Silks from China .

The death of Ii Hung Chang
brings back to the public mind the
visit of bis late Excellenty Ia this
country, and the effect of his gor-
geous dresses. The best remem-
bered garment was perhaps the
famous yellow coat. The sllken
sheen of the coat was wonderful.
1t was not very long, and the ex-
treme richness of the silk caused it
to reflect light and shade almost as
if the silk were span from glass.
The open bell shaped sleevesIsh0w-
ed lining OF the richest silk, in
that deep. beautiful blue associated
with the Chinese porcelain or en-
amels, and yet in some lights re-
hected the greenish blue of the pea
cock eye feather that ornamented
his cap. Some of the cOlors to be
found in Chinese silks of the best
quality are from dyes known only
TO this wonderful nation, and no
one has succeeded in exactly re-
producing them. Very old silks
used in mandarin and other official
capeS show wonderful pinks,
brilliant reds and strange shades
of yellow aud sage green, that have
never lost their glow of color, and
the new silks in which these shades
are used have exactly the same
tints, showing that the Chinese
dyes have a peculiar fastness of
their own, and the secret of their
power has been we'll kept for many
centuries. Modern Chinese silks
include various makes not unlike
taffetas, but there is no question Of
Chinese taffetas ever splitting as
French and other manufactures do
they wear, one might say, almost
forever.-Mexicau Herald.

THOSE SKELETONS.
Thought to Be Those of MexicaDs
Killed BY Indians.

Speaking of the discovery of a
number of skeletons in the court
house yard at Corpus Christi, re-
garding which many theories have
been advanced, the Caller says:
"The editor of The Caller visit
ed Mrs. Rachel Parker yesterday,
knowing her to be one of the old
est inhabitants and satisfied her
opinion OF how the bones came to
be there. would be apt to be the
most correct. Mrs. Parker said
while she could not say positively,
because it was before she came
here, yet she was told on very good
authority, byAntouio PalaciOS, and
she says there are some of the ia
mily at Conception yet, that in
1887 there was quite a settlement
of Mexicans here, having wells for
their stock in the arroyo; that at
this time the Lipans made a raid on
the settlement; that they whipped
the Mexicans and carried off their
stock. Mrs. Parker is satisfied the
spot where the bones were unearth-
ed, is where they buried the dead /;
that it was the Mezicans' burying
ground. She says the Mexicans
we're finally run out of the country,
some of them coming back from
Mexico some years afterwards
about Kinney's time. u

SONORA COMPLAINTS MEETING.
Election of Officers for the Year Occurs AMost Flattering Report From
 President 0'Keete.

The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Sonora Mining and Milling company was held in Phoe- nix last Saturday. As a great many people in this county are stockholders in the company the following report of the meeting, taken from the En- terprise will be found of interest in this section:
 Over 665.50 shares of stock were represented at the meeting, which was attended by Con O'Keefe, O. O.. Saxhang, D. J. Shea, Chas. Hickman, W. s. Sturgis, L. H. Chalmers and W. E. Deity. To act as a board of directors the coming year, R. Allyn Lewis, John Dessart, W. s. Sturgis, Con O'Keefe and D. J. Shea were chosen. The stockholders meeting was then adjourned and the meeting of the directors was convened. A choice of officers for the year was made, resulting in the election of Con O'Keefe, president and general mana ger; W. $. Sturgis, vice president, and John Dessart, secretary and treasurer. The retirement of O. O. Saxhang, who was the former secre- tary, was deemed advisable by the di- rectors, he being a very valuable man at the mines, and his services there being very much desired.
 Speaking of the mining outlook for his company MT. O'Keefe says: "The Sonora Milling and Mining company owns nine properties covering an urea of 600 acres, all highly mineral ized. There is at present fully S2,0O0,- 900 worth of ore in sight; and there is no doubt the quantity is inexhaust- ible. The ore at a very conservative estimate will average S25 to the ton. It carries from 5 per cent to per cent copper, from 25 ounces to 30 ounces silver and S2 in gold per ton. From the La Fortuna mine some as says run as high as 300 ounces in sil- yer.
 On February II, when Mir. O'Keefe left camp, he had 1lS men employed and that number will soon be in- creased.
 When the company was organized six months ago stock sold at p cents. Later the price was raised to 50 cents, and all that was placed on the mar ket went readily, MT. O'Keefe gives as his candid opinion that by next fall stock will be worth from S2 to 5, as the values now in sigh are ample to subStantiate the statement, the company being capitalized only at. S1,O0O,OO0.
 The copper bullion will carry enough gold and silver to make the value about S700 per ton. While the shelter is not large. every arrange ment has been made for its enlarge ment at very early date.

An Exciting Runaway.

One of the most exciting runaways that ever occurred in Prescott took place yesterday afternoon. A team belonging to MT. Green of Lynx creek, and attached to a butcher wagon, became frightened by piece of paper which blew under their feet in the high wind and broke their fas- tenings and started to run. They made a trip around the plaza and then circled around the block just north of the plaza, finally taking a straight shoot down Cortez street to the depot. At this point they parted company with the bed of the wagon. They turned west on the railroad and darted across the Granite creek bridge without slowing down, as re- quired by railroad regulations, and kept up the track past the electric light plant, until they struck the trestle over Potts creek. Their speed was so great that they failed to strike the ties of the trestle with their feet and, their legs going between them, they soon piled up in heap. As the wagon went bouncing over the ties it came apart and was strewn promiscu- ously along the track. The horses were tied securely so they could not struggle and were then drawn from the trestle rather badly skinned up but otherwise uninjured. In picking up the scattered pieces of the wagon # xraS found to ba rracficallr unin- jured, and all that was necessary was to fit the respective pieces to where they belonged.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Adlai Stevenson, who was, if we re- member rightly, the last Democratic nominee for the vice presidency, says that the Democracy must present an unbroken front. He seems to forget that he helped to break that front by running as gold man with silver running-mate.
 The attitude of the president, of the chairman of the Senate commit tee on relations with Cuba, and of Republicans at large over the coun- try is for fair play to Cuba in the form of legitimate tariff concessions. Democrats who insist that flair play" and free trade" are synonymous terms are trying to cloud the issue.
 -Apropos of the question of war tax reduction it is advanced that lone way to stop the war taxes will be to stop the war" This remedy is capa- ble of broad interpretation. To stop liquor taxes, stop the use of h- quor. But how about stopping the government taxes in generall None of us like to pay taxes. Shall we stop the government There are numerous democratic contentious, which if allowed their logical conclu- sions, will yield similar pearls of wis dom.
 The New York Press Clipping Bu- reau has just completed for Senator Hanna, a collection of newspaper paragraphs covering everything that was printed in the editorial columns of the papers of this country and England, relating to the death of William Mckinley. This remarkable collection is bound in four volumes and shows that no crowned or un- crowned ruler ever received so many tributes of love and esteem, not only from the press of his own country, but from all over the world.
 Senator Scott, of West Virginia, addressed the Senate last Thursday on the advisability of choosing the Darien route for the interoceanic canal. This plan proposes to tunnel through the mountains, making a waterway on one level, thus doing away with locks. The advantages of the route as summed up by the sens- tor, are as follows: Healthy location; shortness-thirty miles; magnificent harbors; ability ofquick completion by working men in night and day shifts, in wet and dry seasons, under sani- tary conditions; possibility of towing sailing vessels by night or day by electricity, possible on no other route; economical maintenance of canal when completed; permanency of its rock bed and absence of earth embankment, and completion in three, or, at most, five years. Mir. Scott submitted his remarks as from a purely business basis. The resolu- tion that he offered was referred to the committee on interoceanic canals.

Home Missionary Society.

The home Missionary society of the NJ. E. church held its regular meeting yesterday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. M. A. Bowen and Mrs. R. Nj. Ling. While the regular business of the society was attended to, including the admission of several new members, the meeting partook somewhat of the nature of an after noon tea. A programme was ren- dered, the opening number of which was piano solo by Mrs. Ling. Mrs. R. A. Talbot gave a reading and Mrs. Bowen delivered an address setting forth the objects of the society which are not generally understood by the public. Among these objects, is that charity and in fact one of the princi- pal aims of the society is to assist worthy poor people. Mrs. P. D. Billinghurst read a paper on the ''Manners and Customs of the Chinese" Mrs. D. NJ. F. Weeks ren- dered vocal solo which was encored. Master Harry Ling also sang two songs and gave recitation, after which ref leshments were served spiced with social converse.

IA School Teachers Valentine. How often, when to school I came, In days of long ago, The teachers would call me by name And pat my cheeks and brow; And, while I half reluctant stood, They kissed me cause I was ESQ

 Quite kisslessly I grope. What have I done, that teachers do Not pat my cheeks and kiss me nowi

M'CABE EXTENSION CO.
It Adds Another Valuable Property to Its Holdings By the Purchase of the Ce1e-
 brated Gopher Mine.
Demand flor ts Stock Continues &c., tive at Par at present-0eyelop- ment Work to Be Actively Prose- cuted on Both Claims.

Another important mining deal was consummated today whereby Mrs. A. V. Kautz transferred her title to the Gopher mine in the McCabe district to the McCabe Extension Mining company. The deal was promoted by E. R. Mcdowell and is among the largest mining transactions made in this section of the country for some time.
 The acquisition is very important one as the Gopher mine is among the best in the county, which is in its de- velopment stage. It has already about 1000 feet of underground work ings all told, among them being two shafts, one of which is 300 feet deep and the other about 230. The other work consists eff drifts, and the open ings are all in good ore, a portion of it being of high enough grade to bear shipment.
 The mine has been equipped with a gasoline hoist, but this will be re- moved and steam hoist substituted for it and development work will be prosecuted vigorously by the Exten- tension company. The high grade ore will be shipped while the lower grade quality will be piled up on tie dump until sufficient quantity of it has been obtained to justify the erec- ton of plant for its treatment, and the ore from it and from the other mines of the company will probably all be worked in the same plant.
 The Gopher mine is a sort of his torical one in this section, having been purchased nearly thirty years ago by General A. V. Kautz, an army officer stationed at Whipple. It has been producer of good ore from the grass roots. It is located only about mile from the Gladstone, McCabe and McCabe Extension, and is in the highly mineralized zone of that sec ton of the county. There are two claims in the group, the Gopher and the Little Treasure.
 At the death of General Kautz, his widow came into possession of the property, and during the past year she and her very talented and accom- plished daughters have resided at the mine and have superintended the de- velopment work on it and have scored a success in its operation, demon strating the ability and competency of women in this line of work.
 Sinking on the shaft of the Me Cabe Extension mine was discon- tinued some time since and the work of drifting and crosscutting has been in progress. The shaft is 260 feet deep and from this a 40-foot crosscut has been run and about 100 feet of drifting. They are taking out splen- did ore from the drifts and the mine never looked as promising as at pres ent. The quality of the ore in the drift is improving with each foot of work done.

THE STORY OF 4 SONG.
"A Widows Valentine.

IA Widows Valentine. "Widow Machree," Is song, don't you see, That was sung of widow one day Who lived like thee, And the bachelors they, Did sigh and cry their whole life
 away. They told her flat To put on her best hat, Nd go courting again a Micky or
 Pat, Who like a cat, Or very wet rat, Felt bad-for of love, she never would
 chat. But 'taint the style, On the Emerald Isle, Of tears alway and never smile, So Pat, with guile, Shed tears for awhile, Then sang, in hopes the Machree to
 beguile. Of course, they're wed, For, at least, it is said That out of Pats eyes the tears So
 sped Out of his head That the widows grief fled Feminist the blarney and tears he
 shed.
