PAPER MONEY!
II Was First Issued by Count Ne Te
<{sfIa - AIhax.. hra

u Was First Issued by Counts z Ten
dilla at AIhambra.
The Count de Tendilla. while besieg-
ed by the Moors In the fortress Of Al
hambra. was destitute OF gold and sill
yer wherewith to pay his soldiers, who
began to murmur, as they had not the
means of purchasing the necessaries
Of life from the people Of the town.
ssIn this dilemma" says the historian.
what does this most sagacious COM
mander? He takes number Of little
morsels Of paper on which he inscribes
various sums. large and small, and
signs them with his own hand and
name. These did he give to the SOL
diery In earnest of their pay. How
you will say, are soldiers to be paid
with scraps Of paperY Even so, and
well said. too. as will presently make
manifest, for the good count issued
proclamation ordering the inhabitants
to take these morsels Of paper for the
full amount inscribed, promising to re-.
deem them at a future time with gold
and silver. Thus by subtle and I: ost
miraculous alchemy did this cavalier
turn worthless paper into precious gold
and silver and make his late impover-
ished army abound In money"
The historian adds, 1.-The Count de
Tendiila redeemed bis promises like a
loyal knight and this miracle. as it ap-
peared in the eyes Of the worthy Aga
pida. Is the first instance on record of
paper money"

Gold Filled.

A gold filed tooth and your gold fill
ed watch case may be said to be in.
versely analogous-that is to say. your
gold filed tooth has more or less of the
tooth structure Of enamel on the out
side with gold on core filing the cen
ter. Your gold filed watch case con
sists of two sheets of gold. having be
tween each sheet some baser metal to
which the gold is soldered As to the
gold In the case, 1t may be of any fine
ness and any thickness commensurate
with the term gold filled" A Jeweler
will tell you that 10 carat gold is not
gold, having too great an admixture of
baser metals. Many persons have the
idea that the gold filed case is an
amalgam of the kind instead of a
Sandwich" of gold treated In the in
side with the base metals.

SOMEWHAT Of surprise and consider
able stir was created when the announce
ment was made that Louis Kuehnle, of
Atlantic City, had been found guilty on
Indictment charging him Illegal actions in
the awarding of contracts for city work.
The trial was fought with unusual vigor
and the best legal talent was employed for
the city and the defendant 1t is probable
the result will be appealed to a higher
court. There has been quite an awaken
ing at Atlantic City lately and the end is
not yet. The people have determined
that the fair name of the city shall not be
dragged down and there are other trials to
come that will create much interest and
possibly disclose facts that have only been
limited at 80 far. Men of high degree and
standing will not be allowed to escape on
account Of their prominence. This
awakening is not confined to Atlantic
City. 1t Is cropping out all over the state
and there are many localities where the
result In the Atlantic City trial should
serve as warning.

GETTING UP STEAM.


A Young Engineers Answer to a Gruff
and Persistent Examiner.
A bright young fellow came up for
the cadet engineers examination at
Annapolis one day. and the judges
asked him the usual questions. which
he answered readily enough until one
gruff old fellow frowned at him and
demanded:

The cadet glibly described the proc

"And then?" snapped the examiner.
The young fellow twisted his cap In
his hands and thought up few more
details.
"And then?' rasped the examiner
once more, pursuing his lips and looking
as If something important had been
missed
The cadet did the best he could, slyly
adding such details as that be would

HOW A PHOENIX LOT
HAS GROWN IN VALUE
The Experience of j. L. Cant With
Fifty Feet of Adams Street
Property.

J. L. Cant is the owner of a fifty
foot lot on the north side of Adams
street.-the third lot east of First
street He has been trying for sew
eral years to sell il and fearing yes
terday that his efforts were about
to be crowned with success, he for
mally took it off the market. The
lot had been listed at $4,000 and
at two real estate offices where he
called to give notice that the prop
erty was not for sale he was told
that negotiations regarding it had
been in progress that morning
The incident that impeIled Mr..
Cant to retire the property was a
recent offer of $4,000 for it in be-
half of a Prescott citizen. This
property furnishes n fair illustra-
ton of the growth of property val
ues in Phoenix. 1t was acquired by
Mr.. Cant in the early nineties for
5000. That seemed n big price for
it at that time and no doubt it was
considerably more than prices paid
for property similarly situated. 1t
was not in the business district
and not near the fringe of any BUSH
ness district.
But in the early nineties there was
that was mistaken for n boom. 1t
extended to the remote additions
and prices were paid for property
far outside the business zone that
could not be secured ten years later.

last week and brought to Prescott
by Sheriff ]. W. Smith. He was
run down at Clifton, after success

is accused of stealing four head of
steers from Andres OchOa on the low
er Verde, and after Il warrant was is
sued Neill Immediately left the cOun-
try. accompanied by n confederate
He went to Mexico. where he remained
for over two years. returning To Ari-
iona about six months ago. He was
traced to Bisbee, Douglas, Globe and
other towns, and last week when
he made his appearance in Clifton
was taken into custody. His arrest
was effected into neat manner, and
although he had a reputation as be-
ing a bad man" viligance on the part
of the officer prevented him from
carrying out any evil intentions.
Neill, it will be remembered, shot
and killed Frank Devine at the Four
Mile house on the Lynx Creek road in
1907, after which he left this sec
ton, going to the Verde valley where
ell followed COW punching. He was
tried for the killing of Devine and
acquitted. The arrest of NELL is
considered. as Il very important one.
The warrant that has been success
fully served was on file in the sher-
ifs office of this county when
Sheriff Smith assumed his duties in
January, 1909, and from that day
until the arrest was effected.
