at Thatcher, recently returned from
a trip to the Dos Cabezas mountains
in Cochise county. There has been
discovered a ledge of fine native
marble, and Mr.. Adams quarried a
large quantity and hauled it to
Thatcher by team. The native mar
bic takes a high polish, and were the
ledge nearer the railroad it would be
of considerable value. The ledge is
about fifteen miles southwest of
Bowie.-Bulletin.
The Douglas Dispatch last week
had an interview with B. F. Cheney,
of-Beston, a director of the Santa
Fe, in which Mr.. Cheney was quoted
as saying that the Phoenix & East
ern, the Santa Fe branch running out
of Phoenix to Florence and east, had
been sold to the Southern Pacific and
that as a result Phoenix could not
hope to be on the main line of the
Santa Fe. Several weeks ago
story appeared in Phoenix stating
that the Arizona Eastern, the South
ern Pacific line running east from
Phoenix had secured the Phoenix &
Eastern.
1t is understood that the United
Globe Mines, controlled by the Old
Dominion company, of Maine, will
shortly declare another dividend of
$3.50 per share which will permit the
Old Dominion company, of Maine, to
declare a dividend of so cents a
share. There are $4,000 shares of
stock of the United Globe Mines, par
value 800, all of which is owned by
the Old Dominion company, of
Maine. A dividend of $3.50 per
share on the United Globe returns
the Old Dominion company S149, 800
which is sufficient to pay a dividend
of 30 cents per share on the Maine
company stock. This is the second
dividend declared by the United
Globe company under Old Dominion
management, the first having been
paid December l last, when the Old
Dominion company, of Maine, de-
clared an initial dividend of so cents
per share.
Del Lewis, the stalwart eX-sheriff
of Cochise county, circulated among
his many Tombstone friends last
week, coming up from his ranch be-
low the city, where he has an ideal
farm from the proceeds of which he
is rapidly growing rich. Del's pock-
cts we're inflated as though in their
ample reCesses were stored sample
bales of alfalfa hay, but such was
not the case. Del has just sold
mine, and it was plentiful supply of
the coin of the realm that caused
his pantaloon pockets to bulge out so
prominently. When Del tires of
uperintending his ranch he breaks
the monotOny of the reaper's tireless
song by going out and selling a mine
for a few thousand. "Everything
to he who waits,'' but the big
ex-sheriff doubts the wisdom of the
sage quoted. Del is always "doing
hence his unvarying
uccess.-Prospector
The Benson Press, with w. G.
Shinn as editor and publisher, is
again a welcome visitor to this office.
The Press suspended publication for
a few weeks, its former editor, Mr..
having amassed sufficient
means with which to engage in
ranching and cattle raising. The
field of journalism is not an untried
venture to Editor Shinn, who has
been a moulder of public opinion,
creating commonwealths, construct
ing railroads and directing humanity
to higher sphere of existence since
the early COS, when his patriotic i'm
pulses asserted themselves and he
mounted the tripod in favor of states
rights, defending humanity, excori-
ating Quantrell and redeeming Kan
sas from a condition of brigandage,
to accomplish which he also employed
the sword. Mr.. Shinn wields facile
pen, and Benson in particular and
Arizona in general are fortunate in
having so able an editor to draw pen
pictures of future greatness and pOr-
tray by word painting the unequalled
opportunities that here await capital
Drawn and enterprise. The Benson
Press is bound to be success
E. H. Hartman, the head of the
Southern Pacific railway, informed
the San Francisco authorities that if
they failed from other sources to OBJ
tain money to rebuild the city, that
he would furnish 100000 600 for that
purpose. Mr.. Hartman has shown
the people of the United States that
he is not only the head OF a great
railway system, but that he is a
grand character also.-Enterprise.
