IMPORTANT DEAL.
Seven Copper Claims Bonded-Work
 to Begin at Once.

Globe Silver Belt: A mining deal was closed on Tuesday which, it is confidently believed, will have an i'm portant bearing on the further develop ment and prosperity of Globe district. Judge E. J. Edwards, acting for Col. James A. Fleming and Dr J. M. Ford of Phoenix, secured bonds on seven copper claims in Webster gulch, which are pronounced by experts to be among the most promising copper properties in Arizona. The claims are all on the same ledge which has an average width of over thirty feet, and the To- cation is such that it can be easily opened and the ore treated by the teaching process at low cost.
 We are not at liberty just now to give details of the transaction, but will say that the amount of money involved is very large. w. w. Hill of Phoenix is expected to arrive here next week to immediately begin work Every one of the seven claims will be thor oughly exploited. Mr. Hill is a min ing man of recognized ability, who had more to do than any other man of with demonstrating the value of the Jerome mines, and was in charge of the United Verde companys mines at Je- rome for years.
 Messrs Ford and Fleming, the pros pective purchasers, are men of wealth and influence, capable of organizing a strong company.
 Judge Edwards is to be congratu- lated on the success of this, his first mining deal, which we hope will re- dound to his benefit as well as to the interest of Globe.

INDiAE@ STOiC!SM.,
Choctaw Works Eight Up tc the Day of
 His EXecuticn.


 His Execution.
 The stoicism of the North American Indian is proverbial. In the long ago when one tribe warred against another, Indian prisoners were accustomed to stand torture without finching. The race may have degeneratcd, but it's re- markable characteristic is still con- spicuous. A story told by a western citizen to a Washington Star reporter furnishes good illustration of the in- difference with which even the Indian of to-day views death: ''In the Choc- Jaw Indian nation there is no jail in which convicted murderers are con- fined," said he. When I first went to the Indian territory 1 settled in the Choctaw nation, and hearing that a cer- tain Indian was an excellent hand on the ranch, 1 hunted him up and asked him if he would work for me. I will work until the goth of next month,' he said. Why not longer?' I inquired. I am to be hanged the 21st,' was his re- ply, in an unconcerned way. I hired him, and upon inquiry learned that what he said was true But one man has ever failed to return for hanging after he has been sentenced, and my Indian did not prove an exception to the rule. On the day before the execu- tion was to take place he left as calmly as though going on a visit, and the hang ing took place at the time appointed. Notwithstanding his approaching doom the Indian made one of the best ranch CTS l ever saw, and I regretted to lose him."

CELIA COUNTS RESOURCES.
MT Hunt Will Supply the Data for
 Governor Franklin's Report.

Globe Silver Belt: Under date of May 22 Governor Franklin reveals, in a letter to Hon. Geo. w. P. Hunt, the dilemma in which he is placed by reason of the short time allowed for the preparation of his report to the secretary of the interior for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896, and re- quests: "You will, without appoint ment, please make an elaborate report on the resources of your county, and be kind enough to send the same to me by the 10th or 18th of July
 MT. Hunt, realizing the benefit likely to accrue to Gila county by the exten- sive publication of the report, which will be given it as an official document has acquiesced in his eXcellency's re- quest. Therefore, it behooves those interested in the welfare of our county to extend to Mr. Hunt helping hand by assisting him in procuring the de- sired information, that the report may be as complete as it is possible to make it in the brief time allowed.
 As there are no emoluments at tached to the work, MT. Hunt is de serving of much credit for undertak- ing the task, which we may be assured will be intelligently and acceptably discharged. MT Herbert Brown, ed itor of the Arizona Citizen, than whom there is no one better qualified, vii perform the same service for Pima county.
 The commissioners appointed 1T other counties have undertaken the work with the same understanding that they will receive no compensation the immigration act having been de clared by the court unconstitutional.

THE BUCKET SHOP.

A Woman Who Wanted Large Lots of
 Buckets, Hut No Grain.
 A well-known citizen who resides in Northwest Washington is patron of a certain bucket shop, says the Wash ington Star. His wife was informed of the fact and accused him of it with so much directness that he could not deny it.
 You made $2OO on buckets in some shop, didn't you?" she demanded to know.
 Certainly, dear. You see the war in Cuba creates a great demand for buck cts, and there is a place where you can give your orders and sell them again at profit.
 Nothing more was said, but the wife concluded to make some money on buckets and not let her husband know it. In some way she learned the location of the bucket shop, and going down town told who she was, and said:
 q want $10O worth of buckets. The same kind my husband bought.
 Ut is a little risky to-day, madam '' said the proprietor, who did not want to explain the operations of the place.
 T don't care" she urged. Here's the money. I'll come after the buck cts tomorrow"
 The next day she appeared and was informed that the buckets had been bought and sold at $1OO advance, but that the supply was exhausted and they were going into the wheat and corn business until more could be manufac- tuned.
 T don't want any wheat or corn," she said; but ain't it mean. I cant buy any more buckets?" And the husband congratulates himself on how he sue ceeded in getting u" lEe.;Ct hop pro prietor to stop his r.ifc's Gc;;.:!!..,, rs with out revealing the.r ratg,"n while she is spring hat ard drccs ahead

\ Small Land Grant,

What beyond doubt is the smallest body of land ever granted by the United States as a homestead is in Dade, the extreme southeastern county of the state of Florida. It consists of small island in the north end of LGl;e Worth. and it is less than one-fourth of an acre in extent. Yet the claim for it was en- tered in the land office at Gainesville, and the owner Eaid five dollars for the about $S0 a month from his investment, as the island is right in the path of green and loggcrhead turtles coming into the lake from the ocean to feed, and there he catches them.

SUGAR IN TOBACCO.
Three Kinds Discovered Heretofore Un-
 known to Chemists.

A recent number of the New Bulletin (English) contains some particulars of very interesting problem, which some years ago was submitted by the treas ury to the Kew authority.
 The question was: Does natural sugar occur in tobacco? and in the investiga- tion of this point some striking facts have been brought to light. The treas ury authorities were, of course, chiefly interested from a fiscal point of view, the duty on tobacco (other than cigars) being As Cd, except in thecase of sweet ened" tobacco, which is charged at Is 10d, but cigarettes made of the sweet cned article are not allowed to be i'm ported at all. Before this investiga- tion it was generally admitted that to- bacco did not contain more than a trace of saccharine matter.
 On the advice of Prof. Church, Dr. Hugo Miller was called in, the latter ! making a thorough examination of the question. Commercial samples oi bright Virginia tobacco, undoubtedly | free from adulterat;on, were found to contain as much as. 15.2 per cent. of Haccharine matter. Sun-dried leaves of
 nicotiara tabacum, grown at Kew, con-
 ta,ned G.2 ger cent, and those of the
 same species grown at Ewell railway
 station as much as 9 per cent. Dr. l Miller finds the saccharine matter tc Ee opticaily inactive when tested by the
 polariscope. He is of the opinion tha1
 neither cane sugar nor glucose is pres
 ent in the saccharine matter, but that il
 is composed of at least three sugar-like
 substances, probably hitherto un' l known.

HIS HEART DESLOCATED.

 Wanted Prof. Stratton to Find It with
 the \ Rays.
 A good story is going around the campus of the University of Chicago. On recent Saturday afternoon while Prof. Stratton, of the department of physics, together with an assistant, was busy working over the anode-cathode-N- ray problem, and incidentally wonder ing whether Chicago was beating Ilinois-his alma amater-down at Cham paign, timid knock was heard at the laboratory door The knocker was told to enter the sanctum, the floor of which was strewn with the debris of tubes which had been tested and found want ing.
 When the professor looked up from his work he beheld middle-aged man, who appeared to be of the laboring class. He was accompanied by a friend. He anxiously inquired whether he had reached the place where the X rays were dispensed free of charge. He was told there was none on tap, but new consignment was looked for every min ute from which great results were ex- pected. The .questioner then told pa thetic tale of how he was suffering from ''dislocation of the heart,' and wished the ''new light" turned on to as- certain the exact whereabouts of that body. He was told that nothing could be done-his case was far too serious to be experimented upon. The poor fellow left the room with look of dis appointment on his honest face and was last seen slowly vending his way to- ward the Illinois Central.

 from Hopeful.
 At theater where the seats are not numbered and to which I had gone early to get a good scat" said man, 'I found just the seat l wanted, in the fourth row from the front. In the seat man; the seat immediately back of him was vacant, and the seat back of that ard directly in front of me was occu pied by a small boy, sitting between his father and mother; so that besides good location, I had an unobstructed view, which was one of the things l had in mind in choosing the seat Of course, l had to take the chances on the vacant seat, but the chances were at least even that it would be occupied by a man, and if it was taken by woman there was a chance that she would not wear big hat.
 When the theater filled up that seat was taken by a woman, and she had on hat which would have covered the grass plot in front of house in the suburbs, and there grew upon it flowers and things as tall as the hollyhocks in the front yard of a house in the coun try.
 But she had no sooner taken the seat than she raised her hands and lifted the hat off; my view was quite unoo- structed after all, and I felt that I had reason to be grateful

INDIANS WANT SILVER.
They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Pape
 Money.

They Have No Use for Gold Coin or Paper
 Money.
 If the silver question were left to the Sioux Indians to be decided, says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader, they would speedily decide it in a manner that would prove perfectly satisfactory to the advocates of free silver coinage. The Sioux are naturally in favor of free silver coinage. principally because silver is more easily counted by 4hem than any other kind Of money. White Ghost, the venerable head of the Crow Creek Sioux, in discussiug the money question Wl.te in town recently, ad vanced some peculiar ideas regarding money, whicii are undoubtedly shared by practically every member of the Sioux nation. He says that when the government pays the people on his reservation the S19S,O00 due to them, he wants it Faid in silver dollars. Gold is detested by the Indians because the coins are so small when the sum they represent is taken into consideration White Ghost said he could not under stand why ten-dollar bill should not be just ten times as large as a one-dollar bill. He thinks the government should increase the size of bills in proportion to the sum they represent, even if it was necessary that $1OO bill should be as large as horse blanket. If the government persists in paying them partly in bills, they would like to see the change made. But silver dollars are what the Indians want, even should they receive them in such quantities that they would have to be transported to their agencies in wagons.
