 THE EUREKA PHOENICIANS.- Malcolm Gillett of the office of the surveyor general has returned from an extended tion on the coast. One of the most enjoyable parts of it was his visit to Eureka, Cal, where his father is residing, having Q fine posi- ton with the Eureka Woolen mills. He also saw James Griffin, who is doing well, but he missed seeing MT. B. F. Porter. who happened to be out of the city. MT Gillett believes that Eureka Is one of the best if not the best town in the United States for the size of it. It is the principal place in Humboldt county, said to be the richest county in the state. The city has a populat tion within the limits of F 1000, and it is sur rounded so closely by q popula tion of 25,000 that il also might as well be within the city limits Ten or twelve steamers are constantly passing be- tween Eureka and san Francisco, car ryilig In one direction lumber and other products of the county and in the other
 
 LAID DOWN.-Fd Lightner appeared on Washington street yesterday after noon in more style than Whitelaw Reid ever attempted while a resident of this city. He had a brand new two- seated buggy and q team of fnelooking horses that pranced down the street a. proudly as any horseman could wish for In the back seat was q gentle man friend who also began to swell up with pride when he saw how the wide world was rubbering at the turnout In front of the Cabinet the team stopped and began backing and spread ing apart When they could not spread any more standing up one of the horses fell over sidewise and laid down. tenn porarily held secure by the harness. Those standing nearby came to the as- sistance of the driver, and when the horses were unhitched it was found that not even a strap was broken, but MT. Lightners friend had tucked. lie had lost his passion fer buggy riding.
 AN UNFORTUNATE MAN.-Ramon Margares a Mexican, employed on the threshing machine of Simon Gold, met with an accident yesterday afternoon that will cripple him for life and handi- cap him in many ways in the earn ing of his living. The machine was at work on the ranch Of John E. Hoover. i've miles southwest of town. Ramon was engaged in Oiling the machinery. and held in his right hand q piece of wire which caught in the cogwheels. In some manner it was twisted around his hand so he could not let go. and the wire lacerated his fingers so badly it was necessary to amputate all four of them and l part of the thumb. The man was brought to the office of pr. Stroud where the surgical operation was performed. The wire was so twisted into the flesh and bones that 1t was removed only with the amputated fn- gers, which it was necessary to un- jcint at the knuckle in order to get sufficient length of skin to cover the wound. The patient stood tte operation well and the wound will probably heal readily.
 BUYING BY WEIGHT.-Buying by weight is rather new method of se- lecting ones best girl, but that is what will be done at the weight and late social to be given by the Good Tenn plars in the Osborn schoolh0use Friday night It is understood there will be a fine lot of Phoenix girls on the market at that tune ana llldl d huiiipOi Ol Phoenix buyers expect to attend the sale But while the buyers will get all they pay for in the matter of weight they will have to take some chance on securing a bargain in other ways, but not great deal for all Arizona girls are worth more than they cost. ne plan is for each girl to have a lunch basket with her name in it. and also put her name in a. blank envelope and seal it up. The prospective purchaser selects his envelope. learns his late. settles with the cashier and then retlres to corner of the room with hls pur- chase and her basket, where the lunch and other things are discussed. It is rumored that some of the girls will try by the means of an attractive basket to follow up the short option by an ex- tension of time and possibly the later passing of titles.
