Riches Of Arizona.

A correspondent of the Journal Miner, in writing from Harrisburg, Yuma county, says:
 Within a radius of twenty miles around Quartzite there has been more than thirty millions of dollars pro- duced by the dry washer process, and there are still many thousand acres to be worked when adequate means and proper appliances can be introduced to work them, and there remains thousands of square miles of mineral land to be prospected along the route of the Arizona X California railway, which road is now making rapid stride towards completion. They are laying track at the rate of one mile per day, and will undoubtedly make connection with the main line at or near Danby, in California, before July l.
 This road is destined to be one of the most profitable the Santa Fe sys- tenn has yet built when the resources of the section through which it passes is even practically developed.

ARIZONA HAPPENINGS.

The body of a man who had presum- ably been dead two or three weeks was found in the old stone corral near Coyote Holes, by George A. Bonelli and Albert Teeter who were hunting horses, last Thursday afternoon. The find was reported to the officers, and the sheriff and coroner immediately made an investigation. The body was that of an aged man and death ap- peared to have been from natural causes. It was wrapped in bedding, but animals had eaten away the flesh from the face and neck and one arm was entirely gone. Some clothing was lying near the body and a sack con- tained clothing and two cans of sar- dimes and one can of corned beef Nothing that would identify the man in any way could be found. Near the body was railroad ticket dated Janu- ary II, 1905. from Goffs to Needles There was not even jack knife in the pockets. .-Mohave Miner.

QUEENS AUTO ADVENTURE.
Mishap to Car Compels Mother Of
Italy's King to Put Up with
Humble Lodgings.

Queen Margherita, the queen mother
of Italy, has done more to make herself
knows to the rural inhabitants of her
sons kingdom in the three years that
she has been motoring than in the
twenty-five Of her own reign, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. she gets an immense
amount of amusement out of impromptls
visits to small towns, while the villagers
go wild with enthusiasm. The other
day she arrived in Cecina, village of
5000 people, near Pisa, and, a mishap
occurring to the motor she stopped the
night there at the inn.
Her majesty slept in an old fashioned
four poster, and found the water frozen
in her room in~the morning. Carpets
there were none. but good will in plenty,
and when she appeared at breakfast
she remarked to the delighted landlady
who was serving, that the delicious odor
of the lavender scented sheets was still
with her. The parish priest had had a
little more warning, so that when the
queen appeared in the church for morn
ing mass he was ready for her in freshly
starched vestments, while the faces of
his acolytes were shining after free
application of soap and water. He was
visibly nervous, and almost dropped the
collection plate when he saw that it con-
tanned gold.

found that the intruder and a goodiy
number of her most valuable trinkets
had disappeared.
Hirst had a particularly ingenious
way Of getting into houses and one
which greatly puzzled the police, who
could never find that locks had been
forced or windows broken. He had q
wire with loop at the end of it par
TALLY wound with cotton wool and so ar
ranged that if put through letter drop
it could be used to pull back the catch
of the door lock. Hirst got rid of his
"swag" to dealers in stolen property,
whom he met by night at some specially
chosen RENDEZVOUS. He correspondent
with them by means of cipher messages.
Unluckily for this amateur cracks
man, he had an uncommonly clever
member of his former craft on his trail
in the person of Detective Fipp, of
Scotland Yard. For months while the
BALKAN burglaries were going on and
Hirst was playing the part of society
butterfly on the proceeds therefrom
Fipp worked On the mystery.
At first the authorities had believed
that an organized gang was at work,
but after while Fipp satisfied himself
that the series of crimes were commit
ted by one man. He decided, too, that
the robber must live in the district,
which he evidently knew like book.

So he set himself to find cut if there
was anyone in BALKAN who seemed to
be prospecting exceedingly without do
ing much work Finally he became sus-
picious of Hirst. who, though he posed
as private detective, didn't appear to
have mary clients. and yet lived CD the
fat of the land. So he got in touch with
Hirst's landlord and eventually got per-
mission to visit the detectives rooms.
In the fireplace he discovered torn
checkbook which had formed part OF
the proceeds of a recent burglary. Then
he arrested Hirst and made more care
full search OF his establishment when
articles of jewelry and other valuables
were found relating to II cases of theft.
Not the least remarkable thing about
Hirst's case was the plea on which,
after his conviction, the gentleman
burglar" asked not to be sentenced to
penal servitude. Through his counsel
in which, after stating that his relatives
were highly respectable and that he had
received good education, he said: Il
have during my remand seen enough OF
the ordinary prisoners to see what they
are like, and can assure you that it
is my earnest desire not to associate
with such class of people. l pray you
not to send me 10 prison to mix with
such an ordinary class of criminals"
But aestheticism didn't appeal to the
judge, who gave Hirst the maximum
sentence.

FACTS ABOUT CORAL BEADS
The Genuine Are Full Of Imperfec-
tons and Are Still High
in Price.

IF you wish to buy coral beads" re-
marked the jewel enthusiast, according
to the Philadelphia Record, you must
go to a reliable dealer. Why, even Gel
luloid may be SO shaped and tinted that
the average person would not know the
difference There's one way to tell, how
ever, if the chain be cheap. In this case
the very perfection of the beads will
convince the wouldbe purchaser of
their spuriousness. A string of small
beads, at, say, So or $40, will be full of
little imperfections, if they be real The
larger the bead of real coral the more ex-
pensive. The old carved coral jewelry
of long ago went out because it was imi-
tated in celluloid till you couldn't tell
the difference between pieces that cost
three dollars and $50. Just because the
pretty beads in delicate pink are so ex-
pensive most persons fancy that branch
coral chains, five feet in length, that sell
at one dollar and less, are not real. But
they are, and they are cheap because
they are made of the tip ends of the
coral branches. which are too small to
be carved into anything at all. All
along the Italian coast these chains are
sold for lire and half 60 cents). Sor-

in no country does he get sharper

that the more one has to do the more

nothing and brags ceaselessly OF his
wife's projections. Should he presume
to criticise a charred chop or fiat

brute, and the wife is pitied as first

of finding fault with the impeccable

MATCHED IN POLAR WINTER
Bird Of the Antarctic Region Which
Has But Recently Become
Known.

DR.. E.. F. Wilson's lecture at the
Royal Institution on the emperor pen
gum was illustrated by skins, eggs and
number of lantern pictures Of the
birds and their rookeries, reports the
London Telegraph of recent date.
This fine species, larger than the
king penguin, which has been exhib-
tied in the Geological gardens, was
discovered during Capt. Cooks second
expedition, but until the return re-
Gently of the Antarctic expedition,
nothing was known of its life history
or habits. The curious thing is that
the birds are Matched in the depth Of
the Polar winter.
A single egg is laid, which is brood
ed between the birds feet and the soft
plumage of the body. The chick is
clothed in grayish white down, which
is moulted after five months, and
when about a year and a half old the
immature plumage Is exchanged for
that OF the adult. One young bird was
taken on board the Discovery and kept
alive for i've months.

Cotton-Plant's Counter-stroke.

Studies of the cotton-boll weevil by
the department of agriculture's experts
have established the fact that the cotton
plant, in some of it's varieties, has de-
veloped practical means of resisting
and destroying the weevil larvae. The
defense made by the plant consists of
the development in the young buds that
are attacked of an oxidation which fills
the cavity eaten out by the larvae, and
either smothers the latter or starves it
by surrounding it with a watery tissue
from which it cannot. derive SUFFICIENT
nourishment. The process is analogous
to that by which gals and other yeee-
table excrescences are formed. Mr.. q
F. Cook suggests that the general plant
ing OF a variety of cotton possessing
this defensive process as a constant
character might exterminate the weevi1

Temper and Health.

One Of the most difficult things to do
in the world sometimes is to keep ones
temper. A calm serenity Of temper and
a self-control which keeps person un-
rufled amid the petty annoyances and
lies Of everyday life, says the Chicago
Daily News, indicate the possession Of
perfect mental health. Nowadays peo-
pie are very fond Of saying so-and-so

but it would be well If temper were
more often seriously regarded as mad
ness. 1t may be preventable madness,
but madness it is while it lasts, and
there is seldom anyone who is made

who gives way to it. In our treatment
of the ill-tempered the cultivation of
the art of not hearing will be very
helpful. 1t is a useful art all through
life.

The seriousness of fire losses in the
United States becomes conspicuous as
one gets down to details. Here is an
interesting comparison: The revenue
Of the state of Maine in 1903 was, in
round numbers, 1856, 900; the damage
done by fires in the state during that
year is estimated at $1,000 more than
that sum, without taking into account
the destruction by forest fires, which
would have added more than 100000
on the wrong side. Doubtless almost
any other state would make quite as
had a showing; but such figures.
wheresoever found, are full of sugges-
ton.
