''Now, | knew that at 3 o'clock on
the following morning there would be
cast in this mold a large ingot, out of
which subsequently a coast defense
gun of exceptionally large caliber was
to be forged. In flash the fiendish
design of my assailants came over me-
''When my feet touched the bottom
of the mold l was stupefed. Then
awoke keenly to the danger of my po-

my hours were numbered.
ct is said that in moments of eX-
IRENE peril the human mind operates
with extreme rapidity. During the
space of my incarceration my entire
life flashed before me- as it is said to
do in the case of drowning men Then
my mind commenced to wonder, and [

minutes more of life. / heard men
move about, the creaking and groan-

locomotives rumbled by-all around

it was I, doomed to a fate worse than
death.
'"The special whistle signal always

dictate that the casting was about to be
done. I had resigned myself to my fate
and offered up farewell prayer Sud
denly a soft object struck my head 1t
was a silk hat. / learned afterward
that one of the visitors who were pres

the casting of the huge ingot had step
ped too close to the mold, slipped and
in the effort of righting himself lost
his hat which providentially fell into
the mold and upon me.
Several of the helpers, seeming q

trying to recover the headgear. They
fetched a long pole, affixed a stout hook
to it's end and lowered it into the black
ness of the mold. BY supreme effort

the hook came near me and clasped
the rope binding my hands upon the
hook. Then I felt that efforts were
made at the top to withdraw the pole,
but the same remained stationary. /

..The Almighty Dollar,

A recent headline, Rule of the Dol. lar," has suggested the inquiry, Who originated the familiar phrase, the almighty dollar" It was Washington Irving, in "The Creole Village" which he published in 1887. The phrase be. came so popular and excited so much controversy in consequence of doubt
 whether the adjective were irreverent, that its author had to explain eighteen years later that he had intended no ir- reverence, even to the dollar, which he is we'll aware is becoming daily more and more an object of worship" Dol. lar" is certainly one of the world $ great words now, and it is difficult to realize that it only means "valleyer,' the "thaler" having been named after the JOachimsthal, in Bohemia, in whose valley it was first coined in the six teenth century.-The London Chronicle.

WILL EXTRADITE
 MEXICAN BROKER

An order for the extradition of Ed uardo Ramirez, the wealthy Nogales custom broker, who is in jail here, was issued Tuesday forenoon by Judge John H. Campbell at Tucson.
 Ramirez is badly wanted by the au. thorities of Mexico, who claim that he has been carrying on smuggling oper- ations on an astonishing scale between Arizona and Mexico, and making thou sands of dollars by making false en- tries in regard to the weights of imports which he handled on the border.
 Extracts from the testimony given in the Mexican courts are to the effect that Ramirez from August 10 to Au- gust 30, 1905, made $ll,l ,l77 through giv- ing short weights of cars passing across the border and that the weight on each ear was reduede from B l-3 to 45 per cent.
 Ramirez has contended all along the line that he is innocent of the charges.
 The case was concluded on Saturday night at 9:30 o'clock, at which time Judge Blenman, as special counsel for the republic of Mexico, and s. M. Franklin, counsel for Ramirez, as we'll as Mir. Morales, who also represented Ramirez, and Assistant United States Attorney Jones, who appeared for the government had completed their argu- ments. Judge Blenman for the prosecu. ton and s. M. Franklin for the defense were the leaders in the legal battle which occupied the time of the district court all day Saturday.
 Notice has been given by Mir. Frank lin that an appeal to the supreme court of the territory will be taken by the defendant on writ of habeas corpus.

In direct defiance of the territorial law and in the presence of five hundred people, two boxing matches, or so- called glove contests, took place in this city last evening. Fully two hundred women were scattered throughout the audience and it is known fact that several police officers were in the house but they made no move to arrest the participants. w.. T. Tupper is promot. ing these sparring contests and says he will pull off two matches again this evening, also Sunday night. It is only justice to state that Mir. Tupper is manager of the Iris theater and that the sparring contests above mentioned are nothing more serious than moving pie lures.
