Confident words, these, but they e1-

partly this assurance concerning his
own powers that has brought Myn'
heer Joe safely through numerous
deadly perils in the past.
Fear will never paralyze his arm
when face to face with danger. nor
can an antagonist expect to reap any
benefit from such source.
By this time they see that Sandy
was not far out Of the way when he
marked this point as the scene Of their

at a rock that seems especially adapt

CHAPTER XIV.
A LITTLE AErA1R AMONG THE MoKKArAs

HILLS.
No one can reasonably offer any OBJ
lection to the selection of the ground,
since it is level enough for all prac-
teal purposes, and certainly so iso-
lated that there does not seem to be
any danger Of interruption. The as
sociation with the strange tombs hewn
in solid rock ages ago, by the Egypt
!ans. might make some men nervous,
but it does not appear to have any
such effect upon either Of the two who
have met here to face each other in
combat for honor.
Mr.. Grimes, in company with the
French officer, goes over the ground
step by step and announces that he Is
perfectly satisfied with the location
chosen. 1t certainly cannot be inn
proved upon, and might not be equaled,
SO they are well content as 1t is.
Now for the weapons" says the
American, whose businesS-like meth
DDS cause the other to suppose he
has figured in duels before.
The French officer has heard Of des-
perate affrays happening in the South
and the West. How IS he to know
that the participato-s in these scrim-
images are, rs general thing, the
very lowest scum of society, and that
Southern gentlemen. as rule, have
given up their former allegiance to
the code as q settler for all difficult
ties?
Picking up the package, he unrolls
it. Within, wrapped in chamois skin,
lie two handsomely made swords, OF
delicate but magnificent appearance.
These he draws from their separate
scabbards and holds toward the Amer.
ican.
Select which one you please" he
says, quietly.
=, Mr.. Grimes crooks his finger, and
when Joe, who is watching, sees this.
he comes at once to the side Of his
friend.
TRY these blades" says his second.
curtly.
The explorer takes one up. and
makes a few movements with 1t.
Careful, the baron's looking at
:you," whispers his mentor just then,
and Joe sweeps the air no more with
the blade.
He bends it double over his knee,
allowing it to fly back again. Then

Its PAGES. Mynheer Joe's face Is a
study, for he finds it a pleasure to
handle such weapons as these.
"How does monsieur find them? ~

Smelling In Mexico.

The number of smelling works in
Mexico is increasing notably. In adj
dition to the immense smelters at
Aguascalientes, Monterey and San
Luis Potosi, new works are being built
in Guaymas, Avino, Tepeyanualco,
Viezca and Saltillo, each of which will
cost over 100000, and will be finished
and ready to begin smelling in Jana-
ary 1908, excepting the Avino works.
These four smelters will reduce a daily
minimum of six hundred tons of ores,
with capacity to increase up to doubl e
that tonnage, if the ores are at hand.
Besides the foregoing, it is proposed to
build smelling works in San Luis Po-
tosi, Matchuala and vorious points in
Jalisco, chihuahua and Durango. The
erection of an immense smelter in
Monterey in connection with the great
foundry has already commenced, and
it is to cost s5OO,OOO. And to all
these must be added the big smelter
about to be built by the Yaqui Smelt-
ing and Refining Company in the
Ures district. Sorora.-Tucson Post

Prof. RedeWiIl Says the Sanitary con-
ditionS are Better Than In Arizona
Towns.

Prof. A. Redewill, the Phoenix
piano man, was in Bisbee several days
ago and said to Review reporter:
81 have just returned from trip
through Sonora, and am here to say
the reports of plague at Guaymas are
not founded on facts.
"At Guaymas the authorities arc
enforcing sanitary regulations SO strict
as to almost impose burden on the
people. They are keeping the city
cleaner than it was ever kept before,
and what is more, much cleaner than
several cities in Arizona.
"To get outside of the quarantine
line that has been established around
the state of Sinaloa. any person fleeing
his way through line of soldiers, who
are guarding every avenue of escape
If he got through that there would be
several hundred miles of desert to
cross. cat Hermosillo the regulations
are no less severe. L spent about five
days there, and during that time there
was no sign of the bubonic plague in
the city. The officials are on the
lookout for suspicious cases, and if one
should appear will have it quarantined
before there is any chance for spread
of the plague.
''There is no doubt of danger exist
ing all along the Mexican coast but
the government and state officials are
equal to cope with it. They realize
the great danger, and are taking prop
er steps to guard against its spread
ing.
"The way the matter stands now it
is practically impossible for the plague
to spread into Sonora. Unless the
officials relax in their efforts to keep
it out. The plague could exist at
Mazatlan for years and yet never reach
over into Sonora"
Mr.. Redewill says that the Mexican
officials of Sonora feel keenly the re-
ports that have been sent to news
papers in this country claiming that
the plague has infected such places
as Guaymas and Hermosillo.

Governor Brodie.

Governor Brodies seems to be a
very good democract after all. In fact
it looks as if he had mistaken the
democratic platform for the repubii-
can platform. The mining tax, the
primary election law and many of the
other recommendations made 10y the
governor were planks in the demo-
cratic platform and the party stands
pledged to their enactment. In short,
there is non-partisanism about Gov
ernor Brodie's message that is truly
refreshing, and while The Enterprise
differs with him on many things, and
some of his recommendations, his en-
tire message sho ws that he wants to
do what is best for the territory, and
is willing to drop political Offences
in order that good may result.
The Enterprise doubts not that the
legislators will meet him on even
ground, and between the two powers
the people will get some wholesome
and equitable gislation.-Phoenix

Benson Reform School.

The territory reform school at Benson
is practically finished as far as the
first appropriation is concerned. The
building is credit, to Arizona and an
enduring monument to the energy of
Assem5lyman Stepl en- Roemer, of
Cochise county, to whose efforts it was
secured and located at Benson.
This session of the territorial legis-
lature will be asked to appropriate suf-
ficient funds to thoroughly equip the
new school with suitable furniture and
an efficient corps of instructors.
AS soon as the new appropriation
has been secured the school will be
finished and ready for the instruction
of the incorrigible youth of Arizona
will be trained in various industrial
occupations and Al endeavor made to
make substa atial citizens of them.-

New Mexico does not claimed to be
q land flowing with milk and honey,
but it does claim to be a fruit country,
and here is little item from the Santa
Fe New Mexican which does some
thing to support the claim: During
the fall of 1902 l3O cars of very fine
apples were shipped to Chicago from
the $50 acre orchard of j. J. Hager-
man, located at Roswell. Today lie

stated that he expected that work

carloads of rails had already been re-

at La Junta, but the Santa Fe com
pany expect to be able to move it to
Deming during the coming week. The
company has abandoned the idea of
taking up the rails on Douglas hill and
will use the rails on this branch. In
conclusion Mr. Choate said.
sWe are very anxious to get the
Tombstone branch completed and
when sufficient rails have arrived to
justify putting crew to work, we
will do so and the work will be crowd

A FEW FACTS ABOUT
 THE EUREKA.

The Missouri mans motto never fails. You are never sure of any thing. especially in mining circles. till you see it. Parties recently represent ed that the Eureka Mining company was negotiating with the Mexican government for the privilege of build . ing and using a wagon road from their properties in to Naco We were very much in hopes that this was true. since it would throw considerable trade to our little sister ol the inter national bundary. but standing on top of the Huachucas, and contemplating the situation of the ETeka camp along with the lay of the surrounding coun- try, you a. once discover that the scheme is entirely impracticable for all time to come. The Eureka is sit uated in the foot hills on the western slope of the Huachucas. It now in cludes the celebrated Salvation Army mine. which proved a nice dividender under misdirected. rough and tumble operations. On the original Eureka is a 1e0 foot shaft, showing good ore all the way down, and toward the last. showing a little too much water for the convenience of miners. The prop erty has five tunnels. being 764. 400, 300. 200. and 100 feet in length re- spectively, besides many smaller tun- nels and open cuts. This system of tunnels is driven one over the other in the order of their length. The rich. est individual properties are the Eureka. the Glance and the Salvation Army. The Glance has produced some rare copper ore. the Eureka ore runs very high in silver, being richer in the bottom than anywhere else. One shipment of considerable proportions ran 80 per cent in copper and 900 ounces in silver.
 The camp is accommodated by a good road 10 Crittenden, 20 miles dis tant, being their nearest railroad point The Eureka is about six miles north. west of the Huachuca Consolidated de velopment Co.'s property and is cer- tainly a meritorious property.

THE BIG MINING SUIT
 AND ITS RESULTS.

The case of Shattuck Marks, ct al against Martin Costello, has been dis posed of in favor of the former parties. It was an action to quiet title to valuable mining property situated con- tinguous to the Calumet and Arizona in the Warren district. The Review has no comment to make on the merits of the respective contentious in the case, as courts and not newspapers are organized and maint aimed to look after those details. Every time a suit is settled, however, it rebounds to the benefit of the community. and es- pecially in a case of this character, it opens up the way for active opera tions and adds that much to the pros perity of the district. Bisbee is there fore to be congratulated on the fact that the matter is settled There are those who claim, of course, that the matter will be carried to the higher courts and struggle along indefinitely but the fact remains, that when a case is disposed of in any district court in Arizona, it practically sets the matter at rest. since the supreme court which has sometimes been irreverently dub bed the supreme court of afirmance,
 
 ment or decree ogtain in the dis posed of the different district judges throughout the territ ory. and they are very naturally disinclined to reverse each other. The only way the case above referred to can be revived with any possible chance of success would be to lug it into the United States courts. which is very improbable.
 
 ty of the disputed property have been located since the late decision in Tombstone. demonstrating the faith local parties have in the permanent settlement of the matter.
 
 NOTHING SUCCEEDS

The way most people wait for somebody else to tie the pig before they vii lstick. it remarkable. In several places near the Easter Sunday there are just as fine surface prospects as that property ever enjoyed; many of the parties interested in the same locality have the means to prosecute the developmnt of their claims. and why they do not strike for themselves and strike hard and deep is dificult to understand. The same proposition applies to the Modera. which, wbilc We have not been taken into the conf fence of the management, has not 1T our opinion, been shut down for ar absence of mineral in sight Incident ally. several private parties ownins stock in the Copper Glance are hold ing it clear above their heads, thu! compelling the conclusion that some thing unusually encouraging has beer encountered in that promising prop erty.
