Flair, the companion of Fred Deibel. who was arrested togeth- CT Sunday afternoon for defrauding the Merchants Bank out of $1,210, was ar arigned in the Inferior Criminal Court this morning on the charge of carrying pistol concealed. After hearing the evidence, which was to some extent conflicting, the presiding judge decided to withhold his opinion until Monday. although he said that there was eyi- dence of guilt.
 The woman appeared in company with Deibel and they were both seated very close together the entire time that they were in the court room, and while in the sheriff's office.
 Deibel was asked for a statement again regarding his case. but he said that he was not talking yet He said that the fare at the county jail was all right, but he did not like being put in the "h1li ring"
 Several days ago Deibel made re- quest of the jailers that he be allowed to see Mrs. Flair for at least twenty five minutes every day for the purpose of discussing their case. This privt- lege was denied him.

THE year 1907 finds Arizona again showing an increase in every branch of her mining industry in the way of production. The in : crease, as in years gone by, is not startlingly large, nothing sensation al, but is heavy enough to prove conclusively that the mineral de- posits of the territory are not pockets" that may be expected to "pinch out" after little work of a desultory character. On the con trary, work that is going on in different parts of the territory proves conclusively that the mines are anything but of the "grass root" variety, and that the ore bodies are such as coming centuries will not see the end of. In fact, the stability of mining in Arizona is now established not only in the minds of those of us resident in the territory, but in the mining invest ment centers of the east. Arizona has waited long for the dawn of her day, but the delay would now seem to be at an end and the sun of her period of prosperity fairly risen.

THERE has been some inquiry as to what would be the penalty for a violation of the law passed recently by the legislature prohibiting gambling. The bill passed simply repeals the law providing for a license for certain forms of per centage games. The penalty for carrying on any of these games without a license has been on the statutes always and has not been changed. The crime is a high misdemeanor and is punishable by indictment in the district court; the penalty is a fine of not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars. In case the fine is not paid the defend ant will be confined in jail not to exceed six months.

AFTER TWENTY-SIX YEARS
(By H. D. Johnson.)
from last week. ]

l returned to our camp and had supper ready long before dark. but
 no one came to help me eat it and at g p. m., 1 ate alone and ther
 rolled up in my blankets and hac
 the best nights sleep since l Jeff
 the saw mill a week ago.
 l expected my companions home
 to breakfast but as they did not come, 1 took my rife, small frying
 pan, salt, bacon and loaf of bread and started out to find those elks 1 think 1 went about four miles uI the creek, and the country was quite hilly and somewhat an open country, and in looking, at least
 five hundred yards to my left saw what thought was three elks one quite large, the other two
 ;2edium size.
 As had never hunted elks 1 did
 not know how to go after them, but as they were eating their breakfast I advanced on them only while they were feeding. Quite often l could go a long distance when they were out of sight. 1 think 1 was at least an hour going three hundred yards which brought me within two hundred yards of my game, but at that time I could not see any of them. I must have stood still about thirty minutes, when further away to my right l saw the large fellow walking away but al- most broadside to me. I thought it was shoot then or never, and 1 took as steady aim as I could and pressed the trigger, and as 1 did not see any elk decided my meat was still going.
 I waited long time, hoping to see one of the others but did not, so I walked over to where they had been eating, but no elk was there. I thought I saw blood on the ground, also the tracks of the elks, and had not followed them more than sixty yards, when, in looking some one hundred and fifty yards ahead, 1 saw a small elk. 1 gave the elk steady shot and as soon as the smoke cleared away l saw the elk doing the kicking act. 1 rushed forward to that elk as fast as l could and just before reaching it I saw the other elk 1 shot at badly wounded in the shoulders. I gave him one more shot and had the pleasure of seeing him rolling down the side of the hill. I went up to the other elk and found it dead, it being a female while the first one I shot at was a large male 1 removed the intestines and talk ing the hearts and some of the liver of each, I started for our camp. After walking nearly a mile I discovered it was three D. m. and my frying pan and bread was brought into service and 1 enjoyed a good dinner and almost felt like batting myself under the chin to think I had done such good shoot ing.
 After finishing my dinner I struck out for the camp, reaching there little after dark. My com panions were at home and when they saw the elk hearts they were as pleased as much as I was. The general said that the reason they he'd not returned sooner was that they had sighted a bunch of antelopes and after following them several miles had killed six of them. We remained at this camp ten days, then as the surveying outfit moved west twenty miles we

uoilC ehO SoihS, SdLh PliS oOOue Oii the line between Gunnison and Montrose counties. Here We had some fine sport hunting and killing lots af game.
 I think it was about October 20th when it showed several inches, and on the morning of the 21st the general and MT. Russ discovered three bear tracks, one very large and two small ones. They re turned to camp at once and in formed me of their find and we decided to go after them immediate ly.
 Taking with me a small coffee pot, bread, salt and coffee, we started out and followed those bears until noon when we came to some large rocks and several open ings among them almost at the head of Dead Mans Canyon, and as the tracks of the bears led into one of the holes among the rocks where, as we supposed, was their winter quarters. we secured a large quantity of wood and built fire among the rocks with the purpose of smoking them out. l think we had the fire burning an hour and were about to give up hope of sec ing them come out, when, like whirlwind, the large beer came out and was out of sight before we had time to shoot at her, and a moment later the two small ones followed suit. We directed our shooting at one bear, I think, as one only was killed, the other one following the large bear. The general directed me to follow the two bears while he and MT. Russ went to the head of the canyon, presuming that l would drive them in that direction. 1 followed them about thirty minutes, when glancing ahead l saw the large bear looking back at with an awful hungry look, and while I was not more than sixty yards away 1 did not shoot, but some one else did. The way the general and MT. Russ pumped lead into the bear was a caution. The bear. after being wounded several times, made bee line for me, and l climed on the top of a large rock which was eight or ten feet high, and holding one cartridge in my teeth and one in my left hand l shot at the bear that was then not more than fifty feet away, using the other cartridges as fast as could. but none seemed to stop the beast. l now reached for more
 
 cartridges in my belt and as I done so my feet slipped from under me and 1 hit the ground good and hard, loosing the grip on my rifle As quick as lightning the bear was upon me with it's heavy weight. and about as quick as the samt lightning disengaged myself iron, the bear, and as I did so I saw that one of my bullets had hit her on the end of the nose. disfguring the mouth and lower jaw, and one of my other shots had taken effect in her eye, and I also noticed that she was very sick bear, and instead of following me around the rock she laid down and died. Several shots were fired by Mir. Russ and the general which killed the other small bear.
 We took the two small bears and the hind quarters of the large one to the surveying camp. the hind quarters weighing more than three hundred pounds. and the bear was a silver tip of the most savope kind.
 The general, on his return, said we would pack our burros and leave for Gunnison, which we did the next morning, consuming five days in going. There we parted
