A Pleasant Affair.

A dinner was given by the prominent citizens of Naco at the residence of MT. Milne last week which was brilliant affair and excelled anything in the so. 1 cial way ever attempted in the border town. The Mexican band was in at. tendance, ard the dinner took on the form of state banquet. The distin- guished guests present were: Seno: NJ. Carillo, collector of customs; Senor Max Gavito, vice consul of Mexico; K. V. Daniels, American collector of cus- toms; Stepen Aguirre, agent for Cana nea Copper company; J. Johnson, agent for Copper Queen company; Se- nor Palacios, cashier aduana Mexicana customs; Don Luis Margarelan, of Donnadieu brothers; Senor Sabarzo, ex-collector of customs, La Morita; Lieutenant Paredias, of Sonora.
 The toastmaster was k. V. Daniels, collector of customs at Naco Mir. Daniels proposed the toast, ''The Two Republics" which was received with great enthusiasm and responded to by Hon. Max Gavito, vice consul of Mex ico, in very pleasant manner, and during the course of his remarks showed the present friendly feeling ex- isting between the two nations.
 Tomorrow the same party will be en- tertained by R. V. Daniels on the American side.

GIVEN HIS LIBERTY.
John Mcclure Who Shot Mexican at NaCO Sonora, Will Soon Return to the
 United States.

| The readers of the REVIEW will re- member reading three weeks ago an account of the shooting scrape which occurred at Naco Sonora between a Mexican bar tender and boy and his father named Mcclure. The Mexican was wounded in the shoulder by a charge of buck shot fired from shot gun in the hands of the irate father and was also shot in the wrist. After the shooting the old gentleman es- capped across the line, but the boy was not so fortunate and ran around the house directly into the arms of Mex ican commissary. He was arrested and held at Naco until the arrival of the district judge. The evidence was taken at Naco and the prisoner taken to Arispe. On the journey from Naco to Arispe the American boy rode with the judge in his own carriage. Upon their arrival there the wounded Mexi- can refused to make complaint against the boy, and after further investigating the case the judge ordered his release from the jail and he was given the lib erty of the town, and upon the approval of the supreme court, which is expect ed to arrive every day, he wilt be al- lowed to return to the United States. It transpires now that the Mexican wounded was also a citizen of the United States and was formerly resi- dent of Jerome. The return of Me Guire from Arispe, after having been confined in Mexican jail, will go long ways towards dispelling the gen. eral idea that Americans abandon all hope when placed under arrest in the manana land

LOST HIS GUN.
A Deputy Sheriff Crosses the Line at NaCO and a COmmissary Dis Arms Him.

A story has just leaked out at Naco which reached Bisbee this week, wherein "would-be deputy" sheriff lost his gun in Naco Sonora some weeks ago and it was only by the kindly interferences of the Mexican vice consul that he was enabled to gain possession of his firearms.
 From the particulars as learned by a REVIEW reporter, it seems that the business of his office took this young officer to Naco late one evening. Ar irving in town late at night he found all the restaurants closed on the Amer ican side of the line and wondering ''howe" he was to find something to eat he wandered over into Naco Sonora in company with companion in search of tamale joint. Strapped at his side he carried a 45 six shooter that looked like cannon to some of the dark skinned natives. The tamale man was finally located and in senatorian tones ordered to prepare feast for two braves and never mind the expense.
 Now the arrival of this deputy and companion, who by the way carried a bad looking knife, had put the police force in operation and by the time all the machinery connected with this fa- nous department of Mexican justice was in good working order, the deputy and companion were just emerging from the tamale and frijole reastaur- ant.
 A commissary approached in the darkness and without the formality of an introduction demanded the wea- pons carried by the two Americans. All arguments were useless-even pa- pers showing the authority of the de- putty were without avail and the Mexi- can coniscated the weapons.
 At daylight the next morning there came a light tap at the door of the Mexican vice consul. That official is not an early riser and in his night robes listened to the tale of woe which was poured into his ear through the key-hole. Now the vice consul is an obliging gentlemen and knowing the young man personally, quickly penned a note to the commissary, which put the deputy and companion again in possession of their arms.
 Since that time an order has been issued allowing officers to pass to and fro across the line in the discharge of their duties without molestation.

Captain Jack Crawford.

On Monday evening next in Library Hall the people of Bisbee will have al opportunity of listening to an intel lectual treat, as Captain Jack Crawford the famous poet scout will be here Captain Jack is on his way east iron Los Angeles and en route has stopped at Phoenix and Tucson where he has received cordial reception anG lectured to full houses at each place.
 In speaking of his lecture in Phoenix the Republican says:
 The captains talk was unique and entertaining holding the close atten. tion of 2 large crowd until the conclu. sion. His delivery is not after the style of lecturer. In fact he at. tempts to correct the belief that his talks are what are commonly called lectures and he brands his descriptions of western characters and lives and his recitals of thrilling frontier ad- ventures as "medlys." He delivered last night what he calls the "Cowboy medley."
 Captain Crawford has Q style on the lecture platform particularly his own and his manner captivates the audience in the beginning and holds them at will throughout the evening.
 Captain Crawford was with Buffalo Bill's' Wild West show but soon turned again to his literary work. Captain Crawford's latest role is that of playwright.
 He will be heard at Library Hall next Monday evening.

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.

Phoenix, Ariz.. November 5.-The American Mining News contains the following article about the great United Verde mine the property of Senator W. H. Clark, which, if correct. would in- dicate that it is probably the richest mine in the world and he the richest man.
 ''It has only lately come to light that the average value of the ore taken from the United Verde is s75 per ton in all values-gold, silver and copper. The mine, so far as has been developed, in cluding explorations and diamond drill ing below the present workings. shows an immense ore chimney, 400 by 600 feet across. that has been explored by shafts, tunnels and drill holes to a depth of 14OO feet.
 Lust how it will be possible to work this mine down before the heat limit is reached is hard to say. but reasonable estimate would be 5000 feet. An esti- mate by one of the best mining engi- neers in this country shows that the mine to the depth of 400 feet contains 3s6 100000 cubic feet of ore, and, esti- mating eleven cubic feet to the ton. there are practically 2s.0Ooooo tons in sight.
 If we carry these little further on the present face values of the United Verde we have the average value of the ore equaling s2,bo0. .ooo0o0. The present owner of the property has refused $5O0,- 000000 for the mine.''

A Good Roads Syndicate.

Superintendent Jackson of this county proposes to form a good roads combine or zollverein. He proposes that the roads of Jefferson, Blount, Bibb, Shelby, Walker, St. Clair and Tuscaloosa be united at county bound aries until they become one system, all the main roads of the counties named to be brought up to the stand ard maintained in the roads of Jeffer- son County. Such roads can be built at a cost of about $1,0o0 mile. and no one of the counties named should have to build more than twenty-five miles in order to link the seven coun- ties together. These counties may be said to constitute the district known in the iron, steel and coal trades as the Birmingham district.
 It is impossible in one short article to name the advantages of good roads over bad roads to county, and we will not attempt to cover the ground. The advantages of the one and the disadvantages of the other will soon become manifest to every citizen of the seven counties who is compelled to use the public roads. The six coun- ties surrounding Jefferson County have probably the poorest roads in the State.
 If the scheme of Colonel Jackson should be adopted the seven counties could be and would be covered by rural free delivery routes, and post office would thus be brought as much to every mans door in those counties, as it now is to the people of Birming- ham or of any other city. Few people in cities go near postoffice nowadays the postofflce is carried to them at their homes or places of business. So 1t will be in Bibb, Blount, Shelby, St. Clair. Walker and Tuscaloosa Counties if the Jackson scheme crystallizes into fact.

WHEN DEATH CALLS.

Father Vaughan in Spectator.
 Leo Grindon, when lecturer at the Royal School of Medicine in Manches- ter, wrote: When death is actually about to happen, the fear of 1t is in a great measure lost. At all events. it is not common. as is we'll known to those whose professions lead them to the pill lows of the dying
 My own experience, now extending over many years. Is entirely in harmony with the above authority. To tell the truth, have always been puzzled at the extraordinary calm, peace and freedom from anxiety that I have observerd in the dying. even in those who have not been models of virtue. and since it is a subject which has always possessed a certain fascination for me, I have again and again questioned other priests re- garding their experience, which has In no case differed from my own.

ANOTHER EDITORS HOUSE.

From the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
 So much has been said about the new house we are going to build on our farm in the edge of town that we feel an ex- planation is due to the country. In the first place. it is not to cost $5o,0OO or half that sum. It Is not true that we said we were going to have the finest house in the state. The facts are these: We asked our wife one day if she wouldn't like a nine-room cottage with real plas- tering on the walls, @ cistern. and a large front hall. with a stairway curving grace fully up to the second floor. and she said all she wanted was a good. roomy shack with plenty of closets. big pantry, and a place where she could split the kind- ling without the neighbors seeing her. We may add that no change has been made in the plans then suggested. and there has been no further conversation about the matter. We will also state that we are not thinking of building house. We couldn't raise the scads to build Q one story chicken coop. let alone a $50O00 mansion. We haven't got farm, either here or anywhere else. If we had we'd go and live on 1t, or we'd sell it and use the money in getting out of this durned town, where half the people read our paper by borrowing it and the other half take the paper and don't pay for it. That ought to hold these people who have been talking about us for awhile.
