then ceased TO breathe.
With something cold clutchlng at his
heart, Mr.. Clarendon hastily lifted out
the black box and raised the lid. He
discovered some soiled collars, few
wornout neckties and new pair Of
shoes. In the small, bare room there
was nothing else that could hold or
conceal anything. The lawyer, stun
ned and dazed, walked down the stair
case and out of the house without a
backward glance.
Outside the fall day had grown gray
or. The wind had risen, raw and
bleak. Mr.. Clarendon felt cold and
proceeded on his way shiveringly.
The news of the death of Mr., Van
Houston had preceded him, so later
when he presented himself at the resi-
dence OF the deceased mans family he
found them all assembled in the draw
Ing room. Lurking under looks OF de-
corous mournfulness, the lawyer could
detect expressions on their counte'
nances of relief and exultant Joy. Mr.
Clarendon had put Off the telling OF
these unpleasant tldlngs as long as he
could, and now thatkhe dlsagreeable
duty was fully upon him he hardly
knew how to proceed.

NEW MINING CAMP FOR BENSON

Sam Mclaughlin returned to Benson this week bringing rich blocks of cop per from the claim recently located by Ed Land, Andy Hamm and himself about sixteen miles east of the San Pedro river, and about sixty miles from Benson by way of the valley road which they travel going to the place. says the Press. MT. Mclaughlin said the ledge is about as wide as the streets of Benson, and he traced it for eight miles. Messrs. Land and Hamm are out there now doing location work, and had the snatt about seven feet deep when he left, from which he took the samples of ore. This is a region which has not been prospected very much and little mention has been made cf it in the newspapers, but it now looks az though 1t may become an i'm portant addition to the number of min ing camps tributary to Benson.

SPECIAL MEETING OF

There will be special meeting of the members of the Bisbee Chamber of Commerce at the parlo-s of the Cop per Queen Hotel this morning. The meeting $ called by President McNair in conjunction with the coming of the Fl Paso businessmen's excursion who will reach the city on Friday.
 Yesterday the excursionists were at Lordsburg and left over the New Mex leo and Arizona railroad for Clifton and Morenci. From there they will go 10 Globe and expect to be in Bisbee Friday evening. Telegrams from the party received in Bisbee yesterday were to the. effect that they were thoroughly enjoying the trip so far, and were looking forward to Q pleas ant visit m Bisbee. Later 8 telegram was received by Mr w. Fl. Brophy asking him to make arrangements al the Copper Queen Hotel for banque-, which the business men of Fl Paso desired to extend to the business men Of Bisbee on Friday evening. As soon as Mir.

BIG CONSIGNMENT OF
 suLPHlDE ORE.

Globe-The famine of sulphide ore which has greatly handicapped opera tions at the Old Dominion smelter for the pas: two weeks, was relieved yes, terday with the arrival of eight cars of the ore from Cananea and Nacozari, Sonora. From adyices the company expects to receive sufficient supply to enable them to continue smelting win four furnaces until the end of the month, so that there will be no reduc- ton in the output of the smelter this month. which had been threatened
 The principal drawback at present is the shortage in the supply of fuel oil. which is caused by a scarcity of tank cars in :he southwest, and there seems to be no immediate prospect for relief The company has decided to use ccal for fuel, which will be sup piled by the Dawson mines in north eastern New Mexico, and which are owned by the Phelps-Dodge company.
 The supply of su.phides from the company's own mines has grown per ceptibly, shipments from the Continent al mines averaging tons daily. The road from the Continental to the smelter is lined with teams. The Gen. tinental is developing into very large mine, which warrants the early con struction of inc extension of the G. V. IG. & N. road from Globe.

NEN TOWNSHIP GRADED AT
 WARREN
Making of Streets Is Being Hurried With All Possible HaSte-Main Street Com
 pleted and Ready for Homes.

The new townsite of Warren Is a most lively place at present, says the Lowell Journal. A large force of men and teams is being worked to its fullest capacity, and from present in- dications lots will be placed upon the market within the next thirty days.
 The main street has already been graded and will be completed within a few days. This street will be 2,300 feet long and the width 110 feet, with fifteen-foot sidewalks and ten feet of planting space leaving a sixty-foot roadway. The street is almost ready for the laying of the street car tracks, the material for which has not yet ar rived.
 Tn the center Of the main street a five-foot conduit will be built entirely of concrete, which will carry all sew CT. gas and water pipes, telephone and electric wires. The top of the con duit will be seven inches below the surface of the street.
 The boulevard leading from the plaza and separating the residence and business portions from the railroad and manufacturing districts has alsJ been plowed and is now being graded. This avenue is also 2,300 feet in length, 300 feet wide at the plaza end and 200 feet wide at the beginning, gradually widening as it approaches the plaza. The center will be plant ed with trees and shrubbery and on each side will he ample roadvays.
 All thoroughfaTes in the coming city will be graded as soon as possible, and none will have more than a per cent grade. The streets leading to the residence portions on the hills will have gradual grade, not to exceed , per cent.
 All the surface on the site is loose soil. and very little blasting has to be done, showing simultaneously as an economical place to build, as there is not an enormous outlay connected with the erection of building in blast. ing out the rock so as to make room for the foundation. This will amount to great deal. as is shown by the large amounts usually expended in eycavating the hills near Lowell and Bisbee.
 A temporary water line has oeen ex- tended to the grounds by the Pisbee- Naeo Water Company, which is used to supply the men and horses.
