with her own hands and flung it to the
breeze from a window at her house in

not at home.

When the lady passed down the street
a few minutes later the flag had been
righted.

The Cowboys Virgil.

George Handy is in town-tender-
foot from Colorado. Originally he
was tsnderfoot in Colorado from
New York. When acting as tele-
graph operator at the railroad station
in Guthrie he was approached one
day by a citizen of quiet mien
who asked when the next train left.
In an airy way he replied, 'Oh when
it cam The stranger reached back
and produced gun" which, ac-
cording to Handy, was two feet long
and as big round as canno .
"When do that train leave?" he re-
p ,ated. Handy, yielding the floor,
niably answered that question and
dozen others which were flung at
him. Seeing a book lying on the
desk he said, What book are that
you're readin'?" 'That's my Virgil,
and I'm translating a few lines when
| have time" Virgil? God bless
him! Havn't seen him in twenty
years. How is the old boy? Just
the same as ever?" He opened the
volume, sat down on the bench and
began to read it off In perfect Eng
Iish, to the amaZement of Handy, Il

the operator asked. "Oh, was first

William Tucker, of Vineland, n.
j., has quit joking. Until few days
ago he was in the habit of playing a
killing joke on the engineers on the
West Jersey and Seashore railroad.
Tucker was a lawyer, and it was a
d light to him to walk on the track
of the railroad mentioned when he
saw an express train approaching.
He would turn his back and pretend
t. be so deeply plunged in thought
as to be obvious of the approaching
train until it was within 20 or 30 feet
of him, when he would jump aside
and wave his hat at the Mortified
engineer. A few DAYS ago fuckers
friends sadly gathered up the few
pieces of him that could be found
strewn along the track at the place
where he had been in the habit of
playing his joke. He had played it
once too often.-Chicago Record-Her-

A Fine Gold Proposition

J. A. Rogers, general manager of the Huachuca Gold Mining company after a brief visit to their properties returned to Fl Paso last Saturday. the
 Review man while on a visit to
 he Douglas shelter fell in with MT.
 Rogers, who naturally impressed one as an unostentatious and courteous business man a gentleman who can read a piece of rock like the New Testament. He wears neither cor duroy nor leggings, nor eye glasses. nor Van Dyke whiskers. but he talks business. From MT. R. we learn that he will return from Fl Paso in about ten days when he will outfit for the Huachucas, and Review representa- tive will be along with him. The company is just getting in shape to do business. They are only employing seven men at present but are prepar- ing for extensive development work The have put up houses for the ac- commodation of their help and this is only a starter This is the same property with whiLl Joe Lefebvre has been identified and in which he is still interested. The property is about nineteen miles from Naco in the Huachuca mountains. It is clear gold proposition, entirely free so far as i: has been developed. It consists of four claims. The ledge being cas- fly traceable the entire distance and being distinguished by beautiful spe- cimen rock at every point. Several Mexicans have made good wages for years roasting and grinding the rock by primitive methods. The work son the property is not extensive, 160 feet of tunnel and open cuts being done while the deepest shaft is 60 feet.
 The leading promoters and officials of the company are c. R. Moorehead. president, being also at the head of the State National bank of Fl Paso; Joseph U. Sweeney, secretary; Jos. A. Rogers. general manager, while the board of directors is composed of Messrs. Moorehead, Rogers. Storms, Davis and Lackland. Most of these gentleman command almost unlimited means and are away up in reliable business circles in Fl Paso and other cities. It is al assured fact that these people have the finest gold proposition from a surface view which has been opened up in Arizona for some time. and combine the means and the de to develop their prop erty 10 finish.

the bond. He immediately went to work, sunk 70 feet, then dTifted 50 feet each way in the vain endeavor to find the wall, then gave it up as bad job and camped in ore. Now the commonwealth continued this mans shaf. to the 200. All the way through ore. The Commonwealth people went to work on the property last June. The ere body so far as can be ascertained is practically unlimited the chief value being copper and run hing well in gold with some silver. IL looks like the Commonwealth will build a shelter at Wilcox, where they can mix and smelt the ore from this new property and the ore from Pearce to great advantage. The com pany is developing the property on the contract system, about twenty five mel being employed at the pres eHt time.
 Dos Cabezas is a town of about 300 people and most prettily situated on level basin between two mountains in a spur of the Sulphur Springs val ley It is an ideal situation for min ing camp, well supplied with water, free from smoke and dust, with do- mestic trees in abundance.
 We fur her ascertain that Los An geles company has run a 1.9OO-foot tunnel on the Roberts property and just as they struck it they shut down with a noise like that produced by the shutters on the Copper Queen store. They are a joint stock com pany and the impression in Dos Ca bezas is that they have struck it rich and propose to stop and indulge in little game of freeze out. The Rob- erts group is about four miles north of town under the Dos Cabezas peaks, John Casey, the surviving brother, has a gold property with 1000 feet of work or it. John once had a small stamp mill which a little company put ia for him, but .he rattle was too hard on his nerves, so he came back to the good old Raster plain. His gold property is the pride of his life and will be hard to get SO long as John lives. Ina: is a rare mining dis :Iict and if it were on a line of rail road would soon be the center of great mining operations as Bisbee is now.

 A gentleman came in from Dos Ca bezas one day last week. He is an old-timer in that locality and volun- teered much interesting information which along with our per sonal knowledge of the camp renders the facts available for the columns of the Review. Unusual activity exists among the Casey properties which are about three miles from town, and about twelve miles from Wilcox. The Ca sey Brothers have held and improved these claims for twenty years, and one Of those pathetic, recitals creeps into the prospector's biography here. After twenty years of toll, and twen- ty years of hardship, after twenty years, much of which period was nec- essarily spent with a hammer in one hand and Winchester in the other, and just as success stood ready to crown the faithful miner, one of the Casey brothers responded to the signal of the Grim Reaper across the great divide. 4 payment of several thousand dollars was to have been made to the veteran prospector in a few days and death called at his humble door
 During the last twenty years the Casey group has been turned down perhaps twenty times by high priced experts who are excellent judges of champagne and green turtle soup but who do not know red oxide of cop per from low grade brick bat. A little less than year ago a gentle man took a bond on the Casey prop erty for S60,000. He then went to work and in less than six morths bonded it to the commonwealth people for S120, 900 The Pearce people went to work and will take in the property. The first payment to be made the 18th of this month.
 The property as regards it's general surface characteristics is mountain of iron with rich copper prospects sticking their noses up numerously. The property includes eleven full claims. The gentleman who bonded it from the Caseys. and bolded it to the people first went there in the interest of a company which sub 5equently dropped out, where upon the party sought and obtained
