The Last Stop.

One cold, wintry morning man

Ing down a steep hill at quick

feet; He began to slide and was
unable to stop. At a crossing half
way down he encountered a large,
heavy woman. The meeting was
sudden. and before either realized
1t collision ensued and both were
down hill, the thin man underneath,
the fat woman on top.
When the bottom was reached

cover her breath and feet, these
faint words were borne to her ear,
Pardon me, madam, but you will

Through the Telescope.

The Rev. John S. Lyon a short
time ago told a story in Boston
which ran about as follows: AN
old lady who on shipboard was
about to cross the equator for
the first time went to the captain
very anxiously and said: Captain.
can 1 see the equator? should
very much like to-
The captain smiled and replied,
after thinking for a moment: Per
haps l can arrange it: I'll try to do
So
Shortly afterwards, as the yes
sci neared the great line,' the cap
tain hastily summoned the old lady
on the deck.
Handing her the glass. Now.
said he, you may see the equator II
you look steadily and carefully
through the glass
Then pulling a hair from his
, red head, the captain held the hair
In front of the glass which the old
lady was intently gazing through.
Then he asked her: DO you
see the equator, madam
Still looking through the glass
she was at first silent, and then ex-
claimed: oh. yes. yes, certainly
and, oh captain, there is a camel
crawling up one side of 1t. "-Ex-

To School Trustees.

On account of the fact that we are
now separated from Marion county
and as the public funds of Dillon
county are not on a very good
foundation. the county board has
decided tnat 1t will be best that no
claims be paid from the public
school funds teachers salaries. The
TACT Is that we hardly have enough
money to pay the teachers salaries
until Christmas when the taxes will
begin to come in, with which we
can meet the obligations of the
schools. All claims will be paid af-
ter Christmas. but until that time
the trustees may take notice that NO
warrants will be approved EXCEPT
teachers salaries.

he has been imprisoned since he

Neither entreaties nor urgent ad-
vice regarding the danger to his
health from remaining permanent

ders, can induce Abdul Hamid to
leave the house and take exercise
in the garden.
He not only refuses to leave the
house, but remains stubbornly on
the first floor of the villa. He re-
fuses to descend to the ground
floor. believing that there is a dan
ger of bombs being concealed in the
celiar. Likewise he refuses to as

fears that the villa might be set on

GOOD RAINFALL BRINGS
 s. JOY TO srocKDdEN
CFrom Fridays Daily)

Yesterday the summer rains of the season fairly commenced, three days later than in the preceding years. From all sections the fall was reported as steady and heavy, and the long drouth may said to be broken.
 Passengers yesterday afternoon from the main line of the Santa Fe, who reched Prescott on the 4:22 train, state that along that line the rains were heavy, and especially in the Cedar Glade section, where a cloud burst must have occurred. The bed of the tracks was running deep in water at that place. The rain ex- tended as far west as Needles, Cal, also.
 Joe Massing, the mail contractor to Simmons, states that at Juniper a severe rain storm took place, and the fall was over and inen. Up to the time of his leaving Williamson Valley, no rain had fallen in that section, but as the trend of the storm was to the west, that eoun- try was probably reached later in the day.
 From as far south as Hooper, the storm was known to reach that dis triet, H. Helgerson, the mail driver, stating that when he left that sec tiOn it was raining hard and all day long he was travelling in the storm. It seemed to extend to all points east and west of that route, and at places was heavy.
 Yesterdays northbound train from Phoenix, when at the foot of Iron Springs hill, had a difficult time in crawling up that steep grade on slip pery rails, and running out of water for the engine after several attempts to reach the summit, it was deemed advisable to telegraph to the city for motive power. An extra engine was dispatched to the point, and the train came in two hours late.

GOOD RAINFALL BRINGS
 JOY TO CATTLEMEN

KINGMAN, Ariz., July 14 The Bi-Metals mine will install a forty stamp mill on it's property in the Kingman district, if water to the amount of 100000 gallons can bs developed. To seek this amount of water 8 dozen or 80 of wells are be- Ing bored on the property and every effort will be made to secure the aqua, as with the mill just at the mine every ounce of ore the muekers send up can be milled with profit. ~
 One thing is certain, the Kingman district is going to have a big Bi- Metals mill, for if the water seeking fails at the mine, a mill will be built here and it's number of stamps will be sixty. These stamps, in either event, will approach the size of those in use on the Vulture mine, in Mari eopa county, where they weigh 1,6O0 pounds and are the biggest in use in the Southwest, and as big as any that were ever used in California.
 There is no question of water SUD- ply for the mill at Kingman, for the body of water underlying the vol eanie floor on which this section of Arizona rests, is well developed. The objection to building the mill here is the fact that much of the ore com ing from the Bi-Metals will not pay to haul even this far, although it could be milled with profit at the mine. The mine, however, will turn out 800 tons of ore that may be milled here at a big profit and it is for this reason that the site at Kingman is figured upon in the case of the non-existenee of water at the property.
 The Vulture Development company which, however, has no aseertained connection with the mine of that name in Marieopa county, near Phoe nix, is sinking a shaft on it's prop erty at Lorena Flat. This shaft will have to go deeper than 300 feet in order to hit the vein, unless that perverse formation takes a decided dip, which is not expected. There is also some talk of a erosseut to the vein, although the management de- elares the shaft is the simplest and will stick to it. J. P. Hamilton is acting as foreman of the property.

CITY ENTITLED TO DELEGATES
(From Fridays DaiIy)

Mayor Goldwater is in receipt of an official communication from the executive committee of the Eighteenth National Irrigation congress, which will be held in Pueblo, Colo, Sep tember 25-3O. notifying him that this city is entitled to five delegates co the congress, and that he is himself a delegate ex-ofieio. He is also re- quested to notify the committee of his appointments.
 The mayor requests all those who desire to represent this city at the congress to notify him at once so that he can appoint delegates and issue the necessary certificates.
 Interest is becoming so universal in the congress work in connection with irrigation, drainage, forestry, deep waterways and home building, that it is hoped the city will be fully represented and that the delegates will do their part towards attracting the other delegates to the industrial possibilities of northern Arizona.

 VERSION OF SHOOTING

Editor Journal-Miner:
 HENRIETTA MINES, Big Bug District, July l3.-In regard to your article in the Journal Miner of the 12th inst, as to the shooting of NJ. Fitzgerald by Muller, your informa- ton on the subject is from some source not acquainted in any way with facts. I am working the Old Cypress group of mines under bond and lease, which is situated about 25O yards from Big Bug Creek, and went to the creek the morning of the 9th inst. for a bucket of water to cook breakfast, when I was shot from ambush by Muller.
 I am not placer mining, as stated, nor wanted to appropriate any water for any purpose except for domestic use, and where I took this water from the stream is nearly a quarter of a mile below Muller's house, or cabin, and in no way interfered with him or imposed upon him in the least.
 Knowing you will appreciate being apprised of the facts in the case, so as to correct the impression made by your article of the 12th, I take the liberty of giving you this statement of the facts, which can be verified by a number of prominent citizens residing in the neighborhood.
 Respectfully,

DAISY HAS
 GOOD ORE SHOWING
Crosscut in West Drift Exposes Thirty One Feet of Rich and Solid
 Sulphides
(From Fridays Daily)

That the United Verde Extension mine at Jerome, known as the "Lit- tie Daisy" will prove with deep development as large a producer as any is in the Verde district, was the unqualified statement made here yesterday by J. c. Cain, superintend- ent of the United Verde Extension Mining company. Superintendent Cain arrived here yesterday morn ing on a short business visit. He will return to Jerome today.
 "Deep mining in the Little Daisy will open ore bodies that may rival in size and richness the great United Verde deposits, he said. "The work already done proves that the Little Daisy has one of the greatest ore bodies ever uncovered in northern Arizona. It is true that the ore is being explored only a short distance below its apex although it is in the 500 foot level This is due to the great mass of conglomerate which covers the formations underlying the surface rocks to an approximate depth of over 800 feet. The show ing in the mine assures great fu- ture for the town of Jerome and the Verde district. With the Little Daisy in operation a few years hence the town will be among the leading mining centers of the South west"
 Speaking of recent developments in the property, Superintendent Cain said: "A drift has been run along the footwall a distance of 143 feet, in a westerly direction from the
