1t was announced last week that
the directors Of the Arizona Copper
company had decided to build new
reduction works. The site selected
is about three miles down the river
from the present site, and on the same
side Of the river. IL is above any
reach Of high water that may come,
and so will be safe from what Is the
greatest danger to the present works,
floods, The company has engaged
DIR. Ricketts,, who planned the Cana
nea reduction works, and most Of the
works that have been erected by
Phelps, Dodge 8 Co., in recent years,
to have charge Of the building OF the
new works, which insures an up-to-
date smelter. For some years the
company has been contemplating new
works, and wanting to get out Of
Chase creek. There is some appre-
hension that the moving Of the smell
ter will make a slump in Clifton real
estate, but as a matter Of fact 1t will
improve the value of real estate In
the town, as the removal of the smell
ter smoke will make it a more pleas
ant place to live. The works and the
town will be connected with a trolly
line, which will enable the workmen to
live where they now do and still be con-
venient to the works. The court
house will not be moved, and that is
the important thing that will keep
Clifton where 1t is.

This has been one of the rainiest
Junes In the memory of the oldest

more rain the exact figures cannot be
given now, but far more rain than
the average has fallen. This is true

tory, and the dry farmers in the east

The gambling law in New Mexico is
almost as uncertain a proposition as
the Sunday law. In some of the dis
tricts a man who plays draw poker is
considered a criminal, and suffers ac-
cordlngly. In other districts it is not
held to be a violation of the law to
ante and draw two cards. There have
been several old time poker games
in town this week, and the men from
Arizona who are here with their fast
horses have been enjoying themselves
accordingly.

glance toward his tiancee.
"You are both foolish children" ad-
monished practical Mrs. Douglass as
the camels turned on to the broad stone
bridge that spanned the river. They
fell into silence after that, threading
their way among the crowds that
thronged the thoroughfare, the shrill
cries Of their dragomans mingling with
the snuffling grunt Of the camels and
the chatter of the throng.
On the other side it was quieter, and
as they paused for an instant upon the
edge Of the dim plain, drinking in the
majesty Of the silence and the dark
ness and the splendor Of the star jew
eled sky, Jean broke the stiffness with
a nervous little laugh. II feel as

her pretty ears with her pretty hands,
"Oh, very we'll, my dear! suppose

one Of patient resignation.
"Of course, father, and Jack and
will ride little way on to the desert"
When they had advanced hundred
yards into the plain the lovers halted
their beasts and sat silently, wrapped
In the beauty Of the night. A strange
sitting radiance seemed to be diffused
from the starry sky, and sweet warm
breeze stirred the hair on their uncOv-
cred heads. They could dimly see one
another in the mystic light, and Car
r1ngton was In the act Of expressing
the tender words that lay upon his
lips when little cry from Jean star
tied him.
"What is it," he asked, drawing
nearer to her.
"Look!' she cried breathlessly. She
pointed upward to where a small, THU,
cloud took form out Of the darkness
and seemed to hover over the girls
head. 1t writhed and twisted in the
| light breeze, and then, swelling softly,
1t settled upon her shrinking head in a
clinging, sinuous embrace.
"What is 1t. Jack? Take it of. 1t is
suhocating me-" Darlington leaned
over and snatched at the dark, cloud
like thing that had blotted out the face
Of his sweetheart, and it came away in
his eager grasp. 1>..-. -...,,s

A Secret Service

At the time the foreign legations
were shut up in Picking and the united
armies Of the powers went there to
free them, with the American army
was soldier by the name Of Higgins.
He had become stagestruck when quite
young and had Joined the supers In
theater. He had never risen as an &C.
tor, but had been put in charge Of the
properties. From the theater he had
gone forth as an assistant to presti-
digitator and become sufficiently ex-
pert to take his principals place In
case Of necessity. The prestidigitator
died, and Higgins was stranded. Then
he enlisted In the army.
When the allied forces were working
their way up to the walls of Picking an
American general wished for secret
service man to 60 forward and recon
hotter. 1t was desirable to know what
distractions were in the way. where
were the entrances, etc. No one could
be found to undertake the work till it
was mentioned to Higgins, who said
that II he could get certain articles
from the ordnance department and GER
tain materials from other sources he
would undertake to bring the informa-
ton. He succeeded in gaining what
he wanted and, dressing himself in
fantastic costume, started forth on foot
for the city.
Walking along a road with no other
weapon than q light cane, he met a
party of Chinese Boxers. Since Hig-
gins was coming from the direction of
their enemies the Cinnamon were dis
posed to chop him up at once. but
they couldn't understand bis queer
costume There is not a more super
stitious race in the world than the
Chinese unless it is certain low grade
Nohammedans. As the Boxers ap-
preached Higgins, seeing him come
right along without fear. their courage
began to ooze out at their finger ends.
They stopped and waited for him to
come up. Higgins tossed little

harm. 1t scattered them. They turn
ed and saw the stranger marching on
silently like specter. He raised his
hat. and every hair on his head stood
straight up. That took what courage
there was in them. and he saw them
no more.
The next lot of Boxers he met were
bolder. They blocked the road and
cried out something in Chinese which
Higgins didn't understand. Higgins
stopped. One Of the Cinnamon advanc.

When the Cat Was Sacred.

they had in the old religion Of Egypt.
The cat Aelurus was embalmed after
death and buried in the city of Bubas-
tbs because, according to Herodotus.
Diana Bubastis, the chief deity of the
place, was said to have transformed
herself into a cat when the gods ded
into Egypt.

nary circle Of fire about It with the

The advancing man retreated on his
supports.
One Of the Boxers now brought gun
to his shoulder and fred at Higgins.
1t was close call for the soldier. for
the bullet whistled within an inch Of
his ear. Had not the Boxer who fred
been affected by superstition he would
probably have killed his man. Higgins
didn't lose his presence of mind. but
turned the incident to his advantage.
he stood with his lips parted and
drawn 30 that his enemies could see
the ball they had fred held between
his teeth. Then. taking 1t In his hand.
he threw it among them. Had no
thrown q hand grenade he couldn't
have scattered them more eflectuaily.
Higgins was now getting near the
walls Of the city and began to use his
eyes. He also made notes and draw
lngs. He had pocket glass with him
and found it valuable. While he was
gazing a party Of Chinese horsemen
swept down on him. Though puzzled
at his appearance. they kept on. Hig-
gins faced them and. opening his
mouth, began to pull linked sausages
from his mouth by the yard This
stopped them. but when the apparition
drew back few yards and the China
mems hunger had conquered their
fears so far as to enable them to 90
forward to devour the precious meat
the sausages exploded in their faces.
Turning toward Higgins. they saw
him Economically splitting fire at them.
This was too much for their equanim.
1ty, and they ran.
Higgins now advanced as near as he
dared to the walls Of the city. made
some valuable observations and then
turned his face toward camp. On bis
way back the road was lined here and
there at distance by Cinnamon who
had witnessed the horrible magic and.
though curious. did not dare come very
near. BY the time he was nearing the
oAA~A Va AAo JVuAACy 4uANC u (IO"u was
following him. When they came too
near he would draw a circle Of flame
with his cane or spit fire at them.
Then the specter. or whatever It
was, appeared to grow-at least its
legs did-until at every step 1t gained
a couple of yards. It continued to
breathe out fire. and as the darkness
came on it's hat seemed to be contin-
ually burning without being consumed
And so marched the illuminated giant,
the country round about filled with
jabbering. wondering. trembling China
men. until finally all its lights went
out and 1t was seen no more.
Higgins appeared on the American
picket line. but as he was expected be
passed In without the countersign. He
gave the result Of his observations to
his general and was duly thanked
therefor. On the return Of the troops
to America he was made an officer for
gallant and neritorious conduct"

Is very elastic and admits Of many diff.
