had q pretty good idea of who the "jackrabbit was.
 A short time after the expose of the Spenazuma, the attorney for the com pany, now a prominent mining lawyer of the east, and former state senator of Now York, approached him in Phoe' nix, and after telling him what great amount of damage he had done by ex- posing the Spenazuma, attempted to have him return to the mines and write them up again, showing the pub lie that he had greatly wronged Dr. Flower and his scheme i'll his previous expose, which was ''all n mistake. Mir. Smalley, however, refused, and there was nothing doing in the 'ssquar- ing'' business.
 Fake Holdup Failed
 Previous to his trip to Arizona with carload of dupes, Dr. Flower had made arrangements with number of cowboys to lend a touch of wild and wooliness to the visit of tue customers by fake holdup. The doctor was to fire a shot as signal and the men were to surround the stages and Ego through the party The promoter said he would have several hundred dollars on his person, which loot would pay the boys for their trouble. The doctor fired the shot all right, but there was no holdup and the customers never knew what they had missed.
 A Smooth Customer
 According to Mir. Smalley Dr. Flower is a genial, smooth man. and entertain ing company, but he did not succeed in interesting any Arizona people in his scheme at Black Rock. Soon after the exposure of the Spenazuma, the New York authorities got after Flower and Il warrant was issued for him. He went to Mexico, where he was q fugi- tive from justice for many years, re. turning to the United States but re gently.
 i He is perhaps one of the boldest op- orators in the country and has been backed by men of good character, who afterward gave him up. In the trial of Flower no doubt the Spenazuma fraud will be brought to light again and the eastern people who invested will be shown how easily 1t was done. | No doubt some. of the Arizona parties l who are familiar with the operations at the Spenazuma camp will be subpoe- naed as witnesses in the New York trial where Flower will be prosecuted for ob. .taining money under false pretenses.

Powell youehes for the story that. horse and rider were blown over the dump al the Central mine. Very little work is being done at the Central pending the arrival of steam hoist, boiler and No. j Cameron pump which are expected almost any day now. The shaft is l2G feet deep and water is coming in quite freely Drifting both ways on the ledge is in progress.

FIRST EXPOSE
 OF DR. FLOWER
lContinnel from Paee Onel

(Contlnueu from Page One) bought py Globe parties and is now in use here. There was scarcely any ore in the district developed, and the fab ulous placer diggings described by Dr. Flower wonld scarcely reveal a color. He claimed to have ten square miles of timber, and there were glowing accounts of this wonderful property printed in New York papers-paid for by the stock buyers.
 Exposed by George Smalley
 Very little was known of the opera tions of Flower in Arizona until in quiries began to come to mining men here regarding the mine. In May, 1899. George il. Smalley of Globe, now clerk .of the United States district court here. then mining editor of the Arizona Re publican at Phoenix, was journeying over the territory writing mp mines, when he came across the Spcnazuma camp w. G. Duncan, now located at San Carlos, rode to the camp with smal ley, and together they visited all the workings and traced the ore that had been shipped in. The exposure of the operations of Flower was written by Mir. Smalley and was first published in the Arizona Republican at Phoenix and afterward in the Mining and Scientific Press of New York. The story, which had been refused by several metropoli- tan papers, startled mining men, and the doctor strenuously denied the state ments of fraud and used every means to stop their publication. However, the statements were proven to be true, but even after the exposure was made, thou sands of dollars of stock were sold in the east.
 The company soon gave up it's Black Rock project and moved to the Clark district, adjoining Dory Morris gold claims recently sold. They carried on extensive operations there for some time, but Mir. smalley followed them there and "wrote up'' the new camp in a similar fashion.
 Shot at by Guards
 Here it was that Mr. Smalley almost lost his life because of his determination to put Dr. Flower out of his fiourishing business by taking in the credulous in- vestors of the east. The doctor evident- ly had his camp well guarded to prevent further exposures, and while Mir. Smal- ley was going up the hill toward the camp, shot was fired at him from be- low, the bullet striking the ground with in few feet of him. He continued, however and made his examination, sub sequently exposing the fraud. On his return he met the cowboy who shot at him and the guard told him that he was shooting at jackrabbits. Mir.

UNPLEASANT DUTIES OF cITIZENSHIP.

Most men are prone to perform the pleasant duties of citizenship, and to avoid as much as possible, sometimes to dangerous extent, the unpleasant ones.
 Even in the home there is a disposi- tion to avoid doing one's duty in the matter of rearing children, because in teaching the child the lesson of self denial and obedience there must neces- sary accompany chistisement oc- casionally.
 In politics, men sometimes neglect the duty of voting for principles which he knows are right, in order to vote for friend who advocates principles that he knows are wrong.
