SNOW IN FLAGSTAFF. If there
are any Phoenicians left at Flagstaff
they should hurry home at once for
two reasons. First, to help push the
carnival along, and secondly tc. escape
being frost bitten. Jerry Sullivan, the
Seligman cattle buyer, was an incom
| ing passenger on last nights train
| from the north and he reports that
when the train passed through Flag
staff yesterday snow was falling quite
rapidly. 1t had made but little show
| ing on the. ground as yet. but it was
gentle reminder Of what will happen
in the near future. MIR. Sullivan was
returning from New Mexico, where he
went a few days age with a trainload
of cattle.

RICH SILVER STRIKE. F. E.
Jones. a mining man, who has been
spending considerable time in Sonora
recently, was in Phoenix yesterday and
reports a rich silver strike in the Roy
mine in the we'll known Pilares min
ing district The ore found in the new
strike, ii is said, will run $4,000 in
silver, Mexican, or about half that
amount estimated on a gold basis.
Great excitement prevails throughout
tie district over the discovery. The
Row is located in the same region as
the Cinco de Mayo and Pilares proper
ties, the first of which is owned ana
operated by Col. Garcia, President
Diaz's chief of staff, and the latter by
A j. King. Both these mines nave
been we'll known producers for long
time and in each of them strikes nave
been made that were even richer than
the one above referred to. The Roy,
owned bv L. E. Booker. has always
been considered a valuable mine, as
it is located on the same lead, but no F!
previous showing has equalied tbs !
present rich strike.
SHOOTING IN THE CITY LIMITS. /
Last night a badly scared woman in !

which she thought needed attention /
She said that she was coming down /
First avenue and when she was near /
the corner of Adams street she heard |
what she believed to be a shot. She /
was sure that either a murder or a !
suicide had been committed. though !
it might have been a deadly explosion. !
She was rather inclined, though, to /!
the murder or suicide theory. Officer F.!
Dowel and Constable McClintock I'M /
dertook an investigation of the crime. |
They hunted through the alleys and /
back lots CT the vicinity, awoke the i
occupants of a corral near by and in
quired if they had heard the fusf- (
lade. The officers were abOuS 10 give !
uG. the hunt when they suddenly got !
clue. They heard a shot. Officer !
Dowell. who had been initiated into !
the mysteries of the Elks. knew what |
it was. The lodge was in session and !
the members were shooting at d fawn. /
When the officer explained the char

McClintock, Ee said: They Oughn't to !

WAR IS AT AN END. In one of
his earlier productions before he be-
came famous by his observations upon
national and international affairs,
while he was still confning his phi
losophy to the people and politics of
Archey road and Chicago, Mr.. DOGGY
was describing to Mr.. Hennessey
mutual acquaintance who was always
doing unusual and unexpected things.
He illustrated the contrariety of his
by denominating him as a
freak who drank whisky at a German
saloon and bought beer of an Irish
man. Yesterday afternoon County Re
cCIder Sheridan, who is not of German
descent, was parading Washington
street with a pipe five feet long which
was not a dudheen. Nothing like it
was ever seen between Bantry Bay and
Londonderry nor yet between Galway
and Dublin. That pipe and Recorder
Sheridan together looked as if the
had come in unheralded
