RingIing Bros. Circus
 at Tucson and DouqIas

Ringing Brothers wor d's greatest show is to visit Tucson Tuesd y, Sept, 2S. and Douglas Wednesday. Sent. 29 afternoon only-coming this season with nes laurels won at Madison Square Garden in New York because of the unprecedented excellence of their performances. It is in all re- spects the very best circus that was ever orge nized, and the two perform. ancee that will be given in Tucson and one at Douglas will be given exactly ss they were presented in Msnhsttan, , not the slightest change having been made since the season opened there.
 There are DO lees than seven senss. tions on the program. any one of which is great enough to give a circus 
 This will be the only opportunity for the people of Tombstone to see Ringing Brother circus and probably never again will such an array of European talent be seen under one management. as the expense of giving such 8 program is almost beyond belief.

Authorities Are
 Very Slow Act

Several weeks ago Mexican named
 Servsntes was brought over from
 Bisbee and examined as to his sanity.
 it was ascertained during his exsmin- s.:on .ha: he had been in the Ua,ted
 States less than year and was proper subject for the immigra.,on service of Uncle Sam to deal with, being candidate for deportation un. dei she law. The immigration au- thorities were notified, but SO far have fsi'ed to take any steps in the matter. ID the meantime the Mexican is held in the county iail and is the cause of trouble to the ;a 10. and the guards. The sheriff's office is anxious to get him of their hands. Unless some action is taken by the United states officials at once, 1t is probable that he will be committed to the territorial institution at Phoe- nix.

Destructive Blaze
 This Mornino

About II o'clock this moroing fire destroyed the home of Mir and Mrs Dave Thompson on Fremont street. on the corner o! Tenth. Tine fire had made considerable hesdwsy before the department reached the place. Dense cloud. ot smoke envelopsd the frame structure and for t.me it was feared the adjoining homes of George Mscia 1n the east and Councilman Cavanseh on the west were in danger. Mean. Snlie the fire Was com bstted with diff. cuity. It was impossible to reach or save any contents in she burning ouild .ng. and when the CavanaeS residence was in imminent danger many willing rescuers carried out
 household effects into the street. The fire was confined, however. and the Thompson home was lief. a complete wreck from the ravsees of the flames. MT and Mrs Thompson suffered complete loss of household fleets, many treasured heirlooms also being lost. The origin of the fire is 'el eyed to have been due to 8 defect i've Hue, the fire starting in the k tch. en roof. Mir and Mrs rnomp.on were several blocks away when the alarm "as given and hurrying to the scene 'ound their home m fiimes and unable to save any effects.

Mescal" Tells How

 Frank Alley has just returned from . trip to Mexico and describes the making of mescai on its native heath m the following contribution to TIE PRosPEcToR:
 We went to the camp of Antonio Gsvilsndo. Never since the days of knight errantry hss one had the pleasure of meeting such Napoleon of splendid civility, ouch Chester. feld in the rough. such an uncon- scious. uncoined diplomat and master of the science of hospitality.
 "rony" handles 6 mesc Il factory where he turns ou. thirty 40-gslion barrels per month. Enough to rib ID ten thousand fights, to send 6 thousand hombres to the jusgsdo and to string out Yaqui can,atss and Aztec chants till they would reach ground the earth if they and their acoustic effects were all spliced to- gether.
 Workmen go to the mescsl fie de and they turn the grown plant over with a bit- pointed hsr, and they de nude it of it's formidable swords by standing it face down and using q long butcher knife fixed ID two-foot wooden handle and you imagine when you bear them dressing the nescsl head that you hear mother slicipg cabbage for dinner
 Then they bring the hesds in, sluns over the burros, the heads being tied together by 6 few blades which are re- tanned for that purpose. Some time one burro cannot carry two heads. SO they split one large one and strsddle it across him. Some of those heads weigh ss high as 3G0 pounds.
 When everything is ready they put these heads, usually about 500. in a pit and roas, them till they come out almoet like brown sugar. The per cent of sscchsrine is very high. Most of the people, all the horses, mules, burroe, cattle, hogs, gosts and every thing perhaps but the dogs (snd 1 am not author,ty for that practIc ally live on the mescal pulp. And they are all fat. Yes, Tony sent for barrel of anti-ist to keep his pullin stock from getting 60 fat he couldn't use them
 Tony has 25o head of hogs. Hogs to the right of us, hogs to the left of us, etc. I slept on . glorious old cot outside under the romantic moon. and there were the hogs,
 One at the foot and one at the head. And one munching mescsl under my bed.
 Roasted mescsl smells like 8 cross | between birthstone and a second class penitentisry. But, vat minute. did not finish telling you how the clear, co 1 devil wash .e msde.
 The roasted heads are thro sn iu 0 1 snother pit which resembles the uid fashioned pits where the clay wac ground with sweep. and the heads are reduced to 6 pulp in the same identical manner. Then it i- transferred to barrels, supplied ~i;h water and allowed 10 ierment. end you can hear it bubbling and popping ss that process prnceeds- After it is fermented it is di.tilled in the god old way. It is frequently d"dble dis titled, ss that leaves many fghts and jimmies out of the deco:tion and eliminates many low grade evils and improves the Aztec voice in the glosm- ing. It is then bsrrelsd up and sod to the succulent sucker for whatever the producer can get.
