The Chinese Love For the zlguns.

The Chinese Love For the zIgzns.
The straight line is an abomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid It in their streets and buildings
and have banlshed 1t completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They will always substitute a curve
whenever possible, or they will torture
1t into a zigzag.
In districts not subject to the lnau-
ence of the foreigner the houses and
temples are characterized by curved.
often peaked, roofs, ornamented with
fantastic notifications of the myriad
stroke pattern" The inhabitants of
such regions are soon found to have
mental world to correspond. The
straight line is secuted. They think in
curves and zlgzags. To the Chinese
mind the straight line is suggestive Of
death and demons. 1t belongs not to
the heaven above or TO the earth be-
meath. In a true horizon line are seen
the "undulations of the dragon" There
fore, argue the Chinese, the straight
line pertains to hades.-C Contemporary

FIRST PAYMENT ON HIGGINS PROPERTY

John H. Rice, attorney for and one of the directors of the Higgins Deyel- opment company, is now in tho city, and will be here for seyeral days. He stated yesterday that Samuel A. Par nall, for several years superintendent of the Old Dominion mines at Globe, has accepted a similar position with the Higgins company.
 Superintendent Parnall entered up- on his duties yesterday. He paid the Higgins property, which consists of ten claims. a visit yesterday afternoon. and while there mapped out a prelim- mary plan of action for the develop ment of the group.
 The first payment on the property was made in Los Angeles Thursday. $100,00 being turned over to Thomas Higgins. It is understood that the purchase price of the group was about s750.O00. The remainder of the pay ments will be made within a reason ably short length of time
 The Higgins company is composed almo't altogether of capitalists who make their homes at Houghton, Mar quette, Detroit. Chicago and Cleveland. The company;is capitalized for $5,OO0,- 900, with the shares at a par value of $10 each.
 The first block of 30.O00 shares were placed on the market on May 1st. and within two hours at Houghton, Mich igan, that number had been oversub- scribed 2,000 shares. It was at first intended to allot Bisbee 10000 shares, but this number was cut in half in or der to fulfill obligations made with Michigan customers.
 The company will within a short time organize under the laws of Ari-

sold at that price.
 The prices of stocks in Michigan does not always depend on the pro gress being made in the mine. The reason for the advance in Higgins De velopment stock is the confidence the Michigan people have in the directors.
 The names of the directors of the Higgins development company have been decided upon, that is if the num- Der is finally limited to five, (althougb it is possible later that it may be in- creased to seven.

 Although the subscription books were closed at noon May 1st, the de mand for stock continued from all quarters. Calumet and Portage lake parties were calling in person and working the telephone in the hopes that someone had failed to take all the stock for which he had spoken; from Boston came rush of telegrams while Duluth suddenly awoke to the situa- ton and orders for 2,000 and 1000 lots came by wire from the head of the lake.
 All those parties will discover 10 their regret that if they were not on the list by noon of May 1st there is no hope for them. As result of the great demand for the stock it went to a premium before it was allotted to the subscribers and it promises to stick there

BOOZE SOLD TO

KEEPER OF HOUSE OF ILL RE-
 PuTE CHARGED WITH DEFENSE.

Daily Prospeetor Says It Is . Shame to
 Have the Laws Broken in This Man
 ner-case on Trial in Justice Court
 The Tombstone Prospector is going after the keepers of houses of i'll re- pute, who are selling liquors to boys. It takes the cue from case pending in the justice court, and has the follow ing to say about the mater in the news columns:
 A case that has attracted much at tention and no little comment is the one now pending before Justice Ward well on warrants issued last evening. The parties involved are the matron of house of i'll repute, her bartender. and several Tucson boys. The gist of the crime, besides charging the sale of intoxicating liquors to minors, lays also the added serious offense in the temerity of those who sell liquor to minors within the confines of houses of i'll repute, and violating sacred statutory law of the territory, out raging the public morals.
 Tt is passing strange that such a traffic could obtain in a law-abiding community. with safeguards against all other evils, and yet the offenders consider the law defective or void of all force and effect. The city officials have been jealous in the discharge of their sworn duty The community has neglected DO effort to conserve the laws end, and yet in violation of printed statutes to the contrary, mi nors are alleged to frequent certain parts of the city.

 Last Monday some Of the stock in the company sold as high as $16 in Michigan. A number of spectators holding stocks in other companies dis posed of them in order to buy Higgins shares. They made offers all the way from $10 to $16 for the stock.
 Attorney Rice states that the in corporators of the Higgins are as solid a company of capitalists as has ever come into this section to assist in the development of a group of claims. Each of them now holds immense in terests in Michigan and that section of the country.
 It has for some time been an inter esting question in this section, with those who are following the fiuctua- tions in the price of local stocks, what has been the cause of such fiuc- tuations When asked about this yes terday. Attorney Rice said:
 Tn Michigan the people are given to much speculation. They speculate largely in the price of copper, as well as in the stocks of the companies pro ducing it.
 Tt often hapens that one of the spec ulators gets caught, and has to dispose of some of his stocks in order to meet obligations. In such case as this he places a stock on the market, and has to take what is bid.
 Tn many instances the quotations depend entirely on bids. That is to say, quotation is sent out on stock, when it may only be the amount of fered by some bidder, though none is

H0LDREN'S PAST
 IS SEALED BOOK
coRoNER's JURY DECIDES UPON
 CAUSE OF DEATH.

Deceased Never Told Any One About
 His Past Life-care to Bisbee Five
 Months Ago from cananea Mines.
 The inquest held yesterday morning at Il o'clock in Justice McDonaIds office over the death of Thomas Holc- ren developed the fact that the de- ceased came to his death as the result of excessive drinking and irregular habits of living.
 Holdren died in the city jail about ? o'clock Thursday afternoon, where he had been taken a few hours pre- Vious on the supposition that he was under the influence of liquor. Before being arrested he fell in a fit on the street, which is now known to have been caused by illness.
 Nothing can be learned about the past life of Holdren. He came to Bisbee about five months ago from Cananea, where he worked for a short time in the mines. It is not known that he ever tried to get work in the mines around here.
 Since coming to Bisbee, the de ceased has been an indigent. He worked as porter around the St. Louis beer hall, and took his sleep seated SD chairs or lying on the floor. He earned enough money by odd jobs to get enough to eat.
 The deceased left no property CT money. and the county yesterday laid his remains at rest in the pauper's field. When his clothes were searched there were no papers that would throw any light on his past life. If he has any relatives in this country it is not known.
 Holdren was a native of England, and was about 50 years of age at the time of his death. He is thought to have come to this country while young man, and spent several years ip the eastern states before coming to Bisbee.
 During his lifetime, Holdren never made confidant of any one in this city. and for that reason it is impossi- bic to communicate with any of his relatives, as none of them are known by any one in this city.
 Though seen around the St. Louis beer hall day and night. Holdren was never talkative about his private af- fairs. To To one employed there did he ever disclose any of the details Of his past life.

TRACK BLOCKADE
 AT FORREST SIDING
FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED THERE
 WESTERLY MORNING.

Several Cars Piled on Top of One An
 other Delay Trains for Several
 Hours-No One Reported Injured.
 Trains in and out of Bisbee and Douglas were delayed yesterday on account of a serious wreck at Forrest Siding during the morning, in which six cars were piled cn top of each other, but none of the train crew were done any serious injury.
 Engine 54. which left here as an extra, in charge of Conductor Wine land, with Engineer Pollock at the throttle. spread the rails while trying to make a switch. ani the cars piled up On one another just behind the en- zine.
 The wreck was peculiar in one fea- ture, that the freight cars stood across the track at right angles. The wreckage was of such a nature that the wrecking crew had to work sev- eral hours before they could clear the track
 The regular train which passes through here during the forenoon from Benson to Fl Paso was delayed until 2 o'clock in the afternoon before starting to Douglas The regular evening passenger train. bound for Benson, was nearly two hours late.
 Fortunately none of the members of the crew on the freight train were in jured. The men in the engine cab got out before they were hurt by fly ing tfmbers and irons. The conductor and brakeman jumped in time to save themselves being caught in the wreck age.
 The news of the wreck was taken to Douglas by the passenger train which left there for Benson, but had to re- turn to Douglas. on account of the wreck blocking the main track. Train master c. A. Brown at once called out a wrecking crew. which left for the scene to begin work.
 By 6 passenger who viewed the wreck. the following story was told:
 From what I saw. think that the car next following the engine was a fat car. loaded with long timber. This car was squeezed out and into the ditch, and the second car of the train. a box car, teiescoped the tender of the engine. I think that six cars in all were derailed or piled up. Possi- bly one of these may be hauled in on her own trucks; the remainder are hospital patients right now"

The same firm set up a complete

course, arrangements of daily life in

provided for with tips. But when the
fire was lighted the place was not
warmed. A manager and whole
