 The Morenci Leader says: Talk is again being indulged in looking to- wards the establishment of an electric railway connecting Metcalf with Nor enci.

 From the Clifton Era
 John Wood, one of the smelter fore men at the A. c. works, met with an accident one day last week which re- suited in a badly cut hand, which, however, has nearly recovered.
 "Jack-the-glass-breaker" seems to be doing business along Copper avenue almost every night. Nearly every store along the street has had from one to several window panes broken during the last few months.
 The Era is in receipt of information from Sheriff Jim Parks to the effect that on February lst a license of $50 per month will be required on all slot machines in Graham county. This is in conformity with the law, which henceforth will be enforced all over Arizona.
 General conditions of mining are now more satisfactory in the Clifton Morenci district than ever before in the history of the camp. Quite num- Der of new deals have already been made this year which will put many more miners to work, and in addition to this all mining men are beginning to realize that they now have a good home market for their ores, where they will receive square deal, with quick returns from their shipments. From the Bulletin:
 Judge c. E. Moorman made a busi- ness trip to Tucson the first of the week. Although about seventy years of age, Judge Moorman is as alert and vigorous as men of half his age and holds his place well as successful practitioner.
 There are now two large railroad construction camps within five miles of town and another is expected to estab- fish headquarters near the station this

Miss Arnold turned and looked at him. drawing
a tassel of the grapevine across her lips oh!
she said.
Her manner should have warned him. The sud
den rnirth in her eyes should have warned him.
And vet perhaps because warnings usually
guised as useless scrup1es until too late, nothing
warned Reeve, and he walked head foremost into
the pit that his fancy dug "Of course you know
YOU could do anything you like on the stage? he
said. Everyone must have told you.
Again Miss Arnold laughed, and the laugh was
mellow wandering, genuine and perturblngly merry.
Reeve ought to have known the truth as he looked
in her eyes, but he did not; and he certainly was
to be blamed for not guessing when, in the midst
of her mrth, Miss Arnold suddenly became engag-
ingly grave and turned toward him swiftly and
spoke with something that might might not
have been earnestness trembling in her voice:

I've always wanted"
Reeve bent forward feeling like the owner of all
the New-York theaters, who could make stars and
the drama at will You really wish to go the
stage?" he asked conscious of tremendous lmpor-
lance.
More than anything else in the wOrld!' cried
Miss Arnold in pretty rapture.
Then all Reeves good angels apparently with
drew and left him to do his worst. And while she
told him how serious she was, and how this had
always been her ambition, and how perhaps she
even had some small talent, Reeve swept away
by his Intoxicating sense of being of some faint
Importance in the world. For he had left far be-
hind him in CObetOwn a certain swinging gilt sign
ing with 1T no patronage; and now he was IN
position to act the good fairy the interfering god

wondered, write to Wyndwynner about

step away. Thank yOu-thank you'll" she SAID
impulsively. AT any rate, please know, do

Its nothing-nothng at ALL" declared Reeve
in glow of magnaninity.
Then Mrs. Theodore Mari fiuttered through the
window like a bright moth that belonged outside
and black-and-white moth came with her, OBJ
viOusly in search of Miss Arnold
Here you arel' cried Mrs. Mari decidedly as
if some one had contradcted out of hand. Mr.

he was ungratefully saying over, "she is superb.

which had nothing whatever do with the possible

Two days later Reeve at breakfast was smiling
over Wyndwynners letter. Wyndwynner was of
for the Black Forest for exactly fifteen DAYS and
the babe fair to be a dead loss TO every
body, and he had no doubt that this was his
last earthly vacation, and there were three new

Reeve, who knew music, listened in delight
though he chiefly noted how distracting her profile
against the green.
Go on, pleased" he begged, unmindful of
his prosecutions of Caldwell who had sought to
sing him his opera.
Do you like it," she asked. Il haven't the
words; but don't you fall in love with the air?
She leaned toward him, just grooming a delicious
haunting thing like aria to a fairy opera with
little trills and trppings that might have been

Reeve never knew just how he fell; but-whether
because the setting so persistently suggested the
Casino Terraces or because his head was filled with

suggested something stutfy and forlorn-Recve did

figure and her hair that SUMMER than the mock

Reeve actually had the pastime of holding aside

stood where rift in the trees showed a length of
open sward set with tiny silk paviliOns, like giant
glow-worms tanned to the of the summer
night. The veranda was, by the mercy of Heaven,
deserted.
In the talk that drifted idly, content to anchor
nowhere Ion such night" Reeve whose thoughts
of late were never far from ''Tete-a-tete' ~
reminded, with pleasant glow of self-cOnscious-
ness of the first act of his piece wherein his hero,

he said blankly.
Her Uncle Arnold, he don't like 1t

grimly.

the window while his omelet cooled -
no, he wouldn't"
The face of the heavens and the
earth having thus been considerably
altered, Reeve found with astonish-
ingly swift diScernment that he was
bored by the country, that fishing
was not what it had been a few wears
back, and that there was said to be
malaria in the district. He went
through the entire usual process with
great seriousness. though he did have
the grace to smile when three DAYS
later he heard himself explaining to
Mrs. Applegate that after all it was
a cool summer and that town was Just
as cool as any other place if one
only knew where to go.
In town, having wandered for a
week about the barren streets, Reeve
welcomed a cable message from

SALTON SEA DRYING UP
Colorado River Has Ceased TO +
Into the Desert.

Los Angeles, Oct. 31.-The famous
Salton sea, the creation of the run
away Colorado river, must soon cease
to be. The work of turning the river
back into its old channel has pro-
gressed so that the new river, which
fed the sea from the overflow water,
is falling rapidly and will entirely
cease to discharge water into the sea
within two or three days.
The regaining of the control of the
Colorado came just in time to save
the Southern Pacific from the neces-
sity OF building high line of railroad
across the Colorado desert the water
already being so high that in time of
windstorms the track was endangered
The evaporation of water on the des-
ert is about 10 feet a year, and 1t is
estimated that 1t will take seven or
eight years for the Salton sea to
wholly disappear.

The plaintiff demands an absolute

stances of infidelity are also alleged.

For the capture of w. ]. Sewell, the
defaulting manager of the Potlatch
Lumber company, reward of 5000
has been offered by that company
through Sheriff 7. D. Taylor. Notices
to this effect are now being sent
broadcast by the sheriff's office, and
it is hoped the financial inducement
will cause officers at other places to
be on the lookout for the fugitive.
If the sheriff has any clue as to the
whereabouts of Sewell, he has not
disclosed the same, and apparently
the missing lumberman has made a
successful flight. That he went to
Canada is believed by many, and it
is possible ne may now be in one of
the provinces of that country. How
ever, it is unlikely that he remained
in Western Canada, and there is al
least one officer who believes that he
has gone to England.
Regarding Sewells shortages with
the Potlatch Lumber company and the
Gray's Harbor Commercial company
there are no new developments. Ac.
cordlng to Mr. Kendall, of the for
mer company, it is still impossible for
him to tell what the exact shortage
will be, However. clairrS are being
presented by customers who paid Sew
ell money on their accounts and did
not have the same credited to them on
the books of the company.
Mr.. Howell, who is here to close up
the accounts of the Gray's Harbor

shown a reluctance to appear, and
consequently he is likewise in the dark

That the street improvement pro-
gram will not end when the paving
of Main and Court streets is complet-
ed. is declared by the members of
the street committee. Since the paw
ing work commenced on Main street
Il very decided sentiment in favor of
further Improvement has been created
and as n result the councilmen ex-
pect further petitions for street work.
In speaking on the subject this morn
ing Joe Ell, of the committee. said:
at has been pleasant to find that
the pavement is liked and to hear
those who previously objected to it
now say that they are glad the work
was undertaken. There has already
been some talk of paving the cross
streets for n block on each side of
Main street. Especially have the
property owners east on Alta express
ed a Willingness to have such done.
But it will be so late when the pres
ent contract is finished by the Warren
company that it would likely be i'm
possible to do anything more this VIM
ter.
But during the coming winter the
street committee is not going to be
idle. We will profit by the long de-
lays we had this year and will make
the preliminary arrangements for
work during the winter instead of
waiting until summer
Just what improvements will be
made next year cannot he fully told
yet. However, the macadamizing of
East Court will doubtless be ordered,
and also some Improvement will in all
probability be made IN Water, Alta
and Webb streets in the vicinity of the
