 man in the prime of life with many
 good years of active life before him.
 There is not a mining camp in the
 United States in which Mir. Boyd has
 not thrust his pick or drawn his
 hand" He was a chum of w. s.
 Stratten of the Portland and Inde- pendence mine of Cripple Creek when
 he was a drunken carpenter without cent or place to lay his head and knew him afterwards when he was a many time millionaire, after the Eng fish spectators had taken over his property and tells many interesting stories of this peculiar and eccentric character. He hob nobed with w. A. Clarke before he had sou markue or owned his big copper properties in Montana and Arizona. He knew Senator Kerns in Utah when he was a common placer miner. He worked mineral claims in South Africa before the Boer war and paid the Boers $50 per cord for wood and $36 per dozen for eggs and unspeakable prices for every other necessity of life and thinks that the English did a good deed and righteous act when they wiped the Dutch republic off of the map. Iii Australia and South Amer ica Mir. Boyd is almost as much at home as in the United States. He went to the Klondike when that camp was the new Eldorado and saw the first gold taken out on the banks of the Yukon river and the city of Daw- son spring into being under the shad- Ow Of the arctic circle. He has ac- cumulated a competence and can live now as he pleases but loves to tell the stories of adventure and misad- venture of other days

D. Whiteside. forrer councilman from Mohave county, has written a letter to the Tucson Citizen concern ing the impending joint statehood danger. in which he says:
 If you will permit me, l will lay before you the plan. if got at and thor oughly worked. may save us. It has got beyond the politicians to do much if any good. If there should be a convention called let its member ship consist largely of business men. Organize the bankers, dry goods and hardware merchants. farmers. liquor dealers and brewers. cattle aud mine owners. each with a separate com mittee. acting separately, but in con- cert with each other. Let the bank CTS write to their correspondents elst in every city, setting forth reasons why this should not be done. from bankers standpoint, that it will lower the value of securities. Let the dry goods and grocery merchants write to each and every wholesale house in all the cities east that they buy goods of that it will reduce their business, ow- ing to the fact of the effect upon their securities. Let the cattlemen go to the large packers and do the same work. After these letters have been written let a delegation from each committee call in person, plead per sonally with them, and get them to see it as we do. Get them to go 10 their senators and congressman and tell them this should not be done. for the ill effect it will have on their bus mess.
 What effect do you suppose it would have on Shelby Cullom, Billy Lorimer and Joe Cannon if they should receive word from Marshall Field. Farweil, McVeigh and others of that kind? They would. as your old friend William R. Morrison. used 10 say tear the seat of their trousers out to do as they asked
 This plan would take lots of work and organization. If Arizona is not worth an effort from every man, wo- man and child in it against this out rage. then our boasting has been naught. l do not know of but one man in this territory that is for the joint bill.
 T have gone too far Your pen is strong and can do more than any other toward helping to prevent this outrage. Your friend.

GUN BADLY
WOUNDS A
YOUNG LAD

The exploding of a shotgun blew off
the right thumb and terribly LAGER
ated the right hand Of 15-year-old
George Wallace near the up-river
pumping station this afternoon.
Wallace had taken the gun, which
is an old muzzle loader, and started
out with couple of companions on a
hunting jaunt.
Just as the party arrived near the
pumping station Wallace attempted
to discharge the gun. For some rea-
son the weapon exploded. Wallace,
screaming with pain, ran toward his
companions, but in a few seconds
dropped to the ground, writing with
pain.
His companions ran to the pump
ing station, where they notified F. ID.

at the station. Johnson Immediately
dispatched Ed Hartman in his buggy
to take the wounded youth to the
nearest physician.

MISSOULA, Mont, Aug. 23.--Most
all of the telegraph operators who
went out on the recent strike are to

will leave Missoula within the near

have been given assignments to other
stations.
There may be others of the boys
to go back later on, providing they
are here, but the vast majority of
them have signified their intention
of going to other roads, where Chair
man Kelley states positions are
awaiting them. Mr.. Kelley himself
expects to leave the service of the
company and will remove from Ham

these people have wasted their time
