SPENCER AND GUNTER.

Archibald Clavering Gunter and Her bert Spencer had points in common. recalls Victor Smith in the New York Press. Both were civil engineers in early life. Both drifted into author ship. Spencer could find no publisher willing to take a risk on his first book. therefore he published it himself. Gun ter had precisely the same experience. But Spencer had accounts" which brought him in a stated incomei Gun ter had a few dollars which he had saved in mining and railroading. Spen- ccr issued 750 copies of his book, gave away few and sold the rest in four teen years. Gunter. we are told, got out many editions of his, and sold 100,- 0C0 copies in a year and a half Spen- cer had to be his own publisher of his second book, the edition, like the first, being 750 copies, which he was twelve and one-half years in disposing of. Gunter's profits were so large that he was enabled to establish a publishing house of his own. Both were natives of England.

HOUSE OF BEER BOTTLES.
The Device of a Nevada Miner Who
 Couldn't Get Lumber.

Tonopah, New, aside from being famed on account of it's vast mineral resources. also occupies the unique distinction of numbering among it's in habitants a man who is able to live in glass house and throw unlimited quantities of stones at the same time without suffering any of the serious inconvenience popularly supposed to surround such an association.
 Not a tree grows within sixty miles of the great mining camp. and very naturally building material and fuel brings all sorts of fancy prices, the commonest kind of lumber selling for S66 per 1000 feet, while inferior grades of scrub cedar command $22 a cord. Consequent upon this condition, vari- ous subterfuges are resorted to in the architectural makeup of Tonopah. There are houses made of straw, of burlap sacks trimmed with blue jean overalls, of tin from five gallon oil cans, of dry goods and cracker box lumber of mud, stone, tents, cloth-in fact. almost every sort of contrivance is resorted to as d makeshift for

TEMPE
RESULTS OF CHRISTMAS.
Only Two Cases in Justice Nielsen's
 Court Yesterday.

This years Christmas has been a dull one in several ways. Even the population of East Tempe were un- usually quiet for such an occasion. Ordinarily there would have been several fights and as many arrests but Friday was an exception. And yester- day there were but two cases before the justice.
 Some time Friday afternoon, while a crowd of MeXicans were standing around a saloon, in East Tempo, Ro- ques Montijo and Antonio Rodriguiz became involved in a discussion as to which was the better man of the two. Rodriguez insisted he was, but An tonic denied the statement and backed it by starting to pull off his coat. Montijo was ready and only the ap- pearance of an officer prevented live ly set-to. They were arrested and finished their discussion in court yes terday afternoon. The justice, how ever. could see no difference in the re- spective merits of the two and fined each $10. They were given a short time to raise the amount and upon their failure to do so they will end m equal number of days in Phoenix. Rodriguez only completed twenty days sentence few days ago.

KNOBS O. TENNESSEE.

The second night of the play at the opera house was attended by large audience, and the public was given as clever an entertainment as was eevr witnessed in Mesa. From start to fin- ish the work was good. From scene to scene, from act to act, the movement was smooth, harmonious, and each member of the company appeared de- termined to eclipse all former efforts in the art histrionic. The performance was one that would reflect credit on any stage, and the performers have ev- cry reason to feel proud of their work. "The Knobs O Tennessee" is certainly one of the best dramas that could have been selected.
 On Monday night, Dec. 18th, the play will be repeated, the proceeds to be applied to the benefit of the Sunday school. On this occasion all those over fifty years of age, all widows and or phans and the wives of those away on missions for the Mormon church will be given reserved seats free of charge Tickets at O. s.
