STORIES OF THE LINE.

One night in 1893. in the summer time one of the inspectors was detailed to watch for smugglers on the trail that runs back of the residence portion of Nogales, known as Nigger Hill. The night was warn, the inspector took off a new coat, not of the present regula ton style hung it on a limb of Q. tree, and business being dull layed down and vert to sleep. Some one came along and stole the coat.
 In the same year an inspector named Lyle brought prisoner over from Loc- hiel charged with smuggling. When they reached the point in town known as Yaqui Hill Git is the rocky point op- posite the round house of the railroad company the prisoner asked permis- sion to go and see a friend that lived there. He went into the house, out through the back door, and went over the hills and far away into Mexico and was never seen again.-NogaleS Times.

AMBULANCE DRIVER CALLED.
His Presence Set the Whole Neighbor
 hood to Talking.

The ambulance drove rapidly upto the house, stopped, and the driver tumbled out and rushed into the open door. The horses fretted, but stood their ground. and the white wagon gleamed in the sun. A neighboring woman stuck her head , out of the window and wondered at the ambulance standing there.
 "Is anyone dead?" she asked herself. In moment, she was asking it of a neighbor, who had also stuck her head out, intent on the same mission.
 Not that heard of was the second wcman's reply. Perhaps someone is sick
 Maybe a sunstroke," said a third woman, adding her voice to the rest. T seen tn man run in,' chimed in a small boy, who had come on the run with his little sister. Three more small boys and five girls arrived while he was talking, and four mn and ten women gathered within the next minute. Then horde of small children, seeing the group, pressed forward, and the ambu- lance was surrounded. But the tongues still wagged, and the throng grew with every sentence.
 What is it?" said every new arrival. The answers started in vaguely, but within five minutes after the dead cart ciedntal death. Ten minutes later. the talk was of suicide only, and in five minutes more those on the outskirts of the crowd were telling the newest corners that "a woman had murdered | her husband and Sc fire to her child ren' And yet the crowd was added unto with the advent of each passer-by.

PRESCOTT MINING NOTES.

Like everybody else, our Prescott po- lice force (Prince and Giles) have taken to mining. For some time past they have been driving a tunnel on d claim about three miles from the Mohawk mine, with view to tapping a big vein which crops on top of a hill. A day or two ago the miners struck the vein [ depth of 75 feet, exposing fine look ing ore.
 George Clark, of this city, has just returned from a visit to the Prodigal Son group, of which D. M. Clark x Co.,, are owners, and from him we glean the following: The group has been owned by them for seven years and is situated about seven and one'half miles south of this city in the Walker district. At the present time they are prosecuting development work in three shafts and have done about 300 feet of work. On the first or main shaft they are at present sinking on the foot wall and as soon as it is sunk to the 100 foot level they will commence crosscutting. The other two shafts are deeper and all in ore which shows 8 feet wide on the surface. Various tests have been made and while he did not care to say what ,..ey revealed, he did say that they had several offers to bond the group all Ot

SHATTERED HIS ARM.
I. F. Bcnnell Acc;dently Shot Himself
 With Heavy Pistol.

I. r. Bonnell was brought in from Dewey yesterday afternoon on the Big Bug train and taken to the Mercy hos pital for treatment. He is suffering from the effects of d gunshot wound in the right arm, which will probably make him a cripple for life.
 MT. Bonnell was out in the yard Tues day evening back of his saloon at Dew ey. when his revolver fell from his pocket and was discharged. Ttc heavy bullet struck MT. Bonnell's coat in front. piercing the cloth and passing through a. pocket book in the pocket of the coat. Then the leaden missile entered the innner side of the right arm at the elbow and passed up the arm and out near the shoulder on the opposite side of the arm from which it entered. The bone was shattered all the way from elbow to shoulder, mak- ing a very dangerous wound.-Prescott Herald.

On Monday morning last while the four year old child of Dennis M. Stew art, of Mohawk Summit. was playing near the house he was bitten on the leg by a "side-winder' rattlesnake. says the Yuma Sentinel. With unusual presence of mind Mrs. Stewart cauter- iZed the wound and bound the leg above the marks of the fangs.
 This done, the morning train was boarded for this city and the child put under the care of Dr. Ketcherside. AL though someone had presumed so far as to remove the bandage shortly be- fore reaching Yuma, thereby restoring the circulation sufficiently to allow the active poison to take effect, the prompt and skillful treatment of the physician effectually enumerated the poison and soon placed the small patient cut of danger.
 Mrs. Stewart Is to be congratulated on her prompt and proper action under such trying circumstances, as it was, without doubt. the salvation of the child

about as near the ideal prison as this generation is ever likely to get In- stead of being a place where criminals are huddled together without care for their minds, their bodies, or their mor- alS, and where they do nothing but spread the news of their former exploits in the warfare against society and plan future campaigns, it is an admirable exhibition of what scientific penology can accomplish. The inmates are se- SreSated according to Sex, and the sexes are segregated according to age. The quarters of the prisoners are comfort ble enough, and they are kept clean and sanitary. The prisoners are given opportunity to work instead of brood ing in unhealthful idleness, and for the younger among them there is provided 1 compulsory mental as well as physical exercises and useful instruction.
 Many of the inmates have never pre- | viously learned the difference between right and wrong, and very few of them l have had any opportunity to consider the advantages of leading honest lives l It is not that they lack moral sense
 in great number of instances. bu: that they have had no great moral edu- cation, and when they receive this. as
 they do receive it in the jail. only those i who are old and hardened in crime are
 not benefiitted in some degree. The
 records show that many a youth has | come out of the county jail greatly i'm
 proved by his sojourn and has after ward been able to avoid returning there
 It would be a pity if the impression
 should get abroad that the jail of Cool county resembles other county jailS | though John L. Whitman and the de
 voted men and women who have consti tuted themselves his helpers would not cease their admirable work ever
 though they never received any credi
 for it. The truth is that the Cook coun
 ty jail is a model institution, and i:
 so recognized by all students of peno- logy.-Chicago Journal.

DIGGING FOR FISH.

Imagine disciples of Izaak Walton digging for fish! Just as well shoot a fish. some would say, but the fish of which we now tell live in the woods, and have some exceedingly queer habits.
 The morachung of Bootan is most fla nous. It is Icver caught in rivers or even in standing pools though, as some accounts say, it's abiding places always communicate with water. so that it can return to it's native element when so disposed. However that may be, they are caught, not by hook or net, but by the spade; and they are worth some digging-two feet long. perhaps, dis approximately thick, and always in pairs.
 | Plenty of other species are taken in the same way during the hot months, and plently more divert themselves with a stroll on dry land occasionally. Sir R. Schomburgh saw negroes going out to fish in the jungles of Guiana with nothing but a basket or two, and they | brought back as many as they could carry. Sir John Bowring constantly ob- served the fish go ashore and "lose l themselves among the trees" upon the Siamese River Meinam.
 | We also have excellent testimony
 that fish can travel overland with con- siderable speed. If anyone doubts the story it will not seem unreasonable on his part, but the statement is vouched
 for by a reputable man in the employ of the British government. He was in- specting a leaking tank by Trincoma- 1 le. when heavy rain came on. His man
 suddenly raised shout and galloped
 up a "knoll'' the far side of which, that
 distant from the tank, proved to be
 alive with fish climbing upward at pro-
 digious speed; we are to suppose that
 they had left the pool when the water
 escaped, but hastened to return, know 1 ing that the rain would refill it.
 As for burrowing fishes. they are
 numberless. We have a grave report
 of one species found nineteen feet be l low the surface of a field. It is not
 necessary to believe this. But in Ab-
 yssinia they are dug up six feet or more
 below the river bed when it is dry. | So common is this eXcavating in Cey-
 lon that an ingenious magistrate was
 able to decide a question of landmarks
 which seemed hopeless. by taking ad- i vantage of it. One native accused an
 other of diVerting the course of a l stream which was the ancient bounary
 of their respective lands, thus securing
 a strip which did not belong to him | There was evidence on both sides. of
 course
 | The magistrate invited the plaintiff to
 point out the original channel now dry 1 ground. and there he dug. At the prop l CT depth fishes were found-corpses,
 naturally. for it is not alleged that
 these odd creatures can live perma- |

tion- We HOW have about 10.GG0 or 12- 0o0 tons of ere broken and there are 8 miners at work getting out more of the metal every day
 We are down TOO feet from the rus face and in the lower tunnel have sunk another shaft which is now down about 1SO feet.
 There is one thing about the ore at the Black Diamond that makes it an economical mine to work and that is the great amount of silica in the ore which renders it self huxing The ore runs from s to 50 per cent copper and has a general average of about per cent of the pure mtal. The silica runs about 3S per cent, while there is some silver and a little gold.
 We have a furnace of 200 tons daily capacity which, however, is not now working and will not be in operation un- til We can get water piped to the mine and plant. Our plant is an excellent one for the work we have in hand and the fact that the slag shows but SIG of l per cent copper is proof enough ot its saving.
 An experimental run of 250 tons ot our ore we shipped. We do not use 9 converter in our process. We roast the matter thereby oxidizing it and turr out black copper. Each ton of black copper bullion should go about 95 pel cent pure copper with values in silver from 250 to 300 ounces"
