So at last, Mrs. Dewey has been in
troduced to Croker, and that by the ad-
miral himself, Now there will be
trouble. She has the reputation of be-
ing something of a politician herself
and it is fair to suppose that between
Mrs. Dewey and Mr.. Croker, they will
hatch up something that will induce
the admiral to consider the presidential
nomination, after all

Two girls were arrested in Boston

ones name was Green and the other

.Iewelry of Petrified Wood.

The polishing works of this city are now engaged on the stupendnous job of getting out sl, ,OOO,0OO worth of pol ished chalcedony or petriiied wood, to the Paris exposition, says the Sioux
 Falls (S. D.) Journal. This petrified wood is hauled from its native heath, in Arizona, distance of 55 miles to a railroad, then shipped to this city to be cut and polished, this being the only place in the world having the fa- cilities for treating the petritication, which is seven-tenths as hard as dia- mond. It is shipped here in great logs and stumps, weighing many tons each just as they have laid for many ages during the process required by nature to turn the wood into beautiful and variegated colors of stone.
 The process of saving the stone up in shape for polishing is most tedious, the huge machinery used for the pur- pose being able to saw only from an inch to three inches day into it. Af- ter being cut and polished the stone is worked up into every conceivable shape, from cuff buttons to tops of center tables and great columns, which cost a small fortune. All kinds of iewelry are made from it as well as trinkets and handsome articles suita. ble for souvenirs.
 One of the chief attractions at the Worlds fair was the exhibit of chalc- edony, which had been polished and prepared in this city. It is stated that during the fair, sales of this stuff were more than s30.0O0 month--or nearly S200, ,00O worth altogether.
 The great exhibit which is to be made in Paris will be wonderful ad- ver:isement for Sioux Falls, for the reason that nowhere else on earth is there machinery mammoth yet dilicate enough to saw, polish ana put into shape the variety of articles that will be on exhibition.

Windfail for Arizona.

The recent rains in Southern Cali fOrnia have broken the long trough there and stockmen are preparing to restock the ranges, which were completely depopulated during the past two years. Arizona is being called upon to supply the bulk of the demand which it is estimated will reach close to 5O,000 head this fall. With an eye open for business, says the Denver Stockman, the Southern Pacific which carries the bulk of the stock into that section has already advanced the live stock rates and the stOckmen will, in ad- dition have to pay about S q head more for the new stock than they got for the stock they had to ship out year ago. IL is q big thing for Arizona, however, and the cattle business is reported opening very brisk and will last all winter and into the spring.

WILLING TO LET HIM GO.
Suspected Camp Verde Murderer Hay
 Be Brought Back

pS DtouSut bdSNs
 The New Mexico authorities have signitied that they will consent to the eXtradition of Tom KetchUm, charged with the murder of Rodgers and Wing field at Camp Verde last July, says the Republican. An effort was made to procure his eXtradition after his arrest in New Mexico for train robbery, but the authorities refused to give him up on the ground that his conviction of the train robbery was assured, while his connection with the Camp Verde slaughter remained to be established. Since then the trials of trian robbers and other criminals in New Mexico have not resulted satisfactorily. Juries have been too easy with them, and even when 1t has been shown that there was no doubt of their guilt il has been shown impossible to get q verdict corresponding with their crime.
 1t was therefore decided to give ketchum up. If his trial for murder should end in an aquittal he will be rearreSted and taken back to Santa Fe.
 There seems little doubt that he is the Camp Verde murderer. Persons living along the Santa Fe Pacific have identified photograph of Ketchum as that of man who was in that vicin- ity near the time of the murder Cap tain Boyd, who was shot at the same time that Rodgers and Wingtield were killed, believes that the photograph was that of the murderer. In the ar rest of ketchum for train robbery he was shot in the arm. Blood poisoning set in and 1t was thought he was going to die. The arm was amputated and he got well. If Ketchum is the Camp Verde murderer he is known in the territory also as George Stevens and Charles Bishop. There was a member of the notorious Black.Jack' gang by the name of Tom Ketchum and the man who was killed near Clifton in d fight with officers and afterward identi- fled as Black Jack himself was at first believed to be Tom Ketchum.
 There is no doubt that this is the prisoners real name. After his i'm prisonment at Santa Fe he was visited by brother of that name, respect able cattleman of Texas.

FLAGSTAFF TO GLOBE.
Work Will he Begun on New Arizona
 Road soon.

Assurance is given, says the Phoenix Republican, of building railroad be- tween Flagstaff and Globe, distance of about POO miles, will be consum- mated by Southern Pacific capital. President Garland of the q. V. q. X N, and Col Epes Randolph, superin- tendent of the Arizona division of the Southern Pacific, have been making frequent trips between these points recently examining the route. The country is rough m places but M. O.. Bicknell, local agent of the Maricopa and Phoenix, a branch of the southern Pacific line, said today that these officials are satisfied with the general route they had already selected and the building of the road will not be deferred any longer than necessary. The road will be built under special exemption privileges granted by the last Arizona legislature to persons or companies filing declarations cf inten- tions within a certain period, which expired on September l5. Intending builders are given six months after that date in which to commence actual construction.
 The new road will commence at Flagstaff, and probably include Will liams in it's sOutheasterly route to Globe. The line will tap several fer tile valleys and will afford an outlet for many rich mineral regions, among them the Rye and Gun creek districts which already are rapidly being opened up. Probably the most important mission of the new llne will be the immense pineries surrounding Will Hams in CoconinO county, and cheap ening the rates of timber used especially in mining camps and large mines. The Santa Fe is now the only outlet from these great pineries and the timber can only reach many places in southern Arizona in round about manner and after being shipped the second time on the Southern Pacific or by being treighted.
 B. F. Porter, superintendent of the Maricopa and Phoenix road has filed declaration of intention to build a line between Phoenix and the Ray mine near Florence in the Mineral creek district. This read, if com pleted, will greatly shorten the dis tance by rail between Phoenix and Globe. It is said that this road will also be built about the time of the construction of the Flagstalf-Globe line.

The Val Verde Shelter.

MT. Albert l.. Waters, the copper metallurgist of Globe, passed through Phoenix today on his return from Pres. colt, where he went a few days ago, says the Phoenix Herald. Mr Waters went to Prescott to examine the new shelter which has been erected on the Agua Fria by the Val Verde company. Speaking of the shelter and mining in that district MT. Waters said:
 "Yavapai county seems to be on the verge of boom in mining, and I was surprised to find so much activity all about there. Imade trip in the min ing regions, passing some of the min- ing camps in going to the Val Verde shelter, which l went to examine. I found the shelter nearing completion and located advantageously upon the Agua Fria river, some twenty miles northeast of Prescott. Within the past ninety days the company has built one and one-half miles of standard rail- road, thus connecting it's plant with the main line of the Prescott and Southeastern railroad. At the shelter site there are laboratories, officers houses, boarding house and bunk houses. I was advised that the com pany will not allow gambling in the new camp, and will keep saloons from opening for business on the grounds of the company.
 "The plant consists of well built and roOmy building containing a Mitchell blast furnace of the very latest design and POO tons capacity; a big No. Connorsville blower, a l0O- horse power COrliss engine, an auto- matic sampler, and other machinery. There are ample ore, ,tluy and fuel bins. The entire plant is equipped with car tramways by which nearly all the transportation to the works will be done by gravity. It has been designed by General Manager Fennell with the advice of MeSsrs. Traylor and NeSmith of the Colorado iron works. No ex- pense has been spared tO meet the requirements of custom smelting, which will be the principal work. "

George Harris PardOned.

Governor Murphy this morning issued a pardon to George Harris, convict who was sentenced from Globe to serve ten years in the Yuma penitentiary.
 Harris was committed on November II, 1895, after trial before Judge Owen T. Rouse, then district judge of Gila county. He was convicted of assault with deadly weapon. He had pre- yiously lived fourteen years in Arizona and was carpenter by trade. He was 46 years of age when he entered the prison four years ago tomorrow. On August 26, 1897, Harris was adjudged insane and was taken to the asylum in this city, where he remained until April 29, 1898. His term of impriSon- ment will expire on May 1. 1902.
 The petition for pardon was signed by the trial judge and eleven of the jurymen, the district attorney who prosecuted the case, and the most of the leading citizens of Gila county. The petition to the governor states that there were mitigating circum- stances attending the commission of the offense by George Harris. The pardon was sent to Superintendent Brown of the prison today. MT. Brown strongly recommended the pardon of Harris on the ground that he was an exemplary inmate of the prison and had not caused the slightest trouble during the four years of his life there.-PhOenix Herald.

THE COPPER QUEEN.
Ben and Lewis Williams Resigned Their Positions with the
 Company.

The Bisbee Orb says a report was circulated Monday morning to the ef- feet that Ben Williams had resigned from his position as superintendent of the Copper Queen works, and that his brother Lewis had rendered his resig- nation as superintendent of the smell ter. The report came like thunder bolt from a clear sky. The Orb says that the report started from the follow ing article which appeared in the Phoenix Herald of Saturday:
 "News was received in Phoenix to- day that MT. Ben Williams will soon retire as manager of the Copper Queen works at Bisbee and his place will be filled by man whom Phelps, Dodge X Go. will send out from the east MT. Williams has been at the head of the big copper works for many years, and he stands high in mining circles in the southwest. Among the men who are employed at Bisbec he is well liked, and the change will be as much re- gretted by them as by friends of Mir. Williams throughout Arizona. The news has not been confirmed by the officials of the company, although it comes to the Herald from good au- thority."
 An Orb reporter, on seeing the above, called upon Mr. Williams and learned that the Herald's statement was about correct. Mr. Williams said: We have decided to leave Bisbee and our resignations are to take place next month. We expect to leave here about the middle of December. It is our intention to go into business tor ourselves in California, and will have headquarters at San Francisco"
 The Williams brothers have been in Bisbee since March, 1880, when they took hold of the Copper Queen com pany's property. The first bar of cop per turned out of the 30-ton smelter was on August l9, 1880. Since that time under their capable management the mine and shelter have increased their output continuously until it is now one of the largest producing mines in Arizona, it's output being over 3,0O0,0O0 pounds annually.
 The loss of the Williams brothers from Bisbee will be felt keenly by many and their resignation has already caused a deep feeling in the hearts of their many employees, as well as the citizens of Bisbee. Through their man. agement the company has rightfully gained the well earned distinction of being the most liberal one to its em- plopes of any Tn the west. With Bis bees loss Arizona also suffers in losing two men who have done much to de- velop it's resources. California will be the gainer by two substantial citizens.

Output of the Klondike.

No one will ever know exactly how much gold was taken from the Klondke fields the past season, The estimate ranges from slO.0O0,OO0 to $20G0.000. Since the English government imposed royalty of ten per cent the miners have adopted all sorts of rusos to evade the law. 1t is rather dificult opera tiOn to dodge taxes. but it Is moro difficult to dodge bad cold and the grip at this time of the year. When the system is weakened by such attacks and the blood becomes thin and impoverished the best medicine to take is Hostetters' Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds up the system, Besides regulating diges- tion, 1t oyercomes constipation in a perfectly natural way, Ii is good for the kidneys and liver, too stimulating each oi these organs into the proper performance Of their func- tions. Nothing is so good for malaria

Douglas, will assume control at Bis bee, taking the place of Ben Williams, but who is to assume charge of the smelters is still undecided.

GAR WAS GLOOMY,
Had Decided to Abdicate His Throne
Reason for Del Casse's visit.

London, Aug. IN. de Blowitz the
Paris correspondent of the Times. gives
an extraordinary explanation of NJ
Del Casse's present mission. He as.
serts that it was decided upon ouite
suddenly for treason which admitted
OF no delay" and then gives the story
which he says he has from "source
to which l am bound to attach import. :.
anoe." This is the explanation:
Emperor Nicholas is disappointed
and tired of the throne. The absence
OF an heir excites his superstit,tious
feeling, and he connects himself with a
Russian legend, according to which an
heiress czar is to be succeeded Inv a
Gar Michael, predestined to ocounv
Constantinople. The death of the
ozarowitch and the failure of the con.
ference at The Hague led him to decide
to abdicate, and on the occasion of his
coming visit to Darmstadt. On this
becoming known in Pairs. M. Del
Oasse was sent in hot haste to dissuade
hlm fiom carrying oH this intention.
