FL TIGRE MINE.

No better property in the entire southwest is better known than that of the Lucky Tiger Combination com pany, familiarity called Fl Tigre. It is located 32 miles east of the station at Ysabel, on the line of the NacOZari railroad, running from Douglas to Nacozari, Sonora. A good wagon road connects the Tigre with the railroad. The company was organized in March, 1903. with 65. .000 shares of capital stock, par value $10. The purchase price of the property was $S50,OOO, United States currency, of which s25O,0 ,0OO was paid in stock at par. and the balance. $500. 900, by the sale of the remaining 10000 shares in the public market.
 Comparatively no development work has been done on the mine at the time of the purchase, and on account of the locality, scarcity of labor etc, months elapsed before work of really sub stantial nature had been begun A bit ter legal contest, lasting over three years. retarded active work, yet today they have thousands of feet of devel- opment work done, and an estimated ore reserve of nearly ten million dol lars. A small concentration mill has been in active operation for some time, and together with the high grade ore produced, the shipments are today az gregtaing an approximate net value of S60,000 monthly.

SOME UNITARIANS.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
 Sir-Anent Judge Taft and his Uni tarian belief, the same may be made to appear less horrible to some of your more simple minded readers who are still under the thrall of the old orthodoxy if they are informed that these eminent Americans subscribed to that belief: Religious teachers, w. F. Charming, Theodore Parker, Thomas Starr King, Ralph W. Elmer son, Henry w. Bellows, A. P. Pea body, James Freeman Clarke. Robert Collyer; these poets. Longfellow, Bry- ant, Lowell, Holmes, Whittier CUni- tarian Quaker), Bayard Taylor Helen Hunt Jackson; the historians Ban croft, Motley, Prescott, Hildreth, Parkman and Sparks among literary men, Hawthorne. James T. Field. Thoreau, Bret Harte. T. w. Higgin- son, Edward Everett Hale. and liter ary women, Lydia Maria Child. Mar garet Fuller, Louisa May Alcott, Julia Ward Howe, Lucretia Mott CUnita- rian Quaker), Maria Mitchell; these philanthropists. educators and scien- lists were Unitarians: Samuel G. Howe. Peter Cooper Dorothea Dix, President Eliot of Harvard, Joseph Tuckerman, Henry Berg, Horace Mann, Nathaniel Bowditch and Louis Agassiz; among statesmen and public men are these Unitarians: Presidents John Adams, J. c. Adams, Jefferson. Fillmore and, as nearly as any person can say, Lincoln. Benjamin Frank lin's self stated belief is, in con- densed form, a statement of Unitarian principles. and the following eminent Americans were regular adherents of the Unitarian church: Chief Justice Marshall, Edward Everett Hale, Fish CT Ames, Joseph Story, Daniel Web ster, Josiah Quincy, Charles Sumner John c. Calhoun, Charles Francis Adams. Governor John A. Andrew
 George William Curtis, the late Sen ator George F. Hoar and former Senator w. F.. Chandler
 This is by no means complete list of notable Unitarians; it is simply a list of adherents of that church or ganiZation whose names are known to every American school boy and school girl and whose lives are an | indestructibly glorious part of our history, the heritage of every Amer | ican citizen. Is it possible that for | believing what these men and women | believed a man is unfit for the pres | idency of their country and ours? THOMAS H. SHEPPARD. Phoenix, Sept If.

of his head, with nothing between but an eighth of an inch of pot metal. 1t Is not intended to convey the idea that 1t is necessary to pay a high price for a good gun. When the price goes above $50 the difference Is mainly for fancy workmanship. There are oh the market a number of double guns, good enough for almost any service. which may be purchased at $15 and s20. in purchasing q gun at these figures, however, one should be most careful to secure one which is the product of a reliable firm, and should carefully avoid the Belgian Damascus" which lacks firms name There Is quite an extensive industry in Belgium which produces imitation Damascus steel from the poorest sort of plain iron. Examples of the low-priced gun which may be relied upon may be easily found-a double barrel hammer shotgun, at s15. or a hammerless for $20. These guns, with the top snap, rebounding locks. solid plungers. and with bar rels specially adapted to the use of smokeless powder, are safe and re liable. Their weight should be from seven and one-fourth to eight and One-half pOunds.-From All About Shotguns," in September Technical World Magazine.

All Ahout Shotuuns.

The choice of a shotgun is an i'm portant matter. and on this subject the average citizen has much to learn. It is a regrettable fact that much fraud and deception is prac- ticed in the gun trade, and that is directly encouraged by the demand of many customers for a gun at a price at which a reliable firearm can not be manufactured. In almots any of the mail order journals may be seen dozens of advertisements of Damascus finished, double barTeled
 breach loading shotguns. Belgian make, special at $2.S5" And thous- ands of such guns are sold. It is difficult to understand how a man is willing to explode thirty grains of smokeless powder, or three drams of black powder, within a few inches
