A Proclamation.

The Hon. Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Nogales, Arizona. while voicing the sentiment of patriot ism and honoring the custom and traditions which mark july Fourth as a mile stone in our county's progress, and have declared the anniversary as the day when our patriotism may give voice those feelings of home and coun- try, which have made us first among all the nations of the world, and while we thoroughly belleve in the time honored custom of displays of fire works and all other signs of rejoicing on this, our natal day, we feel it i'm perative in this season of extreme and protracted drouth, and of scant water supply, to ask the cooperation of all patriotic citizens to the end that the explosion of fire works of all kinds be suppressed within the corporate limits of the town. We also especially re- quest the parents of children to aid in these measures for our general safe tv and welfare.

Monday Harry Barnett of Patago-
 mia, Santa Cruz county's first sheriff,
 was a business visitor in the city. Mir.
 Barnett is general manager of the Haypy Jack Mining Company, the
 pro perty of which are situated near Patagonia. For some time past the
 mines have been tied up on account of legal trouble among the stockholders,
 but it is rumored that arrangements
 are now being made whereby things
 will be settled to the satisfaction of
 all pa rites concerned and the Happy
 Jack will again ne operated on more extensive scale than ever before. Much
 high grade ore has been shipped to the
 Fl Paso smelter. aIr. Barnett was accompanied by his eldest son, Master Fred, Il bright little chap who enjoyed his visit to the city
 Mir. s. F. Noon, clerk of the District, Court, has received letter from his brother. Edward E. Noon, superinten- dent of La Dicha Mining tS Smelling Co, of the estate of Guerrero. Mexico, owned by the Mitchell Mining Go. of New York Mir. Noon says the prop erty is an immense thing; that there is ore enough to keep a large reduction plant running for years. The work on the railroad from Acapulco to the mines is progressing rapidly, which will connect the mines with one of the best sea ports in the world, where smeltlng material and other freight can be landed at nominal cost. There is being installed at the mine two large hoists with cages, two air 1-.l and two batteries of large boilers which will soon be in operation; wood and timber is very plentiful on the com pany's land, where two rivers flow the year around.
 Prof. A. H Mcclure, the efficient superintendent of the Nogales city schools, left Thursday morning to at- tend the National Educational Asso- citation which convenes in St. Louis on June 18th for session of four days. After the adjournment of the N. E. A, the professor will spend ten days looking at the big fair, after which he will join his family in Kentucky where he will visit several weeks, returning to this city about the fifteenth of August to arrange for the opening of the schools the first Monday in Sep tember. The patrons of our city schools are justly proud of Superinten- dent Mcclure as the head of the educational work in this city. He is ever alert of the times and attends all the leading educational gatherings and participates enthusiastically Tn the proceedings of these meetings. This was shown by the Arizona Educa- tional Association at its meeting in Phoenix last December unanimously selecting him as secretary of the asso- citation for the present year. Arizona has no better school man than Professor M cClure and we wish him a most en- ioyable vacation.

The mule-he is a gentle beast;

And so is man.
Like man he may be taught some tricks
He does his work from 8 to 6;
The mule-when he gets mad he kicks
And SO does man.
The mule-he has a load to pull;
And SC has man.
He's happiest when he's full:
And SO is man.
Like man, he holds a patient poise.
And when his works done will rejoice.
The mule-he likes to hear his voice.
And so does man.
The mule-he has his faults, It's true:
And so has man.

And SO does man
Like man, he doesn't yearn for style.
But wants contentment all the while.

And so has man.

And so is man.
