Carp Shooting is Popular with Some of
 Prescotta' Sportsmen.

Carp Shooting IS Popular with some of
 Prescotts' sportsmen.
 We have heard yarns of that splendid fish, the carp, being in duced to bite at bait composed of limburger cheese steeped in whlskey and of the shooting of the flying fish in the tropics by sailors when their ships would be drifting in the doldrUms, but we never heard of 8 carp shooting until to-day. H. A. s. Clough complains that sports men from Prescott are in the habit of encroaching on his preserves, in fact he is responsible for the as- founding statement that our local hunters go to his fish pond for the express purpose of shooting his carp who he claims bask on the surface of the waters of his pond and are an easy prey to the shot gun of the pot hunter.
 There must be something radical ly wrong with the waters of the pond as the carp is a fish that keeps close to the bottom and un- like the trout and bass is very sel dom seen at the surface. Possibly somebody made mistake and that crap shooting was intended instead of carp shooting or perhaps NIT. Clough's carp have selected cork for des rt as the Prescott hunter usually supplies himself with stim- ulant before starting on shooting expedition. Scientists say that the German carp is very fond of iutUxi- cants and the consumption of the cork would account for the buoy ancy of the fish. John Mccarthy is at the head of the snake class. We would suggest that Mir. Clough proceed to the head of the fish class.

 A few days since MT. E. L. Wet more killed and skinned a Gila monster. The brute was 21 inches long and unusually finely marked, but the curious feature of the affair was that the heart of the reptile pulsated regularly for more than three hours after it was taken from the body. The pulsations were both full and strong. Even when the valvular portions were separated from the beast the muscles still con tinued to open and close in that organ. This fact was witnessed by a number of our citizens who can testify to the truthfulness of this apparently lying statement.-Citi- zen.

the decline, and is not possessed Of its usual snap aud vim. The JOUR NAL MINER does not like to invade the territory occupied by its es- teemed contemporaries, but 1t serves notice right now on those papers published in the camel district, that if those beasts of burden of the Arizona desert are not trotted out soon by them, this paper will be compelled to interview some weary pr0spector, just in from trip over the desert, who was saved from a horrible death from thirst by cap turing one of these wild animals and riding it slfely to water" We can't afford to let a season pass without a camel story.
 Phenix papers announce that strong efforts are being made to have Zach Booth, sentenced to Yuma for five years for cattle steal ing, pardoned. They state that Congressman Catchings. of Mississ- ippi, has interested himself in his behalf. It is astonishing how readily outside parties can be interested in securing freedom for Arizona crim- inals. It Is not long since, that prominent people of California tock an active interest in securing the pardon of an Arizona murderer, and succeeded in their efforts, too. Three or four of the self same prominent people had theii own characters besmirched on account of their al legged connection with the murder of another citizen of California. Another recent application for exec utive clemency was backed up by Louisiana parties, and now Mississ- ippi gets into the ring to secure the pardon of common, every day cat tie thief. Outsideis should be told
 
 politely, but firmly, by the governor that Arizona is capable of looking after and taking care of her cnm- inals, and that outside influence to secure clemency would not be re- ceived or entertained.
 There is quite an active demand now for mining properties in this section. Mine owners must remem- Der, though, that the time for sell ing a prospect at fabulous price has gone by. Mining is as much a legitimate business as any other business, and tue mining man who understands his business must be able to see what he is buying. A prospect or a mine will only sell for what it shows up. A merchant who wants to buy out the business of another, is not willing to go into the store, take a walk through it, and take the other mans word as to what the shelves contain, and pay for it on that basis. But before buying, he requires an inventory to b. taken, and then pays for just what there is in sight. Just so with the mining man who understands his business. He will pay for just what the mine shows. Another mis- take which is made by many mine owners is misrepresentation of their claims. To represent a claim of having a given quantity of ore in sight, or a vein so many inches wide and of a certain grade, and on OK animation, the actual conditions fall far below the representations, dis gusts a mining man. The party doing so not only fails to sell his own property, but the man whom he attempts to deceive becomes skeptical of all properties.

He Wouldn't Tend the Baby.

The divorce suit of DR.. Mamie A.
Stevens against Ralph Stevens is thor
oughly up to date. Her husband lives
in Wichita, Kas., and she lived there
with him and practised medicine there
till two years ago, when she brought
her children to Kansas City and opened
an Office there.
DR.. Stevens, when she lived in Kan
sas, was a prominent member of the
Women's Federation, which works for
the advancement of women along many
lines which have heretofore been mo-
nopolized by men. The attendance of
DR.. Stevens at the meetings of the
Federation was one of the things that
helped to make Mr.. Stevens irritable,
and caused him to scold her and tell
her that mother ought to leave wo-
mems rights alone and look after her
babies.
On the witness stand DR.. Stevens said
her husband called her "she Doctor
in a tone of voice that implied con-
tempt. When she was consulting with
another doctor down stairs once he
would not put the baby to sleep. He
also told her he was not going to feed
her II she did not attend to her house
hold duties" She said her husband
had two farms and money at interest,
but she would rather be in pursatory
than live with him. The case Is still
on.-Chicago Record.

Ny SIONAVAY.

One night about II o'clock stood at
the stern of a fine Atlantic steamship
which was plowing its way through
the darkness toward America. / lean
ed on the rounded bulwark and enjoyed
a smoke. as l gazed on the luminous
trail the wheel was making in the quiet
sea- Some one touched me on the
shoulder, saying, beg pardon, sir"
and on Strengthening up 1 saw in the
dim light man whom at first took
to be one of the steerage passengers. /

the room was rather restricted in the
passage between the aft wheel-house
and the stern, and / moved aside. Tbs
man looked hurriedly to one side and
then the other, and, approaching, said
in a whisper, I'm starving, sir"
why don't you go and get something
TO eat, then? Don't they give you plen-
ty forward
II suppose they do, sir, but I'm a
stowaway got on at Liverpool. What
little l took with me is gone and for
two days I've had nothing"
Come with me- I'll take you to the
steward, he'll fix you all right"
'Oh, no, no. mol" he creid, trembling
with excitement. "If you speak to any
of the officers or crew I'm lost as
sure you, sir, I'm an honest man; am,
indeed, sir. It's the old story-nothing
but starvation at home, so my only
chance seemed to be to get this way to
America. If I'm caught I shall get
dreadful usage and will be taken back
and put in jail"
"Oh, you're mistaken. The officers
are all courteous gentlemen"
Yes, to you cabin passengers they
are. But to a stowaway-that's a diff
ferent matter. If you can't help me,
sir. please don't inform on me-"
How can 1 help you but by speak,
ing to the captain or purser?"

mitted the chances were much against
