MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Giant Trees of the Pacific Coast Have Never Been In JseD-
 arly.

Statements in the California papers that the sequoias have no commercial value are apt to create surprise at all the effort that has been needed to begin the work of making these gi- ant trees public instead of private property in order to preserve them. If they have a sentimental value only no great price should be asked for them. Indeed, that is the argument addressed to the eastern owner of the Calaveras grove, with whom the national government is dickering. Hitherto it has been threatening un- less his price was paid to convert the trees into lumber, when "every lumberman knows that the trees are of no value for milling" says the San Francisco Chronicle.
 In the first place, the San Francis co paper explains, the cost of felling any one of the 92 big trees on the 500-acre tract would be excessive. It would take five men 22 days to bore enough holes through any tree 30 feet in diameter. After being felled the trunk would have to be cut into 40- foot lengths to be serviceaole. A block of wood, say B feet in diam eter by 40 feet in length, would weigh about GOO tons, and no ma chinery has yet been built capable of handling it. No saw could work on such section, if it were possible to get it to a mill, and to split it with gested, would shatter the log and spoil the lumber. In other words, the big trees are vastly too massive for commercial use.

LOVE OF TWO GIRATYHS.
wAoa Separated They 0DSo1 RoU9s 1a OAsihG LonGinGly Across
 at Bash Other.

Tn the Cincinnati zoo dwelt two giraffes, writes Clifford Howard, in telling some "Love Stories of the Zoo," in Ladies' Home Journal. Giraffes are not noted for their affection, yet these two exhibited every evidence of true devotion to each other. The male never seemed to tire of caressing the long, slender neck of his partner, and, what was most unusual, would fre- quently leave for her the softest and choicest bits of food. On one occasion, when she was removed from the pen for e short time and quartered near by, he seemed to find consolation in some bits of cloth that had been used to bind her throat; always lying down beside them, no matter where they happened to be placed. And dur ing this temporary separation the two would spend hours gazing longingly at each other across the space that divided them. When they were again united they made manifest their su- preme happiness by frolicking about like frisky colts, blissfully unmindfnl of the fact that such behavior was anything but picturesque in creatures of their build.

The Gila river is still beyond fording above Florence, and passengers and freight for Kelvin camp must be trans ferred by cable and car, swung across the stream. The experience of ferry ing by this original method is said to be hair-raising one, and the popula- tion of the camp usually gathers in force to enjoy the terror of the new conner making his first trip in the bucket. A year ago the bucket stuck at the middle of the passage, and the passenger was compelled to sit for hours uncOmfOrtably swung above the roar ing torrent.

 And yet of the coyote, the poor, un- loved, cowardly coyote, the grey hound is aIraid. He will run down . rabbit, seize him by the throat and with jerk break his neck, and then carry him to his master. But let coyote come in sight, and the grey hound loses his courage. As long as the coyote keeps running the hound will run after him, but as soon as the coyote stops short and faces about, the greyhound turns and runs away as fast as he can. A coyote never does more serious harm than to prowl about the village streets at night in the winter in search of meat, which some unwary housekeeper may have left outside.

The Collection Of
Arizona Ores.

Mr.. L. H. Hamilton, secretary OF the
Phoenix and Maricopa board of trade,
has written letter to The Citizen, ask.
ing that the mine owners OF Pima county
be urged to send samples OF ores from
their mines to the Phoenix board, where
they will be properly labeled and dis.
played.
The great mineral resources OF Pima
county should be brought before the
people OF Phoenix and those who come
there from eastern cities to spend the
winter. Among the visitors to Phoenix
each winter are hundreds of investors
men who are anxious to place their
money in good mines. If the mines OF
Pima county unite and send samples Of
their best ores to Phoenix no doubt the
benefit to the mining interests will be
very great.
The Citizen is glad to urge this move
ment on the part of the miners OF this
county. Every individual miner should
take interest enough to send his own
ores, and Secretary Hamilton will do
his part toward arranging them in an
attractive manner for the examination
of the visitors to the board of trade

Deaf People
Walk the Tracks.

Railroad men believe, and cannot be
shaken in their belief. that deaf per
sons have predilection for walking on
railroad tracks. Whether this is be.
cause the jar and grind of train make
deaf men think he can hear or whe.
ther the average human creature
naturally tends to do those things he
ought not to do are questions they dc
not discuss, but they insist upon their
belief. -
President F. d., Underwood, of the
Erie Railroad, who recently left the
Baltimore and Ohio, was. many years
ago division superintendent on the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul Rail
road. He tells of an engineer of fast
freight train who called on him at that
time and asked him to prevent deal
old woman from walking on the tracks
along one section of that division. Sew.
eral times the engineer barely missed
running over her, and he was terrified
lest fatal accident should happen to
her.
"The only way to prevent deaf per-
son from walking ON the track" said
Mr.. Underwood, "would be to cut his
legs off,"
THAT is Just what will do for my
deaf old women il you cannot stop her, J"
replied the engineer.
Investigation showed that she was ac-
cuetomed to go to summer hotel to
sell baskets and embroidery and that

Mysterious
Disappearance.

Jose Martinez has disappeared ae
though the desert had spirited him
away.
1t is strange case and one which is
puzzling the officers as much as it does
Chris Christensen, who, besides owning
Lexington stables, has the distinction oil
being pointed out as the driver OF the
Southern Pacific ambulance. The big
corporation specifically agreed that
Chris should drive the ambulance, for
it is costly vehicle and Chris has the
reputation in the Southern Pacific offices
in San Francisco as careful driver. But
the fact that Chris is a good driver il
out OF place only in the preface OF a
story OF such intense interest.
1t seems that Mexican whose name
is given above was knocked insensible
by moving train. The accident hap
pened at Pantano where the Mexican
was working with the section force.
His companions picked him up think.
ing he was dead. But when there was
found to be sign of life he was brought
into Tucson and the ambulance was
waiting to receive the injured man when
the train pulled in.
The man was carefully taken from the
train and placed on stretcher which
slides into the ambulance and provides
the greatest possible ease for those who
ride in that vehicle. The sufferer was
hurried away to the hospital, and Chris.
Christensen, the driver, held the reins
with firm hand. He heard the means
of the lone occupant of the ambulance
and Chris's sympathetic nature was
touched.
Arriving at the hopital Chris. backed
the ambulance to the porch, the attend
ants appeared and opened the door.
Chris. got down to help them remove
the man-but the ambulance was emp
ty. There was not a piece OF hide nor q
sign of hair left.
Chris. looked at the attendants and
the startled men looked at him, and
then all looked about to see if the Mex
ican was in sight. Chris. looked toward
the skies expecting TO see the Mexican
flying heavenward upon angels wings.
There seemed to be no clue to the dis
appearance of the man.
Officers were notified and thorough
search has been made. IT is believed
that the Mexican was only stunned in
the accident at Pantano; that he came
to his senses when he was on the road
to the hospital, and believing that he
was being taken to the burying ground
and had previously been adjudged dead
to the world, the Mexican decided to
quit the ride then and there.
He did 80, and he did It we'll. Few
men could slide ont of a moving ambu-
lance close the door, and slide away
without making blunder which would
give the snap away.
ButJose Martinez did the trick; he
cheated the hospital and perhaps death,
who knows? And thus far he has
cheated the city marshal and the cons
tables and police out of the pleasure of
looking upon his fleeing form.
