 FORMER FLAGSTAFF MAN

The engagement of Miss Abbie Pickrell, daughter of MT. and Mrs. William $. Pickrell, and Charles s. Isham is announced at Phoenix. Not even the most intimate friends of the young folk surmised this in- teresting and delightful news which was told them at a smartly ap- pointed luncheon given by Mrs. William s.

CAMERON 10 OPERATE V
 PLATINUM CLAIMS

It is announced by Ralph H. Cameron that he has just com pleted a deal whereby the J. Bishop company of Malvern, Pa,, will take over ten of his platinum claims in the Grand Canyon. The contract between Cameron and the Bishop people calls for the install ation and operation of a concen- trator at the mine shaft ninety days after the first of the year. A squad of men is now on the ground pre- pairing to take a hrst.quantity ot ore. The machinery for forty ton concentrator is on its way to the rim of the canyon, whence it will be lowered to the site of the shaft as soon as possible. The fact that the claims are situated just below the Indian gardens, half way between the rim and the river, makes it long drop to the scene of operations.
 The ore will not be smelted at the canyon mine, but will simply be concentrated for transp ortation to the Bishop company. The com pany is manufacturer of platinum utensils and implements and a dealer in this so-precious metal.

Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited was bowling over

happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side of a parched river
it suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed in three feet of
muddy water at the bottom OF the
river bed,
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion. Men, womeh and
lunch boxes were thrown into a heap,
and not an umbrella or a parcel was
left in the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was damned tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice in emphatic demand:
Let me out. Let me out! IF you
don't let me out, I'll break a window"
