A Valentine Party.

An entertainment which deserves
more than passing notice was given
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Simpson on the evening of
February 18th. Friends to the num-
Der of thirty were hidden to a Val
entine party, and Mrs. Simpson was
assisted in receiving the guests by
Mrs. Harry Wright and Miss Rose
Hill. The invitations, decorations,
ana menu cards were in the
oeVlce OF hearts. The decorations
were novel and beautiful. Festoons
of smilax, from which scarlet paper
hearts were suspended, were draped
from chandeliers to each corner of
the parlors; the lights were red
shaded and masses of fragrant car
nations added perfume and vividness.
Hearts were played and much mer-
riment was caused by a shooting
match - blindfolded with bow and
arrow; the lady and gentleman hit
ting nearest the mark-a large
Manufacturing a large heart-shaped
valentine.
The refreshments were dainty and
charming idea was the serving of
salads in heart-shaped paper cases.
LIZ CfCulHS was OHC VI genuine
pleasure, and the guests departed
sometime in the little o'clocks, each
declaring it the most delightful of
functions and the social event of the
season. The host and hostess were
warmly congratulated upon the sue
cess of their entertainment, and
heartily thanked for the pleasure be-
slowed.
At the close of the function Mrs.
Samuel Abraham was presented
with a beautiful heart-shaped, scarlet
satin pin-cushion, accompanied by a
silver cupid hat-pin; Mrs. Mat. Dan
enhauer received two silver cupids;
Or. Balmer received copy of
"Hearts Courageous" and Mr.. Free
man a heart-shaped silver book
mark.

For some time past the Arizona
Copper company have been prepar-
ing to burn fuel oil under their steam
boilers, and it is announced that the
Shannon company will do likewise.
This change has been brought about
by the high price, and also the diff
Guilty, of obtaining steam coal. Fue
oil will be somewhat cheaper than
coal at present prices. The oil will
come from California, and will be
stored in tanks with sufficient ca
pacity to supply the needs for a
month or six weeks. In addition to
this, of course, a supply of coal will
also be carried, so that there will be
no further worry over a possibility of
coal famine. The Clifton-Morenci
district has been rather fortunate in
this respect, as the plants. never were
compelled to shut down for lack of
coal, but on several occasions the
supply was very short.

The Arizona and New Mexico rail-
road company are making many i'm
provements at Guthrie and Duncan.
AT Guthrie an eight room brick sec
ton house is being erected and three
long side tracks are being put in.
Two six-room section houses are be-
ing erected at Duncan, which will be
quite an Improvement to the little
city. The new roadbed along the river,
which was commenced more than d
year ago, has been completed, and
there is now but little danger of a
wash-out along that section, where
many delays of that nature pre-
viously occurred.

From Hayden & Stones circular let
ter: At meeting of the directors of
the Shannon Copper Company held
this week, w. J. Palmer was elected
president to succeed George c..
Gill. Mr.. Palmer is starting immedi
ately for the mines. He has been
with the company during its various
periods of development, and is thor
oughly familiar with all of its details.
Having no other interests he will de-
vote his entire time to the affairs of
the Shannon Company. In the inter-
est of the stockholders in general,
two engineers of high standing are
about to begin an examination of the
company's mines, in order to give the
officials the full benefit of their knowl-
edge and experience. Considerable
investigation is also being made into
different methods of concentration of
that class of ores which are now be-
ing found at the Shannon.

superintendent N. L. Jenkins, of
the Home Copper company, was in
for supply of mine materials and
supplies, and reports the work on
this property in prosperous condi-
tion. Mr.. jenkins has had consider
able trouble with water in the shaft,
but this he hopes to overcome in a
short time, when the sinking will be
continued as persistently as practical
BILE. He has also been engaged on
development work on several gold
claims adjoining the property of the
company, and believes the present
gold excitement is justifable accord
ing to the past history of the dis
Leader.

with modern labor saving devices for
the treatment of ore. 1t is 240 feet
long and contains 80 Frue vanners
and 40 Wiley tables with a room

Harrington brothers, of Silver
City, last tall purchased a ranch
from John Robinson, which was To-
Gated several miles west of Lords
burg and near S. P. track. Recently
they went down to look at the prop
erty, and discovered vein of copper
ore cropping out on the surface
They sank a shaft on it twelve feet
and took a sample of ore which as
sayed Al per cent. The vein is forty
inches wide at the bottom of the
shaft. The probabilities seem to be
that in addition to their ranch they
will soon have one of the best copper
mines in the territory.

During the past week all southern
Arizona was visited by heavy rains,
and in some sections snow fell to an
unusual depth. Rain commenced
falling in Clifton on Friday and did
not cease until Tuesday. The rain
fall was so gradual that the Frisco
lacked several feet of reaching the
danger point. The Coronado rail
road was put out of business Satur-
day night, and did not resume until
Tuesday, which caused a delay in the
arrival of ore for the smelters and
mills. As some snow fell in the
mountains surrounding Clifton, it is
likely a heavy snow fell in the higher
attitudes, but as the season is now
far advanced it will doubtless come
away gradually. No serious results
are now apprehended from high
water. The town of Clifton is being
fully protected by the Arizona Cop
per company, but it will yet be sew
eral weeks before the work is suf-
ficiently advanced to confine big
flood to the river through the entire
town. After the work has progressed
a little further the people can feel
safe against almost any ordinary
flood.

the handling of wheat in sacks.
Furthermore, it might be advisa-
bic to point out farmers that owing
to the poor condition of a great many
cars wheat will lose in weight in
transit unless the ears are put in good
condition. This will cost the ware
house man little money, which will
amount to something in the end.
Referring to the high price of
Calcutta sacks this year the primary
cause Of the increase in price is the
increase in value of jute in Calcutta,
which for this season shows no symp-
toms of declinig as the price for fu-
ture shipments, say, during Novem-
Der and December would make bags
figure out not less than 1-2c each
here. This 1-2c includes the duty
which the United States government
exacts, which amounts approximately
to two cents per sack. We consider
the exaction of this duty decided
on the farmer, and, SO far
asw can see, it protects only few
big manufacturers in the east.

r. S. Booth is one of the progress
sive farmers who has broken away
from the Red Russian habit. He says
that this variety of wheat is not only
a grain of the poorest quality, but
that its growth results in injury to
the soil. The straw of the Red Rus
sian is of very rank growth, and takes
much more from the soil than other
varieties that yield as we'll but grow
less straw, Mr. Booth says that his
method of farming is to grow wheat
on summer fallow, and follow it up
the next year with a crop of oats.
Oats following Red Russian, he de
clares. will yield IL to Is bushels per
acre less than the same crop follow
ing other varieties of wheat.

ABOUT BULK WHEAT.

The following letter was written by
the Kerr, Clifford Co., and deals with
che questioned handling,wheat in bulk
As there appears to be an impress
ton among the farmers throughout
the country that they will get the
same prices for bulk grain as for sack
grain, we take this opportunity of
advising that any bulk wheat shipped
to us will be charged up with costs of
sacks and labor. On present valua-
tion this charge will amount to APP
proZimately five cents per hushel
irresponsible parties have been TO-
menting agitation among the farmers
in the matter of erecting eleyaors
for the handling of grain in bulk.
The maritime laws of nearly all ma
tiaua are such as to preclude the ship
meut IN bulk h. the sailing vessels
and steamer trading from this coast
Until the Panama canal is completed
there will be no change in this re
spect. The steamers which handle
bulk grain from eastern ports ar,
built with specially constructed anC
ventilated compartments, and none
of them could operate to and from thi
coast at the small freight rates which
prevail.
The major portion of the crop i
shipped to Europe, voyage of II ,00
miles, during which vessels cross tn
equator twice and are also subject t
extreme cold. The grain heats i
passing through the tropics and after
wards spoils unless there is ventila
ton. The air spaces between tn
sacks are necessary to keep the graf
in sound condition.
