NEW YORK, Saturday.
H- HERE are very few persons in New York who
do not Know-or think they know-1ust ex-
actly what the Bide-a-Wee Home is They
have all read about it so often in the news
papers that they can tell the inquirer in fash
that it is a place where ebandohed animals may find
temporary refuge Thus is the matter dismissed for
once and for ALL "There you are" they say. land
that's all there is to it."
Those persons are right far they go. Bde-a-
Wee is the Salvation Army of animaldom. But back
of the hurried definition, back of the curtain, there
is stage on which is being acted constantly drama
Of as many themes as the drama of its participants
masters.
Bide-a-Wee is the greatest real single theatre in
New York city. The comedy and tragedy and farce
to be found in it rival in variety the comedy and
tragedy and farce of makebelieve Broadway.
"Ah maybe" you sneer, "but only in the lives of
lot of dogs and CATS what in the world is the use
of making fuss what you dare call the drama
of their lves?" Indeed, are treating simply of
lot of dogs and cats"-abandoned dogs and cats, at
that But dogs and cats men and women, the
drama is there. And it, perchance, it may be not so
glamourous as the drama of makebeliev of living
human and souls it is true drama none the less
Every little slant of theme to be divulged herein
stands ready to be verified Distinctly it is up the
sceptics.
Not long ago those in charge of the home Of animal
drama received a call at the building in Lexington
avenue from a woman whose name figures in distinct
type in the social chronicles of the metropolis.

PIONEER FAvoRS
 STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA

Over twenty years ago, Robert Cornell of this city, was an enthus- iastie advocate of Statehood for Ari- zona. He voiced his views in the local papers at that time and the idea met with almost universal favor. In the Journal Miner of Sep tember IS, 1889, there appeared the following communication from his pen:
 "There are many reasons why Arizona should be a state. First, her people would have many ad- vantages that they have not got as Territory. With two Senators and a Congressman we would have more influence and command more recogni- tiOn in our national legislature. It has already been demonstrated by members of Congress that we would get the influence of the South and West to help us in getting appropri- ations from the government to re- claim our deserts by irrigation, as it is a well known fact that Arizona has more land than any other State or Territory that might be made productive with a proper supply of water, which would bring immigra- ton to cur Territory; it would bring the farmer, the mechanic, the miner and others. We would have influence and help to protect the silver dollar.
 "As mining is one of the greatest industries of the Pacific Coast, we would eventually have the combined alliance of the South and West, which would enable us to override the moneyed influence of Wall street and London, thereby revolutionizing the mining industry of the Rockies. For I tell you now, that as long as the moneyed kings have the sway that they have had and that they have even got now, the silver dollar hasn't much of a show.
 "Now, dear people, you are an intelligent class in Arizona; you are capable of judging for yourselves, if you will stop to read and consider, these most important questions.
 "We must have unlimited coinage of silver in order to further advance the interests of the miner, and that which helps the miner, helps all con- eerned.

 R. P. Wheeloek and wife came in from Searehlight, Thursday, and de- parted the same evening to the En- terprise mine, where they visited a day with Mrs. Wheeloek's parents, MT. and Mrs. W. s. Menseh. Return ing to Kingman, last evening, they took their departure to Michigan, where they will visit with the par ents of MT. Wheelock during the hot months. MT. Wheeloek has been in the employ of the Quartette company for the past two years.

questions to the Prescott Courier, for which I got a slight eriticising by that paper and the Journal-Miner. The Courier thinks I am extrava- gant and the Journal Miner says I am a candidate for the Constitution al eonvention.' Well, suppose I am; what of it7 "e don't want mem bers who would oppose it, for you could not expect such men to do any good for the cause.
 "I find within the last few days that a great many people wno were opposed to Statehood are falling in- to line. They have been thinking for themselves, regardless of the few petty squibs of a few newspapers that would like to be the leaders of public opinion and make the people believe that we are not ready to be- come a State.
 "Now, let us be a State and elect officers who will judiciously manage the affairs of a state, and in a short time you will see cattle on a thousand hills, fields of grain on our deserts and hundreds of quartz mills and reduction works in our mountains. Let us be a State.

EXCITED OVER CLEANUP.

Daniel Mccarthy, the mining man of Walnut Grove, arrived in the city yesterday, and brings the important information that the Norris & Quick placer mining plant had passed through a two days test run, with gratifying results. The machine in stalled was erected by its inventor, MT. Kimball. The scene of operations is on Milk Creek, which flows into the Hassayampa below the Carter ranch. The result of the cleanup has created considerable excitement in that section.

NEW DAIRY FARM
 IS ESTABLISHED
(From Fridays Daily.)

George A. Carter of Williamson Valley, prominently known in range circles, and a. large land owner, yes terday closed negotiations for the leasing of over 300 aeress of his farming lands in that section to Peter Papina, of the Swiss Dairy, of this city. The latter will close out his business here next week, ana move to the new location, and begin the manufacturing of butter on the most extensive scale that has ever been undertaken in Northern Ari- zona. He will use steam machinery, equipping the place with a modern plant, such as is in use at other eenters in the country where the output is heavy.
 The enterprise will begin with 200 of the finest mileh cows that can be secured, and as the demand grow. the herd will be increased. No pro- duet other than that of butter will be sold or manufactured.
 In speaking the intention to en- gage in the manufacturing of but ter, MT. Papina says that ne is inn bued with the sentiment of the com munity to supply home trade from home sources, and in selecting Will iamson Valley as a desirable place, is pleased to state that the Carter ranch is one of the finest in the country for pasturage, from which an unexeelled grade of butter can be produced.
 Another important feature attach ed to the enterprise is that praetie- ally every pound of the product con sumed in the cities and mining camps of this section is imported

PECULIAR PRANK OF
 LIGHTNING REPORTED
CFrom Mednesdav,s nailrn


 Lightning in its unfathomable an- ties, and its caprieious actions, was again exemplified a few days ago, on the Middle Verde, when it de seended into the front yard of a home and narrowly missed taking another human life. The bolt singled out the trunk of a tree that was hewn a few days before the storm occurred, and striking the een- ter of the stump, separated evidently into to two streaks, and entered the door of a home, when it killed two dogs and tore the sole of a shoe fro mthe foot of woman who was standing between the two canine..
 This thrilling episode was brought from the Verde by Essler Monroe. The name of the woman was not learned.
 The news of this unusual freak of the elements was learned by MT. Monroe from a man who arrived at Camp Verde a few hours after the occurrence.
 The two dogs were instantly kill ed and neither moved an inch from their positions on the floor. They were less than two feet from the side of the woman, one lying on her left and the other on her right. It is the supposition from their low position, the trend of the bolt was centered to that elevation after it became separated from the stump in the front yard, about twenty feet away. How the bolt could have struck such a small confine on the woman's shoe, and to have ripped the sole away without in the least affecting the eomposure or the phy- sical condition of the woman, will remain a mystery for science to ex- plain and give the reason for her miraculous escape.

nel. Of course this will not be done until the mines have been ex- plotted to a considerable extent, but it is among the possibilities that the gridiron of veins will be tapped at a depth of from 50 to 1900 feet by a working and drainage tunnel. In the event that this tunnel is run it will be the means of developing a large territory.
 The Needles Mining and Smelling company expects to strike the Prince George vein in the shaft now being sunk on the Infallible ground. This shaft is expected to cut the veins at the intersection where big ore may be reached.
 J. c. Lane and wife of Cerbat are visiting in Kingman. MT. Lane brought with him samples of gold ore from his mining property near the Flores, which shows much free gold. He reports having an eighteen inch streak of this class of ore in his shaft, and will be able to ship it to the shelter. The lower work ings of the mine show some lead, which carries the highest values in gold. Many years ago ore that ran well in the hundreds of dollars to the ton was taken from this vein.
 J. L. Phillips, consulting engineer of the Gold Road NJ. & E. company, came in from Los Angeles last Tues day, and departed to the mines. The company is getting the big mill in shape for the handling of a greater tonnage of ore. At the present time the ore is reduced to bullion for less than $4 per ton, while under the old system it cost about $11 per ton. Further reduction will be made in the cost of handling the ores when the capacity of the plant is increased. It is said that the per eentage of saving in this plant is as high, if not higher, than at any mill in the West.
 It is rumored that s. R. Porter will soon become superintendent of the Gold Road M. & E. company, position which he held several years ago. MT. Porter is thoroughly quail flied to fill the position. having had years of experience in the handling of large properties. J. L. Phillips, consulting engineer. will retain the position he now occupies, but will be relieved of much of the arduous work of managing the property.
 A. L. and N. M. Richardson came in from Los Angeles, Tuesday last, and nave gone to the London mine, where they propose to begin the sink ing of the main shaft below the pres ent level. It is the intention to sink at least 100 feet and drive the drifts on the vein. The mine is showing up well in gold values 2nd the vein

PLANS FOR VERDE RIVER BRIDGE
 FINISHED
From Saturdays Daily)

Plans and specifications for the porposed Territorial road bridge across the We're river at Camp Verde are in the city at the office ot Ter ritorial Engineer Girand, and bids for the construction of which, It l; said. will be advertised for in a few days. or as soon as the right of way is secured.
 As outlined, this structure will be of immense proportions, and when ready for traffic will be one of the largest and most substantial in Ari- zona. It will have length of 300 feet, with twenty feet in the clear, thereby affording accommodations for the easy passage of teams that may meet each other at any point. It will have two cantilever spans of 15O feet each, ten feet above the highest recorded water mark. That it will be of substantial make, 1000 yards of concrete will be used, to- gether with 125 tons of steel.
 Since it has been decided by the Board of Control to place this bridge at the above point, Engineer Girand has sent a corps of engineers to the crossing to make soundings, and in a few days this work will be finish ed. The change from Aultman was made after a monster petition was received asking that the Camp Verde site be selected.
 Mir. Girand will return today to the south, where many road matters on Territorial lines are to receive inn mediate attention. Among them is the Coehise work, bids for which are to be opened on the 18th of Sep tember for twenty-two miles up the Sulphur Spring valley, out of Doug las, which will later connect at Tue son. This distance will be the first section of the road to be built.
 It is also the intention to let con- tracts in Pima, Graham, Yuma and Coeonino counties as soon as the prOfiles are made, permitting of es- inmates being made. The Coeonino end will probably receive earlier con- sideration than any of the others, the purpose being to get the road way under operation over the Mo gollons as soon as possible and to avoid the winter snows in its con- struetion.

CHARLES SMITH IS
 REPORTED IfMPRoVING
From Fridays Daily)


 Charles Smith will recover from the bite of a rattlesnake, and not withstanding the fangs of the rep tile penetrated his flesh for a depth of at least half an inch, his at tending physician at the Mercy hos pital, last night, reported that his patient was in good condition, with no unfavorable symptoms. His tenn perature was practically normal, and the use of his limb was restored.
 Additional particulars were learn ed, yesterday, from L. J. Haselfeld, the Kirkland merchant, of the mis- fortune that overlook MT. Smith. He is a laborer on the s. F., P. 6 F., working out of Kirkland station. While coming down the track from the Bell Canyon direction, walking between the rails, in the dark, Wed nesday night, he was suddenly and without the customary warning of these reptiles, struck heavy blow on the right leg, above the ankle.
 He realized instantly what had oc- cured, and experienced the most in tense pain. Approaching his eondi- tion, and not having any remedies, not even a knife to open the wound, he made a hasty exit from that place to Kirkland. Arriving there he informed several people of his pre- dieament, when local remedies were applied. The wounds were opened, and peroxide of hydrogen freely ap- piled. Carbolic acid was also used. In addition to that treatment his leg was bound with a silk handker- chief to stop the circulation of the blood. A few hours later he was placed on the train and taken to the Mercy hospital.
 He was in bad condition on ar irving, with partial paralysis of the entire leg and without the use of his knee.
 He accounts for the reptile laying in the center of the track owing to the heat that is reflected from the steel rails, which these reptiles prefer, especially in the night time and evening, after the sun goes down. At this season of the year the customary rattling is not given. and it is his belief that immediately before he was struck he stepped on the body of the snake, with his right foot. The fangs passed through heavy overall cloth, his drawers and a very heavy pair of socks, otherwise the penetration would have been deeper and probably fatal
 He feels very grateful for the i'm mediate assistance extended him and the care exercised in his case since arriving in this city. He was suf- fering very little at late hour last night.

THROUGH COMBAT TO VICTORY
Strong, Vigorous Character Arrives at
Frultion by Wrestling With and
Overcoming Obstacles.

It is the wrestling with obstacles
and the overcoming of difficulties that
have made man a giant Of achieve
ment.
If we could analyze a strong, vigor-
Gus character, we should find it made
up largely of the conquering habit,
the habit of overcoming, says Orison
SWEET MaTden in Success.
On the other hand, II We should
analyze weak character we should
find just the reverse-the habit OF fail
ure, the habit Of letting things slide.
Of yielding instead of conquering-
the lack Of courage, of persistency or
grit.
There is the same difference be-
tween a self-made young man, who
has fought his way up to his own loaf,
and the pampered youth who has
never been confronted by great re-
sponsibilities that would exercise his
powers and call out his reserves, that
