MANDRAGoRA.

I wonder, now the spring is here
Again, and You away,
IF. sometimes, somewhere you recail
our little month Of May;
The May that we two made our own
When all the world was young
Before romance was halt and gray
And all the songs were sung.
We pIighted faith as if there were
No such a thing as Fate;
WE swore that it was morning while
The brief Spring day grew late;
And / went laughing down the lane
And YOU smiled still: "I'm true, -
But. oh. / wonder now, my dear,
What is life doing for you?
The DAYS may bring their share of joy,
The nights their share of Ill,
Bet I, amid their crowded hours
oh. | remember still
And time may drag a laggard foot,
For many a year, and yet
Let memory dim the Tragic past,
Stili | cannot forget.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

The following has been handed IN
by one of II subscribers, and it con
tains much truth:
You may get through the world, OUT
twill be very slow,
If you listen to all that is said as
you go; !.
You'll be worried annd fretted, ana
kept in a stew
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do,
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest you'll have IT pre-
sumed,
That your humble POSITION is only as
sumed-
You re a wolf in sleeps clothing, or
else you re a fool;
But don It get excited-keep perfectly
cool
For people viii tax.
And then if you show the least bold
ness of heart,
Or a slight in clination to take your
own part,
iHeN VIII CdiI YOU II HPot"hv N
ed and vain,
Bue keep straight ahead-don' STOP
to explain
For people viii talk.
IF threadbare your dress or old fash
toned your hat,
Someone will surely take notice of
that
For they criticise them in a different
shape;
You're ahead of your means or your
t~ailor's unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made,
For people will tax.
Now, the best way to do is to do as
you please,
For your mind, if you have one, will
then be at ease:
OF course, you will meet with all sorts
of abuse;
But don't think to stop them-it amt
any use
For people win talk.

CLARA COT. CAMP TO
BE PROVEN BY DEPTH
trrom Wednesday, Daily,

George Mitchell, one Of the best
known mining men in the west, and
Father A. Queto, both Of Los Angeles,
were business visitors in the city yes.
terday and were guests at the Hotel
Adams, says the Phoenix Republican
Of Monday. They have Just returned
from q trip TO the properties of the
Clara Consolidated Gold and Copper
Company, which include the claims Of
the Old Signal, Crown Queen, Clara
and Moro properties recently consoli.
dated into one large concern.
George Mitchell as a smelter man
was connected with the Verde mine
and made il success, and later he
was interested in the Cananea mines,
which added to his wealth as we'll as
to his reputation as an authority on
mines. He was one Of the first to
prove that the Cananea deposit was not
. blanket and that IL could be mined to
a great profit. His association with
the group Of claims recently incorpor.
ated into one company therefore IL Of
great moment to that section of the
country.
No great depth has yet been reached
on any Of the properties named, though
there are about fifteen shafts from $50
feet and less which have been sunk in
recent years. What the district has
needed is one mine operated to a depth
which will prove the camp. With the
consolidation recently effected this will
be accomplished in the near future.
To a Republican reporter yesterday
Mitchell stated that at the Signal they
will sink to the 600 foot level in the
next sixty days. About a million and
a half tons Of ore have already been
blocked out and it is the intention OF
the company to continue the work till
two million and half are blocked out,
when n new plant will be erected. AT
present the material is on the ground
for fifteen new houses, n new store and
the steam plant and boilers have al
ready arrived for more extensive oper
atoms.
Mr.. Mitchell believes that IL will
make one Of the greatest copper camps
in the territory. lie is conservative In
his estimates, but figures that the ore
will run from 4 TO o per cent in cop
per and from 90 up in gold. While II
might be called copper proposition
vet il is thought that the gold will pay
the expenses Of the mining. The
claims Incorporated into one compan,
are located in the same mineral zone
and there are 1872 of them.
All the mining men OF that district
are elated over the future outlook aut
believe the consolidation augurs n new
era of progress.

hundred Of them over attends the
function. Those who do attend are
not happy, because 1t is not ball at
all but q great crush in which beautiful
gowns are ruined without any adequate
opportunity to display them.
But IL the inaugural ball we're omit
ted, something would have TO be de,
signed to take it's place. There is now
being unofficislly considered a project
for some sort Of NJ exhibition on the
Potomac river. The plan involves the
bringing to Washington all available
war vessels that can get over Kettle
Bottom Shoals, and the water is suffic.
lent Mt high tide for all but the heav.
lest battleships. Then there would be
a sham battle with gorgeous fireworks
display, and all visitors TO the city
could find a vantage point in Potomac
Park, along the water front.
Visitors to the next Inauguration will
appreciate the vast improvement in
railroad terminal facilities. All roads
into the city now unload passengers
Mt the new Union Station, and there
will be none of the congestion and few
of the delays Of former years. There
will also be a great improvement in
lodging accommodations, as much of
the building of the past four years has
been with view to taking care OF
visitors.
