overcast but the wind was hardly per-
ceptible A few minutes later a gun
fred on the Harpon confirmed the
iaring aeroplanists opinion that con-
was dispatched to Calais to apprise
the authorities that a start would be
made between 6 and o'clock.
While the monoplane was hastily
taken out and pushed to the top of the
cliff, a crowd of several thousand per
sons assembled to witness the start,
while many other spectators lined the
shore below. Latham was in rare good
humor as he carefully inspected every
part of the machine and on making
several trials with the eight cylinder
motor found the machine perfect. There
was a wait of an hour until the tor
pedo boats and tugs, strung out in q
line towards the horizon, took w their
positions. Finally all was in readiness
and the monoplane was pushed back
200 yards from the crest of the cliff,
which has a precipitous fall of 200 feet
to the sea Latham was clad in a
knickerEockcr suit and had donned Il
nervousness as he shook hands with
his friends on mounting the saddle.

sistants, and then with nod of his
head and the words See you in Dow

machine moved along at increasing
momentum at every turn.
Just before reaching the edge of the
lift the aeronaut touched the horizon
tai lever and the machine with its
white outstretched wings, rose easily
and sailed out over the shing waters
amid roar of cheers from the cliff and
assembled gradually until it probably
was 300 feet above the sea. Then
straight as an arrow it continued it's

parently under perfect control, at 81

FINE SHELTER IS TO
 BE BUILT AT JOHNSON

per matter will be the output of the
 shelter when started. to be deliv-
 cred at the station of Dragoon.
 The starting of this shelter at John
 son means much to the future of
 that section of the country and will
 afford an opportunity to number of
 mine owners to get ready and con
 yenient market for their copper ores.
 For a number of years the ore has
 been hauled from the Johnson dis trict to Cochise or Dragoon and thence shipped to the smelters at Douglas and Fl Paso. Now the expense of freight charges can be eliminated and the ore treated at the camp, which means that the prospectors and mlne owners vii receive that much more for their ores.
 The Johnson district promises 10 soon become one of the principal cop per producing camps of the territory as there are no less than seven dis trict companies that have claims
 there besides any. number of individ- ual owners, The ore bodies so far are , increasing in size as depth is ob- tained and both oxides and suphides are to be found in the district.
 The Arizona United States Company Is composed of some of the most prominent capitalists of Philadelphia who have unlimited capital at their
 hands and will have no trouble in rapidly pushing the work they have started in the Johnson district
 The party came in via Gleason as much better time can be made by coming that way than by coming via Benson where it is necessary to stop over night. By taking the new way it is possible to leave Johnson in the morning at seven and arrive in Tomb stone at two or three in the after
 noon, while leaving here in the morn ing one can arrive in time to drive over to Johnson in the evening.

LITERATURE IN FORGE ROOM.
Commissioner Of Education Finds . Blacksmith Who Read Virgil in
 Odd Moments.

An interesting sidelight on the kind Of men who attend the classes of the city evening technical schools was giv- en by a commissioner of the New York board of education, in a recent address to young men.
 T visited the forge room," said he, where a class of 25 young black smiths were shaping and welding va rious models of iron bars and iron blades. It was an inspiring scene No man, however indolent or indifferent to the worlds work, could have looked on without having his ambitions re- yiyed. The glowing metal yielded to the hammer blows of these youthful artisans, because interest in their work and desire to become produc- CTS directed their bare and brawny arms. I walked about unnoticed. They felt no interest in commission CTS of education. At one of the anvils noticed a particularly fine, wellbuilt young fellow. He was wholly absorbed in his work, so when I picked up the book he had partly hidden under his cap on his tool bench it did not at tract his attention. What book do you think 1t was? Oh. no. not a treatise on tool work in iron, that would have been fine. It was something even fin CT than that. The book was a copy of virgirs Denial" and the margin notes on it's pages showed that he was as ambitious to acquire a taste for good literature as for the possession
 of technical skill"

TOMBSTONE, Aug. 10.-Willian M Houston and F. J. Megan of Philadelphia and Alfred C. liar. men. Jr.. of Johnson. were in the city on Saturday on a short visit to con suit with Attorney Chas. Rowan. wno is the legal representative of the Arl- zona United Mining Company, oper- ating at Johnson. of which the above gentlemen are the principle stock holders. The company is doing coa- siderable active work at the Johnson camp and at present are erecting d l25 ton shelter which they intend to have incorporated within about ninety days. They are not only to handle ores from their own properties but also customs ores from that dis trict. The plans for the shelter pro vide for additional furnaces to be added from time to time.
 Wm. Robinson, formerly of this city, is at present acting as superintendent of the mining operations of the com pany and has a force of about fifty miners under him. The principal work at present is in the sinking of an incline shaft on the Republic claim which is now down a distance of several hundred feet. The com pany has a group of several claims and ore has been uncovered in all Of the three shafts that are being worked at the present time, and enough ore has already been blocked out to keep the shelter at work for some time.
 The company recently purchased an outfit of four horses and two wagons in this city from Joe McPherson and William King, which were taken across the country and will be used in the hauling of ore and supplies from the mines tothe smelter site.
 MT. Harmon stated that the comp any has already placed orders for a large quantity of coke and supplies and that the first shipment of coke was expected to arrive at Dragoon station in about ten days and that some 300 tons would have arrived and been hauled to the smelter site by the time the furnace was started up.
 During the past week the company closed a contract for the hauling of their supplies from Dragoon to John, son with Merrill Bros, of Benson The contract calls for the delivery of twenty tons per day of coke at the shelter and that fifteen tons of cop,

COMFORT kRoUSES DECENcy.
Lesson in Human Nature That Wa, Taught by the First Sleep
 ing Car.

Sound business was back of the introduction of the seemingly extray' agant Pullman car about 50 years ago. The fitst sleeper, the Pioneer" caused a tremendous sensation, says C. F. Carter, in his book, When Rail roads were New" All agreed that travelling in such cars would be de- unanimous that they were a commer- cial impossibility. Why. men would go to bedi with their muddy boots on i; they would spit on the carpets and upholstery; they would mar the beau tlfully finished cabinet-work, and-ot. well, it could not be done.
 Railroad men and personal friends redoubled their efforts to dissuade Mir. Pullman from inviting ruin. To all these objections he made one com prehensiye answer, which he had oc- casion to repeat many times in the course of his life:
 T have always held that people arc very greatly influenced by physical surroundings Take the toughest man whose lines have always brought him into the eoarsest and poorest sur roundings, and bring him into room elegantly carpeted and furnished, and the effect on his bearing is pro nounced and immediate.
 q am not at all afraid people will go to bed with their boots on. I am convinced that if I devote all my en- ergies to providing handsome cars, the financial returns will take care of themselves"
 The sequel has shown pretty clearly that he was right.-Youth's Compan- ion.
