Joined the usual group in the corner
grocery store. One of the crowd was
a freight brakeman, and he told
story about tramp who was stealing
ride on the bumpers during his last
run.
The conductor seen him first he
said, and when he came back to the
caboose he said, says he: bill, there's
a blamed ugly lookin hobo on the
trucks behind the first car. Suppose
you go up and fire him off, "Al
right, cap" says L, and starts front.
When 1 gets to the first car, l looks
down, and, sure enough, there WAS a
big, greasy hobo squattin on the
edge, holdin on to the brake iron. Hi,
there! says /, what dyou mean by
tryin to beat the road? We're goin
slow now, and you hop right Off" The
hobo reached around into his pocket
and pulled out a gun about a yard long

asked sheriff of HERALD man at
the natstorium last night. No?
Well, will tell you. Bill came to
Texas when he was about seventeen
years old. He didn't have thing but
what he had on and that was q hickory
shirt and pair of ducking pants, held
up by two strips of bed ticking over
his shoulders. He got job on farm
In Van Zandt county. Yes, by she way,
Bill had a bulldog pistol that cost six
bits and this pistol played a
part in his lion tanning affair. Bills
boss was m n named John Jones and
he had a lot of hogs which q Mexican
lion or some other varmint was thin
ming out pretty lively. Mr.. Jones told
Bill that if he would kill the purloiner
of his pork he would buy him q thirty
Eve dollar suit of clothes aud that
he would let him have old Bull, his
dog, to help him. Away went Bill and
Bull and the bulldog pistol to beard
the lion in his den The dog was noslng
around In Q thicket when he ran on to
the object Of the hunt or
that caused him
to raise howl and make for
home with his tail between his legs, and
Bill was struck with spell of home
sickness and went along as near with
the dog as he could. When they reach
ed the house Bull went under it and
Bill went up against the door so hard
he knocked it down and fell in the
house on top of the door. When
Bill started out he cooked his cannon
and bad forgotten to let the hammer
down but It came down all right when
Bill did and exploded the cartridge.
The bullet went through the floor and
killed Jones' dog. That is why Bill is
called the lion tanner

will than any town of its size with
which he has yet become acquainted.
Dallas Is on the eve of commencing
general public Improvement" said
Mayor Cabell Of that city, sin fact 1
find general waking up of ell the
cities l have visited lately and it
seems that they are all seeing the
great Importance and benefits of up
to-date i'm provements and the neces-
sity of pushing upward. We are going
to have general betterment of our
water works system, street paving, and
sanitary conditions. The very best
sanitary measures are to be adopted.
A feature of this is q crematory in
which all garbage and carcssses will
be burned. Dallas owns her own
water works and supplies the con-
sumers of the city, and although we
already have good supply we intend
to improve the system to the amount
of 800, 900 in order to meet the steadi-
ly increasing demand. We will also
expend between $50, 600 and $50, 600 on
street Improvements and $1,000 for the
crematory."
This reminds me Of N Meeting of the
Royal Union" said Sterling Clark at
the roof garden blowout last night to
friend. The Royal Union of Texas is
an organization having councils in
several large cities of the state and
grand headquarters council at Waco.
It is a fraterDal, benevolent associa
ton and cares for the sick main ed and
Incidentally thirsty. The new members
generally provide the thirst quenchers
opthe mig mt of their initiation and they
have reason 10 believe that all mem
bers have elegant thirsts. Mr.. Clark
Is also a member of the Mystic Knights
of Bovinis, an order of Fort Worth
which was organized two years ago
when the Texas Cattlemen's Asso-
citation was in convention in that
city. This organization makes the
securing of conventions for
their city and the enter
tainment of visitors its specialties. 1t
Is an interesting association and its Of
fcers have such high sounding titles as
chief brander, chief ranch boss, FORE
man of the round up, chief wrangler,
etc., and it Is said that when they
turn themselves loose in town one is
bly, reminded of q stampeded herd
of panhandle longhorns.
Sterling Clark is one of the most
popular men in his county, and doesn't
take much of back seat in point of
popularity in the whole state, Every
official of Tarrant county is serving his
second term and they are all rated as
high class officials, but Mr.. Clark is
the only one of the lot that has been
nominated for third term, and his
nomination is equal to his election.

Stray Shots From SheriffS

J. c. Avary, sheriff of Ward county,
of which Barstow is the county seat, is
a FREQUENT visitor to Ell Paso and says
every time he comes he finds the town
improved. Mr.. Avary is serving his
third term as sheriff. He says he Is
ENJOYING himself here and knows all
the sheriffs are doing the same.
One of the sheriffs at the natatorium
last night said that when Ben Cabell
commenced his reign as mayor OF
Dallas he issued an order for the
police to change their uniform and
adopt the following regulations: In
the summer time wear yankee
oyercoat, fur cap and heavy brogan
shoes: in the winter time wear linen
duster, straw hat and carpet slippers:
any policeman caught on his beat
dressed otherwise was to be suspended
for thirty days.
wv Vann, sheriff of Kerr county,
said at the court houss this morning
that while he was in favor of this con-
vention being held in San Antonio, as
soon as he saw that Ell Paso stood the
best chance to secure 1t he was the
first to move that this place be unant-
mously selected. 81 am pleased with
with the convention and think 1t is be-
ing held in the proper place. If l ever
have q chance to cast vote for Ell
Paso to secure another convention |

of the best towns in the state
Chow would you like to live out
here?" asked one sheriff OF another IS
they were passing by the group of
houses in which the employees of the
smelter live just this eide of the smel-
ter. ooh, l would like it all right"
answered the other, who was none other
than the famous Bill Henderson; lin
fact have fallen in love with this
country; but would not like to be
sheriff here. II one of these Mexicsns
was to come slashing at me with one
of these what-yOu-call-e ems I'd jumpintO

Henderson pointed at the dry, bed of
the Rio Grande.
Sterling Clark thinks Ell Paso is a
wonderful city and says 1t is making
wonderful strides in progress, but he
also thinks Fort Worth is pretty
warm town. He gays Fort Worth has
the finest court house, jail, and union
railroad station in the south, in Texas
Or any other state. He also takes great
home Just recently dedicated by
the MasOns in Fort Worth.
New improvements are being
added and new additions built to this

MINES AND MINING NEWS
OUR NORTHWESTERN MINES,
Items Cleaned From Late Reports
All Districts Are Being Developed
A Prosperous Year Is Predicted
Mining Notes and Personals.

The reduction works of the Detroit
Copper Company, at Marenci, Arizona,
caught fire and was totally consumed.
The works consisted of a 150-ton con-
contractor, smelter furnaces and con-
troverters. The fire will throw large
number of men temporarily out of en-
ployment.
Reports from Slate Greek, Wash,
say that the mill on the Eureka will be
running this week. A large force of
men are at work on the 2,000-foot tram
way which lies at an angle of about
80 degrees. The Mammoth is in the
best ore it has ever mined, although
none of it has been put through the
mill. The mill is running on poor ore
which was put in the bins last winter,
but it has pounded out 59.45-ounce
brick, worth about $1,000. On the
Tacoma claim through which the Nam
9th claim runs, fine body of fine ore
four feet wide has been opened. The
Gold Standard Mining and Milling
company operates the claim.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Ymir mine is now running a
portion of it's new complement of
stamps. The work of increasing the
work of the tramway has been complet-
ed and ore was passed down yester-
day. Sixty of the 80 stamps were star
ted, and the balance will probably be
started in a day or two. This is by
far the largest battery in British Co
lumbia, and it is said the capacity is to
be doubled in the near future.
The drift on the 10O-foot level of the
Hartford, in Wellington camp, has
been extended 100 feet and is still in
ore.
A six foot ledge on the J. & S. in Wei
llngton camp, is now being stripped.
1t is six feet wide and it reported that
the assays average $50 per ton. 1t is
the intention of the owners to quarry
out the ore and make shipment to the
smelter forthwith. The principal
owner is John Rogers. The claim adj
joins the Hartford and Brandon and
Golden Crown.
r. M. McEntire has returned from
Meyers creek to Greenwood and con-
firms the report made regarding a dis
coyery of rich placer ground on the
Lone Star claim. Mr.. McEntire says
the discovery was made while an up
raise for air was being run from the
Review tunnel through the bed of a
small stream to the surface. In turn
ing this stream so that it would not
run down the upraise good looking dirt
was uncovered He washed several
pans. Coarse gold was found, and as
high as go colors was taken out to a
pan.
Hugh Cannon is doing extensive de-
velopment work on the Yellow Jacket,
a promising claim in Browns camp,
near Grand Forks. 1t adjoins the Lit
tie Bertha.
The stream crosscuts the Lone Star
vein, which is an extension of the ia
nous Reco vein, from which so much
rich gold was taken out few years
ago. The presumption is that the creek
bed down from this vein is rich placer,
and the ground will be prospected i'm
mediately.

MINING NOTES.

A strike is reported on a claim be
tween Delta and Carbon Center. Idaho.
The claim is owned by John Dowd and
J. J. Purcell, and lies in direct con-
tinuation of the Anazon-Manhattan
group. The ore is high grade milling
and was found near the surface. No
assays have been made.
Among the deeds placed on record
last week at Wallace, Idaho, was one
conveying a number of mining claims
to the Sunset Peak Mining Company,
limited, the consideration being $780,
600. Among the claims is one which
has shown some ruby silver, a very
rare ore in this region, the Sierra Ne
yada, Omaha and one or two others in
the same neighborhood near Wardner,
being the only other claims which have
shown it.
Several large nuggets have been
found on the Mary Ann placers in
Chesaw camp Wash.
John Markey, employed in the smelt-
ing works of the United States mine
at Jerome, Arizona, was burned to
death and two Italians were severely
burned recently. Marley was a skim.

the contents of the converter into the
great ladle and the crane was hosting
it when the pail broke pouring a large
quantity of seething copper over Mark

Markey's clothing was burned from
his body, and he lived but short time,
dying in fearful agony.

REPUBLIC,

The tunnel on the Golden Harvest in
Republic camp is in $50 feet. Values
are not high.
The shaft on the Republic is down a
little over 100 feet and will be COM
pleted by July /.
The Black Tail mine is looking fine
in the raise on the intermediate level.
No other work is being done at present.
Values are still high
The non arrival of the machinist
who is to set up the machinery on the
Morning Glory mine, has been the
cause OF the delay. 1t does not now
seem probable that the plant will be
in running order before the Fourth of
July.
The south drift on the 300-foot level
of the San Poll is being pushed with
vigor. There is no change worth of
note. The north drift from the bot
tom of the S0-foot Wine, on the inter
mediate level, is carrying four feet of
high grade ore
In the Muldoon group, near Belcher
camp, II miles east of Republic, strik
in copper is reported, made in a 240-ft
tunnel. Superintendent Ediams says
there is a three-foot ledge which will

The shaft on the Quilp has reached

level. Tracks are being laid in the
crosscuts on the so foot and the 100-ft
levels, and other preparations are near
ing completion for beginning STOPPING
on these levels. 1t will probably take
a couple of days to finish the work
A new dump is being prepared, sc
that the ore can be separated and only
the best sent to the mill. There is
considerable $40 and s12 ore, but this
will not be mllled at present.
