our gratitude is by making gifts to
the church. In line with this fact, as
church, we have planned something
new for the month of November.
Please read the plan carefully, and
try to carry 1t out. No plan of giving

DAMACE ID STANFORD MUST PAY STREET TAX
CITY MARSHAL sTAM6AueH IS PREPARING RECEIPTS FOR
 THOSE LIABLE FOR IT.

DOUGLAS. April 26.-(Special)-
 Marshal Stambaugh is now engaged in preparing the receipts to be used in the collection of the street tax in Douglas for the year 1906. The street tax year begins and ends with the year, and all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 50 are liable to pay it. In the city the only persons ex- empt from payment of the street tax are members of the fire companies. There are about fifty firemen in the city who will not have to pay any street tax. All others will have to pay unless they are maimed in such manner that they are not able to maintain themselves. The mere fact of a missing finger or some other bodily defect which does not prevent man from earning a salary, will not be cause for exemption from the tax.
 The amount of street tax collected by the city for last year only amount ed to $246. This small collection re- suited from the fact that before the city was incorporated in May last Road Overseer Scott had collected the road tax pretty close in this district. county. However, before the incor- poration of the city Mir. Scott had done considerable work on the streets of the city.
 Marshal Stambaugh stated yester. day that the total street tax for the present year in this city would prob ably amount to about five thousand dollars. He has no way of making correct estimate, but places the full amount as near that sum. The officer has already placed the necessary re ceipts for the street tax in the hands of the officials of the two smelters, and yesterday was preparing the re- ceipts for the railroad company. Un, der the law employing companies or individuals are held liable for the street tax of their employees, and are protected in holding the tax from the wages of those who are liable to pay the same.
 License TaS.
 Marshal Stambaugh has collected practically all the license tax due this quarter. He stated yesterday that twelve gambling games were now licensed in Douglas, and that this is the largest number of games that have been authorized to run at any time since the incorporation of the city. The total collections on account of licenses of every kind since the city was incorporated to the present time amount to s34.000.

JOHNSON OPERA
 HOUSE COMPANY.
HAS NOVEL PLAN FOR BUILDING PLAYHoUSES WHERE THEY
 ARE DESIRED.
kinky case. aromOtiou.

DOUGLAS. April 26.-(SpeciaI.)-
 The Johnson Opera House Com pany, which has built houses Of that character all over the east, has it's eyes on Douglas.
 Johnson has a uniform plan, and his houses are as much alike as the Siamese twins. He puts up a three story brick, 60x140 feet including two small store rooms and eight offices, for thirty thousand dollars. The stock company, or whoever authorizes the construction of the building, of course, furnishes the ground. The plan is usually this: The company which expects to own the building guaran- tees that a thousand tickets shall be sold for the first entertainment, to be put on by Johnson, at s10 a ticket. It is all the same whether there is a ticket sold of not, so Johnson gets his s10,0O0. Then s25,O00 more pays for the building, and Johnson obligates himself to place plays on the boards for the season.
 Johnson is strictly reliable. He fur nishes guarantee bonds for the fulfill ment of his contract, he brings his blue print and his artisans with him, and sees that his contract is carried out to the letter.
 Among other cities in Arizona he is negotiating with are Clifton, Jerome, Bisbee and Globe, and he makes the same proposition to Cananea. James K Marlett is his manager in the field.

PLEA FOR THE GRASS WIDOW.

DOUGLAS, April 26.-(SpeciaL)-i
 There are fifty-four divorce cases pending before the present term of the district court, and they are still pill ing in. A divorce case, which usually goes by default, can be wedged in be- tween the regular docket proceedings at any time. It is no trouble to make grass widow at recess, two more just before dinner and half a dozen more after the jury has retired to deliber- ate in some standard case.
 When the court remarks to the lady's counsel, prepare your decree the liberated bundle of palpitating femininity goes fluttering to the arms of husband No. 2, 3, or f as the case may be. They do not have to leave the first floor; they can turn abrupt ly into the office of the probate court, get the credentials and have the cer- emony over with.
 She went upstairs a married woman, she came down a married woman, al though she may have been the wife of different men on the two respective occasions. She is not to be blamed because she refuses to everlastingly glue up to a miserable hound with the vocabulary of pirate and the breath of a Gila monster. If her biscuits do not suit him, let her find some fellow they do suit.
 She is not supposed to efferyesce with joy when he sets in a cinch game till o'clock in the morning, spends another hour on Sixth street, and then comes home and piles into bed with his boots on. In other words, wo- man of sensibilities is not supposed to spend her whole life with brute because she made a mistake.
 Of all rational propositions. the av- craze grass widow is most desirable. If you had married her first, she would have gone on through life imag- ming that the other fellow was the one romantic love of her life After she has taken him, after his beastly conduct and infamous qualities have totally disgusted and disillusioned her silly dream, she is in frame of mind to everlastingly appreciate you. Treat her right and you will have prize. She will have no regrets to harbor She knows from contrast and experi ence that she has the right fellow. This wide spread prejudice against grass widows is the most foundation less and unjust sentiment that ever obtained among a civilized people. IL is a galvanized specimen Of ortho- dox rot which is calculated to lead to hat eand murder; which brings chill dren into the world and rears them in an atmosphere of degradation instead Of love and mutual regard. Think of child being raised by parents who hate and murder; which brings chil- who has the independence and common sense to break away from public opin- ion and do the best she can for her self and hers.
 Long live the grass widow! She has one champion, at least

FOREST RANGERS.

Several young men will go to Ben son on May 10 to take the civil ser vice examination for the position of forest ranger. These positions are much sought after, as they are under the civil service branch and are prac- ically life positions, with chance oi
 At the examination held here last winter there were forty applicants for positions, but of this uc-nber only two succeeded in meeting all the re- quirements. Forest Supervisor Mea- gher's squad, which looks after the Catalina and the Santa Rita reserves, is several men short, so that the sue cessful applicants at Benson are as- sured of positions immediately.
 The examination at Benson will consist of the theoretical as well as the practical.
 The forest service was reorganized some time ago, and the pay is now as follows: Forest supervisor, $500 to S2500; deputy forest supervisor $500 to S1700; forest ranger, S1200 to s1400; deputy forest ranger. s100C to s1100; assistant forest ranger $500 to s900.

MILL AT ORD MAKING.
Preparing to Erect Plant With 200 Tons Capacity on
 Their Property.
SEVERAL MINES NEAR
 CANANEA ARE BUSY.

CANANEA, Sonora, Mex, April 24.- The Orc Maxine Mining Company, which has been quietly pushing devel- cpment on its mine has completed all plans for the erection of a large eva hiding and amalgamating mill. The mill will have a capacity of 200 tons daily, and was designed by w. L. Holmes, of Mexico City and K. K. Clancy, manager of the mine.
 The erection of this mill will mark the successful ending of about two years of incessant endeayor on the part of the Clancy Bros, who control the Orc Maximo. Before starting work on the property it was necessa- ry to complete 13 miles of the most difficult road making and then haul everything by teams into the mine from Cananea, a distance of 45 miles,
 This mine is in the AriZpe district, and is gold proposition carrying high silver values. The ore bodies which will be handled by the mill are very extensive, there being on a conserva- tive estimate about 100000 tons of high grade ore in sight. The mill will commence on ore running as low as $50 per ton and from that to about s2. 900.
 In the last few weeks the Clancy Bros. have purchased the famous Pi- cacho mine of the Phelps-Dodge Co.,, and the Orc Maxine mill will treat ores for both mines. The Picacho mine is only about two and a half miles from the mill-site, and the road between the properties is almost fin ished, and despite the rough country has easy grades. which will greatly ia cilitate transporting ore.
 A small shipment was made two weeks ago from the San Bernardino mine in the Janoverechi district in or der to ascertain the values which would show on a mill run. Ten tons of ore in all were shipped, and after all expenses were deducted, netted the owners s53.50 per ton.
 As this was shipped to Fl Paso by way of Cananea the costs were high, and the owners of the mine, of whom A. s. Judd is the chief, are much pleased with the showing. As a re suit work is being pushed and the force of men is being doubled and it is expected in the near future that new hoisting machinery will be install ed.
 Copper ore of high grade has been encountered ln the Key del CoDre mine of the Arizpe Montezuma Development company, and at much higher level than it was expected. It was thought that the ore body would be encounter ed at about the 200-foot level, but 1t was found at about 105 feet. The ore l bodies in the Alacran, steadily improv' | ing, show to a great extent increased values. The prospects of making a great mine of this latter seem very bright These mines are located in the Manzanals, about r miles south east of Cananea.
 The installation of new pumps, more powerful than have heretofore been used, has resulted in reducing the water, and in a very short time water will cease to bother and delay operations in the Sierra de Cobre mine. The development work is pro gessing very rapidly and favoably, and there is no doubt but that the Copper Queen company, which owns the mine, will have one of the greatest copper producers in the Southwest be fore many months.

DOUGLAS, April 26.-(Speciai.l-
 I fain a letter would receive. As unto the sacred portals I draw near, wherein the reigning goddess doth preside, whence through the general delivery portbole she doth deal out messages of grief and happiness, of triumph and despair, tremble in an- tieipation of seeing the old familiar hand that sets my heart in rythym to the music of the spheres.

Messrs. Smith and McGonnigle, of Douglas, own Q group of ten pertenen- cias about twelve miles east of town, just over the line in Mexico, which has never attracted the attention its sur face showing would justify, owing. no doubt, to the inherent modesty of it's owners. Practically no work has as yet been done on the property. but it is certainly of remarkable interest as a raw prospect. These enterprising young men are planning to open it up on such a modest scale as their means will permit this summer.
