Chairman.

Dr. Ray Ferguson of Nogales re turned home yesterday following the final proceedings in relation to the closing up, in legal form, of deal en- tered into, a fact The Citizen was the first to announce few weeks ago. Dr. Ferguson promoted this deal, which means the transfer of three fourths interest in the Worlds Fair mines in the Harshaw district in the Patagonia aountaius, Santa Cruz county
 The parties to the purchase are Minnesota men, two of whom were here yesterday from Winona, J. w. Booth and D. A. Stewart, the bankers of that city.

Mir. Powers retains one fourth interest in the Worlds Fair mines, which he has profitted so well by in the past and so handsomely in the present transaction. Mir. Powers, his wife and daughter will again To- cate at their cosy home at the mines leaving here today.
 An increased force of men have been at work at the Worlds Fair for three weeks past and in due course of time the new machinery required will be installed.

There is much for Tucsonians to feel good over in the grand showing being made apparent in the recent work at the Twin Buttes. This means great deal more to Tucson than most people are prepared to expect Good results at the Twin Buttes is not all, but the fact that the outlook is so favorable there will be an incentive for other operators in the vicinity of the Twin Buttes to settle down to activity in order to realize returns.

He desired his brother, the poet laur-

old story of an unlnusical girl made

himself with poetry and let spiritual

Voices of Native Africans.

The timbre of the voices among cen
trail Africans is usually good-deep
and strong in the men, very melodi-
Gus and sweet in the women. One
notable popularity about the people
is the forced key in which they al
ways carry on conversation. The or
binary quiet tones of civilized speech
are scarcely ever heard among them.
They literally shout and, such being
their habit, it is a matter of indif-
ference to them whether the person
to whom they are speaking is close
by or twenty yards away. They are
most tireless chatterers,' says a trav-
eler. II doubt whether any other peo-
pie in the world talk so much or laugh
SO much. Their laughter is particu-
larly healthy, natural and unre-
strained-a most eNhilarating sound"

Subject of First Photograph.

Lord Avebury was the first person
to have his photograph taken in Eng
land. NJ. Daguerre. the coinventor
with NJ. Niepce of the art of rhotog-
raphy. came to London to patent the
invention which bears his name, and
paid an early visit to the present Lord
Avebury's father. The enthusiastic
Frenchman was o. explaining the
details OF his new discovery. Young
John Lubbock, as he then was, was
playing in the garden, and NJ. Da-
guerre, pointing to him, asked to be
allowed to give a practical demonstra-
ton OF the art. The request was, of
course, granted, and a successful re-
suit followed.

Leavened Bread Not Widely ,,eee

From Rome the art OF making leav-
ened bread was slowly introduced
among the northern nations, and even
at the present time, in upper Nor
way and Sweden, in Finland, Iceland
and Siberia. fermented bread is but
seldom used except among the higher
classes. In many parts of Sweden rye
cakes as hard as wood are baked
twice a year and form the common

land, up to a recent period. barley
bannocks and oaten cakes were the

been largely due to the fact that ma
