ton at the ball given by Lord VIM
terton the other night with her Inn
personation of Juno. she had her wish:
although perhaps not in just the way
she had imagined.
Tho great ballroom at Claridge's was
we'll filled when Mrs. Aston, clad in
pink luz with a mantle of turquoise
blue. and leading a live peacock by a
gtlded chain. swept into the room. She
wore a classic crown Of solid gold,
carried a long, gilded staff and wore
sandals which showed her bare feet.
Creates Big Sensation.
Her progress down the room was a
triun.nh, shared by the peacock which
spread Its tail proudly and seemed
fully aware Of the attention he was
attracting.
Suddenly the bird became frighten-
ed at the lights or the noise and the
sensation Of the evening began.
ehrieking wildly. he broke away and
q about the room, frightening the
women so that several Of them seemed
about to faint. Lord Falconer proved
himself q hero. Assisted by other men
he captured the bird and enclosed him
IA Q stockade built Of gilt chairs. The
bird was quiet for a few minutes and
Mrs. Astor went to dance while Lord
FalcOner mounted guard.
Left alone. the peacock became lone

Dancers Chase tho Bird.
"Tally-Ho!" shouted someone and
the hunt was up. The birc. ran among
the dancers and was kicked and
trampled upon until he was nearly
dead before some of the hunters grab
bed him. Then he was imprisoned in
IN empty champagne case and carried
out. He was turned over to a liveried
footman who carried him back. to the
dealer In Soho from whom Mrs. Astor
hired him. Mrs. Astor was very much
'vexed by the birds behavior.

Smelter on the Santa Cruz.

It is announced authoritatively that there have been subscribed alt the stock and bonds for the cor. poration which has been organized In Tucson to erect and operate & customs reduction plant on the Santa Cruz river, somewhere be. tween Tucson and Gala basas. It Is stated that arrangements are in hand for selection of suitable site and contracting for construction and installation of he machinerys It Is believed that such an enter- prise would prove very profitable and would aid materially in de- velopment of the mineral deposits known to exist in the mountains upon each side of the Santa Cruz, and elsewhere in Santa Cruz and Pima counties. The new enter- prize IS promised advantageous freight rates such as will give it command of wide range of min- ing camps in southern Arizona, and give them rates for reduction that will ensure sending their ores to the projected plant. It will be a great help and give to the min- ing industry in Pima and Santa Cruz counties an impetus that will be lasting benefit.

The properties of the company are in the Baboqui. vari mountains, in Pima county, but the camp is in Santa Cruz county. There are sixty claims embraced within the holdings. Work is pushing in tunnel that follows ledge upon one of the claims. The ledge is about eight feet in width, and carries ore the full width. The tunnel is now 325 feet into the mountain, and is about 100 feet below the croppings; the surface rises rapidly and greater depth will be attained as the head is driven forward. The ore extracted is sorted, from 75% to S0% being second class. The

Pollcel PolieeI

Wednesday evening, about seven o'clock, new conner in Nogale. named Stroud, a barber working in the o. K. barber shop, of Nj
 Hendricks, was knocked down and robbed near the Southern Pacific depot, alongside the George B. Marsh warehouse. He had been across the line and was returning toward the shop. Two men follow. ing overlook him at the point in. dicated, and one of them as he turned to let them pass, struck him under the jaw, knocking him sense less. When he recovered he found they had taken from his pocket a ten dollar piece. He cannot iden. tify them. In this connection TIE OASIS suggests that the officers should take in hand some of the idle people loa6ng about Nogales, and run them out of town. The robberles that have occurred, and such affairs as this of Wednesday evening are not creditabIe to the police administration of Nogales.

MISSING AMERICANS 4
Could be located if They Had
 Registered.
1 hihuahua EnterprIse.l

There is hardly a week goes by without the Enterprise publish. es one or more inquiries which come to the consulate in this city from anxious people respecting missing relatives.
 Vice Consul Leonard has now in his office trunk and other per sonal effects including several hundred dollars in cash that have been turned over to him by Ex- Gov. rerraza3, which the con. sul will in turn hand over to the United Stales treasury.
 There Is another case where a man died unknown and his Amer jean citizenship cannot be proved. The Mexican court declines to give up his property, and it will in all probability revert to the republic.
 If these Americans had register ed, their identity and citizenship could be established and their rel. atives or heirs could obtain their property.
 In case too, of the living, where an American citizen gets injured in person or property, or where he may be imprisoned unju+tly, if registered at the consulate there would be no delay in taking steps for his relief. For all the govern. ment asks of the citizen is to reg. ister, this in fact being the first question asked.
 The law says: Tn case legal heirs are not found at the end of one year, the consul is required to convert into money the residue of the estate left after paying local debts, transmitting same to the United States treasury to be held in trust for his legal representatives"
 A pathetic case recently came under the consuPs notice where a young man was shot in the noun. tains. In his delirium he kept calling for his mother, but no eff. fort on the part of those about him could elicit any clue as to his mother or his home. It would be no trouble for d man going to the mountains to register at the con. sulate.

 The Yaqui Stores Company, which took over the mercantile establishment of the Richardson Construction Company at Espe- ranza last year, and has another large est tblishment at La Yaqui, the new town established by the company about thirty miles south west from Esperanza, is planning policy that will make itself d very important factor in develop. ment of the Yaqui delta. It has at Esperanza a large stock of grocer les, general merchandise and agri. cultural implements, and will carry at La Yaqui a duplicate stock. A new building for the store at the latter named place is in course of construction, the structure 50xl00 feet in dimensions with a shed out. side covering similar ground space for shelter to agricultural implements, of which latter they have sold from the Esperanza house several carloads this season. A large automobile truck has been ordered, and it will be used for de- livering goods at the ranches in the delta. Messrs. R. $. and J. C.

born July 6, 1876, was IS years and
days old, departed this life July 9th,
1911, of heart trouble; was married to
J. M. Elliott, April 3rd, 1894.
She professed religion in early life

Rev. S. c. Reed conducted funeral
services at the home of her husband.
Interment at Cannon graveyard.
A precious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said come,
And with farewell spoken,
She calmly entered home.
Weep not, dear ones; remember your
loss is her eternal gain. When your
life's work is over she, will meet you at
the beautiful gate where parting is no
more, for she is waiting for those she
loved, to welcome them in.
