Caro- Of this city, Of which the follow
ing is a part:
It is rather difficult to find language
to express an opinion that properly
conveys to the minds Of those not IA
miliar with Oklahoma the impression
one forms Of this new star in the flag
Of our land It is more than great"
1t is immense.
In Texas you are impressed with the
vastness Of the territory covered BY
that state The mileage Of Texas is
constantly brought to your attention,
especially if you are travelling over the
state and paying 8 cents a mile. Il
is as far from the eastern boundary Of
Texas to its western limits as from
Chicago to New York.
Here in Oklahoma the territory is
not of such vast extent What inn
presses you at once is the magnitude
Of the progress of the state. The ter
ritory was opened to settlement on
April 20. 1889. Nineteen years ago
this state was the home Of few Indi-
ans, few outlaw whites, the prairie
dog and the rattle snake. It's great
acreage was used as grazing land by
Texas stock men, with the exception
of few spots in the milan Territory,
that part of which is now Oklahoma,
but little cultivation Of land was being
done.
Today there is a population of more
than one million, five hundred thous-
and whites. Cities have been built
that would be credit to Michigan or
Ohio A state university has been
built that compels admiration. Nor

far in advance Of the eastern states
And these laws are, in most instances
being enforced.
When Oklahoma was first opentd
the northern part Of the territory was
settled by families from Kansas, Iowa
Nebraska, Missouri, Michigan and In

practice Of their home states and be-

saw 10000 bales OF cotton at one little

A few years ago land was selling

not buy that land today for less than

worth it. The people here know it

must endure the close-fsted bounty Of

NEED OF SURGICAL TRAINING.
Some Things, at Least, That All Peo
pie Should Know.

Everybody ought to have surgical
training enough to render aid to the
injured in the case Of a stab or cut In
one Of the limbs" said st. Louis ply
sician.
IF the blood flows freely, It is an In
dication that one or more blood YES
sells have been severed. If the flowing
blood is a bright red and comes in
jets, an artery has been cut. II 1t ls
dark red it comes from vein and the
importance OF this fact becomes ap-
parent when an effort is made to stop
the flow. Veins carry the blood to the
heart, the arteries convey 1t in the op-
posite direction, so when vein is sew
cred, pressure should be applied be-.
low the wound, but in the case Of an
artery, pressure above or between the
wound and the heart is necessary.
Sometimes, in the case Of an extern
sive cut, both arteries and veins may
be severed, and then pressure ought to
be applied both above and below the
wound More than one man has bled
to death with a crowd looking on sim
ply because none of the bystanders
knew enough to stop the fow Of blood
until doctor could arrive A hand
kerchief with a knot In it, tied around
the limb, will often answer the pur-
pose. Even the pressure Of a thumb
will sometimes hold back the blood
until a surgeon can apply more ef'
fective means"

Big Judgment is Given Epes Randolph.

Eugene s. Ives, we'll known attor- uey, returned to Tucson from Los Angeles, where he spent several days representing Col. Epes Randolph in the trial against Lycurgus Lindsay, the former partuer of the Ilouel in some mining operations. A decision was rendered by the court in favor of Col. Randolph.
 The case arose out of the opera tious of the eAmerican-Mexican Gold fields Mining company, in which Col. Randolph and Lindsay were inter- ested jointly. This corporation has control of the Dlanos de Gro placer property in the Altar district in Sn- nora, which gave great promise for a while, but finally was shown to be worthless. The company had con- tracted d large amount of debts, and Col. Randolph held himself and Lind say personally liable, in accordance with. the contract he claimed existed.
 When it came to the settlement of the debts of the concern. Lindsay contended that no agreement existed and refused to pay. Suit was filed, and the case was argued in the dis trict court ot Los Angeles before Judge Hutton. After considering the evidence, the court rendered a decision in favor of Col. Randolph for the sum of S26, 765.

Copper Queen Victory Over County of
 COChiSe.

A decision was handed down by Judge F. s. Nave in the celebrated tax suit brought by Cochise county against the CoppeI Queen Mining company. The decision favored the mining company.
 Ringing upon the outcome of this suit was Sl70,00G in taxes which 1t was alleged by the plaintiff were due for the year 1901. The Copper Queen company, through its attorney, Col. William Herring and Mrs. SOrin, of Tucson, and E. E. Ellinwood, of Bis bee, contested the action of the county, and the decision scores for them victory.
 In giving his decision Judge Nave held that the extra taxes claimed were not valid, owing to the fact that the properties on which they were supposed to be levied were not contiguous. and consequently a fair estimate of their value was not to be obtained.
 The Cochise county officials had at one time declined to institute this back tax suit, b It they We're man. damused by the territory and were compelled to bring the action.
 Owing to the big sum involved, it is quite probable that the case will be taken before the territorial supreme court at the next session of the highest judicial tribunal of the tarritOrV.

Postal Clerks Are Poisoned With Ar.enic

One morning last week rben the regular mail was brought ir the Tus- Son postof1ice the force of clerks eonimenced as usual to distribute it. In order to separate the letters the clerks have a habit of wetting their thumbs in their mouths. After the distributors had been working for some time one of them, Mrs. K. Pine said she felt faint, and in few minutes the other young ladies who were working in that section also complained. A physician was sum- moned, and after reyiving Mrs. Pine, stated that she had been suffering from arsenic poisoning.
 An investigation was at once in- stituted, and it was found that prac- tica.ly all of the letters which were in the sack from which the clerks were distributing were covered with a fine, white powder, which was found to be arsenic. A search of the sack did not reveal any broken pack age, it having been thought that per haps package containing the poison had been broken.
 The only solution there seems to be for the occurrence is, that the poison was either maliciously scattered into the sack, or allowed to fall in there by accident. An investigation has already been set on foot to learn how and where the poison was put in the pouch.
 After taking stimulants all of the clerks were restored. but it is stated that had they gone for few minutes longer at least some of them would have taken enough poison to kill them.
 Acting Postmaster Martin stated that he could not conceive how the poison got into the m9il pouch.

The Globe District Properties Promising.

tHC uIOUC DtSliIIt IlVYCi tiCS IIOHilSiHS
 c. K. Robinson in d recent inter
 view in the east says:
 "Globe is one of the oldest camps in Arizona. and has number of regular. producers. There is a smelter near the city of Globe. The ores of the camp are gold, silver and copper in greatest quantity. with occasional associated ores. Schist, porphyry, granite, diorlte is the gen eral country rock of the entire camp. The surface values are in gold and silver, very often the values enabling the prospect to be developed without dollar of investment, but of course this is on small scale. From 30 feet on down the predominant values change 10 copper. There is plenty of water throughout the section, and wood or fuel; but there is d scarcity of material for mine timbers. The section IS being rather generally ex- plotted at this time, with some new blood, and in many cases the devel- opment is giving excellent results. The Old Dominion shelter at Globe cares for most of the ores of the dis trict needing treatment, these in- cluding several properties owned by the shelter.
 ''The Pinto Creek district is one of the most prominent in the Globe sec tion. The Gibson is the largest pro- ducer, the ore being a heavy sulphide is schist. The property is working constantly and ore is being marketed. The Central Copper company's work is progressing on the 200-foot level in an incline shaft.
 ''The Five Points property is in ore in all the workings, extreme depth being 200 feet. The ore is chalo pyrite and sulphide. At the lower level drifting has forwarded 800 feet, all in ore. The Globe and Pinto has two shafts and d good showing of ore, but work is not going forward.
 ''The Powers Gulch Development company, recently struck a good body 1f sulphide at 60 feet depth, and ore is now being shipped to the Old Do minion shelter.
 ."The Pinto Creek Copper company mining operations are at standstill while the new machinery is being in- stalled. A lOO-tou coucentrator is on the property. The country is DOT phyry, and there is large area of low grade ore. There is something more than 2,000 feet of development work and it is looked upon as a fine prop erty.
 "The Globe Standard, in Powers Gulch is working, being copp-r-zinc proposition, with some gold and sil- yer values, ore being in porphyry the ledge pitching to the northwest.
 "The Calumet x Globe is down with a two-compartment shaft 300 feet, and from this they cr0ss-cut and tap ped the ledge, a strong one running in copper values chiefly.
 "The Castle Dome on the east side of Pinto Creek is operating regu- larly, with large quantity of devel- opment work done and good ore bodies in sight. The deepest work ing is 300 feet, the country being schist and diorite.
 "The Centennial, owned by the Old Dominion shelter people. is shipping about 50 tons a day of excellent ore, in character and carrying gold, silver and copper values. A new ore body was recently uncovered on the 500 level. This has been constant producer for years"
