 When the steam got low he would give
 the rear mules tail twist, the effect of
 which was sometimes startling. My first
 trip up the little road was unique as well
 as instructive in way of railroading. All
 went along very smooth until a point
 about three hundred yards above the
 Stone House was reached, when steam
 seemed to have given out and we came
 to a stand-still Arbuckle immediately
 called to his fireman, who, at that mo-
 ment, was acting as rear breakeman, to
 come and start the injector and blow up.
 Judge my surprise when the fireman
 came and unhitched the mules and led
 them down to the creek to water, and then leading them to the shade of a friendly scrub oak to "blow up." Ar
 buckle informed me that the blowing up process occupied about twenty minutes each trip. Not long after that a brand new locomotive named the "Coronado' arrived all the way from Leavenworth, Kansas, by bull tram; the first locomo- tive in Arizona, about as large as good sized coffee pot. From that time on for while Arbuckle wore his hat perched on three hairs, but when he found he had to get of and push to get the thing to start, to Say nothing of stopping three or four times on the trip up to "blow up," his hat resumed its natural position and Henry was himself again. In running around the camp I used to see women with their faces plastered with some thing that looked like calsomine, and my was excited to know what it was all for, so one day asked Jim Smith what it meant. He told me that the women were so homely that they had to Wear masks in order to induce the young babes to accept their natural sustenance. 1 doubted the statement; in fact, I al- ways did have some doubts about Jim's This was very fair camp at that time in spite of its many draw backs. When applied at the Longfel- lew mine for employment, 1 was told none but Chinese need apply; and when applied to the Detroit, was asked if was miner; and when I told the fore man that was, he said, Well we don't want ye; we want men that knows how ,o do something.' However, caught on after a while, and, although having been bumped of a number of times, have to hold the camp down pretty rear all the time ever since"

 the Clifton public that the Christmas
 Concert arrangements are going on with out hitch and that those in charge are

Clifton ought to be able to supply it's cit izens with entertainments frequently there is plenty of talent, but unless the public show d responding spirit it cannot be expected that much effort will be put forward to give entertainments; we there fore hope that this first move in the de- sired direction will have an extremely enthusiastic support.

 It is sometimes interesting to sit and listen to the tales of the old-timers of their early experience in Clifton Our friend, Alex Mclean, in talking with few select friends in a saloon few days ago, was heard to express himself about in this fashion: "I struck Clifton about noon, and as I stepped off the stage, was greeted by the only white man here Jim Smith, the present jailor. At first was undecided whether he was sheriff, | brigand or U. s. marshal. judged from his armament that he must have been | some sort of an officer, probably con- mander-in-chief of the military depart ment of the coast. However, We were soon on the best of terms; he furnished | me place in one of the rooms of Bed Bug row to spread my blankets, which, at that time, was no small favor, and for that, if nothing else, he has ever held warm place in my heart. It was at least l day or two before I found there was any other white men in the camp, and imong the first was Henry Arbuckle, the engineer on the Baby Gauge. He was pulling the throttle behind two mules,

The red book" he admitted did not
contain any regular entries, and is not
PACED and is I'm the nature of a mem
orandum. He said there We're a num-
Der OF clerical errors I'm calculations of
interest in the red book" and one i'm
portant one. The error was not dis
closed
Reference to the contents of the red
book being made by the district attor-
ney in tallylng with an entry in the
banks ledEers, brought n reioinder
from Mr.. Shields that "it must be re-
membered that the red book was not
yet in evidence, although the indirect
but ingenious manner in which ii is
being exploited would give that Inn
preston"
Mr.. Shields brought from the witness
the admission that there is apparently
page missing from the red book which
would seem TO have an important bear
ing on the figures and entries under
discussion The witness said that when
he first opened the book he did not con-
slider 1t n book of the bank. He con-
sidered IL such when the calculations
compared with transactions in the
other books. He explained this by say
| ing that prior to 1891 the calculations
! were entered in the ledger, but since
! then the red book" had been substi-
! tuted for such calculations, and that
! this book fulfills and fixes the result
| of the two incomplete accounts in the
other books An answer given by the
| witness along the same line to the ef-
! feet that an account book, no matter
! how badly it was kept, If it fits and
| supplies the omissions in other books
| of a system shows that the book is
| pertinent to that system. led to a bril-
| liant passage between the cross eX-
| aminers and the witness, with points
! slightly in favor of the witness lie
| refused to become ratified and paused
/ when the questions of Mr.. Shields ap-
pcared ambiguous to him.
The examination of the witness was
/ resumed with n question by the dis
! trict attorney, the effect of which
| transactions in the "rcd book" coinCi-
dent to transactions in the other books.
! The question was objected to, as the
book speaks for itself and is not yet
in evidence. Argument between coun-
sci followed and a question as to what
| the witness said under Cross-eXamna-
tion became involved. whereupon the
district attorney withdrew the qucs-
tion.
Court adjourned until tomorrow.
