 A RELIABLE COAT HOLDER. -
 When the fire which destroyed the
 Sherman buildings last week broke out
 District Attorney Flannigan, who is
 an enthusiastic member of the fire de-
 partment, was one of the first on the
 ground. He had on a new and expen-
 sive overcoat and his experienced eye
 told him that there was hot, wet and
 dirty work before him. He removed
 his fine Overcoat and handing it to a
 bystander told him to hold it. The
 fire is long since out, much of the de- bris has been removed and preparations
 are being made to erect a new and
 modern structure on the ruins of the
 old. Yet that bystander, whoever he
 is, District Attorney Flannigan doesn't
 know, is still holding that coat. He
 must be tired.
 THE AJO DISTRICT.-Jake Daven-
 port who has been engaged in the con-
 struction of the mill of the St Louis
 Copper company in the Ajo district, re-
 turned yesterday morning. The Ajo,
 MT. Davenport believes, will become
 one of the greatest copper districts in the west. The development work has little more than begun, yet it has pro- ceeded far enough to leave no doubt of a boundless supply of copper. The St. Louis company''s property covers a great area. A great deal of contract work is being done in sinking and drifting. Col. Beans property near by
 being extensively operated There is no mill there, but the richer ore is be- ing taken out and shipped to the Fl Paso shelter. The rest is put aside to be concentrated later. There is a great deal of rich ore, some of it running as high as 60 to 70 per cent
 ARIZONA MONUMENT TO LAW TON.-A telegram was received at the office of the governor yesterday from J. V. Vickers, the well known Cochise county cattleman, who is now in Kan sas City, suggesting a movement for the erection of a monument to the memory of General Lawton, who was killed before San Mateo. Philippine is lands, last Tuesday. Mr. Vickers re- calls the distinguished services of Gen eral Lawton in this territory in his campaigns against the Apaches, and thinks that a fund for a monument in recognition of these services could Ee quickly raised. He offers to subscribe $100 to it. Concerning the death of Gen eral Lawton, it is regarded as a CO., incidence, that the name of the Filipino of whom he was in pur- suit at the time he was killed is Geronimo, the same as that of the Apache chief, the pursuit and capture of whom endeared the general to Ari- zOnians.
 PHOENIX OLIVE OIL. Earlier in the season considerable space was given in these columns to the subject of olive oil, to be made here from the fruit grown in this vicinity. As many are perhaps aware, there is but com paratively small quantity of the first pressing" or what is technically known as virgin olive oil, made for general use, as it is expensive and cheaper grades are usually supplied to the gen eral consumer. The Phoenix plant, however, has placed in evidence a quantity of the virgin oil which is on the market on the same shelf with the California product, also of the virgin pressing. Those who should be com petent to judge assert that in all re- spects the Phoenix oil is equal to if not superior to the California goods. Incidentally it may not be out of the way to mention that olives in this val ley did well the present season, while in California, the boasted home of this fruit, the crop was almost a failure.
 A HAPPY WEDDING. A great deal lf fun is made at the expense of Mari copa, but that great railroad center keeps right along about its business, undisturbed by the rest of the world, as the residents there have little world of their own. That the social part of life is not overlooked and that young love buds and blossoms just as there as elsewhere is wit messed by the marriage of MT. George Kahrs and Miss Lowe on Monday evening in the parlors of the Edwards hotel. After the ceremony a wedding banquet was served in the dining room, decorated for the occasion, and pleasant evening spent by the little of assembled guests. The groom is a nephew of G. H. N. Luhrs
