The eat more alert than ever. moved nearer the grass plot and cTouched lower. Then there was a movement of the earth in the plot and the cat springing into the air descended with forepaws outstretched. The next thing MT. Balsz saw was dead gopher be- tween the paws.
 The singular thing about this is that the cat had heard the digging for nearly an hour. GOphers dig very rap idly so that within that time this one must have come a long distance. Then, how did the cat know that the gopher would come out of the ground at that particular place?

GOPHER HUNTING CATS
 ACCURATE CALCULATION
He Knew Precisely Where the Ro.
 dent Would Come Out.

Animals have senses so strange as sometimts to seem uncanny. Deputy Sheriff Joe Balsz the other day wit messed the curious capture of a gopher by a cat. He was sitting on his porch and was attracted by the strange ac- uons of a large cat nearby. The cae seemed to be watching a point in a grass plot a half dozen feet away and at the same time listening intently. MT. Balsz made an investigation of the surroundings but could find nothing which could enlist the interest of the cat. which never took its eyes from the tiny grass plot. Now and then 1t would cock it's head from side to side.
 This proceeding went on for nearly an hour and all the time MT. Bais2's interest in it was proceeding. He was certain that the cat could see nothing where it was looking and he there fore reasoned that it must hear some thing. He got down on the ground be- side it and holding his ear close to the earth could hear faint scratching.
 He surmised that the noise was

THE BUCKEYE CANAL
 TO BE SOLD TUESDAY
The Closing Up of the Affairs of the
 ReCeivership.

Tomorrow from the front door of the court house at the hour of one o'clock the Buckeye Canal cOmpany's holdings will be sold under an order of the court. The minimum bid which can be accepted by the receiver, Frank P Trott has been fixed by the court at $31,665 plus the bonded indebtedness of the company which will make the amount of the selling price approxi- mately $75,000. However, if there are no bidders at the sum named. $75,OOO. then that fact will be reported to the court and a second sale will be order ed at which the minimum bid must be $31,665. This sum is the amount the receiver has disbursed during his ad- ministration of the property over and above his receipts from all sources
 It is likely there will be several bid ders on the property as it is known that reports of the affairs of the com pany have been made to several inter- ested parties. MT. Thorpe of the Buck eye Canal company, arrived in the city yesterday morning from his home in Denver, but whether his business is in connection with the sale or not, could not be learned. It is known that Mr. Thorpe is still heavily interested in the Buckeye section, and it is likely that he will be among those who will make bids.
 The receivership under MT. Trott has been largely endorsed by the ranchers who buy their water from the Buckeye Canal company and while the season in which the receivership has been in operation has been largely un- settled as to floods and washouts, the property is now in as good condition as it has ever been, and reports from that section say that some of the best crops of alfalfa have been raised there this last sixty days that have ever been grown at Buckeye.

MICHIGAN OPERATOR IN BIsBEE.

F. R. Kennedy, secretary of the American Saginaw. Warren and as- sistant secretary of the North Butte mining companies, reached Bisbee yesterday from Calumet to remain here for several days, visiting the two properties with which he is connected in such an important position.
 Speaking of the North Butte, of which he is secretary, eKnnedy stated that in the opinion of several of the biggest copper men in the north a general feeling prevails that it will not be long reaching the $1OO mark.
 While he did not care to speak of ficiaIIy for either the American Sagi- which he is secretary, Kennedy stated that extensive work has been planned for both these properties. and that the work done thus far has been fully jus tified by the results obtained.
 Before leaving Calumet Kennedy states that he heard much regarding the proposed consolidation of the Bo- nanza Circle properties. He heard many rumors but nothing official had been given out
 After Kennedy was seen yesterday y it was stated here that his visit was in connection with an important move to be made by the Warren company Bisbee Review.

A FINE PROPERTY.
The Ashley Manufacturing Plant to
Start Soon-New Machines
Good Management.

The Ashley Manufacturing com
pany have recently had the buildings
and wood work of the mill repainted
and orders have been placed for new
and up-to-date machinery, and it is
expected that the Knitting Mill will
be put in operation in very few
days.
Mr.. j. D. Davenport isN president
Of the new company and is live, ON
ergetic and progressive business man,
being also president of the Exchange
bank. Mr.. j. ~. Blackwelder is sec
retary and treasurer, and will have
the active management Of the plant
and is very enthusiastic. He has had
experience in mill work with tho Can
non Mills at Concord, N. c., and will
give his whole time to the manage
ment of the Ashley plant. 1t will be
remembered that he and Mr.. Daven-
port purchased the old plant of the
Newberry Knitting Mill and that it
has been incorporated as the Ashley
Manufacturing company. They have
Il most excellent and desirable prop
erty and it was purchased at very
reasonable figure, less than fifty per
cent of its original cost. The new
concern will put in, as stated, up to
date machinery and will double the
capacity of the plant. They have ell
gagged practical man who under
stands not only the business, but also
is capable of taking care of the ma
chimes.
We should be glad to see this plant
started up, and we have no doubt it
will be made success from the be-
ginning and will be quite an addition
to the many industries of the city.
Messrs. Blackwelder and Daven-
port who have conducted successfully
the past several years wholesale
grocery and jobbing business in New
berry, have sold out to j. w. Kibler
& company, thus giving both of them
more time to devote to the Ashley
Manufacturing company. The trans
fer of the grocery business will be
made on the LIST of July.

MILL TO BE DOUBLED.
Stockholders Decided to Fill Press
ent Building and to Increase
Capital to One Million.

At the annual meeting Of the stock
holders Of the Mollohon Manufacture
ing company which was held on last
Friday it was decided to increase
the capital stock Of the company
from five hundred thousand dollars
to one million dollars, and to build
another cotton mill. This will give
Newberry three cotton mills, with a
combined capital of one million four
hundred thousand dollars.
The equipment of the present Mol
lohon mill will be incresaed during
this year. Two hundred and sixty
four looms will be added, giving the
mill total of one thousand looms,
and the number of spindles will be
increased from>29,952 to 42,952.. Mol
lohon Mill No. will be built as soon
as the directors think it advisable
for the best interests of the stock
holders, very probably within the
next year and almost certainly with
in the next year or two.
This means much for Newberry.
The building of the second mill will
probably increase Ncwberry's popu-
lation by some fifteen hundred. The
enlargement of the present mill this
year will ll\neccssitatc the building of
about fifty additional houses in the
mill village, bringing some three or
four hundred more people to New
berry.
At the stockholdreS, meeting the
following directors were reelected I:
DR.. Jas. Mcintosh, c. T.. Summer, w.
Fl. Hunt, q. f. Wright, DR.. j. S.
Wheeler, S. NJ. NIilliken, Of New
York: Edwin f. Green, Of Boston, f.
B. Wilbur and George w. Summer.
Mr.. George w. Summer was re-elect-
ed president and treasurer. Mr.. T..
B. Wilbur vice-president and super
intendent and Mr.. u. +. Wright sec
retary.
The mill has had Il very success
full year. 1t began operation in
August. 1902. and the fact that it's
capital stock has now been doubled
and the erection of another mill de-
cided upon is an indication of the
ability and success with which it
has been managed. \ three per cent.
Semi-annual dividend was declared,
payable on and after July /.
