IN THE cHIRIcAHuAs.
Paradise Record.l The Hilton

The work recently done on the HisI- top lead property was very effective The total number of days of work amounted to about 200 Operations were carried on in the long tunnel, which is in 240 feet
 The 100-foot winze, 125 feet in, was cleaned out and sunk a few feet deep CT. As the ground is soft, the winze had cayed in, so that the work of cleaning out was almost as tedious as the sinking of new winze would have been. The ore improced all of the way, and in the bottom the en- tire winze, with the exception of one corner, was in a good grade of lead sulphides.
 The old upraise, practically contin- uing the ore vein of the winze just referred to, was completed, making a connection with the old 50-foot Dunn shaft, the vertical distance from the surface to the tunnel being about 100 feet.
 Thus the ore vein is developed prac- tically continuous, vertically for 200 feet, making one of the best shaft showings in the district. More than 2000 feet of work has been done on this property, which is admittedly one of the best lead mines in the southwest Though ore is mostlg1ead and silver, a 40-foot shaft 1--T iIIE5iI15z51 T51i7f75z5 in ccpper-A2d the ore vein enntin- ues all the way~ It is believed that ore will all turn ineo~Sopper with sui ficient depth.

The Secret.

From his farm Judge Blank was in the habit of supplying the preachers of ali the churches with four, corn, hay and vegetables free of cost. He also kept the country supplied with venison from the herd of deer which he kept for many years. He built a big smokehouse in the rear of his grounds. One night unseen himself, he saw a man emerge from the smoke house with side of pork on his shoul- der. He recognized the intruder, but said nothing. 4 week afteFward the fellow approached him, saying, Judge, understand you had some meat stol- en from your smokehouseY' The old judge raised his hand deprecatingiy and said: "Shl No one on earth knows anything about that but you and me.1-Argonaut-

 Twenty-Five years ago when barely of age, Mir. Easley made his debut as a railroad man. This was is Mis- souri and Mir. Easley commenced at the bottom as brakeman. He soon became conductor but none of theys positions were big enough for him and he commenced at an early age to work into higher positions with amazing frequency. lie has seen ser vice in every position from brakeman to division superintendent and the ex- persence which he has derived from actual contact with all the different phases of railroad work has been in- valuable to him.
 Early in his railroad career Mir. Easley has attracted the attention of H. U. Nudge, who was at that time a young railroader, who had little bit the start of MT. Paisley. The two worked together at various times and a close friendship existed between them from the very first of their ac- s...ns-4avNa ..-htnh hoe inanravad with continuous acquaintance. in 1900 Mir. Easley was later appointed diyss- ion at Wellington, Kas. MT. Easiey was later appointed division super intendent of the Rio Grande division at san Marciai, N M He was trans ferred to Newton from there but was later transferred back to Las Vegas where he was superintendent of the New Mexico division.
 When Mir. Nudge was elected vice president of the Rock Island, F. C.. Fox. who was at that time superin- tendent at Newton, was appointed general superintendent to succeed Mir.

Denver.-Denver's Day Horse Show
program Saturday closed one of the
best live stock shows ever given west
of Chicago. Fully 1000 people were
on the grounds during the day. Fred

Stock Show, estimated the attendance
for the week at $4,000, with an average
daily attendance OF better than 1000,
including big shippers and stock rails.
ers from all over the country.
Although the expenses Of the show
this year were fully $4,000, the asso-
citation will finish with possibly $1,000
or $4,000 In the treasury for next years
show. An Office will be kept open for the
purpose Of arranging for next years
show, which is incended to be made u
national affair.
The Stock Yards company an.
nounces that during the coming year It
will erect coliseum similar to the
live stock pavilion in Chicago, ms
permanent home for the show, the es.
timated cost to be 100000.
The feature OF the show next year
will be the horse show, and negotia.

New Varieties Of Sin.

The real weakness in the moral po.
sition Of Americans is not their atti
$ude toward the plain criminal, but
their attitude toward the quasi-crimi
nal-the "criminaloid." Let a promI
nent man commit some offense in bad
odor and the multitude filings its stones
with a right good will. The social
2ynching of the self-made magnate
who put away his faded, toil-worn wife
for the sake of a soubrette proves
that the props of the old morality have
not rotted through. Sex righteous.
ness continues to be thus stiffly upheld
simply because man has not been in.
venting new ways of wronging WON.
an. So long ago were sex sins recog.
nized and branded that the public,
feeling sure of itself, lays on with
promptness and emphasis. The slow.
ness of this same public in lashing
other kinds Of transgression betrays,
not sycophancy or unthinking admira.
tion of success, but perplexity. says E.
A. Ross in Atlantic. The prosperous
evildoers that bask undisturbed in pop.
ular favor have been careful to shun
or seem to shun-the familiar types
OF wickedness. Overlooked in Bible
and prayerbook. their obliquities lack
the birthstone smell. Surpass as their
misdeeds may in meanness and cruel.
ty. there has not yet been time
enough to store up strong emotion
about them. and so the sight Of them
does not loose the flood of wrath and
adherence that rushes down upon the
long-attained sins.

The Chinese have long been credited
with the invention of gunpowder, but
Prof E. o. Won Lippmann. of Halle,
has collected evidence to Indicate that
this is mistake. and that the Arab.
ans did not, as commonly stated, in.
troduce gunpowder into Europe dur.
ing the eighth and ninth centuries.
Prof. Won Lippmann believes that the
manufacture of the first gunpowder
was based upon the "Fire-book" of
Marcus Graecus, which appeared in
Constaninople about the middle of the
thirteenth century. This was the
source from which Roger Bacon, AL
bertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas
derived their knowledge OF gunpowder.
The first use Of gunpowder to drive
projectiles is ascribed to monk,
Berthold Schwarz. whose discovery
was made accidentally while preparing
the mixture for medicinal purposes.

The Higher Obligations.

| Recent events have made impera
tive some consideration of the ethics
of giving testimony. Every one de-
spises talebearer. Even the children
call such a person "tattletale," and
justifiably look down upon him. The
tnformer is a spy, breaker of good
faith, violator of the sacred laws OF
hospitality. Loyalty to family and to
friends is the cement which holds So
ciety together. Trouble comes when
men act upon mistaken view of what
constitutes loyalty to society at large,
that society which is but an aggrega'
ton of families and friends. The ex-
istence of orderly government depends
on the observance of certain laws, un.
punished disobedience to which pro.
duces anarchy. When crime is commit
ted, every person with knowledge Oh
dt is under moral obligation, when
asked, to tell what he knows. In some
cases the obligation extends SO far as
to require him to volunteer informa.
tion against his friends. The mainte
nance of order and safe government
is of SO much greater Importance than
the protection of law-breaking friends,
that the state justly conceals the
crime or who assists the guilty to es.
cape. This rule is the result OF long
experience, and its justice is nowhere
disputed. Yet, in practice, it is diff.
cult to enforce it, says Youths Com
panion, because of the prevalence OF
false standards growing out of abhor
renee of the informer. There is nc
high school principal or college presi
dent who has not come in contact
with these false standards in his at.
tempt to maintain discipline. There
is scarcely large city in the country
in which members of the police force
have not at some time or another been
actuated by belief in the mistaken
notion. In the army and the navy a
similarly false idea of the obligations
of company loyalty has many times
confronted the commanding officers,
as II the men regarded it as of greater
importance that half dozen friends
should be saved from the consequences
of their misdeeds than that the body
OF national defenders should be pre-.
served from those who would under.
mine the foundations of all orderly
institutions.
