THE LIFE OF LEO
Passage From Navitiate to the Great
 est of Fisherman's Successors.

Joachim or Guiacchino Pecci was born at Carpineto. Italy, on March 2. 1S10, and was descended from an an cient and illustrious house. He was sent to the Roman college, where he completed the usual course of studies, and entered the Academy of the Eccle siastical obleS and pursued the stud ies of law and theology until he en- tered the priesthood. In March of 1887 he was appointed by Pope Gregory XVI domestic prelate and private ref erendary and received the title of pro- tonotary apostolic. He was subse quently sent by the same pope as dele gate to direct the government of Bene- vento. This was the smallest of the papal districts ruled by a delegate and contained fifty square miles and about 25,O00 inhabitants. He was soon re- moved to the larger charge of Spoleto, and was afterward advanced to be dele gate to Perugia. In 1S43 he became bishop of Damietta, Egypt. and was sent as apostolic delegate to the king of Belgium. He was recalled on his own request on account of ill-health and was transferred from the see of Damietta to that of Perugia.
 In 1853 he was created by Plus TX d cardinal of the order of priests and assigned to the congregations of the council of immunity, of rites and of regular discipline. His election to the papacy occurred on February 20, 1878, in a conclave of forty hours, two weeks after the death of Plus x.
 Public opinion regarded the new pope as characterized above all things by love of peace, and it was expected that, departing from that non pos sumus policy of his predecessor, he would speedily conclude d compromise with the Italian government and thus put an end to the antagonism between the va .ican and the quirinal. But the world was soon undeceived, and, in his first encyclical, promulgated at the easter following his accession, Pope

TOMBSTONE CONSOLIDATED
Progress of the Work on Contention
 Hill.

While there is no buster or unusual excitement on Contention hill. every body around the big shaft is busy and the pumps are lifting 2.15O0O0 gallons of water per day of A hours, and the flow of water into the shaft is slightly on the diminish says the Tombstone Prospector.
 The work of cleaning out and retim- boring Emerald shaft is progressing satisfactorily. the force having reached the second level or 230 feet depth. This is an incline of about 30 per cent, and owing to long idleness the timbers went to decay and as a result cave-ins oc- cured. and the work of repairing dam ages must of necessity be slow and caution observed.
 A small force is at work on the Sil- verthread shaft, and rapid progress is being made in sinking, while tho usual number of men are employed on the Tranquility.
 One carload of ore is shipped each day from the main workings, and sev- eral of the old dumps of by-gone days are found to be sufficiently rich to justify shipping, and much of that which was heretofore regarded as worthless and cast aside is now made to yield a handsome revenue, the build ing of the railroad into Tombstone making this fact passible.
 Large armies must of necessity move slowly, and in a corresponding ratio such a gigantic undertak- ing as rehabilitating the Tombstone mines must be proceeded with ca T. tiously. as becomes conservative men who construct not for a day. but for all time. Everything. both below and upon the surface. is working admrably and the Consolidated Mines Co. is to be congratulated upon the thoroughness with which the work is being prosecut- ed, and the progress made against con- tending obstacles.
 Two hundred men are now on the payroll. and the force will be increas- ed from time to time as improved con- ditions may warrant.

SOME IMMEDIATE QUESTIONS.
Simple Enough Under Leo. but Now
 Become Very Complex.

Rome. July 2O.-The death of the pope brings about widespread change in all administrative departments of the church and it considerably influenc- es questions of church policy The change within the vatican affects prac- tically all officials from the highest to the lowest. Cardinal Rampolla retires from the post of secretary of state, where he exercised a strong influence owing to the physical infirmities of Leo. Other high officials are similarly affected. The propaganda alone re- mains intact.
 The chief international questions that may be affected by the death of the pope are those connected with the sup pression of the religious orders in France. the change of the clergy in the new Spanish-American possessions. the selection of a successor to Cardinal Vaughn and attendant questions con nected with the administration of the church in England.
 Among vatican officials the Philip pine question, involving transfers from the Spanish to the American hierarchy and the elimination of the friars is regarded as one of the most important. The present Philippine pohcy had the hearty approval of Leo XIII. and there is no reason to believe it will be chang ed. The relations between the Italian governmdlt and vatican continue to be serious problems. Although the tenn pOral authority of the papacy termin- Gted eight years before Leo XIII be- came pope. he steadfastly maintained the principle of temporal power and the question of the relations of the government and the vatican remains one of the highest importance. Mon signor Gaspari. who it is said will be designated by Cardinal Oreglia to sue Ceed the late Monsignor Volpini as sec retary of the consistory. served as sec retary of the special commission of car dinals appointed to deal with the Phil ippine question. In this capacity he took a prominent part in the negotia- tion with the Taft commission in Rome last year.

grade ore from other levels is continu- ed. On the surface the foundation for a new machine shop and smithy has been laid and the work of construct ing the new building has been com menced. It will be quite a little larger than the old building and will contain many conveniences.
 With its accustomed steadiness the Queen company is advancing develop ment work on it's various newer shafts and opening a great deal of new ground in preparation for season of largely increased production soon to be inaugurated.
 The new work in the old incline will be rushed as soon as the road along the foot of the hill and leading up to the incline is completed.
 This company readily handles the water in the several shafts and is lift ing the usual quantity of high grade ore and shipping the large billets of metal to the eastern market.

FOUR COMPARTMENT SHAFT
Junction Development Co Will Do Big
 Work From the Start.

Two, two and a half and three com partment shafts may be all right but the latest company to start sinking for the wealth producing mineral, feels that four compartments is just about the right thing and on the morning of July 18th. the Junction Development ompany broke ground on their eXten- sive holdings in the flat below the Lowell boarding house, and are now sinking rapidly a shaft that will have four compartments each four feet by four feet six inches, says the Bisbee Review.
 This is the first company in the dis trict to start from the surface with such a business-like shaft. and though the ground is low the collar will be elevated six feet to start with and will probably be lifted higher later on. Surface improvements are being made and timber and other supplies are all ready plentiful on the property. A hoist will be established at once and work pushed with the utmost vigor.
 The land owned by this company includes from near the railroad to the cemetery and from the Lowell board ing house to the two green painted houses on the foot hills, a large terri tory and pretty level.
 Water in the Calumet & Arizona is less abundant and the regular pumps are handling it nicely, without the aid of the balls. The new Prescott pump has been lowered to it's station at the HOO foot level and will soon be in com mission. A large amount of develop ment work has been done at the HOO foot level and ore encountered in up- raises. The steady output of high

WORK TO BEGIN
On the Property of the Con. Gold
 and Copper Mines Co.

One of the interested parties received a letter recently from MT. H. <. Mc- Callum, now in Indianapolis, Indiana, stating that the necessary funds would soon be forthcoming to start active de- volopment on the group of thirteen claims, owned by the Con. Gold & Cop per Mines Co. in Copper Basin.
 The company was organized a year ago, when it was expected that work would begin at once on a large scale. Other things came up of great import ance and MT. McCallum. the head of the company. was unable to push de- velopment as he had expected to do. He now writes that everything is look ing bright and that the company will soon be booming.
 The group of claims were owned by George Foster. w. l.. Foster, w. l.. Foster, w. L. Foster and Mike McGet- trick. all of whom are large stockhold- CTS in the corporation.

TAXING THE BANKS
Opinion Given Yesterday By Judge
 Baker Respecting Assessment.

District Attorney Baker yesterday recommended to the board of supervis- ors who had asked him for an opinion respecting the taxing of bank stock. that they assess the banks for the full amount of their capital stock but eN- empt from the usual realty tax such property as represents any portion ot the capital stock
 It had been the custom heretofore to assess the banks for So per cent os their capital stock. deducting from that amount the valuation of the real estate held by the bank and which was as- sessed as are other real estate holdirgs- The purpose was to avoid double taxa ton. This year. however, County As sessor Luke assessed the banks for sa per cent of their capital stock including the land. which he assumed was part cf the capital stock. and then assessed the land as usual The bankers pro tested to the board of supervisors. who in turn referred it to the district at torney.

A RUNAWAY TRAIN.

Friday afternoon nine cars broke loose from a train in the Douglas yard and took a trip of six miles into So- nora. A drawhead pulled out, which freed the cars from the engine. The cars being heavily loaded, gained great speed. and went six miles into Sonora before being stopped. Six of the cars left the track and are a total wreck. their loads being dumped beside the track. Part of the track is badly torn up. and it will be day or two before the road is cleared.
 The worst feature of the wreck was the injuri1g of three MeXicans who were on the track and were caught by the runaway train. One of the men had leg broken, one of them had his head broken, and the other was badly cut about the body.-Review.

THE CALL OF THE WILD.
Mr. Hamilton w. Mabie Re-
 views Jack London's $ New Novel.

In his new story, "The Call of the Wild" Jack London has written the romance of a dog gs life with vigor, insight, and dramatic power which no other similar tale except ." Bob, Sop of Battle approaches in interest and literary quality. The Scotch story depends largely on the human elements which are mixed with it :: "The Call of the Wild" centres entirely in Buck, the great dog who is stolen from ranch in Southern California, where he is the soul of fidelity, rewarded by the greatest freedom and affection; taken to the far north, and made a member of team of dogs who carry the mail into the Yukon region. Gradually his character changes under the pressure of new and hard conditions. He becomes a leader and master among his fellows, the older and more savage instincts reviving in him. In the end, after the most adventurous life described with graphic power 1.-The Call of the Wild" becomes more and more distinct and finally masters him, and he reverts to the savage state in the northern wilderness. becomes the mate of wolves. and lives as his ancestors lived centuries before him.
 This change from civilization to savagcry is effected gradually, and is traced, stage by stage, with dramatic and deepening interest The story has deep psychologist interest, and may be read as striking parable but il is, above all. an absorbing tale of wild life, full of pictorial power and abounding in striking

plained.
 Joe Rule, the man who was found ly |. ing in front of the Calumet hospital Thursday. was not altogether wrong in some ot his assertions, but his mud dled condition of mind played q prcmi- nent part in his tale of the outrages to which he had been subjected. Frank Moson and two of his cowboys were in camp on the line of the E. P & s. w. when they saw a man who acted queer ly and called on them for help. When Moson went near him to see what was the matter the stranger made a move as if to draw knife and advanced up- on him. Moson could see that the man was out of his mind, and as means to frighten him off shot his sixshooter into the air. The crazed man then withdrew to a bridge which was near and the cowpunchers roped him and drew him off the bridge. It was then discovered that his foot was injured, and that morning he was taken to Bisbee on the stage from Naco. He was probably put off at the hospital, which accounts for his being found there by the nurse.-Review
