In Rich Gold suIphIde

GLOBE, Aug. 11.-Since the dis
covery about two months ago of rich
gold sulphide on the contact claim OF
the group owned by Henry. Hedspeth,
Wimberly and Thomas, a vertical shaft
has been sunk flfty-three feet, pene-
trating twenty three feet Of ore that
assays $22 in gold, % per cent sulphide
and "a per cent iron to the ton. The
shaft is bottomed in the vein and the
four walls are also ore, which shows no
sign of pinching.
The vein near the surface is six feet
wide and is probably wider at the bot
tom of the shaft, as rock from what
was supposed to be the hanging wall
was tested and found to carry $3.50 in
gold. The property is conveniently
situated in the foothills of the Pinal
mountains, six and one-half miles south
of town, and reached over fairly good
wagon road, so that the cost of deliver
ing ore to the railroad or the o. d.
smelter would not be great.

BOY DESERTS HIS HOME
TO BE WITH STRAY DOG
For Ten Days He Shares Pot Luck
with the Animal Wait, Sleep
ing in Cellars and
DoorWays

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Rather than
desert a friendly fox terrier he had
picked UP in the streets and which his
father would not allow him to keep at
home 11-year- old Henry Harff of $50
Greenwich street left home ten days
ago and for more than week shared
pot luck with his new found friend,
dividing with him what food he could
obtain and ,eping in cellars and
doorways. A complaint from the boy s
father, John Harff, fish peddler, to
the Children's society led to the boy
being taken before Judge Wyatt in the
children's court.
Henry said he was coming home one
day when he noticed he was being fol-
lowed by a small fox terrier. The
throwing of numberless sticks had no
effect in frightening the animal away,
for the waif merely sat on his launches
and cooked his head to one side in an
inquiring fashion,
THAT Henry told Judge Wyatt, set
tied the matter and he took the dog
home. hoping against hope that his
father would consent to having him in
the house. Mr.. Harff, however, had
small use for stray dogs and put down
his positive veto. Henry took the dog
and left.
The ten days during which the two
little derelicts lived from hand to
mouth ended when they were picked up
at Hudson and Leroy streets. When
the boy appeared before Judge Wyatt
he was asked:
"Why did you leave homer"
Then he told his story. The court
said that the Catholic protectory
seemed to be the best place to send
him, and the boy at once eagerly asked
if there would be any chance TO make
some money there.
why do you want to know that %
asked the court.
SOS / can make enough to have the
dog taken care of till 1 get out" said
the youthful prisoner.
The magistrate told him that there
would be no chance for him to make
money at the protectory, but that be
would see that the dog was sent TO
the Bide-a- Wee home for dogs, where
he would be properly cared for.
