F. (. Sutton Returns With Bride From

HAPPY COUPLE SERENADED BY MANY FRIENDS AT HEAD
 HOTEL.
CFrom Saturdays Daily

Quite an agreeable surprise was occasioned yesterday among the many friends in the city of F. c. Sutton, when he alighted from the train, accompanied by a bride. The event took place at San Rafael, Cal, few days ago, and an interesting feature of this hymenal occasion was that his most intimate friends were un- aware of the purposes of his mission until he returned to this city.
 His bride is a charming young woman, and social favorite in her home city. Mir. Sutton for some time has been the fireman on the yard engine of the s. F., P. & P. in Prescott He is very popular and with his bride has received many congratulations. They were extended a pretty serenade last night at their rooms in the Head House, the par Iors being thronged with many who came to wish them a happy and pros porous future.

USING DETRIMENTAL
 AXLES

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 2s.- The Santa Fe railroad has been try ing out the Western Engineering eompany's differential axle, and re- ports that a ear equipped with them has been run 130,760 miles on it's San Bernardino Valley Traction line with perfectly satisfactory results. During all the time no attention was paid to the axles, as they are self lubricating. One of the electric lines in Hawaii is fully equipped with the axle. and the ears of the Angels Flight in this city have recently been fitted with the invention.
 The purpose of this, axle is to les sen the flange friction with the ae- eompanying wear and tear on tracks and wheels, and the increased trac- tion power required in consequence, an obect sought by railroad men and inventors for years. Solid axles are now used, the two wheels so attach ed that they both turn with it at equal speed, or one must slide while the other turns on a curve. That is why they grind and shriek so loudly rounding the curves of the city streets.
 The differential axle is really two axles, one for each wheel; the ends of these are set into a strong box coupler, so that one turns independ- ently of the other. By this means there is no curve friction and grind ing and the efficiency of the motive power is largely increased

George c. Reese. who arrived in this section about five months ago, from Sumas, Wash, in the advanced stages of tuberculosis, passed away yesterday at the Mercy hospital.

PICK AND DRILL
 HAS SPLENDID SHOWING
(From Thursdays Daily.)

NfrOm InurSudy Oduy-)
 Reports in circulation during the past few days of a strike of rich gold ore being made on the proper ties of the Pick and Drill Mining company, near Humboldt, were con- frmed yesterday by E. w. Stephens, deputy assessor, who was at tine camp and personally investigated the zone where the best showing ever made in the development is in evidence. Mir Stephens states that he went down the main working shaft to the 600 foot level, after a round of shots had been fired. Before the muck was cleared away he picked from a two foot vein a sample Of the ore exposed. Returning to the surface he made a horn spoon test and was surprised to see the amount of gold in the pan. He also exam ined other points underground with similar shOwings.
 The plant had completed a five days test run on ores, and it was estimated that from $500 to s7OO was on the plates The mill is of six stamps, equipped with a new prin- eiple on concentrating, which gives good results. The camp is reported as one of the most thrifty in that country, and force of twenty min CTS is employed. The property is be- ing practically operated and there is every indication of it proving a success.

FROST DAMAGES
 VERDE FRUIT CROP
OFrOm Thursdays Daily.)

kFIOU luuIsudN Ddl4g.J
 According to a statement made yesterday by Deputy Assessor E. w. Stephens, frost during the early part of this month performed some of its characteristic freaks in the Verde Valley, destroying crops in one sec tion and in close proximity permit ting others to escape. As a result one-h half of the fruit is killed and the yield this year will be far below that of last Some of the unusual conditions witnessed were as fol lows:
 every bud in his orchard was nip ped and the loss will be complete. His neighbor, Ed. Cook, less than half a mile away, was more for sunate, and every tree will bear its quota.
 In the Upper Verde, at the or ehard of William Jordan, the frost passed over, but when the large in terests of the Verde Fruit company were reached, the destruction was disastrous, and but a very small yield will be had.
 The big Haskell orchard also escaped, and this year will have its largest output.
 On the Lower Verde about one half of the fruit is saved, while along Beaver Creek, Oak Creek and other outlying sections, heavy damage re- suited. One loss to be regretted is that of Henry Schuerman, on Upper Oak Creek, who will have practle- ally nothing to place on the mar ket.
 Another heavy loser is Henry Ames, in he same section. Clear Creek appeared to be out of the zone, and but very slight loss will be recorded. Since the destrue- tisn of their orchards, the owners will endeavOr to reeoup losses sus- tanned by devOtIng their time to agriculture.
 MT. Stephens states that he found prosperous conditions everywhere in that section. More land is under cultivation than in previous years, and the flow of water into the many canals is maintained at its custom ary measurement. All residents are thrifty and the big granary of the county never appeared to such good advantage as this year
 Another favorable indication of the country was shown in no beef cattle being for sale on the ad- joining ranges, the supply being cull- ed to its limit, with a heavy demand for more animals.
 The ne wterritorial bridge is being used and its splendid construction is the pride of the community.

sULTANA SURVIVORS.

WESTON, Ohio, April 27.-A hand ful of Civil War veterans who were among the survivors of the Sultana disaster, gathered here today in an- nual reunion. It was forty-six years ago today that the steamer Sultana, bound from New Orleans for St. Louis, loaded with Union soldiers re- turning home after being parOled from Confederate prisons, was de- stroyed soon after leaving Memphis by the explosion of her boilers. Of the 2,2OO persons on board only about 300 were saved.

 There Is room for a great Popuia- uou l1 the interior Of Alaska and along as many rich valleys which open out to the coast oI Southwest e-a Alaska So lar as so4 and cli- matte conditions are concerned, they are a, least equal to those presented .2 the Scandinavian peninsula.

 The uoy thing which initiates against the success of any movement 10 attract a large immigration into Alaska ,o settle 1e country and to develop its resources, lies in the fact that, instead os government aid to this desirable end there exists at present government opposition to it. IT the land laws are allowed to op- crate in Alaska; # the fake reserva- tons made in defiance of law, are opened; if public surveys are extend ed, and #, tn short, Alaska is given the same opportunity, under the same land laws, which was given to all of the Western states and territories, there IS 10 reason why, within very few years, a million people should not have comfortable homes and be laying the foundation for fortunes in that country.
 Itis certain that the Canadian gov ernmenJ will do everything possible to aid ia attracting immigration to it's own territory on the Yukon. That government is attracting American citizens by the hundreds of thousands with millions of money, by its liberal land policy, which contrasts so strongly and so fayOrably with the policies maugurated here at the be hest of political eOnservationists.- Seattle P.-L

Inertia of Bodies

Lay visiting card on the tip of the
left forefinger and on it place penny.
A quick flick of the card with the right
second finger will remove the card
without disturbing the coin. Another
trick which illustrates the inertia Of
sbodies is to knock away the bottom
of a pile of craftsmen without upset
ting the pile. This is effected quite
easily with the help of flat ruler.
The remaining craftsmen are removed
successfully by number Of smart
blows.
A more spectacular and apparently
risky trick consists of dra wing a news
paper away from under glass filled
with water. Provided. however. that
the table is smooth and the paper be
pulled away smartly and horizontally
there is no danger Of the water being
spilled. A certain we'll known conjurer
is able to remove the tab!ecloth from
under knives, glasses. plates, etc, as
laid for meal without dsarranginS
