THE CAMP OF MORENCI Work of the Detroit
 Company. Rich Mines and Great Smelt-
 ing Plant. A Place Where Chicken Fighting Is the Popular Sabbath
 Diversion.

MORENCI. Ariz, March 12.-(Spe- cial Correspondence of The Republi- can.)-Morenci is a wondeful camp; wonderful in wealth and wonderful in wickedness. As a copper producer it is the peer of many of which Arizona boasts. It is difficult to attempt to segregate Morenci and her industries from the great copper region of Gra- ham county, and do the district jus tice, as it is only small subdivision of the greatest mining belt of Amer ica, which contains such properties as the Longfellow, Coronado and Metcalf mines. As have not made myself fla miliar with the Arizona Copper cam pany's properties, this communication will be confined to observations in the immediate vicinity of the headquarters of the Detroit Copper company.
 The company owns group of claims covering large area of territory, the most productive being the Blue, Mon tezuma, Arizona Central, Yankee and Riorson. There are equipped with steam hoists and every appliance nec- essary flor handling the immense quan- tity of ore daily extracted. A perfect network of twenty,inch gauge railroad of almost inconceivable grade spans the ravines and circles the steep hill sides, on which diminutive engines haul the ores from the mines to the smelters, where the cars are auto matically dumped into large receiving bins, then passed through crushers and prepared for concentrating, roast ing and smelting. There are three SO-ton water jacket stacks in active operation. A new concentrator has just been completed and three rever- beratory roasters are in course of con- struction and will be ready for opera tion in a few weeks, when the matte and bullion output will be materially increased.
 William Church, the president of the company, personally supevises the plant since the death last week oi General Superintendent L. L. Sweeney who has been manager for many years and whose loss is deeply deplored by the company and every individual ir the district Gordon Mclean is su- perintendent of the mines and W.

A RESPITE FOR LARES.
Probably One VIII Be Given Pending
 Official Investigations.

April 3 was the day set for the ex- ecution in Florence of Jesus Lares. convicted of the murder of Doll, on the San Pedro, near Mammoth, about a year ago. There is possibility. however, that the span of the life of Senor Lares may be extended beyond that time. For several days Governor Hughes has been receiving telegrams and letters asking both that the sen tence be commuted and that the law be allowed to take its averaging course T. is affirmed by those who press the cause of mercy that new testimony is at hand that shows Lares to be inno- cent.
 The matter has been carefully weighed by the executive, and though he has turney the petitions over to the attorney-general for considration, it s thought probable that at least a respite will be granted Bares till such time as bhe pending investigations shall have been concluded.

Pleasant Way of Selecting a Wife Prac-
ticed in Naples
In the church of Santa Maria Annun-
ziata, at Naples, girls assemble once a
year for the purpose OF being chosen
In marriage. On the day of Our Lady,
before its altar kneels a silent row OF
30 girls dressed in black, and with
folded hands. They are orphans of the
neighboring founding asylum, and
tnce a year those who have reached
the age of Is have Il chance Of being
chosen in marriage by any honest man
whose character Is good.
At she door leading to the sacristy,
says the Richmond Star, stands a
gray haired priest, the head of the
founding institution. BY and by a
young man approaches him and hands
him packet of papers. These the
priest rebds carefully, and, being sat
tsfied, leads the candidate toward the
row of girls. The man walks slowly
along the row-at last he stops; his
choice is made, and he stretches out his
hand. The girl rises, puts out her hand
into that of the stranger by way OF
consent, and together they disappear
Into the sacristy. The ice having been
broken others follow, and this goes OF
until the suitors are exhausted, or all
the girls have been chosen.
