PINGS LOVE AFFAIR.
While It Lasted He Was a Very Husy
Man,

Pings. the bookkeeper, was IN love.
Ia fact. the new stenographer had
him SO dazzled that be was getting
seven shaves a week, waxing the ends
OF his mustache and memorizlng whole
pages Of love sonnets.
One day his halr fairly curIed with
pleasure as she handed him her ink
eraser TO sharpen. and when he re-
turned it be beamed on her and said:
miss Peachly. If there IS one thing
] can do well It Is to sharpen a knife,
and whenever you have any Of this
work 10 be done please let me attend
to IT for you. Really. / VIII consider 1t
a favor"
The next morning she brought down
TO the Office q couple Of penknives for
him to try his skill On and two days
later three pairs Of shears. and after
those had been attended to she handed
him package and said:
Here are some razors, Mr.. Pings.
Father and the boys have such time
to keep them sharp, and I know how
you love to do the work. I'll bring
them to you every month"
Pings Jaw dropped when he opened
the package and found twelve dull
razors, and when he crawled into bed
at midnight after working on the
blades all evening be vowed It would
be the last job Of the kind be would
ever do,
But 1t wasn't.
The very next day the handsome
stenographer handed him another par
eel, and this time it was several carv-
ing knives that needed attention. and
1t took Just one smile to make him
forget bis vow. This might have end
ed the matter for a time had not the
office force caught on TO what the
bookkeeper was doing, and then the
boys decided to have some fun at his
expense. Pings came down to the
office one morning to find on bis desk
a hoe, an ak. a shovel. several ancient
swords and a pickax, and pinned to
the latter was piece OF paper on
which was written:
'Please sharpen these at once, Nj,
Pings. VIII bring down the lawn
mower tomorrow"
But Pings was through. When be
had recovered from his establishment
he wasnt three minutes In looking for
another position.-A. B. Lewis in

No Appeal Expected from Decision in
Notorious Case.

New York, June q. 1t is believed at
New York that no appeal win be taken
either By Mrs Gould or her husband
from the decision Of Justice Bowling

tion for which she sued and $4,000 a
year alimony Mrs. Could, who has ex
pressed her qualification over the verdict
Of the court, will soon leave New York
for her farm AZ Lynehhurg. va. While
it Is possible for either Mr.. OF Mrs.
Could to bring an action for divorce,
counsel for Mrs. Gould evidently regard
this as improbable, for the present at
least, after Justice Dowling's disposition
Of the charges made By Mr. Gould against
his wife. The decision Of Justice Dow

remarkable court proceedings in the his
tory Of New York City In the belief
that the case Is ended, Mr.. Shearn, coun-

Reports in circulation a few days ago that a rich strike had been made on ground under lease by the Zero Mines company, were confirmed yes terday by the arrival in the city of John QuelecO, who is working parallel lode of that group. He says that he made the strike on a vein running parallel to the old Zero, and it occurred in the tunnel he was driving to the south. It was but few feet from the surface, and while not an extensive body, it was never theless a great surprise to him and his four ee-workets' that such a min eralogieal condition should be in evi- denee at that depth. The ore runs over s142.60 per ton with silver quot ed at 30. cents an ounce. In addi- tion to this silver value another de sirable condition was in evidence car rying the ruby character of the white metal, this mineral in the original workings of the old Zero giving that property a heavy rating in values.
 Mir. Queleeo stated yesterday that he would return this morning to the camp and start new work on the vein from that point and drive a tunnel to the north, believing that similar conditions will be shown with depth. In the meantime, however, he and his associates will continue the exploita- tion of the ground along the vein to a point originally outlined. The leas-

KILLS CoUNTRYMAN
 WITH HEAVY SHOVEL
(From Sundays DaIIy)


 Photographic advices reached this city yesterday that a Mexican named Martinez killed a fellow countryman Friday at Belmont, near Flagstaff, following a quarrel over financial mat, ters. Both men were employees of the Santa Fe, doing section work.
 Martinez used a shovel and sank it into, the head of his victim, killing him instantly.
 He then fled and up to Saturday night no trace of him had been found. The supposition of the off cers is that he left in the direction of this city, where he is said to have friends. He also has relatives resid- ing in Albuquerque.
 No personal description of the man has been obtained and no particulars are given of the crime, other than it was cold bloOded murder.

(FroE Tuesdays Daily)

Several representatives of the big gest railroad contracting firms in the United States reached Prescott Sun day and yesterday left for Parker on the A. & C., to see the route from that place to Bengal on the main line of the Santa Fe, previous to sub hitting bids for the work of extend ing that line, in grading for the road bed. Those to leave for the front were Edward and Thomas Scott. rep resentine Scott Bros. of St. Louis; S. W. Burchard, of the J. c. Ware Con structiOn company of St. Louis; MT. Cone, with the Flick Construction com pany, of Chicago, and Mir. Brier, or the Occidental Construction company, of Los Angeles.
 After reaching Parker these people will be taken over the route in pri- vate cOnveyanees, and then will come back over the same ground. They are accompanied by several assistants, and expect to make their examination in side of a week.
 Bids are to be submitted at once at the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix of fees in this city. It is the opinion of Chief Engineer Jaeger that dirt will be flying by the 18th of Septem- Der. The contract to be awarded calls for roadbed work only, the com pany constructing their line independ- ent of contract work, after the grade is established.

EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR
 DEVELOPING PROPERTY
GFrsm Thurs6ay's pslly)

Active work is progressing at the camp of the PA company in Copper Basin, and a satisfactory showing is being made in the recent develop ment of the ground selected for ex- tensive work, in the future. The new 24-fOot head frame has been eomplet- ed, and it is now the intention to order a new hoisting engine from Pennsylvaia.
 This indicates system of extensive underground work, among which is the sinking of a 5OO-foot shaft, to- gether with general exploitation incl dental thereto. The claims owned by this syndicate are rated as among the most attractive in that field, and the determination to work them steadily, as now seems settled, is a favorable criterion of the mineral advantages of that well kQOwn section.
 Interest will follow the termination of this deep shaft work, and the pre- vailing belief is that it will be a demonstrating one in solving the ex- istence of attractive mineral eondi- tions, that are generally believed to prevail at great depth, and in sddi- ton to this work being performed the projected work will be the first of its kind extended in that section on lines of great depth being reached.
