COW PUNcHERS
 NOW AT TUCSON.

Tucson is this year the scene of the annual convention of the Arizona Stock Growers Association, of which James A. Johnson, of Coconino County, is the president, Thomas N Wills, of Mammoth, the vice-presi- dent, and Sam B. Bradner, of this city, the secretary. The body will meet for the first time since the special meeting held in this city last March, on Friday morning.
 Stock growers from all over the state are already on the move to the. Ancient City, and there are some 500 or 700 members in Arizona, to to the reports from the officers and lay plans for the furtherance of the interests of the stock growers in the state.
 When the assoc1a. on met here last March they were all impressed law for the protection of the indus try in this section, but failed to finally agree upon just what all should be done. It is thought by many of the prominent members of the association living in the Salt River Valley that there will be an absolute agreement this time upon some of the things, and that if a1- ditional legislation is needed the as- sociation will be in position 10 state definitely what it wants.
 For the first time in the history of the organization the president and secretary of it are also the president and secretary of the Arizona Live Stock Sanitary Board. This will give the association a standing in official circles that it has not here tofore had and enable it to put mat ters before the state administration from the standpoint of both the as sociation and the board, both Of which are working in harmony.

STEVE RoEMER HERE

Hon. Steve Roemer, travelling audi tor for the Wells-Fargo is spending a few days in Clifton on his regular trip He is one of the real Arizona boosters and has many good things to say about Clifton. Mir. Roemer was for three terms representative of Cochise county in the Territorial Council and during that time was a hard worker for Arizona generally. He was located at Benson for fifteen years as representative of the Wells Fargo and during that time was a nov ing spirit in the business enterprises which went far to make Benson thriving business supply point. He has number of mining interests near Benson and was director in the Railroad to Johnson. He is now president of the Bank of Benson
 T like Clifton immensely, said he. and am always surprised with the great amount of business which is al- ways going on at this point. It seems to me that Clifton has a very bright future and that there will be greater than in particularly any other district in Arizona. The location is far be- ter than other mining camps in tho State and is a pleasant place to re- is done here is certainly surprising

COPPER QUEEN ID
 PAY B|-M0NTHLY
New System Goes Into Effect Next Month Permanently Regardless of the Referendum Vote Next Mont11-PIeages All Em- pIoyees and Business
 Men.
(Bisbee Review)

Beginning with the wages due for the month of November, the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company will inaugurate the semi-monthly pay day for all employees of that company. This was the announcement made yes terday afternoon by S. W. French. general manager, who was here from Douglas.
 or several days there has been q rumor in Bisbee about the probability of the Copper Queen adoptoing the semi-monthly pay day, which means that instead of the employees receiv- ing their wages onch each month. they will reveive payment twice each month, or every fifteen days.
 When MT. French was called on the telephone ,last night he confirmed these rumors. He said:
 When the semi-monthly pay day law was being considered by the leg islature, we were led to believe, from expressions of our employees, that they preferred a monthly wage pay ment to the semi-monthly plan, . number so expressed themselves as many others expressed themselves as entirely indifferent in the matter.
 Soon after this new pay day law was held up by a referendum peti- ton, it was decided by the manage ment of the Copper Queen that careful investigation would be made in nnccih1n h.a sentiments and desires of the en- ployes regarding the matter, with tho purpose of taking such as we found was the wish of the miners, shelter men and other employees.
 ''As a result of this investigation, of the Queen employees prefer to have the semi-monthly pay day plan, and thus finding the sentiment, it has been determined to inaugurate this system of payment as soon as the auditing can arrange for the new system of handling tn e payroll of next month-November
 This plan will not only be inau- gurated now, but it will be permanent and continued, regardless of any re- suit of the referendum vote which is to be taken throughout the state on the new pay day law
 Measure Popular.
 The semi-monthly pay day law has received a hearty welcome from a very large majority of the buiness men of Bisbee. When the measure was made the subject of a referen- dunn vote, there was a quick rally Of the business men to it's support; the Business Mems Protective Association adopted resolutions in support of the new law, and the Warren District Commercial Club took similar action, and the sentiment among the miners was claimed to be also in favor of the semi-monthly pay day.
 Because of this widespread sent1- ment, there will be satisfaction in Bis bee because of the announcement of the Copper Queen company, as this assures to the miners and other work men in this district the carrying out of the objects of the new law, regard less of the referendum vote.

There is going to be some rate making the coming year on interior business. iG the promises ot the White Pass management and the N. c. company amount to anything. Since the announcement by Presi- dent pickcsou that the White Pass is Coiug 70 put boats on the lower Yukon in competition with the trans portauou companies already there, considerable speculation has been iuduIged ia as ot what would be the result.
 Manager O s. LaUiug of the N. c. company In an authoritative state. ment to the Dawson News says that he has instructions from the home office of tEc Northern Commercial company. in san Francisco, Co state that the people of Dawson will be given rate by the x C. which win be worth their while to con- sider. He says that the \. C. com pany win quote rates that will be satisfactory Co an bringing in freight. AS to the question of boats, he says the \. C. has 2S steamers on the lower Yukon. and can put an iu the water should there ever be a demand for their services, but as Dawson imports but 1000 tons tn the aggregate in the year, he thinks a few og the fleet will be able to handle the traffic. The Louise aloae. he says. can bring r. 500 tons Of freight from St Michael to Dawson m I6 days. she was on the ways at St Michael an last season, undergoing extensive re pairs. This boat and the three packets. Susie. Hannah and Sarah, says NIT Laning. win be available ig wanted for the Dawson service. Other boats also win be in commis- sion

rates on Dawson shipments for the coming season, and there is no in timation of when the tariff will be issued, but it usually comes out late in the spring. The White Pass peo- pie have been building two new boats at Whitehorse this season and President Dickesou announced not long ago that he would have boats ready in the spring for the lower river business even if it was necessary to make them and assem- bIe them in the spring at the head of the Yukon. The White Pass is financed by. Close Brothers, and it was said recently in one of the coast papers that they are backed by the Rothschilds. The Northern Commercial is owned by the Slosses and Gerstles of San Francisco, the merchant princes ot the Pacific, who made their wealth largely out of Alaskan sealeries, canneries anu trading posts, and have multiplied it in numerous investments in Call foruia, especially in fruit and oil It is claimed traffic war on the Iu kon would be no strain on them. On the other hand, friends of the White Pssl people say that their backing is equally as strong, and that when 1t comes Co a matter of slash and endurance the war can be waged for months, if not years, with no call for quarter.
 Some. however, seem to think that a truce may be patched up eventually SO that the two compan- ies win understand each other as they have in the past, when the rates remained uniformly high, and one company confined itself prac- tically to the upper river traffic, and the other made little attempt Co bring freight to Dawson except for its own use.

Captain Dutcder stood leaning over the tafrrail looking at her till he saw her go down, then turned his stten' ton to his own ship. Having weath' cred a three days storm, he was near Ing port when he called his crew to' gether on deck and said to them:
 Tt is evident that we overhauled a case of rascalIty fin the derelict, and when we make port we'll find that whoever directed her has got there before us and told a story of ship wreck. I wish each and all of you to promise me to keep the matter in your knowledge lockers tn give you the word to speak. If you tell you'll make nothing, for since we didn't bring her In there's no salvage for us. If you keep mum those who scuttled her might pay you something to keep quiet Of course we can't permit the insurance companies to be swindled tn any event"
 Anything you orders, sir, goes" said an old salt who took 1t upon him- self to reply for his mates as well as himself, and the men returned to the foreCastle.
 When the Sval!ON was docked Cap. tain Butcher went uptown and stopped at a dwelling house and rang the bell The door was opened by a young wom' an twenty-two or twenty-thrce years old. At seeing Butcher her face lit up with pleasure. They went inside to- gether and Butcher asked:
 Has the Susan Crane got inT
 ''No She was wrecked. but the crew were all saved"
 Has the insurance se-s collected '
 'Not yet. l believe there's sUElO trou- ble in proving the loss of the ship
 ''Teu Ben wish to see him at dneN.
 "Why sO?" asked the girl, turning pale.
 Keep what I tell you a secret Hh ship was not lost I overhauled her and was towing her in when a storm came up and was obliged to sink her"
 "Why should 1 keep this a secret5'
 He hesitated, then said: Margaret I would wrong you by refusing you a reply. You may not have made a mis. take in refusing me, but you erred in accepting Ben" And be told her of his discovery of the fact that Ben Flaw kius, captain of the Susan Crane, was a criminal
 The shock stunned her. Butcher left her to recover from 1t and sought the man who had supplanted him.
 "Ou Margarets account" he said, "I have arranged this matter SO that you can get out of 1t without being prosecuted. Withdraw your claim for Insurance and make each one of my crew a present and they will not trou- ble themselves to inform against you As for me, you know you have nothing to fear"
 Hawkins acted on Butchers advice, making no claim and paying each mem Der of the crew S1OO, presumably for their attempt to save his ship. Mar garet Earle dismissed her betrothed and married Butcher. Hawkins left New Bedford and was never seen there again
