students to all attack one man. l have
no complaint to make of innocent fun.

as practiced by college students, is wrong

 Ever since mining has been in vogue and that has been since the earliest man walked the earth, there have been many sensational finds. and many sur prises sprung upon Ae people. Now comes the sensation tAe day in Prescott-rich ore found e. Ae very entrance to the courthouse in | escott.
 While digging a hole at the north west corner of the court house a man under the direction of the gardener, J. August Kusche, encountered hard ground and thought it was hardpan. Digging into the supposed layer of ce- ment he brought to light some large pieces of ore literally filled with bright red particles. He called the attention of the gardener and the two of them examined the ore, thinking pos
 
 The other day J. T. Pendegast, a thorough mining man, accidentally no- ticed one of the pieces of the ore. and pronounced it native copper. Pende- gast, who is a staunch friend of the Herald, came to the office and notified us of the find. We accompanied him to the spot and saw numerous pieces of the ore. IL was certainly full of na- tive copper
 A piece of ore was taken to Assayer Hetherington, who assayed it in very short time, and found it to contain ten per cent copper The ore is similar to that found in the Jerome country, only much softer. It is a black slate. of the variety that generally cases a big vein of copper sulphides. Considering that the ore was encountered barely four feet under the surface. the ground should be prospected at once.
 The supervisors should have pros pecting hole sunk on the spot by the men in the~jail, and the value of the deposit ascertained.

 Naco, Feb. 25.-A most successful and enjoyable dance was given by the Nsco Dance club at the opera house Thursday. A number of guests from Bisbee were present. These popular events will be on the program each week.
 A number of the mining companies around Bisbee have in contemplation the building or smelters at Naco. this point being the logical site for snnel- ters. Several parties from these mines have been over the ground below town where the water supply is known to be inexhaustible.
 Our local lumber merchants are placing branch yards al South Bisbee. The facilities for the shipment of lum- Der from this part of Bisbee are being improved.
 A thorough overhauling of the pump and machinery at the waterworks has been effected and the supply of water is now to be depended upon in euan- tity and quality.
 Max Gavito, the Mexican vice con sui, was a visitor ins Naco last Satur- day. Mr. Gavito is interested in some valuable claims near here and is talk ing steps to secure their thorough ex- ploitation.
 The survey outfit of the E. P. & S.. W. is camped on the Heyne ranch, one mile east of town. They are said to be surveying for the new line from Forest through Naco towards Tucson.
 Miss Jennie Jordan will give an en- tertainment next Monday night al the Madding, consisting of humorous read ings and recitations. This remarkable elocutionist is now famous throughout the states.
 There will be a grading outfit at work in two weeks between here and Forest on the through line of the Fl Paso and Southwestern. It is reported that the we'll known contractor. R. Toohey, has the work in hand.
 New York capitalists are endeavor- ing to secure the claims owned by Foote Parker and Crockett immediate ly adjoining the property acquired by the Michigan Development and Min ing company
 Mir. Burnham, one of the oldest min ing men of this section, is in from the Huachucas visiting our city. He re- ports mining operations as very active in that region.
 The streets of Naco were crowded Sunday with sightseers from Douglas and Bisbee. The football game was the scene of much enthusiasm and the bull ring afforded to several thousand that excitement incident to the repro duction of the Roman amphitethatre. Romulus was great, but was in immi nent danger, being knocked down by the bull he was strangiing and being ltrampled under foot by the infuriated animal. a
