Perry williams was bold enough to

ABOUT THE MAILS.-The Rock
Island Limited train east of Ell Paso
has been taken off for the season and
henceforth the mails that have been
coming via that route viii for the most
part arrive here via the Santa F'e in
the morning. The closest connection
ever made between Phonix and the
east was via that route. New York
papers issued Sunday morning, via
that route usually arrived on Thursday
morning and on one occasion they ar
rived here Wednesday. That was due
to a fortunate misfortune. Usually
there was Il little loss of time at FL
Paso in the connection between the
Southern Pacific and the Rock Island
limited. on the occasion in question
the Southern Pacific train that usually
left before the limited arrived, was de-
tanned till it did arrive and the trans
fer was made in a twinkling. The
$. p. train being late in Maricopa Il
special was run down via the NJ. & p.
TO connect with it so that the mail was
brought in Wednesday that ordinarily
would not have reached here till
Thursday morning. Speaking of keep
ing tab on the mails an exchange says:
The best way to keep track of mail is
by noting the daily papers. They are
always mailed at the same time of the
day, and are mailed every day, so they
make a perfect register of the time it
takes TO send mail and their nom
arrival tells of any delay the mail may
have encountered. Letters never are
mailed as regularly as papers, and a
delay of a few moments in mailing 4
letter may make it miss a connection.
Thus they are not as accurate a test Of
the regularity of the mail as is a daily
paper"

which purchased the railroad of which
Mr.. Porter is now general manager, as
a part of its line into Eureka, is build
ing constantly and the day is not far
distant when Eureka expects TO have
competing roads. Mr.. Porter, he re-
ports, is enjoying good health and the
business under his direction is rapidly
expanding.
The big business there at the present
time, and that which has interested
the railroads so greatly, is the lumber
business. Between. the two companies
100000 worth of timber has been
bought and lately timber land has gone
UP to 800 per acre. And it is well
worth it. says Mr.. Connick, who gives
as an illustration of what some of the
big trees are worth, his own experience
of having cut $4,000 worth of lumber
from a single tree. That tree was
twelve feet in diameter, inside the
bark, and gave a log measurement Of
240 linear feet. Eighty thousand feet.
of lumber was cut from it. The best
of it was worth SIS per thousand and
was shipped TO Europe.

attempt was made yesterday morning
to hold up Business Manager Charles
Arnold of the Gazette. Mr. Arnold
who had just left the office was at the
Hotel Adams a short time before start
ing to his home on North First avenue.
A suspicious character had been hang
ing about the front of the hotel for
some time and attracted the attention
of several persons. When Mr.. Arnold
started home he went down Adams
street to First avenue and then went
north along the avenue. In front of
the residence of d. Nicholson he saw
man standing in the shadow of a tree.
He was the man who had attracted at
tention in front of the hotel. Mr.
Arnold first noticed him when he was
within ten feet of him. He pulled his
revolver and held it on the man who
did not move a muscle or say a word
Mr. Arnold then walked around him
ana went on his way. The last he saw
of the man he was still standing under
the tree.
AN ART EXHIBiT.-The Horace *.
Turner art exhibit will be displayed in
Phoenix this week, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday for the benefit of the
schools of the city. The exhibit VIII
be at the First Baptist church. Tie
exhibit was at Tempe last week and
those who saw it speak of it in the
highest terms. The schools of the city
will buy $3.50 worth of pictures from
the proceeds. The exhibit has Travelled
all over the country the idea being to
give a further impetus to art in the
public schools. 1t has been highly
commended by the press everywhere.
OF the exhibit itself and the purpose,
the Detroit Free Press said: During
the week about $4,000 citizens and
school children have been in at
tendance at the exhibit of pictures.
The entire fund received through the
sale of tickets comes back into the
schools in the purchase of pictures ard
the philanthropic citizens could per-
petuate their good VIII and interest
in the education of children no better
than by helping this movement in
school room decoration which is en-

JOKE ON THE GoVERNM EMIT
II. r. Patrick, who plated the town
site of Los Muertos about 1000 years
agO is a very serious man. He seldom
plays a practical joke or tells a funny
story but now has joke on the
whole United States government as
represented by the geological survey.
Some years ago, when scientific white
men first came into this country some
excavations were made near Maricopa
and cement foundations were laid for
the placing of certain instruments for
astronomical observation. The work
being completed, the instruments were
taken elsewhere. Recently, according
to Mr.. Patrick, the geological survey
desired for some purpose unknown to
him, to locate these old foundations
and. sent a corps of men to MaricOpa
to search for them. The men were
secretive, of course as all government
employees are supposed to be- and as
quietly as possible conducted their ex-
plorations till the face of the earth in
the vicinity of Maricopa looked like a
prairie dog village and the citizens of
that delightful summer resort began
to object to the seeming vandalism
/ that was destroying the picturesque

from 3. f. Porter, formerly superin-
tendent Of the NJ. & p. & S. r. " rail-
road here and is also acquainted with
other former residents of this city
now living in Eureka. Among them
is Il. w. Hine, who has made profit
able investments there. Still another
thing that makes Arizona not entirely
a terra incognita to him is the fact
that he has a son who is an engineer
in the government service ana who
years ago spent much time in Arizona
in the course of his business. at the
same time becoming a sort OF a family
bureau of information concerning the
southwest. He is now preparing for
service at the seat of operations in
Panama.
Speaking Of his own county and town
Mr.. Connick talks enthusiastically and
is properly patriotic. From all pre-
vious accounts, as well as from Mr..
Connick, that portion Of California is
truly a garden spot and possesses own
derful resources, mainly in dairying
and numbering. And it does rain there
somatimes, too. During the present
winter the records show a precipitation
of sixty inches, more than one, from
present indications, would expect
could ever fall in Arizona.
Speaking of commerce at the port o.
Eureka, Mr.. Connick has the docu-
ments to show a pleasing prosperity
and a constantly and rapidly increas-
ing business. Communication with
the outside world is entirely by boat,
though he says that both the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe lines now have a
right of way complete between San
Francisco and Eureka. The S. P. line
runs up the coast and is now within
ninety miles Of Eureka. The Santa Fe,

THE SHETLAND PONY.
Runa Wild in His Early Days-A ID,
voted Friend Of Man,

Rune Wild in Hls Early Days-A De-
voted Frlend Of Man.
When at home the pony is still left
very much to himself, and during his
earlier years runs wild. But he Is
easily reformed, and speedily aban-
dons his wild and odd ways and be-
comes a devoted friend Of man and
an admirable worker. So great Is theIr
affection for the ponies that the island
ers never kill them, but when they are
too old for work they allow them to
return to the fields and hills and live
out the last Of their days in peace.
Sometimes the old animals, in their
wanderings for food, will fall over
the cliffs and so perish. They still
reach the age of 30 years or more in
their native land, and there is a case
ON record-but it is probably apocry-
phal-of Sheltie which lived to be
hundred years old.
Like every other good thing for
which demand has arisen, the prices
Of SheltAes have increased In recent
years. There has been for q consider
able period large export trade in the
ponies, Of which there were at one
time 10000 in the islands, but, accord
ing to government returns, the num-
Der Is now about half. In the eigh-
tenth century it was possible to OBJ.
tain a good Sheltie for 80 shillinRs
about $40, and the average price In
1909 was So more. Half a century
ago a pony could be bought for from
81 to $50, but in 1871 males ranged
from $40 to $50, the mares fetching
only half that sum, as they were not
suitable for pit work, for which the
Shelties were mostly needed. Since
then prices have greatly advanced, and
large sums are obtained for choice
specimens Of the pony, especially when
they are wanted for children's use. A
yearling will now command from $50
upward.
The Sheltie cannot be worked unti,
