MINERS 3O-YEAR REWARD
Congressman Lewis of Maryland,
Whom He Befriended as Boy,
Opens New Vista.

Scranton, Pa.-Edward Donnelly,
track layer in the Taylor mine, who
lives in Minooka, is firmly convinced
that 1t pays to betriend homeless boys,
for his kind actions toward a friend
less orphan thirty years ago have
borne fruit, and the chances are that
he will in few days retire from the
mines forever after spending almost
a lifetime in their murky depths
Thirty years ago there appeared in
Minooka a young Welsh boy by the
name OF Lewis. He secured employ
ment in the Cars Patch mine, but,
being the only Welsh boy in the COM
munity, his life was made miserable
by his companions until Edward Don
nelly came to his rescue. Donnelly
constituted himself the champion of
the youth and frequently fought his
battles.
Lewis drifted away from this sec
ton of the country, and that was the
last heard from him until last week,
when Congressman d. j. Lewis of
Maryland reached the city to attend
the meeting of the State Grange.
After addressing the grangers Con-
gressmen Lewis hurried out to Minoo-
ka and hunted up Donnelly. The meet
ing was fraught with "reminiscences OF
the past, for Lewis the orphan boy
and Lewis the congressman proved to
be one and the same.
Before leaving Congressman Lewis
informed his erstwhile champion that
he should prepare to give up the
mines, as he meant to find more
remunerative as well as pleasanter
berth for him in the government serv-
ice.

Something Different.

A man could get so tired of turkey
that he would welcome dinner Of
corned beef, ard it would be just the
same with any food.
Here were two fruit vendors, met
by chance, with their pushcarts
hauled up close together alongside
the curb, one selling nothing but
grapes and the other nothing but ap-
pies, and here was the apple vender
approximately eating bunch OF
grapes and the grape vender with
equal enjoyment eating an apple.
Each had on his cart an abundant
supply of fine food, but it was always
the same, and like everybody else
they craved something different

The corporation of which the above caption is the title was framed by leading colored men of Nogales for the purpose of extend ing to the American Negro wide aud free opportunity for entering into the commercial and productive life of the Western Part of the American Hemisphere. with it's immense capacity for support of redundant population, and it's des- tined colossal material develop ment, giving him a grasp upon great problems and an interest in important enterprises.
 The founders of this enterprise believe that some such instrument is to be the means of the uplift of the American negro as race, and that no finer field for its operation may be found anywhere. in the world than in the Great Southwest, embracing Arizona and the West Coast of Mexico. With that idea they have organized this corpora ton, upon clear and we'll defined lines, with definite objects in view, and we'll defined but firmly re- stricted powers.

Some of the best oil lands on the West Coast of Mexico are in his hands for sale. He is next also to number of good ranche or cattle propositions to which he can direct those desiring them.

In 1863 he was is a member of an independent military organ ization known as Tyler's Rangers, which did service against the h. dians, and participated in the bat tie of Sand Creek, where Colonel Chivington wiped out large band of Arapahoe Indians.
 When Colorado passed from a territorial condition and in 1876 became the Centennial State, the pioneering instinct led him to seek another territory, to help build another state, and in 1877 he came to Arizona, locating at Yuma in December of that year. A little more than a year later, on Decem- Der 31st, 1878, Mr. Atkinson re. moved to the valley of the Santa Cruz, locating upon beautiful and fertile quarter section of land, where he has made his home since that time, turning into the hills a band of stock cattle, from the increase of which he realized long since hand some competence. In the thirty four years that have elapsed since that time Mir. Atkinson has wit messed many changes in these parts. Of those who were in the Santa Cruz valley at that time MT. Sabine Otero is the only one remaining alive.
 In Pima county MT. Atkinson served term on the board of su- pervisors and when Santa Cruz county was segregated he was q member of the first board appoint ed.

LA BARATA."
The Extensive and Widely Known Com mercial Emporium of MT.
 Nathan Leeker.

One of the most successful and capable business men in the line city, who has made his mark in the commercial world. is MT. Nathan Leeker, the proprietor of La Barata," a noted dry goods empo- rum, which fills a commanding position in the mercantile life of the border metropolis. It is but little more than half dozen years Gin May, 1906) since MT. Leeker established himself in business in the line city, yet within that time, from very small and insignificant start the gentleman has built up a fine and lucrative trade, carrying large and we'll selected stock, which is kept up to the highest standard always.
 When Mr. Leeker arrived in the line city he was without means or resources, save a fine business training and his own indomitable will joined with lofty determina- tion to deserve success, and deser- wing to attain it, which lauda ble ambition and close attention to business have crowned his efforts with all he sought. For some period of time after his arrival Mir. Leeker gave to others the benefit of his rare business qualities, having in mind, however, his determiEa- tion to own and conduct a business house of his own. Finally, by economy and frugality, having accumulated a little cash capital, he felt that the time had arrived to put to the touch his own fortune and branch out into trade upon
 his own account. So he laid out his available capital, opening his store in the same premises he occu-
 pies still, the same having been en.
 larged and expanded from time tc ) time, in order to meet the want; and needs of the rapidly growing business he had established.
 The stock of goods at La Barata'
 is one of the most complete anG
