REAL HORSE SENSE.

Parties coming in from Pearce bring a good story of the intel ligence of the big brown horse, Jim, that is used on the whim on the Commonwealth Extension property. Jim is kept at the McFall stables, and was taken out to work every morning by the man who looks after him at work. One morning he turned the horse loose and was sur prised to see him go from the stable direct to the shaft where he is now employed. Now the horse is turned loose every morning at 6:3O with his noon feed of barley tied to his should CT, and the horse goes direct by the path to the shaft and waits until he is harnessed up, does his daily work and then is turn ed loose at night with the empty nesebag on his neck and goes back to the stable. He has been nicknamed the "Superinten- dent' by the Pearce people, be- cause he is as regular as clock work in going to and from work. Tombstone Prospector.

Santa Cruz County Fair.

Progress is being made in per- fecting arrangements for the Santa Cruz County Fair, to be held here Friday and Sa aturday, October 8 and 9.
 The track is graded and the stone on the ground for the foundation of the grand stand. The Rigsby and Woodward we'll drilling outfit is at work near the grandstand.
 A little army of men has been at work on construction. George J. White, Wilbur Woodward, MT. Davis, Mark Manning and others too numerous to mention were pushing the grading. MessrS. Purdum and Bryant looked after the lumber. Hugh S. White, Herman Passow, M. G. Rouse and William Gorson hauled the stone on the field. White and Passow quarried 12 loads, which Rouse and Gorson put on the ground in one and one half days, counting ten hours to the day I call that work.
 But "a thing of beauty and a joy forever" will be especially to lovers of fine stock, the track

MT. and Mrs. Carl Hayden, who visited all the big mining camps of the county, last week departed for their home in Phoe nix Monday last. They were enthusiastic over the hnstling mining camps and the splendid roads that lead to them. Con gressman Hayden told us that Mohave county has the best roads in the state, and as he has been driving ever them in all directions he sure knows what he is talking about. While other sections of the state have been talking roads, Mohave county has been building them. The Board of Supervisors and the county engineer have made our roads what they are and we want them to continue the good work.-Miner.

WON HONOR WITH THE FIST
Some British Soldiers Who Have
Earned the Victoria Cross by the
Use of Their Bare Hands.

Skill in fisticuffs has several times
won the Victoria Cross. At Inkerman.
for instance. Capt. Hugh Rowlands
saved his commanding officer Colonel
Hay, by a straight left-hander. Hay
was wounded and lying on the ground,
with a gigantic Russian standing over
him and about to plunge a bayonet to
his heart, when Rowlands, who had
lost his sword, smashed the Russian
with his left hand, knocking the man
unconscious. Rowlands got the V. G.
At Jeerum, in India, during the In
dian mutiny, Gen. James Blair, whose
sword had been broke off at the hilt
and who had no other weapon, dashed
into a crowd of armed mutineers and
knocked five of them down with his
fists in few seconds. The Victoria
Cross also went to him.
Another officer whose sword broke
at the handle while in action was Ad-
miral Tug" Wilson, who, at Ell Teb,
bowled over six Arabs with his fists.
He not only won the V. c., but also
his nickname, being called Tug VIII
son after an English boxer who about
that time had gained brief notoriety
by fighting John L. Sullivan, the heavy
weight champion Of the world.

HARPER UPH0LDS
USE Of ANTI TOXIN
STATE HEALTH BOARD HEAD
SAYS THERE SHOULD BE NO
DiPHTHERlA DEATHS.
NOT DANGEROUS TO HEART
Charges of Some Physicians
Treatment Should be AID
ninistered Early.

Madison.-To dispel an impression
that prevails to certain extent that
the use of antitoxir in diphtheria is
dangerous, and at TIE same time to
call attention to the practice of certain
physicians in the stats who, when they
have failed in the timely use of anti
toxin, blame it for the evil conse-
quences resulting from their failure,
DR.. G.. A. Harper of the state board OF
health gives out the following state
ment:
with the present knowledge OF
treating diphtheria there should be no
deaths from this disease if the nature
of the ailment is discovered soon after
the clinical symptoms become mani
fest and antitoxin is freely used.
"In some few cases the physicians
have stated that the death was due to
heart failure as a result of administer
ing antitoxin. This is not true. Either
the physician was not called early
enough so that the antitoxin could be
administered in the early stages of the
disease, or through neglect the physi-
clan in attendance did not use anti
toxin as promptly as he should.
"In every case Of diphtheria anti
toxin should be used during the first
day, if possible. If this is done com
plete recovery can be assured.
"There is no evidence for the state
ment that antitoxin depresses the
heart, or is dangerous in any state of
diphtheria."

KILLING FROSTS IN STATE
Reports From Central Wisconsin Tell
of Damage Sustained by Late
Maturing Crops.

Madison.--Reports received here
from central parts of the state indi
cate thousands of dollars in damage
resulted from killing frosts. At Plain.
field, corn, potatoes, buckwheat, pump
kins and squash were nipped and as
these crops were far from matured
the farmers are hard hit. At Shawano
corn and potatoes also were damaged
New London reports damage to beans
and other tender vegetables. The first
frost of the year occurred at Neenah,
but the damage appears to have been
slight.
The Bayfield, county fruit district
and that of Door county apparently
were not touched. The southern Wis
consin tobacco belt was not damaged,
the lowest temperature reported being
in the neighborhood of SO degrees.

Celebrating Labor Day.

That Labor day has gradually been
given over almost wholly to sport and
recreation is a cheering evolution.
Crowded stands at the baseball parks,
packed excursion trains and steamers,
full bathing beaches, teeming parks,
and standing-room signs in the thea
tiers on Labor day bespeak a prosper
GUS and contented country. Were men
out Of work, factory chirneys desti-
tute of smoke, spindles idle, and mines
closed down we would see more mass
meetings on Labor day. Something
approaching the first Of May celebra-
lions in European countries might be
feared. But who in this land looks fer

con Germ? When has political crisis
