Mr. Peary's safety to Mrs. Peary, who
happened to BIO In the city.

bridgman with questions regarding
the details OF the news he had re-
ceiyed from her husband.
Mr.. Bridgman told her that her hus-
band, while he had failed to reach the
pole, because OF Ice, had now the dis
JUNCTION OF having gone farther north,
having reached 81 degrees 6 minutes,
a point 81 minutes nearer to the North
Pole than that reached by the Duke

FINAL COUNTY BUDGET
 FROM FLORENCE BLADE

The storms of Monday and Tuesday raised the Gila river higher than it has been since January, and boats were in commission at the Florence crossing several days.
 L. s. Powell has sold his Ajax mine situated in the Cottonwood Canyon, adjoining Mineral Hill, to R. L. Bell, of Globe. Mir. Bell is foreman of the Gibson property at Superior and has great faith in all the mining country between here and that place. The Ajax is both silver-lead and copper property and is said to be very prom ising property.
 We learn from a gentleman who just came in from Troy that Frank Watson was at work in an incline and was standing by a skip with his right arm resting thereon, when large bunch of rock dropped out of the roof of the incline and landed on the skip, crushing the bones of the arm from the elbow down into pulp. A fragment of the falling ro:k also struck Frank in the face, knocking out tooth and loosen ing others. The company sent to Los Angeles for doctor and nurse. The arm was amputated just above the elbow. Frank, with characteristic courage, is taking his misfortune cheer fully.
 Ira Peyton, who came down from Christmas Monday, confirms the re- port of the coal strike in the Deer Creek coal fields in the Saddle Moun- tain district. The strike was greater than the first reports made it. The diamond drill cut through seven feet of good coking coal and about 800 feet from this drill hole an old shaft was cleaned out and sunk 40 feet deeper at which point it cut through a tilted coal bed five feet thick. This coal contains but very little slate and iron sulphuretes, cokes well and makes fine fuel for steam purposes. The ground in which these strikes were made belong to the Saddle Mountain Mining company and Gen. Manager Chittenden is now having a road built from the coal shaft to the company's shelter at Christmas, distant 12 miles. Later he will lay track on the grade and operate an electric train between the coal fields and the shelter. He will also install coke ovens and make his own coke. This will greatly reduce operating expenses at the shelter and enable the company to treat low grade ore at profit. This is the first coal discovered in Arizona in commercial quantity, hence the importance of the discovery.

 Copper Era

mining and News Items from ths Copper Era
 Dick Marshall, one of the most suc. cessful mining men of this section. was last week, joined in wedlock to Miss Estella Gray, an estimable young ladv of Missouri.
 The first gold shipment of import. ance made from this section in several years went forward to Fl Paso Satur. day last. The ore came from the Allan and Hill mines, situated between the Rock house on Chase creek and Nor. enci, and consisted of 1000 sacks, which will probably average $l5O per ton.
 On Thursday afternoon last Mrs. Minnie Gum, wife of w. A. Gum, died at the A. c. hospital, after an ill., ness of only a few days. Mir. and Mrs. Gum recently came here from Nor enci, where they resided many years. Deceased was an estimable lady and had many friends in this section who regret her untimely death.
 Nearly all of the copper groups of claims in this district are now under bond, and if the pending deals are con summated there will be but little left for others to pick up in the future. From present indications it would seem that the Clifton Morenci district is about to have good old-fashioned mining boom, and that is what is need ed to bring it to the front.
 In addition to their automatic sam- bling plant the Shannon company are putting in l00-ton track scale. Ar engagements have also been made for additional bin capacity at the smelter to take care of from 4,000 to 5000 tons of concentrating ore and from 1000 to 5000 tons of smelting ore. This will mean ten days supply, and should make the company independent of the Coronado railroad for that period. Ar additional increase of bin capacity is being made at the ore level of the mine.

 E. E. Ellinwood, former district at torney of Yavapai county, but now local attorney for the Phelps-Dodge in- terests, arrived at Bisbee last Friday. MT. Ellinwood is associated with Col. Wm. Herring who is general counsel for the Phelps-Dodge interests in Ari zona with offices in Tucson. To Mir. Ellinwood will be turned over the legal interests of the company in this part of the territory.
 At the St. Patrick's celebration at Tucson a considerable sensation was caused when Attorney John B. Wright, who presided at the meeting, twice publicly slammed Governor Hughes and his newspaper, the Star, while intro ducing speaker. Attorney Wright in his remarks stated that "Tucson con tinues to grow judging from the many strange faces here, despite the Ari- zona Star" He personally whacked Editor Hughes by stating that when a Carriage with nobody in 1t stopped on Main street Governor Hughes got out. !" Inasmuch as Wright and Hughes have been joint statehood bedfellows the question is being asked: Have Wright and the governor fallen out?
 The latest report has it that the third Arizona transcontinental line will be built along the southern boundary from the E. P. & s. w. at Naco, says the Tucson Post. A corps of surveyors are now working their way through Moctezuma canyon. The corps started out from Naco last week, where it was reported that it was making survey for another E. P. and s. w. track in town. In regard to building of the road a study of map of Arizona is suf- fcent to convince one that the route from Naco and along the national boundary line to Yuma offers the most feasible route attainable for a line making for an outlet from this section to the Pacific coast. It is far more feasible than any route apparently obtainable from Benson.
 Advices from Washington are to the effect that the house com mittee has agreed to favor ably report the Mondell bill providing for the endowment of schools or de- partments in mining in connection with state agricultural colleges. Under the provisions of the bill money derived from the sale of lands in the various states and territories is to be devoted to the new department. The amount to be given to each department for the first year is $l0,OOO, and thereafter $l,OOO per year additionally until the amount reaches $20, 900 annually. The states and territories which will be benefited by the Mondell bill are Ari- zona, California, Colorado, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, Mon tana, Nebraska and Idaho. The Uni versity of Arizona will be the benef- ciary in Arizona. and this money will do great deal of good in keeping up the mining department.

miles south of Biggs Saturday morn
ing, caused by too heavy a train. En-
gineer Spear was at the throttle, TAX
ing IA loaded freight cars, beside the
regular passenger, express and mail
cars. Going down the grade the
brake strain on the car following the
engine was too much, causing the
wheel to break and sending it and
four other loaded wheat cars and a
car of hides into the ditch. An extra
engine was called from Shaniko for
the passenger train to complete its
run, and a wrecking engine and crew
was sent from The Dalles to repair
the track. No one was injured in the

Thriving Charleston Cannery.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
past year was very light in the pro-
duction of fruit, the local cannery,
which was built by ]. H. Sprague at
the beginning of the past season, has
done remarkably well.
About 1850 gallons were canned and
put on the local market. Tewlve hum
dred and fifty gallons of this was put
in glass cans and placed among the
local merchants, while the remainder
was placed In tins and handled by the
Lewiston Mercantile company.
During the coming season Mr..
Sprague will enlarge his plant to
about three times the present size and
will also be prepared to handle vege-
tables as well, and 1t is expected this
will in a short time be one of the
leading industries of Charleston, as a
cannery situated here has the advan-
tage of being located in the heart Of
a large fruit raising district.-Lewis-

We Have Accomplished
Just These Things

We buy for the largest and busiest
stores on the Pacific Coast-in Port
land, Ore, San Francisco, Stockton
and Oakland, Cal, Spokane. Seattle
and Walla Walla, WASH, Boise and
Lewiston, Idaho; also Astoria, Salem,
Pendleton and Eugene, Ore. We buy
the best pianos that money can secure.
II we went all over the world with
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
spend on Pianos, 1t would be impossi-
ble-absolutely impossible-to get bet
ter pianos than we have right here in
Pendleton today at our Main street
store-simply because we already
have the best that money can buy:
Chickering, Weber. Kimball and other
splendid makes.
Here, you see, is the combination.
Here every condition is met The re-
suit is inevitable. We must sell more
pianos than other houses-and. of
course we do--a great many more.
We do not only sell more and better
pianos, but we sell them cheaper, be-
cause of our better facilities. The
same grade of instrument sold by
others for as low as S415 and some
times advertised by them as having
been reduced from $780, We sell
for as little at S26S, and even lower.
We not only sell more pianos and
better pianos and at lower prices, but
we sell upon the easiest terms. For
instance, you may come to our store
and take your choice of our beautiful
and extensive line. Pay us $40 down
and SS per month and in a short time
the piano is yours. Or, II you wish
to test the piano, to prove that all we
claim for 1t and more, is true, we Will
allow you to rent any new piano, even
a Kimball or Weber. You pay us
the carriage and reasonable month
ly rent. After a time II you are salts
fled with your instrument you may
retain It. and we will allow you on
It's purchase price all you have paid
us for carriage and rent. IL you are
dissatisfied with It, you may exchange
IL for another piano, and again you
are at liberty to return 1t at any time,
and all you will be out is the rent
and carriage. Either of these Is an
ideal plan for those who cannot az
ford or don't wish to buy outright.

Crook County Tax Levy.

County taxes this year will be no
more than they were last year, the
county court having fixed the levy
last week at 21 mills on the 1905 roll.
The heavy increase in the number
of school children with the attendant
expenses Of more teachers and addi-
tional educational facilities necessi-
tated an increase in the levy for
school purposes, six mills being as
sessed this year compared with five
last year and four and three-fourths
the year before. The levies for other
purposes remain about the same, the
state and county levy being reduced
one mill below that of last year.

inches on the level now covers the en-
