IN HIS EAR.
Five Years, and Then Came
out-A Grain of Pop Corn
Leon Flett.
Leon Flett

Leon Flett. better known to his
juvenile friends as "Timmy" F1etf,
has an ear that deserves more than
passing notice. For fv e years il
carried grain OF corn in one Of
its secret chambers. and alb the
time served Timmy perfectly as a
hearing organ, and at the end of
that time yielded back the little
grain in as good condition as when
it disappeared. 1t was grain OF
pop corn of little more than the
usual size. Timmy got it in his
ear one day in the same way that
boys of nine, as he was then, do
all sorts of things to themselves i'm

enterprise in which they eng age
At the time, the incident made
quite stir in the Flett family
Timmy's ear was searched, gong
ed in and explored with a great
deal of assiduity and with consid-
cradle variety of implement. The
pain that, for a time accompanied
the presence of the grain made
these explorations the more fire.

consulted, but even that scheme
came to naught so far as finding
the corn was concerned. By and

Timmy included. began to think
that after all it was a mistake and
there was no grain of corn inside
the boys head.
But they were all mistaken
There was a grain of pop corn in
the lads ear, and it was big one
of its kind. 1t came out Sunday
after five years of hiding in the pa

and in the process of diving, got
water liz his ears. Boys have sev-

of their ears on such occasions. One
is to tip the head far over on one
side and strike it from beneath.

A Happy Xmas
 Greeting to All

Christmas, the day of all holidays, is about to be ushered in upon us. The day is lo'ked forward to by the civil ized world as it brings with it sweet memories of it's previous coming and leaves behind it joys to not be for gotten. It is made an occasion for the bestowsl of gif:s and diffusion of good cheer, spreading incense and making happy those about us. Those of the prosperous confer offerings upon the less fortunate, permitting rays of sunshine to steal into the hovel and warm the heart of the needy if only for brief time. It is . beautiful GUS tom that will in vogue as long as man exists. It is . holiday in fact when all labors cease and the world becomes akin. The PRosPEcroR hopes that its readers may enjoy the Yuletide to the fullest hope of anticipation. and as the printer desires to share in the fes- tivities of the occasion there will not be any paper issued from this office tomorrow.

To Create Park at
 Arizona Petrified Forst

A bill will soon be introduced in congress to create new national park at the petrified forest of Arizona. in cluding not only the three immense forests south of Adamana station, on the Santa Fe, but also the sections discovered last spring John Muu, em- bracing what is known as the North Sigiilaria Forest and Blue Forest.
 This enchanted wonder ought to be protected from the hand of the spoiIer and saved for the American people. The petrified forest is out of the ordi- nary; it is thousands of years old; the trees are branchiess, lesfless and rain . bow colored, ard the logs won't burn It is one of the oldest and oldest things in the country.

Enormous Cost
 Of Securing juries

It took from September IS to No
 vember 30 to impanel the jury that
 tried Shea, the president of the teamsters' union at Chicago. To gel the twelve iurymen 6,S00 veniremeu were called at an expense of S2O, 400 The judges salary amounted to $2,- 800; the stenographers fees $I 800; the the prosecuting attorney drew $I 300; the hotel bills were sl 800; the bailiff's fees $4S0, and the un lucky tive ve got Thanksgiving dinner that cost SIS. The total expense at the day the trial began was $2S, ,49S.
 It is the most expensive jury ever impaneled in any country, and illus tra.es the absolute folly of our system of jury drawing. It takes for granted that any mans prejudices will out weigh his oath, and so puts a premium on bad citizenship. It takes for grant ed that an intelligent man who reads the papers and has opinions on public matters is too pig-headed to be just or honest. It gives the advantage in citizenship to ignorance and an every day disregard of our country's we'll being.
 There should be no reason why any honest, intelligent citizen, who com prehe nds the value of an oath and loves his country better than his own i'm mediate, selfish interests should not sit as a member of any jury. And all who can claim to be good citizens must fill that description in letter and spirit.

Col. Epes Randolph
 Has Fl Tigre Mine

That the Southern Pacific will con- trol the Fl Tigre mine, now that the Cananea court has decided this hard fought suit in favor of the Csnanea claimants is the belief of many. At Cananea, a few days since the court ordered that the Ensenada people be given possession within fifteen days. Colonel Epes Randolph of the South ern Pacific is president of the Ense- nada. The Douglas Dispatch sees in this the possibility that the Southern Pacific will extend it's line from Guay- mas into Douglas, tapping the El Tigre mine with the result that Doug. las will get another great smelter.

What It Costs To
 Mine For Copper

Copper is now selling for over 90 cents per pound. What this means to those mines which have generous lodes and economical management can be gauged by the fact that at the Wolverine mine during the last financial year it cost 63 cents per pound to mine, mill and market the copper produced The Calumet < Hecla produces its copper at a cost of 8 cents per pound, and there are several mines managed skillfully and operated upon large scale which are worked for less than 10 cents per pound. Two years ago, conservative estimates of future profits were based on an average price of I3 cents. A mine that made any sort of profit then is bonanza now.
