Paid 1t In n Hurry.

Some years ago a woman was re-
turning late at night from a social
function down at the lower end Of the
Old Colony railroad. She took to the
track as the shortest way home, but In
crossing a small trestle above the coun-
try road she made a misstep and In
falling broke her neck. The next day
her husband called on the superin-
tendent. and while not appearing to be
very deeply grieved over his loss, yet
he felt that he was entitled to some
compensation for the untimely ending
OF his wife.
"She was trespassing," replied the
superintendent, (which relieves the
company from all responsibility"
II know It," replied the man. 'but
she was good woman about the
house. and | hardly know what am
going to do without her."
"Well on what basis will you set

his seat. Upon recovering he paid the

account. as he felt that the experience
was well worth the price.-Boston

Lung. therefore, when be looked upon
little All Moy and saw that she was
beautiful and young, at once fell down
and worshiped, figuratively speaking,
and began to investigate as to his
chances Of making her his wife.
Now, Chow Sam Lung was young

by profession, being the keeper of a
gambling house In San Francisco. But
the cruel parents of All Moy had prom
ised her to old man Low How for bis
fourth wife and would not retract their
promise. Did Chow Sam Lung sit down
and bewail his lot? Not at all. He at
once made her fathers acquaintance,
and, Deguillng him into his gambling
place. proceeded to let him play and
win. Then he played and lost. And
Chow Sam Lung said; mo matter, you
are my friend. l will trust you"
After awhile the old man owed Chow
Sam Lung $1,4O0. Now, old man Low
How was to give All Moy's father
$1,000 on her wedding day, but when
New Years came, and every China
man must pay his debts before he can
paste his prayer in the josshouse, All
Moy's dad was short and failed to
raise the $1.4O0. So Chow Sam Lung,
who had previously taken a mortgage

ARIZONA COPPER MINES ARE IN.
EXHAUSTIBLR.

From New York Commercial, October 25 1899.
W. B. Thompson has Just returned
from the copper districts of AriEsna,
where he closed the sale Of the
Hughes-Shannon copper mines at Cliff
ton, Arizona, to the Thompson Invest
ment Co. Of Butte, Montana, and New
York City. The consideration was
s5Oo,0OO. e. B. Hotter, of Helena,
Montana, is one Of the purchasing
parties,
Speaking of the future OF copper
mining 10 Arizona Mr.. Thompson said:
IT heartily agree with the state
meut Of James A. Murray, banker
and mine owner of Butte, Montana,
He has inspected the copper districts
OF Arizona and says that the territory
has mnre copper than can be mined in
500 years. They have copper there,
be says, for the coming millions.
Arizona, from what l observed, has
brighter future than Butte, Mon
tana. 1t is simply question of the
country the development Of which has
been neglected. While great num-
Der of properties are being opened,
the output Of the Arizona copper dis
tricts could be increased 10 times over.
"The ptlnciple mines are working
full time, The Arizona Copper Co.'S
mines are some of the active ones, and
will produce in the neighborhOod Of
10000, ,000pounds OF copper this year.
The Hushes-Shannon mines, which
are adjecent to those Of the Arizona
Copper Co. will be in operation soon.
1.-THE Metcalf mine OF the latter
company Is working open cuts 300 feet
wide. The top has virtually been
taken off the mountain where this
mine is located. One man does the
blasting for 40 shovolers.
There are only four districts in
Arizona where copper is mined, but
the production, as compared with the
limited area undet..sdevelopment is
immense.
"The growth Of the copper mining
industry in Arizona is shown by a
comparison Of the production Of the
leading mines during the years 1898
and 1898.
"The Arizona Copper Co. produced
in 1893, 1871, ,810 pounds, and in 1898,
IS, 169,096 pounds. The production" ":of
the Copper Queen in 1893 was 13,795,-
6lS pounds and in 1898, 33,749, 800
pounds. The Detroit. produced 4, 942,-
1913 pounds in 1893, and II, ,428, ,992 in
in 1895. The production of the United
Verde in 1898 was 9,12l ,146 pounds,
and in the year 1898, AZ, ,32s, ,962 pounds.
"The total production OF copper
during the period mentioned increased
from 43,773,675 pounds to ll0,823, 1864
pounds. This year the production is
expected to reach 14O,0O0,OOo pounds.
THE total output OF the Montana
mines during the year 1898 was 2l6,-
979, 1884 pounds"
