GLOBE. April 6.--A discovery ol gold ore of sufficient magnitude and richness to excite run of prospec- tors from all over the country to the district has been recently made ana it's value proven on the Pinal mount ain range six miles southeast of Globe.
 It is veritable mountain of min eral. which will assay all the way from $2.S0 to $S4 to the ton. and there is sufficient ore of a free milling character in sight averaging s12.50 to the ton, to keep q 50-stamp mill running for a least 20 years-possi- bly longer-with tremendous profits to the operators
 This strike was made two month3 ago by Bob Henry and Dick Vim. berly. two we'll known local pros pectors, who have grown gray in the search for the yellow metal. The news of the strike has been with held from the general public until some idea of the magnitude of the discovery and it's importance could be determined with reasonable de gree of accuracy. Handicapped by a want of funds--a grub-stake-the old prospectors sought the financial assistance of Ernest Thomas. man ager of the local liquor cure. who, after having the property examined by a number of local mining men and making a personal investigation decided on the venture and has been supplying the money for the development work, which has been vita the result that perhaps one of the greatest gold propositions in the territory has been uncovered, and l1 claims fairly glistening with gold have been located. on all q which assessment work has been done.

MARKET FEATURE TODAY
 IN STOCKS
Copper Shares Acted Better Than lndustriaIs-Denn the Feature and Shattuck Stiff ened Considerably.
(By Frank J. Graf.)

Today's market opened in fair form with a reasonable demand for stock. The action of the days ses- sion was at times varied, but at no time was stock offered freely and without bidders. Copper stocks act ed better than the ,industrials. The local market is much stronger today than for some time. Denn Arizona was the feature of the days trading it selling at 1-2 in small lots toward the close. Shattuck stiffened consid- erably and at the close there was no stock offered under s13.00. While there were many bids at $12.50. Su- perfor & Pittsburg, although not par tieularly strong, showed some trading at $12.3S to $l2.50. Greene-C -Cananea was inclined to be little weak. but think that both Greene-Cananea and Superior & Pittsburg are both gooo purchases and would advise the pur- chase of these stocks, as well as Shattuck and Denn for good perma- nent investment or long safe speza- lation.

 Today's stock markets were again quiet and dull. The New York mar ket acted nervous and unsettled and today's closing figures show only slight changes. The coppers are dull and featureless and the market is very narrow, both in the curbs and listed stocks. However, prices show firmness and there seems to be no pressure to sell. Metal remains the same. The figures below tell the rest.

 April 9th. 1908. The market has been dull and firm all day since opening this morning, very little business being done. At noon the sales were only 5000. At 1 D. 10. they were only 22S,000, and at the close only 295,2 200, which is the dullest Monday in many weeks, and yet the prices hold up well. At the close there was a recession which set the prices back to about the opening prices. Butte-London and Butte-Arizona are holding well at market prices, and very little stock is coming out.

SCRATCHING FOR SAFETY.
An Instance of Finding Fun In the
Midst Of Disaster.

Midst Of Disaster.
The laugh often comes in the very
face of danger. Privations and perils
cannot check the response to the COM
ical. An instance of finding fun in the
midst of disaster is told by Captain Z.
c. Morton in the Southern Historical
Papers" The Confederate picket line
was stationed ON sandy bottom near
1 creek.
John Ford, one of the men on duty.
was very plucky. He was seated near
IN uprooted tree and could be plainly
geen by all his company. Suddenly
large mortar shell fell, mexploded. in
the sand about four feet from him,
the fuse Smoking and sputtering.
John took in the situation at a
glance. He argued to himself that the
shell would burst before he could get
up and run away. so that the safest
thing he could do would be to get into
the ground as fast as possible. With
the utmost rapidity he began to work
down into the sand with hands. feet
and head. The men watched the pro
ceedings. shouting:
Scratch. John. scratch. She's going
off,"
1t was an exciting spectacle. Never
was a man more in earnest The sand
all about was in cOmmotion, and in the
few seconds the fizzing fuse gave him
John burrOwed like Il great gopher till
nothing but the hump of his back was
visible as the loose sand settled above
him.
The explosion came with a tremen
dOus jar. which shook the ground and
sent hundreds of pieces Of iron singing
through the air. Every one held his
breath. expecting to see poor John
blown into atoms. When the smoke
and dust blew away, it was seen that
FOrd's head was still on his shoulders
He looked cautiously up and, seeing all
was right, sang ont hearty who
eeh"' as cheerily as if he had treed a
coon instead of having been face to
face with death. A cheer and a laugh
ran all along the line.

Tennessee bred two great orators in
the Olden days-Andrew Johnson, q
Democrat, once president of the Unit
ed States, and Gustavus A. Henry, a
Whig, known as the Eagle Orator of
the South" They ran against each
other for governor, and when q long
series of joint debates had reached its
close Johnson addressed the Wings in
the audience, Il have spoken with the
bOasted eagle orator from the Missis-
sippi river to the Unaka mountains,

imPossibIhty OF Keeping Awake In

Hitherto | have thought that travel
ing by carts over stony roads and stay
ing in Chinese inns at night was the
hardest thing Il foreigner travelling in
China was called upon to endure but

The mOnOtony of the desert by day
and the bed Of camers saddle at night,
the evil smell of camelS and the slow
ness of their drivers and the acrid
choking of the little fire on which ones
food is coOISed-none of these things is
so trying to the foreigners as the sleep
mess which attacks one in this high
region. This to me was a real torture.
Travelling the cold night with no other
company than dull Chinese, who seem
to sleep while walking alongside the
camels or while sitting on their backs
and being weighed down by heavy
sleepiness is the worst thing l have
endured
You sit on your horse and. in spite OF
every effort, fall asleep. Presently yOu
wake up and find yourself ON the
ground, with your horse standing be-
wilderel at your side, wondering
whether yOu are alive or dead. Then
you. try 10 keep yourself awake by

are just as sleepy as yourself. y few
words are exchanged, and then yoL
are too tired to open your mouth to

sleep. sweet sleep. Oh. for just a few
minutes there III the roadside in the

and fight against this desire. 1t is toe
dangerous to sleep by the roadside on
the ground. The caravan cannot wait
AMI your servant would not watch
over you. lie would soon fall asleep
like yourself. The wolves would then
have an easy time.
Yet in spite of all this reasoning you
feel as if you were drawn to the
ground by the power of thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleep
again. Suddenly your watchful horse,
whose reins you have kept slung
around your neck-thiS is wise thing
to dO-pGlls up, starts and jerks you
wide awake. You jump up not know
ing where you are for some seconds,
but you see your horse trembling and
realize that danger is near.
For a few minutes you are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed
You jump on your horse and catch up

Rirds, Muscular Power.

Birds are possessed of enormous
muscular power, far exceeding in some
cases that of any other warm blooded
creature. There is an instance on rec.
ord of an eagle weighing no more than
fourteen pounds lifting and carrying
off young pig which weighed no less
than forty-twO pounds. How many
men could even stagger along the
ground carrying three times their own
weight in their hands? The kick Of
an ostrich is a fearsome thing. 1t

that it will prove one of the best half
mile race tracks in the state. The top
ping is composed of nine inches OF the
very best sort of soil for that pur-
pose, and the entire track is exception
ally well drained by both artificial and
natural means. The cost of the con-
struction was about $4,000 owing to
the rolling nature of the site, which

which extend almost the entire dis

an aunusual advantage. Spectators In

Nevada, June 10.-Lost away back in
the early months Of 1864, when the UNI
ion forces were occupying the little
town Of LeGrange, Tenn, and found
by a comrade in 1908, is the history Of
a small pocket diary belonging to
Thomas Pierce, for many years res
ident of the southern part of this
county, near Sheldahl. Mr.. Pierce was
a member Of the 44th Iowa infantry.
and all thru the war, until stationed
at LAGRANGE, he carried a small pocket
diary which contained many interesting
facts and data that at this late date
are both interesting and valuable. The
loss of 1t caused much regret on the
part Of Mr.. Pierce, but as the years
wore on, it had almost faded from his
recollection.
During the early months Of this
year, Mr.. James E. Harlan, now vice
president Of Cornell college, and a
member Of the 44th Iowa. was in the
south. Returning home he passed thru
Memphis. The occupation OF LAGRANGE
by the union forces came to his mind,
and prompted him to stop off there and
visit old familiar scenes. The regiment
to which Mr.. Harlan and Mr.. Pierce
belonged, was quartered in buildings
in the northwest part Of the town, one
Of Ia; ny, hoc al u
ladies' seminary and an adjoining one
as q dormitory for the ladies. Some of
the Harlan company occupied this
building. Passing down the street it
occurred to Mr.. Harlan that some Of
the buildings were missing, and in
quiry from man working nearby,
brought out the Information that the
old dormitory had been torn down a
year or so ago. In speaking of the
matter the man said that his son had
found an old diary between the Sec
ond floor and the plastering, while the
building was being RACED, and thought
that 1t might prove Of interest to Mr..
Harlan. It proved to be the diary Of
Mr.. Pierce Of his own regiment. The
book was in good condition, altho yell
low Will age, 0Au lne PeHCH WLaSH wi.
Pierce had used In making his entries
was in good condition in the pocket Of
the diary.
Mr.. Harlan secured the diary and
brought 1t back to Iowa with him and
at once started an investigation to
learn what had become of his old conn
rade. Investigation disclosed that fact
that Mr.. Pierce had died some time
previous, but that his widow was now
living in California, and his aged moth
er, Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce, vet resides
near Sheldahl, with another son. The
diary will be placed in the hands of
Of the wife as soon as her exact loca-
ton can be learned, by Mr. Harlan.
