PIMA ITEMS

Regular correspondence to GUARDIAN.
Adeal has just been.consummated
by which Ed Follett Of Mathews
ceases to be a real estate owner
in Graham Co., he having sold
his ranch below Mathews to S. S
Marshal, Jos. Foster, W. T. Webb
and Fred Webb, of this place
The purchase price, we are in,
formed was $4,000. Mr.. Follett
will soon start for Canada where
he expects to make his future
home.
Funeral services were held Sun.
day at 1l;30 A. NJ. over the
remains of Miss Mahala Anderson
Of Emery and the body was
inferred in the Pima cemetery.
The young lady was the daughter
of Charley Anderson, deceased,
and Mrs. Joseph Ballard. Parents
were among the early settlers Of
this place.
Mrs. Clarence Woodcock Of this
place committed suicide Tuesday
evening between sundown and
dark by shooting herself with a
80 calibre Bulldog revolver.
She has for many years been a
slave to morphine and whiskey
and for the past week had been
drinking more than usual. Mrs.
Easter, who lives next door to
the deceased, had been away from
home short time and on returning
was met at the gate by her little
boy who said that Mrs. Woodcock
had forbidden him to chop any
more wood, telling him if he did
so she would shont him. Mrs
Easter reassured the boy and
told him to 60 and chop the wood.
Just then shot was fired in the
door Of Mrs. Woodcock's house
and Mrs. Easter thinking the
shot was fired at her ran terrified
to G. D. Haynie's and he hurried
to the scene and found Mrs.
Woodcock lying in the door of
her house with a pistol at her
feet and a CHASTITY hole in her right
temple The position Of the body
showed that she had died instantly.
Word was sent to Deputy Sheriff
IS. Z. Allen aud Justice Of thp

Peace Jos. H. Lines who we're
soon on the ground. After view
ing the body and hearing the
statements of Mrs. Easter and
Mrs. Bull who was also close by
when the shot was fred, Justice
Lines decided that an inquest
would be unnecessary as it was
clearly a case Of suicide. A tele.
gram was at once sent to Mr.
Woodcock who is working at
Cauanea and the body is being
held awaiting word from him.
SO far as is known the deceased
has no relatives in this part Of
the county.
On Monday last DR.. Wightman

Refused SO, 900, 900,

The refusal OF Senator w. A.
Clark to sell the United Verde
mine for S50.0O0,000 has created
much interest in mine itself, and
also in its fortunate owner. In
recent article in the American
Mining News figures are given to
indicate that the United Verde is
the richest mine and the owner
is the richest man in the world.
1t has lately come to light that
the average value Of the ore taken
from the United Verde is IS dol.
lars per ton in all value-gold,
silver and copper. This mine, 50
far as has been develoed, including
explorations and diamond drilling
below the present workings,
shows an immense ore chimney,
400 by 600 feet across that has
been explored by shafts, tunnels
and drill holes to a depth Of 400
feet.
Just how far it will be possible
to work this mine down before
the heat limit is reached is hard
to say, but a reasonable estimate
would be 5000 feet. An estimate
by one of the best mining engi,
neers in this country shows that
the mine to the depth Of 140O feet
contains 336,OOO,O0O cubic feet OF
ore, and, estimating eleven cubic
feet to the ton, there are practical,
ly 28,000,000 tons in sight.

IT WILL COME,

That the county seat will come
to Stafford this fall a large MAORI.
ty of the people of the county are
now thoroughly convinced and the
prospect is very pleasing to almost
everybody. The people know that
the present county buildings can
not much longer be used and that
in short time a new court house
must be built. And the prospect
Of additional taxes being levied for
this purpose is not pleasing in the
county's present condition, but
that new buildings must soon be
erected is recognized by all.
Besides all the other advantages
in favor of Stafford for the county
seat the people here propose to
furnish the money for the erection
Of these buildings besides furnish
ing a beautiful square, planted
with trees and grass, on which to
place them.
Even if Stafford had no other ad-
vantages in her favor the above
facts are sufficient to procure a
large majority vote in her favor,
at the coming election. When the
vote is counted it is believed by
the people in different portions of
the county that more than two
thirds will be found in favor of
Stafford.
People who are giving the sub
ject thought and are interested in
TIE welfare of the county say that
while Stafford is in the humor to
pay for the county buildings she
should have the opportunity of
doing so, thereby saving thousands
Of dollars to the taxpayers, besides
placing the county seat in much
more favorable locality.

TENDERFOOT'S LUCKY STRIKE.
While Seeking Health StumbIeS
Upon Wealth.

The following story of the luck
off tenderfoot, published in the
Santa Fe Ne,O MeGicdn, makes the
old.time prospector shudder: A
phenomenal gold strike was made
recently near Golden, N. NJ, by
Isador Sherman, of New York.
Young Sherman went to Santa Fe
county, New Mexico, for his
health. He had never seen a
mine, but was furnished with a
pick and shovel and told to go to
work. He started to work on an
abandoned claim on the north
slope Of the San Pedro mountains.
After working some time he en-.
countered a pocket Of free milling
gold ore from which $4,000 was
taken. The pocket consisted of a
14.inch pay streak of decomposed
quartz bespankled with the yellow
metal However, the ore soon
gave out, but Sherman felt con,
fident that the mother lode must
be somewhere in that immediate
vicinity, so he started prospecting
for the vein. Finally he decided
to drive tunnel higher up the
mountain. When ten feet below
the surface he spiod a piece of wire
gold as large as a knitting needle
prOtruding from the quartz wall il
front Of him. 1t was short and ex
citing work to get in on this quartz
vein aud with every stroke of tht
pick new and rare riches were ex
posed. In the upper left hant
corner Of the tunnel four by si2
feet, the vein is eighteen inches
wide where first struck and thirty
inches wide in the lower righ
hand corner. A few feet furthe,
in the whole face Of the tunne
showed the same rich quartz, gilt
tering with wire and nugget gold
some of the latter being rare speci
mems of crystalized gold hitherto
found only in rare instances in tht
southern Santa Fc mining districts
Samples Of the ore gives returns
as high as $4,000 per ton, and the
discovery is causing a great ex
citement.-Erd.

New Officers,

At a meeting of the stock
holders Of the Great Eastern Min.
ing company recently held in New
York, it is understood that new
board Of directors and new presi.
dent were elected, T. NJ. Wilson
was elected president.
1t is understood that operations
at the mine will be resumed in a

is true, for it is almost beyond

How to Trent Burns.

Limewater, olive oil and glycerin
mixed in equal parts and applied to a
burn will relieve the pain. An appli-
cation Of tar is also excellent, as it ex-
cludes the air. Common baking soda
is an old and reliable remedy. though
it has the disadvantage of causing in
tense smarting when first applied. A
paste made by slightly mOistening
powdered borax is very cooling and
effective; great relief may likewise be
obtained by bathing the burn in borax
water.

ONWARD AND UPWARD,

This is the motto of the meat
trust, particularly the upward part,
when to comes to the matter of
putting the price on the commodi-
ties of their line. The laboring
man finds very gradual, but at
the same time an upward tendency
of the price on that particular arti-
Gle Of food with which he must
maintain his strength of body, and
keep up his physical powers to the
point that will enable him to per-
form his labors.
1t is fact, demonstrated by the
experience of those who purchase
food for their families, that in the
past two years there has been a
gradual increase in the price of
bacon and lard, the two articles
that enter so largely into the daily
supply Of food that the labOring
man must have for himself and
family. The price Of bacon aver
aged, for long time prior to two
years ago, about twelve cents per
pound, if anything it was less; lard
about ten cents. Then the two
took the "upshoot" in price, half
cent at time, and to-day they are
lowering close to the eighteen and
twenty cent mark, an increase of
fully fifty per cent. This increase
has been 50 gradual as not to be
particularly noticed except by the
poorer classes, upon whom it
comes with such force that many
of them are compelled to torego
the use of bacon at their tables.
This is a hardship that bears heav-
lily upon the man who works for
moderate wages, a hardship that is
placed upon him without any just
cause, and in fact without any
cause at all except the rapacious
greed Of those who control the
meat market Of the country, those
who, under lack of proper laws,
can carry on the nefarious practice
Of fleeing the poor for the benefit
of the capitalist, he alone being
the sole beneficiary, The farmer
that raises the hog gets no more
now than he did two or three
years ago; the men who slaughter
the animal get no higher wages,
the railroad gets no more for
transporting it, and no one re.
ceives good from the increase Of
the price but those who in com,
bination control the markets.
But, how is it that such com,
binations can have such poweri
This question can easily be under
stood by any one capable Of rea
soning. 1t is the tariff. A heavy
tax is laid upon such articles, SC
high as to prevent the importation
Of such into the country. A mat
ter so plain, simple and easy, that
he who runs may read, and read
ing may understand.

Make a strong suds with white soap;
to each gallon of suds add one table
spoonful of boraX dissolved in half a
pint of boiling water When the suds
are tepid, put in the rug and let it soak
for half an hour or more. Wash well;
then wash in a weaker suds and rinse
in cold water to which n very little
soap has been added. Press out the
water and hang the rug in the shade
to dry. When it is half dry, rub it be-
tween the hands. This will soften 1t.

A BARBED WIRE BOUNDARY.

The Springfield (Mass.) Repub'
lican says: 1t has been suggested
that q barbed wire fence built
along the international boundary
line in northern Montana to aid
the custom officials in patroling
the border and enforcing the tariff,
AS it is now cattle particularly
cause trouble. They are worth
about 20 per cent more on this side
Of the line than the other, and seem
to know it for it is said they have
way of drifting in this direction
when human beings are not visible
to the eye of the guardians against
smuggling. But it is found that if
the fence is built at the joint ex.
pense Of the two governments it
will be much cheaper to have
Canada furnish the wire, even
though it comes from the United
States. This is because the steel
trusts are selling wire to out side
countries at lower rates than they
are charging to home eostamers.
A fence constructed on those
terms would be fine illustration
of how the trusts are working to
undo the home market while the
government is engaged in fencing
it iu.-DemdHat.

LEI THE VOTERS CONTROL,

"a great deal of discussion has
been carried on throughout the
territory in regard to the adoption
Of the Crawford plan of primary
elections for the nomination of
party tickets. The plan seems to
have received almost the unani-
nous support of the territorial
press. This may safely be taken
as evidence Of a strong public
sentiment in favor of the plan.
The only paper that has hesitated
in endorsing the Crawford primary
plan of allowing the party voters
to select candidates instead Of the
political machines, is the GUAR
DIAN at Stafford. 1t is understood
that the editor Of the GUARDIAN is
an aspirant for Office and if so he
would stand a much better show of
election if nominated by the peo-
pie than he will if nominated by q
machine, and that is all that any
delegated convention, such as
has been held heretofore in Ari-
zona, is worthy Of being called.
No one can put forth any objec-
ton to the primary election plan
and the GUARDIAN does not at.
tempt to do so. The plan simply
allows each party voter to have a
voice in the selection Of party can
didates and takes that business
way from would-be party bosses" "
-Morenci STANDARD.
In the first place not all OF
the territorial press has endorsed
the plan, and very small per cent
of the counties have adopted it
and very few will adopt it until
the people authorize it. But the
GUARDIAN is one paper that die
and does endorse the primary plar
and we realize fully that any can
didate is more sure of election i
nominated by such plan, but the
editor Of this paper would rather
never be nominated or elected tC
any Office than to assume the role
of dictator and use the power a.
his disposal, as chairman of thC
central committee, to stuff dowr
the throatS of. the people of this
county measure Of that kline
| without their knowledge or con
sent. We are too thorough ;
Democrat to attempt to take from
the people that which belongs t.
them and every one present at th,
central committee meeting felt th
same way; not man there woulC
make a motion for the adoption o
the Crawford plan.
There were only five committee
men present, and not one cam
from the east end of the county
If the Standard was so deeply in
terested in the adoption of thi
plan it would have done the party
better service by using its ener
1 gieS to get a full Centra
committee present or at leas
to have its own precinc
represented, than now to be at
tempting to stir up strife over th,
result. Were the work to be don,
over again, under the same condi
tions, the result would be tn,
same. No man has the right to at
tempt to become dictator to hi
party, and the committees actor
in allowing the matter to be settled
in the primaries is endorsed by /
Large maj ority of people.
