The wind was cast, and the chimney
smoked.
And the old brown house seemed drcary
For nobody smiled, and nobody joled.
The young folks grumbled, the old folks
Croaked,
They had come home chilled and weary
Then opened the door, and girl came in;
Oh, she VIZ: homey-very;
Her nose was pug, and her cheek was thin,
There wasn't dimple from brow to chin,
But her smile was bright and CHEEKY.

She spoke not n word of the cold and
damp.
Nor yet of the gloom about hcr
But she mcndcd the fire, and lighted the
lamp,
And she put on the place different stamp
From that 1t had had without her.

A New Mineral Discovery in South

A sample recently received and ana lyzed at the Arizona schpol of mines adds another important substance to the already long list of mineral productions of the territory, says Professor w. P.

Geer of Martinez and is found to be a variety of "Fuller's earth" a well known detergent former ly much used to remove the oil and grease from woolen goods and still in use to some extent for the same pur- pose.

Smalley have begun active develop ment of the Colonel Brodie mine in Old Baldy. The vein shows an increas- ing width as depth is attained. and MT. McCleary thinks that they have struck a rich ore chute. It dips toward a great quartzite reef which penetrates the mountain for "a distance of four miles and this reef is regarded as the vein of the deposit. The ore is found in slate and is blind with the exception of siN-inch outcropping where the discovery was made. From six inches the vein has widened three feet and carries gradual increase of width as sinking progresses. The Colonel Brodie is seven miles from Helvetia and the product of the mine will be hauled there for treatment. The mine was To- cated in May and is among the recent discoveries in the Santa Ritas.
 Experts have been at work upon the Florida mine. located two miles from the Colonel BrOdie, and they will re- commend that the property be reopenad and active work begun at once.

Six horses are now used but a pair does not last over an hour. hoist ing from the bottom of the 20G foot shaft. The work of crosscutting at that depth is progressing -zvorably and the ledge will soon b. continued and pushed as rapidly as possible until Oc- tober 26, the date when the option on the property expires. The various open ings near the surface are yielding the usual quantity of ore, which is shipped to Fl Paso.
 w. P. Mercy is back from Payson and the team is on the way with three and a half tons of high grade ore from the Cracker Jack mine. which will be delivered to the sampling works. The Cracker Jack is being developed in a systematic manner and large amount of ore has been blocked out.

A STATE CONVENTION.
The Assembling Today of Wisconsin
 Republicans.

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 1.-The repuo- lican state convention, which conVenes at noon tomorrow, promises to be one of the largest and most enthusiastic ever held in Wisconsin. There are to be 1,061 delegates and the visitors to the convention will probably amount to three or four times that number. The convention will be held in the Exposi- ton building and ample arrangements have been made to accommodate the crowd. Today finds the hotels rapidly filling up with republican politicians from all parts of the state. In view of the fact that the convention promises to be devoid of any spirit of contest the interest displayed is remarkable.
 The convention will nominate can didates for the full number of elective state officers. while a new state central committee and chairman will likewise be named. Robert M. La Toilette will be unanimously named to head the ticket. and the remainder of the present state officers will be renominated. MT La Follette's victory is regarded as a triumph of the younger element over the older leaders who have so long dominated the republican party in Wis consin.

A RICH GOLD STRIKE
Old BaIdy in the Santa Ritas
 Attracts PrOSpeCtOrs
The Gold Bonanza and the Strike Made in the Helvetia Workings Are the Magnets Which Bring Out the Hunters for Wealth.

Tucson, Aug. 7.-(SpeciaD A three foot vein of bonanza gold rock has been discovered in Uid Baldy, thirty miles south of here: The strike was made by Fred Maish a well known mining man. The ore brought to this city shows free gold and is exceptionally rich. The vein. Mir. Maish says, is exposed for mile and the pay streak has an al most uniform width of three feet. The strike has created considerable excite ment and number of prospectors and mining men have left the city for Old Baldy.
 At Helvetia camp there is general re- joicing over the development of a great body of sulphide copper ore. This camp is located in the Santa Rita mountains thirty-five miles south of Tucson. The claims were purchased two years ago for $40,000 and active development was begun at once. A 125-ton smelter was placed on the property and diamond drills Were used to prospect the veins. The sulphide body Manager Seager says. is forty feet in width and ore has been/ blocked out up to the present time which will keep the smelter run ming for three years. The success of the Helvetia has created a great deal of interest in the Santa Ritas and min ing men are turning their attention to the development of properties there. This is the first development of sul- phide ores in that range. The HelVetia company will build a railroad to con- meet with the Southern Pacific at Vails station, eighteen miles from the camp.
 The Commonwealth surface equip ment which was recently burned, is being replaced with modern machinery R. A. F. Penrose, one of the owners of ! the Commonwealth, was in Tucson to- day and he stated that an SO-stamp mill has been secured and will be placed on the property at once. This mine is one of the most profita ble gold and silver producers in the southwest. the shipments of bullion averaging $40 a month.
 Judge $. w Purcell has opened up magnificent vein of silver and lead ores in the Sierrita range. The vein is one of the largest that has been discovered and the mine will soon become a prof itable producer
 Charley Fleming, d cousin of Colonel James A. Fleming of the Black War rior mine, has invented a dry process for securing the light gold which is contained in the GreateINille placers, and a machine built after his model is about ready to be placed on the plac- CTS. Mir Fleming has been working upon his process for two years. The machine is built to work 200 tons a day and a trial of the model shows that it is a practical saver of light gold. The Greaterville placers have been eXperi- mented upon for twenty years without success and this new device is of great interest to mining men. A description of the process will be given as soon as it is placed in active operation.

New York. Aug. By reason of his fights with Ruhlin and Fitzsimmons, the judgment or S:arSey regarding the battle between the two men should be of considerable value.
 Wh5n asked about the coming battle between the two men, Sharkey said:
 'Why, Fitzsimlnons will win, of course. First of all.

very hard for Us, with our ideas of civ

there remains such discipline as due

cannot judge Of it from the standpoint OF

think OF japanese army corps marching
into Pekin and not leaving a living thing
for miles on either side Of the road, but
if the japanese authori les deliberately
resolve upon such a course as that, it is
because they know that such disciplinary
measure is absolutely called for by the
case. The japanese are not naturally
cruel. on the contrary, they are a gentle
and 1nila-mannered people, but they know
the Eastern mind and they know when in
