Greatest English Heiress

The industry of her grandfather viii.
make Edwina Ashley, daughter of Win
fred Ashley, the greatest heiress in Eng
land when Sir Ernest Cassel dies. The one
daughter. of Sir Ernest was married to
the granddaughter and heir Of Lord Pal
merston, and the joint fortunes descend
ing to Edwina will put her far in the
lead Of women of fortune. King Edward
has been besought by Sir Ernest to find a
peerage for Ashley, but thus far has not
acceded to request. 1t is probable that
when Lord Palmerston dies, however his
rank will fall on Sir Esnests son-in-iaw.
If personal influence with the King will
help, Ashley is assured of the title, Sir
Ernest commonly is referred to as Wind
sor" Cassel because of his intimacy with
the King. His rise from humble circum-
stances has won the admiration of the
English. Fifty-eight years ago he was
horn of Jewish parents in Cologne, and
when ne came to Liverpool worked { 5 a
bankers clerk for Il few shillings a week.
Since reaching London he has been fam
GUS for his daring fotations and promo
lions. He financed the SIPS. 900, COO Assouan
Tam and the London subways and he is
known as the financial adviser of King
Edward.

of 1.-THE Blue Bird" 1t owes its inspir-
alton to Maeterlinck's poem-play of
that name. and the object of the new

 FROM OvERWORK
EXPERT ACCOUNTANT OF PHoE- NIX FORCED TO SEEK REST ON COAST

PHOENIX, Sept 7:- c. T. Willis of Phoenix, an expert accountant, who, since the office of territorial ex- aminer was abolished by the legis- lature, has been employed by various counties of the territory as county examiner, arrived in Tucson recently from Solomonville on his way to the coast to recuperate from a partial loss of health.
 Willis spent more than a month in Tucson last spring in examining the books of the city. From Tucson he went to Yuma to perform the same service for Yuma county. For the past couple of months he has been engaged in examining the books of Graham county. Ae Soromonvilie, where considerable notoriety was oc- casioned recently by the reports of irregularities in the conduct if some of the county ifficers. It was while engaged in this work that Willis broke down.

 On account of this reputation, I came very near returning to Bisbee after reaching Nacozari, but I was determined to see the toughest min Ing camp on earth, and can truth fully say that I am glad that I came, and today send to Bisbee for my family, after a months stay in the camp.

He is now in Nacozari and seeks to defend that camp from un- just attacks, which he seems to think it has been subjected to from some quarters.

 My Dear Sir:-
 Just a few words to you in jus ace to this camp, one of the greatest and best in the world.
 I note in your paper of a recent date. where you say that a Mexican killed three Chinamen, and that there was quite a feeling amongst the na- tiyes here in regard to the Chinamen working in the mines.
 will state to you the facts con. cerning the killing. It was drunken quarrel between Nazario Escalante (e
 well known Mexican around the bor' der, he having worked in all the prospects around here, both in Mexico and Arizona) and another Mexican the result was that EscalaEte got his throat punctured with a dirk, death resulting instantly. As to the hard feeling amongst the natives, there if nothing of the kind.
 Chinamen are used for carmen and muckers. also Japanese. Mexicans do the mining, timbering, cageing, etc. and very seldom a Mexican will ask for a mucking or car running job therefore there is no friction between the employees here.
 Another thing l wish to state ia
 that this camp is running under (
