From the Copper Era.

From the Copper Era.
NJ. S. Engine No. 5 made her
first trip up from the river with a
load last week. The run, with
five loads, was made in about so
minutes, and the engine did the
work in way that showed her
equal to twice as many loads.
A mining deal of considerable
importance is now pending in the
Mayfower district, which will
most probably be closed within a
week or ten days, after which it is
likely that. the mining interests of
that section will materially i'm
prove.
The Arizona Copper company's
new concentration at Longfellow
was started yesterday, and is said
to have worked, like a charm. 1t
is model plant, and will be of
material assistance in increasing
the output of the A. C. company.
There have been numerous small
ARRAYS between individuals who
were stirred to belligerancy while
somewhat under the influence of
"oooze." A finish fight occurred
Monday between an American and
Mexican in which the former was
badly used up. 1t is to be hoped
that these unpleasant affairs may
be checked.
Supt. C. 4. Mills returned Mon
day night after an absence of sew
eral weeks. During his trip Mr..
Mills crossed the continent from
San Francisco to New York, spent
some time at his home in Cedar
Rapids, Ia, and visited other
points. This is the first vacation
Mr.. Mills has taken for some time,
that he enjoyed it goes without
saying.
Judge Egan returned this week
from trip to Santa Fe, New Mexi-
co, whore he went to file the ar
ticles of incorporation ofthe Lords
burg and Hachita railroad. The
Judge reports New Mexico as
green as meadow. He also re.
ports considerable activity in rail
road building throughout the ter
ritory, but says the towns there do
not compare to the towns Of Ari'
zona in business activity.

.Bunco Men at Work.

The old bunco period of Tucson
is threatened with revivication.
When in early days men were
mulcted according to "the sack" +"
and without regard as to whittier
he was going or when he would
return, has been rectified by sta
tute. 1t is now "A crime to entice
a man into a den for the purpose
ofrelieving him of his purse. There
are those, however, who have fail
ed to acquaint themselves with
such statutory regulations, made
and provided for peace, and the
preservation of the community in
general.
Tucson seems to be the only
town in the Territory that would
foster such an industry, and the
Citizen is, no doubt, ahead Of the
police department when the state
ment is made that such place is
in existence
This papers information comes
from well known mining man
who was inveighled upstairs into
an improvised roof garden last
evening. The "ropers" and "cop-
pers" play ed unsparingly; they
prodded the tiger heavily-but he
did not groan. Those who at-
tempted to work the affable old
gentleman did, no doubt, groan,
for he has travelled in the West for
number of years, and could not
be "worked" on the check racket.
Should man eventually get
"turned" on such a scheme in Tue
son those who gain the dollars will
no doubt pay penalty by imprls-
ment.-Aris0nd Citizen.

Pistol Won't Scare.

A Frankford, KY, dispatch
dated Aug. 18th says: A question
that is novel because of the section
from which it comes has been pro-
pounded to State Superintendent
of Schools McChesney. 1t is
whether the carrying of a 44-cali-
Der Colts revolver by a school
teacher in Pike County is intim-
idatlon of his pupils and is cause
for removal.
Mr.. McChesney agrees that the
carrying such a weapon by teach
er in any other section of the State
would intimidate the pupils, but
seriously doubts whether it would
in Pike.
The question was propounded
in letter received this morning
from the two claimants Of a con-
tract to teach a school in Pike
County.
One of the parties is in charge
Of the school, and, so the other
claims, goes to school armed and
has a friend accompany with rifle.
The second party guards the school
from the outside while the first in
structs the pupils.

Many young ladies have found
it necessary to improve, or rather
TO alter, the spelling Of the names
with which they were originally
blessed. Mabel becomes Mabelle,
Jessie becomes Jessica, Mary be-

from his sister at n fashionable
boarding school. 1t was signed
Jessica. He answered.:
Dear Sister Jessica: Your wei.
