The elevation increases from
Phoenix to Congress Junction, from

only 2O67 feet. And, as for health
resorts, the plateau country could
never be beaten. The elevation not
being extreme, and the temperature
being so very equable, as we'll as
the dryness of the atmosphere,
make it desirable place for those

Fell Down a Shaft

Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. Cloud came
in from Kirkland Saturday morn
ing last with their five-year-old son
Alwyn, who had, on the previous
afternoon, while at play with his
brother, fallen to the bottom of 60
foot shaft on the Farwell property.
The old shaft was covered, but a
board broke as the boy started to
cross the shaft. The other brother
called the father to the shaft, who
saw the boy sitting on the bottom
of the shaft. The boy was placed
in sack and drawn to the top.
The lad stood the pain of his injur-
les with heroic fortutide for one of
his years. His parents brought
him to town and DR.. Day looked
after his injuries, which proved to
be a slightly dislocated rib and a
slight injury to his left ankle bone.
There were large stones in the bot
tom of the shaft, and the boy fell
on the only exposed piece of ground
therein. His escape from death or
more serious injuries is certainly
very remarkable.-Courier.

w. b.. Baker has been dismissed
for refusing to spell routing "

clerk of the Chief Quartermaster
at Fort Sheridan. He acted the
fool. So did the General who fired
him. But perhaps the public is as
much fool as either, for not half

proper spelling in his head.
A new freight tariff schedule
went into effect today on the S. F.,
P. & P. Railroad, by which there is
quite a reduction on the local
freight rates between points on the
road for short distances. In some
cases the reduction amounts to
nearly 80 per cent. This is partic-
ularly the case in carload lots
