 well known old-time prospectors of this
 section, who own a group Of fifteen
 claims about three or four miles from
 Morenci, near Eagle river, and upon which they have spent several thousand
 dollars in development work, with most
 favorable results, have about decided to
 incorporate a home company for the
 further exploitation of their property.
 In this they have been encouraged by
 several of the best known mining men
 of Morenci, who are familiar with their
 property, and who will also take stock
 in the proposed new company. The ore now now being taken out of the property by Messrs. Molder & Jenkins averages from 40 to per cent. copper, IS ounces silver and 8 gold per ton. So far this rich ore is found only in small streaks, but there are many of them, which can be traced from the surface to the depth of the present shaft. more than 100 feet, with more or less regularity. Men who are familiar with the district claim that these stringers will surely lead to large bodies.of ore if followed deep enough into the earth, but deep mining is ex- pensive, and that is why the boys have decided to incorporate d company. Every dollar received from the sale of stock will be put into the development of the property, hence investors can feel sure that their money will be properly and judiciously expended. All of the claims show ore in place, and are located in most favored sec tion of the district, and include mill site on Eagle river, with an abundant supply of never failing water. It is ] the intention of the promoters of this | new company to sink the S haft which | shows these stringers of this rich ore, | at least POO feet deeper, and then cross cut in search Of the main body of ore | from which these stringers eminate. The treasury stock will be placed on the market at ten cents per share, which have a par value Of S1 each. The stock will be fully paid and non- assessable. About all of the first block of stock has been spoken for by people living in Morenci, most of whom are familiar with the property The ERA wishes the new company ! grand success. None are more de- serving of success than John Molder and Bill Jenkins.

Major Wham, formerly paymaster in the United States army, has been placed on the retired list. Wham was held up in this county while on his way to Fort Thomas to pay off the troops, and the money never was recovered. The major was courtmartialed in 1895, and dismissed from the service, the court, however, recommended elem ency, and the president commuted the sentence to suspension and half pay. He appealed to congress and three years ago an act was passed allowing the president to restore him to the rank he would have had but for the suspension. The president never acted upon this authority. A proviso was inserted in the last army bill authoriz- ing the president to retire suspended officers. The major is well known in this section.

Romulo Chavez left last week for Chihuahua, deXico, with young man who recently lost his mind in this city. It seems that a letter was written to the young man informing him of his mothers death, which was the cause of his losing his mind. It afterwards de- veloped that the author of the letter was misiuformed, and that the young mans mother was not dead. Mir. Chavez advanced the money necessary to take tie young man home, and will expect the county to reimburse him for the outlay. During Mr. Chavez absence his business was left in charge of c. O. Bustamente. The place was burglarized Monday night, and the cash drawer carried away, but Mr. Bustamente had removed all the cash before closing the house in the evening. Only watch and a ring, were secured by the thief.

siclans. to Mr.. Il. NJ. Sullivan, the sec.
retary Of the association. 1t was as fol-
lows:
"As President Mckinley was dying l

heard him say his last words. His wife
came into the room, and he said to her:
'Goodby, all; goodby. 1t is Gods way
His will be done, not ours
"There was some further conversa-
ton with his wife In the way Of leave
taking, but this should not be repeated.
About IN hour later he said to his wife
Nearer, my God, to thee, e'en though
1t be cross, has been my constant
prayer He tried to say something
more, but could not catch 1t. I gave
out at the time the first sentence rs be-
Ing the most appropriate to be remem-
bered as his last words. l wrote them
down at the time, so that there can be
no question about it."
A letter from President Roosevelt re-
gretting his inability to be present was
