At PearCe Camp.

E. Buchanan returned last Saturday from visit to the Pearce mine and was much surprised at its great wealth yet hidden from the sun, says the Citisen. On the surface large force of men are employed building an sO-stamp mill to replace the one lately destroyed by fire He also visited the Black Diamond mine located eight miles west of Psarcs in the Dragoon mountains Here he focnd Superintendent c. M. Henry and twenty American miners busily sn- gagged in working another great prop erty to be added to the alrsady impor- tant copper producing mines of Ari- sona. At depth of 65 feet from the surface magnificent body of sulphide ore was encountered, crosscut 19 feet wide does not yet expose the foot, wall.
 Workis pushed with great energy on tunnel No, 3 to tap this body at depth, of 300 feet from the surface. Preparations are being made for the erection of a 10o-ten smeltsr.
 At CochiSe station large shipments of ore are being made from different points in the Dragoon mountains which is attracting much attention from min ing men to that part of the territory.

CHINESE NAMES.
'AaAh PsssOa in That countsx AAs Aa~OSAL Which Change w4sh
 AAV1nctnH Years.

Every ChinaHan has "a 'sufAadRS, which is supposed to date back nearly, if hot quite, to the epoch of the great Emperor Hwangte. 2697 B. C. The Chi- nsse, says the Philadelphia Record, pride themselves much on the posses sion of these surnaInes, and no foreign CT, not even countryman of the reign ig Manchu. sovereign, is allowed to bor- row them, or even officially to u1s bis own surname in China.
 Insaddition to. this surname--er 7; sing" as is the Chinese term for it--- every Chinaman possesses one or more personal names. In his infant days a designation known as his milk name" is conferred upon him and subsequent ly, on arriving at the age of puberty, ming" or cognomen, is given him. h after life, more especially if he be- comes au author, he takes 'tszs," or literary appellation, and. it is by this that he is afterward best known in everyday life and in the literary world. Often he adds one or more "haeu," or pseudonyms, to his older names, which not -infrequently be uses on the title page of his works; thus consider ably adding to tke difficulty of identity. ing him.
 The well known philosopher Chee He affords an illustration of the number cf names. which Chinaman may aeeumu- late. To his sing" Choo, was added his ming" He. Subsequently he ad-- opted the tsze,' Yuen-hwuy, and r Chung-hwuy, and al different times .afterward added the pseudonyns Hwuy-gaR, The dark cottage; " Hwuy- ung, The obscure man." Ta'ang-chow run ung, The concealed gentleman of Ts'ang-chowj" Yun .kuh laou jin, The old man of the cloudy valley" and Tsze yang, from the name of his study.
 As rule! high sounding or feliciteus names are chosen.for the ming" and "tsze," and as generally the pssdo- snyInes adopted by authors bead depre- ciator ymeanings, or references to their ldwellings as may be gathered from the instance gwen above. For esR sample; we meet with such ming" as "The. fairy guest" The pacifisr of the age" or The shield of the empire, while among rhe pseudonyms We find The dull scholar, The obscure astudelt,' The stupid old man. names which, it is needless to remark, ? are far from indicating humility on the part of those who select them
 1t is worth noting that in the relative placing of the name and surname the Chinese practice is the reverse of ours. They put the surname first; we place sitlast They say Smith John, wher4as we say John Smith

LOVE LETTERS TO ORDER.
eazaaAn Psrsons In tAS cAtv of Mexico,

Perhaps thsIe is no more ehaTlAa&- istia sight in Mexico than the ao-o.lsd "svangalistas" who ply thsir trade in the plasuels de Belem and the plAxa. ella of Sento Domingo, ralasAs tho Mexican Herald,
 They write love lettsrs, blaekmail- ing letters and all sorts oI letters for those who do not know how to write, at 6 rate of three, six, nine or more cents, according, to the length of the niSsive. They also undertake with out extra charge to write the address on the envelope and to attach the rs- quired stamp, but for the latter they make an extra charge of one cent
 One of the Santo. Domingo evan geliStas is now in prison meditating over the fact that to-dstraud the gov ernment even out of i've cents may be very serious matter in the eyes of the law. The name of this evangelis- tAis J. P. Vasausx. His services were engaged by Mrs. M. Insz Hernands. to write lettsr to her husband, who iS sbsent from the aity. After he had written the lettar vasquez asked Mrs. 1srrandez If abe wanted stamp.
 On her aGzEnting he attached Avs- cent stamp and collected six sants t1 addition tOS his5 regular charge for writing the letter,
 With the addressed and OtainpaA sn. vslope Mrs. Hernandez went to the branch post office in the Eiaduana building and. not knowing In which box to drop 1t, asked the postal inc .spsetor, Manuel Espinosa, who hap pansd to be in the post office. for in formation on the subject. Mir. Espi- nosa took the letter to read the ad- dresa and was about to return fl to :, MrS, Hernandex when he noticed that the color of the stamp was extreme ly dim. By, still closer scrutiny he disee~Srsd that the stamp had been already cahcelsdh and the faiutness o6 color was due to chemical treat msnt that had been applied for the purpose ot s4sdns ths ink ot the seal
 The iaspSatsr aslsed the Hernandez women from whom she had bought the stamp and she led him to the stand of the avangelista from whom ahs had made the purchase. The svangeusts at first denied having sold the stamp to the woman, but as two other women who had been present testified that they had seen him ssll the stamp. he was taken to the poliA atAAioa end from there to Dslsp.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
A Tombstone Boy Was Shot at
 Wood Camp.
Suspicious Circumstances Point ts the Tact That Someone
 Murdered Him.

Last Saturday night word came to town that Francisco Lopez, a young Tombstone boy, was found dead in the vicinity of Slayen's guleh in the Ora . geons, and that he had, presumably, accidentally killed himself or commit ted suicide.
 Coroner Schuster immediately made an examination of the case. A coro- ner's jury was summoned and the body brought in. Investigation developed the fact that young Lopez was IA years of age, had been shot through the heart and some circumstances gave rise to the suspicion that he had been foully dealt with. This was so strong that the coroner's jury refused to bring in verdict of accidental death, and in- stead returned verdict that deceased came to his death by gunshot wound at the hands of some person unknown.
 Lopez was one of party of Mexicans at wood camp. His three companions, who were before the jury, testified that young Lopez left the wood camp with six-shooter to hunt some game. A lit tie later they heard a shot, which proved to be the fatal one. The theory of suicide Is unsupported from the fact that the location of the entering wound on the left side made it practically i'm. possible to be self-inAicted, while the suggestion of accidental shooting is equally 90. The firing of the shot must also have been done at little distance as no powder marks were visible, while other suspicious. circumstances leads te the belief that the young man was mur- dersd, but who could be guilty of wrsaking such terrible vengeance on mere boy is mystery. The authori- ties have the matter in hand and are trying to solve the case Lopez was buried in the Tombstone cemetery to- day, and his funeral was largely at tended by Mexican friends of the fam fly. --Prospector.

This seems to dispose of all the talk about England and Germany having designs which would antagenise some of the other powers in the settle ment with, China. This government has not doubted the good faith of either Germany or England.
