fling at an immense pace away in front
their strange labored gait reminding one of
the rocking of a tall ship in rolling swell
their thick, wiry, black tails twisted up
over their backs and whisking round and
round in most curious fashion, their long
necks rising and falling in a pendulum
like rhythm, their splendid dappled forms
bulkng enormous to the eyes; all these
things, combined with the pace at which
ones good horse, excited by the chase and
urged with the spur, carries one, tend to
make giraffe hunt on horseback one of
the most thrilling of all the varied sensa-
tions that a sportsman can hope to expe-
rence. l. for one. although 1 have tasted
the delights Of many forms of sport fox
hunting included, can affirm that nothing
to my mind equals the maddenng delight
of a gallop after graffes in the wllds of the
far interior Of southern Africa. Gordon
Cumming, who in his time killed an i'm
mense quantity of every species Of South
African game, from elephant rhinoceros
and lion to the smallest antelope, thus
writes of his first chase of these colossal
creatures: mo pen nor words can convey
to the sportsman what it is to ride in the
midst Of troop Of gigantic giraffes. 1t
must be experienced to be understood.
They emitted a powerful perfume, which in
the run came hot in my face, reminding me
of the smell of hive of heather honey In
September. The greater part of this chase
led through bushes OF wait-a-bit thorn of

and arms were covered with blood long be-
fore l had finished the giraffe" Mr.. F. c.
Selous well indorses Gordon Cummings en-
thusiastic description. 1T struck me as a
glorious sight," he says, ito see these huge
beasts dashing along in front, Gathering
over the stones or bursting passage
through opposing bushes and how
easily and with what little exertion they
seemed to get over the ground with that
long, sweeping stride or theirs.
Giraffe Hide Very Tough.
The strong scent of giraffes noticed by
Gordon Cumming is very quickly apparent
when one is hunting these animals, and
still more SO when one skins the quarry at
the end of the chase. Horses that have
not been accustomed to giraffes are at first
much scared by it. ! remember in my first
giraffe hunt that to begin with, had the
greatest trouble to keep my nag straight.
He was fresh to this kind of hunting; the
sight of the tall beasts and the scent that
came from them as they raced away in
front scared him for time very comfort
ably. However, got him straight at last
and he went very well afterward The
thorns so feelngly mentioned by Gordon
Cumming are among the greatest obsta-
cles that are to be encountered in hunting
giraffes. These animals have very tough,
| solid hides, more than an inch in thickness
on the upper parts and have therefore no
hesitation whatever in plunging through
the densest and thorniest bush they can
| encounter. More often than not they are
when found by the hunter. browsing amid

require some upsetting of old traditions,

THE statist, of London, one OF the
most carefully-edited papers published,
mas something to say about invest
ments in copper properties that i
worthy OF most careful thought by all
persons seeking such investments. 1t
says:
"Observant persons have noted the
fact that TO acquire an interest at a
profitable figure in any OF the big cop
per companies nowadays i an impOsi-
bility. The fact is that the big profits
in copper were made by the people who
took their chances and went in on their
judgement when the big coppers were
little ones. The only great opportun-
ity for investors today is the same as
those their predecessors had in years
gone by, and, "a a result, new compan-
les having valuable properties furnish
the best source Of profta investment
today"
The above is absolutely correct. Dur
ing the past few months many Arizona
Copper stocks have increased in value
many fold. Shannon stock was selling
last fall at $3.50; today it cannot be
had at $500. Cobre Grand was put
on the market only few months ago
at $50; it is now selling in New York
at So. 90. And so it has been with dOz-
ems Of other new companies which are
actually working and developing their
properties. Investors should first as
certain all Information possible in re-
gard to companies Offering stock for
sale and especially as to the manage
ment and character OF the men who
are operating the property. Where
home people, familiar with the
property and its management, make
investments, it will be pretty safe for
outsiders TO follow. All will not de-
velop into great properties, but some
OF them will, and many of them will
be payers if the money derived from
the sale of treasury stock is judiciously
expended in the development of the
property. Arizona is full OF most
promising prospects which needs only
capital to be developed into producing
mines. Eastern people should use dis
erosion in purchasing stock, because
there are many wildcats" on the
market, some of them promising divi-
dends, which have mover been heard of
the sections where their mines are
supposed to be located.

w. L. WEBB, a prominent merchant
ing men in the ella Valley, had a most
timely and interesting letter in the
Pima Paragon, in regard to the pro-
posed railroad from SolOmonville, to
Clifton. Mr.. Webb seems to have the
right idea OF conditions, as he states
that the building of the road depends
entirely upon the people of the county.
Mr.. Webb concludes his article as
follows:
The slow, unsatisfactory method of
hauling freight from the valley to Cliff
ton will become but dreamy recolec-
ton OF the far away dim and misty
past, and the trip to and from Clifton
will be made in a couple of hours, the
passenger seated in a comfortable coach.
TO bring about these much desired
conditions might, and no doubt would :,
be a long and arduous undertaking for
twenty, fifty or even hundred of our
citizens, but not so if we will all aid in
the enterprise, all be earnest in our
efforts to show that existing conditions
warrant the building of such a road and
that the people are determined that it
shall be built. SO let us all think
about it, and let us all aid in the effort
which will doubtless soon be made to
bring this matter properly before those
most likely to undertake it. If we will
do this, few years at the most will
see it an accomplished fact, see our
county supplied with new avenues of
trade. greater opportunities for both
producer and consumer and CORES
ponding beneficial results for the en-
tire community.

THE Mining Reporter of Denver, Col
oradO, an apparently reliable journal
which aspires to represent the mining
interests of the west, gives the mining
news from Idaho, Nevada, Now Mexico,
South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming aud
British Columbia, but not word from
Arizona. Possibly the editor does not
know that Arizona is second in output
only to Colorado, and will soon crowd
the Centennial state for second place.
The fact is that Arizona, as producer
Of precious metals has come to the
front with such leaps and bounds that
even some well-informed mining men
are eXcusable for not recognizing her
Importance. However, if the Mining
Reporter wishes to maintain its repu-
tation, it would be we'll for it to send a
representative through Arizona at
once, and enlighten its editor, and also
its readers, on what is being accom-
plished in the great southwest.

Tucson people are up in arms
against local dairymen, claiming that
milk sold to customers was 'embalm-
ed" If such proves to be the fact
those engaged in the business had best
seek new location. II is claimed that
several children have died from using
this poisoned milk. The stuff used to
preserve the milk is supposed to be
prcscrvalinc, which is used by en-
balmcrs for preserving corpses of hui
man beings. 1t is the same stuff used
in the famous embalmed beef of Span
ish-Americau war fame. For the sake
of humanity in general it is to be
hoped that careful analysis will show
that those who have made the charges
were mistaken, but if not, then the mon
stcrs who perpetrate such an outrage
should be treated like other murderers.
