these mines, and he thinks they will become valuable properties. The ore
 body is already of a permanent char acter with considerable width and an average value of thirty-one per cent copper and small values in gold. It promises to become mine which will rank in importance with the United
 Verde, it's next door neighbor.
 The Mining Review says of Deer Creek, in Graham county, that it has long teen known to contain valuable mineral deposits among which are both coal and copper. To effect this a recent act of congress authorized the cession from the bulk of the re- servation all of that portion lying on the south side of the GiIa river through which the Gila valley, Globe and Northern railway connecting with the Southern Pacific at Bowie station runs, passing through the county generally as well, twenty-five miles through the ceded portion con taining the mineral land The coal is said to be of good quality for cok- ing and the copper deposits are in the same vicinity.

The Legend OF the Dipper

There is a pretty story which tells how
the seven stars came To form the dipper.
once in a country far away the people
wer" dying Of thirst. There had been no

and flowers had withered and died. The

The whole land was sad and mournful.

to a wood near by. kneeling down under
a tree. she folded her hands and PRAYED
that God would send rain. if it were only
enough to fill her little dipper She pray
Ell SO long that at last she fell asleep.
When she awokc she was oVerjoycd to
ma her dippcr fun of clear, cool water.
Remembering that her dear mother was
i'll and dying of thirst. she did not even
wait 40 moiSten her parChed lips. but talk
ing up her dippcr sh" hurried home. In
her haste she stumbled and alas, dropped
her precious cup. Just then she felt
something move in the grass beside her
1t was little dog who like herself, had
almost tainted for want Of water. She
lifted her dipper. and what was her sur
prise to find that not Il drop had been
spilled. Pouring out few drops on her
hands she held it out for the dog to lick.
He did so and seemed much revived. but
as she poured out the water the tin dipper
had changed to one of beautiful silver.
Reaching home as soon as possible, she
handed the water to the servant to give
it to her mother
ooh. said her mother, Il will not take
it. | shall not live anyhow. You are
younger and stronger than l."
AS She gave the servant the dippcr it
changed into shining gold. The servant
was just about to give each person in the
house a spoonful of the precious water
when she saw a stranger at the door. He
looked sad and weary and she handed
him the dipper of water. He took it, say
ing:
blessed is he that gives a cup of cold

studded with seven sparkling diamonds
Then it burst forth into a fountain. which

seven diamonds rose higher until they

Facts About the Shoe Factory.

\ great deal of talk has been made
upon our street in regard to the wages
paid by the shoe factory in this city.
As is We'll known, the Commonwealth
Shoe and Leather Company of Whit
man, Mass, is one of the best in the
country. BY hard work. they We're
secured to occupy factory in this city
which was to have been built to suit
them, and be exempted from taxes and
furnished power for five wears. The
board of trade took hold Of their part
of the work with a Will and a modern
factory was erected. 1t was expected
that when it started up il would give
employment to many of the hands
about town who had worked in the
other factory when it was running.
When operations began. experienced
men were brought from Massachusetts
to act as foremen of the shop and to all
old help about town a privilege was
extended to Try the work This they
did, the greater part Of them working
by the piece, nearly the same prices
being paid as in all shoe factories. The
work was very different and new
methods We're introduced so that not so
much work could be turned out by the
men as i'm the old shop. Then again,
the prices have gone down very much
since then. The expectations of the
men We're somewhat dampened. and
because they We're not making from
So to SIS week they started stories
about the starvation prices pail.
Looking into the matter a cause can be
found out and many untruths run
down. Experienced men from away
were found and they We're engaged.
and since have found no fault about
the prices paid, neither do those who
work by the day. Beginners at the
business are now fast improving and
are making good wages. AS Yet the
factory is unable to turn out as many
cases a day as it would like to and this
keeps the work slack in some depart
ments, and the help are not able to
make what they could if all depart
ments We're running full. This will
probably be overcome as the number of
cases day will soon be increased. 50
many orders are ahead that it is neces-
sary. one or two instances may be
cited in regard to the wages earned.
one man went to work and continued
he left. He claimed he could not make
81 a day, work as hard as he could.
The matter was looked into and it was
found that his average weeks wages
for the last three weeks was $12 40
When confronted by the truth he gave
in. but no excuse was offered. An
other was when a man had hired out
as an experienced workman. He went
at it and made about 81 a day. He
left and a man from Whitman came
down. He went at it on the same ma
chine and he made over S.. 30 a day.
The first one learned from him and
soon could make $3.50 easy, but then
they could not use him. From Just
such sources as these have rumors
started which are found to be wholly
without any truth, but a great injury
to the city, factory and help. There is
every reason to believe that a prosper
Gus future is in store for the factory
and all hope it every success and even
now its pay roll of $1,000 a week is ia :
Vorably felt in the business life of our
city.
