An Italian Magistrate, Wants Him to

John Bender, an Italian, whose name IS not Bender. but something that sounds like that, and who is so called Bender, perhaps on account of his pro- pensity to go on bender has a chance to go to his home in Italy Marshal Kinney yesterday received a letter rom brother of Bender who is the mayor of Intra. inquiring about his condition and saying that he wants him to be brought home whether he has any money or not
 Bender'S brother must be a person. age of some importance. for Intra itself is no mean place. It is the principal town of the province of Novara in the northern part of Italy and lies on lake Maggiore.
 John Bender has plenty of money to pay his passage to Italy. He has about S5.0O0 in a bank, but he has no control of it just now. He has not even con- trol of himself for he Is an inmate of the territorial insane asylum. He is not desperately insane though, and no doubt would be discharged if he wants to go home. The only manifestation of insanity now is a tendency to fits, and it is thought that tendency was brought on by drunkenness. He has been in the asylum for several months

MOHAVE COUNTY MINES.

As cool weather approaches great activity is being manifested in mining circles throughout the country. Espec- ially is this true in the river range. At the Gold Road a big force of men are being put to work and in other places the outlook is very fiattering. The mines in the vicinity of Chloride are opening up Better than ever. At the Minnesota -Connor the men are stoping out ore from fifteen foot breast. The Elkhart people are already grading for their mill ard it is understood the Schuylkill will soon resume work. At Mineral park work is progressing fav orably; Todd Basin and the Oro- Plata are locking up in a mining way. The C. O. D. is in bonanza. Down in Gold Basin two companies are operating with success, and chloriders are taking out good ore in a number of places. Everything points to an era of unparal- leled prosperity in this county the com ing winter. Let the knockers go away back and sit down. If you can't say anything good for the locality in which you live keep your mouth shut. and watch things grow.

MINING NOTES.

William Clark has returned from the Owl Head district, where he remained all summer, opening up his gold prop erty. He brought in some beautiful and rich gold ore which he will test by the cyanide process. His is one of the best gold prospects in the county and will sell for a good price when he is heady to put it on the market Florence Blade.
 B. P. Hepndon returned Friday from Idaho, and will spend the balance of his days in Arizona. He says a man can prospect in that country only about four months in year and then he has to crawl through underbrush so dense as to block the passage of a jack rabbit. We welcome Dick back to his old and best love.-Florence Blade.
 Thursday morning there went to Patagonia a special excursion train consisting of a locomotive and coach, conveying a party of guests, cOmpris- ing some of the leading business and mining men of the line city, specially invited by Lucky Mark Lulley to ac- company him to the Wandering Jew mine, to witness for themselves the wonderful showing of rich ores made in that remarkable property by the in- defatigable and energetic exertions of the erterprising operator, the antigua workings he has uncovered, and to bear testimony to the accuracy and relia- bility of the reports and descriptions of the Wandering Jew which have f.om time to time appeared.-The Oasis.
 P. E. Murphy, manager of the Zubi- ate mines is in the city and reports the burning of the big stamp mill last Wednesday night. The loss is estimat- ed at about $60,0C0. Colonel R. Oliver of San Francisco is president of the company and it is thought a new mill will at once be erected.-Nogales Vidette.
 Monday William Schwartz, general manager of the Santa Cruz Mining company whose mines are near Patar- gonia, was a business visitor in No gales. The gentleman reports every thing well at his camp.

ORC GRANDE ALL RIGHT
Later Workings Rich in Value and
 Wide in Extent.

w. E. Deity returned yesterday morning from the Orc Grande mine where he spent four days in examiny the property, most of the time in that portion of the mine developed since his previous examination.
 He took between three and four hun- dred samples and after he secures as- say returns he will make an exhaust i've report on the mine as it appears today. He says though, in anticipa- ton of his report that the property looks better than ever and that the later workings are equally as good as the ground first developed. The greater part of the early development was done on the north side of the shaft. MT. Deity says that on the 300 foot level at the end of the drift to the south. all in ore. crosscut has been made to the east for 105 feet all in ore. On the 200 foot level there is a drift to the south also and at it's end a crosscut has been run to the west for 69 feet, all in ore. This makes the developed width of the ore body south of the shaft IA feet There is no guess work about it for the ore is there where anybody can see it.
 MT. Deity. of course. does not care to make guesses on the values in ad- vance of his assays, but he says that in appearance the ore is just as rich as that encountered in the early work ings. He also took samples of ground which the mine management has dis carded as of inferior value, just to sat- isfy himself as to what the Orc Grande hill is made of.

JOKE THAT HIT THE KAISER.

AS the time for our wandering gen erals draws near-we refer, or course 70 Generals Corbin, Young and Wood public curiosity as to many of tnelr achievements and adventures is quick ened almost to the point of trill- -trills. Of course, we know in an all too ln-
 definite way that the officers have been received everywhere with truly ieverish enthusiasm. We have been told that Emperor William scarcely mo- ticed any one excepting Corbin, Young and Wood during their stay in Ger many, and we learn, on the excellent authority of the gentleman himself, that General Corbin dined with Will liam IT exactly nine times by official count We have heard a whole lot of other things besides. But there are still other things-of the most vivid in- terest to the public-Concerning which our information is so vague as to be painful.
 For the present one case in point will be enough. The special cores pondent-or maybe it was 'commis- sioner"-has told us of General Young s joke, the same joke that threw the emperor into conniptions, and no won der But have we heard it all?

has lived for twenty years. He has followed no other occupation than that of day laborer. His legitimate expen- ses of living have not been heavy, for some times he has been known to lunch out of swill barrels when he prices of the restaurant keepers were too high. He has contributed quite extensively to the support of the city government, and to the territorial school fund by the fines which have been assessed against him for drunk enness and disturbance of the peace. When work was a little slow or when Bender thought he needed a vacation, he elected to lie in jail rather than to pay his fine. Whenever he has been arrested. sums ranging from $50 to three or four thousand have been found in his pockets. About a year ago 1t began to be suspected for the first time that he had a touch of insanity, and he was given an examinatiGn in probate court. but was discharged. A few weeks later he was taken up again and a guardian was appointed for him. Later he was sent to the asylum.

by King Edward VII when Sousa
 played his famous royal concert.
 "The Stars and Stripes Forever" is q
 feature of every patriotic celebration and is always greeted with profound applause. indicating that the stirring melody is rapidly assuming the dignity of national march. Sousa's "The Inviacible Eagle" is paean of triumph ant Americanism and never fails to arouse an audience to enthusiasm. The title of the latest march Imperial Edward" received not only the ap- proval of King Edward VII, but was favorably commented upon by the Lon don papers. The Sousa marches and the Sousa concerts have the same char acteristic spontaneity and dash, and are alike refreshing to the nearer, so it is a pleasure to know that the March King is to bring his band here for two concerts at the Doris theater on next Monday, October 27 matinee and evening.

NEW YORK CITY TAXES

Presumably, not one of the crooks, hobos, and unfortunates ranged on the benches in City Hall park last Monday night had any suspicion that the cab dashing down Broadway about 10 o'clock and rudely disturbing their maps had in it nearly $1O,O00, ,OO0 in cash and checks-the yearly contributions of few of their more fortunate fellow-citi zens whose taxes keep the municipal pot boiling. the park grass green, the fountains bubbling, and the benches painted. But that was the warm fact.
 The money represented the first days collections of this years city taxes, about $9, FOG, 900, and it was being taken at night under guard from the reciver' $ office in the Stewart building to a Wall street bank for deposit. These collec- tions beat the New York record by S1O0 GOO for a first days business, the rush to apply early and thus secure the per cent rebate being unprecedented. While much of the amount was receiv- ed through the mail in the form of checks, fully 4.OO0 taxpayers went in person to the office either with cash or checks.
 The incident is interesting. It demon- strates, first, that money is unusually plentiful in the metropolis; second. that most of the taxpayers here prefer to settle up" promptly thereby making a saving as well as discharging an ob- ligation that in many instances is not an altogether pleasant one next that the rebate plan is practicable in its workings; and lastly. it ought to sug- gest how few, comparatively, of this | =, ,.Tsa av.c- millions of people contribute a penny to the cost of conducting its affairs We tread the pavements. stand in the gaslight, appeal to the police, send our children to school, see the fires put out. drive or walk in the parks, listen to the music-these and a score or more of other things-but rarely stop to re- fleet that the property of tho town pay for it all.
 The Astors. for instance. turned$350. = 900 into the public till last Monday, the Vanderbilts and their railroad over $500. .000 more, and the two Crimminses $100, 900, a prominent brewer $75,OOO, and all the Smiths, lenses, Browns. and that ilk sums anywhere from $50 to | S1,000 apiece-the money that runs the city, the penalty that the law exacts | from every person fortunate enough 10 possess taxable property. A whole lot of us are practically eleemosynaries as far as receiving public benefits is con- cerned! And yet some of us are caught occasionally railing at wealth and ac- tually assailing capital!
 | Now. the property-owners are not all paragons of virtue. But it's worth bit of a thought occasionally that they keep the sidewalks and streets clean under our shoes, shovel the snow out of our paths, lay the dust with sprink- lers, pay for the parks and the police. put out the fires. and put up" for the education of our children.
