Low
GRADE ORE

Albert Gel ,er, lessee of the Bonan-
"a niue, came up from Baker City
this morning. He says that resump
tion of operations at the Bonanza
will begin just as soon as 5000
pounds OF supplies and new equip
ment, ordered Monday by Mr.. Geiser
from sn eastern machinery house,
is delivered on the ground, which
he expects to be about April 20.
It is learned from an official source
that Mr.. Geiser's plan of operation
will be 10 reopen a big body OF low
grade ore, abandoned by the old
Thatcher management last year, aud
run the 40 stamp mill to its utmost
capacity. This ore body is said to
grade from s5 to 90 per ton, and with
economical operation, the opinion
prevails that Mr.. Geiser can make
good profit.

Most of our readers who have mad
experience In timbering, will recall
the fact that many timbers may break
without previous warming. Some
pines arc notorious for being brittle.
Such timbers will snap without the

The rules adopted by an expert.

are: CD Give the maximum strength

than the lagHing,. Should excessive
strain develop the lagRings will show
the effect frat. The main sets eau
then be reinforced, either by doub.
ling up or by reducing the distance
between sets. before any serious dam.

Afee and L. J. Rice left to assist in the search.
 It was thought too that she might have gone O. directly to Mcdowell without waiting for the rest of the party Accordingly yesterday evening g telephone message inqulring about her was sent to Evergreen which she could no. well have passed without be- ing observed. A reply came that noth- ing had been seen of her.
 At 10 o'cIocl, last night a message was received from Rice saying that the search up to that time had been fruit less. 4 man had been sent from Clay sons to LcCowen. He was expected to return sometime in the night bring ing either word of the finding of the girl or his failure to find her. If she should not be found at Mcdowell the apprehension now entertained win give .ve-y to despair for she could hardly survive the desert for two days at this season of the year.
 AS has been stated tho locality where she disappeared is not one where one even unGcquainted with the country could be easily lost. It is therefore feared that she has been overtaken by Gn accident.

Fears Felt fer the Safety of Miss
 Nary SanbOrn.

Miss Mary SanbOIn, 8 young woman living with he- aunt, Miss Bessie Me Cracken of 2042 west Adams street is lost on the desert somewhere east of the city and the greatest apprehen- sions for her safety are felt She was a member of a party consisting of her aunt. NJ. Bacon and daughter, Miss Susie Bacon of 1415 east Jefferson street and Mrs. Bovell and daughter of Chicago who left the city on Monday afternoon for 9 camping trip in the mountains. They intended to go firsc to Fort Mcdowell and after that to go into the Tonto basin country. All the members of the party except Miss Sanborn were travelling in a wagon. She left on horse back an hour ahead of the rest of the party
 The start was made about 4 o'clock in the afternoon ard it was agreed that inc stopping place for the night should he on the Cross Cut canal not far from the ClaysOn ranch. When the party in the wagon reached the camp ing place Miss Sanborn was not there. IL vas thought that she might have ridden as far as the falls and the party vent up the canal to that point but could find no trcce of her.
 There was not 2 great deal of alarm Felt at first for she was well acquaint- ed in that part Of the country in which anyhow one would not easily get lost. The roads are we'll defined and there is a telephone line which can be seen in every direction for miles. It was sur missed that she might have gone to the nearby Indian reservation for she is very much interested in Indians. She frequently visits the reservations and is kind Of voluntary teacher of them She Is well known and liked by all the Indians on the adjacent reservations and sometimes when she finds those with whom she is acquainted in town takes them home with her.
 But nothing was heard of her in the course Of the night and early ycster- day morning Mr. Bacon set out on tour of the vicinity in search of her. He reported at the ClaysOn ranch about noon that he could learn nothing of her. It IS not known how far he carried his search but he would naturally have gone to the reservation. The search was continued through the afternoon and late in the day Rev. Lapsley Me

A FEMININE CONSPIRACY
How Two Phoenix Women Organized
 a Trip to the Coast.

Two households in Phoenix have lately been broken up, temporarily at least, that a couple of women may visit the coast. The husband of one Of them had teen out Of town work ing hard. On his return he found that he was without a home. His wife had sold out and gone away. He found a sewing machine which she thought she might want again some time and had left at the house of a neighbor. He tried to recover possession of il with the aid O. a sewing machine agent by whom it was represented that the ma chine was not yet paid for. Then the husband made inquiry to see if it would not be possible to recover the furniture which had been sod without his knowledge and consent He was told that furniture is a peculiar kind of property; 1t belongs as much to the husband as to the wife, but no moI e. It may be sold by either of them with out the consent of the other though it's sale may be. forcibly restrained. But the sale once made is binding. The woman in the case will Ee known by the name of Mrs A.
 The day after the husband Of Mrs A. had informed himself regarding the status of household furniture another man called at the same justices ot- flee with a unique complaint He did not expect to obtain any relief but he wanted to unburdeu himself to some body officially entitled to listen to him This man will be called MT. B.
 He said that he had returned home Just In time to interfere with the sale by his wife of his household goods When he asked his wife why she was trying to dispose of the furniture she said that she had just heard of the ill., ness of her mother somewhere. in Tex as and wanted to go to her st once The husband told her that there vas no reason why she could not go in case of this severe emergency and he gave her money for her transportation and expenses. He went with her to the depot and saw her off for the south. She appeared to be very sor- " 10 leave but there was her d7l+y 10 her dying mother. The husband aC- mired her for the br-ve sacrifice she was making.
 The next day MT. B. learned that his wife had not gone to Texas at all but that she had bought g ticket to Los Angeles and had purchased ft while he was looking on. She joined Mrs A. at Mar1copa and thence they journeyed on together to where the sad ee1 waves moan in accompaniment 10 their husbands grcans.
 But this is the season of the year when imrrovident people make all kinds of sacrifices to go to the coast. 1ills IS the season of the year when pianos and cook stoves are pawnad or. sold for the expenses or the iourne,, and when no thought is taken Of the Homecoming to the empty house. the life to be begun over again with inn paired credit at the Butchers. the ba- ker's, and the grocer's whose bills have been left unpaid.
