the gulch below is the rock work of the old arrastra in which they treated their ore. The ore in La Plata mine was of the bonanza character in the upper part of the vein and the F'renchmen, working alone and treating their ore in the arrastra, cleaned up gOodly for
 tunes before reaching a depth at which the vein grew larger and of lower grade, rendering work at a profit, with their crude equipment, out of the ques- ton. The Frenchmen made regular trips to Tucson with their silver bull
 lion, disposing of it at that place, till one of the men was killed in the mine when the other two rolled their blank cts and left the country, never return
 ing It is said there was dissensiOn
 between the partners, one of them dis agreeing with the other two. and the old house in which they lived appears to corrobate the story. Besides the kitchen there is one small living room and one much larger, with an adobe partition between. The only opening between the two rooms is a small ''pid- geon hole" in the partition. From this Sherlock Holmes would deduct that one of the men lived alone, while the oth- CT two bunked together. At any rate, two of the men, when leaving, reported that the other had been accidentally killed in the mine. Since then the mine has been abandoned till recently. when it was relocated by James Gap lin ST. the cattleman The extension

of the vein has been located by Frank Hale. But at the present price of sil- yer something more modern than the arrastra will be necessary to make the mine duplicate the wealth the French men are said to have taken with them to their homes across the Atlantic.
 But to change the subject. While in that section, but nearer to Patago- mia (seven or eight miles from town) the writer prowled about in under ground rooms that were not cut out by human hands. To the few who have explored the place, it is known as the bat cave, though not many people of Santa Cruz county are aware of its existence. And truly it is a bat cave. Bats by the score and by the hundred fit about, uttering weak, timid little squeaks, and endeavoring to avoid the light from the candle. The front room of the cave is some fifteen feet wide and thirty to thirtyfive feet long, and from it. in different direc- tions, are numerous other openings, some of which are large enough to permit walking about in an upright po- sition, while to enter others, the visi- or must drop on all fours From the inside and of the front room. by climb ing upon a projecting shelf, one can enter an upper chamber where ten thousand bats squeak timidly and fit about in terror.

PATAGONIA.

Patagonia, Sept. 11-(SpecIal cor respondent of The Republican.)-Up near the head of the San Rafael val ley, twelve or fourteen miles from Pat agonia, is a mining district that the correspondent did not visit till few days ago, when he made a quick ride through that section with Frank Hale, who is prospecting some good looking lodges up that way. On Meadow val ley, a flat near the head of the San Rafael, MT. Hale has a group of claims on a heavy iron ledge that runs north
 west and southeast across the flat. The big ledge is intersected by a smaller ledge of similar character. which eros ses it running northeast and south west. MT. Hale and Homer Santee each have a number of claims on the two lodges. A number of test pits have been sunk on both lodges, all showing streaks of high grade copper copper ore running through the ledge matter. Some of the test pits show the ledge matter in the bottom of the pits to be heavily stained win copper. Gold and silver values have also been shown to exist in the same rock.
 About a mile from Meadow Valley is the old La Plata mine, worked thirty years ago by three Frenchmen, and in

Women have so much to go through in life that it is a pity there is so much needless suffering from back ache, headache, dizziness, languor and otber common aches and ills of kidney comraInt.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have brought new life and strength to thousands of women afflicted in this way.
 Women are prone to kidney trouble. They have so much indoor work to do, so much lifting, bending and stooping; they are bound by custom to tight, heavy clothing They get little outdoor exercise, and any little cold may bring on a kidney weakness.
 Don't worry if you feel tired and dragged out-if you have backache anI bearing down pain, headache, dizzy spells, faintness and lack ambi- tion. Don't think it's some trouble peculiar to the sex. Men suffer in the same way when they have kidney trouble.
 Ask yourself this question: Are my kidneys wcu?" The condition of the kidney secretions may give you an answer. If there is a brick dust sediment, or a stringy settling in the urine: if passages are too frequent and copious, or scantS and painful, it is

walls and against the visitors. From this open chamber there is low pas sage leading to another room, which must be entered on all fours. and from which a passage leads to the outer world to the east of and some twenty feet above the main entrance. Besides the main entrance, the cave has three other openings, giving it good venti- lation, and surely ventilation is need ed. as without it human being would not care to make even a hurried trip through the cave. There is a century's accumulation of offal from a hundred thousand bats, a fertilizer high priced in the older farming districts of the east and north. Should the farmers of the Santa Cruz valley ever need fer tilizer, in the bat cave near Patagonia they can get enough of it to fertilize all the land in the Santa Cruz valley several times over.
 This week the ranchers are bringing in their saddle horses and making oth- CT preparations for the fall roundups that will commence next week. The roundup for this section will cover the territory from Squaw gulch, near Pa tagonia, to the Empire ranch. near FL gin The work will take about two months. .-
 Captain stephen OCOnnor came in from his mine in the Washington camp country Saturday and left on the northbound train Sunday.
 , William Kemp, mining engineer for the Calumet & Arizona company, was Cafttrday and Sunday. Monday he left for Los An geles, on a vacation. The gentleman has been a frequent visitor in the Pa tagonia district during the past couple of months, and expects to visit this place again when he returns from Cal ifornia.
 Among the visitors in Patagonia Tuesday. held here by the washout on the Southern Pacific railroad near Cal abasas, were the Rev. Father Girard of Tucson. and Rev. Father Heitz, pas tor of the Catholic church at Florence.
 Saturday Sheriff Harry Saxon was a Nogales visitor in Patagonia. The gentleman carried several rolls of barbed wire and a democratic splicing outfit.
 Hon. Bo J. Whitesides came up from Nogales Monday and spent a couple of days shaking hands and whispering political prophecies. It seems the gen. tIeman's heretofore almost unquestion- ed right to head the democratic ticket in Santa Cruz county as candidate for the assembly has been challenged and by no less a person than Frank J. Duff fy, who knows something about poli- tAs. himself. MT. Duffy hasn't been up this way, yet, but he's expected to come along most any old time. So far the name of any republican candi- date for any county office has not been presented to the Patagonia public "on good authority or otherwise.

NEWS OF DEAlH OF
 REV. ALFRED IllFF
Succumbed to Typhoid Fever While Engaged in Missionary Work In Canton, China.

Mrs. N Mcintyre has received word of the death of Rev. Alfred Tiff. for merly rector of Trinity Episcopal church in this city. in Canton. China The news will come as shock to many Phoenix people who knew Rev. Tiff and wife intimately and only to love them. Death followed an attack of typhoid fever, and at the hour of his passing the stricken man was thousands of miles from any member of his family. a fact that makes the in- cident a more than usually pathetic one.
 Rev. Tiff left here in 1894. having then but one child, an infant daughter, born in Phoenix. At the time of his death he was 45 years old and he is survived by Mrs. Tiff and their six children. Rev. Tiff felt called to labor in the foreign missionary field. and

 Doan's Kidney Pills are a special medicine for the kidneys, and do not affect the bowels or any other organs. There is not a particle of poison in them-just the pure roots and herbs that nature intended for curing the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure every form of kidney trouble. Read the testl mony of a woman of your own city perhaps a neighbor.
 PHOENIX TESTIMONY.
 Mrs. John Baker. residing at 9 East Buchanan St, Phoenix. Ariz., says: "I suffered off and on for several years from kidney complaint. There were severe pains through the small of my back, and the secretions were attended with scalding pains. In the morning when I arose my back would be so lame and painful that I could scarcely get about, and when I would sit down it would be very difficult for me to arise. I was finally led to procure Doan's Kidney Pills at the Adams Pharmacy, and gave them trial. They gave me quick relief from my troubles, and I have since been using them with the same satisfactory re- sults."

MRS. WILLIAM J.. BRYAN.
Something of Wife of Democratic
Candidate for President.

Mrs. Bryan is a woman of intel
lectuality and strength of character,
and had she not become distinguished
as the wife of a renowned statesman,
she might easily have won fame for
her achievements in literature Or some
learned profession.
Mary Elizabeth Baird was born at
Perry, ILL.,, June II, 1861. She came
of good old sturdy stock, her mother,
Loyina Baird, being of English descent,
the daughter of Col. Darius Dexter of
Dexteryille, N. Y, now a part of
jamestown on Chautauqua lake. Her
father, John Baird, whose death oc-
Cured May 8, 1905, was of Scotch
Irish ancestry, his lineage dating back
to Col. Henry Winter, one of the most
prominent men of Northampton coun-
ty. Pennsylvania, in the early year of
the nineteenth century. In 1928 Col.
Winter was a presidential elector from
Pennsylvania, and cast his vote for
Andrew Jackson. He was appointed a
courier to deliver the report of the
electoral vote in Washington and made
the trip on horseback.
The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1908-07-25

AS a girl Miss Baird enjoyed good
educational advantages. Her education
was begun in the public schools, after
which she attended Monticello semi
mary at Godfrey, ILL.,, n year, and the
Presbyterian academy at Jacksonville.
H., two years, graduating from the
latter institution with first honorS in
June, 1881. She returned the next
year for postgraduate work. 1t was
while at college that she met Mr..
Bryan, and the happy romance of her
life was begun. He was at that time
attending the Illinois college. Their
betrothal was made while they were
both juniors, their marriage following
four years later, in 1884. They resided
in Jacksonville until their removal to
Nebraska three years later.
Becomes Practical Partner.
In order to keep herself in closer
touch with his professional life, Mrs.
Bryan read law with her husband as
instructor, taking the course pre-
scribed by the Union College of Law
of Chicago. She was admitted to
practice in the supreme court of Ne
braska in November, 1888, not having
the intention of practicing as a means
of livelihood, but that her knowledge
of the profession might be of greater
value in the constant and careful as
sistanee she rendered Mr.. Bryan in
his work.
Mrs. Bryan is also fond of literature
and the languages. She devoted one
year to the special study of literature
in the Illinois college, and during
recent years has taken a postgraduate
course of one year in German at the
Nebraska State university. She says
that every mother necessarily keeEs
