 Cochise Go. Press: Workmen are busy installing the 125 ton smelter plant of the Arizona Uuited Mines Company. This company is pushing the work to completion as fast as men and money can do it. Teams are busy every day hauling in material. The smelter site has been chosen on the east side of. the Republic shaft near the gulch. Ex- cavation in the hill has been made and the site leveled off is 150 feet square independent of the ore bins. The building will occupy a space 30x0O feet, and on the north side will be a retaining wall fifteen feet high, three feet wide at the base and two feet wide on top. One fifty horse power boiler, eighteen feet long and weighing 12,000 pounds has arrived and the foundation is about ready for the placing of it. A 5O-foot stack will be used.

MINING NEWS.

Prescott Courier: Documents transferring the title under bond, of the Rainbow mine in the Wal mt Grove district from James McNary to A. s. Hickey, were placed on record in the county re- corder's office today. The consid- eration mentioned in the transfer is 5000, payable July 5, 1910. The new owner is arranging to start the development of the mine which is considered among the many promising prospects of the district.
 Prescott Courier: R. B. Stanland was in the city yesterday attending to the preliminary details of or ganizing the Yavapai Metals Min ing and Reduction Company and arranging to start development of the company's property, located in a spur of the Black hills range seven miles southeast of Humboldt. Associated with him in the owner ship of the group is J. B. McGar- yey of this city and F. w. Hatch and T. 0. Prichard of Jerome.
 Miner and Stockman: Wilbur Treadwell of Phoenix and associa- tes in that city have acquired the Goldsworthy placer ground on Lynx creek and equipped it with concentrators and a magnetic se- parator invented by J. D. Allioude of Georgetown, Colo. The present plant is now treating about 100 cubic yards a day, concentrating eight tons into one. A cyanide plant will now be installed to treat the tailings.
 Prescott Courier: Nick McCar- yer has sold one-third interest in the Lexington group of claims. The Lexington group has ledge that is from 20 to 30 feet wide that will run from $6 to $14 per ton. The group lies about ten miles northeast of Wickenburg and joins the Grijalva mine, which has al- ways been good producer since its discovery. The stockholders of the Lexington expect to put force of men at work on developing their claims, and expect to have one of the heavy producers of Arizona be- fore long.
 Williams News: Geo. Montgom- cry has received assays from samples taken from his southwest Arizona mining properties and as a result of these assays he feels very sanguine and confident that he has started what will be one of most prominent gold mining camps oi the west. The assays run forty three dollars per ton, principally In gold. Mir. Montgomery says that the formation of the country IS identical with the Goldfelds, Ionopah and Cripple Creek dis ,llcts, namely porphyry, rhyolite and granite.
 Tombstone Prospector: Albert flnk, who is in the city from the nuachuca mountains, states that the mining activity in that section, while not on the boom, is showing material increase each week, and i' IS expected that by next fall work will be commenced by all JCmpanies having holdings in that uStrlct, Mir.

WHY MEAT is SO HIGH.
A Few Expressions that Don't Clar-
lfy Matters at All.

a Few Expressions that Don't CIaf.
ify Matters at All.
By this time, summing up the va.
ried statements of those in the bust.
ness, it is possible to form remark
ably clear ideas of why we are pay,
ing more for meat than the resi-.
dents of most other places. The pa.
tient and lucid explanations of the
retail dealers lead us to these def
mite conclusions:
The prices Of meat are no higher
in Providence than they are in Bos-
ton or in any other community in
this part Of New England.
The prices Of meat are noticeably
lower in Providence than they are
in Boston.
The reason why meat is higher in
Providence than in Boston and other
cities is because the people of Provi-
dence eat more meat than anybody
else.
Meat is higher in Providence be-
cause of the greedy farmers. The
farmer gets all the money.
The high price of meat in Provi-
dence is due to the high price OF
ice.
It is all on account of a sharp adj
vance in the price OF cleavers, and
deterioration in the quality Of
steel. A cleaver does not last as
long as it used to. Some markets
are compelled to get six new cleav.
ers a year, where four were an am
pie supply five years ago.
The weather isn't what it used to
be, and so meat is higher.
Meat is high in Providence be-
cause Providence people have ha5-
it of not paying for it.
The reason is the high freight
rates. The railroads charge higher
rate from Chicago to Providence than
from pascoag to Woonsocket.
Meat is high because Of the grad.
ual disappearance of the clam and
the lobster.
Providence people pay more for
meat than is paid by any other peo-
pie because they love the market
men and realize that the latter al
ways give them square DEAL
The price Of meat in Providence is
higher than in Boston because it is
better meat.
The Providence price is no higher
than the Boston price.
The Providence price is lower
than Boston.
The farmer gets all the money.
After these clear explanations any
one who is'unable to understand the
whole situation must be dull of COM
prehension. --Providence Journal.

The cRIckEr SONG.

J8panSS6s sgSsHY
Here in my lonely cottage,
Now winter winds are co
heafken to the crickets,
And sigh that / am old.
hear their small bells tinkle
Like beads of silver rain
That break on the brooks in summer
And dream / am young again.
see my native rice fields
Flushed with streams in spring
And i hear the frogs, SO many
The waters seem to sing.
Sweet are the rivers of Settsu,
The rice-streams sweetest of all.
For there all day in the sunlight
The cherry-blossoms fall
Nothing falls here save snow-hakes,
Blown from the wintry sky;
No light here save from embers
That sullenly smoldering die:
No sound save the bells OF my eric
kets,
Somewhere in the darkness rung.
And the sigh of the poor old singer
For something that still is young!

Fifty Of the Tribe Now Living In

Indian Territory.
Placidly smoking the pipe of peace.
apparently forgetful Of the eventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives and
survivors of the renowned Modocs.
who took part in the most interest
ing Indian rebellion in American his
tory, are living ON allotments near
Miami. l. T. These fifty are perhaps
the only survivors or relatives Of the
once powerful tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remem-
bered, were an Indian tribe of north
ern California and southern Oregon.
In 1872 they became turbulent and
refused to remain on their reserva-
tions. Gen. E. r. s. Candy. vet
enan of the Mexican and Civil wars,
was sent against them, but they, af-
ter firing on the United States forces,
retreated to the lava beds The ad-
vance Of the United States troops
was greatly impeded by the peculiar
topography of the country, and a
good many of them were picked of
by Indian sharpshooters concealed
behind the rocks and crags Of the
lava beds. Efforts were then made
to negotiate with them, and a con-
ference was held between Gen. Can
by and two peace commissioners on
the one hand and number Of Mo-
docs, including their chief, Capt.
Jack. on the other While Gen. Can
by and his aides were seated on
stones around a small fire two In
dams who were concealed in the
bushes rushed from their hiding
place with guns and shot to death
the General and one of his compan-
ions. A vigorous campaign was then
begun against the treacherous Indi-
ans, and in the following summer
Gen. Jefferson G. Davis, who succeed.
ed Gen. Candy, captured the Modoc
band. Capt. Jack and three other
leaders were tried by a military COM
mission and hanged, while two 9TH
ers were imprisoned for life. About
100 who had not followed Capt. Jack
were permitted to remain in Cali
fornia. The remainder, about 145,
of whom the fifty are either surviv-
ors or descendants. were transferred
to the Indian Territory. Altogether
the war cost 100000. sixty-odd SOL

The two boys were just leaving the
Cohen & Book flour mills, on the
east side of the railroad at Mill
Street They were in runabout
and were crossing the railroad track
just as the Old Point express APP
preached. The mills INSTRUCTED the
view on the east side OF the track.
1t was cold, windy day and it is
supposed the boys did not hear the
train approaching The runabout
was struck by the engine of the ex-

Isaac was thrown from the carr
riage and picked up in an uncon-

Several accidents have happened
in the past at this crossing, which
is considered one of the most dan
