 John Merwin came to town last Sat urday with some as tempting looking double standard ore as one would want to feast his eyes upon. The ore comes from an extension of the Crown Point mine, Walnut Grove district, and there is a vein two feet wide of the richest kind of ore. It is said that when Col. Brodie's camp gets in operation that not less than 75 men will be employed. One of the best stamp mills in Arizona is being put up. It has a capacity Of 20 stamps, but only 10 stamps will De put in as a staTter.-Prescott Courier.
 Adjutant Shane and Captain Morrl- son, the Salvation Army representa- tives who have been in Bisbee for sev- eral days, left this morning for Phoe- nix The ladies created quite 6 kindly feeling in regard to the mOdus Oper- andi of the army while here, and al though they were both suffering from the painful effects of recent Vacclna- tion, they never flinched from what they conceived to be their duty, but were frequently out of evenings hold ing street meetings, thus proving themselves no sluggards in the work in which they are engaged. The ladies have the best wishes of many friends in Risbee wherever their lot may be cast, for they are devoted to an en- nobling cause and the world will be better for their having lived in 1t-Bl5- bee Orb.
 A. F. Brown of San Francisco, who has travelled over Arizona for the past ten years in the interest of the larg- est powder works on the coast, is at the San Augustine for few days. He recently visited the Washington dis trfct in southern Pima county, Whe1e he says there is great deal Of activity principally in the line of copper de- Velopment. The DuqueSne properties, owned by MT. Westinghouse, inventor of the Westinghouse engine, are be- ing developed rapidly and a smelter will soon be placed on the property. A copper mine owned by MT. Chapln is shipping a carload of ore day, and Geo. w Grove is operating there upon a lead mine, which promises good re- suits. There is greater activity in mining in Arizona that 1 have ever seen before" said MT Brown. The rise in copper has set mining men looking for copper mines and the de- velopment that is resulting from their work is bound to open up some good producing mines. l believe that Ari- zona is the greatest copper country Of the world, and its growth is rapid and permanent. .''-TucsOn Citizen.
 There is a petition being circulated for the liberation of Fred G. Hughes from the penitentiary. Although the man, at his age of life, Che is over e0), l has been severely punished, neverthe- less it is our conviction that pity or mercy on him, in the shape of a pardon would be misplaced In consideration of his family however, and the possi- bility that the lesson Of his evil life has sunk into his soul and been learn 1 ed,-and in the further consideration l that he may at any time in the future l be punished for other crimes of which l he stands indicted, should his release | be of no effect-We here make no pro test against the petition. If the con sensus of opinion is that the man ! should be given the chance to end his l days in peace and reformation with his family, so let it be. The case is a i peculiar one. We don't believe it's a | type of inbred criminality We all | know, probably, the main causes of the ! downfall so late in life. But the bed l was made by himself long after Iife's maturity He sinned. Let him suffer. i That's our verdict. Therefore we can not endorse the petition.-Ar1zona i Frontier.
 "One of the strangest teIegrams i ever received, said a Los Angeles | story teller, was from a friend living | Tn Cincinnati, yet who generally spent | ms winters in Los Angeles. It read | something like this: Ash Fork. Jan. Is, 1S9-. Meet me at the Santa Fe depot with suit of clothes and glass | eye, 38-inch chest, 16 collar had read that morning of a bad accident out in Arizona and concluded that my friend must have been in it; though the glass eye part was a mystery. as the last time I saw him he had two good eyes. But I scurried around and got the suit of clothes, and then went 10 the opticians s and got a whole tray or cfockery eyes, and was on hand at the depot when the train pulled in. sure enough, there was my friend. ar rayed in Pullman blanket and with one eyeIess socket. He dOnned the suit and clapped in tho eye, and soon mad him up to the club throwing in rev1ving agencies in the shape of eat abIes and drinhables. He soon got { around to explaining that the train had encountered burning trestle out on the line, and two of the Pullmans caught fire and were destroyed The passengers barely escaped with their Ilves, saving not a stitch of clothing. My friend had an eye taken out before 1. leaving home, and was accustoming himself to wearing a glass substitute It was uncomfortable. and at night he was ln the habit of taking it out Thus it was destroyed, with all the rest ot his belongings
