SAFE BOTH WAYS.
The Way Rajah Birbar Saved His
 Head by Ready Wit.

Rajah Birbar. a boon companion of the Emperor Akbar, the great con temporary of Queen Elizabeth, was a notable wit. The story goes that the emperor once sent Eirbar with mes- sage to the king of Persia.
 The latter, for some reason or other. bore grudge toward the rajah and In order to see him lose the emperor's favor thought of n device
 He asked Birbar: Which of us two Is greater In power and majcsty-i or Akbar2 But. mind you. If your an swer is in any way unfayorable to me l will order your head to be struck of"
 Your majesty" replied Birbar with out losa of time, "is like tine full moon. while the emperor. my master. resem. bles the crescent"
 The king was highly pleased with his reply and let him go
 This news wns. however. carried to Akbar, who was wild with rage when he beard it, When Blrbar returned to bis masters court he was asked to ex. plain himself on pain of death.
 My comparison" said Birbar. meant only this much and nothing more--that the decline of the Persian kings power had commenced. just as the full moon, after 1t is full. goes on waning. while your majesty Is destined tO rise on and one i'll likp fhs, creScapt becoming the full moon in time. 1t will shine forth with magnificent spiendor of glory
 The emperor. who was a great patron of wit and wisdom. heaped the rajah with rewards.

With drift from the GOO foot level of the Great Eastern shaft of the Superior & Boston showing ore running If per cent copper and other work ings making an excellent showing, de velopment work of very satisfactory nature is in progress on this property.
 The MeGaw shaft is down to a depth of 450 feet and is still sinking. The showing on this work is highly pleasing to the company.
 The east drift from the Limestone shaft on the 300 foot level has encount cred a four-foot vein, running about per cent copper. According to pres ent indications, the size of the vein and the quality of the ore should in crease.
 On the Gardner incline shaft, the ore body has not been encountered as yet, but marked improvement has been shown during the past few days. Every indication points to the fact that the main ore body will be encountered within a short time.
 Today, George Bell, for eight years mine foreman with the Calumet X Ari- zona company, will take up his duties in similar capacity with the Super for & Boston.
 He succeeds ". E. Carter, who re signed short time ago. John D. Wanvig, who has been acting as chief engineer, will take position as super intendent.
 The new Nordberg hoist is being rap idly assembled and put in place at the McGaw shaft Within the next thirty days this bo st will be running and with this important piece of machinery installed, development work at the Superior < Boston can proceed with much more rapidity than has been pos sible in the past.

THE STOCK MARKET

BOSTON. July 13.-The weakness of Amalgamated today was attributed to quiet liquidation by Rogers estate; but the more probable reason was that the metal market was a shade softer, and the buying power very small. The Boston copper market sympathized with the reaction in Amalgamated, and showed slight declines all through the list. In contrast to the activity of yes terday, North Butte was very dull with selling well scattered. East Butte was also weak; but selling was mostly by tired holders, and this stock will be leader when activity is resumed.

BOARD MEMBERS COMMEND FEN. TERPRIsE OF GLOBE IN ROAD

That the territorial board of control is willing to cooperate with the Giia county board of supervisors in improv- ing the road between Globe ard Roosevelt is evidenced by a oonnmuni- cation received by Clerk J. w. Went worth yesterday.
 In this letter, the board not only agreed to declare the road between Globe and Roosevelt territorial high way, but promises to leui all assistance possible to carry out ,he :mrovement of this thoroughfare.
 The tax rate asked for, 20 cents on each $l00 of the assessed valuation of the county, will be fixed by the board and the money raised by this method, something over ,000, will be expend- ed in improving the be-Roosevel: road as far as the money will go
 The board expresses willingness to send J. B. Grand, territorial engineer, to Gila county as soon as possible. to assist the county surveyor in laying out and establishing the grade of the new road.
 As Gila county is one of the first dis. tricts in the territory to take ap the improvement of it's roads under the new law passed by the last session of the legislature, the board, in it's com munication, speaks very highly of the stand which has been taken in road improvement by the board of super visors and the local chamber of com merce.
 With such friendly spirit shown by the territorial board of control, Gila county should be able to make much progress in the improvement of her public highways within the next few years.
