Second. Tragic
 Death In Month

The sad accident which occurred at the big shaft of the T c M company yesterday resulting in the death of Wm Petit, is the second that has oc- cured within the month and the lives of two brave miners sacrificed to the decrees of an memorable fate, while the perils and dangers that con- stantly beset the hazardous vocation of the miner is forcibly presented when another comrade IS added to the list of casualties.
 The breaking of the king bolt of the cage, it's terrific plunge of 500 feet through two bulkheads, the crashing timbe-s and sudden death of Petit, was reviewed iy the coroner's jury today who brought in a verdict of ac- cidental death.
 Deceased had worked but five shifts, was a young man and recently from
 Bisbee. His relatives live at Creede Colorado, who were notified of the tragic death and pending information regarding their wishes, no funera
 arrangements have as yet been made

Nothing But
 Comedy and Song

It is a good plan to get Christmas presents to be sent through the mails and express into the local offices early in order to insure that the presents will arrive at their destination by Christmas. It is customary to delay until the last possible day and then the packages pour in so rapidly that the service is swamped. Calculations are made on the ordinary mail sched- ule. However, the supposition that mail gets through as quickly in the week before Christmas as at any other time is erroneous.

The recent creation of the Hua- chuca Forest Reserve, in the counties of Cochise and Santa Cruz and the establishment as reported of another known as the Tumacacori, with the preceding creation of the Santa Rita reserve. and the various land grants, comes pretty near wiping Santa Cruz county of the map so far as may be concerned the use of the public dom ain to the people, or any portion of the people
