GETTING ON THE TRAIL.

There is a great deal l don't KNOW"
admitted Mr.. Collier, cheerfully. Where
is this office? Which way do we go?"
Upstairs" directed the box office
young man, briefly
That was the starting point of the ex-
petition. We climbed, and climbed, and
climbed, making sorties into the gloom
every no. and again. running into cul-
de-sacs, but no office. We became
breathless, discouraged, dismayed, Here
we were, lost in the mazes OF the WILL
lam Collier Comedy Theatre, without
even compass to direct our wandering
footsteps
Well" remarked William Collier, as
we sat down on a step to rest Il may
not know where the office in this blessed
theatre is, but | know a whole lot OF
places it is not. That is something
ganed Suppose we try calling for help?

Thereupon the noted comedian lifted
up his voice in a lusty cry for aid.

came an answering call. We redoubled
our outcres, and the answering call be-
came louder, nearer. Presently We could
discern the figure of Walter Collier in the
dimness above. Relief, then, was in
sight, and for the present, at least, the
peril was past
Come on upstairs" called Walter COL
lier to us.
Upstairs" said William Collier, in
dignantly, we've been going upstairs
for the last fifteen minutes; do you mean
to tell me there are more of them?"
only two flights more
William Collier evidently did not trust
himself to speak until we had begun to
toll up the second flight, then he turned
to me.

GOVERNMENT NOT ANXIOUS.

Neither i'm the National Palace is 1t
easy TO reconcile what one sees there
with the scenes with which one in imag-

government menaced by a revolution.
There is no scurrying to and fro of Cabl-

with anxious faces or other physical evil
dences Of minds distraught by dwelling
upon portentous possibilities of what the
events in the north may lead to. In the
Presidents anteroom there are the usual

one fact the insurrection has demon

his stern and implacable resentment at

DIRECTORS RECEIVE ENDORSEMENT OF
 STOCKHOLDERS
Recommendations Made by Ari- zOna Copper Co. Board are Unanimously Endorsed
 at Stockholders
 Meeting

On November 30th, a meeting of the stockholders of the Arizona Cop per Company Ltd, was held in Edin- burgh, and from unofficial reports re- ceived here this week, it is understood that the stockholders of the company unanimously endorsed the recommen- dations of the Board to the effect that new smelting plant be constructed on a new site, south of Clifton, oppo- site the stockyards. Dr. l.. D. Rick etts, consulting engineer for the pur- pose of building the new reduction works, has been in Scotland for the past three weeks in consultation with the directors and stockholders and it is understood that the preliminary plans and purposes of the directors, regarding the new reduction plant in Clifton, were well received by the stockholders
 Local officials here are daily ex- pecting official advices from the direc- tors to make ready for the commence ment of actual contraction work. It is believed here that actual work will be under way within the next ninety days.
 Since the Arizona Copper Co. direc- tors were here last it is learned that no time has been lost. Engineers have been busy every day working on the plans to bring before the stock holders for their endorsement The Improvements called for by the com pany will require the expenditure of sum approximating two and a half million of dollars.
 It is safe to say that all obstacles have been removed and the big con struction work will soon be under way.

STRUCK BY TRAIN

Tuesday afternoon Toni Spesia let a friend have his fine saddle horse to ride up to Morenci, and the rider, taking the Coronado railroad tracks got caught by the incoming Metcalf express just this side of the Rock House, and becoming frightened he stayed on the track. The train struck the horse and rider with full force, killing the horse and throwing the intoxicated rider about 30 feet, and as usual he was unhurt, but the poor animal was crushed to death. No blame was attached to the train crew as the rider had no business on the right of way, and the train was coming around curve at the time the accident occurred.
