Out of Work.

One of the senators from Georgia
tells of darby in that state who
sought work at the hands of a white
man. The latter inquired whether the
negro had boat. Upon being an
swered in the affirmative, he said:
"You see that drift wood down the
stream?"
"Yassah."
"Then," continued the other, "row
out into the river and catch it. III
give you half of what you bring in"
The darky Immediately proceeded to
do as instructed and for while
worked hard. Then, of a sudden, he
ceased to labor and pulled for the
shore.
"What's the trouble?" asked the
employer.
"Look hyar, boss" said the darby

Ice skating isn't what it used to

who were recognized as the great
est speed merchants in the world
on the blades of steel, but today,
barring a few in the north and
some of the rink skaters in the
east, the crop is thin
We have no more Johnny John
sons. Donoghues. Nelson's and
Carlsons, which probably accounts
for the fact that the wonderful
100-mile record of Joe Donoghue,
of Newburg, n. Y, still stands.
Joe Donoghue was in his day
without peer on the ice. Man
after man tried to lower his colors
but failed. While following the
sport he was recognized as the
greatest skater the world ever saw.
Donoghue's greatest feat was
his 100-mile performance at SIAM
ford. Conn, Jan. 26, 1893, when he
skatcd 100 miles for fun. Opposed
to him that day were A. s. Frank
lin, of Norway, and John Ennis, OF
Stamford.
The race was announced far in
advance as the 100-mile cham
pionship of America, but entries
were not numerous enough to at
tract notice. Few cared to go up
against the Newburg wonder.
The course was oval, two laps to
the mile and after the first few
laps Donoghue was never headed.
With a crowd of men and women
looking on, the three skaters lined
up for the starters pistol, and at
Sis in the morning were sent
away Donoghue completed the first
20 miles at 9:2S. after one hour Is
minutes and eight seconds skating,
having lowered the time from
1:14.07 3-5. He was mile and a
half ahead of Franklin and two
miles in the lead of Ennis.
The 25 miles were made in
1:31.29, which was one minute
SO 2-5 seconds faster than the 25-
mile record. At 40 miles his time
was 2:3446. being % minutes and
81 seconds in advance OF the best
previous time.
The so miles was covered In
315.59 2-5, or 81 minutes faster
than the half century had ever
been skated before. AS he flashed
over the line at the completion of
the half distance Donoghue turned
to the crowd and said. This is q
cinch." At this time he led Frank
line by six and one half miles and
Ennis by miles.
While on his ninety-second mile
Donoghue was tripped by boy
who, miscalculating his speed,
tried to cross the track ahead of
him. The fall injured the skaters

Tie Mansfield.

There are about one hundred people at the Mansfield Camp, including Man. ager A. B. Richmond and his estima ble family who removed last Sunday from Patagonia into their elegant new six room cottage now being cOmplet- ed. The cottage is pleasantly situated and built for comfort and convenience, having a wide veranda on all four sides and a hallway through the center. The latch string is always out, genial host and charming hostess being ever ready 10 welcome the stranger.
 The large new company store build ing and boarding house recently com pleted Is another much needed improve ment at the Mansfield Camp which is now one of the most active in Santa Rita mountains. E. H. Evans, form = erly manage of the Oasis, is in charge of the stote and head bookkeeper for the company, and Is the busiest man imaginable,
 At the Sweet claim the double com partment shaft is down 25O feet. Three eight-hour shifts are at work sinking it down 800 feet. Splendid progress is being made, Manager Richmond being confident of developing large valuable copper ore bodies as depth is attained, and the proposed connections made.
 Two other shafts are being sunk, a short distance apart on the same claim, from which some good looking is being taken.
 Up Mansfield gulch the company has some fine claims, which greatly en nance the value of Mansfield Mining & Smelling Company stock. On some of these claims which are being vigor- ously developed, high grade copper ore is being mined, some of which was shipped recently with a good profit. As soon as the wagon road now being built is completed, hoistng machinery will be installed and a large force of miners employed.
 With such a man as A. B. Richmond in charge of the company's business, the stock kholders can rest assured every dollar of their money will be honestly expended and accounted for. A number worked for the Mansfield company, have purchased stock which they refuse to sell for double the price paid for it.

 ''O'Brien ran away from Burns from the first round to the finish and only occasionally was the latter able to overtake him. Then O'Brien inva- riably clinched and held on until the referee pried them apart

Exciting Runaway on Railroad.

Tuesdays Tombstone Prospector contained the following account of a runaway between Huachuca Sid ing and Benson:
 Had three cars of lock that got loose at Huachuca Siding last evening started few minutes later serious accident would have oc- cured on the Nogales branch of the Southern Pacific, as the cars would have crashed into the Burro train on it's way to Benson. As the cars passed Fairbank the operator immediately notified Benson to look out for them, and to hold the Nogales train.
 "The cars in some manner got loose from the sidetrack at Hua- chuca Siding, being loaded with large rock that had been taken from the quarry at Patagonia, and started on a wild run down toward Benson The cars passed Fairbank at rate of about 60 miles an hour, making roar like a cyclone and raising clouds of dust. The roar of the cars as they passed through the St David valley could be heard for over a mile
 "When the office at Benson was notified a switch was turned at Benson to turn the cars into a track leading up hill so that they were finally stopped.
 ''The cars made the run from Huachuca Siding to Benson, a distance of 3S miles, in a little over 30 minutes. Had the passenger train left Benson and been struck by the loaded cars, a must serious accident would have happened and no doubt a number of lives lost The track was damaged in several places by the falling rocks from the cars"
