A MANS CHANGE.

No. 0145 was George Bentham, bla ck sheep and little short of blackguard He was the son of a wealthy man of Los Angeles, and he had done few right things in his whole life. He was the weakling of the brood and llis weakness was pretty stif1iy mixed with viciousness. He had been drunkard, a gambler and much of libertine be- fore attaining his majority, and after that he was all three on a heavier scale. He had been cast out of his University, cast out uf clubs. cold shOuldered by all of his friends, lnd yet he went right on. His father had argued with him. entreated him. seemed him; but it was no good. The boy didn't appear to have the stuff in him to get to himself At length young Bentham made an unbelievable scan- dalous marriage. square on the Bar bary coast of San FranciscC-a hand some, slashing. black-eyed woman of 9, with the temper of a devil, named Stella Treharne-or so named on the Barbary coast. She was fond of the scapegrace. would-and did-fight for him tooth and nail, and snapped her fingers at all the lightnings of the world. One night she quarreled vio- i iently with him in a tweak of jealousy, and the next day-to spite her, oh. the wise youth,-young Bentham en- listed in the regular army, thinking it would be so easy to get out when his black-eyed wife should melt towards him. She found him at the Presidio in the rough and unbecoming uniform of recruit. and there was something a good deal like dampness in her soma- times raging eyes of night. She fawned upon the commanding officer: she did many things; but the best that she found was that her bad lot of a nus band was booked for five years Of routine as buck soldier in the Amari- can army. Then she stormed and told him to desert. He deserted. They got him. Hence his coarse gray uniform of wool and the red No. 0l45 on his back.-Clarence L. Cullen in Lppin- COtt'S

VERY PLAUSIBLE THEORY.

Joseph Whitton, a former treasurer of the Arch Street theater in Phila- delphia, tells a story of henpecked actor who played there for time. lis wife frequently called for him at the stage door after the performance, and the other players heard enough cn such occasions to convince them that their fellow Thespian was not boss. One day he was asked. Why are you like a donkey?" and, on saying he cid not know the answer, was told: Be cause your better half is stubbornness tself.'' This jest, with it's well war ranted allusion to the Xantippe-lilk wife at home, pleased him so much that he determined to brave her anger in order to trap her. She called for him that evening: and, after winking to his fellow players who stood about the little alley in the rear of the rha- ater, he addressed her:
 My dear. do you know why l am like donkey?"
 Again he winked, and then waited for her to say she did not know. She looked him over from head to foot in plying Scorn for moment, and then said:
 'I suppose because you were born so. Come home. Philadelphia Times.

Mines and Minerals of Arizona

i Steve Corley of Silver City has nine locations on the east end of the Gotta x Barkley property. upon which he has done considerable development work, showing ore all along.
 | MT. J. F. Kelly has moved over to his property on Apache creek. near | Winchester Park, where he is taking i out some very fine glance ore. MT. Kelly says that he is going to ship his ore by the carload lot. which shows that his head is not as flat on top as You heard it was. MT. Kelly has ,he best poor mans mine in the country, | and We can't see why some one that has fifteen or twenty thousand dollars don't come along and buy him Cut. They could probably develop the prop erty into big paying proposition. and make the ore they take out pay eX- penses.
 Now the Phillips and Hill property, which is only twelve miles from Dun can. in the same district, shows so far | to be the largest deposit of ore that has ever been discovered in the coun- try. We find copper over a space from one to two miles in width. that the assays show to be from to 96 per aelt copper, not saying anything about the l gold and silver ana other N2luaDl metals that it may contain. As to the lime and iron. there is no end to it, so a company would net be short Of fiuX- ing in case they take hold of this prop erty. It is only eight miles from the Gila river with good roads, No moun- tains to climb or cut through. They have eighteen claims located in q group known as the Vanderbilt group. There is not q claim in the group hat | you can't drive over Tn a buggy. Good wagon road from Duncan and )n,y | twelve miles distant.
 MT. Joe Hill of Duncan and MT. John Brown and MT. McCullon of Lordsbury were out exporting this property and they say that there is bound to be a large body of rich ore here, and not very far down to it. which is the same opinion of every one that has been over the ground.
 Mir. R. H. keesee and Pete Torrance are interested in some very fine gold and silver property which also carries considerable copper. They have seven claims all showing good ore. On some of these claims they have free gold running from S10O to S200 to the ton ir gold, at depth of twenty feet. show ing good ore from top to bottom.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

(F'rom the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont)
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for- tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travelling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat. gave him q very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost inn possible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was ~e- peated. The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by Elvey & Hulett.

RELIC OF JOHNNY APPLEsEED

Jonathan Chapman, known as "John- ny Appleseed," the eccentric character who traversed this section of Ohio in the earlier half of the last century planting apple seeds and establishing nurseries. was not popularly supposed to have either purse or script, but 1t seems that this was not the case NJ F. Bushnell a member of the local his torical society, who erected a mouu- ment to the memory of Johnny Apple seed'' in one of the parks Of Mansfield O., last year, has received from Mrs Josephine E. Scott of the Maumee Val ley Pioneer association a large leather pocketbook that belonged to the peri patetic Appleseed, and which bears on the flap his autograph. This interest ing relic will be exhibited at the ..n- nual meeting of the Richland County Historical society to be held in Mans field, June Il, upon which occasion the principal address will be delivered by the Hon. A. W. Patrick of New Phil delphia.-Cincinnati Tribune

WAS EAGER TO PLEASE.

When Representative Barney of Wisconsin started south on d recent trip he laid in good stock of clean linen, as he supposed. But ere he reached Tuskegee. Ala, the congress sional party penetrated a very hot wave, which, combined with the dust of travel, made rapid inroads into the Wisconsin members available attire.
 On arriving In Tuskegee he presented himself in a general store, where gents furnishings and ladies' millinery and dress goods were kept for sale. He "e- Quested of q young countryman, who waited on him, the purchase of a clean shirt.
 "Sixteen and half" he responded in answer to a query about the size.
 I'm sorry, sir, We haven't that size" " responded the accommodating sales man, but perhaps l can find q fat lady's shirt waist which would fit you'
 II hardly think that would do,' said MT. Barney, considera bly, astonished.
 The gentlemen here In Tuskegee often get fitted that way very nicely" suggested the salesman in entire good faith. but MT. Barney preferred to wait for his new shirt until he reached 4fobile.-W ashinston Post.

THE MAYFLOWER DISTRICT
A Ken arkably Rich Copper Field in
 Eastern Arizona.

A correspondent Of the Copper Era writes as follows of the Mayflower dts trict, near the eastern Arizona line:
 Mir. Frank Morris, from the two Thumbs, is in the city looking around to see what he can find. He says that George w. Phillips has the biggest copper mine he has ever seen in the country. and of course we agree with him, as he has two well defined lodges that are from twelve to twenty feet wide and all ore that will run from , 10 h per cent copper, and it's only d matter oi a very short time. We think, when the MayfiCwer district will be shown up to be the richest district n the territory. According to our judg- ment it's not going to take as much money to develop this district as it has other districts where they TOW have paying mines. We have been all Over this district time and time again. md have found that there is more copper on top of the ground than we ever saw in any district before.
 The Gotta and Berkley property On Apache creek, is a big proposition.
 The Copper Hill property, owned by Silver City parties, is another.
 Messrs. Williams and Anderson of Clifton and Frank Morris of Duncan have group of twelve claims at the two Thumbs mountains, which show to be a very large body of rich ore.

ACCIDENT AT THE PINKHAM.

Tuesday morning Ed Chalk was ia tally injured at the Pinkham mine by the sheave wheel pulling out of the galioWs frame and striking him on the head, breaking his right arm between the elbow and the wrist and tearing ghastly hole in his thigh and fractur- ing the bone. besides other serious i bruises. Chalk was attending the bucket and was sitting by the side of the shaft waiting for the bucket to come up. w. A. Parker was running the hoist and when the bucket was about Cne-third of the way up saw the wheel pull out. Chalk jumped and Parker instantly stopped the engine It was done so quickly that MT. Parker could not tell exactly what had hap pened- He ran to where the Unfor- tunate man was lying and seeing the cut in his head thought the man was already dead. Calling to the two men working below, he turned Chalk over and began washing the mud and dirt from his face. The man appeared per- fectly HfeleSS. In about ten minureS however he bgan gasping for brath and then Parker undertook to resusci- tate him. Tom Jenkins. the foreman, rode into town after Dr. WhiteSide who accompanied by Walter Schee immediately went out to render aid to the injured man. During the interval of the arrival of the doctor. Parker had managed tc revive him and he asked Parker what had happened, but again relapsed into unconsciousness. AS soon as the doctor reached the mine he set the broken bones and bandage d up the wounds, making his patient ;s comfortable as possible, but to no our pose, as he fingered unconscious until about 1:S0, when he passed over on the other shore.-Chloride Arrow.

CHLORIDE SHELTER
Will Be Ready for Operation Early in
 July.

Tuesday d reporter for the Arizona Arrow of Chloride went down to the smelter site, where he found every thing moving along with a celerity that showed the work was being con- ducted by men who understand their business thoroughly and had enough men at work to put the plant up with out any unnecessary delay. K. Staal- gren, the contractor. and M- Arm strong. the superintendent. gave ne writer every opportunity to view the work and kindly answered all pues- tions regarding this new industry. which is of such vital importance 10 the mining regions of Mohave county in the advancement and progress of It's future history.
 The plant is being put up by the Shasta County Smelling and Refining company whose business standing and ability is too we'll known to western mining people to need any special mention in this article The building is we'll under way and is being put up in good substantial manner by D. w. Aaron. The roof will be covered with corrugated iron. A seventy-horse power boiler is already in place ca pablo of running several more stacks when it is found necessary to add to the capacity of the plant. The boiler room is 1Gx30, sampling room 16x3O blacksmith shop 16x20, and a large dust chamber will be put up to take care of the poisonous fumes from the furnace. A bunk house and assay of flee is already up and grading fer the road. digging a ditch for the pipe lina and installation of a Fairbanks scale are now in process of construction. 4 gasoline pump is expected next week which will be put up to handle the water from the new well recentl dug by F. W. Theis. As soon as the pump is placed in position the well will iie driven down at least twenty feet deep- CT to insure an abundance of water There are about twenty men at work in and around the smelter site.
 It is the intention of the smelte. people to buy and sample ores, and a first class assayer and metallurgist by the name of Thomas Nelson will have charge of this part of the work as we'll as the entire management of ";f- fairs, MT. Armstrong only being 1T charge temporarily until the compile tion of the work. MT. Armstrong in

PRODUCTION OF BIsMUTH
Tie American Output of 1901 and Its
 Market Value.

Since a large deposit of bismuth has been found near Mesa City in this county the following from Mining Re porter of Denver regarding the pro- dnetion of that metal in the United States is of local interest:
 The production of bismuth ore in the United States in 1901, says Dr. Struth- CTS, amounted to 319 short tons., as compared with 220 short tons in 1900. Colorado supplied the entire output Lake county contributing 254 tons, and Ouray county siXty-five tons. All Of the ore contained gold and silver values, for which producers were paid. The price of the bismuth contained va ried from SS to $11 per unit. As nearly as can be aScertained the value of the 3l9 tons was $25,4S8, less the deduc- tions of transportation and treatment charges, or an average of $50 per ton The ore was purchased by the Lead vile sampler at LeadVille, the State Ore Sampling Works at Denver, or vas shipped direct to Johnson, Matthey & Co.,, Ltd, England The worlds ;up- ply of metallic bismuth is controlled ,uy the combined interests of the Johnson. Matthey X Co. and the Saxon govern ment. who regulate absolutely the pro- duction and the prices of the metal and it's ores. The importation of bismuth into the United States in 1901 was 165 = lS2 pounds, valued at s239. 061, against 1SO, 433 pounds, valued at $246. 591. In 1900. In addition to this there was a small importation of bismuth in medi- cinal preparations. The occurrence oi bismuth is quite widespread. and 1t is found both in the combined and in the free state in many of the western states.

as an after dinner speaker, story teller and entertainer.
 It was not the first time Mark Twain had convulsed the company at bah Quet board with a witty response to a toast. But the talk on babies, Tn which he drew a picture of the victor ious commander of the Union armies, the honored guest of the evening, mai.- ing a frantic effort to get one of his large toes into his mouth, was SO sparkling in it's wit and so delicious in humor that his fame as a post prandial speaker went quickly round the world.
 In after years, when he made Q, lec- turing tour with George w. Cable. he added to his fame as an after dinner talker the distinction of prince of American story tellers. The audiences sat stoically and patiently through the dramatic recitations of Cable, waiting to hear the stories of Twain, told with irresistible drollery and with humor- ous elaboration oi detail that never seemed to weary his listeners. But the genial humorist has made his Hast public speech"-so he said s-s he closed a brilliant talk at the Mis- souri university on Thursday, where Ee received the degree of bachelor of laws and where he was the recipient of un- usual honors. It is not known how many farewell speeches" Mark Twain has made. They are surely greater in number than Patti's farewell tours.'
 The speech of Thursday may have been the last one he will ever deliver in Missouri, but we do not believe he can stop talking any more than Chauncey | DcpeW can stop talking. Even at the ripe age of 67 this ineXhaustible well of humCr must occasionally bubble over. 1 l-Chicago Record Herald.
