Eleven Members Initiated and Most
 SumptuOus Supper Served.

The concatenation of Hoo HooS aft this place Saturday night was attended by about twenty-fiv out- of town cats, besides several kittens, that took the degree of the order. Most of the visitors were from Gurdon, the birth place of Hoo Hooism.

 The exercises Saturday night began at the Park Hotel, where the members, together with the candidates, assembled early in the evening. From the hotel a procession marched to the Wood man Hall. where the exercises were continued. The parade was formed by placing the candidates in the lead and requiring them to push a lumber buggy, on which were stacked several blanks. and the Hoo Hoo yell, a part of the program was in dulged in frequently.

THE CLANsMAg COMING

Sidney Smith, advance agent for "The Clansmm" was in the city today and made final ar engagements for it's appearance ce at the opera house in this city on the evening of December 9th.
 This will be one of the biggest shows coming to the opera house this season, and it is secured at much trouble and expense to the management. The prices have consequently been. advanced, and will be $1.50, S1.O0 and 75 cents No solored people will be allowed to witness the per- formance. The company carry a car load of scenery and bag gage, and have real horses which appear on the stage in the third act. There are 32 people in the cast and the play is based on the following bit of history;
 On November 20, 1867, the negroes of South Carolina were allowed to vote on the same day to enfranchise themselves and disfran chise their former mas ters of the race whose genuis had created the American Re public. Social equality was loud ly proclaimed. The Commander of the Carolinas issued from Charleston a proclamation re- pealing the laws of marriage and promised bayonets to protect the blacks in intermarrying with the whites. The negroes ob- tained control of the entire ma chinery of government. Ne groes filled the offices of Lieu tenant Governor, State Treasur- CT and Judge of the Supreme Court. The Legislature was composed of ninety four negroes and twenty three white men. The speaker of the house was negro, the Clerk negro, the Chaplain a negro, the door-keep- CT and pages all negroes. The Governor an ex-convict, was a white scalawag, lower than his black associates. Millions in taxes were voted and stolen. In collecting taxes as many as 2,OOO homes were executed and sold by the sheriff in single county. A negro militia of S0,000 men paraded over the state and no white man was allowed to bear arms.
 The leader of the Government in Congress, a man of daring genius, was pressing a measure (House Bill No. 29) ito confiscate the land of the South and give it to the negroes. On the promise

HARDWOOD MILL
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Caught Last Night From Burning Sage Grass Set on Fire by Passing
 Engine.

Last night at about 10 o'clock, the old hardwood saw mill be- longing to M. w. Greeson, and situated near the railroad track, a mile north of town, was entire ly consumed by fire, entailing total loss of both building and machinery. There was no in surance on the plant, and the loss is estimated at about SIP. 900
 The plant has not been in op- eration for several years, but there was a deal pending by which it probably would have started up the first of the year.
 The cause of the fire is said to have been burning grass. which surrounded the place, and that a spark from a passing train set the grass on fire. We under stand that a claim for the loss will be placed with the railroad company

But then at last night and a quiet ride through
the lighted Venetian Streets and rest-dreams of
fairy waters and marble palaceS-then sleep, deep,
dreamless sleep.
1t is morning and we step into the gondola with
light hearts Already the soul of Venice is stirring
in us. We will stay here among the glory and
delights of life. l had thought Venice city en-
tirely of water streets, but was greatly wrong
Often above us l see the street, and merry
gayly-clad crowd even moving over its clean
stones.
Between the two rows of grand, but old-time
palaces, we drift along the Grand Canal. Sud
denly the Canal bends and we behold on her
solitary island, Santa Maria della Salute, an Or
derby tangle of statues, columns and glistening
domes. To the left stand the piazza, San Marco,
and Doge's palace. We gaze, wellnigh aghast at
the magnificence of this famous corner of Venice.
The eye fails to distinguish longer. 1t sees but
one vision, glorious, exquisite blending of gilt
tering variegated marble, arcades domes bel
fries and porticoes into a perfect picture.
With an imperceptible decrease OF speed, the
gondoa stops at the piaZzetta San Marco, and
step out into the square. busy crowd are
moving in every direction. In the shelter of
massive cluster of pillars, men are selling small
cornucopias of corn. The guide grins broadly as
he points to the swarms of pigeons everywhere,
and hurriedy respond to the soft-tongued
call of Una paanca" and fill our pockets with
the grain On the steps of a nearby statue, we
prove the asserted tameness of the pigeons II l
could but give you an idea of the ocks of pigeons
One would wonder how there was room for people
in Venice. Their presence grows lrkSome, their
holiness laughabe.
Down the straight long walk we wander on
little futering shutter in palace above us draws
our attention, and meet the dark, admiring eyes
of an Italian girl Very beautiful is she in her
costume of red and gold, and we remember sud
denly that she is not bold after ALL smiling thus
upon handsome felOWtOuriSt for is not this
Venetian custom? All the woong, its beginning,
and its progress may be seen by the casual locker
on. 1t is not unusual to hear the soft tnkle of
music in the dusky evening" and soon the shutters
slip open and superb girlish head appear
Ahead of
her whitecof and black mantilla, is entering.
The caressing wind lifts her veil and we catch
glimpse of a snowy neck beneath golden tresses.
A group of lazzaroni, beggars,-the legacy OF
Venice,-hold out to dusty palms, and, salts
fed slip back again into the shadows, where they
seem almost to harmonic, so much a part of
Venice they appear.
But the sun has dipped below the royal towers
of the Campanie, and every window, every gilt
terng stone, becomes a blaze of light Slowly
they fade, and the darkness creeps over Venice
Her lights are lost amid the myriad shadowy re-
cesses. The voices of the daylight cease. The
long, weird lights play over the waterways of
Venice, and the fairy city finds rest in the halo of

gave my heart up entirely when l met La Joie.
1t was one evening when l had gone to the
opera with my friend Julien Enterre the mys
terious, ''the beautiful" His a beautiful face
and yet many-a face good to look upon; round
and yet long with curves such as a woman might
have clear complexion and strong true eyes;
a face you could not pass without another look,
and one which impressed you as of nobleman.
A man who astute and keen and one who
could see beyond the words and acts the fancies
and foibles of the now. man whom you could
not deceive and yet who would die for sincerity.
And we had come to call him "the beautiful"
mostly because of his ideality and sterling worth
No had ever been in his lodgings, that we

study-a fascinating nook, hung with pale silks
and containing rare bits of water-color paintings

caress the whole audience. Yet it appeared to
my conceited fancy, that she looked in my direc-

brought her tripping back to the footlghts. They

thc extent of it is not yet known it may be of considerable importance. This metal is used in stee! harden ing and has a market value of 14O dollars per ton. Ore running 25 per cent copper and seven ounces silver was encountered on the 300 foot level several days ago. This is the deepest ore body opened to date, and gives a stoping ground to height of 200 feet. Sinking of the main shaft to water level will soon be commenced However, de- velopment work on lhe 300-foot level and the extraction of ore will be carried on at the same time.
 Copper Era: Louis Page and ]. c. Pickens have returned home from New York, bearing with them the silver cup which proclaims them champion drillers of the world, title they won at the National Mining Exposition in Madison Square Garden by defeat ing Bradshaw and McNichols, the Butte tenn and making a new worlds record With them were Johnson and Strothers of Globe, also championship winners, who defeated McLain and Orr, of Salt Lake City, in the amateur cham pionship contest. Globe had no entry in the single hand drill con- test, which was won by William McLain of Butte over Orr of Salt Lake.
 Benson Press: A million dollar deal that is reported as being negoti- ated and involving the taking over of the Mansfield copper property near Patagonia, Arizona, is attract ing considerable attention among mining men in this vicinity. The United States Smelling and Refn- ing Company is said to be the second party to the deal, their agents having left Benson few days ago for Patagonia with view to making a personal examination of the property. Owing to the fact that some extraordinary rich ore has recently been reported from the Mansfield workings, it Is be- lieved that the smelter people are determined to get possession of the property by purchase, and thai Mansfield stockholders are likely to realize handsomely on their in vestment. The smelter is nearly completed.

 Douglas Americans: The Ander- son Apache Copper company, whose property is located in the Hachita field in New Mexico, on the 20th of this month commenced shipping ore to the Copper Queen shelter at Douglas. Within the past year two compartment shaft has been sunk and 1000 feet of crosscutting and drifting has been done.
 Prescott Courier: With ample finances at his command to thor oughly explore the large ore bodies in the Russell group of mines in the Hassayampa district, known to old timers as the Stirling prop erties," J. B Tomlinson, who re- gently returned here from New Mexico, announced yesterday that he would have active operations under way there in very short time.
 Benson Press: Henry Valen- zuela returned to his home in Ben son last Monday morning, bringing samples of ore from new discov- cry he had just made nine miles beyond Helvetia in the Santa Rita mountains. He stated that the ore was from the apex of ledge which crops out at the place of discovery, twelve feet wide. It is largely composed of silica and oxidized iron, being reddish brown and quite heavy. An assay made in Tucson showed values of $32 gold and $S silver.
 Journal. Miner: Good reports continue to come in from the Sink to Rise mine, in the Copper Basin district, being opened by Ed Block. The new working shaft is being pushed as rapidly as possible. It is now 90 feet deep, and the ore body shows continuous from the grass roots to the bottom. The ore is chalky substances, with iron sul- phides dessiminated through it. It samples $6 to $20 to the ton in gold and carries 24% aluminium. Recent concentrating tests show values of over $100 to the ton in concentrates.
 Benson Press: Joe Larrieu was out inspecting his vanadium prop erty south of Benson last Wednes- day, and re, ts that the ore vein has been uncovered in a new place which demonstrates that 1t con- tinues at least 100 feet in length and IS feet deep, and appears tc go still deeper. Since the last re- port Mr. Larrieu had chemical analysis made of the concentrates in Douglas, which showed ovel forty per cent lead and over nine per cent vanadium, which ccnsti. tutes vanadate of lead, one of the rare forms of vanadium ore.
 Douglas American: Some fine specimens of tungsten ore have been received by the Anderson Apache Copper Company from their property near Hachita, N. NJ.
