There were now SD days.

Then came saddcr days, for two
sores, which were regarded rs omnous,

Dr. Chas. II. Utter, prominent physi- clan of Panama, Columbia, in recent letter states: @Last March had as 8 patient young lady sixteen years of age, who had very bad attack of dysentery. Everything ] prescribed for her proved intellectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sure she would die. She had be- come so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a study for me, but 1 thought of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it.

A MORALES FAKE.
Bo. WhiteNides Accused of Shooting a
 Man.

The Bisben Review contains the fol- lowing sensational article:
 From gentleman, who arrived in Bisbee yesterday from Nogales, we learn of shooting affray which oc> cured in Nogales Wednesday night, in which Professor William Schuster was seriously, if not fatally, shot by Bo. Whiteside, in the saloon of J. c. Gates. The shooting occurred 9. late hour and the full particulars were not obtainable when the train left Nogales yesterday morning.
 "It seems that Schuster was in the saloon owned by Gates, when White sides entered at side door and opened fire. Four or five shots were fired, two of them taking effect. The cause of the shooting conld not be learned.
 "At the second shot Schuster sank to the floor and Gates and Whitesides made their escape across the line,
 bhCu tA<c tfdAA iCtt NO5 dico cSAuo- ter was not expected to live. The wounded man is mining expert of prominence in Sonora and makes his headquarters at Nogales.
 "Bo. Whitesides, who did the shoot ing, is a bartender, and at one time was resident of Silver King camp in Pinal county, and served one term as county recorder Of that county. He is man forty or fifty years of age and is married"
 The Nogales Oasis of the 24th instant says the foundation for the foregoing is the simple fact that someone set of Chinese bomb under chair in which Schuster was asleep, and then gives the following as Prof. Schuster's version of the affray: "DeF hexblosion ot dynimidt unter 8 mans who valis ashleep in der chair," says Schuster, ''is very drying to der nerves, und if can nodt whip der dam rascal vat wanted to assissenade me und sed of dot Chinese bum unter me, den I was DO mining exbert, already yedt.

Mark Twain on Mines.

So many stories are now afioat in the daily press about lost mines. and wonderful new discoveries, that it may not be out place to reprint some remarks of Mark Twain on the subject of rich gold deposits, which originally appeared forty years ago iu the Cali fornia paper he was connected with.
 II have just seen your dispatch from San Franciscoin the Saturday Evening Post" wrote Mark, "about gold in so- lution in Calistoga Springs, and about the proprietor having extracted I,60O ounces of gold of the utmost fneness from two barrels of water during the past fortnight, by 6 process known only to himself. This will surprise many of your readers, but it does not surprise me, for I once owned these springs myself. What does surprise me, however, is the falling off in rich ness of the water. In my time the yield was dollar dipperful. am not saying this to injure the property in case sale is contemplated. am saying it in the interest of history. It may be that the hotel proprietor's pro- cess is an Inferior one. Yes, that may be the fault.

A Bad One.
From the Bisbee Review.l


 We take the following from the Fl Paso Herald, which seems to have swallowed one S. L. Pearce whole, his numerous schemes, dirty habits and all. On Thursday it published the fol- lowing:
 The owners of the Sunset and Buenos Ayres Mining companies, who have been contemplating erecting Q five hundred ton smelter in Chihnahua, have about decided to erect the plant in El Paso to get the advantage of the numerous railroads already here and the two new ones building.
 S. l.. Pearce, of Chihuahua, the gen. eral manager of the two mining com panies, and one of the leading mining men of that section, is in Ei Paso to- day to investigate the situation and decide on location. Mir. Pearce says that his company has fully decided to erect 8 smelter here or at Chihuahua and has the plans all complete for the plant. It will be 500-ton plant, or half the size of the Fl Paso smelter.
 Mir. Pearce also says that the com panies represented in the enterprise have sufficient mines in Mexico and Arizona to operate 8 smelter of thai size butexpects to do a general cus- tom business. The smelter company will be organized by the stockholder: in the mining companies and the capi- tai placed at $750,00O.

Mark Smiths House Robbed.
From the Tucson cisizen.l

While Hon. Mark Smith was in Cali fornia during the past month, burglars effected an entrance into his house on Stone avenue and plundered it of about $500 worth of effects.
 The house had been left in charge of Col. Breatnitt, but he left for the East about two weeks ago.
 The burglars probably en tered with a skeleton key, as no evidence was found to go.to prove that they forced door or window.
 Among the articles taken was valu- able shotgun, a gift of Parker, the maker, who is personal friend of Mir. Smith. They also took fine revolver, tuxedo suit, Prince Albert suit, a dress suit and other smaller articles of wearing apparel. They plundered the beds of all the linen and helped them selves to any knick-knacks about the house that caught their eye. There Is no clew to the thieves but Mir. Smith has put the case in charge of the city police department, and it is hoped they will bo arrested and the goods recovered.

Nothing precipitatss and solidifes this gold so readily as contact with human flesh heated by passion.

He sighed right along, and the time that John Harblnson and Aleck Norton quarreled about Harbinson's dog, they stood there swearing at each other; and they knew how, and what they didn't know about swearing they couldn't learn from you or me, not by good deal and at the end of every three or four minutes they had to stop and de- clare dividend. If they didn't their jaws would clog up so they couldn't get big. nine-syllable ones out at all, and when the wind was done blowing they cleaned. up just about $l6,000 apiece.

The Drouth.

The great drouth which has been experienced by the Western States bordering on the arid region, at 8 cost of millions of dollars, has been the subject of much speculation. It is firmly believed by the people in the drouth-stricken area that were the arid lands themselves fully irrigated. the winds which now blow hot from them and scorch and wither the crops of the States to their East would, by coming across green fields and we'll watered. areas, be so modified and moisture-laden as to lessen the danger of such dry period.

ACTIVE WORK.
Busy Railroad Building Season in this
 Direction.
From the Tombstone Prospector.l


 From the Tombstone Prospector.l
 There is great and growing inten- sity of activity in railway matters in the southwest, in fact it is not likely that in any locality has there ever been, at one time, so much building and planning of railroads as in south ern and central Arizona and northern Mexico.
 The immense amount of capital which is flowing into the mining and agricultural districts is making neces- sary the rapid equipment of transpor- tation facilities, aud lines are being laid as speedily as material can be ob- tained. By far the most important work is being done along the territory on both sides of the International boundary line. The Southern Pacific is planning road to reach far down the coast of the Gulf of California, opening millions of acres of fruit and agricultural lands on the west and giv- ing an entrance and an outlet to the great mining districts and stock ranges in the mountains to the east.
 Another great move is that of Phelps, Dodge & Co.,, of New York, the owners of vast copper interests in southeast ern Arizona and northern Sonora. Until recently there was nopublic con ception of the immensity of the plans which are quietly being worked out by this company.
 The system shows clever plan to tap vast mineral regions with new rail- ways in such way that the mines will have direct commu nication over their own lines with competitive railroad point, rendering the cost of transport ing bullion and supplies much cheaper.
 With lines tapping Tombstone, Glee- son and Pearce in Cochise county and plans outlined for roads in Graham and Gila counties and in northern and central Arizona, with probability oi the Rock Island running its main line through Tucson, Florence and Phoe. nix to the coast, the era of railroad building in Arizona has evidently set ir in earnest.

Bringing Remains to Flagsta f.

K. A. Shaw, secretary of the Phoenix local Masonic lodge, received letter yesterday from T. J. Coalter of Flag staff, in which further particulars of the death of John McCarty are given. The letter is as follows:
 FLAGSTAFF, August 21, 1901. r. A. Shaw, Phoenix, Ariz:
 Dear Sir and Brother :-Yo1r two tel egrams relative to the finding of the body of our late brother John McCarty received, and will say in reply that since sending my wire to-day, the cor oner and his party concluded tc start to-day which they did. They left town this afternoon about o'clock, taking with them temporary casket in which to bring the remains to Flag staff. The body being in such bad condition it was thought necessary to do this, the undertaken taking simply the zinc lining of metallic case, and not taking the entire casket.
 MT. Day and Mr. Brown, the com | panions of and members of Brother MeCarty's hunting party, arrived in Flagstaff to-day about noon, with the news that the body had been found and that it was very badly mutilated having been almost torn into pieces the head severed from the body; the back otherwise disfgured. Its condi- tion showed beyond doubt, that he had been attacked by a bear.
 He had evidently killed one bear, as the carcass and hide were found in the vicinity-this bear having been skin. ned. The body was found in the bot. tom of small canyon, with gur near by. The gun had exploded about the middle of the barrel, which acci | dent probably prevented McCarty iron being able to defend himself agains the attack of the beast. His body wa, found about six miles from the plac. where the party had camped.
 The body will have to be conveyed on horseback from where it was founs in the canyon for distance of abou
