Johnny Cromb came near losing his life in the Frisco river Sunday last. In company with Charley Johnson he started to cross the river on horse back at the regular crossing east of the railroad yards. His horse got into q deep hole, and then rolled over causing MT. CrOmb to let go of the animal. Mir. Cromb cannot swim, and even had he been an expert swimmer it probably would not have been of much benefit to him in such swift, heavy water. MT. Johnson at one time managed to get hold of the drowning man, but his hold slip ped, and he was carried on down the stream. He sank several times and went under for the last time when just above the A. (. hospital. A powerful Mexican, and d good swim mcr jumped in and by diving caught Mir. Cromb, brought him to the sur face, and managed to make landing with him. At that time Mir. Cromb was inSensible, but after being rolled around until the water was shaken out of him he revived, and was taken home, and was soon fully recovered. He says that he realized when he went down the last time that it was all or with him, but he was so nearly dead that he didn't care very much. He is now of the opinion that Chinese Jim is not the only lucky man in Clifton.

During his recent visit to Cananea Colonel Greene ordered d material increase in the capacity of his re- duction plant, which is already one of the largest in the world. The devel- opmcnt of the mines however, has been most phenomenal, and has re- quired the continual increase of the reduction plant. The Green Consoli- dated company will soon be produC- ing more copper than any other one company in the world, except the Amalgamated, which controls many plants All this has been brought about by the indomnitable pluck, energy and ability of one man, who is only just beginning his career of usefulness as citizen of the south west. If MT. Greene lives ten years longer he will have done more for So- nora and Chihuahua than the Mexi- cans have done for it during the past century. MT. Greene is today one of the greatest fnanciers in America, and he is expending all of his ability and energy towards the development of the so uthweSt.

HOW 1T WAS
WRITTEN
Chronicle,

henry Frapcis Lyle, author of that
matchless composition, "Abide with
Me, for twenty years was sufferer
from consumption. During this time
he was the minister over a parish com
posed largely of fisherfolk in coast
town of England He labored faith
fully among his people, yet he always
longed to do something that would
have an influence for the good of hu-
manity after his death, a longing
which found expression in beautiful
poem. The story of how this desire
came to be fulfilled through writing:
"a bide with Me- is re.ated in the
February Delineator, in an interesting
paper by Allan Sutherland, giving the
history and romance of the famous
hymn.
''In the autumn of 1847 his physi-
clans informed Mr.. Lyle that it would
be necessary for him to relinquish his
work and spend the winter in Italy
When the last Sabbath of his stay in
England September 3, 1S47, arrived,
he determined to preach once more to
his little flock and to celebrate with
them the Lords Supper. In spite of
the protest of friends, he carried out
his intentions, although scarcely able
to stand in the chancel In words of
melting tenderness he pleaded with
his people to live holy lives, and when
he took his leave of them there was
scarcely a dry eye in the church. The
day had been we'll nigh perfect, and
in the late afternoon, recovering
somewhat from the strain of the ser
vice In the church, he walked slowly
and feebly down the terraced walk to
the water he loved so we'll and
which he was about to leave forever.
The spell of the hour was upon the
minister While the bright sunset
colors faded into the sober grays of
twilight, he slowly made his way back
to the house in prayerful silence and
went to his room. When he Joined his
family little later be bore in his
hand the words that we're destined to
move thousands. His prayer had been
answered. His last evening in his old
home had produced that which will
be blessing so long as the heart turns
to its Maker for help in times of
need.

conditions under which the cattle in
dustry is maintained.
The meeting resulted in general
exchange of opinions of men from all
quarters of the territory and an out
line of bill was decided on and
committee appointed to confer with
an attorney and have the ideas of the
stockmeu reduced to tangible lines to
be submitted to the big convention of
the association which will be held at
Padget's hall today at p. m.
1t is expected that this meeting will
be attended by every cattleman in
the territory that is not detained by
flood or fire.
A most harmonious understanding
has been arrived at to adjust all diff
ferences existing among the different
branches of the stock raisers. Amend
ments will be submitted to the Iegis-
Iature which if enacted will remove
all the Objectionable features of the
butchers license and brand tax law,
besides which it is expected to greatly
increase the efficiency of the inspec-

THAN
CHINESE

Older even than Chlpa, the oldest
existing nation, are the cliff dwell
lings of southwestern United States,
homes of a race whose very name has
persisted from the earth. Explorers,
pulling through the Mancos and Casa
Verde canyons of Arizona and New
Mexico, found the houses of this
strange people in the widest and most
inaccessible of the mountain sides.
Did the cliff dwellers antedate the
pyramids of Egypt? We're they of
blood relation to early inhabitants of
the land where the Nile is God? Some
students are prepared to answer both
questions affirmatively and to give
what is them to abundant proof. The
pottery from their long wrecked homes
suggests Egypt, and the few inscrip-
tions found have similar suggestions.
Mummies, bodies wrapped in cloth,
feathers from the breast of turkey,
have teen dug from burial places
among the cliffs, and in bone and hair
much unlike the Indian of today
there is hint of resemblance to a
more oriental tpye. If the cliff dwell
lers left any descendants, however re
mote, they are doubtless the Moki
and Zuni Indians, who, resembling
them in habits and appearance, are
their closest kinsmen. Chicago
