NO FOREIGNER
Is Desired by Miss Katherine
EIkins as Her Husband,
Report Has It.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Mar. 2s
There has been no wedding in the Ell
kins family recently. Duke Abruzzi
isn't any relation and has sailed for
home a disappointed man. Faint
heart never won fair lady and the
Duke will in all probability renew
his suit again. In the meantime the
incident that connected him as a
probable husband of Miss Katherine
Elkins has been closed. From a
semi-offlcial source statement COM
in a roundabout way from the
Elkms family, puts to rest all gos-
sip about the marriage of Miss FL
kins to the Duke. This statement
declared there is no engagement and
that the Dukes offer of marriage was
declined by Miss Elkins.
Miss Elkins, 50, Capital gossip has
1t, does mot seek a foreign husband.
She is proud of the rugged American
line OF ancestors of her family, their
achievements and their position in
their native state of West Virginia
that she is unwilling to leave for a
castle in sunny Italy. In the denial
of the family of any engagement they
are very careful to in no wise wound
the feelings of the Duke and express
their high esteem for him. II the
Duke ever renews his intentions, and
| 1T is said he Will, he may not press
his suit for months hence.

Henry Collins Passes AWAY.

On last Thursday evening death
claimed Henry Collins, one of Cliff.
tons most worthy and respected
citizens. He was one of the old land
marks of Arizona and lived at Dun
can several years. from which place
he came to Clifton about twenty-five
years ago. In early days he was en-
ployed with the A. G. company as a
blacksmith and remained at his post
until he engaged in the hotel business.
Henry Collins was good man and
a faithful servant to Clifton. He
always spoke a good word for the
town in which he lived and was held
in such high esteem by his many ac-
quaintances that his name will long be
remembered.
Less than five years ago he owned
enough property in Clifton to war
rant a sufficient income to keep him
the rest of his days, but between
floods and fire he entertained heavy
losses during the past few years.
At the time of his death he had
reached the ripe age of sixty-one
years and but for the contraction of
a severe case of pneumonia, he would
have been with us many more years.
During all his residence in Clifton,
Henry. Collins was never known to
harm a friend and his name will al
ways be cherished by those who
knew him best. BY his death a good
and faithful wife and several
children are left to mourn his loss.
He was member of the Catholic
Church and funeral services were
held at the church. in the presence of
large number of friends. The fun
eral took place Saturday afternoon
and was one of the largest ever seen
in Clifton. The remains were laid to
rest in the Catholic cemetery.

LA PLATA MINING co.

Dick Marshall, one of the old time
proSpectors of this district, who has
been absent the past two years de-
veloping the Or mining property
located in the Parral district of Chi
huahua, Mexico, in a letter to his
partner, E. Depee, states that the
company is meeting with much en-
enlargement. The La Plata Mining
coming is organized under the laws
of Oklahoma with a capital of 5O0,-
600 shares, par value Sl.00; 200, 900
shares of which were placed in the
treasury for development work. The
stock was put on the market at so
cents. The property consists of six
pertenencias or mining claims and
is surrounded by five operating COM
panies, one of them being the famous
Palmillia, owned by the Mexican
millionaire, Pedro Alvarado, who has
realized $3.50, ZOO, 900 from that prop
erty. Marshall and Depee are quite
enthusiastic over their prospects and
Dick has been in charge of the prop
erty since organization of the COM
pany. The six claims cover a space
of ground 3OOx2OO meters, carrying
gold, silver and lead values. A
perusal of the map of the district
indicates that the boys are interested
in a most valua BILE property.

A Missed Shot.

One day last week a Mexican
woman residing in East Clifton made
up her mind that she was tired OF
this world and proceeded to send her
self to eternity. 1t seems that her
husband had reprimanded her about
some family affair and when he went
to work she secured a Winchester.
She placed the gun over two chairs,
tied a string to the trigger, then
fastened the doors and proceeded to
carry out her plans. She took hold
of the string and backed across the
room in range of the muzzle of the
gun, but when she pulled the trigger
her nerve failed her and she lodged
the bullet, which passed through the
wall. The report aroused neighbors
who notified the officers.
The door was forced open and the
woman was found lying on the floor,
cred that she was unharmed She
pretended that she could not talk, a
doctor was summoned and he soon
found that she was all right. A dose
was Lut a short time until she was
talking. She would not tell anything
of Importance about her actions and
as her mind appeared to be good, she
was turned loose. She now considers
life worth living.

The steel bridge on the Coronado

where it formerly stood buried fifteen
or twenty feet in. the sand. A force
of twenty men have been put to work
excayating, and the bridge is being
unearthed piece by piece. 1t is in
almost perfect condition, and is worth
the price of resurrecting several
times over.

Rebekah and Odd Fellow Benefit Ball.

On Friday evening of next week,
February IA, the local lodges of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs will give a
grand benefit ball at the Casino hall,
to which the public is invited. AS
Friday is Valentines day there will
most probably be a large attendance.
The price will be 81 per couple and
the proceeds will go to the Odd
Fellows home fund of Arizona. This
fund was created by the grand lodge
and the various lodges throughout
the territory have already succeeded
in swelling the fund to some extent.
1t is good cause and some day in the
future Arizona will boast of a mag
nifcent home for the aged Rebekahs
and Odd Fellows and orphans.

ing. The meeting was an interesting
one and a considerable amount of
business was transacted. The Polaris
company was organized in this dis
trict a number of years ago for the
purpose of developing some valuable
mineral claims above Clifton. The
claims represent some of the best
gold property in the district, but so
far enough work has not been done
to illustrate its values. The South
western Development & Reduction
company was recently organized to
finance the property with the result
that large amount of development
work is now being done. In the
Polaris property many local people
are interested, and no doubt the
time is near when they will be glad
of their investment

wife, who left here a couple of

health, was pronounced uncurable
and John left to be with her as long
as she lived. He received a cable
message advising him of her serious
condition and it is doubtful if he will
see her alive again. He will return
to Clifton in the future. Their many

The Shannon output for last month
amounted to 700 tons of Bessemer
copper, which compares favorably
with the usual average. AT this rate
the S cannon will easily produce about
100000 pounds of copper during
the present year But this is not by
any means an accurate estimate, as
the company is in position to easily
produce half as much more. The
work. is now being done with one
furnace and the two smaller ones,
which have recently been repaired,
are being held in reserve. AT the
present price of copper there is no
special reason why the Shannon
should use its ores alta small profit.
Should the price advance to more
reasonable price the company no
doubt will increase its output ma
terially.

c.: D. Cameron was down from
Metcalf last week. He is doing some
work on the Celtic group of mining
claims and reports that a new strike
has recently been made. The ore is
of high grade sulphide, averaging %
per cent. copper, and carrying some
gold and silver. The Celtic group is
one of the old time properties of the
district and wears a good name
among all prospectors who are &C
quainted with it. The new strike
was made in a drift from the main
shaft and promises TO be of consid-
cradle extent. Water has been en-
countered in the shaft, which is the
only draw back at present The IN
stallation of small pumping plant
will be of much value to the rapid
development of the property.

HAVE PLANTS INTELLIGENCE?
Ancient Theory of Darwin Again to
BE Discussed.

London, Aug. 6.-Preparations are
being made by the British Society for
the Advancement of Science for the
greatest meeting in its history next
month, when scientists from all over
the world will be present. The oc-
casion will mark the jubilee or semi
centennial anniversary Of the an
nouncement of Charles Darwin's fam
Gus theories. Francis Darwin. a son
of the great naturalist and himself
man Of renown in scientific circles,
will preside at the session.
Professor Darwin will reiterate in
his inaugural address the contention
that plants are endowed with intelli-
gence. for which he was criticised by
co-scientists years ago. Darwin IL
lustrated his theory chiefly by climb
ing plants and the response Of plants
to the influence of light deducing
therefrom that plants have memory
and so develop habits.
He will particularly describe the
hop and bryony plants, showing that
their intelligence and memory are
hardly less than those Of the lowest
animals.
