 Eugene, who is known as brilliant student at school and an exception Eaily clever piano player for his age, did not attend school as usual Mon day, nor did he return home Monday night. This caused his mother con siderable worry, so yesterday she told Justice Burdick her story.

FORMER MINE
 OWNER HERE
Visits Work and Expresses
 Surprise at the Amount Of
 Progress Made Development

I. L. Merrill, who was formerly the head of the Calumet and Arizona Min ing company, and who developed the first ore at the Irish Mag snarJ, was a visitor to the district this week, remaining only one day. While here MT. Merrill spent most of the time at the mines looking over the worK done since his last visit, and before de- parting he expressed himself as de lighted with the conditions, and sur prised that so much had been accom- plished. Mir. Merrill was conducted
 through the m4nes by w. B. Gohring, superintendent. After inspection ne made some very interesting compari- sons between the camp as it was n his time, and now, predicting that the future would show still better achieve ment than the past. As MT. Merrill has kept in constant touch with min ing affairs here s.nce his withdrawal from the active work locally, he IS one of the best judges in the country.
 While MT. Merrill has his home ill Los Angeles, he spends much of his time in travel and recreation. Spring finds him angling for the shy trout in the wilds of Maine In the summer he can be found yachting on the At lantic, and in the winter months golf in California claims his attention. But he finds time to look after his various mining ventures. which are all in flourishing condition. MT. her- Till went to Los Angeles from here.

CITY STRIKES GUSHER IN TOMBSTONE CANYON
FINDS GREAT FLOW OF WATER THAT GIVES PROMISE OF FuRR- IsHING AMPLE SUPPLY.

Work is progressing rapidly on the sinking of the city well up Tomb stone Canyon, near Charles Thomas residence.
 A flow of water far beyond expecta- tions was struck yesterday. and prov ed so strong that the workmen had to desert their tools until pumps could be brought to the spot to relieve the pressure.
 City Engineer McNeish is engaged in building a retaining wall near the well, also a submerged dam, III the center of which the well is located.
 Should the flow continue as IL is, the city will not have to grant the Bisbee Naco water company any fraa- chise, so it is believed as there will be enough forthcoming to supply. not only the fire needs, for which the well was expressely sunk, but for all other municipal purposes as we'll
 The well was ordered sunk at the last meeting of the council on ac- count of the fact that the Copper Queen wished to withdraw the sup ply of water for fire purposes that it has heretofore been furnishing.

EARLY

Gives Clerks and Shop People a Chance and Takes Fatigue Away from Shopper
Shop Early.

Shop Early.
 This is a motto which every mer- chant in B-sbee is desirous of i'm. pressing upon his patrons and with good reason. Many of them have al ready commenced keeping open their doors until late in the evening in or der that shoppers may secure al they desire, every day, for the Christ. mas season. This is naturally d SC were strain upon the clerks, especially the women. To relieve this strain is the object of store keepers as well as many of the public.
 If everyone who wishes to purchase a present fer each relative ana friend should purchase as early as possible Christmas eve would be a far happier period for the clerk than it has ever been. If this method be followed the presents would be gradually secured without such effort to the purchaser and far less wear and strain upon the clerk.
 Let's go shopping today" sug gests Mrs. -.
 "Ail right" acquiesces the woman of good intentions and accordingly they start.
 Every store which can be visited in an afternoon is visited and the tired clerks are requested to pass. out each article, which may happen to strike the fancy of Miladi, for inspection Finally they move on saying they will come back later unless they see something else in some other place
 The average man enters. Stands idly at ease for a few moments gag ing around. Finally and desperately he examines few things, inquiries the price of one, makes his purchase and exits. Some men. however. are as bad as the women about shop ping, the store keepers state.
 If the general public could only remember and be little more consid- crate. there would bel fewer women clerks upop the verge of nervous pres tfation when Christmas morning dawns and tle shopping strain $ at last over.
