A PROPOSAL.


Mary Ann, will you be mine?
When you get this tender line
Take your pen in hand and say
When shall be the happy day
If you think that / am fit
To possess your dainty NIT.
It would be my chief delight
To remain at home at night,
Pay your millinery bills.
Never 60 the pace that kills,
Not to chew nor smoke nor drink
Quite a model. don't you think?
All the money could win
You should pleasantly blow in,
Holding out enough to pay
Only carfare day by day
And the rent when 1t was due.
Doesn't that look good to your
/ would never beat you up,
But with JOY would fill your cup.
And If JOY should tritling seem
We would switch 1t to ice cream.
Going slightly. l opine.
Mary Ann. will you be mine?

CattIemen and Sheep terders Dispute
Ri6htS.

A Phoenix dispatch says the old
time fued betwe en- the cattlemen and
the sheepherders threatens to be re-
called to lite in the Kirkland neigh
borhood. A. II. Meadows died sud-
denly recently as a result of wounds
in the groin inflicted by Mexican
herder whom he killed in duel over
the Mexican allowing some of his
sheep to become mixed with the goat
herd of Meadows.
Hot words were exchanged be-
tween the two, and four eye wit
nesses say the Mexican fired four
shots with an automatic pistol before
Meadows secured his rifle and his un-
erring aim ended the life of his as
sailant.
The coroner's verdict was that both
met their death at the hands of the
other. Meadows leaves wife and
six children in poor circumstances.
The incident has stirred up the
Walnut Grove and Kirkland COM
munities and the Cattlemen and
farmers say that unless the sheep
herders cease their encroachments
on their rights that the old time war
will be renewed.

MANAGEMENT, steadastly MAINTAIN

the depth of 125 feet. The 100 foot
level has been reopened and consid-
cradle new development work done
which has opened up considerable ore
of good shipping grade. The west
drift on the 100-foot level has opened
up the vein a length of 40 feet and
shows a fve-foot breast of ore that
runs 6 to per cent. copper. a stope
will also be started in the east drift,
which shows the same character of
ore.
AS soon as the reconstruction of the
shaft is finished to below 200 feet an
other level will be opened at that
depth which will give the company
double the STOPPING ground. Tie
shaft is in ore from surface to the
bottom and the vein is a strong one,
the outcrop extending the length of
the three claims owned by the com
pany. With the increased shipments
of ore which are assured the COM
pany should soon be receiving very
returns to build up a
treasury reserve and in time pay
dividends to its stockholders.

GIObe-ArizOna Starts Shipping.

The Globe-Arizona Copper com
pany, which for the past two months
has been restoring the old workings
and doing much new development on
its property three miles east of
Globe, commenced shipping ore last
week and will henceforth be a aregular
producer of good grade of copper
ore carrying also several ounces of
silver to the ton. For the present
shipments average about ten tons of
ore per day, but the company ex-
poets to gradually increase ship
ments to thirty tons per day as rapid
ly as developments warrant and
teams can be secured to haul the ore.
A hoist was installed last week and
the shaft, 300 feet in depth, is being
enlarged and we'll timbered, this
work having already progressed to

Walkers Weekly Copper Letter.

Copper continues quiet at un-
changed prices. Lake is offered at
25l cents to 26 cents, and electrolytic
at 254 cents per pound. Consumers
are still waiting; but they are show
ing more interest in the market
every day, and it is fact generally
recognized that a large amount of
copper must be bought or contracted
for in the immediate future. Avail
able supplies are so exceedingly
small that break or decline in
prices is as near an impossibility as
anything in trade can be. The con-
sumption demand is easily large
enough to absorb every pound of cop
per that will be ready for delivery
during June, July and August. Pro-
ducers will have no difficulty in SELL
ing at the current level of prices all
the coppers they can send to market.
Europe has been getting along,
during the past three or four months,
with a surprisingly small amount of
new copper. 1t is supposed that con-
sumers there have been using up the
copper reshipped from China and the
remainder of the supplies which they
bought last year at lower prices, and
that they are now in d position where
they must buy more heavily or close
down their factories and mills. The
prospect is good, therefore, that
there will be liberal foreign buying
throughout the remainder of the
present year.
The future of the copper market
is dependent wholly upon the general
business situation. There will be an
increase in production this year, but
for that matter, there has been an
increase every year since copper sold
at cents. This years increase will
be no larger in comparison than
the natural growth of consumption.
The general business situltion so far
shows practically no Indication of
weakness. The price OF pig iron is
advancing and steel rails are being
purchased for delivery as far ahead
as next year. There is a good de-
mand for structural materials, and
the tone in pproximately all lines of
business is about all that could be de-
sired. 1t may reasonably be expected
that industrial development along
electrical lines will be relatively
more rapid than elsewhere, and,
therefore, it is safe to depend upon
continued strength in the copper
market while general business condi
tions continue as favorable as they
now appear.

SIayOnians Leaving Bisbee.

That the number of Slavonians
employed by the local mining COM
panies has been greatly decreased is
apparent from the records of the
local postoffice, which show the num-
Der of international money orders
which are sold, and to what country
they go, says the Bisbee Review.
The number of international orders
going to England is practically un-
changed. That most of the Sla-
vonians who were employed in the
district were single men, or at least
did not have people i'll the old coun-
try dependent upon them is appar-
ent from the very small percentage
which sent money home.
During the week OF the two big
pay days in December, which was
unusually large on account OF Christ
mas, forty money orders were pur-
chased by Slavonians. During that
same week $40 international money
orders we're issued, showing that the
percentage of money sent to the old
world by the Slavonians was very
small as compared with the Cornish
men. During one week in January,
thirty-one orders were purchased by
Slavonias; in February, seventeen;
March, twenty-two; in April, seven
teen; in May 4.
During April there was a big fall
ing off in the aggregate sum of in
ternational money order business,
but even though the number of Sla-
vonian money orders has decreased
to four in May, big gain is already
apparent in the aggregate number of
orders.

NEWS OF TIE TERRITORY.

A telegram was received in Phoe-
nix last week from James E. Bark at
Santa Ana, Cal, announcing that
Mrs. Bark's son, Earl Sears, had
passed away there. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bark had been called to the bedside
by an urgent telegram stating that
the young man had a severe attack
of pneumonia, but before they could
arrive the young man had passed
away. The remains were inferred at
Santa Ana.-Phoenix Gazette.
Almost the limit, as represented
by fine of $3.50, was given Ollie
Reed last week by Judge Rice for the
two assaults he committed IN Doug
las. One of these was upon the per-
son of NJ. O'Connell, and the brutal
ity of it prompted Judge Rice to be
unusually severe in fixing the punish
ment. All the testimony was that
Reed not only assaulted O'Connell
when he was in a perfectly helpless
sendition but that after he had
knocked him down and rendered him
unconscious Reed jumped on his face
and otherwise brutally treated the
unconscious man. Reed thought to
enter plea of guilty and take his
medicine without the introduction of
testimony but Judge Rice would not
have it and insisted on hearing the
testimony in the case. Then devel-
oped the savagery of the assault and
the fine of 5000 was imposed. For
the other charge of assault the addi-
tional $50 was tackled on.-American.
Popular doubt in Bisbee that D. A.
Martin, formerly of Douglas, whose
sad death in Bisbee was detailed,
came to his death at his own hands
with intent, was removed by a chemi-
cal analysis made by DIR. Bledsoe.
The bottle found at his bedside had
contained choral and an analysis of
the stomach of the deceased showed
the presence of that poison. Both
the Bisbee papers pronounced it a
suicide. What prompted Martin to
commit suicide Is not known. There
is no reasonable cause that anyone
Knowns of. Possessing morose and
gloomy temperament, something may
have occurred that sent his mental
depression below normal, and while
in that state the impulse that life
him with overwhelming effect and,
acting upon it, took the potion that
ended his life. Interest in the
psychology of the case is increased
by finding of book of poems which
the deceased had been reading before
he took the poison. The pages were
open at a poem which itself may
have put the tragic suggestion in
Martins mind. The poem was one in
which the imperfections of things
earthly are compared with the bet
ter things of the future state. Mar
tin, so far as his acquaintances know,
had no reasonable cause to take his
life. He had a good position, was
highly esteemed by all who knew him
and a romance which his life had
known should haye frightened it.
The deceased, while well known, had
few intimates. He never spoke of
his personal or private affairs to any
one. Little or nothing of definite
nature is known of his people. To
one or more persons he had spoken
of sister in Scotland, but her ad-
dress is unknown. So his body will
be laid away without loved ones be-
ing aware of his death.-Americap,

LITTLE TOTS RUN
AWAY FROM HOME
FEAR PARENTS WILL PUNISH
THEM
Spend Cold Night Wandering Around
Downtown Streets, Huggine
Each Other to Keep
Warm

Fearing they would be punished for
little troubles they had caused their
parents, Lillian and Vida Watkins, aged
and 8 years, respectively, and their
brother, Wilfred, years of age, ran
away from their home at Fifteenth
street and Maple avenue Friday after
neon and were not found until yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, when Patrolman
Scoffield located the two girls sitting
in the entrance of a new building at
Fourth and Main streets. The brother
succeeded in eluding the officer. The
children were taken to the police sta
ton, where they admitted they were
suffering from hunger, but when food
was taken them they were unable to
eat.
When asked where they had passed
the night they said they had wandered
up and down streets, now and then
crawling into empty boxes and hugging
each other in order to keep warm.
Police officers were instructed to
watch out for the brother and notify
the station as soon as he is found.
The children left their home Friday
afternoon and did not return in the
evening. Their father at once asked
the police to assist him in locating
them, but, although the officers were
notified, none of them reported seeing
the little ones Friday night.
Their father was notified by tele-
phone as soon as they were found and
he fastened to the police station where
he found his little ones and took them
home.

ARCHDUKE'S MAIL ASTRAY
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
VIENNA, Jan. 12.-Scores of postal
officials in the head office here were
given a curious task the other day.
Each had to write on a slip of paper
the words "Halmenhorst" and "Chlu-
mec" once with a blue pencil and once
with a black. Then all the papers were
collected together and carried off to
higher official
All this was because two newspapers
for the Archduke Franz Ferdinand,
the heir of the throne, had been sent
to these two places instead of being de-
livered at the Belvedere palace in vi
emma. The archduke complained of
the mistake and requested that the
culprit should be punished. And so in
order TO ascertain whose mistake 1t
was all the officials handling news
papers were ordered to write the two
places down so that through the iden-
tiflcation of the handwriting the
author of the mistake might be de-
tected
The amusing part of 1t was that 1t
was all in vain and the authorities
failed to discover who sent his high
ness papers astray.

few evenings of practice at an

Most, however, are we'll trained, If
wise to present-day musical opportuni-

a Violinist's career has to embrace spec

backwoods never dreamed of-mathe-

muscles which are most needed In bow
ing a violin, ceaseless sight playing,
analytical studies of concertos by
Spohr Paganini, Mendelssohn. Bruch,
Salnt-Saens and Beethoven. Before
starting in at all upon the manipulation
of so difficult an instrument he must at
least have knowledge of rudimentary
musical matters. 1t is long and ar

teaching the violin or for performance
on the concert hall stage or in the the
atrical orchestra must undergo.

KAlSER'S WAY TO TAME SON
ranges a Match with UnruIy
Prince Augustus

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, Jan. 12.-HaVing failed by
every other means to purge the mind
of his fourth son, Prince Augustus Will
liam, of socialistic heresies, Emperor
William has now arranged his betrothal
to one of the clev crest, most masterful
young royalties in Germany Princess
Alexandria Victoria of SChleswig- Hol-
stein -Sonderburg- -Glucksburg. While he
was studying in Bonn university the
prince allied himself with the most ad-
Vanced set of students, joining their
weekly discussions, in which the exist
ing order of things in Germany was
criticised with all the audacity Of
youth.
Augustus is extremely like his father
in temperament and every attempt to
repress his results in his asserting
himself with more vigor than before.
Princess Alexandra is fairly good
looking blonde, highly accomplished,
energetic and ambitious. The alliance
Is regarded as a somewhat daring ex-
pertinent, for bringing two such fiery
spirits together may spell catastrophe,
but Emperor William believes the prin-
cess win tame his "enfant terrible"
The recent dinner given by Chancellor
Won Buelow to Emperor William re-
vealed the fact that the German en-
peror generally invites himself to dim
ners. If he wants to be a guest of a
member of the diplomatic corps he
gives two weeks notice and names the
guests he would like to meet. But
when he wishes to dine with any of his
ministers he just telephones few hours
before.
If kilograms come for him they are
handed to him Immediately by personal
attendants, and If necessary the en-
peror dictates his reply, even at table.
The emperor always takes his own
fork, an edge of which is sharpened,
so it can be used like a knife, for he
can only use his right hand while eat
ing, his left arm being much shorter
than the right.
He dilutes his champagne with car
donated water and smokes a cigar inn
mediately after dinner. which must not
last longer than an hour. After din-
ner all go to the drawing room, where
everybody listens standing to what the
eIsperor may have to say.
'iIe takes his leave promptly at IL
O'Clock.

the rustic fiddler The theory of the
thing is to get the player into actual
practical work as quickly as possible
just as the country lad who has learned
to scrape a few tunes is encouraged on
the first opportunity to render music
suitable for
"Waltzes, polkas, lanciers, galops,
glides,
Portland fancies, reels, quadrilles and
slides"
and all the rest of the popular dance
repertoire.
In the same way it is of advantage to
the serious student of the violin of
whichever sex to find his way as soon
as may be j a full sized modern
orchestra. Woman students as we'll as
men are found among the violins of
such an orchestra as that maintained
by the New England Conservatory of
Music as an essential part of it's in
struction in Instrumentation, and the
only one of it's kind among American
music schools. The girls, as do the
young men, acquire professional eff
cheney as a result of the training, as
may be noted from the work of those
graduates of this particular orchestra
who are now playing in some of the
leading women's orchestras.

made by Steiner of the Tyrol, sue
cessor of the great Stradivarius, in re-
turn for which 1900 acres of land were
given up by backwoodsman of
western Pennsylvania. The land which
he exchanged, not indeed for a song
but for a tune, would, il held in the
family, have enriched his descendants
beyond the dreams of avarice; 1t is
now the site of the city of Pittsburg.
There are traditions, too, of search
among buildings of the older cities for
the well seasoned spruce timbers that
made some of the American violins of
the nineteenth century almost the
equals of those of the great Italians.
You hear of a famous maker in New
York who used to buy up old rafters
and beams whenever an ancient struc-
ture was razed, some of his finest crea-
tions being made from wood taken from
st. Mathews church at the corner of
Broadway and Houston streets, de-
molished now more than forty years
ago.
American literature, as we all know,
is full of stories OF the peaceful ne'er-
do-wells whose delight in extracting
divine harmony from the fiddle pre-
vented their getting ahead in the world.
Even to this day 1t is a rare rural COM
munity in which some genius of the
bow, "pindling" perhaps, and not much
good at farm work, cannot be relied
upon to keep the light fantastic trip

folks" far into the small hours of the
morning.
