STEAMER PURCHASED
FOR THE C0LOMBIANS
Was at First Believed to Have Been
Bought by Hayti- Some Mys-
terry About II.

New York, Dec 1.-THE little stear
er Scythian which is alleged to have
beer purchased by the Haytien govern
ment for gunboat. sneaked out Of
port during the early hours yesterday.
1t is believed that she is not going to
Hayti, but that she has been purchas-
ed by the Colombian government, as
she left here at the same time as the
Schooner James Slater.
The Slater Is said to have had on
board lot OF gunpowder for the Co
lombian government and il was report
ed that she had taken aboard thirty
men that had been picked up along
South street. 1t was supposedly those
who credited the story about the Scy-
THAN. that the men would he put OIL
board the steamer when she got out
side the three mile limit Tue steamer
cleared for Hayti on Saturday. She can
go there and then cross over to Co
lombia.
The Colombian consul at this port de-
MED that the schooner was carrying
munitions of war. He had no know
ledge Of the destination or ownership
of the steamer. The only .hing that
rumor had to connect the steamer
with the Colombian government, was
the fact that she loaded at the same
pier as the schooner, and the fact that
the men were being recruited and sent
down the bay at the same time.

RAYMOND HitchcOck's Autograph.

Raymond Hitchcock, the comedian.

hends for many years, but he is through

Hitchcock received a letter from a
young woman at Fashionable college
near Boston. asking for his autograph
he obligingly wrote his name on a slip
OF paper and sent It to her. After the
next matinee the autograph wss discov-
cred in the box office. The bright little
college girl had written above Hitch

HIS IDEA OF CEREMONY.

D. Alfred Wallace. the octogenarian English scientist, who asserts that he can prove the earth to be the center of the universe. lived in his youth in the Molucc2s. One of his neighbors in those remote islands was an old sailor. and of this aged man Dr. Wallace some- times tells an old story.
 In certain port the sailor had been once invited to a dance. He accepted the invitation, and all through the ev- ening he bounded in hearty and un- couth manner through dances of every kind. But he wore no gloves, and hence the climate being tropical. his large moist hands left strains on the white raiment of the women.
 One. a little veXed, thought she would take him to task for this.
 Don't you think, dancing so much you ought to wear gloves?" she said.

Mines and Minerals ef Arizona
THE MONITOR GROUP
Promising Gold Claims Four Miles
 From Prescott.

R. D. and G. w. French have five mining claims, known as the Monito.' group. situated four miles southeast Of rescott, ore from which can be seen at the office of R. D. French, in the Bank of Arizona building. says the Prescott Courier. The Monitor claim has produced ore which paid well when worked in an arrastra, but the free surface condition soon gave way and sulphide ores could not be handled ty that primitive method. The vein is about five feet between walls, the pay streak being one to two feet wide This vein also runs through the Sunrise claim. where it shows a strong out crop. The Tip Top claim has a vein which is wider than an ordinary shaft. the ore being quartz carrying gold and copper. The vein accompanies a wide dike of porphyry. which carries gold values from B to $40 per ton. Two other claims, the Swan and Grey Eagle show extremely strong mineralized dikes, and there are cross veins which, as yet, are unexplored. One of the best of Prescott's mining engineers has ex- amined this property and says of it: "The Monitor group offers somewha | exceptional advantages as a develop ment proposition because of it's unus- ually favorable sitatiOn as regards supplies, fuel. transportation, etc. com . bined with one or more lodges of good promise. The formation of granite country rock. cut by strong dikes and lodges of porphyry and diorite. is fav- Orable to good continuity and depth. and the character of the ore found in the surface workings of the Tip Top and Monitor is good enough to warrant further search for the bodies of which it has formed a part It would rot De surprising if these properties would ul- timately prove a big benefit to their owners and to Prescott, being only ar hours walk from this city.

 Henry is justly elated over this recen. strike, as are other people who are operating in that section. It is an as : surance that with deep mining the Dra- goons vii prove as rich, if not richer than any portion of the Mule noun tains, whose merit as a copper produc- ing section is no longer doubted. The county is fortunate in having so thor ough d mining man at the head of a compay as is MT.
