Two tunnels confronted me when
got down to their level. One is for the
northbound and the other for south
bound trains. I decided on taking the
northbound tunnel, but after 7 had
gone about hundred feet I suddenly
remembered that was open TO the
cheerful prospect OF a car sneakins
up behind me and giving me a ride on
the cowcatcher. I thereafter had Lots

Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from Kentucky. Their main source Is the liver-and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Grass state could not remedy a bad liver or the hundred and one ill effects it produces. You can't have good spirits and a bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in a fine condition if you would feel buoy ant, happy and hopeful, bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and successful in your pursuits. You can put your liver in fine condition by using Greens August Flower-the greatest of all medicines for the liver and stomach and certain cure for dyspepsia or in- digestion. It has been a favorite household remedy for over thirty-tive years. August Flower will make your liver healthy and active and thus in- sure you a liberal supply of good spir- it's" Trial size, 25c.: regular bottles. 75c. At all druggists.

The Prospector of Tombstone has given out a statement by Charles Bowman. of the territorial board of equalization. that the reason that the board failed to put the private car lines on the roll was decision rem dered last year in the case of Mohave county against the carlines, the court holding that they were not taxable. This is untrue. Mohave county last year put private car lines on the roll by order of the territ orial board and after this was done the territorial board made an order revoking their former order and ordering that the assessment be cancelled. The Mohave county board refused to cancel the assessment and few of the smaller concerns paid the tax. Attorney Gen. eral Clark notified the board that ID the event of suit the tax levied on the other carlines could not be enforced and no further effort was made toward 1 collection of the levy.

A Denver, Colo, special says: The veterinary department of the state agricultural college has just been pre- sented with the most remarkable freak seen in this state. It is calf about two weeks old, perfectly normal and healthy in every way, except that its heart is located in the dewlap of the neck. The heart is of normal size and is suspended in the loose skin about midway between the head and breast, and there performs all the or dinary functions of such an organ. The throbs of the animals heart can be seen at quite a distance and the organ can be completely enclosed by the ex tended hand and all its action still maintained. The calf takes nourish ment and is in fair condition.

The Albuquerque Citizen need have DO worries over Mark Smith. Arizona people believe in him and if he wants the nom ination of his party this fall he will get it without opposition. Every man, be he democrat, republi- can or socialist, who has worked to maintain the integrity of Arizona will always command the respect and con- fidence of our people.

No Arizona newspaper having the welfare of the people at heart will ever go over to the cause of joint statehood. So far there has not one, so far as we are aware, wavered from the path of duty. The Arizona Re publican and Journal-Miner are just as warmly advocating the cause of Ari- zona for Arizonans as ever and we do not believe that any pressure that may be brought by the administration will ever change them. Our democratic brethren have no reason to change and will remain true to our grand old territory.

New Company to Work Hassayampa
 Piacers.

Among the newly incorporated com pauies for working the placer ground south of Wickenburg is the HasSay- ampa Placer mining company and the corporation is capitalized at 5,OOO, ,OOOS. The company owns 2S claims or 56O acres, and the bed of the Hassayampa river for six miles is covered by these claims. Greater values even from the surface have been obtained here than the average at Oroville. The gulches and washes from Rich Hill, some 20 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- templated should yield the investors rich returns. While it is hard to gain any of the inside facts in regard to the affairs of this company, or the tests that have already been made, from the best information obtainable, the old Hassayampa river will rival the richest diggings ever discovered | in the Klondike.-Journal-Miner.

California Turquoise in Favor.

The turquoise mines of New Mexico and Arizona have lately not been as productive as formerly, says George F. Kunz in report on the production of precious stones in 1905, which the United States Geological Survey will soon publish. The turquoise proper ties of California and Nevada have, however, been incfeasing their out put. Considerable quantities of tur- ouoise have been taken from the mines in the desert region of San Bernardino county. Cal. Many of the stones range from soto several hun dred carats in size. Some of them have sold as high as ,500S each. The color is pale, but it has gained favor, and large quantities of the stones have been sold in the form of beads for necklaces.
