VICISSITUDES OF MINING
During Early Days When the
 Apaches Held Sway.

There is little doubt but the pros- pectors who originally put down the old shaft found by J. G. Kep- pier, on Eagle creek last week, were driven from the place by Indians about twenty years ago, when the redskins made big raid through the Morenci-C Clifton district, killing and plundering right and left.
 After leaving their reservation, the Morenci gold belt on Eagle creek was the first place struck by the Indians. The first killing known of was that of Captain Tinkard. The latter had nearly lost his eye sight as the result of powder ex ploding prematurely while he was loading hole. He was lying on his bed in an old stone cabin when Indians slipped up to window and shot him.
 A little further up Gold gulch two men were sinking a shaft and were down about 40 feet. The man on top was killed. His partner dropped in the bottom of the shaft and pulled an ore bucket over him self. The Indians failed to see what was under the bucket and passed on. Though the ruse saved the miners life, he never recovered from the fright he had experienced and the struggle he found necessa- ry to get out of the shaft. He af- forwards became insane. The size of the band of Indians on this raid was sufficient to clean up the dis trict thoroughly. Prospectors, team sters, Mexicans, women and cLild- ren were killed without distinction. -Morenci Standard.

Florence Crittenden Home.

The following letter has been sent out by the secretary of the above institution, located at Phoe- nix:
 Perhaps you are not aware that there is Florence Crittenden Home for the rescue of unfortunate girls in our territory.
 The Home has been built and open for the past six years and has been the means of doing a great good to many girls who have en- tered it's doors.
 The Home has been kept up by the voluntary subscriptions and donations of good citizens and char itable people of all classes and de- nominations.
 The Home is not place of de tention. nor are girls sentenced there by any court, but they enter of their own free will. Neither is it place known as ''private hos pitaP' for the purpose of aiding un- fortunate girls to hide their shame, although we accept them for the purpose of doing them good and giving them a chance to again en- ter the world as good citizens.
 The Home is not alone for the class above designated, but is open to women and girls who are tenn porarily unable tc earn a support.
 Should cases which can be helped by the Home be known to you, we shall be glad to correspond with you or with them concerning their entrance.

In Northern Arizona.

This office enjoyed a pleasant call from c. E. Boyce of Williams and Col. w. s. Head of Camp Verde on Wednesday afternoon. These worthy gentlemen, while gentle men of leisure, are both interested in the livestock affairs of Arizona and just dropped in to talk matters over.
 Mir. Boyce was formerly in the mercantile business in Williams, but has now given that up, and is in Phoenix for the remainder of the winter. He has been interested in cattle for quarter of a century, and still holds his interests in the northern part of the territory.

There is one member of the present

the only man who overindulges during

lounged back in his seat, bleary-

things


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10
Speaker Cannon never loses an OPP
portunity to enliven the proceedings
of the house. He has d happy faculty
of looking upon the bright side of
things, and Of being able to adroitly
inject little humor in legislative pro-
ceedings when it will do no harm. A
few days ago the house was considering
senate amendment to the military
appropriation bill. A motion had been
made by the chairman of the commit
tee to nOn-cOncur in the senate amend
ment, and the republicans were all in
sympathy with the chairman, while the
democrats naturally lined up in oppo-
sition. There was no general interest
in this amendment, and members as
stunned that the house would follow the
chairman, so, when the speaker put
the question, directing those in favor
of rejecting the amendment to say
aye the chairman alone responded,
but when he put the other side, the
democrats united in Il strong and bOis-
ferrous no" This, of course, was con-
trary to the sentiment of the house.
and in announcing the vote the speaker
said:
The noes appear to have it; at least
they make the most noise
When the laughter subsidized. rising
vote was demanded, when the republic
cans easily mustered a majority.
