SNAPSHOTS AND NERVES.

The Prince of Wales hates to be photographed. Since the camera fiend has been let loose upon the land the Prince at every turn hears the aggra- vating click that pr sages the snap shot, and t has got on his nerves. He is haunted by the camera. and it is re- ally amusing 10 behold the trouble that he goes to that he may not be shot by it. There have been a number of very Imaginable scenes of late between the Princes care takers and the amateur photographers. more particularly on the race courses of the kingdom.
 His royal highness is very fond of having free and easy time of it when he goes racing, and he sees that he gets it. For instance, at Epson, where the q rby is run, a series of steps leads from the royal enclosure to a lawn that faces the press stand-a lawn that is used by journalists and others. The Prince soon has enough of the royal en- closure, and. cigarette or cigar in his mouth, drops down among the pencil pushers and those who have entree to the lawn, and chats and laughs with all whom he knows in the most democrat ic manner imaginable.
 On derby day a camera enthusiast got into this enclosure and prepared tC

 The large amount of teaming between Tucson and Mammoth is an important factor in the daily life at Oracle. Be cause of the general abundance of water here many of the heavy freight teams make Oracle a camping place on the road from Tucson to Mammoth.
 Mining is an important industry ir the mountains about Oracle. At Cop per Hin a few miles below here. MT. Copeland is developing a copper prop erty which promises to be q valuable holding.
