BIG MINING DEAL
 IN FINAL COUNTY.

CT have just got through counting out $40,000 that was paid me for the Calumet mine, and l feel good. !"
 This was the remark made at 3 O clock today by Thomas F. Wecdin of Pinal county, just after John Sharps, president of the Consolidated Big Lead X Calumet Mining company paid that sum of money over to Weedin for nego- tiating a sale on Thomas Haley 8 in- terest in the Calumet mine, which is located on Mineral creek in Pinal coun- ty, says the Phoenix Democrat
 Behind the sale there is good mine story. This mine was located in 1874 by Thomas Haley, Walter McCallen and Fred Mckenzie, under the name of the Keystone. It was finally allowed to revert back and was relocated by Haley and McCallen under the name of the Calumet.
 In 1886 these two men had separa- ton and divided their property, but did not divide this mine. Finally, the feel ing became so aeeentuated that the two went to law and the court decided that each owned a half interest. In 1906 Weedin, tried to buy the mine from both parties, but they hated each other so that they refused to sell if the other got anything for his interest. Finally, however, the Calumet Copper company succeeded in buying Mccall len interest for 5000, and Haley executed bond and lease to Thomas Weedin for $40,000 and Weedin and the Calumet company began to take out ore and shipped l47 ears at very nice profit, but about two months ago Wee din discovered that his bond would ex. pire on August 24 and he got busy, with the result that he made this sale today to Sharp.
 The purchasers are Philadelphia par ties and they will do some extensive improvement.
 After the sale was made, Haley re- fused to allow Weedin his commission for making the sale and the chances are that Weedin will immediately bring suit to get his commissions.
 This is the largest sum of money ever paid in cold cash for mine in Phoenix.
 Robert F.. Morrison represented Thomas Haley and delivered the deeds.

Navy Department Recognizes Self sac
 rifcing Enlisted Men

The Navy Department has extended it's cOmmendation and approval to eer- tain enlisted men of that branch of ser vice for self-saerifcing conduct and bravery.
 One of the most worthy eommenda- tions was extended to Edward Wade Whitehead, gunner mate, first class, who is attached to the United States steamship Adams. This act of heroism occurred during landslide June 3, 1907, at the marine barracks, naval station, Tutuila, Samoa. The native guard bar racks were completely demolished and for time it seemed that a number of the occupants of the quarters were i'm bedded in the debris. Among the first to be discovered was Gunnery Sergt. John P. Cox, of the United States Ma, rine Corps, who was found jammed against the front wall of the building. There was only room for one man to work in the way of extricating him, and Whitehead occupied the perilous position at the risk of his own life, finally succeedind in lifting the ser geant's body over his own head to the other rescuers.
 Another instance that has been com. mended by the department is the promptness with which number of sailors attached to the United States steamship Wabash, receiving ship stationed at the navy yard, Boston, Mass, manned the boats of that vessel and went to the rescue of a party of three people who had been thrown over board from a power launch which had collided with ferry boat. Among those mentioned as being most conspicuous in this prompt action were M. W. Hol land, ordinary seaman; M. c. Sweazey ordinary seaman; M. Sommer, ship E cook second class; P. J. Brown, quarter. master, third class; c. Hawkins, bug Ter; P. Quinn, ordinary seaman; M. J Myers, fireman, first class; A. J. Fran ey, ships cook, first class and II. Shan non, ships cook, fourth class.-Wash ington Post.

there ought to be evident conciliatory spirit that will soon find the path to peace.
 Aside from the gyrations of Wall street and the telegraphers' strike, there is not cloud on the horizon of business Crops are big, and big efforts must be made to handle them and to provide for the growth that will be stimulated by the surplus yield. The or dinary growth of the United States re- quires the expenditure of enormous en- ergy and great sums of money. This fact is sometimes overlooked by those who have come to regard marvellous prosperity as normal. If there should be diminution of prosperity as com pared with conditions of the past de- eade, there would still be call for immense outlay in the mere effort to keep up with the normal growth. The momentum reached by nation of SO,' 000,000 people is movement of such majesty and force as to be irresistible in times free of wars and pestilence. No disaster that is not well-nigh univer' sal can stop the onward movement. With the exercise of discretion there will be no impairment in the confidence of Americans in the continuance of great prosperity.

DEVOURED EGGS
 0F G|LA MONSTER
Almost Unbelievable Tale of Cochise County Occurrence-Startling Effect Caused by an Omelet of Gila Monster Eggs and a Sad Death.
(New York Tribune)

After a round of hot weather stories from the sitters on Meditating' Mi. chael's bench, in City Hall park yes terday afternoon, "Non-Assessable " Smith, who "went broke" in mining speculation, spoke up: "But that ain t nuthin to what I run across in the shape of hot weather down in Coehise county, Arizona, twelve years ago.
 "I had for pardner a man named Bolger-Bill Bolger-and he was pow erfully addicted to the use of ardent spirits. Well, we was up in the Ora goOn mountains, not far from the Black Diamond camp, when me. an Bill run out of grub. l went to Black Diamond for supplies, leaving Bill to run our prospect.
 "Our shack was on flat rock. While I was gone a greaser came along and sold Bill some eggs-fresh eggs, he said. Bill was drunk or he would "a knowed better, but he bought the eggs, an as he was nigh famished he made ready to cook them.
 "By accident he dropped one of them eggs on the rock, and it was that hot that day that before he could serape it up it was fried to turn. That give Bill an idea. He took all the eggs and broke 'em into one glorious omelet. After leaving them on the rock for if teen minutes in the sun they was done.
 "When I got in about 10 clock that night, Bill was all doubled up an a groanin'. I seen the reason for it as soon as l seen the egg shells, and knew Bill hadn't long to live. Y see, instead O them eggs bein' hen s eggs, they was Gila monster eggs, and deadly ? 'isen.
 ''I hustled for doctor, but it wa mt no use. Bill was dead before midnight. When we came to lift him into a pine box we had the surprise of our life. He weighed about sixteen hundred pounds.
 "Well," continued Non-Assessable Smith, five was knocked plumb silly about his weight till the doctor got to lookin' him over. He seems to be ossifed, sez he.
 "'I've noticed it on Bill before, ; sez I.
 "I mean scientific ossifcation,' sez the doctor, gittin mad
 ''It was all a mystery to us till we took him to the Copper Queen assay office in Bisbee. The engineers found that all but 172 pounds of Bill was gold-95 pure.
 "Ye see, them eggs done it. Bein the eggs of Gila monster, they was full of cyanide, and the rock on which Bill fried the eggs was gold bearin The cyanide in the eggs got in it's work and drew the gold out of the ore, so that Bill was cyanide plant full of gold when he got the eggs down.
 "That started rush of people ex- tractin gold by the new process, but the eggs soon gave out, and they had to go back to the old way. I inherited Bill s carcass, an ever since then I've been on Easy street-at least I ain t done tap of work, !" said Non-Assess- able.
 After long pause Michael said: "We believe your story, especially the last part.'

THE GENERAL WELFARE

Efforts have been made during the last week or ten days to cast doubts upon the genuineness of the prosperity that blesses the United States, and to arouse misgivings as to it's continu- ance. Wall street has palpably aided in the circulation of stories intended to alarm the business interests, the pur- pose being, of course, to frighten the president into an abandonment of the prosecution against powerful corpora tions that have violated the law. The fright, however, has been in Wall street itself, and not in the president. He has given no sign that he is alarmed by the slump in Wall street, and those who think they can sway him from execu- tion of the law by manipulation of stocks are merely advertising their own folly.
 The telegraph strike has been exag- gerated by the prophets of diversity, in and out of Wall street. The person who confines his reading to accounts of the strike and particularly to the fore casts of terrible things to come, may easily convince himself that the great est nation on earth is dependent for it's life upon the lordly will of two tele. graph companies and their employees. Such dire forebodings have been uttered in every strike that has ever occurred, and they have never happened, because the good sense of American employers and employees, aided by public opinion, has always brought about peace. The test of strength between the telegraph companies and tho operators may be strenuous, but it will not be ruinous to either side. Comm,n interest will force the combatants to make terms of some kind. As cooler weather comes on, and both sides begin to realize that they can prosper better together than separately,

King Is No rheater peadbead

King Edward attended thirty-one per formances in the London theaters in the past season just closed. He is al ways in his seat before the curtain rises and if the performance is delayed he complains to the management. As a rule the audience never knows the king is there. An impression has become general that box is reserved for him every night in every theater, but the truth is that whenever the king goes to a theater he pays the regular rates for two boxes for his own party. George Ashton, a member of theatrical agen- cy in Old Bond street, is notified of the kings intentions and secures the boxes.-Chicago Record Herald
