The costlier furs are sable, ermine.
mink, broad tail, lynx, silver fox and
brown marten. And when buying these
furs you can pay any price you please.
There is no limit to the sum you can
srend
In the striped furs, such as Bengal
tiger, you can spend round sums. but
these novelty furs are more for people
who have variety to wear rather than
just one coat.
While fur coat is a fur coat and
you can't put il entirely out of fashion,
still il is a fact and a sad one that the
styles in furs have changed very de-
cidedly during the past season. A
standard little fur jacket is always in
good taste, but, when it comes to alb
solute smartness, there are other
things to be considered. The plain.
neat little fur coat, shaped like blazer
coat, but buttoned down the front
tightly, from chin to belt. will always
be in style, but one looks for something
more elaborate in furs this season.
A very smart New York girl ap-
peared at the matinee the other day in
a coat made of baby calf skin. 1t was
cut blouse and was absolutely untrim-
med. 1t swung open at the throat and
was buttoned uD all the way TO the
belt, where it was fastened tightly
under q clasp. OF course the open
throat revealed very smart shirt
waist with a handsome lace openwork
collar.
Baby calf skin is a fur that is worn
a great deal. It is very fashionable

own no one knows. 1t is, as its name
suggests. made of calf skin with the
markings of the calf all showing. They
are brown and white and red with the
colors occurring abruptly on spots. The
spotted red calf is never thing of
artistic beauty. But. made into a coat.
his calfship becomes quite handsome
creature.
Another novelty is a deerskin coat
This is a rough coat almost shaggy in
its texture. 1t reminds you a little of
the buffalo robes. Deerskin is shorter
than buffalo and softer. And it can be
made up very smartly into the soft
loose kimono shaped fur coats that are
so much worn this season.
Many Notable Features.
There are several features to be noted
in the new fur coats. And the first is
their shape. They are kimono shaDed
blouse shaped. tight-fitting and three
quarters. They are cut loose like
little English jacket and are to the
hips: and they are cut long like an
automobile coat In any shape they
are very smart. for they are cut on
new fashionable lines, with long
shaping shoulders and very full sleeves
And speaking of the sleeves one must
note how varied they are and how be-
coming. There is really scarcely any
limit to their variety and one is de-
lighted to note that, in spite of the
fact that all are different all are be-
coming TO the arm.

ttfF you had $4,000 to spare would
you spend it on sable muf
and boa?''
That is the question which the
feminine world is asking. and is an
swered by shake OF the head
Not unless ] had Mr.. Rockefeller s
millions" is the reply. And even then
could spend $4,000 on dress to better
advantage" decided a woman whose
taste in dress has placed her well in the
front ranks OF elegantly gowned women.
Yet $1,000 is no unusual sum among
women OF vast wealth who can afford
10 spend money on furs. A sable set at
this price viii wear forever, and be just
as good for the next generation as this.
The boa should be wide and fat and
long; ard the muff should be very
large. cut round and slightly fattened.
1t should be lined with white satin or
with ermine fur. The boa can also be
lined with ermine.
A set Of this kind is as carefully
cared for as a baby. 1t is looked after
al the year around and is regarded as
q family treasure. Like lace and jew
els, il is an investment. Rich furs are
put with the furrier in summer; they
are insured against fire and burglary,
and they are taken out once a month
and carefully searched for insects. In
the fall they are brought out, reno
waited and remodeled.
It costs about $40 a season to keep a
handsome set of furs in repair to store
them and TO renew their dye and their
freshness, and if to this is added the
cost Of remodeling them. season by
season, the price will be $50 more
But for a woman with money a good
set OF furs is an excellent investment.
One is sure Of being always elegantly
dressed, and almost any gown can be
made 10 look nice.
Ermine comes in the thousands for a
fur necklace and a handsome mum;
and there are certain kinds of ermine
that cannot be bought at any price
And sable can be got at prices ranging
so far upward that one would have TO

Yet the best furs pay in the long run,
for they can be worn forever And,
since furs never go out of style, and
never wear out, il pays one to buy the
very best one can afford
Still, the woman who is dressing well

furs that look very much like Persian

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
A sisbee Man Severely Wounded on
 Duck Hunt.

When the train arrived from Fl Pasn last evening one of the passengers was Tony Downs of this city, who was as sisted from the train to the doctors office, where his wounded arm waS dressed at the Copper Queen Dispen- sary says the BLspee Review.
 The accident which will confine MT. Downs to his room for several days occurred about eight miles from a li:- tie settlement across the line in Sonora called Palomas and about 1S0 mile east of Bisbee Mir. Downs was a mem Der of the hunting party consisting o Messrs. Downs, Weaver. Downs, Shimp Ralston, Hoffmeyer, and Fuqua which left this city about a week ago on q duck hunting expedition on the Palo- mas lake. On Friday afternoon Downs and Weaver were hunting together about eight miles from the camp. in a marsh. They had been standing in one spot for some time and had started to move forward when the accident occurred. Downs picked up his double barreled gun and threw it across his right arm. As he did so the gun was discharged The charge entered his forearm. struck the arm again in the muscles above the elbow. passed out and through the brim of his

THE NEW ARMY CHIEF.

T am ordered to go to the relief of the United States Legation at Pekin. I leave with my troops for that city at once. If the allied troops do not move, I will go alone with my United States soldiers"
 So said General Adna R. Chaffee the new chief of staff of the regular army, when Russia. France and Germany were squabbling at Tientsin over ques- tions of precedence. General Chaffte made a speech to the other command CTS. It was brief ana brusque. and t carried the day. The allied column moved on to pekin ina rush rather than march. A few months later, Chaffete wrote a note to Won Waldersee, nom inai commader of the allies, protesting against German footing of the histori- cal astronomical instruments made b" Jesuit priests for the Chinese emperor centuries ago. Won Waldersee was ruffied and replied that Chaffee would better mind his own business. The American general was backed up by his own government. and the incident failed to disturb him.
 General Wilson was sent to China to play the diplomat. It was feared that the hard-bitted fighting man WOul1 De uneQudl 10 tne cOInpieN sH- uation Chaffee handled his relations with the allies with remarkable tact and ability.

WORK ON SIXTY CLAIMS

 tensive Developments.

Dr. O. l.. Greer left today for the west to receive the assessment work that has been done for himself and his compan- ies and friends this season says the News Herald of Saturday. He has had the annual work done on sixty claims ns follows: Four belonging to the Har- qua Hala Mining and Milling Company, twenty-six claims of the Arizona Gold Company, twenty eight chains belong ing to himself and eastern friends. and two belonging 10 A. l., Stetson. of Los Angeles, and others.
 Most of the properties lie to the west of Martinez. The total cost of the work must not be less than S6000. This is not a big sum but if these properties pan out as well as a great many of them indicate it will be expended on them in the way of development and equipment. and it is more than likely that the present trip of the doctor tn inspect the work may mean that he will recommend to some of his eastern can

Weaves, his companion, was standing alongside of Downs at the time. and the report and smoke dazed him for a moment. Downs staggered off about ten feet and would have fallen had Weaver not have caught him. Weaver immediately cut away the coat and shirt and knotted q handkerchief above the wound which by this time was bleeding profusely. It was three miles from the spot where the accident occurred to Bailey's ranch in New Mexico but with the assistance of Weaver Downs managed to walk the distance. From this ranch they travelled in a wagon to Colombus sta ton on the line of the E. P. & s. w, and a special engine was wired for. There was nothing on the line at the time but upon the arrival of train No 2 in Fl Paso, Supt. Simmons sent the engine and one car back to Columbus Station, a distance of seventy miles, and the wounded man was brought into Fl Paso about 8 o'clock last even- ing He was taken to Providence hos pital, where his wounds received first attention and he was able 10 return to his home in this city last night.
 When Weaver and Downs failed to return to the hunting camp on Friday night searching party was organized and were securing the lakes in search of their lost companions, when Weaver returned to the party from Columbus Station and informed them what had happened.

THE GRIP OF "OlD-
 WINTER.

The coldest week in thirty years cripples traffic and causes suffering and death in many states.
 The weather has been a more impor tant news topic to the United States than the eastern crisis. A week of Arctic winter swept across the coun- try, with fury almost unprecedented for severity of cold along the Atlantic seaboard. Temperatures of from twenty to forty degrees below zero were reported from Minnesota to Maine. A heavy snow fall, unusual with such bitter cold, caused much ad- ded suffering and inconvenience. Rail- road schedules were thrown hopelessly askew in the east, caught unready for such extremity of weather. Engines could not make steam, switches were clogged and frozen. Large systems, like the New York. New Haven & Hartford between New York and Bos- ton, confesses themselves beaten and abandoned regular schedules. Trains were ten hours late in a six x-hour run. Four railroad wrecks in one day were caused by the binding storm and fail ure of signal systems. The New York Fire Department was worn out, re- spending to sixty-three alarms in one day, mostly due to overloaded stoves and chimneys. The weather records show no such continual severity in thirty years. The west. better prepared for tumbling temperatures, was not sn seriously disconnected. But the first week of January, 1904, will be long re- membered in the Atlantic states as |, paralyZing shock to traffic and indus try. More than forty deaths by freez- ing were reported. but the immense suffering of last winter was prevente by the plentiful supply and compara- lively reasonable cost of coal. Such "cold wave" as this during the great coal strike would have left a ghastly trail of death and suffering in eastern cities wholly dependent on anthracite for keeping warm.-Colliers Weekly.

known as "Trip" Harrison was ill ill the hospital but as soon as word reached him that the campaign was opened he rejoined his regiment-the Thirty-firs Georgia, part of Gordon's brigade. The day he returned he ask ed some men of his company how they liked their new general"
 You, ought to see him ride a horse. '' said one. He sits his mount like a veteran cavalry general. Why 'Jeh' Stuart himself can't beat him riding"
 And then others said: Hes one Of the handsomest men l ever saw; his face Is glorious"
 And then another said: He has the greatest voice ever heard. Why Cap tain he took the whole brigade out and drilled us one day, and every man in the whole line could hear him call out, Forward The word went booming across the country like a cannon shot"
 And then another said: Hes got Il big, warm, tender heart in his breast"
 And then still another said: By, the man that won't follow Gordon won't fight at all. He's the finest lead CT that ever ordered a charge"
 When General Gordon first rode into the lines of the brigade that later took his name he saw two men astride a wooden pole. while a guard paced up and down near by.
 What are those men on that pole for?" demanded the general.
 Someon told him the pair were cul prits, court -martialed for shooting ammunition at squirrels in camp and now being punished for this infraction of commands. The general waited to hear no more but sat down and wrote an order to the colonel to release them both at once. That was the very first order John B. Gordon wrote as brigadier general and the story spread ing through the brigade like wild-fir= made him an idol from that momert on.

GOLD CULVER SHELTER.
Site for New Reduction Enterprise Has
 Been Selected.

The installation of a large custom reduction plant in this valley is no longer a question of doubt says the Florence Blade. The site for such a plant was selected and purchased this week by MT. w. s. Fletcher a promi- nent citizen of Pasadena, Cal. The necessary machinery has been con- tracted for and as soon as it can be completed and delivered on the ground the work of assembling it will be be- gun. The Phoenix X Eastern track is now within three miles of the smelter site and will have reached the latter by the time the machinery is ready for delivery.
 The primary purpose of the plant of course is to treat the ores of the Gold en Culver group, of Mineral Hill dis trict, this county, and a large group situated in Mohave county, both of which are owned by MT. Fletcher But the initial plant will have sufficient capacity to handle condition ore in ad- dition to the output of the Fletcher mines, and when the custom business increases beyond the capacity of the initial plant the latter will be enlarged sufficiently to meet the demands of the business.
 A concentrating pldlil' Suppitllchteh by a cyanide plant to treat the tailmgs from the tables, will be installed at the gold mines in Mohave county and the concentrates will be shipped to the shelter at this place for treatment.
 The smelting department of the in- itial plant here will have 100 tons cap hcity for 24 hours. The machinery will all be of the most modern up-to- date patterns. An ideal site has been select ed within 200 yards of the Phoenix & Eastern railroad and q spur will be ex- tended from the latter up to the Golden Culver group. distant four and a half or five miles. At the end of this spur working tunnel will be driven in, in the center of the Golden Culver group, to cut the main vein at depth of 500 feet. MT. Fletcher and his engineer spent several days at Mineral Hill th,s week looking over the ground with de- termining the best location for the working tunnel and formulating work ing plans for the mines.
 At the smelter neat buildings will be erected for the accommodation of the working force and for business and of flee purposes. A large oil plant will be erected on top of the hill and from this oil will be piped into all the build ings for fuel purposes. An electric light plant will be installed and other mod ern conyenienees that will make the place strictly up-to-date.

But the waves of patriotic enthusiasm swept even to these mountain fast nesses and the depths of the gloomy mines. swept there and carried Cor don with them.
 The mountaineers in the country round the mines took rifles in their sinewy hands and formed a company. selected the dark haired. handsome John B.

Months went by and Captain Gordon, for bravery and other soldierly qualities, became Mai or Gordon and then Colonel of the regiment.
