Miss Hall is illustrative and bears q little touch of heart interest. Ir the Clifton schools her remarks wer, listened to by a little Mexican boy in the eighth grade He had not been the most successful pupil but was working hard and doing his best Her remarks explained to the children the nature of her work and in the course of them she told where she was stopping. The next day Msis Hall answering a rap at her door was rather surprised to see the little Mexican boy whom she recog nized as having seen in the class though she had not learned his name
 He carried a little roll of manu- script under his arm and timidly pro offered it saying he thought she might be interested in it. She looked it over and after questioning the boy found that it was the story told by his grandmother. of the trip of her family from old Mexico into the Cliff ton district twenty-five or thirty years ago She had told it to her -i sliANAsnbI dl HIS request III SDdIlSn. He had written it down and then la boriouSly translated it into the best English he could command. probably working half the night to do it It contained many facts the historian was glad to learn, but even had it been valueless the friendly interest Of the little fellow made it a prized document And he was so pleased with the recognition of his effort that just before Miss Hall left Clifton he came around again to bid her good bye and thank her for her kindly en- couragement. There is a lot in life beside dollars and cents and a lot in ones work. beside mere results.
 Miss Hall on this trip visited Bis bee and Douglas and then returned as far as Wilcox which she made a central point for her labors for week or so. She went from there to Dos Cabezas which is not mucn of a place but is historic in many ways as prospecting camp and in the heart of the Indian country The Mascot mine she says is the most promising industrial enterprise there just now. Then she passed on to old Fort Bowie which she says is one of the most unique of AriZona's points of carly day interesT. now ut terly abandoned and desolate. but at one time the center of activity against the Indian chief Cochise The walls Of the old buildings still stand. set in a rugged pass. wild and wierd and remind one of the ruins of Pom 1eii
