origin of Story Attributed to Twenty
 Handsome Women.

Handsome Women.
 Lady Harriet D'0rsay was really, ac- oordiug to Mr. SaIa, in his reninis- cences published recently, the heroine of story which has been told in at least twenty forms of twenty different ladies of fashion. She was presiding at stall at Q vente de ehurite, or bazaar, held in aid of the fund of some asylum or another, when there came Up tho duke of Orleans, son and heir of King Louis Philippe. The duke, after some polite small talk, began to cxtol the beauty of her hair, and, indeed, her Henrietta Marie coitfure had never lookea RIossier ana softer than it did this day
 "Ohn said his royal highness, If could only possess one of those en- chanting ringletsw
 How much would mouseigneur give for one2" asked Lady Harriet, gravely; five thousand francs?'
 Five thousand francsm repeated the duke; a mere baFate.le."
 "Six thousand francs?"
 Anything SO charming lady chose to aaH-"
 "l will not be extortionate," pursued Lajy harrieti i've will say five thou sand
 And then she very composedly pro duced dainty little pair of scissors, snipped of the adorable Henrietta Maria ring,et, wrapped it in silver paper and handed it with dignity to the duke. Hts royal hghness looked very straight down his nose, and, re, turning Lady haruet's salute, sta,ked somewhat Rloomi!y away. But his pr,vy purse ia.y forwarded the money next day.--Phiade.phi Press

COPPER,

There has been Q hardening tenden- cy throughout the week The export sales of lake copper have greatly re- lievsd the market of this description, and tho larger companies refuse to sell now except at 9ic. It is true, a few contracts have been made from second hands and from ,hs smaller companies ct slight concessions, but very little copper is available at these figures, and it has nearly ali been disposed of In electrolytic copper the transactions have been rather large at 93c, or a shade less, but stiher rates are now also asked For casting copper the demand continues rather languid, and we have to quote 9o@9lc In any case, the declining tendency for cop per has been checked, and more conf deuce is shown in every direction. Arizona copper is still held above the market
 The foreign market, while rot speci. ally active, has also again become quite firm. A large business Tn fine copper has again been done, especially in elec- trolytic, but the terms can not be def initely ascertaiued It appears Chat sellers arc rather stiifer in their ideas, otherwise still further contracts could have been entered into. The demand from the East is said to be on the in crease. Interesting trials are now be. ing made by some of opr leading rail road companies, like the New York Central & Hudson River, the Penusyl yania and the New York, New Haven & Hartford, in substituting electricity for steam, and trolley wires appear to be most in fayor If this proves to be success, @ tremendous demand for copper ought to spring up, this being an entirely new outlet of great conse- quence. We shall keep our readers closely posted as to the results ob- tained Engineering X Mining Jour nal.

The bill paraling prisoners passed by the Inst legislature, as 1t appears on it's f;lee does not meet with general approval by our citizens. It may he that Judge Edwards can explain the benefits to be derived therefrom. Was the measure introduced and passed upon the score Of economy? If so, it ia false economics the Territory must take caro of the criminal and vicious clement" Or, was 1t passed upon the ground of more humanity for the de- prayed, that tho punishment metad out to them to fll the crime by Judge and jury might be mitlgated by parole by the Governor The BELT is not in favor of the act; if any clemency is to be observed, 1t should be exorted in behalf of the taxpayers and defence less citizens.
 And in this connection it is proper to state that petition was circulated in Globe during the present week di rected to the Governor, asking him to refrain from pardoning any more h. diaIs The petition was signed by every person to whom it was presented and contains the names of over one hundred and fifty persons. It recites that heretofore the Governor pardoned Nat sin alas Dandy Jim, who was con victed at the October term 1890, of the District Court of Gila county, for the murder of Ed Baker, and sentenced to life imprisonment The applicants for the pardon of Nat.sin perpetrated Q fraud upon the Governor and the peo- pie of Gila county, The application for the pardon of Natsin stated that he was victim of quick consumption. The fact of the matter is, that Nat-sin is and has always been in nrobust health. Nat.sin or Dandy Jim while in con. iiuement told a Munchausen tale of a l iabuloasly rich gold mine, richer than ever Midas dreamt of, situated in the Sierra Anchas And this story sl worked upon the cupidity of certain 1 persons that they made repeated efforts to have Dandy Jim released. Their ! first move was to urge the Governor tC ] release certain Indians confined in the penitentiary to aid in capturing the Kid. Bailled in this dttempt and fearful lest the gold mine should fall ! into other hands, tho applicants made the last, and alas, successful effort fol the release of Dandy Jim. This time, consumption came to the rescue, Thi. is the manner in which Dandy Jim se- cured his freedom, through the cppidi 1 ty of a few whites, and by false state ments to the parioning power.
 And Q. this time comes John Dazen ! the father flaw of Dandy Jim, unC an uncle of Gualupe and says tha Dandy Jim will reveal the hidden treas ure - when Gualupe and Bat Dist are pardoued, and not before. Ant
 we fear that these same adyentureri who stopped to chicane in effectiug tn, release of Dandy Jim, at this stage oI l the game, will soon take active steps tC secure the release of GualUpe and Bat, ! Dish.

Story of Famous Days Sport in Col
 orado Town.

Story of a Famous Days Sport in a Col
 orado Town.
 When the special train bringing tho visiting hunters reached Lamar there was brass band at the station, md the brass band was there when they left. The merchants closed their stores and tho people threw open their houses for the entertainment of their guests After the hunt began the ir- regular discharge of the rifles in the sand hills around Lamar reminded one of picket firing. When large party of gunners found a stretch of prairie where the rabbits were thick the re- port of the guns sounded like a general engagement. Though the rabbit hunt is fixed annual event in Lamar, and rabbits are killed by thousands, there seems to be no decrease in the number. They multiply so rapidly during the summer months that it becomes neces- sary to make some such organized at tack on them, for they are becoming as great nuisance as they arc in Aus tralia. The rabbits breed on the grassy plains above the canals, where they stay until their forage fails them. Then they gather in the alfalfa fields, which accounts for their being sonuInerousa at this srasonfof the year, says Harper's Weekly.
 At the Beginning of the hunt the wagons began coming in at four o'clock, and continued until nine at night. with hcapng loads of the slain furry ene- mics of the farmer The cleaners be- gan their work with the first wagon load, and worked bravely, but the odds were against them, and they were soon half buried in the mass of rabbits await ing preparation for shipment At the frst days hunt fully two thousand were killed. No wagon brought in fewer than oue hundred rabbits, and one went as high as four hundred and fifty, about three thousand pounds. A great number of rabbits were slain winch were not brought in All rec ords were broHen at this hunt, and not 8 single accident occurred to mar the pleasure of the participants.
 When the spring comes and the fresh green grass comes mp the jack rabbits appear iu large numbers and bcr.n 10 nibble on the bari, of the young fruit trees and the vines. Whole orchards are destroyed by them. If you were to walk through Q large vineyard you might not see one rabbis, although hundreds might be around you. They seerctc themselves very cleyCrly in the grass, aud, being 50 nearly thc color of the ground, are hard to detect They lie close, with their large ears Ga, upon their backs, until dstUrbed, and one eau almost walk over them before they will move.

SOUND LAW.

A sNNNn AAWs
 Judging from newspaper comment, the new mining law is generally well received. The privilege under the U g. lew, where not curtailed by local regulation, of locating any number of mining claims in the name of one loca. tor, sad the facility with which it has been possible to hold claims, and relo- cate them from year to year, without doing the required annual assessment work, has been great hindrauee to tbe development of our mineral lands, The law enacted by the Eighteenth Legislature is framed to partially cor rect these abuses, and there is reason to 5eheve that it will accomplish tho object sought,
 Among some minerB an impression prevails that that section of the new law requiring that ten foot discovery shaft be sunk on each claim within ninety days after the location, is in conflict with tho D. s, Statute which fixes the value of the annual assess ment work at S1Oo and allows the loca- tor one year from the first day of Jan nary succeeding the date of location in which to perform it. This opinion is not tenable, however. as the sinking of the discovery shaft is made pre.re- qlisite to the completion of the loca- ton and recording of the claim, aud is not to be considered as contributing toward the annual assessment work, which must be performed during the year succeeding location.
 The right of States and Territories, As also of .he zliners of each mining district, to make regulations governing the location, manner of recording, and amount of work necessary to hold pos session of mining claim, subject 10 the requirements of the U. s, Statute (See. 2324) is recognized and specih- cally granted and moreover, the in tent of the U, s. law is plainly that mineral n place shall have been dis covered before location is made Tn fact, the value of discovery shaft is recognized by the Government, and some such preliminary work is expect ed of the locator, as will be learned from paragraphs l8 and II of the Land Office Regulations, which read
 "The statutes provide that no lodo- claim shall be recorded until after the discovery of vein or lode within the limits of the claim located, the object of which provision is evidently to pre- vent the appropriation of presumed mineral ground for speculative purpos- es to the exclusion of bona tide pros pectors, before sufficient work has been done to determine whether vein or lode really exists, "
 "The claimant should, therefore, prior to locating his claim, unless the vein can be traced upon the surface, sink a shaft, or run q tunnel or drift 10 a sufficient depth therein to discover and develop mineral bearing vein, lode or creyice, etc.
 The provision of the Arizonn law re. quiring discovery shaft on each loca- ton is, therefore, in conformity with the '. S Statutes and the regulations oi the Land Office. Not ouly that, We find Colorado, New Mexico, South Da- kots and Wyoming have laws contain ing similar requirements We believe that Ayizona's new mining law is a good one, and that it's strict observance will result in substantial benefit to the min inr indugtry

A NEW R4llno4D PaoSgor.

The Durango, Flagstaff and San Diego railroad IS the talk of the town. There is twelve miles of track, and twenty.three of grade ready for rails. This IS the Mineral Belt road now used by the Arizona Lumber Company and can be secured by the new corporation. Other rails can be had readily The thirty five mile stretch will be profta- ble from the start, they say. The pro. jectors count on tapping the Jerome district The annual product of the Urlted " Mining Company s works, 1 am told, is equivalent to 5000, COG poNnds of copper, l,5OO, 900 ounces of gold and 7,00O,O 1000 ounces of silver. These fgnres look awful, but good cal eulators have settled on them as pretty near correct. On the way south the road in question strikes the Black Cam yon, Tonto Basin and Phoenix, thence via Yuma to San Diego Distance from Flagstaff via Verde Valley to Thnniz. 155 miles, and from this place via Ash Fork to Phenix, 253 miles Proposed storage on the Verde will aid the con templated line Connections at Du- rango are calculated to open the line to the east. The above IS tho general outline of tho Durango, Flagstaff and San Diego route, and the cost of con tinuation to Phonix is estimated at less than s2,5oO, -Flagstai cor respondenee of the Albuquerque Citi. zen.
