AS TO FEATHERS.

To the Editor Of The Republican:
Sir-I have no interest whatever. in
the ducks that are being so cruelty
tortured b. the man who Lives along
the Tempe road" but. for the sake OF
those who are shocked by such pro-
.ceedings, would say, that geese. ducks
and ostriches. are raised for their
feathers. as much as for food. Every
forty-two days the feathers of a goose
and duck are ripe for the plucking. and
If they are not plucked at the proper
time. they will shed their coats. 1t
would indeed seem cruel to kill flock
of geese or ducks. simply to get their
plumes, and women proudly wear them
on their hats. Probably many do not
know that elder down is the product of
the American duck, and that the pill
lows that so delight the ladies are fill
ed with that same down.
Not being a duck. nor wearing whis-
kers. / couldn't say whether ii would
hurt to pull either feathers. or to tor
ture the face. A mans face doesn't
moult although his head may. No one
has thought best TO call the attention
of the humane officer to the cruelty
practiced upon the ostrich. yet they are
always plucked alive. They don't kill
them first. However, there are some
merciful people in the world. / have
known of hickory trees being cut down,
that the nuts might be gathered. and
fruit trees have also shared the same
fate.
Consistency. thou art a jewel"

The PERE MARQUETTE.

Detroit. Mich. Aug. 2.-F. w. Stevens
general solicitor OF the Pere Marquette
railroad. announced that the railroad
would not contest the two-cent fare
law. which goes into effect on Sept.
2s. Stevens says the two-cent rate
is accepted in the hope that the in
creased patronage predicted by Gov.
Warner. will be fulfilled and that in the
not distant future the earnings may
permit a fair return in dividends on
the value of property used in the pas
senger service.

SOUTH SIDE RESIDENT
LED A STIRRING LIFE
The Visit of Col. Ridley to Phoenix
Yesterday Recalled His Adventur-
Gus Career.

Col. Ridley an old resident of the
south side but an infrequent visitor of
Phoenix was in town yesterday. Col.
Ridley spends the greater part of his
time at home in his declining years
enjoying the rest to which a stirring
lifetime has entitled him.
Col. Ridley was among the early
California pioneers. He was on the
coast at the time of the breaking out
OF the civil war and though he was a
Maine Yankee he cast his fortunes with
the south and served through the war
with great gallantry. When the end
came he was a lieutenant colonel in
the department of Texas.
Though beaten he determined that
he would not be reconciled or recon-
structed and he therefore crossed the
Mexican boundry where there was
something doing. His choice of sides
there was as surprising as it had been
when he went into the confederate
army for he joined the French serving
in the foreign legion under the Inflated
Bazaine whose execution followed the
end of the Franco-Prussian war. In
this service he rose to the rank OF col
onel.
The French military authorities had

A LARGE PLACER MINE
ON BLIND INDIAN CREEK
The Arizona Placer Company to Spend
Large Sum in Building Flume.

W. \. BOndurant, president Of the
Flour Gold Placer Company. arrived
from Los Angeles yesterday on mining
business. There was gathering here
Of mining men who are interested in
and are going to begin at once on an
other fine placer proposition up in the
Blind Indian country which is a tribu-
tary of the Hassayampa river. Among
the parties are +. J. Casey. a cousin
of Ir. Bondurant from Bloomington.
ILL.,. y. c. Douglas, a. R.JOnes and
Harry Jones of independence. Kansas.
George +. Allen and W. II. Baldwin Of
Delvere, Ills. The company has been
incorporated and is known as the Ari-
IONA Placer company.
Mr.. Bondurants long suit is placer
mines, and it is in this particular line
that he has cleaned up most of his
money in Arizona. The placer ground
which the company bought includes
1000 acres and water rights thereto for
mining purposes and the deal was
made by Mr.. Bondurant, and netted
him a neat sum of money. Besides
this he retains an interest in the
property and is the vice president and
general manager and will have charge
Of the work. Mr.. BOndurant has also
bought the store at Wagner and the
townsite and considerable land there
about. The stock of the store viii be
increased and Mr.. Bondurant hopes
the increased business due to theLde-
Velopment of the gold fields will make
them all milliOnaires with a string of
automobiles and wearing diamonds
galore.
Experts in company with the east
ern gentlemen who are interested with
MIR. Bondurant, have been over the
claims recently and pronounce that
the ground will run high in gold and
that the proposition is a dead cinch.
The company plans to build a flume
of wood and metal from a dam on a
branch of the Blind Indian. carrying
the water across one stretch of placer
ground and then turn it into another
branch. Below this point another dam
will be built and the water stored and
carried over into Sellar basin, where
another tract of placer ground will be
worked. Thus the same water will be
made to do double service. II is
quite an ingenious engineering feat,
and will entail considerable expense
for preliminary work but when finish
ed Will be simple enough.
Other companies have figured on it
but either did not have the money or
the nerve to go ahead. Mr.. Bondu-
rant said that they would start on the
flume as soon as the lumber can be
shipped to the site. Mr.. BOndurant
will go to Los Angeles in a few days
to look after the purchase of machin-
cry, such as hydraulic pumps, etc. The
lumber will be shipped to Kirkland
and hauled overland from that point |
T. will take something like 100000 feet
to build the flume. Mr.. Bondurant
pins his faith on gold and believes that
the company has big proposition. The
men from the east first saw the placer |
on Humbug Creek and liked the pros

One hundred and twenty-five was
the number Of excursionists that ar
rived Wednesday morning. all near

ably more than half Of the number
were actual settlers who have been
home awaiting the first of April, the
last day Of grace, to get upon their
land. They r here to do business
this summer, and to make good the
promises Of the soil as they under
stand 1t. They are to raise corn and
potatoes and alfalfa and wheat and
oats and spelt.
The other portion OF the travellers
to the gateway to the Hills were
those looking for land and locations.
The Mccain agency took out fifteen
of them to look for locations and the
remainder either struck out for them
selves or were taken out by the
various other concerns engaged In
showing land. There is yet thous-
ands of acres Of good land left, but
