The riding club will appear again on
Wednesday for an afternoon trip. The
lady members of the club have decided
to ride astride, a custom which has not
become popular in Tucson, although in
almost all western cities it is general. 1t
is certainly more safe tor the rider and
less harmful to the horse, and public
opinion will soon tolerate it without
comment if the ladies persist in riding
that way.
John Broad, a we'll known mine fore
man, recently in charge OF the Santa
Rita properties, is confined to his room
in the Bellview hotel suffering from a
broken arm and leg. Mr.. Broad and
family live on the third floor OF the no.
tel and while ascending the stairway on
the way to his rooms last Saturday
night he lost his balance and fell to the
ground, distance OF 25 or 80 feet.
Doctors Noon and Augilar were sum
moned and the injured man was carried
to his room. Considering the distance
of the fall Mr.. Broad's escape from
death was miraculous. At last accounts
he was getting along nicely.-Nogales

The Pioneer Historical society held a
meeting at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
to receive the special legislative COM
mittee which came here from Phoenix
to examine into the condition of the ter
ritorial institutions. The committee
found the historical society one of the
most interesting institutions in the ter
ritory, and each member of the COM
mittee was impressed with the work
which has been undertaken by the So
ciety in perpetuating the historical
incidents which made up the life of the
early days of Arizona. The appropria-
tion which the society asks willno doubt
be recommended by the committee and
receive the appreciation OF the legisia-
ture.
The Globe Silver Belt says: Harry
Drachman OF Tucson, q. c. c., X. of P,
of Arizona, was here week ago on the
annual visit to the local lodge, which
the head officer of that order makes
each year. He was given a pleasant
and enjoyable reception on Thursday
evening at the Foresters hail. but not
so good a one as would have been given,
had the members known the date OF his
coming. A letter was sent in ample
time but was delayed in the mail and
came the same night he did. The mem
bers hope that the next time he comes
they will be better prepared to receive
him.

/ The Copper Fra says that a strike Of
/ unusual importance was made last week
on the Comstock, in Bonanza gulch,
five miles from Morenci. The ore is full
of free gold, and is sight good for scre
eyes. Since the strike was made fur
ther developments have been most en-
couraging, and Mrs. Baker, the fortu-
nate owner, is being congratulated by
her many friends. Mrs. Baker is an
old timer in Clifton and spent a cons-
derable amount of money in prospect,
ing and developing. The strike is on
the same vein worked by Ignatio Camp
bell many years ago, during which time
he took out a small fortune. Dick Lake
nan, who owns an extension of the
Comstock, has been operating in the
same section for several years, and has
taken out a considerable amount OF
money from his mines. He is also feel
ing jubilant over the strike.
