Captain Milton in Trouble.

Tine Tucson Star says: "Captain J. D. Milton, of the United States I'm migration Service, was yesterday (March 13) held by Justice of the Peace Richey to await the action of the grand jury on a charge of assault with deadly weapon, for shooting Tom Johnson, d mining man, in front of Rossi's Sunday night. Bonds were fixed at $500, which were furnished"
 Tuesdays Star says: "As Johnson was leaving Rossi's at 6:3O o'clock Sunday evening in company with his wife, and accompanied by dog, the canine proceeded to mix up with dog belonging to Milton. The latter i'm mediateIy whipped out revolver to shoot the dog, and when Johnson re- monstrated with him. showed the barrel of the revolver into Johnson abdorher: He then pulled back, and shooting over the dogs, the bullet hit the pavement and subsequently, grounded in the left heel of Johnson.
 "MIlton was immediately taken into custody by Deputy Sheriff Jose Esco- bosa and Special Officer Isidor Neustater, and taken to the county jail, where he was subsequently, re- leased under $500 ball."
 Captain Milton is well known in Nogales, where he has resided many years A host of friends here regret to learn of his recent unpleasant mix up and hope he will have no difficulty extricating himself from the trouble in which he has gotten himself.

James R. Bent Busy.

Mr. James R. Bent, the we'll known
 mining man, was in Nogales from So- nora this week, on business for his company. He left Wednesday night, on his return to the Key de Gro group of mines, of which he is the general superintendent.
 was busy making purchases for the mine, and sent forward a goodIy ton mage of general camp and mining sup plies.
 The Tribune Gold Mining and Mill ing Company, which recently took over these splendid properties. has been quietly, but busly, proving the value of the properties, as at present developed. The mine has been thorou ghly examined and sampled by two experts independently, and, sup elementary to these samplings, a mill test was recently ordered. This was completed during the first week of the present month, with results so gratify- ing that the company has definitely decided on the immediate erection of a large nlilling plant, which, it Is ex- pected, will be in full operation before the close of the present year.
 Meanwhile. Mir. Bent has been directed to have the properties re- surveyed, both surface and under ground, and to then proceed with a systematic development of the mine, so as to have everything in readiness to keep the mill supplied, as soon as erected and ready for running.
 The group of mining claims con- trolled by the Tribune Company has an area of over 15O acres, the whole forming compact group, with the Key de Orc and Venado mines as nucleus.
 Friend Jim, than whom there is no better mine superintendent in Arizona and Sonora, is invested with plenary power. He has as his running mate, our respected townsman, Dr. J. l.. Nicholson, who has been appointed financial agent, 10 assist Mir. Bent at this point.
 The company is to be congratulated on it's choice of representatives and we prophecy that the teau, will do credit to the company and to them selves

A BUSINESS PARABLE.
You Cannot Fail to Appreciate the
Point In This Story.

TClHI IN MS SEcTJs
Once a farmer had 1,S0o bushels of
wheat, which he sold not to a single
grain merchant, but to 1880 different
dealers, a bushel each. A few of them
paid him in cash, but far the greater
number said it was not convenient
then; they would pay later A few
months passed and the mans bank
account ran low. How is this?' he
said. MY 1,S00 bushels of grain should
have kept me in affiuence until another
crop is raised. but / have parted with
the grain and have instead only vast
number of accounts, so small and scat
tered that l cannot get around and col
lect fast enough to pay expenses"
So he posted up public notice and
asked all those who owed him TO pay
quickly. But few came. The rest said.
Mine is only small matter, and
will go and pay one of these days." for
getting that, though each account was
very small, when all were put together
they meant a large sum to the man.
Things went on thus. The man got to
feeling so bad that he fell out of bed
and awoke and, running to his gran
airy, found his 1,S00 bushels of wheat
still safe there. He had only been
drer ming.
Moral.-The next day the man went
to the publisher of his paper and said:
Here. sir, is the pay for your paper,
and when next years subscription is
due you can depend on me to pay IL
l stood in the position of an
editor last night. and | know how IL
feels to have ones honestly earned
scattered all over the country in
small amounts. Exchange.

An official of the Congressional II

recently had purchased handsome sci
of leather bound volumes and said:
You had better examine those vol.
umes carefully to see if the Leather
needs feeding. III it is new stock they
will be all right let alone for several
years, but IL they have been on the
shelves for some time the leather will
have lost most of it's natural oil and
become brittle. This applies especially
to books kept in private houses, which
are as n rule much hotter than the book
stacks of large library. There
nothing more attractive than fresh.
well preserved leather binding on q
volume and scarcely anything less 50
than dilapidated, cracked one.
You can add years to the life of a
leather binding and hundred per cent
10 its appearance by rubbing in a little
vaseline with piece of raw cotton
not too much, just as much as the
leather will thoroughly absorb. Where
the binding bends is where it is most
likely to crack. The leather will not
be greasy, as the vaseline will be alb
sorbed. One treatment every year or
two is sufficient unless the books are
unduly exposed to heat."-Washingto
