POSTAGE STAMP eRAFrea.

The postage stamp CRATER is one of
the most pestiferous of the TOUGHER"
genus. He bobs up in offices, on the
street. in hotel lobbies. everywhere
and at all times in large cities says
the Record-Herald. Here is the song
he sings:
I'm broke, mister. but don't want
any money. | am locking for work
and have just answered an ad in the
paper, but, to tell the truth, have
only got nickel, and if break that
to buy stamp | can't get cup OF
coffee. Just a 2-cent stamp is all
ask"
1t is too small request to refuse.
and besides there is chance that
the fellow may be telling the truth.
Anyway, it is only a stamp. You pro
duce the stamp, and may give the
TOUGHER" several stamps SO that he
can answer more advertisements for
work. A half day of industry at this
scheme gives any competent TOUGHER
enough stamps to buy little food, a
good deal of drink and nights lodg-
ing. There is no difficulty in dispos-
ing of stamps thus collected, for the
| saloon keepers and other that buy
them-sometimes at discount-know
they have been given, and not stolen
You are the third man that has
| tackled me for a stamp today" said d
man in the lobby of downtown hotei
recently TO young man who wanteG
" answer an advertisement for work.
Here, give me the letter; III stamp
and mail it"
Whereupon, to use the vernacular o.
his Kind, the young man made a sen
| sational getaway via the side en-
| trance.
Akin TO the postage stamp scheme
is the one OF touching for three OF
some other odd number of pennies
TO make up the amount necessary IT,
send telegram home for money.
| The TOUGHER" in this case usually ad
mits frankly that he came to Chicago
and got drunk, spending all his money
| For victims he picks the men tha
look like they might sympathize witt
fellow in this predicament.
"Pm not broke" explains the cadger
because | can get plenty of money
II | can only get telegram to Osh
kosh. | tried TO borrow quarter
but everybody seemed to think | want
ed too much, and would give me pen
nies or plckels. | now lack only Z
cents"
Had the cadger asked for or II
cents he would have been suspected
of wanting a drink, but the odd sun
asked for, usual y serves to throw tn,
victim Of mis- guard. Moreover h'
frankli shows the u cents alread,
collected. 1t is all very plausible ant
any number OF people bite daily.

HE ELOPED WITH YOUNG GIRL IF
 CANAN[A
Now ATtonic YerdugO Faces a Charge of Adultery Brought By Mother of GiH He Is Said to Have SeduCed,

Behind the arrest of Antonio Yer
 dugo in this city yesterday on a
 charge of adultery lies a story of
 wrong doing and the ruination of a
 young girl, Maria Mariscal, whose
 mother travelled here from Cananea
 for the purpose of seeing the alleged Iseducer of her sixteen-year-old daugh-
 ter lodged behind prison bars.
 Two weeks ago, in Cananea, Maria
 was the pride of her loving old Mexi- can mother; yesterday she was taken from the clutches of the man who had lenticed her away from her home with promises of a better and happier life away from the drudgery of a Cananea
 boarding house, place where sho
 would be made the wife of the man who professed to love her and where she would be the mistress of her own home, and the girl, unsophisticated, believed the guile of the adventurer and believed in his protestations of love.
 It was a sad tale that the old lady related through the court interpreter Iyesteraay when she told of the ruinar ton of the young girls life and be seeched the authorities to locate and bring back to her her eTring daughter. It seems that Verdugo boarded at the house where the young Mariscai girl worked as a domestic in the So- nora mining camp. He was pleasing and obliging and soon won the con fidence of the strip of a child that llabored tQ aid her mother in the battle of life. He found a willing listener to his pleadings in the daughter or the poor old Mexican woman, and he ac- demolished her downfall when he en- |ticed her away from her hone to this side of the line.
 Once here. Verdugo found work, but the promised day of marriage never came and the child soon began to
 wonder if the life she was leading was right and proper. To the friends Of |the couple here the story soon be- |came known and word soon reached
 the old mother in Cananea, who at
 once hurried here, and yesterday en- tered complaint against Verdugo. He
 was placed under arrest by officer
 Twomey and lodged in jail. The girl
 was returned to her mother. Today
 they will appear and bear testimony against the perfidy of the prisoner that is if the anathema heaped upon
 the head of the man by the aged
 mother is any indication of what will be adduced at today's hearing when itl comes up before Justice Burdick.

SALE IF BONANZA
 DE C0BRE
Thomas F. Cole and His Asso-
 ciateS Said to Have Taken
 Over More Cananea Ground of Lindsay TaIbot Interests.

Adyices received in Bisbee yester- day state that deal has been closed lat Cananea whereby the Cole inter ests have taken over the Bonanza de Cobre property of the Lindsay-Talbot interests. Negotiations that are said to have been pending for some time to- ward this end it is claimed, have cul- minated in the taking over of the prop. erty by Cole and associates.
 Of the so-called independent inter- ests in Cananea, the Bonanza de CoDre- is the largest, it's ground comprising 700 pertinencias and adjoining the ground of the Greene Cananea Co. on the north and east.
 The price is said to be in the neigh borhood of S2,000,000, but nothing au- 4uIod sIql uo mo u9AlS ST aAnulIIoql the assumption being that the price as quoted is near to the figure at which the deal is supposed to have been con, summated Lindsay and Talbot having already refused any offer less than two millions.
 Col IL. w Powell, head of the Cole interests in this section, when seen last night concerning the reported deal professed to know nothing of it and could neither confirm nor deny the truth of it.
 The mineral showing on the surface. of the Bonanza de Cobre makes it one, of the to be desired properties in Cauanea. and it's close proximity 10 the, holdings of the Greene Cananea Co. would mean that it's development by a company identified in it's management with that of the latter named concern could be handled with the utmost economy and brought to the stage of producing with the least effort

abuse and charges of fraud for the past six years But I want to say here and now that the enterprise will be a success. Every pEnmise made will be carried out, and every stock holder will get honest treatment.
 We propose an expenditure of be- tween s6,000,0 and $7,000,000, which will mean the reclamation of between land in the great valley.
 "The backing for this enterprise, is just as certain as the rising of the sun. We now have practically closed up for sufficient money to carry our plans to success.
 The day $ coming in the Salt River valley when those who have de nomced our enterprise as a fraud and 8 dishonest scheme will have to change their minds. We will prove to our bitterest enemies that we have made honest claims.
 We have been attacked from every quarter, often with malice and never with success. I give 93 out of every 100 who have fought us honesty of purpose and sincerity, but l do be- lieve that some who have fought us are unfair.
 The validity of our franchise has been assailed. Dating from the first location made by A. c. Sheldon, and IS. c. Symonds on April 13, 1889, every franchise we now hold is valid.
 Tt has been said that we have not obtained them from the department of the interior. This is true in 8 meas ure. but when stated without explana- ton leaves a wrong impression.
 We are operating on unsurveyed land. We are able under the law to get but small part of our franchises from the government, but the terri torial law does provide for ouT get ting them, and we now hold them un- der the laws of Arizona"

 "Rev. Bulgin has done a grand work in this valley during his stay here, and far be it rom me to make any statement that would in the least in- jure the results he has wrought.
 Tt is true that had five different appointments with Rev. Bulgin to dis cuss the affairs of the Verde com pany. For some reason he was un. able to keep the first four of them, being too busy with his church worK I suppose.
 Last Saturday afternoon hes'was able to keep thes fifth appointment. meeting me for fifteen minutes at my home. It was the only opportunity I had to talk with him regarding the affairs of our company.
 But ten of the fifteen minutes we were together were spent talking about the Verde company. During all of that time Rev. Bulgin told me what he had heard and I did not have an opportunity to state my side of the case.
 Before we could go into the mat ter an automobile drove. .up and Rev. Bulgin had to leave to keep an ap- pointment. which prevented our going into the details Of the enterprise.
 eI do not accuse Rev. Bulgin, I want to defend him because he is not to blame for the statements he made. What he learned was gained from people who are not friendly to the Verde enterprise and have not been for years.
 ''Rev. Bulgin was not permitted to investigate the details Of the enter prise. The influence brought to bear upon him was so strong that he was not permitted to investigate the full merits of the Verde company's plans.
 ''The same can be said of those who are today abusing our enter prise. They have not investigated, but have endeavored to hear but one side, taking as truth what is being said by our enemies.
