nounced the whole thing fraud. No other diamonds were ever found, ex
 cept those planted by Mr. Arnold, and soon thereafter, the bubble burst.
 Arnold was accused of fraud, but
 etrenously denied it, until the broker r
 who sold him the diamonds in Eng
 land. was shown his photograph, which
 he identified and explained the whole transaction. Arnold was arrested in Louisville, Kentucky, and under d is-
 tress he was made to disgorge his ill., gotten gains. There were some. no doubt, among the organizers of the scheme, who were aware of its fraudu- lent nature, but the majority of those interested weIe innocently beguiled by Mir Arnold's flowery description Of the locality which was destined, to hear him tell it. to knock the spots of the South African fields, and to re- legate them to obscurity. Be it said to the credit of the expert who made the examination, that his report, as far as it went was correct, but he like all others at the time, was carried away with excitement. He found diamon ds all right, and that was what he was for. The,expose hurt no one mover, in the sntc thes and he haS sense enough no daubt. to hold out sufficient to keep him out Of the poor house.
 Thus ended one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated upon the peo- ole, and the bursting of the bubble killed for the time being at least, the aspirations of Ralston, which again fell back to its original condition, that of station on one horse mail route.

BILLY BOw-LEGS.

| In the spring Of 1871. at Fort Benton, : Montana, there was a worth .ess half breed Indian, who made living by | selling whiskey 10 Indians. This fel- low in trying to intimidate squaw ,ac- cidental or otherwise, let his pistol go oil, the ball striking a child on its mothers back. The child died that night. The town of Fort Benton was composed of few business men, most of them having stores, hotels, and sa- looms, but the balance were men from all classes, black, white, yellow and brown, and they were known as wolfer5 and buffalo traders.
 These people would camp around Benton all summer and in the fall f n themselves into companies of three and
 five then take barrels Of whiskey out over the Canadian line known as the British possessions, and trade their stuff to the BlOods, Black Foot, and Papans, for buffalo hides. They would water their whiskey until it would almost freeze. A quart of this whiskey would buy fine buffalo robe. These men were considered honest but very rough, and the Fort Benton boys were known far and near as the best Indian fighters ever produced, and many was the hard fought battle that took place where they would be five and ten Indians to one, and l can say truthfully that the Benton boys most | always came out winners. But this | Billy BOw-legs was known as d con- | mon thief, and on this occasion they | thought they would make an example | Of him. He was placed in jail and | when night came they took him out | and gave him the choice Of being tried | for murder or take his chances of a | man one hundred yards away in the | dark with a Winchester. He was told | that it would be the father Of the dead | child who was tO do the shooting. | Billy asked for pair of mOccasins l anu a pair of drawers. He stripped for a run, having confidence in his feet | and the poor craftsmanship of the old . man. The moon was in half circle, | giving dim light, d breeze had | sprung up making il difficult to discern | a man one hundred yards away. Billy | gave a war whOop and started at the word. He made just ten jumps, when the old man sat down and commenced i pumping lead at him. The first shot ] struck him in the back, the second struck in the shoulder, and the third and last hit him in the head and he fell without a groan upon the grass.
 The old Frenchman looked glum the next morning and l asked him what was the matter. He said, II am sorry shot him." asked him why he did not miss, for Billy never would come back and his answer was, "I never thought of it," and believed him.

TERRITORIAL MINING NEWS.

Considerable work is now being done in the Catalina mountains by the Cata- lima Copper Go, and the Star predicts that it will be the first producer from that section.
 The Colorado River gold and copper company. with headquarters in Los Angeles, have decided to erect ten ton shelter on their property in the Empire Flat district, on the Colorado river, above Parker.
 The Gold Hill Mining and Milling company, whose properties are located near Railroad Pass has been doing con siderable development work of late with good results and has Il nice body O. ore in the workings, says the Range News.
 Senators Pcttigrew and Elkins are to construct q railroad to the Colorado river from the Picacho mines, in Yuma county. The mines will soon be sup piled with Il big mill and will com mcncc outputting big tonnage of ore.- Mohave Miner.
 The gold mines over on the desert are turning out rich store of the vel low metal. A run of the Barstow mill on 1000 tons of ludlow ore gave a result of Sl1, ,00O. The mines of that region are rich, but the lack of water has been great impeachment in their develop ment.-MohRve Miner.
 A report from Boston states that President Green of the Greene Con- soiidatcd Mining company. La Cananca, Sonora, Mexico. received dispatch giving the production of the mines, during October as follows: "Orc smelt- cd, 26, 43S, POO pounds; matte produced, 5,6S6. 26l pounds, pure copper contents, ,, 4SS,91O pounds"
 At the copper mines of Arizona and Montana an effort is being made to suspend operations on Sunday. The Anna gamated copper company is the first in the field in the laudabie work and all the other operators are follow ing suit. A miner who works below ground six days in week deserves a day ot rest.-Mohave Miner.
 Mark Lully of Bear" lame came up from Nogales yesterday and registered at the Windsor. Speaking of the San la Rita Mining company's mines, eight miles from Nogalcs in which he is in terested, he said that the company had forty men working. The shaft is down 240 feet and work will be continued on It to a uepth CT 1uO teet.-Star.
 (. l.. Constant returned from the tin mine on the Big Sandy last Tuesday evening. He stated to the Miner man that the showing of tin on the proper ty is good and exhibited some nice samples of the ore. A bond was taken on the property and work will be com menced just as soon as a report to the company can be made.-Mohave Miner.
 In eighteen years Arizona produced copper to the value or nearly Sl42 ,000.- = OCO. This is indeed wonderful show ing when it is considered that the pro- duction of copper in the territory has assumed importance only within the last ten years. Within ten years more the mines ot this territory will rival the best mines in the ld.-Mohave Minor.

In accordance with honored prece- dent and custom, the president of the United States has proclaimed Thurs day, November 2S, 1901, day of thanksgiving and praise.
 While our country mourns for the great American, the foremost citizen Of the world, who by divine decree, which we must not question, has been taken from us, we submit hum bly, to the will of God and rejoice in his love. "Whom the Lord loveth He chasten- eth." Although we may not under stand the inscrutable ways of provid- ence, We are taught to believe and feel that the nation and the people of the world since the first great crucitiXion are made better and strong CT by such sacrifices, and that We have all been brought nearer to God with a clearer knowledge of our responsibil- ities and a quickened ability to per form the duties required of us, public and private. It Is our duty to accept with contrite spirits the awful lesson, severe and uncalled for as it seems to Us, and profit by its teachings.
 We should rejoice and be happy that the republic, resting upon the i'm perishable principles of the constitu- tion, is unshaken; and that he to whose keeping more than all others in now in- trusted the nations honor i. worthy and well qualified" with splendid cour- age and ability to direct the affairs Of this, the greatest 9f the governments of men. We should stjoice and give thanks for the grand achievements which have elevated our nation to the first place and won for 1t the respect and admiration of mank kind. We should praise God that our legislators are aroused 10 the necessity of destroy ing anarchy and better protecting the highest liberties of the people. We should render joyful praise and grate ful acknow ow.edgementS to the Giver of all good for unexamplea national and territorial prosperity, for bountiful har- vests, the great production of precious metals from our mines, for profitable grazing, the rapid development of our wonderful natural resources, the re- growth of all commercial in- terests throughout the country, and the divine grace and favor which en- able our citizens to peacefully pursue | their different vacations in health and | 
 l therefore recommend and request | the people of Arizona to suspend busi- ness and observe the day appointed in | their homes and churches with apprO- priate services of thankful praise for | the blessings we have received and | prayers for the continued care and say ing guidance of the allwise God--the | Supreme Ruler of the universe. in l whose hands the destinies of nations and of men are as grains of sand.
 In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal )f the territory to be affixed at Phoenix, the capital, this eleventh day of No vemb Der, in the year of our Lord nine- cen hundred and one.
