"John Doe" In England.

Forty-nine years ago to-day died
two near relatives-in the legal pro-
fession-of the celebrated MRS. Har-
ris'-John Doe and Richard Roe.
For centuries their connection with
landed property had been extensive
and peculiar. If Smith wished to
eject Jones, Smith became John Doe,
the plaintiff, and Jones was compelled
to join in the legal comedy by becom-
ing Richard Roe, the defendant.
Those names We're also inserted in
criminal proceedings as pledges to
prosecute. A curious incident hap
pened at the trial, in 1724, Of Louis
Houssart for the murder of his wife.
Among other pleas in the bar to and
abatement of the proceedings, he
pleaded that there were no such per-
sons as John Doe and Richard Roe"
10 this 1t was replied that there were
two such persons in Middlesex, one
weaver, the other n soldier, and
this fact was sworn to, This legal
fiction was abolished on October "a,

A sbrinkage in Values.

The eager poet wrapped 1t up care
fully and set out for the city, where
the leading magazine editors sat in
Judgment on such as his-or, rather,
on such as might not hope to be quite
as his: and it was night when he came
to the city. At the hotel where ne
chose to lodge he passed 1t to the
clerk, with instructions to place 1t In
the safe, where valuables were kept
for security.
"What value?" the clerk inquired.
The poets face flushed with pride.
"It is perhaps, scarcely possible to
place a value upon 1t, but
"Say two hundred?' suggested the
busy and practical clerk.
"That is, perhaps, something of the
sort they will place upon It," replied
the poet, with a deprecatory curl OF
his lip. Eyes; say two hundred" and
he sighed.
The clerk checked 1t at two hundred
and put 1t away in the safe. Next
morning the poet arose, paid for his
lodge. received 1t safely into his hands
again and went forth. The afternoon
was waning when the poet looking
wan and weary, stood again at the ho'
tel desk, with it (no longer with a large
| u in his hand.
"Ahw said the clerk "Care for 1t
again? Same value, l suppose"

cost of each of these dinners rarely
falls below $780, and as there are three
regular ones, those to the Cabinet, the
supreme Court and the Diplomatic
Corps. besides the lesser ones which
constantly have to be given in the
honor of distinguished people whose
duties bring them to the capital, and
whose positions make it incumbent on
the President to show them this atten-
tion, it can easily be computed what
drain these entertainments are on the
executive salary. The Government ap-
propriates $4,000 annually for the ex-
nenses of the White House. This in
cludes the $500 paid to the steward

Elusive Irish Brogue.

There has always been deal Of bad
"brogue" written by Englishmen, G..
w. Stevens wrote ''praste," evidently
assuming that as the Celt says
"baste" for "beast" he will say
''praste" for priest" whereas he is
more likely to say "priesht" Thacke-
ray, supereXcellent at depicting Irish
character, made his Irishmen speak
impossible brogue He blended the
barbarsms Of a dozen dialects in the
mouth of Captain Costigan. Kipling
did much the same with Mulvaney.
English dabblers in brogue copied
Thackeray for years; then they copied
Kipling, and when the inimltable
Dooley ''came to the fore" they took
a fresh turn and made all their Irish
men speak the brogue of Mayo

Park Python Eats "A Lizard.

The biggest of the eight pythons in
Central Park menagerie took a notion
that it would not wait until Tuesday
for it's weekly meal, and, gliding down
from its perch on the tree trunk, 1t
swallowed the two-foot iguiana, or
green lizard, that lived in the cage
with 1t.

NO JUNKETING TOUR
Territories Committee Will Be Too
 Busy to Be Entertained.

The only thing done yesterday in the matter of preparation for the entertain ment of the members of the sub-com- mittee on territories of the United States senate was the appointment by President Porter of the board of trade, of the committee authorized at the meeting of the directors of the board the night before ta accompany him to meet the party on it's arrival in the territory. The members are Former Governor Murphy, Former Governor McCord and Hon. Frank Cox Cover nor Brodie will also be a member of the party.
 Not much can be done in the way of preparation until more is known of the plans of the visitors. and it is not likely that much can be done 1t all. for this is not to be a junketing trip, as Sena- tor Beveridge signified in a telegram to to overnor Brodie yesterday. The gov ernor had telegraphed the senatorial party inquiring it's plans and the prob able date oi it's arrival in the terri tory.
 Senator Beveridge, the chairman, re- piled as follows:
 Colonel Alexander Q. Brodie, Governor of Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Impossible to tell at present when we will arrive in Arizona; will let you know later. Our work is partially laid out. and, while we appreciate all in tended cOurtesies, the committee. after consultation, requests that nothing be arranged for us in the nature of re- ception, entertainment or otherwise which will take up our time. Commit tee will be very busy during entire stay in territory. Will inform you Of changes so you.can make your arrange ments accordingly. Wish you to un- derstand that we very keenly appreci- ate your proposed courtesies and es- tecm them very highly; our limited time, however, requires us to devote ourselves exclusively to work.

HYDRO CARBON SHELTER
General Description of the New Plant
 at Mayer.

The Prescott Prospect thus describes the new hydro carbon smelter at Mayer which is now completed and ready for a trial run:
 Instead of standing upright this queer article of industry reclines on its back at an angle of thirty-five de- grees, in the exact position of a man lying with his back against the slope. Also, instead of being surrounded by a jacket" of water, its roof only, where the hot blast passes, is kept cocl by circulation of water through an ingenious system of water tubes, cighty-two in number, imbedded in the under side Of the roo;. The tubes are three inches in diameter and three inches apart.
 A detailed description of the appar- ently complicated though in reality simple machinery, would make this letter too long, but superficial de scription will be sufficient From the outside the building or group of build ings have the size and appearance of an ordinary twenty or forty stamp mill but as may be supposed it's in ternal structure and fixtures differ in every way.
 To begin at the beginning, the spur from the P. S, E. railroad that runs out from Mayer fiye-eighths of a mile dis tant rises by a four per cent grade and passes the upper works to the 10000 gallon oil tank a hundred yards north, and then switches back and the tracks rise to a sturdy platform, nearly even with the roof. so that loaded cars can discharge their ore directly into the hoppers that lead it past the grizzly and rock breaker to the ore bins-all by gravity. From the bins it is fed automa tically, as needed to the hopper of the furnace, whence, on an inclined plane it is assisted to the upper zone of the furnace, known as the roasting zone, by a series of rakes which keep pushing it down by inches. The roast ing zone utiliZes only the waste heat of the surface and is hot enough merely to roast and not to smelt the ore. When sufficiently roasted the ore is pushed by the rakes to the body of the furnace where it is quickly changed to molten matte. The slag is drawn off at the sides and the matte runs off in front into a nrovea ble converter on wheels-also the invention of MT. M. P. Boss-and the process is finished with less than half the work or time that IS required by a coke burner. In fact 1t is simplicity itself. The hot blast is applied from the front of the furnace through three oil burners fed from a 43.0OO gallon cistern 100 yards north of the works.
 To return to the upper stories the Pelton water wheel is on the floor be- low the rock breaker. It has capac- ity of forty horse power-much more power than is needed. Mir. Boss esti- mates the power required at twenty three horse power The water is piped to the wheel from Crystal Spring at

DOUGLAS FUTURE ASSURED
Calumet and Arizona Shelter Ready
 for Business.

The Bisbee papers announce that the big smeIting plant of the Calumet and Arizona at Douglas is COW complete and was to have been blown in yes terday. As nothing to the contrary has been heard it is safe to assume that one more big Arizona plant is now turning out copper in Arizona. Indeed the Dougles plant is said to be the largest one yet constructed in the ter ritory rot excepting the United Verde or the Copper Queen. That being the case it may be confidently announced that Douglas has come to stay and will shortly gain prominence as one of Ari- zcna's leading cities.
 The town, though not yet on the map contains several thousand people and boasts Of a street railroad all graded and waiting for the ties and steel. It was built by the Calumet company Of course and mainly for the accommoda- tion of it's employees which include the greater part of the population.
 The most of the ore for the big smelt- ing plant will come from the Calumet and Arizona mine, near Bisbee, which will employ hundreds of men and add greatly to the population oi that city, so Bisbee instead of being jealous of her new neighbor cannot but feel proud of her. And Arizona naturally feels proud of both of them.

LYNX CREEK MINES.

was shown a group of mines when look very promising. This group is sit uated on the west side of Lynx creek and about seven miles southeast of Prescott. The first mine l was shown is the Edmond and the vein is over lO0 feet in width from the surface indi- cations. The two drifts started show a large body of sulphide ere that as says from $4 to $40 per ton in gold, also bromide of silver shows in the ore with copper indications throughout the en- tire width of the vein. To a careful observer there is strong evidence that tre-e must exist a very large body or ore. but the showing at present is of g low grade of ore. This vein is easily traced for at least one and a half miles and from the surface appearance it is from 30 to 100 feet wide. There are six claims on this vein and all the shafts and crosscuts show what IS known as ribbon quartz and horns up to $40 per ton. gold, and quite ire ouently very rich ore is found. There are also parallel veins on each side or this one which show free gold and seV- cral claims are also taken on these In
 all there are ten claims located in this

WORKING HISTORY OVER
A Few Sidelights Thrown on Some of
 the Obscure Pages.

While some of the prominent Masons who are now attending the grand lodge here are growing a trifle patriarchal, none of them are too old to enjoy joke or to engage in witty repartee when the occasion is propitious.
 One of these gentlemen, who is uni versally esteemed by the membership of the lodge, and everybody else who knows him, is George J. Roskruge of Tucson. For many years he has held the important office of secretary. of the grand lodge and some of it's associate bodies. Last evening Mir Roskruge and several of lis Masonic friends were gathered in friendly converse when A. l.. Grow of Tombstone turned the subject to other days, drifting around to the scenes in the grand sec retary's native land. Thereupcn MT Roskruge drew from his pocket num- Der of small devices, reproductions of the coats of arms, etc, of his and con meeting families in the old country, proving conclusively to MT. Grow that the grand secretary had to live in this country to avoid hobnobbing with dukes and "dukesses'' and others of the nobility.
 MT. Grow at that moment noticed an odd and handsome scarf pin worn by MT. Roskruge. It resembles a me dallion of Little Egypt, and MT. Grow | made inquiry regarding it. MT. Rosk- ruge replied that it was a token of es- teem given him by Cleopatra in his | early life, and before her unfortunate relations with a gentleman belonging | to the Antony family, and who was | fortunate in passing from the stage of action before MT. EdmUnds broke into | the United States senate. But l dis ! like recalling those veXing days" con l tinued the speaker. so he changed the subject again by asking MT. Grow if | he knew the first bus ever seen in America. Of course he was answered in the negative, when the genial grand | secretary replied that it was Colum- bus, and that he came to America with him. The next bus he said was when the whole yachting party got on a bust, and added and I drove the bus"
 That's right" put in J. D. MonihOn, flor I kept livery stable then and hitched up the horses for you"
 You ought not to butt in that way '' said MT Roskruge. "The first time I ever saw you was at Volunteer Springs . either, or I would have kept you from stealing the only tin cup in Arizona at that time. But I did see the streak you made when you got away with it. You ran SO fast the tin melted and there was an illuminated hot metal trail clear to the Gila river. The next days dispatches announced that a 1 comet had been seen in southern Ari- zona, but it was only Jim Monihan hit ting the pike
 "Oh you can't comet that way over me-" broke in MT. Grow. How did you get your dispatches in those days There wasn't a telegraph wire in Ari- zona, and Marconi had not yet ap- peared.'
 'I hadn't thought of that" said MT Roskruge, and anyhow I think it's about time to go to the lodge room."

Mines and Minerals
 Of Arizona
:. .s

The Miner & Manufacturer, of Fl Paso, Texas has absorbed the Indus trial Record of the same place. This is a case of a vigorous, lusty youngester outstrippings it's elders. It is seldom, indeed. that any publication makes the rapid strides that has been made by Miner & Manufacturer. Vigorous, pro- gressive, reliable, and truly metropoli- tan it has taken high rank among the leading class publications of the coun- try. Devoted to the mining, manufac- turing and industrial interests of the great southwest, and reaching as it does, the business man, the manufac- turer and the investor, it has done much to attract the attention of a very desirable class to the unlimited re- sources of this section. That its efforts for the upbuilding of the southwest is appreciated is plainly manifested by the liberal support and patronage ac- corded. The Industrial Record was es- tablished about five years ago by A. E. McKie, who has been engaged in news paper work in Fl Paso for the past twenty years. MT. McKie will engage in other business, and will be missed by his co-laborers of the southwest.

TRAMPs GOING SOUTH.

The chilling blasts of the northwest and the frosty temperatures of the middle portion of the country and New England have started the thousands of hobos on their annual migratory move ment toward the sunny south. Just at this season of the year Charleston is burdened with her full shared of Fray ed Fagans, Tired Tompkinses and Thirsty Throckmortons. These tramps make up a vast army of unemployed vagabonds, who are equally at home in the orange groves of Florida as in the sweetscented atmosphere of southern California. Any old place is good enough for them. whether on the stormy borders of the Great Lakes or the sun kissed shores of the Mexican gulf.
 The authorities of Charleston are dis posed to be as lenient as the circum- stances will permit with these inveter- ate nomads, many of whom have good sides to their characters and many of whom have soft spots in their natures. Sometimes a tender and true heart beats under ragged jacket These much-abused idlers have their ups an1 downs and their little heartaches and tragedies the same as other people;

A SONG OF THE SEA.

A mermaid sat on a moss -gowned | rock. Sing ho! for the belle of the sobblng
 sea! She Tipped kiss at a jabberwock, And f1irted her tail in glee. She flashed smile at a circling aux And shook the spray from her scaly
 frock, And the sunbeams punched in a prize
 cakewalk On her tresses of filigree. A merman swan to the rocks damp
 base,
 Sing ho! for the dude of the sad sea
 wave! And he swan around with aquatic
 grace
 And a word with the maid did crave. She smiled through the spume on her
 girlish face. And her brown eyes googled to fit the
 case And she slid on the rock to make a
 place
 For the prince from a coral cave. One arm encircled her scaly waist. Sing ho! for the gall that the fellow
 hadi And the salt of her lips he did boldly taste And said it was not half bad. He told her sweeter one never graced The shell-decked halls of the wild sea waste No maid more lovely, no maid more chaste
 From Frisco to Ballydad. He praised the grace of her shapely
 tail,
 Sing ho. for the natterers pregnant
 lips! Admired the hue of each armoring 1 scale
 From her neck to her tail-fin's tips, Her eyes were as liquid as Bass's ale, Her teeth did the sea-pearl's glinting
 pale, Her lips were as pure as the sacred
 grail
 And their nectar again he sips. The maiden listened as maidens will. Sing ho, for the ears of the trustful
 pill
 When coated with sugared love! He ticllled her ear with a sea-gull's
 quill The gull with the song so sharp and shrill- And his words to the maid were of | sweeter thrill Than a melody from above. But a handson1er mermaid swam anear, Sing ho! for the f1irt that butted in! And the merman dived in the waters
 clear. Say, want it a bloomin' sin! And he swam away with his new
 found dear And the maid on the rock shed briny
 tear, And she dug his words from her OCT
 fed ear
 With the point of her dorsal fin. Alone on the moss-gowned rock sat she Sing ho! for the girlie that got the
 shake! And she said: What chumpies we
 mergirls be.
 The guy was a bloomin' fake! There are just as good merfellows in
 the sea As ever were caught, now you hear me But for beautiful Gall with a full
 grown G
 That snoozer can have the cake!"

the plans of the visitors there was nothing that the committee could do. Mayor Talbot, at the head of the com mittee, telegraphed Senator Beveridge asking him if the party could give Phoenix twenty-four hours and also re- questing an estimate as to the time of the arrival of himself and colleagues. If the visitors can remain in the city over night it is probable that a ban quet will be arranged. If not, the en- tertainment will be limited to a drive about the valley and luncheon or re-
 Ception.
 Governor Brodie was present at the meeting He said that he believed the committee would spend about five days in each of the three territories and that the capital of each would be made the headquarters from which a passing view would be made of the other towns.
 In that case perhaps the visitors would spend from thirty-six to forty-eight l hours in this city.

THE WYNN FORMULA.

A friend of mine has furnished Ores and Metals with the following formula that. with a supplementary secret ma nipulatiOn, is said to constitute what is known as the Wynn process for pro ducing gold. Every 1000 pounds of ore is treated in the following solution: Twenty-Five per cent lime, twenty-five per cent sea salt, twenty per cent nitric acid, twenty per cent sulphide of pot ash. After agitating with atmospheric air for ten hours, ten per cent of ann monia is added, which brings up the scum, composed of sulphur and iron that contains the gold. The problem of rescuing the gold from the solution constitutes the secret. t."-Ores and Metals.
