THE ANITA MINES TROUBLES

Conditions at the Anita property, which has been leased for . long term to the Arizona Slueltiug Co.,. have been 60 unsettled under the new management that until uow no definite word could be given to future expectations. Affairs at that camp have. however. esttled down finally 50 that a definite statement can be published.
 The old eynlicate that operated this< past winter, with Todd C. Woedworth a. manager. and L. A. Gillett as ~superintepdent. have leased the, property to tho Arizona SmeItinga Co, as ahovs noted, which, epupspy has cub leased tho same to Messra.s L'Engle
 ,Itiis understood that the smslt- ing ooppapy. however, stands liable, fpr all bills contracted and business tr.ssactsd gby thess gentlsmep.a Under tue present mapayemept. shippepts: of q lower grade lime ore than heretofore. have bean :goius fer~ard to tbs smelter tashe used a asx.
 <sAn ,unshccessfui attsnapt at ecn.s tracting the mining of the ores was made. Mr. Malloy, having the contract, moved out with a large force of men and tried the ground out for twoaveeks without satis- factory results, and withdrew hem the contract on July let.
 It seems that the trouble hts mostly in tie fact that the new people are vein miners, and not conversantNSn Snoush with the spotted natun of these surface deposits to inskse successin mining the ore, as tke. characteristics of these ores change suddenly and the work requires eonsts ut care and thorough knowledge of the ores.
 Since the exit of Mir. Malloy. the .leassrs have imported some iity men, and we understand that they expect to fill the quota up to eighty. and are working Nhe same themselves. It is to be hoped that they will be successful in the venture. although it is reported that the labor now employed is, for the most part, foreigners. which fact is to be deplored.
 Mir. Gillett has been acting as ageut for the owners under the lease, and will do 90 until all of the business of the owners outside of the lease is settled. He has re- quested relief some time since, as he is operating the old Eastern Star property for MT. Woodworth, and arrangements have been made whereby in few days NIT. R. II. Cameron will look after the in- terests of owners under the lease. In addition to the loading plat: form, bin of some sixty ton capacity has been constructed ou tine property. and at present about two cars daily of low grade ore ara being shipped.
 We understand that two moro hauling outfits are being engaged and the intention is to ship in tho nsigLborhood of eighty tons daily. At that rate of shipping. however. only a snall period of operatiou is anticipated.
 Considerable complaints have reached town by pen who bave been quitting tue Apita mine on account of the boarding house. This information seeWs to be re- liable az miners have quit in squads of eight to sixteen often in the past ,wo weeks. A different system has, however, been establiehed in the, boarding house and we truet that it will result in the."full dim nsr 'pail'' Tor the' mat, >.Nbo makes the tonnage

 At the conclusion of each and every number on the big program of events. favorable comment was heard from the visitors. and at the. depot. as they were about to leave the city, many fattering remarks were heard concerning the royal way ws entertain strangers who come to visit us. E
 Promptly at 9:3O o'clock the biz parade started, and led by the band boys clad in different cults and impersonating all classes of people, began our customary triumphant march through the city which was witnessed by mass of periodically enthusiastic people which lined both sides of the street.
 At the conclusion of the parade the ztreet sports begun with an indian snake dance. which was a most interesting and fascinating event.
 A Squaw Race was the following number which pleased the crowd very much and was won by Dolly,
 A Buck Race demonstrated the fleet footedness of the Indian, and the crowd loudly applauded the winner.
 A Mexican Chicken Race proved to be sight we'll worth witnessing.
 One Leg Race was another very appreciative attraction.
 And among other sports offered were the. following. every one of which evoked outburts of applaa.e;
 Chicken Pulling Contest
 Egg Race.
 Buck and Squaw Dance.
 Indian Wrestle.
 Mexican and Indian Race.
 Running High Jump.
 The street sports being concluded the crowd dispersed and wended its way home to satisfy the crav- ings of hunger and to get ready to attend the doings at the track i'll the afternoon, which started with remarkably good game of base ball between the victorious nine of the previous 1ay-Ash Fork = and Winslow.
 During the first, second and third innings Ash Fork had things her own way. and then it was give and take for quite awhile, until Wins low walked away with the honors by score of r to 13.
 Had it not been for errors made by both teams the result of the game would probably have been more even. Both hines are com. posed of good players, and the large assemblage of spectators were well pleased with the battle. 
 During the progress of the game the crowd had an opportunity oi witnessing another interesting part of the program, which was several races. as follows:
 Indian Race, } mile, 1st prize $500; 2d prize $2.OO.
 A special attraction of the after noon was three-quarter mile dasl, between Sweetheart" and "Junnia Nell" Robert Miller, mounted upon Sweetheart" came under the wire first, capturing the prize of $135.OO. with Lawrence Dunn, astride of "Junnia Nell" close behind. for the second purse. $50 co Ladies Saddle Horse Race, I mile, 1st prize, $25.OO, won by Miss Ella Brown; 2d prize. $10 o0, given to Mrs. Ritter. =.

In a certain Denver church ON
Thanksgiving day a bright new half
dollar was noticed in the aisle by .
woman in one Of the pewA She was
wondering how she'd get 1t. and, glanc-
ing around to see If her discovery haa
been noticed, she saw q woman direct
ly behind her looking at the coin. The
first woman feared the second would
"beat her to It," 30 she put her hand
over her mouth and whispered:
allow shall get that half dollar I
Just dropped"
"You didn't drop that dropped
It" replied the other.
The women were both wondering
how to get the half dollar when a man
came along with the contribution box.
As he offered her the box a woman
across the aisle from the other two
said to him:
II Just dropped half dollar on the
floor. Would you be 50 kind 40 to
hand it to mey'
The man picked It up and gave It to
her. The other two women, although
they are neighbour, haven't spoken 10

NEW GAME ON TRAINS.

About Man with Cards and Far Toe
Sure-Thing Bet.
A forlorn Individual, with a 'tele-
scope" grip in one hand and an empty
pocket book in the other, enlightened
the detectives at the union station the
other day concerning the latest wrinkle
in confidence games, according to the
Kansas City Star. The melancholy one
had just been relieved OF $50 by q
couple Of chance acquaintance on q
train.
This IL how It happened" said the
traveller: II was coming from Okla
homa, and after leaving Fort Scott sat
in the smoker with q man who got on
ak that station. We chatted a bit and
were watching q game Of cribbage
among some travelling men across the
aisle when q man came through the car
with pack Of playing cards in his
hand. He stopped by the cribbage play
ers and asked them to buy the cards.
They refused, so he turned to our seat /:
Gentlemen he said. I'D like to
sell these cards. They are of unusual
y good quality, and I'll sell them for
the price of an ordinary deck
"Let's see,' said my seat mate, TAX
ing the pack. 4 don't see anything re-
markable about these. They look like
ordinary 25-cent cards to me-
"'All right replied the owner Of
the cards in an offended tone; If you
can't distinguish the difference in the
quality of cards, there's no use in my
wasting time talking to you
HE reached for the pack, and as II
was handed back to him one Of the
cards fell to the floor, apparently uR'
noticed by the owner. My seat mate
however, saw the card fall and said
banteringly:
"'Those cards may be extra dne, but
I'll bet there is not full pack there

dignantly at my seat mate.
"'You say you willT he exclaimed
