1t was decided to hold the meetings

The initial meeting of the two con

the congregation in a position to do

owned by the Twin Butte Mining and Smelling company, of which ex-May- or David B. Rose of Milwaukee, is president, Superintendent McDermott said:
 T am confident that one of the greatest copper mines of the terri tory will be developed there. l made two examinations of the ground be- fore I assumed the management of the concern, and am well satisfied with the developments since took charge. People here may not believe it, but it is a fact that the output of the mine can be shipped to Fl Paso for S3 a ton, where the treatment charges amount to only SIP a tone, enabling the company to mine and ship per cent copper ore at a profit. The low smelting charge is due to the presence in the ores of high per cent of iron which makes the product a very de- sirable ore to a smelling company.
 He stated further that he had force of men engaged in sinking the main working shaft to the 800 foot level, where a station will be cut and the orebodies. which show a width of over twelve feet in the present workings, explored by drifts and crosscuts.

-xippinu" In Europe.

According to immemorlal usage. Eu- ropean servants are entitled to tips as an assured part of their income. At the hotels the theory is that the land lord furnishes guest a private room and the use of the public rooms, heat and light, food and dishes, but not menial service. For convenience he keeps at hand a corps of servants who will respond to the guests summons, but at his expense. In old times tray eiers were attended by their own serT- ants to wait on them. The modern custom echoes the ancient. The frav- eler no longer carries with him ret inue of servants, because he can hire temporarily those of the landlord. The customary fees are the payment. To avoid fleeing Is really to cheat the sery- ants, who need all they can get. heav- CD knows. A chambermaid at the best hotels receives as wages only about $2 a month. Tipping servants in America Is a Fegrettable imitation of the Euro pean custom without its resting on the reasonable basis of the foreign institu- tions.--Travel Magazine.

Told Who He Was.

The game warden of Colorado was walking out in the mountains on one occasion when he met a hunter with his gun. The official suggested that that ought to be a good country for hunting. Tt certainly is.'' said the hunter proudly. T killed one of the finest bucks yesterday I ever saw, and he weighed over two hundred" It was the season when deer may not be shot without subjecting the hunter to a heavy fine. Well, that is fine one, '' said the warden. "and do you know who you are talking toT' Being assur ed that he did not, the official said. Why, am the chief game warden Of Colorado" The hunter was only taken aback for a moment, when he asked. And do you know who you are talk ing to?' The warden didn't know.
 Well, sir" said the hunter, appar ently much relieved. you are talking to the biggest liar in the whole state of Colorado. .'-Kansas City Star.

The Primitive Violin.

In its primitive form the violin was a direct development of the Tyre and monochord-the strings from the for mer and the elongated box. with it's sound holes, finger board and movable bridge, from the latter. The history of the violin began with the invention of the bow some time before the thir- teenth century, when the voile, or vielle. used by the troubadours, made its ap- pearance. This instrument underwent many changes until the middle of the sixteenth century, when the true violin model appeared. The primitive violin had little or no contour It was not until the thirteenth century that the yielle was scooped out at The waist. The corner blocks were added in the fifteenth century and are attributed to Germany. For nearly a century the sound holes were shifted all over the instrument before they were cut in their proper place and the bridge fixed between them.-Circle Magazine

nnn,t Mhisk Ynur Hat.

Never use whisk broom to clean a hat, either stiff or soft, particularly soft hat, as it gradually removes the fine surface originally on the hat The worst effect, however, is the wearing away of the band and binding by such rough usage. The effect is more quickly shown on the best grades of bands and binding. A fine hair brush, one of curved shape, made especially to use under the curl of the hat, is good. Best of all, however, is a thick piece of woolen cloth. Such pieces are now made in the form of pads, with a strap across the back, so that they can be held securely in the hand American Halter.

NEW TERRITORIAL LAW
 CHECKSIHE 'GROWLER'

The 'growler." the duck" or what ever may be the name of that recepta- cle by which beer is transported from the saloon to the bosom of the family, received a slight puncture last week in Phoenix by which it's usefulness will be greatly curtailed in the future.
 In the hands of the male adult the duck" is as effective a weapon as ever but in the hands of any other person it has a great hole in it now. There are many households in Phoe- nix to which no male adult belongs and the women folks either have to sneak up to the side door of the sa- loon in person, or subsidize the small boy and arm him with letters credeH- tial, duly accrediting him to the sa- loon keeper This has been the fav- orite expedient in many households.
 Complaint had been made to Jus tice Johnstope against the bar of the Hardwick hotel, one of the most or derly and law abiding saloons in the city, charging that beer had been sold to minors. The case was heard last week and it was brought out that two or three small boys had been buying beer there by bottle or bucket for a woman living in the neighborhood. The boys usually brought an order for the beer, though sometimes they mere fly transmitted a verbal order which was honored. One boy though wanted Ia bottle of beer on his own account and forged the name of the woman to the order. He got drunk and exposure followed. Then came the complaint There was no denial of the above re. lated circumstances, but in view of the fact that the saloon had been so law abiding, and the further fact that the practice of which complaint was made was so general, only a nominal fine was imposed.
 But here is where the puncture was put into the duck" The new terri torial law makes a new arrangement entirely. It prohibits the frequenting of saloons entirely by women and boys and District Attorney Bu1lard has served notice that it will be enforced. Another new law makes it easy to enforce this one. That provides for the revocation of saloon licenses and the district attorney says that in cases of two violations of the law relating to women and minors he will go before the board of supervisors and move for the revocation of the license of the offending saloons.

RAMIREZ MUST RETURN TO MEXICO
Will Take Appeal From DeciS- ion of Judge Sending Him
 for Trial

An order for the extradition of Ed uardo Ramirez. the wealthy Nogales customs broker, who is in jail at Tue son, has been issued by Judge John H. Campbell
 Ramirez is badly wanted by the au- thorities of Mexico who claim that he has been carrying on smuggling opera tions on an astounding scale and making thousands of dollars by mak- ing false entries in regard to the weights of imports which he handled on the border.
 Extracts from the testimony given in the Mexican courts are to the eff feet that Ramirez from August 10 to August 30, 1905, made s11,117 through giving short weights of cars passing across the border and that the weight on each car was reduced from 33h to 45 per cent.
 Ramirez has contended ali along the line that he is innocent of the charges.
 The case was concluded in Tucson Saturday night at 9:3o o'clock, at which time Judge Blenman as spe- cial counsel for Mexico and s. M. Franklin, counsel for Ramirez, as well as MT. Morales, who also represented Ramirez, and Assistant United States Attorney Jones, who appeared for the government, had completed their ar suments.
 Judge Rlenman for the prosecution and s. NJ. Franklin for the defense were the leaders in the legal battle which occupied the time of the dis trict court all day Saturday
 Notice has been given by Frank line that an appeal to the supreme court of the territory will be taken by the defendant on writ of habeas corpus.

 Exhausted and out of funds. dis. couraged and hungry, Mrs. Smith reached Phoenix Tuesday afternoon with two small children and her GOV. cred wagon, the horses drawing it showing the effects of their long trip across Texas, New Mexico and part of Arizona.
 Mrs. Smith first applied to Sheriff Haysen for assistance. With his depu- ties, Sheriff Hayden made up a purse for the needy woman and her two children. She was given feed at one of the corrals, and there spent the Dight
 Application was made by Mrs. Smith to the board of supervisors for help, and she was referred to Miss Gilchrist of the associated charities, who in- yestigated her case. and finding it a worthy one gave her money, which was added to by the supervisors.
 Purchasing food enough to last until she reaches Yuma, Mrs. Smith con tinued her journey with a lighter heart. At Yuma she will join her pa rents with whom she will make her future home.
 Alone in the world. her husband having been killed under a falling oil derrick while employed in the oil fields st Beaumont, Texas, Mrs. Smith is the only support of herself and two children, who when they reached Phoenix Tuesday were actually in want.
 Mrs. Smith left Beaumont nearly two months ago. She had plenty of funds to make the entire trip. but on reaehing Abilene, Texas. she was com pelled to go into quarantine, her two children being taken i'll with the measles.
 For two weeks Mrs Smith had to pay doctor bills for her children, feed her horses and furnish food for herself and the two little tots. When re iessea from quarantine her purse was sadly depleted.

 In discussing her trip, Mrs. Smith stated that all along the tiresome jour uey she has taken. her route for the greater part lying through the desert sections of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, she has received kind treat ment
 Alone and unprotected, Mrs. Smith often had to make her camp in cow boy camps, with sheepherders and oftes miles from the nearest habita- ticn but never was she molested, but on the contrary never failed to receive courtesy from the open-hearted west erhers-
 Mrs. Smith was profusely thankful for the help given her at Phoenix and thoagh tired and discouraged she was happy when her local benefactors turned over enough money to her to make the remainder of her long trip.
