Shears & Sawbuck

Shears and Sawbuck kept a store,
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell,
Wouldn't let 'em have a smell.
Fetched their money-but by Jing!
Couldn't buy a blessed thing!
Couldn't meet 'em face to face
An then sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade is what they sought,
Folks who'd pay for what they bought
Fore they saw it, hide or tail.
They sent catalogues by mail,
Out to every blessed one
Getting mail at Possum Run.
We set up at night and read
When we'd orter been in bed.
Books was bout as big as sin
Had a lot of pictures in,
And a list of merchandise,
Every kind and every size
Knocked out every country store.
Looked SO straight and seemed SO true
| bit at it-Jim did, too.
Jim's my neighbor 'cross the way
Best man eve worked in hay.
Just let him top off a stack
Sheds rain like a turtles back.
Pleasure jest to see him work;
Never knew OIL Jim to shirk;
Swings a scythe like it was play
Love to watch him in the hay
Well, we like a pair of fools,
Sent of-got some haying tools.
Jim got a harness and a pillow,
l, a range-I see it now.
Drat the thing! it was so light
Used it for a torch one night.
Throw'd the burned thing in the yard
Use it TO- for renderin' lard.
Fore Jim used the pillow an hour
Found the blame thing wouldn't scou
Tried his harness-broke a tug
Sought for solace in his jug
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight;
In the morning, Richard Stout,
Hardware Merchant, baled him out.

it is estimated that over two
hundred landseekers visited this
town. Among these men we
have not heard of a single indi-

Mexican Calls at oshcer's House With
 Pair of Pistols and Belts.

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 2S.-(SpeciaI)-
 Officer Lee Thompson arrested a Mexican yesterday afternoon in Rag town who was found to have on his person two pistols and two belts of cartridges.
 The man went to Thompson's house at o'clock in the afternoon with one Of his pistols in his hand and wanted to see the officer, who was absent
 He finally went away and was later found at 5 o'clock by the officer and arrested It was not known whether he was aiming to invade the repub- lie of Mexico or make a vacancy in Ragtown police force, but this morn ing in Judge McDonald's court it was decided that he didn't mean any great harm and was let oil with a drunk and disorderiy fine of s6.

WILDCAT COMPANIES
 ARE UP AGAINST IT

It is stated that, acting upon in. structions from the president, the postoffice authorities are about to deny to wildcat mining companies and promoters of fake mining schemes the use of the mails, says the Los Ange. les Mining Review.
 No better remedy could be devised for the evils that all men who have the good Of the industry at heart are fighting so earnestly Such a ruling. strictly enforced. would be welcomed by every decent mining man in the country.
 The mining project that is not straight bears upon it's face the ear marks of dishonesty-so plainly that those who have even a fair knowl- edge of the business are no5 to be te- ceived, and wonder at the ease with which frauds are practiced spon oth. CTS

NEW MEXICANS
 AGAINST JOINTURE

A man who has been engaged in l Far1ouS mining enterprises in New Mexico for several years and is well acquainted in all parts of the terri tory is now stopping in Phoenix. He said regarding the statehood question that he believed the proposition would be defeated more overwhelmingly there than in this territory. In the so-called Mexican counties and most Of the counties in that territory come under that class, the sentiment against lointure is almost solid
 The statehood movement in New Mexico, he says, is confined to a con siderable part of the American ele- ments and it is by no means unani- nous on the subject. Comparatively little is heard of the native sentiment while the iointure sentiment is wide y advertised, leading the uninformed to believe that the whole territory wants joint statehood.
 Nearly all the prominent leaders of the hexicans are known to be against 1T and they are the ones who will manage the voting. Loud bowling will cut little figure in any election which may take place on the question
 This mining man believes that the American element is pursuing a short sighted policy in urging jointure, for he said. that if by any miracle the joint state would be formed. the Mex icars would in the beginning take con trol of it and conditions would be worse than they are now This man says that all industries except ccal mining and railroading are in a more backward state than they were ten years ago, and that the American pop ulation of all the towns except AIbu- querque, Las Vegas and Silver City, has fallen of within that period.
 The Mexican influence even under the supervision of the congress of the United States has been stifling and would be much more so If that in- fluence would predominate in the state

 TO PHILIPPINES
Five Troops of Eighth In- faniry Go Through
 Benson Sunday

With five troops of the Eighth In- | fantry of regulars who passed through Benson Sunday morning the town presented a martial appear ance. The soldiers were. enroute from New York to San Francisco, where they will board a transport and go | to Manila.
 It was learned from the officers with the troops that while they were | ostensibly going to the Philippines, they are being sent to Uncle Sam's islands in the Pacific, not because they are really needed there for du- ty, but to be held in reserve in case there is a Boxer uprising in China against the several thousand Ameri- cans who are within the confines of the oriental land ruled over by the Sun of Heaven
 The soldiers were a tired looking lot when they passed through Ben Wednesday and had been travelling constantly.
 Five tourist sleepers for the pri- yates, one standard sleeper for the officers. a buffet car and a baggage car temporarily fitted up as a cooking car. and a freight caboose constitut- ed the soldiers special when it pulled through Benson.
 Unable to withstand the tempta- ton to get out of the cars into the sunshine to have a stretch" the of hcers lined up the various companies Although the soldier lads were with out arms they naturally excited some little comment as they marched along the streets to the hep. hep. hep,"
 Their arms and equipment have already been shipped. The soldiers eat and sleep on the train. They drink at the various stopping places. provided. of course. that they have the price. They do not sit down. however, in a fine diner, but get their rations in the tourist cars. The fare Is prepared in the baggage car be- tween the slecpers of the privates and the sleeper carrying Hae officers.

incomes whose needs and ignorance of affairs make them easy victims to wondrous tales of wealth to be gained by small ventures.
 It is a despicable trade, this spoila- ton of poor people. Its practice has flourished since the earliest days of gold mining, and 1t has. in some de- gree. brought discredit upon one of its most important industries Legis- lation has failed to stop it; end in spite of all the efforts of the press. wildcatters may still live in luxury on a never ending stream of small contributions.
