Lost In Mountains.

During the past week there has
been much uneasiness in Clifton in
regard to E. r. Patterson of the
ella Valley Bank, who spent month
in the White mountains, about
eighty-fve miles from Clifton. He
was expected to return on the 18th
instant, but has not yet made his
appearance. Some days previous to
that date a letter was received by
Dick Franz from his wife stating
that Mr.. Patterson would leave on
the Sunday following, and had he
started at that time he would have
arrived home, barring accidents,
before the 18th. Cashier Van Dorm
has been very uneasy, and this week
started a man to the mountains to
ascertain the cause of Mr.. Patter-
sons delay. He also telegraphed to
the nearest railroad station to the
camp. with instructions to send
man to the camp in order that he
may know positively if Mr.. Patterson
had left. 1t is possible that he may
have taken sick and remained at
the camp, but in this event it is
most likely that he would have sent
a message to the bank stating his
condition. 1t is also possible that
he may have been lost in the noun
tains, or that he may have been
accidentally hurt, and is laid up
at some of the ranches. 1t is also
possible that something of a more
serious nature may have happened to
him.

Stevens Brothers, who are oper-
ating the Stevens mines under a
lease, report the body of rich ore
which they recently uncovered in the
old workings as increasing in width
as the work progresses. The vein
is now four feet wide and will aver
age 20 per cent in copper. They
are also uncovering a large body of
sulphides in another part of the mine
that will average about s per cent.
Both classes of ore are very desir-
able for smelling. 1t looks now
as though the Stevens mines will
open up as did the old Standard.
The body of rich ore was struck
within flew feet of tunnel which
had been run on the property more
than twenty years ago, which shows
how easy it is to sometimes miss a
bonanza.

Caught in the Act.

On Tuesday night a Mexican was
arrested by Lem Spaw in the Green
lee Hotel, while in the act of robb-
ing the trousers of Mr.. Spaw's room
maze. After the arrest it was as
certained that earlier in the evening
he had made a deposit of about $50
in money with saloon keeper which
he had previously obtained from the
trousers of a roomer in the same
house. He is good for trip to
Yuma. Henry Collins thinks he is
the man who set fire to his hotel
some months ago, but he has no
evidence of a positive nature.

Mr. and Mrs. Alsdorf returned last
week from California, where they
spent several weeks fishing and

perhaps well that they left Catalina,
for had they remained much longer
the fishing would have been very
poor for the season.

Robert Martyr, of the Standard
mines, returned this week from the
San Simon valley, where he spent a
considerable portion of his vacation.
The boys at the mine were very
much disappointed that he returned
alone, as they expected that he
would be more successful, however,
he assures them that it was through
no fault or effort on his part that he
failed.

Judge Shirley returned last week
from California, where he spest some
months recuperating from the in
,juries he received in an accident
which befel him at Metcalf. He had
very pleasant time while away, and
returns greatly improved in health,
however, he is compelled to walk
with a cane, and will probably never
again have perfect use of one of his
limbs. AS heretofore stated by the
ERA the Judge will be candidate
subject to the endorsement of the
democratic county convention for
the office of probate judge. His
physical condition is such that he
will not be able to make d very swift
race, but he says that he is willing to
start early, and is encouraged by the
old addage of the tortoise and the
hare

Hon. Henry Hill visited the lower

the same train with Major Latin,
and it is understood that the Major
will "spring something" on him and
John Birdno next week that will be
interesting reading. Mr.. Hill is in
about the same predicament that

The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the iugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter. but if a scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
home to the public parallel fact; that
the stomach is the most vulnerable organ
out of the prize ring as well as in it. We
protect our heads, Threats, feet and lungs
but the stomach we are utterly inditfer-
ent to, until disease finds the solar pleXuS
and knocks US out. Make your stomach
sound and strong by the use of Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and
you protect yourself in your most vulner-
able spot. Golden Medical Discovery ="

The Golden Medical Discovery has a

But 1t Costs Too Much to Keep This

Uncle Sam is wealthy, but he finds
that it takes a surprising amount of
money to support an automobile.
The officials of the treasury depart
ment gasped this week when they
looked over the report of the col
lector of customs at San Francisco
and found that it cost $3.50 to run
the official auto during the last six
months, or about So for each bust
ness day. In addition, a $1,4OO
clerk has been installed as chauf-
feur. The collector in his report
acknowledged that the automobile is
expensive, but he asserts it is not
a luxury but an absolute necessity,
taking into consideration the con-
dition of the city.

"a corporation has been formed

poses.)
On Jordan's stormy banks l stand
And cast a wistful eye
Across the stretch of barren sand
The stream has been pumped dry.
weary pilgrim, here l wait
My fevered brow to lave
But by transcontinental freight
They've shipped the bounding
wave.
Long time ago I turned my feet
Fair Jordan's banks to strike
The river glimmers in the heat,
AS dusty as pike.
I see across to Canaan's land
Where shovel, scoop and dredge
Are loading up the soil and sand
And setting fields on edge.
On Sinais mount the drills now hum
And blasts fill all the air
They're quarrying new tablets from
The rock formations there.
Each hallowed spot that once l
dreamed
A place serene and dear
Is now with excavations scanned
To make a souvenir.
With Sinai carved in tablets small,
And Canaan boxed in pecks,
And Jordan held in bottles tall,
This thought my soul must vex:
Do we now face the dreadful day
And is it near at hand,
When sinners in hurry may
Get their religion canned?

PASSING OLD GEORGIA NOTES
Using WORTHLESS BANK BILLS
OF AN ANCIENT VINTAGE.
state Treasurer Park Notified of the
Operations of Swindlers i'll
Parkway Colorado.

Some sharp swindlers are work
ing a shrewd game way out in Colo
RADIO with old and worthless Georgia
state bank currency. State Treasur-
er R. Z. Park has received a letter
from E. w. Balfour, cashier of the
Bank of Evans, Evans, Col, enclos'
ing a SO note of the Merchants and
Planters Bank of Savannah, one side
of which bore the date of June II,
1856, and the other side June Z,
1859.
Mr.. Balfour stated that several of
these notes had been passed on the
customers of his bank as good mon
ey, and he wanted to know if the
state was redeeming them. OF course
the notes are worthless, the issuing
bank having long ago gone into
liquidation.
But the note in question received
from Mr.. Balfour bore evidences of
a shrewd manipulation on the part
of the swindler. The difference in
dates was at once suspicious, and
then the bill was much thicker than
the ordinary paper on which the old
state bank currency was printed.
A closer inspection developed the
fact that it was really two notes of
the same bank pasted together in
such a manner as to make it look
very much like a good bill.
