sisteru In Moderation.

Tommy is a lonely little boy who has no brothers or sisters. He Is very fond of three little girls named Ethel, Maud and May. One evening his mother was listening to him say his prayers, and she was rather surprised to hear him add to his petitions, Dear Lord, please send me an Ethel, a Maud and May"
 After he had finished his mother tried to explain to him that they were too poor to have large family like that Tommy listened attentiyely and then wifhout word Topped down on his knees again and offered up this supple nentary petition:
 Dear Lord, mother says we can't af ford an Ethel and Maud and a May so don't send 'em in a bunch. Just send us an Ethel. and when we car afford the rest I'll let you know."-Llp pincott's Magazine.

TOM I. WOOD NAME 0F
 DOUGLAS DEAD MAN
Kidder VIII Have Preliminary Hearing For Killing On
 Thursday

DOUGLAS, Jan. 9.-(Special.)-
 Yesterday on learning that the name of the corpse held for week at the Ferguson undertaking parlors for identification was pretty well es- tablished by Lee Thompson and oth- CTS to be Tom T. Wood, Judge Rice sent the following wire to the chief of police of San Antonio, Texas, where Wood is supposed to have sister:
 Tom T. Wood dead here. Think he has a sister in your town. Don't know her name. Please try and To- cate.p
 Up to this afternoon no reply had been received to the telegram.
 At the request of Ranger Kidder and his friends, Constable A. s. J. Shropshire has sworn out a warrant for Kidder for the killing of Wood The preliminary hearing will be held before Judge Rice tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock
 Unless the unexpected happens then this will be the last act in the mysterious drama. Albert Ryan, now in jail for connection with the box cal robberies, who is suspected by some of being the partner in crime of the dead man, will be put on the stand  The witness may again be confronted with the corpse. It is thought by some that Ryan could tell much if he so desired. It Is even said that the reason he does not do so is from { sense of loyalty to the deceased. Ryar is al intelligent young man. He has a good face. It seems that Ryan haS taken the position that if be lay deat under the same surroundings that ac companied the ki.ling of Wood ht would wish to remain unknown. Ht would not like that his people knev that he died under q cloud and would rather they remain in ignorance O his end. At the recent trial befor' the justice court Ryan made { speech in his own defense. It wa: a speech that did his intelligence cred it and won for him the minimum pun ishment under the law.

w. Goodman is the master mechanic
 nd his skill is often tested in the many puzzling propositions that come to him.
 Very soon, however, the present rt- duction plant of the Moctezuma Coz per company on it's present site will be a thing of the past. In the main offices of the company may be seen daily a square-jawed, keen-eyed man, somewhat above medium stature, with
 countenance and head that indicates the highest order of intelligence This gentleman is Mir. H. Kenyon Burch. and though scarce thirty-two years of age he has accomplished more than some of our best men do in life time. It was his intellect that, to a great
 xtent, planned the present plant, and
 he mountain, perhaps quarter of a new concentrating plant soon to be
 rected in a goesynchinal or saddle of he mountain, perhaps a quarter ofa mile from the present site. This new plant will be larger, contain more ma chinery and be as modern as human skill can make it. Work of grading for the new plant and railroad to it has already commenced.
 Many new improvements are in store for Nacozari; ground has been broken for a new schoolhouse to cost not less than $2O,000; work has been commenced on a new library building and MT. Douglas intends to make it one that will be classed with the best. It will be larger than the Y. M. c. A. l building in Douglas and contain a i large reading room and books of all sorts, bath rooms, billiard tables, etc. The basement, in part, will be occu- pied by the federal post and telegraph offices. Many other progressive pro jects are being considered for the city or, as the people choose to call h. mining camp.
 Mir Douglas and his able corps of assistants have been the only ones who have ever been able to make the | Pilares mines pay. These mines are located about six miles southeasterly from Nacozari and the low grade cop per ore from them feeds the mighty iron maws of the concentrating plant
 The hotel accommodations are first class. The Nacozari hotel is under the management of MT. Robert J. vii son, also a young man, and as genial a boniface as ever came down the pike. His assistant is Mir. W. J. Wool yerton. also as genial as the flowers of May time The guests who stor at the place are sure to be pleased and why not? They always get plen ty to eat. good rooms and good beds
 Wood and water are plenty; health and contentment prevail; peace and good order reign and thrift and abund lance exist in the miniature Kingdom of NacozaTi.
 l On the first of January, 1907. with out the asking, the Moctezuma Cop per company raised the wages of al Its employees and made substantial
 Christmas presents on the preceding Christmas eve.
 One mind rules the place-the mint
 of James s. Douglas; he is the kint
 of NacoZari and his laws seem to b. just and his authority respected.

NEW SALOON LAW.
Is Closing Dram Shops in State or
 Chihuahua.

The Chihuahua Enterprise says: The new saloon law which regulates the number of saloons and proportions them to the population went into ef- feet on Jan. all over the state. The result is the closing of many saloons, especially of the worst class. Here in Chihuahua it is said that over 30 have been closed and about 50 more little "cantinas" will have to quit business. The necessary police and board oI health inspection of these places has been a big job, consequently some Of the saloons that will be closed are permitted to run over until the author ities can get at them.
 Here in Chihuahua the five princi- pal saloons, American Club, La Paris iense, CosmopoIita, Jockey Club and Arlington all obtained permits. Tie city authorities, however. have o5lIged all saloons to come to time about closing at 10 o'clock at night and at ? D. m. on Sundays.

MINING NEWS AND PERSONALS

"Uncle" McGee has been spending the week in Douglas from Nacozari, near where he owns considerable min ing property. He returned to the PIa- ceritas today.
 The Sierra de Cobre is among the very few properties outside of the Greene holdings that Is producing. It belongs to the Copper Queen and is shipping regularly.
 Jim Marshall. the we'll known Ches- teTfieldian Southwestern conductor, is dabbling extensively in mines these winter days, realizing that his trusty punch can't wear forever.
 A. M. Carkreet is up from his camp near Cabullona for spring provisions.
 David W. Hawk is in from the John. son camp, where several Douglas peo- pie own fine properties. Ben x. Will. Hams owns seventeeen claims, form. ing an extension to the old Peabody with the Yankee Doodle on one side and the Arizona and Michigan Devel opment company on the other. The Johnsonians confidently expect a branch of the s. P in a few months which will be known as the Dragoon Mountain and Northern, with Steve Roemer as president. Articles of in corporation of this company have re gently been published and the grade for the road has been completed.
 
 The smelters are suffering from g dearth of fuel material of late. The Copper Queen has been unable to get ioil, while coke and coal are scarce all of which would suggest that the big railroads cannot afford to sprinkle their roadbeds with oil, especially since the Beaumont, as we'll as the coast wells, are weakening. The lumber has not yet arrived foI the new extension to the Calumet and 1 Arizona powerhouse, though all other details are in progress for the accom- modation of the new engine and blower.
 The false work to the Copper Queer stack is rapidly melting down.
