Place Last Sunday-VaI-
ues Unknown.

j. NJ O'Connen returned yesterda,
from Sylvanite, where ne went Satur-
day on matters Of legal business. He
states that things are moving alonk
there wis considerable activity anu
that there are a number coming in
right along. He states that there was
strike made about nine miles from
there and there was run over to tAe
new ground Sunday. There was some
of the highest assays taken from the
new find which have thus far been
discovered In the camp. He stated.
however, that he did not know what
the new territory looked like, but
understood that the lodges were small
and were generally stringers.
at is not possible to say what the

has not been sufficient development

them, and believe that the camp will

Manager of Gadsden Hotel, on
First Visit to Camp, Is Sur
prised at Activity Shown on
All Sides.

Manager w. ]. johnson of the hotel
Gadsden came up from the Smelter
City yesterday, and paid his first visit
to the city of Bisbee. He expressed
much surprise to see such marked
activity and stated that he had not
seen such ego" in commercial way

This city is certainly a hummer, y
said Mr. Johnson. Il had heard of the
life and activity and of the enterprise
of the people OF this great mining
camp. but had to visit here to fully
realize Just what that activity really
meant.
This is certainly the most pictures
que city have ever visited, in many
ways. It seems to combine all the
features of a great mining camp, as
well as those of one of the substantial
cities of the southwest. To see fine

II was astonished to learn that
property, on the main street of Bis
bee, finds ready sales at 81 900 front
foot. I can readily understand why
this is when the business section of
Bisbee- Is confined to only a very
limited space. One forgets the mar
raw streets when he sees them so
crowded with people. and every one
having business to attend to and do
ing It with an energy which Is en-
couraging.
"If the slump which hit the country

casual observer, and nowhere appears
on the surface. / am told by the mer-
chants with whom / had slight con-
versation that business is improving
daily, and that every thing is getting
back to its normal state as RAPIDLY as
could be expected. The building
which is in progress up TombStone
Canyon looks good, and In addition to
giving employment TO a large force
of mechanics will give TO the city in
that section one of the finest business

DIVIDEND OF
GA. JUSTIFIED
BY EXPANSION
Acquisition of New Properties
That Will Greatly Swell the
Assets of Corporation Prob
able Explanation of ST Rate.

The Calumet & Arizona announced a
quarterly dividend yesterday Of 81
per share. According 20 some PEG
pie It was disappointing II lie stated
that there should have been a 81 divi-
dend instead OF 81.
The Review does not attempt TO say
that the dividends should be more or
less than that amount, but under
stands that the G. & A. has during
the past year secured some import
ant options on several properties
which, II taken up, win vastly I'm
crease the present holding of the G.
& A, and quite naturally increase the
price of the c. & A. stock. And 1t b
not improbable that the management
of the company feel justified In keep
ing a liberal surplus in the treasury
for Just this purpose.
II is well known TO all that the
management Of this company has
been singularly alert for many months
past, and that many of the most
promising properties throughout the
southwest have been secured by op-
ton, and If these properties OF reas-
enable portion OF them, succeed, II
will increase the holdings and the.
dividends of the company materially.
This, 1t would seem, is reasonable
explanation Of the 81 dividend.

IN cOmD1nat10n with the trading
business this gentleman managed an
extensive cocoanut plantation, which
surrounded the station, and which
was laid out on ground legally bought
from the natives. It may be that the
natives had misunderstood, or at least
not quite comprehended, the real
meaning Of the land sale. or maybe
and this seems more probable-they
were only longing for an especially
promising cannibalistic feast; any,
way, they suddenly broke off all ap-
parently friendly relations which had
hitherto existed between them and the
white man. Instead they adopted a
hostile attitude toward him who had
always been their generous master
and benefactor.
This happened just at the time
when the arrival OF the ship with
which Molde would return was daily
expected. On the fatal evening the
lonely trader was walking to and fro

Gaze on those figures, John, and weep
Instead of feeling glad,

What money you'd have had
The millions you have made in Oil,
Though they may seem immense,
Compared with what you might have
got
Would look like fifteen cents
How did you ever come to choose
That gross and greasy thing,
When. as a lad, you might have had
The spirits on the string?
And profitable spirits. too,
Far, far exceeding oil,
Which after all brought you but small
Returns for all your toll.
No man can say what sort of change
You might have wrought upon

If you had touched it, John.
And yet you say that you are glad!

With calm delight although you might

ace. OF tall and powerful stature
and handsome but energetic features,
he bore the stamp Of good education
and refinement. Out of his clear blue
eyes spoke cleverness as we'll as a
certain kindness of heart. He was
at that time twenty-nine years old.
When with tropical suddenness, the
sun had dropped behind the small
mountain ridges Of the island, ma
tive servant appeared and lit lamp
that was standing on the massive
table on the veranda. This done, he
quietly withdrew, leaving his master
alone in his house and alone with his
worries. The latter, in his turn, took
portfolio out Of the drawer, placed a
loaded rifle next to his chair and be.
gan to write. He desired to finish
some letters to his far-away relatives
and to his betrothed, letters which he
had written carefully and in diary
like manner during the lonely months
that he had lived in these islands, and
which he wanted to get ready before
the ship would arrive. Hastily he
moved his pen over the paper and he
paused from time to time, sending a
longing look in the direction from
which the ship was expected.
Outside it was now so dark that he
could only dimly distinguish the out
lines Of the surrounding station
houses, although he, himself, sitting
in the light, could be seen by outsid-
ers. The laborers had already retired
into their cottages, and deep silence
prevailed. Suddenly from the direc-
ton of the village the beating of
drums and the sohnd of music became

er gentlemen and part of the crew, all
we'll armed, proceeded ashore. In the
house Of the Inflated victim they
found the unfinished letter to his be.
trothed, and tears entered their eyes
as they listened to the reading Of the
last sentence set down.
Deep in the forest they found
around the ashes of a huge fireplace q
few small bones Of the victims, and
among them part Of the lower jaw OF
Mr.. Metzke, which could be unmistak-
ably identified by the tooth filling Of
the slain. All the larger bones and
the skull were missing; they had been
instantly transformed into weapons
and ornaments and could never be re-
covered. 1t remains only to say that
the government expedition promptly
took place to punish the offenders and
revenge the slain, but doubt that any
such measures could mitigate the dis
tress of the loving relatives at home
whom cruel fate had thus dramtai-
cally bereaved of their dearest.
With this expedition the Metzke
tragedy found its end, but it did not
set stop to the Internal habits of the
islanders. BY no means. Cannibalism
is still fourishing among them as of
old; 1t is too deeply rooted in their
traditional customs to be eradicated
at once, even by the most stringent
measures Of the authorities.

WHEN MEN HURRY.

Problem, Propounded by Man Standing
on an Elevated Railroad Platform.
Singular" said man waiting for
a train on an elevated railroad plat

where a hundred men and boys had
gathered around two wagons that had
come together in collision, there's
a hundred men standing around those
two wagons, just standing there,
gaping, apparently with nothing else
to do, and not in bit of hurry, but
let any one of those men come up the
stairs to this platform when there is
train coming in and he'd rush and
hurry and tear himself apart to catch
that thain, and get glum if he missed
it, though he knew very we'll that

an end; let him see somebody hoist.

The next instant he was on his feet.
'Murder!" he shouted and with call
for his boys he grasped for his rife.
to arm himself for defense. But al
ready shower Of spears and arrows
had fell over him, and, wounded to
death. he sank to the floor. A long
spear had penetrated his chest from
back to front. With the agility Of
cats the yelling savages rushed up to
the veranda and with tremendous
blow Of an az he was quickly dis
patched. -.
While some of the savages rushed
to the nearby labor house and made a
terrible massacre among the unarm-
ed and sleeping boys, the rest of them
had, with astounding quickness, fast
ened the mangled body of Metzke to
a long bamboo rod and away they car
ried him, amid fierce, unearthly cries
and yells, deep into the forest, to a
spot where since ancient times their
grewsome feasts had taken place.
Throughout the night mighty fire
was kept burning, and over it the
body of the unfortunate Metzke was
roasted like a pig at the stake.
Five of the labor boys shared his
fate; the rest Of them escaped into
the woods, to tell later on this story
as far as they knew about it. Wild
songs and lamentations, an incessant
beating of drums and devilish dances
contributed to the general merriment
until the bodies were ready to be de.
voured, and when the first rays of the
glorious morning sun broke through
the foliage of the bushes and threw
their searchlight upon the CHASTITY
scene there was nothing left Of poor
Metzke but his bones.
Only a few days later the ship so
long expected in vain arrived, and
after being hastily Informed about the
sad occurrence the returned partner

Crow Destroyed Pheasant Eggs.

A party of boys while hunting for
flowers discovered a pheasant's nest
on the farm owned by Albert Hack
ett north of this village, few days
ago. They visited the locality of the
nest daily to see when the mother
bird would begin to set, as at that
time the eggs in the nest numbered
thirteen.
To-day, when some of the party
made the visit, crow was found in
possession of the nest, and when it
was driven away it was discovered
that each pheasant's egg had been
punctured by the crows bill and the
contents sucked out, so that nothing
but shells were in the nest.

audible, evidently sing-sing festival
was going on among the natives.
Nothing could suit Metzke better,
now he was safe. While they were
singing they would not modest him.
Poor fellow, he did not know it was
his own death march he was listening
to, the overture to a cycle Of savage
entertainments which this night
should see; he did not know that the
reverberating airs Of music which
met his ear really meant nothing else
than that his fate was sealed and he
was doomed.
Confident of his safety, he contin.
ued his writing with redoubled rapid
ity. But outside, under the cover of
the night, dark, painted figures, with
long spears and heavy clubs in their
hands, were sneaking toward his
home. Noiselessly. like specters, they
crept nearer and nearer, until they
had it wholly encircles. Taking post
behind buildings bushes and trees,
they watched their victim and waited
the signal with lust of murder and
greed in their eyes.
There on his veranda sat the doom
ed man, unconscious OF the danger
that was threatening him, busily en-
gagged in committing his words of
love to the paper. With what pleas
ure will these letters be received by
the loving souls at home; how earn.
estly will they thank God that He had
shielded him under the far-away
| Southern skies!
It was to his betrothed that Metzke
wrote at present, a letter that was to
be his last one in this world.
With buzzing noise spear passed
