GREAT MINING PROJECT
Anita Copper Co. Will Sink Three
 Compartment Shaft 250O Feet

w. H. Hill, one of the best known mining men in Arizona, will leave tomorrow for the property of the Anita Copper company, which IS north of Williams, on the Grand Canyon railroad, taking twelve or fifteen of the best miners in the county. The men will be put to work as soon as they arrive. The company contemplates developing the Anita until entirely satisfied that they have one of the great copper producers of the southwest.
 MT. Hill, who, by the way, has installed more mining machinery than any other man in Arizona, has just completed equipping the Anita with a full complement of mining machinery of the most mod ern make. He put in Fairbanks Morse second motion steam hoist of 100 horse power; six drill air compressor, with all appliances; a forty inch vacuum blower. with auxiliary engines; a 250-light cleo tric plant, and other machinery usually found in one of the most modern mining camps in the world.
 Work will begin immediately upon the return of Mir. Hill to the property on a three-campartment shaft, which will be sunk to depth of 25O0 feet as rapidly as the work can be accomplished. In order to make better time on the shaft four shifts of six hours each will be worked. None but the best of miners possible to secure will be hired. Some men are already at the mine.
 The Anita group of claims is said to be one of the best in the north ern part of Arizona. There is cop per ore right on the surface that will give good returns when snaalI ed.--Ehere-ara -thirtv-thre claims in the group.
 The Anita is owned by Boston capitalists, who also own valuable mineral holdings in Colorado and elsewhere. Roderick c. Woodruff is president and general manager The company has unlimited means and intends to go ahead for the next eighteen months without ex. pecting to get dollar back in re- turn for the money expended. The men at the helm believe they own one of the great mines of Arizona and are willing to spend their good money to ascertain the extent of the ore body. If the shaft, when at a depth of 2OOO feet and over, is still in pay ore, the owners of the property will begin to think that the mine is all right and beyond the prospect stage.
 Such nerve and determination has seldom been heard of in Ari zona mining. To sink shaft 25OO feet is no small undertaking, to say the least of it. It means the in vestment of thousands upon thou sands of dollars. The machinery that has been purchased and in- stalled has cost many thousands of dollars more. The Herald hopes that the Anita people will be as successful as their unlimited efforts 1eSarye e-praScotf Herald luna O1

TICKET-oF-LRAvR MEN.
mx-COnvicts in England Who Can Al. ford to Ride in Carriages to Re-
 port Their Whereabouts.

A Stratford (Eng.and) magistrate says he knows ticket-of-leave men who drive up to the police station in car- riaSes to report themselves, leaving the offices with smiling faces. The police. who should know, say they would like to see them.
 Most of these ex-convicts reporting their whereabouts to us come to the station wearing odd boots," said city police officer. They scarcely have ths money to pay for drink. much less cab, while carriage Is out of the question:
 While such cases may be uncommon. however, the fact remains that there are men who, leaving penal establish ment, return to enjoy ill-gotten wealth and to partake of the pleasures of idle ness, says the London Mail Three years ago business man who had suf- tered Imprisonment for serious charges of fraud drove up to a police station to report himself, leaving in a smart orougham outside his two well- dressed daughters, and wearing the tall hat and frock coat of responsibility. He asked Tor the superintendent in the arrest of manners, saying he had to see hlm on "a matter of private business" only the severe and gruff manager of the station sergeant, who recognized nm, brought him to realize his position.
 The man whom the Stratford magis- trate sent to jail for his failure to re- port himself every month said that he had been turned away from his work and lodgings on two occasions when it was discovered that he had to call at the police station periodically. He could scarcely have known that with the home secretary's permission ex- convlcts are allowed to report them- selves by letter.

Cntbird. Defeat BlaeHsaaks.

A writer in the Scientific American says: "I witnessed pair of catbirds making bold defense against a black snake bent on devouring the contents of their nest. At first the snake was in- clined to disregard the distressed birds as they fought to drive it away. but the blows of their wings and bills became 90 annoying that the thief had to seek refuge in flight. On reaching the roots of tree from which the river had washed the dirt the snake started to climb, only to be driven beneath them and then out to an old stump, under which the bafied and beaten reptile epok refuga."

AN ODD CASE.
This Man Learned to Spell Three Times and Can't Spell Now
 His Curious Story.

Think of man learning how to spell three times and then not being able to spell correctly" said an observant man who takes an interest in subjects of this sort, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat,' land you will have my case summed up exactly. am not what you would call a bad speller by any manner of means. But I stumble now and then. and stumble badly. Why Is 1t? It Is the simplest thing in the world. l grew up in the country, attended . country school, and my first spelling was under the rules of the old-time school teacher. learned how to spell on my feet. It is a curious fact that for long time could not spell the simplest words unless I stood up. Standing I could spell anything, and, in fact, was always the winner in the spelling bee
 No one could turn me down., as we used to say in the country. We'll, after this learned how to spell with my pen cil. All my spelling talent went into the pencil. My tongue forgot the art, and whether standing or sitting, could not spell a word unless it belonged to the simpler kind without using my pencil. Now began to use the typewriter, and consequently I had to learn how to spell again. Ask me how to spell word now and will have to go to the typewriter unless the word is very simple one. My tongue won't spell it and my pen- cil will refuse to write it. So I have learned to spell three times, and as iaid before l am not good speller yet"

IN MEMORY OF
 RAYMOND BOWEN

from a field of such blossoms where it is only one of ten thous- and, serving partly, in it's small way, to compose the great world of nature, it cannot be said that the tiny blossom is missed from it's place in the field; but when a creature of Gods own handiwork in whom He has centered a pur- pose, and whom He has endowed with life, takes flight from earth's field, there is an aching heart in the breast of more than one friend left behind.
 Every little blossom in the gar- den of childhood which has, in it's pure, sweet innocence, made friends wherever it was known, is loved and cared for when it's fragrance is among earthly things, and, when it has been plucked from it's little place by the hand of kind and ever wise Father, is loved and mourn ed the more.
 And a precious flower was plucked from a home in our midst when the innocent soul of little Raymond P. Bowen took flight to the God who gave it, leaving forever in the memory of his many friends the sweet for get-me-not" of unselfishness and true childish innocence of char acter. His devotion to his little baby sister, who had only been in his life for two short months, was a fitting example of his af- fectionate nature, and his child ish interest in the progress of his Sunday school was exempli- fled by his faithfulness in attend ance and interest in everything connected with the church.
 Possessed of that childish ti- midity admired everywhere, and not given to pleasure-seeking in the crowds, he sought the con- panionship of his little comrade, Walter Wallace, and for a num- Der of years the two had been in- separable.
 During his brief illness, the patient unselfishness of his na- ture was a balm to the broken hearts which lovingly tended him in his last hours, and when his gentle spirit had flown, the ten der thoughts still fingered. Thereis no hand so skilled, to pen Immortal life above, But there are hearts to feel the
 life
 Below on earth, and love; There is no mortal life below
 That knows the glory there, But there are hearts to feel the
 pain,
 And there are hearts to bear. The nearest ever mortal man
 Approached the Great White
 Throne,
 Was when he clasped a little
 hand,
 A dear child's hand alone. And when the loved one goes
 above,
 That hand is seen no more, The one fond glimpse too, disap-
 pears,
 And closed again, the door.

 WRITES HOME.

NOME. ALASKA. Aug. 15.

MID. q. w. AOIulOIo OCetA Cousin: I left Seattle on the Sd of June on the steamer Olympia. Became seasick before we reach ed Cape Flattery and was sick for about five days, but I had lots of company as there were many others in the same fix. It was amusing to see the sides of the steamer lined up with pas sengers who looked as though they were doing their best to get rid of all they had eaten for a week. l was about over with my seasickness when we went through the Unimac pass into Behring Sea, where the ship ran into the ice. The captain tried to break his way through, but gave up after knocking two holes in the bow, and for two days we drifted with the ice, being unable to turn a wheel. The ice was so high and thick it looked like cliffs of rock. It is a beautiful sight early in the morning when the sun is rising and the seals are playing about on the ice. We got close enough to throw coal at them, but did not kill any. We reached Nome on the eighteenth of June. It is a small place, made up almost entirely of small shacks, with very few good houses.
 There are many Esquimaux camped on the beach. They had a big dance a few nights ago. You would laugh to see some of their movements.
 went to Solomon and stayed there for two weeks, but 1t is a hard country to do much travel ing in, for you have to walk over creeks and mountains with your ped on your back. I got all the walking wanted in mine when l walked to Solomon. That is about thirty-five miles from here, and you have to cross over the top of Cape Nome. I went over to see an Indian burying place on the other side of the Cape. They are all buried up off the ground five or six feet, and all their personal belongings are put in the box and buried with them.
 l looked into one of the boxes and there was the Indians gun. his pipe, and many other articles that belonged to him in life. He was wrapped in a fine fur robe, and I think if he hadn't been there for too long a time I would have taken it away from him. 1 don't think he needed it, and he would have slept just as well without it. I am going to stay here until about the last of Sep- tember, but 1 don't want to wait for the last boat, as it gets so stormy in the fall that it is difi- cult to get out to the steamers. The water is too shallow for the big boats to come in shore.
 The winters up here are too long with nothing to do, and it is dark most of the time. In June and July the sun is only out of sight two hours out of the twenty four, but at this time of the year it begins to get dark about 10 D. m.
 This has been a very quiet summer here as the ground was frozen so deep and there has not been rain enough to thaw it out,  so the miners could not do much digging.
 I may come up into this coun- try next year, but it will not be at this place. I will go into the Tansraugh district, as it is a new camp, and a great many think it is going to be all right. Of
