San Simon lark Rich.

John Lasseter, better known as
San Simon Jack, an old times of Co
chise county, has made anoter small
fortune by selling out his interests
in the "Talon de Orc" in the Arizpe
district, Sonora, about forty miles
south of Cananea.
Jack has during the past twenty
years made number of good mining
locations and has secured therefrom
several small fortunes, but they
failed to do him as much good as
they should. He has a habit of sell
ing a prospect and then coming into
some town and staying until he has
spent all of the proceeds. He then
mounts his horse and rides out of
town. The next heard of him he has
made another strike and makes a
sale and the story is repeated.
In early days Jack had number of
saddle ponies that were feet of foot
and he has cleared up many dollars
by racing them on the old race track
below Tombstone.
The last property he sold was in
the vicinity of Cananea about two
years ago. About nine months ago
he became broke and went off into
the mountains south of Cananea and
located the "Talon de Oro," which
he has now sold and received a good
fiUure

Market For Our Copper.

From Garcke's ''Manual of Electri-
cal Undertakings" an excellent idea
can be obtained of the recent growth
of such enterprises in Great Britain.
In 1896 there were in the kingdom
139 companies, with capital Of $685.
900, while the present number is
$50, with a capital of e222, DAB, 900.
The companies are listed as tele-
graph, telephone, supply, manufac-
turing, traction and miscellaneous.
These facts and figures give good
idea of the demand for copper, which
is of course increasing all the time,
and not only in Great Britain but in
every part of the world. With the
growth of electrical enterprises the
market for copper expands and there
seems every reason for believing
that the expansion will continue for
an indefinite period. We are only at
the beginning of the electrical era.

A Proclamation by ACTING Governor.

To the People of Arizona:
A calamity without parallel in the
history of American cities has over
whelmed the city of San Francisco.
Fire, following an earthquake, has
destroyed the metropolis of the Pa
cific coat. In addition to that, towns
situated near the city have suffered
great damage. The state of Califor-
MIA is in mourning, and Arizona
mourns with her.
California and Arizona are so
closely linked together by ties of
business and friendship that it is
not necessary to dwell upon the
sorrow which fills the heart of every
citizen of this territory.
1t is true that the resolute spirit
of the Pacific coast, which was so
highly typified in the beautiful city
of San Francisco, will build a new
and a greater San Francisco on the
ashes of the fallen city, but that
spirit must be sustained in this hour of
extremity. Thousands of people are
homeless. All their Accommodations
are gone. They need instant help.
He gives twice who gives quickly.
am convinced that every citizen OF
Arizona will be glad to give gener'
ously toward relieving the distress
in our neighboring state.
The work of collecting and for.
wardlng money should be done in a
thorough and systematic manner
To that end, I,.W. F. Nichols, acting
governor, do earnestly recommend
that all boards of supervisors, al
mayors of cities and towns, and al
boards of trade and other commercial
organizations at once proceed tC
cooperate in the appointment Of
responsible committees in the collec
ton of funds. And 1 further recon-
mend, in order that relief may be
furnished quickly, that these funds
as rapidly as collected, be forwarded
to the Honorable George c. Pardee
governor of California, at Sacra.
Wento.
In witness whereof, [ have here
unto set my hand and caused tn,
great seal of the territoy to be
affixed. Done at Phoenix, the cap
ital, this twentieth day of April, A

BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
L know it is early morning
And Hope is calling aloud,
And your heart is afire with Youths
desire
To hurry along with the crowd.
But linger a bit by the roadside
And lend a hand by the way.
It's a curious fact that generous act
Brings leisure and luck to a day.
L know it is only the noontime-
There is chance enough to be kind:
But the hours run fast when noon has
passed,
And the shadows are close behind
So think while the light is shining,
And act ere the set of the sun,
For the sorriest woe that d soul can
know
Is to think what it might have dond.
[ know it is almost evening,
But the twilight hour is long.
If you listen and heed each cry of
need
You can right full many a wrong,
For when we have finished the journey
We will all look back and say:
"On life's long mile there was moth
ing worth while
But the good we did by the way"
FROM reports which the ERA has
received in a somewhat confidential
manner, there is apt to be some land
frauds exposed in the neighborhood
of Bisbee which will keep some

now investigating matters, and if
certain allegat ons are sustained
there will soon he some very sensa-

TWO CHILDREN DROWNED.
Lose Their Lives in MOntezuma Canal
and Stafford Mill Ditch.

Two Mexican children lost their
lives in the valley last week by
drowning in irrigating canals.
About 10 o'clock in the morning
Solomonville was thrown into a high
state of excitement when it was
learned that the little three-year
old child of Abundie Bonillas, was
missing. The child's footprints
we're found on the brink of the canal
and also a few wild flowers that she
had gathered were lying near the
waters edge.
The stream was dragged for sew
eral hundred yards and men were
sent to follow the canal in search of
the body. About noon the body
was found floating on the surface of
the water about two miles below
town.
During the day, word reached
Solomonville from Stafford that the
seven-year old boy of Trinidad Cor,
denes was drowned in the Hill ditch
near that town. 1t is understood
the boy was playing on the bank OF
the stream when he lost his footing.
We are informed that four other
children have been drowned in the
irrigating canals of the valley within
