THE LITTLE WIDOW

At No. Glenville road. a large.
Hquarely-built house OF somewhat an
clent appearance. lived an elderly Wild
ow, her two sons and her niece, the
latter of whom had been engaged to
the elder son, Edwin, for the last ten
years, and who seemed as near her
wedding day at the time of her be-
trothal as at the time our story opens.
But Miss Lancaster was seemingly
content with life until the little cot
tage on the opposite side of the road
at last secured tenant, a circum-
stance which Mr.. Edwin seemed tc
take an extraordinary interest in, since
the tenant was remarkably prepos-
sessing little woman-a widow rich In
the possession Of small annual in
come and very pretty face.
MISS Lancaster gave way to grief.
ana was found one day by her young
er cousin, Herbert, sobbing as II her
heart would break on the sofn.
Whats up, Grace?" said he anxious

some time. What's troubling your"
And Miss Lancaster's pride, which
had been dissolved in her tears. gave
way altogether, and she confided her
woes to her sympathetic listener, and
asked his advice as to whether she
should give his brother his freedom.
Nonsense" said Herbert warmly.
'Ted's all right. It's the woman's
fault. You know men are very suscep-
tible to pretty women who run after
them. He's lots fonder of YOU"
That evening Herbert made up his
mind to interfere for the first time in
other peoples business. Edwin was
going bit too FAR and the affair must
be stopped. He unused for long time
on the best manner Of doing II, and
at last decided that the wisest thing
to do was to make love to the widow
himself, even Mt the risk OF offending
the young lady he had set his affections
on.
And he did, too, and found making
love To the widow a very easy and
pleasant undertaking. Nearly every
evening he spent at the cottage, and
the little widow, delighted Mt her new
conquest, became so cold about her
former one that success for his scheme
was promised from the first She was
so pretty and had such winning man.
ncrs that before long the younger
brother began to excuse the elder for
his infatuation and feel sorry for him
and his unfortunate engagement
One afternoon, after escorting the
widow home from n walk, Herbert

COPPER IS THE METAL.
The Cochise Copper Mining Company,
 Bisbee, Arizona.

This company owns a very valuable group of mines situated in Warren mining district, county of Cochise Arizona, lying immediately east of and adjoining the town of Bisbee, and ad- Joining the property of the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company on the north. The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result hes produced copper to over 34,000,000 pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,000, ,000, and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under its em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years without further de- velopCnent. v st
 Is it not, reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company Is fully as valuable, when it is: within such close proximity to such a won derful mine? "- ,"J' '",5
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the, concussion has attracted marked attention.
 The original owners of these valu. able mines are local business men, we'll and favorably known in Bisbee and surrounding vicinity, who are doing their utmost to make this enterprise a success in every respect. The board ot directors are original owners, and are donating their services to the com pany until such time as the mine will pay dividends. They own the con- trolling interest in this property. and as a protection to stockholders have placed, their entire interest in escrow for a term of one year.
 The stock books of our company are now open for subscriptions, and lim- ited number of shares are offered at ten cents. per share. No application for less than 100 shares will be ac- cepted.
 The company reserve the right at any time to advance the price of shares without further notice, or to reject any application for stock at their discre- tion.
 Every cent received from the sale of stock will be expended toward the de- 'velopment of our property and the erection of hoisting works, and all other necessary improvements, and to make our enterprise a success in every particular.
 We invite investigators and their experts or their engineers to closely scrutini2e our property.
 Applications for shares may be made to any of the directors of the com pany, or to any of our legally author. ised representatives.
