It will be q handy reference book for them and is a neat appearing publication.

Something terrible will happen then sure.

 NEW MINING COMPANY-Tht. Glorioso Gold and Copper Mining Co. | is the latest corporation of that sort to place it's prospectus before the people in these parts. It owns a groun of claims and the officers are L. J. Cnurt president; J. M. Langston. vice presi- dent; J. $. Bruehlman, secretary; J. H. McClinock, treasurer. Its prospectus is written in a vein that at least has the merit of candor and is very large | ly after the manner of the prospector. | Following is a sample; This company offers no underwritten yellow leggin coupons, or peach-blow cromoes, just 1 simply the fair division among it's shareholders of the "Januine Yallar Truck" that will be taken out of the ground, and this company's property will gain no more renown by proclaim 1 ing it's mining ground extensions 70 any of the already great bullion pro- ducers of Arizona, as the company's $ mining ground stands alone; the first plck, the best choice, the prior Ioca- ton and the bonanza of the district in which it is situated. And there is no visible surface connection with any of the foremost advertised mines of the southwest. except the vast expanse of mother earth.
 PROBABLY NOT DEAD-There are two very good reasons for believing that Bernhard WandelI, the elderly man who annouced his forthcoming s,i- icide. is not dead. Rather that he did not cie at the appointed time and place
 The first is that his body has not yet been found, and the second is that man answering his description was seen Sunday morning about the time of the delivery of the letter announc- ing his death. The letter. as will be remembered, was dated last Sunday, and presumably had the writer not changed his mind the tragic deed would have been committed before it's possible delivery. On Sunday morning residents along the Tempe road in the cast part of town saw man who they say answers very fully the pub lished description of Wan1ell, explor- ing their back yards and picking up old cans and pots, such as an overland traveller might find convenient in d trin to the hills or across country. It is therefore thought that he set out for other parts on foot, determined to make another effort before seeking the so- lace of death. if that sort of death may be called solace.

A SOnNAnBULIST ENGINE
A Locomotive Walked Around in Its
 Sleep With Damaging Results.

Edward Phister, in charge of the oil pump for the Santa Fe, Prescott &, Phoenix railroad was injured night be- fore last in a most extraordinary man. ner. The cause of his woe was a som naml5ulistic locomotive. Ut had been put to bed for the night but got up in it's sleep and wandered along the track in the round house, at Fifteenth avenue and Harrison street, pushed Phister around and finally pushed an end out of the building.
 It had been the practice of Phiste- to sleep in tce back part of the round house. It fad also been his practice to put his cot across a track, safe enough procedure except in the i'm probable event of just such a thing as happened.
 Phister- went to sleep a little before nine o'clock. Soon after that an engine whose days work was done was brought into the round house and the lever instead of being left on the cen- ter was left on what is called the back motion. There was a little steam up but not enough in ordinary circum- stances to have done any damage. But this was an extraordinary circum- stance. Enough steam leaked out cf the throttle into the cylinder to set the machine into motion. The engine was backed against a passenger car behind which Phister's cot was and the car was backed slowly, gently but firmly against the cot.
 The cot was thus put at the head Of the backward procession which event uallV took the end ont Of the ro1lnd house. Phister was singularly not seriously injured. At any rate he was not crushed as he might have been eX-
Arizona republican., 1904-07-14

pected but he was badly cut by fall ing glass from window in the end Of the round house. The tendon of one of the fingers of the right hand was severed and he received another cut on the left leg. He was treated by Dr. Duffeld who joined the ends of the tendon and Phister' will undoubtedly again have the use of his finger.
 This is not nearly as serious an ac- cident as befell Phister once before. in the early nineties he was a Denvel & Rio Grande engineer out of Denver one night his engine was thrown from the track and he was pinned under it while his right leg was Burned off.

Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, Ottawa, East, Ont. Canada, writes:
 "Peruna is better by far than any other medicine sold in the Dominion for the troubles peculiar to the sex. I suf- fered with backache, headache and dragging down pains for over nine months, and nothing relieved me par ticle until took Peruna. A few bottles relieved me of my miserable half-dead, half-alive condition. I am now in good health and have neither ache or pain, nor have had any for the past year. If every suffering woman would take Peruna they would soon know its value and never be without it."-Mrs. Joseph Lacelle.
