A very pleasing surprise party was
given our talented friend, Miss Ottilie
Maeser Frid y week as she was pre-
caring to make trip to her home in
Utah. Miss Maeser has done a grand
work m Mesa in the musical line and
her friends outdid themselves on the
| occasion to show their appreciation of
her efforts. She took train Saturday y
week for San Francisco where she will
spend few gssssks pkg With i!9 friends and
| then go Oh to Salt Lake City We
have it from ON, good authority that she
will return again-when the heated
spell is over, and then something will
happen.
Mr.. E. Jones had very narrow
escape from death Friday. He was
riding up Main Street on a gallop and
when in front of D vis e., .st.re Lis
horse stumbled and fell leaving his
foot in the stirrup. The horse be-
came frightened and ran, dragging
Nr. Jones far about 100 yards by the
foot. The horse became very much
! frightened at its movable load and
! tried to kick loose from him. which he
| finally did, M. Jones extricating his
foo9 from the stirrup. Strange as it
may appear the horse did not hit him
once, and he sustained no injuries save
his back being bruised from dragging
and big scare.

n Quessaon In which All Mining
Hen Are InseFesssd.
The origin Of ore deposits Is sn in
teresting and practical subject OF
discussion, and one that has had con-
siderable of value contributed BY
men who have given the vast subject
careful study. The subject is one OF
scientific study and Of immediate
practical value to metal miners
everywhere. II il, of course. easy
to say: I'VE don't care how the ore
originated. The question for us IL
where il il and how al ii be best
reached and most economically
treated" Yet . satisfactory solu-
lion OF the more abstract scientific
inquiry will aid in answering she
concrete practical requirements Of
the miner. This last fact gives great
importance to the contributions OF
biologists and scientists during The
past twenty years. the result being
that the matter is emerging from the
shsdovy domain of theory and by
pothesis, and is assuming the nature
of an exact problem which admits OF
definite and satisfactory solution. In
the last few months have been e
ceived several excellent monographs
On the subject Of the genesis OF ore
deposits, and another is promised.
The requirements are recognized as
embracing o scheme acceptable to
biologists and Of practical aid to the
miner, and it is along these lines
that present advance Is being made.

the railroad companies should provide
armed guards Is q protection against
robbers. that is a question for consid-
Grafton, and not to be decided off

MI. Huntington further said that II
