Majesties of
Portugal, Roumania and Servia and
the Countries of Paris are all ardent
lovers of tobacco, of which they are
also thoroughly good judges. Per
haps the most inveterate smoker
among tht Royal ladies is the Empress
OF Austria, who consumes from thirty
to forty cigarettes a day. She keeps
her : tobacco in an exquisitely-
chased silver box, which, together
with gold ash tray, are always to,
be seen on her writing table. Her
Imperial Majesty of Russia and Queen,
Marguerite OF Italy only smoke in the
privacy of their own boudoirs. That:
of the Empress of Russia is q most
fascinating apartment, which makes
really ideal smoking room.

Servia has astore OF obacco from each,

cases carried by some of these ladies'
are veritable dreams of beauty, being
usually of gold, inlaid with precious,
stones. Turning to our own country,
it would take too long to mention the
names of the well-known. feminine
votaries Of the weed, and it is not
even necessary to repeat that they
