beard, of the same color as his hair is
curly, and although not very long, is
parted in the middle like his hair
His eyes are rather severe and shine
like the sun; it is impossible for any one
to look him long in the face.
when he scods he inspires fear, but
very soon he himself begins to shed fears.
Even in his most severe moods he is affa-
bic and benevolent. 1t is said that no
one has even seen him laugh. and that he
sheds tears very often.
Every one finds that his conversation
is agreeable and attractive. He is not
seen very often in public. and when he
appears he carries himself modestly.
His manners are very distinguished
he is even beautiful. 1t is perhaps be-
cause his mother is the best looking wo-
man ever seen in these parts.
IF you wish to see him, o Caesar. as
you wrote me once, let me know and
shall send him to you.
although he has never pursued any
studies he is well up in every branch of
knowledge.
He goes around barefooted and with
out head cover.
Many people make fun of him when
they see him coming. but as soon as they
are in his presence they tremble and adj
mire him.
1.-THE Hebrews say that they have never
seen a man like him. nor heard teachings
like those he imparts.
MANY believe that he Is a god and
others assert that he is thine enemy, o
Caesar.
These naughty Jews give me much
trouble. They say he has never given
trouble to anybody, but that, on the con-
trary, he tries to make every one happy"

Theme for Comic Opera.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
Some of our comic opera librettists
should hasten to take advantage of the
story that went the round the other
day of a yankee sea captain who has
been made vice admiral of the Turkish
navy and commander of the Sultan's
fleet. Working their imaginations
hard, they will hardly find plan with
richer coloring than this sea tale Com
plications without number could grow
around such a stage hero as this real
man would make and he could greatly
amuse an audience by getting out of
scrapes threatening to be international
But if the imagination could not fur
nish him with enough funmaking ma
terial there could be used for one scena
the Fourth of July incident in the true
story. The yankee captain himself
must have had barrel of fun as he
put the Turks under shin through
games and the like that are part of our
deliberations of the national holiday.

TO WORK RICH PAGERS
COMPANY FORMED WITH CAPT. TAI OF s5,ooo,ooo TO WORK
 ON ttAssAYAMPA.

One of the three Phoenix companies mentioned some time since in the Ga zette as having been organized for the purpose of working the placer fields of the Hassaya ampa has incorporated as the Hassaysmpa Placer Mining Company.
 The corporation is capitalized at $5, 900. 900, and its officers are: Frank Cox, president; James Bursor, vice president: Sims Ely, secretary and treasurer: Jas. E. Bark, manager, all of Phoenix.
 The company owns twenty-eight claims. or 560 acres, and the bed of the Hassayampa river for six miles is covered by these claims.
 Greater values even from the sur. face have been obtained here than the average at Orovile. The gulches and washes from Rich Hill some twenty miles north. and from which millions in gold have been picked up by pros pectors in the past. have for years been, depositing their wealth in this vicinity. The dredging process con temple ted by the new company should yield the investors rich returns. From the best information Obtainable the old Hassayampa river will rival the richest diggingS ever discovered in the Klondike.-GaZette

INJURED BY TRAIN.

George French. who claims 10 be a machinist by trade, staggered into the city yesterday bleeding from numer- ous wounds and with a broken arm. French told a wonderful story of how he came by his injuries. He was re- moved to the hospital where his in- juries were attended to.
 According to French he had been drinking heard in the city on Tuesday night and early yesterday morning he started out on the Southern Pacific tracks to walk to Benson. He says that he went on for several hours and finally becoming tired, he lay down on the tracks and went 10 sleep. Accord ing to his story the last thing that he remembered is that he pillowed his head on one of the rails before going to sleep.
 The next thing that French knew he was lying on the side of the track. The blood was trickling from his face and there were pains in all parts of his body. He staggered into the city. although he claims that the scene of the accident was at least five miles from Tucson.
 French's story is accepted with some reluctance by the authorities, who be- lieve that he got mixed up in some sort of a brawl. It is difficult 10 un- derstand how his injuries were inf1ict- ed by a train. If it is true that he lay his head on the rail. the authorities cannot reconcile the present state of preservation of that member and the story of French The antecedents of the man are to be looked into.-Citi- zen
