very promising copper properties in the vicinity of Imufis, and there is in hand work which presages q great enterprise, that will rank among the permanent producers of Sonora. One group of properties is but four miles distant from the camp of the Sonora Bonanza Min ing Company. There they have the Mariana and Promontorio properties. They have sunk a shaft upon a ledge which was but eight feet wide on the surface, and at the present depth has widened to 20 feet, as shown by a crosscut. Drifting is going forward in good ore. Fourteen men are employed. In the Sierra Azul the same com pany has another very promising property named the Alicia.
 Douglas Examiner: Chas. Allen is back again in Douglas, from So- nora, where he has been building a wagon road from Yzabel to the Fl Tigre mine, a distance of about thirty miles, and it is now com plete. The means of transporta- tion of ore from El Tigre will be much better now, and more than hundred tons of ore will be shipped monthly to the Douglas smelters. El Tigre ore is of high grade, and the teamsters who hauled it are mostly Mormons and can Dc depended on all the time. The changes in the lawsuit now pending about this property have very little effect on the shipment of ore. The stuff is in the mine, and it is being taken out and sent to Douglas just as fast as it can be, regardless of lawsuits or anything else.

I remember. says q writer on Irish
Life. the marriage Of the daughter Of

Galway. The father Of the bride was
considered to be decidedly close fsted.
The bridegroom, as well as remen-
Der, was Of a station somewhat su-
perior to that Of the family he pro-
posed to ally himself with. The
wedding day came, but when the
bridal party assembled at the chapel
the bridegroom failed to appear After
waiting long and vainly for the lag
gard the emissaries were dispatched
to his abode to hasten his coming.
They found him snugly ensconced IN
bed.

said the prospective benedict. unless
the fortunes doubled
For an hour and more ipJsrmedia-
ries ran backward and forward be-
tween the chapel and the bridegroom's
dwelling, striving to make terms. while
the bride waited at the altar with such
patience as she could muster. The
bridegroom, however, stood. or rather
lay. firm, and at last the father. un-
willing that his daughter should be
put to shame in the sight Of all Gal
way by returning to her fathers house
unwed, gave way and promised to
double the fortune as demanded,
whereupon the bridegroom got up,
dressed himself and went to church to
be married.

Iaroest Crater on the Earth.

The volcano Aso-sar. in southern
Japan, on the island Of kiushu. pos
sesses the largest crater known on the
earth. It is about fourteen miles
across in one direction. by ten or
eleven in the other, and is surrounded
by walls Of an average height Of 200
feet. Although the volcano is still ac-
tive, it's eruptions consist only Of ashes
and dust Indeed, range Of volcanic
mountains, evidently Of subsequent
formation, extends directly across the
old crater. In these. particulars Aso-
san resembles some Of the craters Of
the moon. where long history Of sue
cessive and gradually enfeebled out
breaks Of volcanic force is graphically
repreSented.

"Tbe luckiest invention in history"

Isaac L. ElIwood was the inventor
Of barbed wire. In his youth he lived
in De kalb, H., and, having Il neighbor
whose pigs trespasse6 on bis garden,
be put up one day a wire fence OF his
own make. This fence oad bafbs and
points on It. 1t was queer and ugly,
bat it kept out the pigs.
1T was a real barbed wire fence,
the first IN the world, and there were
millions Of money in 1t, but young ELL
wood and his friends laughed at its
freak appearance.
'Oce day two strangers saw this
fence, perceived how we'll it kept out
the pigs, realized how cheap it was
realized, in q word, its va!ue-and or
6ereG several tons Of it from Ellwood.
Furthermore, they contracted to sell
for term Of years all the barbed wire
he could produce.

a little factory A few years later on
he had paid back that loan and was
worth a small matter Of $4,000, 600

TRUSTEES MEETING
A Long Session at Which But Little
Business Was Transacted.

The village trustees held their
regular. monthly meeting Monday eve
ming with Trustees Gibson, Myers,
Moore and Torrance and Village At
torney Holden In attendance and
President Lyons In the chair.
In response to notifications the
abutting owners on School street
were present to express an opinion II
they SO desired in relation to the new
curb and gutter that has been put in
during the past summer. All pres.
ent expressed themselves as satisfied
with the exception of l.. Sweet and
Miss Mary Mcclure. Mr.. Sweet
claimed that his property had been
damaged by the raising of thee walk
and Miss Mcclure was indignant be-
cause an expense that she did not
wish and did not feel able to pay
had been forced upon her.
The petition of the New England
Telephone and Telegraph company
was laid on the table until an ad'
journed meeting Friday evening in
order to give the village attorney an
opportunity to look up matters rela-
tive to joint use of poles in the
territory specified.
Considerable time was taken up in
transferring back into the general
fund money taken therefrom to pay
bills that should come out of the
highway fund.
The question of hiring police was
brought up and informally discussed.
Trustee Gibson opposed extending
the service further than the present
program, Saturday and Sunday
nights Trustee Moore said that the
present arrangement was satisfac
tory to him. Trustee Torrance made
some inquiries relative to the cost OF
special meeting and the expense OF
night policeman from the present
time until the end of the village
year. No action was taken and the
matter will probably come up at the
adjourned meeting Friday evening.
The highway and sewer account
bills and a few minor accounts were
ordered paid, but as the clerk was not
present the orders were not drawn.
