THE WOOD MINES COMPANY, capital stock $50, 100000 (5.00O shares par value 5000 per share), is being or ganiZed to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed. but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men 0rom whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1,250 shares at $12.50 per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such q property would be floated on a million dollar capitaliZa- tiOn- Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commis- sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock will be used in purchasing a mill, con- centration and cyanide plant. so that the mine will immediately become a producer and dividend payer.

 In 1900 I demonstrated that the old Cobre Graude Co, on capitalization of half million, could earn net profits of $1 ,500.00 per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines Co. will ex- ceed 30 per cent of the capitalization.

A LIEUTENANT U. s A.
A Fugitive With Charge of Bigamy
 Hanging Over Him.

Chicago. June 29.-Lieutenant Will liam K. McCue of the United States army, has disappeared with a charge of bigamy hanging over him and de- serted bride of two weeks rnourns his absence and fears he has committed suicide The bride was Miss Viola Simon of San Francisco, who married him after a courtship of less than fortnight.
 She is now in this city waiting for money with which to return to her fathers house. About the time the lieutenant bid his bride good-by this morning telling her that he would soon return, a woman in Cincinnati, who says she is his wife, informed the chief of police there that he had contracted a bigamous marriage. She said her we'd ding took place while McCue was an enlisted soldier stationed at Fort Thomas. Exposure was brought on when Lieutenant McCue. asked his new father-in-law to send cards announcing the wedding to the woman in Cincin- nati who now claims to be his wife. She has been living there under the name of Ida Westcott and had corre- sponded regularly with McCue until 1900. McCue and his bride arrived here nine days ago. She said today he told her they were ging to Fort Porter. N. Y., where his regiment had been as- signed to duty. The deserted brides father is Sigmund L. Simon. who has been cashier and bookkeeper in the sheriff's office in San Francisco for twenty-five years.
 Mrs. McCue and her father, Leonard Westcott, requested Chief of Police Milliken to communicate with the war department at Washington and ask to have Lieutenant McCue relieved from active duty and placed in a government detention hospital. Mrs. McCue says her husband was stricken with malarial fever in the Philippines and she attri- butes his present conduct to his mental condition resulting from the fever. Mrs. Cue is heartbroken over the affair and says so far as she knows that no divorce has been granted to the lieu tenant.
 McCue lad left the hotel and his bride, believing she had been deserted, made arrangements to return to her parents in San Francisco. A few min utes before midnight McCue returned stating that he had spent the day at Fort Sheridan. The bride in the mean time had left the hotel and up to a late hour McCue has not been able to find her. He positively denies the charge of digamy. After his return to the hotel tonight Lieutenant McCue was told of the exact nature of the charges against him. He made the fol- lowing statement:
 ''I never was married to Ida West colt all reports to the contrary not withstanding. My courtship with Mrs. McCue was not nasty enc. I met her in San Francisco before I went to the Philippines. have a ten days ex-

NEW YORK FLOODED.
A Terrific Rainstorm Attended by an
 Electrical Disturbance.

New York, June 29.-New York and vicinity as well as all this part of the country was flooded today by a down. pour of rain, during which, in the course of a few hours, about half as much water fell as in the prolonged period of wet weather this month. The storm was accompanied by thunder and lightning, and several conspicuous spots were struck by bolts.
 Streets in various sections of Great er New York were inundated, and it is expected the damage by water will be very great. The flood was most serious along the shore front, on the south and west streets in the borough of Manhat- tan and in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where much damage was done by floods twelve years age. For a good portion of the day here the water in some of the streets was four and five feet deep and many families were held prisoners in their homes.
 Fifteen feet of a sewer which is being constructed in Brooklyn caved in. About twenty men were at work in the excavation. but all managed to escape except Peter Sears, who. it is supposed was caught in the flood and washed away in the sewer.

PAPER AND
Both Have Duties to Perform For
Mutual Welfare.

We desire TO speak Of the duty OF
all citizens toward their home paper,
and, as we view 1t, the duty Of a paper
to the citizens of the town and county.
We base our opinions on the expe-
renee and observations gained
20 years of newspaper
work. During that time we
have witnessed many failures, and
many attempts that were hardly more.
In nine cases out Of ten, where q news
paper makes a failure. two sides are
affected. On the one hand there is
paper, and on the other the people. We
may be wrong, but W. believe that the
failures are caused not so much by the
weakness of the mar or men who con-
duct a paper, nor yet by the unwilling
ness of the people TO extend the neces-
sary financial and moral support. as by
the failure Of the two sides TO get to-
gether and pull in the same direction
for the desired end.
Few people, we fear, ever reflect on
the importance to a. community Of a
good, live, broad and progressive news
paper, or how much a paper belongs to
the people. 1t is of a truth an insti-
tuition "of the people. by the people
and for the people, and the paper that
has not the interests of the people it
represents always at heart. above and
in preference to all other interests. will
not and cannot live long and prosper.
The duty Of a local newspaper, as
we view it. is to boost in the ex-
pressive, if somewhat slangy express
sion Of the day. The world has no
use for a -knocker," and least of all
for a back-biting. knocking news
paper. Every true and sincere news
paper editor will and should gladly
grasp every opportunity to boost his
town; to publish every item obtainable
that will advertise the good things of
his county and help to promote every
interest of the citizens thereof, indi-
vidually and collectively. And the
people fail in their duty, not merely to
the ape that labors increasingly in
their behalf, but to each other and TO
themselves if they withhold the SUP
port and encouragement they might SO
easily give Silver State.
