PALMER NO. 2 DOES NOT
AFFECT OUTPUT OF NO.

SANTA MARIA, June 5.-The phe-
nomenal Palmer No. on the Bloch-
man lease, after run of two weeks
at the rate of about 1000 barrels day,
sanded up on the night of May ~. AZ Az
This time. however, it is being put on

lieved Of the plug of sand.
Contrary to expectation, the enor-
nous production of this we'll did not
in any way affect that of the Palmer
No. /, only few yards away. This
expIodes the theory often advocated
that the Palmer No. 1 was lucky

of gas and oil and proves that the
vein of oil bearing sand running
through this section is not only eN-
tensive. but has an apparently mex
haustive reinforcement.

LARGEST CASING IN FIELD

SANTA MARA, June 5.-The drill
of the New Pennsylvania Petroleum
company on the Fulger tract was
stopped at 3555 feet and the men are
now awaiting the perforating of the
pipe preparatory to finishing up the
hole.
This we'll has the largest casing at
Maria field being an S-inch. The per-
forating is in the hands of Brinkman,
the expert from Bakersfield, and the
test for oil will possibly take place in
short order. Every indication points
toward a valuable production.

ENGINEERS FIND
CLEARS MYSTERY
Closing Chapter in Love Affair Is
Told by the Discovery
of Skeletons
SPANISH GIRL IN A ROMANCE
Old Gun Found Near Santa Rosa
Mine Was Used by Lover
in Last Fight

DOUGLAS, Ariz., June "a strange
sequel has come to light in connection
with the finding of three skeletons ana
an old Sharp army rifle of the cavalry
type of 1860 by Mining Engineer w. IL.
Worthington while making an exam
ination of a prospect near the Santa
Rosa mine in the Nocozari district a
few days ago.
The discovery is the last chapter in
a romantic elopement which was one of
the love themes of the borderland thlr-
ty-six years ago in the days when the
Yaqui and the Apache Indians and the
renegade desperados wed with eacn
other In daring of their holdups and
the cruelty of their methods in extort-
ing the last coin from their victims.
Worthing reached a high peak,
with sides so precipitous that no horse
could have been ridden up to the sum-
NIT.
There he found the old Sharp gun.
The trigger was cooked and the gun
loaded and beside 1t the skeletons OF
three people, one of them that OF
woman. The bodies had never been
buried. The gun was brought to Doug
las, where many examined it. An agent
of one of the big firearm companies
identified the weapon, and stated IL was
manufactured in Springfield, Ill, IN
1860, and was for the caValy. The gun
was never in general use in the south
west, and how it came to Mexico was
mystery.
CLERK CLEARS MYSTERY
A mystery until Clerk Lupert. in the
government customs house here, told
his story. In the days of danger ana
hardship his father started little
hardware store on the border. one
night there dashed up to the store two
men and pretty Spanish girl: one OF
the men explained that the girl was his
sweetheart,fi that her father had OBJ
iected to his marriage to her, While
friends in Guaymas were friendly to
the match.
Their plan was to cross the border,
follow the old Canine Real down
through what Is now the Tigre district
of mines, strike the Yaqui river ana
continue on to Guaymas, where smell
ter would be given them and the mar
riage take place. The bridegroom DIS
played a heavy belt of golden nugget
hammered into fiat discs. With two
of these he paid for the Sharp rlne' the
only one in the store.
A few hours later the father or the
girl dashed into the store. He learned
he was on the right track. and swear
ing vengeance on his daughter ana the
two men, he took up the trail IN not
pursuit. Two weeks later he returned
saying he had been unable TO locate
the party and gave up the chase.
Day by day he waited for news from
Guaymas. None ever came.
But now the finding of the three
skeletons adds the last chapter to the
romance and the triple tragedy. for 1t
is plain the party met band of In
dians or renegades, saw their danger
took refuge on the crags, and were
then shot defending themselves the
best they could with the old relic now
on exhibition.

PLAN LARGE SMELLING PLANT

BISBEE, June 5.-Many we'll in
formed people in Bisbee are confident
that the consolidation of the Calumet
& Arizona and Superior & Pittsburg
properties will soon be announced The
controlling interests in both companies
are practically identical, and merger
of the two would, because of many
economies, prove beneficial to each.
Calumet & Arizona has the advan-
tage of a large cash reserve and
smelling plant, but the mine has prob
ably not over twelve years life, while
the Superior &, Pittsburg has a larger
territory and the recent developments
In the mine indicate longer lease of
life than in the Calumet & Arizona.
The two properties adjoin, and it is
said that when the consolidation is
erected the capacity of the smelter
will be increased to bring up the com
pined production to 60000,O00 pounds
annually.
The Calumet & Arizona has recent
ly opened up a new body of per cent
sulphide ore on the 1850 foot level of
the Oliver shaft and at the Superior
& Pittsburg a big body of oxides is
being explored on the 100 foot level of
the Junction shaft and on the l5O0
foot level of the Junction shaft the ore
body has thus far been proved to be
so feet wide and 100 feet long, with lts
limits still undetermined.
TO EXTEND INTO SONORA
The Copper Queen company, which
furnished electric light for the towns
of Bisbee and Dauglas, will probably
supply electric power to Ell Tigre mine
in Sonora, which is controlled by Kan
sas City capitalists, but in which the
Phelps Dodge company holds large
stock interest. Officials of the company
have recently conferred with the man
ager of the Phelps-Dodge company in
Douglas and should satisfactory terms
be arranged the mill and all machin-
cry will be operated by electric power
and an electric railroad will also be
constructed to the mine from Douglas.
It is stated on good authority that
the Phelps-Dodge company has agreed
to finance the building of the new
railroad from Silver Bell in Pima
county to Port Lobos on the Gulf of
California, a project of F. M. Murphy
of Prescott, and this will be in accord
with the present intention to extend
the Ell Paso & Southwestern system by
way of Benson, Winkelman and Kelvin
to Phoenix. surveys for which are now
being made.

Kniuhted Actors.

It is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize the names under which they had won fame. The question arose with the first proposition to confer knighthood on a gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as Henry Irving" existed. No such obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diamond Jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. How ever, the three actors knighted by King Edward bore cognomens of their own invention. Sir Charles Wyndham was born Culverwell, and Sir John Hare, Fairs. As for Sir Herbert Beer bohm Tree, his brilliant wife once put it "'Tree' is a fantastic thing we just tackled on. We're all plain Beerbohms plain as brother Max"'-Argonaut.

Heat.

Little things like bacilli will live in temperature of above 211 degrees r. Experimental observations of stokers have shown that man is a cousin to the salamander. Dante made six fiery circles of he'll and felt constrained to resort to ice for the seventh and last condemnation of souls. Heat, in other words, is a relative term. Heat is beneicient if you like things hot. It depends on the point of view. Heat is supposed to be enervating The hook worm is engendered by it. But, then. race horse will go much faster on a hot day than a cool one. The fiercest rays of the sun appear to lubricate the joints.

OriqinaI of EaIstaff,

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great eowardice When Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned it with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolf's matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for, having married widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own lifetime.

The Old Enolish Prize Rinu.

In the latter days of the English prize ring innumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. A favorite plan was to pitch the ring on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial Jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan in 1860 a special train was run from Lon don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets, pugilists, clergy and, it is said, few bishops, eheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" !" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the fight occurred.-London Chronicle.
