One Mustered Jack Miles.
 Last week on Little Mi, ook the dogs around the cabin kept up such a racket that Jack Miles couldn't sleep. He turned over in bed and rebuked them in the most forcible language he could command; but it was no use-the intolerable bow WOW went on.
 Finally he got out of bed and crept cautiously to the door. with billet of stovewood in hand, intend ing to lambast the first dog he could see. He threw the door wide olen and jumped outside, and instantly found himself confronted by big bear, who was feas,ing of pile of stale biscuits not yard away. At first Miles was too much flusteIed to attempt to move, and he and the bear stood looking at each other in silence. Presently the bear reached out toward Jack for another biscuit and, shrieking "G' way from here, ye son of-a-gun!" the man fell backwards into the cabin and shut and baTricaded the door. At 2:3O in the morning he peered out and saw the bear curled up asleep in the sunshine a few yards away: but when the morning was we'll advanced he looked again and the unwelcome visitor was gone.
 Mir. Miles had no gun.

Four Good Stories About Bad Bears
 -r..
One Killed on Ruby.

One night week before last the Ruby creek hydraulic peoples cache was robbed of lot of dried fish. The robbery was at first attributed to d,'gs; but the next night when a commotion was heard outside in vestigation disclosed a big black bear preparing to repeat the bur glary. An alarm was given and Bruin was assaulted by every man around the works. A running fire was kept up for long distance, and when the big brute finally sue cumbed it was found that sixteen bullets had pierced the carcass, not one of which. strange to say, had touched bone.
 Bear steak was plentiful on Ruby creek.

BASE BALL.
IIIIII HI
IIIIInIIIF
MoRENCI 7-CL1FToN 6.

As stated in the ERA last week, the game between Clifton and Morenci was a hot contest. It took the Cliff ton boys eight innings to get on to O'Brien, but when they did they pounded him all over the field and out of the lot. The game was called ten minutes later than announced with Clifton at the bat. O'Brien struck out Hunter, hit Farrow and Danen- hauer sent one to second, allowing a double, retiring the side. Morenci scored one in the first and continued to score to the amount of six runs up to the eighth inning. Things looked gloomy for Clifton and MOrenci rooters had full charge of the grand stand. Chances were against the home team and every error seemed to cost a run, but the boys played together in the uphill pull and in the ninth inning Danenhauer started the fireworks by lining one through Mac, the Chief hit safe to right and then Price pasted one to center for three sacks. This started the run getting and the grand stand awakened somewhat Williams laid the stick down, Doran hit to pitcher, Price tried to score and was caught. Quilting hit safe, Dudley hit safe and the result was-score 2-6, 3 men on bases and out. O'Brien was look ing fierce and Brubaker behind the bat was angry. The first ball that came over looked good to Hunter. He gave swing, a sharp report rang out and the ball went over the fence. Here is where the Clifton rooters got in their work and the grand stand continued to roar for ten minutes. The side was retired with the score 6-6 with Morenci a half coming. They scored a run and the result was | 7-6.
 It was one of the quietest games ever played on the Clifton diamond and the boys all acted as gentlemen and played ball. No game was ever enjoyed to such an extent and the spectators got their moneys worth in the ninth.
 Cook was at his best and struck out men up to the fourth inning, but had the misfortune to jerk his arm out and was compelled to retire from the game. Farrow finished it out and held the Morenci hitters down as we'll as could be expected of new man. There was snappy ball played on both sides and the only objection was the one sided score and the great bability of shut out in the early part of the game. But nay, no more shut-outs for Clifton this season.

THE opening of the great Truckee- Carson canal enterprise in Nevada occurred this week; it is the first en- terprise undertaken by the govern ment under the reclamation act; it is the beginning of the reclamation of the arid west and the making of prosperous homes for many millions of people where there is now only barren desert. All these homes and the great wealth which they will add to the country will come without one cent of cost to the government. It is true that the government is fur nishing the ready money to build the original reservoir, dams and canals, but they hold the lands to be re- claimed with the water as security for the return of this money to the treasury within certain period. It is safe to say that notwithstanding the great productions now recorded in the various mining camps through out Arizona the wealth which will come from the added agricultural area as a result of national irriga- tion during the next ten years will equal if not exceed the product of the mines today; this will not be seen in every locality,-bat when the whole area is totaled up the agricul- t1ral industry will far exceed the mineral industry in Arizona long be- fore the present generation shall have passed away.-International- American.

Labor Scarce in Chihuahua.

The state of Chihuahua. as well as many other parts of Mexico, has a labor problem to face-in fact it is already on us, says the Chihuahua Enterprise. The problem is not unions and strikes, but the scarcity of labor. It behooves employers to be looking about, for the rapidly in- creasing demand is making laborers scarcer every day.
 Of course, the deceiving calamity howler will say "keep still; you will scare capital away" We have no sympathy with such talk.
 The problem has to be faced and solved and the quicker it is done the better.
 Let us get at it.
 Only last week a representative of w. c. Greene came here and adver- tised for 500 laborers at S1.50 per day to work on wagon roads: the com honest kind of labor, that has been commanding S1 per day until recent ly. Nor could the men be had for that price. The Orient has spent several thousand dollars bringing men from the south and is still short of laborers, for those fellows have gone on to the states. The Chihua- hua and Pacific's extension is much delayed on account of labor. Soon the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pacific will require several thousand laborers, the shelter to be built here will require more, and perhaps the proposed electric street car line will soon be in the market for labor.
 Where are the men to be had; They are not in Mexico and this fact may just as we'll be realized first as last. The rapid growth of industries in Mexico has been absorbing labor at a great rate for the past few years. This is a fact.
 It seems to us that there is but one solution to this problem which is be. coming so serious and that is the inn portation of. Chinese. Where else are laborers to be had? China is the cheapest labor market in the world it is drug on the market there. We honestly believe that Mexico could absorb 1, ,00O, ,000 Chinese working men during the next twelve months and not injure the native laborers one particle.

LIEUTENANT BROOKS of the ranger force, his brother Jack Brooks, and Deputy Sheriff Davis, of Cochise county, returned last week from a 400-mile horse back ride into Sonora where they captured a horse thief. The thief was captured by the plucky rangers, and was turned over to the Mexican authorities for a graver crime, and no doubt, ere this he has been executed. Now, this is what the ERA calls good work, and is what the ranger force was created for. The ERA is always willing to give every man on the force credit for doing his duty, when he does it. They have been of great service to the territory in the past, and doubt less will be in the future if they can but realize that they were not created for the purpose of looking after petty offenders around the towns. Hurrah for Lieutenant Brooks! He has set an example for other rangers to follow.
