SOMETHING TO LOVE.
Pathetic Story of q French Convict and
His Pet Rat.


His Pet Rat.
A French convict, under sentence
for life, was troublesome prisoner.
At times he was very violent, and
in the intervals of bis violence he
became SO sullen that the warders
were always on the lookout for trou-
BILE.
One day they saw change in the
mans face. It's sullenness had dis
appeared. The prisoner looked al
most happy. The ghost of a smile
lowered about his lips. His eye now
and again turned downward, and it
became evident that something was
hidden in his breast.
The warders were uneasy. Had
he some weapon concealed beneath
his clothing with which he would
seek to surprise them and regain his
libertyG They must find out.
They watched their opportunity,
and two of them suddenly fell upon
him from behind, each seizing an
arm. Then they began to search
him. They found that for which
they sought, but it was not a knife
or other dangerous weapon. 1t
was nothing more harmful than a
fine large rat.
When it was discovered, the dis
tress of the prisoner was intense He
broke down utterly, fell upon his
knees and, in an agony of fear and
desperation cried: Don't kill him
Beat me if you like, chain me, but if
l may not keep him let my poor rat
60 free!'
The stern guards were moved to
pity. They had never seen this man
subdued before. Every trace of
ferceness was gone Instead of
hurting the rat, they let it drop to
the floor and disappear. Then the
man rose and went to his work. The
light had all gone from his face.
His pet was lost to him.
A few days passed, and then,
while the convicts were at work in
the yard moving wood, the prison
er Jose felt something tickle his
cheek. He turned quickly and utter
ed cry of joy. There, on his shout
der, was the only friend he had in
the world, his rat, which had found
him out and come creeping up to his
face.
With eager hands he put it in his
breast, as before, and, turning to the
head jailer, said, "Sir, if you will
only let me keep this rat solemnly
promise to submit to you in every
way and never to disobey you
again"
The permission was given, and the
man, with glad smile, returned to
his work. From that day the dread
ed convict was new being. He be-
came the best conducted man in the
prison, and his great strength and
energy were used to help the gov
ernor.
The rat was seldom away from
him. 1t shared his meals and slept
in his bed, and the mans spare time
was spent in making little toys of
bone which he sold in order to buy
dainties, such as sugar and ginger
bread, for his pet.-Youth' Com
panion.

RIVAL OF CRIPPLE CREEK.
Eldora Gold Camp in Colorado Is Said
 to Be Marvelously Rich.

Colorado Springs, Col, Feb. 1S.-The Eldora gold camp, situated about 125 miles northwest of this city and which was not known a few months a few months ago, is believed by men of mining experience and who are in position to judge to be camp which will in time prove a rival of the fa- nous Cripple Creek district.
 Eldora, town of 1000 population. IS the center of the camp which takes it's name. About two miles east of this town is the E1dora town site. which is jealous rival of the older town and which is enjoying an activ- 1ty in real estate almost unprece- dented.
 The camp is about thirty-two miles long and eight miles wide and abounds in gold, silver, iron, sulphide, sylvanite and tellurium. Gold was discovered in this region several years ago, but no excitement was created until about eight months ago. when prospecting began in earnest. Since then values upward of $10O per ton in gold have been discovered. The camn now has forty shipping mines.
 Eldora will soon have railroad con- nectlons. The first to reach the field will probably be built by the Colorado Northwestern Railroad company. But little prospecting can be done at pres ent, owing to deep snow, but the hills about the camp are being rapidly staked and people are rushing in tc be ready for operations in the spring

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WEST

When we contemplate the great
 results the stockmen of the west have
 accomplished in developing and civil
 izing the far west until today we see
 in it the great granary and stock
 range of the new world. Then on the
 other hand, we fall to wondering
 about the egregious blunders in na-
 tional policy of out statesmen because of a provincialism which comes from
 their limited acquaintance with all parts of the country, the destinies of
 which they shape in great degree
 Then, too, comes to mind the posi-
 tion taken by the illustrious Daniel
 Webster who once took a stand against this country in the senate in an open tirade in which he said among other things: What do we want with this vast, worthless area? This region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands, and whirl- winds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or those endless mountain ranges, inn
 penetrable, and covered to their very base with eternal snow? What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of over 5000 miles, rock bound, cheerless, uninviting, and not harbor on it? I will never vote one cent from the public treasury to place the west one inch nearer to Boston than it is.''
 Sometimes, in their flights of ora tory and intensity of feeling, a proph- etic inspiration rests upon great po- | litical leaders. But it was not so with Webster. Providence was more kind l to the western empire and to the re- public as we'll than Mr. Webster would
 have been, for the great west has to- 1 tally proven the fallacy of the position | which the great statesmen had so in- consistently taken. It's hills and wales have given to the worlds treasury l hundreds of millions of dollars in the precious metals and other products and have afforded homes and prosper l ity to tens of millions of people. It is today feeding a nation which otherwise ! might go hungry and for which not
 one iota of credit or thanks is ever
 extended to it. The fact remains to- day that with the east played out agri-
 culturally it must depend upon its
 neighbor, the west, for it's very sub sistence and to it we are required to | give each day it's daily bread, and
 meat as well in order that it may live | Oh, the west is all right and the east does not have to pass us bouquets. We
 have our own flower gardens and can 1 grow all we want.-Denver Field and l Farm.

Cochise county is about to be bonded negotiations looking favorable to an agreement. The Dragons are coming to the fore and the time is not far dis tant when we hope to see our oft re- peated prophecy fulfilled that this range will present busy hive of min ing industry from one end to the other
 Dr. Purcell of Tucson is out looking after his mining interests and expects to be gone three or four weeks. Dr. Griffith is taking care of the county patients during the doctors absence.
 Nat Faison and party left Tucson for Silver Bell district Wednesday, where they have some good copper proper ties bonded which are being worked with good force of men.
 The shaft of the Grown Point mine, in Castle Creek district, forty miles north of Phoenix, at the depth of 200 feet, has tapped an ore body in its four foot ledge that runs several thou sand dollars to the ton in gold. The owners of the claim are much excited over the find, and have put guards with rifles over the ore dump. The discovery has invited the greatest ac- tivity in neighboring properties and prospectors by the score are work ing over the hills in the vicinity.
 The Sterling Placer company, with which s. B. Fuller is connected, and which owns $500 acres of placer ground in Walnut Grove, Yavapai county, has a number of men at work on it's claims. They have placed an order with an eastern manufacturing g firm for the manufacture of a large steam shovel for handling their gray el. It will weigh about seventy tons and has a capacity for moving twenty tons of gravel at once. It will take several weeks yet to complete it, and when completed it will be placed in position near the old Pete Verdier ranch on the Hassayampa.
 John Vasserlich is in from the Rim con mountains. Near Happy Valley, John has a copper camp in which he has done much work and taken out considerable first class ore. His prop erty consists of seven claims and the lodges are of various width. One shipment of ore to Bisbee went 23 and another 19 per cent. The latter was unsorted ore. Considerable develop ment work consisting of tunnels, open cuts and shafts to the extent of sev- eral hundred feet has been done MT Vasserlich is here for the purpose of finding buyer or at least some one who will take an interest in the mines with him and help develop them Tucson Citizen.
 Jim Wilson's trial on a charge oi petty larceny takes place before us at o'clock this afternoon and will be of particular interest, owing to the novel defense that the defendant of fers. He says he was hypnotized by Charlie Sheperd and did not know what he was doing when he stole that pup from Pete Curley. We have never heard of case in which hypnotism was permitted as a defense, but we are not narrow-mind- ed and have decided to make a test case of this. If Charlie Sheperd can hypnotize Wilson and make him pay two years subscription to the Dig ger" in advance we will believe there is something in it. If he can't Wilson will have to serve his six months Dawson Digger.

DAMAGE OF THE BRANDING IRON

It may seem a matter of small i'm portance to the range cattlemen of the west as to how their cattle are branded for identification, and it is likely that thought of the great loss that ensues from unwise branding has not been considered at all. The i'm pression of the red-hot iron insures evidence of ownership at the round up, which, primarily, accomplishes the object sought, and the subject is drop ped from the mind. But there is an after consideration, and which is bound to effect disastrously all that are engaged in cattle raising. The millions of cattle that are so branded go to the final market depreciated in value in the aggregate, to an extent that is truly alarming, and should suf- ficiently impress the cattlemen of the west that some better means of recog- | nizing their stock should be resorted to, not so damaging in it's results.
 The money loss estimated from this source alone is more than $3,O0O,O 900 every year. It is upon the tanned 1 leather from the hides that this inn mense loss falls, and the branding iron is responsible for it. In the Chi cago market at the present time a hide Of western slaughter leather is quoted at 12 cents, if it is free from brands, while in all other respects brings but 81A cents a pound. The latter would command the higher fig ure but for the brand A shrewd buy CT of butchers cattle on the market scrutinizes this feature well before making his offers, and is guided large ly thereby in the price he is willing to pay. for the perfect, unmutilated hide forms no inconsiderable part of in- come from the bullock's offal h. stances of this kind are very numer- ous, and expert buyers of western cat tie are often deterred from payins top prices for bunch of steers whicf
 are in every other way wholly quail
 fled to sell for the highest prices o1
 the day, but the brand prevents theil
 being considered in that class, whicf
 causes heavy discount to be made } and this, of course, falls upon th' feeder
 ! The claim is made that there is nt reason for a brand to exceed fou
 inches square, and the range man us ing a larger one is simply burning tn , money that should go into his pocket l Many branding marks are more thai } double this size, and are often applie 7 to those parts of the hide which ar
 choicest and of most value as tame f leather so it can be readily seen tha
Arizona republican., 1898-02-19

great financial loss and damage is sure to result. If large brand, then, is so destructive to values. a small one is proportionately so, and in the best in terest of those concerned, it is of vital importance that some plan be devised by which the branding Iron may be dispensed with altogether. To the in ventive genius who will introduce method of identification, reaching that end, and that will be effective and satisfactory, there is a fortune awaiting, which will be accompanied by the thanks of the range men all over western feeding grounds yer Field and Farm.

RANDSBURG.
More Stamp Mills Going Up at Va
 riOus Mines.

One of the best-advertised mines ln the Rand district has recently declar- ed a dividend of per cent thus mak- ing a good showing. The directors Of this company may not know that the laws of that state make it felony for an incorporated company to declare an unearned dividend, for the very obvious reason that such dividend is misleading and calculated to influence the sale of stock to persons who only judge from the reports sent out.
 A new ten-stamp mill has recently gone out to the state range, about ninety miles from Mohava and abont forty from Randsburg. The mill will go up on the old Meredith mine, own ed by San Jose parties, situated about fourteen miles distant to the east of the borax works in the Slate range. The mine shows a ledge seven feet in thickness and part of it is very rich, all of it paying for milling. Nine and one-half tons recently shipped to Sel- by's Smelling Works at San Francisco gave net return, after deducting ship ping and smelting charges, of S1 ,956 45.
 Out in the same country, but to the west in the Argus range, is the Inyo Consolidated, owned by Los Angeles parties. F. F. Davis is president, and Fleishman of the Farmers and Mer- chants Bank is treasurer. They have ten-foot vein of ore, much of it show ing assays of $50 per ton The same parties own another ledge near the former, with vein of ore from two feet to thirty inches, which assays big, one assay recently running up to s259. They are figuring on erecting ten stamp mill near their mines, water being more easily reached than in this locality.
 The new stamp mill of Messrs. Quinn & Pridham is up and inclosed, and now only awaits the arrival of the engine to set the stamps in motion. The contract to furnish a 1O,0OO-gallon redwood tank, to be set on the hill above the mill to hold the water sup ply, has been let, and it will soon be in place
 The Wedge peaple- have sent an- other f1fty-ton batch of ore to the new mill at Johannesburg, and while run ming on this ore, part of the machinery broke and parts had to be ordered from Los Angeles, causing a delay of several days. The ore is of high grade and is expected to yield handsomely.

RICH PLACERS IN MEXICO.

Otto Jensen, whose family resides in St. Louis arrived in El Paso from Chihuahua, Mex, with more than $500 in gold dust, which he cleaned up from placer located in the Sierra Madre mountains near Casa Grande. He banned out the $500 in three months.
 Jensen refuses to divulge the loca- ton of the placer grounds. He left for St. Louis to bring out his family and brother, and says he will clean up S1O,OO0 or more in gold this year with out the use of machinery.
