Doping An Elephant.

knives could not cut 1t as fast as de-
sired. So recourse was had at once to
common carpenters chisels and NAL
le its, and they were piled busily. AS
quickly as a portion of the diseased
flesh had been loosened sufficiently by
the chisels, a common hand-saw was
used to sever ii.
Still the elephant, beyond twitching
his legs spasmodically once or twice,
had not given any indications of pain
during the two hours consumed by the
cutting and chiseling and saving. But
when the irrigation of the wound be-
gan Marty flung her legs around in SO
lively a manner that the Enclosure was
vacated in a hurry. The same demon
stration occurred during the cauteri-
cation, which had to be done most
thoroughly. But if the animal felt
pain during this time it gave no indi-
cation of it other than by those mo-
lions. 1t did not below and it's regu-
lar deep breathing continued without
interruption.
Fortunately, the wounds in her poor
feet and the amputated portions were
not where they interfered with stand
ing, and they healed rapidly. Marty
Is feeling fine now, and has recovered
her old good temper entirely.

without even wincing. At times, DUR
ing the progress of the operations, the
main would make her mighty BODY
tremble from her wide ears to her III
tie tail, but she did not move her SUI
fering foot an inch. And When the
keeper spoke to her sympathetically
and coaxingly, as he cut deep into her
end soles, she would stroke MIN
gently with her trunk even while she
was grooming with agony.
Men say that whenever she saw her
beloved keeper approach Marly's eyes
those piglike elephant eyes-Would
become almost humanity beautiful. The
visitors to the Geological Garden who
did not see this know that the mar
never could arrive in sight without
eliciting mighty trumpetings n
etampings and other elephantine signs
of deep Joy.
Under these circumstances the fact
shat Marty was a great sufferer from
sore feet did not bother any one mucn,
for the keeper could enter her house
day or night and cut and saw and file
and sandpaper her toes till they were
tn proper shape, says New York Press.
But, after almost fifteen years of un-
Interrupted companionship, the Oh
man died. For several weeks after
that Marty permitted others to min
lister to her and was docile enough, but
without cessation she kept watching
and calling for her friend. Every ap-
--o1aI;,r -o1oc+rion uhn 1nnRQd of all
like him was greeted with trumpet
blasts until he came near enough for
the elephant to discover that he was
not the one for whom she was waiting.
At last she seemed to realize that
her beloved keeper would not return
And from that moment Marty was 8
changed beast. She attacked none OF
those who served her. But her be-
hayfor spoke clearly of her frame Of
mind. Had she been able to speak she
could not have expressed more clearly
her dislike for all in the gardens.
Still, with the great sense which she
had displayed during the twenty-five
wears of her s~ojourn in the Zoo, she
objected actively to nothing except one
thing. She permitted the new keep

 DISTRICT
 The Tyndall district was reorpan. ized November l7th, 1875, by Marx Lully and associates.
 It commences at the highest peak of the Santa Rita mountains, thence west twelve miles, thence south twenty miles, thence east twenty miles, thence north twenty miles thence eight miles to place of begin. ming. The Aztec mining district ad, joins the Tyndall on the east
 
 In the Tyndall district the follow. ing mines are now being developed:
 The Apache Chief" and group, sold by Mark Lully to the Santa Rita Min. ing Co.,, tTilden R. French, treasurer of Cincinnati and associates for eighty thousand dollars They have of shafts, and tunnels 1000 feet and are shipping rich ore.
 On the opposite side of the hill from this mine is the old Goldtree mine sold by Mark LulIy and now being de. yeloped by Albert Steinfeldt, of Zeck. endOrf & Co.,, Tucson, A. T. The shaft has attained depth Of over four hun dred feet and there is over one thou. sand feet of drift and they have over lO0,0 900 tons Of ore on the dump. The Victor" mine also lies nearby which was recently sold by Lully to Denver capitalists for cash. They began shipping ore at once and are now ship ping carload weekly.

A WONDERFUL COUNTRY.
Interesting Desc ription of the Santa
 Rita Moantaius.

The santa Rita mountains over
 look the Santa Cruz valley which has
 been from time immemorial the natu-
 ral highway for travel from the north
 or south, owing to the abundant sup
 ply of water. IL is the only route to
 be found from the Rio Colorado on the
 west to the San Pedro on the east, and
 1t IS reasonable to suppose that pre-
 historic travellers followed the same
 route Ia fact numerous evidences of ancient occupation ren CT it a cer-
 tainty.
 The first mention we find of the country now known as Arizona is made, soon after the conquest of Mex ic0, by Cibazi de VAca, who had ac compani d NarvaeZ to Florida in 1858 He, with four others deserted, and made with across the Miss issppi and Rio Grande and then souJhward to re- join his countrymen in Mexico He carried bick glowing accounts Of the vast riches in gold, silver aud jewels to be found ia the new and strange country
 Soon afrer this. 1888 or g, the Span. ish viceroy, Mend)zl, ordered an ex- petition to explore the country so glowingly described by de Vaca, but failing to tind the wealth sought for they returned
 It was in March l539 that a new expedition was formed and led by the Padre Marco de Nizi started to find the Seven Cities of Cibola, and although he gave a glowing descrip- tion of his discoveries upon his re- turn in September of the same year it is now generally believed was roman cing.
 NiZi's accounts were so alluring that an expedition of over 1000 men. led by Vazquez de Coronado, explored 1 the country and the evidence is con- elusive that they penetrated to the 1 Canadian river. There is no mention 1 in Spanish records of any other expe- ditlon until that of Antonio de Espejo | in l552. Then comes the expedition of | de Ornate (l595) who had received per- | mission to establish a colony among the MoQuis Hopis) and Nayajos
 For century and a half, now, Spanish records are silent regarding | this portion of the country and then | began the mission building period | during which missions were erected at many points, those of Saint Gertrude, at Tub ic, San Xavier del Bac, ten miles south of Tucson; St. Joseph de Tumacacor; San Miguel, Sonoita; Guebabi, Calabazas, Ariyaca and San ta Ana, and, later, labout l800) one at Yuma. The date of the building of the mission in the San Pedro valley is uncertain.
 Evidences of the existence of the precious metals in the mountains did not long escape the avaricious eyes of the Spanish adventurers and there are records, dating so far back as TAI, of the discovery of large masses of native silver in balls, sheets aud irregular forms, one of winch weighed 270O pounds. And the records show beyond d boubt that the Santa Rita m0un- tains were the principal field from which this wealth was acquired, aud as early as l775 DO less than 200 mines ; were being worked in this field, Gala. { basas being the central town of the f district.

 land laying north of the present in-
 ternational line until the beginning
 of the of the civil war in 1861 there
 was considerable activity in mining
 in Arizona, but the war Interfered
 with work for some years. Then came
 the wars with the Apaches which ren- dered it very hazardous to stray far
 from the forts or large towns without an armed guard.
 The Indians subdued and Geronimo and the most dangerous of his follow CTS removed to Florida a wonderful development of mining industries be- gan in the southwest. First it was silver, with which the markets of the world were soon glutted. Then came the development of the gold and cop Der mines, d worK that ls still gnlng on, the history Uf which is so well known that it needs DO recapltulation. The results are in such camps as Clifton, Pearce, Morenci, Globe, Bis bee and others scattered over the ter rit0ry.
 About 1875 Mark Lully became in- terested in and identified with the SaEta Rita mines, and has been per sstent, tireless and invaluable factor in their development ever since Well informed ia all that pertains to min ing, possessed of shrewd business sagaclty with reputation for ster- ling honesty and fair dealing, he has done more to develop this mineral field than any other one man, and is today reapiug part of his reward for years of tireless industry.
 NATURAL RESOURCES OF THE SANTA
 RITA MOUNTAINS.
 Few, if any, portions of Arizona are so favorably situated and endowed for mining purposes as are these noun tains. Not only does the Santa Cruz river flow within their shadow, but an abundance of water is to be found in their springs which gush from it's rugged sides, and in sinking shafts and running tunnels indications are found Of still further supply
 In the summer the mountains are covered to the summit with verdure. represented by some of the most nu- tritious grasses, which, curing as they stand, afford unlimited feed for win ter And adjacent to the springs are fertile patches which can easily he into gardens from which to raise vegetables of all kinds Thus man and beast are supplied from Ma ture's bounteous storehouse
 Of timber for fuel and timbering purposes there is lavish supply, for the m0uutains are thickly covered with oak, ceda', juniper, pine, ash, sycamore, iron wood. mountain mahogany, poplar, manza- llta anu mesquite. owing to the abundant water supply this portion )f the country has more than the aver ige supply of valuable timber and the supply appears to be unfailing.
 There is, aud will be for many years ,o come, an abundance of small game, uch as quail, doves, rabbit, etc., deer md bear are also still found, though | hey are being rapidly hunted out.
 But of all the charms of this Para Ilse the climate is the most to be ,raised. A sky of deepest azure is Inclouded ten months in the year and he sun, which makes the valley be. ow of furnace warmth, warns the DOuntain air to q most deliphtful

GEOLOGY


 The highest spur Of the foothills. the Apache ridge, which shuts iu the valley on the east, consists of d crys. talloe feldsparic rock containing some hornblend The lower hills to the west consist of metamorphic porphyry having compact gray base. impreg. hated with carbonate uf lime, and having numerous crystals Of opaque white, tricime feldspar and dark gray mica in hexogonal plates. It also con. tains specks of magnetic iron. Both these rocks the feldspar- r-hornblend and metamorphic porphYry contain argenLiferous veins.
 The south wall of the valley is formed by high and castellated bluffs of porphyry, conglomerate and tri. facious strata
 The veins of the southern spur of the Santa Rita occur in a feldspatic porphyry characterized by the absence of quartz and the presence of horn. blend. They are not isolated occur. rences, but as is usual in true Assure veins, appear in groups. The entire range of hills, from the Apache mourn tains to the Santa Rita peak is an ex- tensive network of lodes. They diff. fer but little in the character of their outcrops, usually more or less porous quartz backened with oxide of man. ganese, or reddened with that of iron. Frequently green, blue and yellow col. brings betray the decomposition pro- ducts of our argentiferous fahl ores. The different leads present remark able uniformity of character. Hav-

STATE ENDS ITS
 SIDE OF THE CASE
CALEB POWERS TAKES THE STAND IN HIS OWN BEHALF AND DENIES EVERYTHING SWORN AGAINST HIM.

Georgetown, Ky. October 19.-John W. Ray. clerk to Applegate Judge White, was the first witness this morning. He testified that an hour before Goebel was shot. on January 30. Leander Guffy, the tlpstaff. of the Court of Appeals and son of Judge B. D. L. Guffy. said: "Goebel will never be Governor. He will be shot before the General Assembly meets this morning."
 At 9:2o o'clock the commonwealth closed it's case. but MT. Franklin said he wanted the jury to visit the scene of the tragedy before the argument was heard. Judge Cantrell said he would consider the mat ter of taking the jury to Frankfort later
 The prisoner then retired to consult with his counsel, and in a few moments Jere Morgan began to speak, setting fourth briefly the defendants side of the case.
 Powers in his testimony said that when Goebel was killed he did not have any acquaintance with Jim Howard, Berry Howard. Dick Combs or Harlan Whit taker, with whom he had been indicted. He had never been in meeting of any sort with any of the men indicted with him except Charles Finley. He denied that he had been in conference with Wharton Golden relative to any matter. Powers' testimony was largely confined to specific denials of the testimony of the leading witnesses for the commonwealth.
 Court adjourned until Monday, when PoWers will again take the stand.

THE SECOND HALE.

Nashville kicked off to Auburns 2S-yard line, whereupon Auburn seemed to take new lease on life and started down the field at fairly lively clip Both teams appeared, however, to be anxious not to overtax themselves. and every minute or so some player would lay out and call for the water boy If not that. hairs were being split by the captains over a certain construction of the foot ball rules. It was all very tiresome to an onlooker. Auburn kept gaining. though but finally lost the ball on Nashviiles 85- yard line. Alter few gains through center Nashville worked the brilliant double pass. in which Choate made the long run for touchdown. as already de- scribed above. After the goal was kicked the score stood r to for Nashville.
 Auburn kicked off and Nashville got inc ball on the 35-yard line gradually worked it back to the center of the field and there lost it. Auburn in turn advanced fifteen or twenty yards and then lost the ball. Blackburn of Nashville punted the ball to Auburn's 25-yard line, which was the first punt of the game. Auburn had the misfortune to lose the ball about the 30- yard line. They made a vigorous stand and got 1t back on the 22-yard line, but couldn't hold it.
