DEATH OF MESA CITIZEN.

VEAL n UT M60A NIttk6Ns
 Hosea R. McGinty, who has been seriously ill with acute pneumonia for several days, died last night about nine o'clock. His case was a very serious one from the start and despite the most careful attention he failed rapidly.
 MT. McGinty was a young man, be- ing only th ity-one years of age His native state was Louisiana and his parents now live at Verda, La. Af- ter coming here Mr. McGinty took about two years ago he went south and returned with a bride. It was only a short while ago that Mrs. Me- Ginty became ill and died quite sud- denly. Her body was taken to Louis- jana for burial. The funeral services will be held in Mesa at D. m. today at the funeral parlors of Burton and Sons. The father has wired to hold the body until further word and un- | til his instructions are received it will not be known whether the interment will take place here.
 MARRIED THURSDAY, MARCH g. That is pretty stale news. a mar riage a week old, but when the happy young couple conspire to keep the papers and everybody else in ignor- ance of the event, how may it be found out
 1 R. E. Steele of the Steele Grocery iCo., and the fellow employees of Ed
 win Daley, who works there, had
 been noticing that the latter had
 been seemingly very well satisfied
 with life for the last few days. Un-
 usually very quiet in his demeanor.
 he had been observed to burst into
 sudden though subdued snatches of song, only to hush and look rather embarrassed when he observed some
 one listening. We'll, the upshot of the
 whole matter is just this. On the Thursday aforesaid, MT. Daley and Miss Vevia Crook having decided that
 there was no use prolonging their very happy engagement proceeded 10 get married. For further reasons all
 their own and since it really was mo- body else's business they also decid- ed to keep the wedding quiet for just one week, which they did save
 for the young mans mother. who was I in on the secret.
 { The bride is the daughter of MT.
 and Mrs L. D. Crook of Tempe and
 is one of the popular society girls of that place. MT. Daley is one of
 Mesa's best liked and most reliable
 young men. The many friends of the
 young couple are today extending their necessarily tardy congratula- tions.

MESA GETS REFINERY.

On Thursday night number of
 citizens met at the Commercial club
 rooms for the purpose of hearing a proposition from the Arizona Chicle Company. The business of this com pany is the extraction of gum and , varnish from different varieties of cactus. One variety furnishes a base
 for chewing gum, which it is claim
 ed is already in active demand just as soon as the company is able to furnish it. The same gum furnishes a base for the manufacture of rub
 Der and a different variety of cac- tus is said to furnish the principal ingredient for varnish. Colonel Tom Weedin, Attorney General Jones and A. Aldredge represented the company
 and explained in detail the project. A
 number of men secured an interest
 in the company under the terms pro- posed.
 MT. Aldredge stated yesterday that Mesa had been decided on as the
 most convenient place for the fin
 ishing of the gum for market. A
 lot 165x300 feet belonging to l.. B.
 JOhnosn and located adjoining the railroad was purchased yesterday and arranement will go forward for the erecting of a plant for the purpose named and the laboratory of the com pany will also be situated on the premises The machines for extract 1 ing the gum are portable and the ! first one will be located near Gold
 field. After one field is used up for a space of about twenty five miles square the machines will be moved to
 another location, but after the crude
 gum is extracted there will be the
 necessity of refining it for market
 and this as stated, will be the pur-
 pose of the plant to be located here.

Word comes that the new type of concentrator invented and design ed by the Schifferle boys is a pro- nounced success and is now being produced by the Yuba Construction Go. and has sales beyond anticipa tions putting the former sheet metal workers an easy street. The con centrator works on the principal of centrifugal force. The gravel etc being introduced into a revolving cylinder surrounded by an outside water jacket cylinder. The interior cylinder is perforated at various points and through these perfora- tions the water from the jacketting cylinder is introduced under press ure. This serves to keep the con- tents of the inside cylinder loosened up while centrifugal motion sends the gold to the outside, and the lighter particles remain in positions relative to their density from the center of the concentrator. The plan is unfailing and almost perfect and air can be substituted for water although in that event the concen- tration process is slower.
 
 The Alaska, flying the Canadian naval ensign on the main mast ar rived in Nome yesterday from the Arctic. The Alaska is one of the Stefannsson expeditionary fleet and arrived in charge of Dr. Anderson whose party is on board. The day yesterday was being taken up dis charging specimens and collections which had been gathered by this party of the Stefansson expedition. They report that Stefannsson had left in the spring, according to their understanding to explore further the land which he lately discovered and will probably remain another year in those parts before coming down. The land is very ex- tensive, much more so than first reports would indicate and has high hills and abundance of Arctic fauna and flora The Anderson party was devoted to reconnaissance work in the vicinity of Union Straits, the party wintering the first year at Carlson bay and the second and third winters in Bernard Harbor, both in Union Straits. They have made an extensive record of all the scientific facts of importance, have fine collection of native curio aud specimens of natural life as well as many reels of filmed record of life in the Far North as well as all kinds of photographic pictures or conditions and scenery "on top of the earth. In the Alaska party are Dr. R. Anderson, J. J. O'Neill geologist, John R. Cox topographer, D. tennis ethnologist, J. Johansen, oceanographer and entomologist, D. Wilkins photographer. The most ice was encountered in Stefannsson bay and it was very heavy. The party will proceed outside on one Of the regular passenger liners while after discharging it's freight the Alaska will be beached at Safety and prob ably sold.

IN A GIRLS POCKETBOOK.

A great deal has been written, in
both poetry and prose, about the
relics the boys carry in their pockets,

the Toronto Republican, but for
some reason they missed the girls.
Recently our investigation committee
held an inquest upon a girls pockets
and found the following: One scent
ed pocket handkerchief, one vanity
case containing powder, mirror, and
some small change, one powder rag,
one crochet hook, one ball crochet
thread and work, one tatting shuttle,
one button hook, one nail file, one
wire hairpin, one coat button, one
stick chewing gum, note from her
last beau, and three sen-sens, beside
numerous unidentified odds and ends

Fully a score of the hunters were
under the tree discharging arrows into
1t. They always picked up their ar
rows when they fell back to earth. 1
could not see Red Eye, but 1 could
hear him bowling from somewhere in
the tree
After a short interval his bowling
grew muff1ed. He must have crawled
into a hollow in the trunk. But his
wife did not win this shelter. An ar
row brought her to the ground. She
was severely hurt, for she made no
effort to get away. She crouched in
sheltering way over her baby, which
chung tightly to her, and made plead
ing signs and sounds to the fire men.
They gathered about her and laughed
at her, even as LOp Ear and l had
laughed at the old tree man. And
even as we had poked him with twigS
and sticks so did the fire men with
Red Eyes wife. They poked her with
the ends of their bows and pr0dded
her in the ribs. But she was poor fun.
She would not fight, nor, for that mat
ter, would she get angry. She con-
tinued to crouch over her baby and to
plead. One of the fire men stepped
close to her. In his hand was a club.
She saw and understood, but she
made only the pleading sounds until
the blow fell.
Red Eye, in the hollow Of the trunk,
was safe from their arrows. They
stood together and debated for awhile,
then one of them climbed into the tree.
What happened up there l could not
tell, but heard him yell and saw the
excitement of those that remained be-
meath. After several minutes his body
crashed down to the ground. He did
not move. They looked at him and
raised his head, but it fell back Imply
when they let go. Red Eye had ac-
counted for himself.

Large Trees Are About Us.

their branches hang gray filaments OF
moss, while great creepers, like mon
strOus serpents, curl around the trunks
and writhe in tangles through the air.
And all about is the mud. soft mud,
that bubbles forth gases and that
heaves and signs with internal agita-
tons. And in the midst Of all this are
a dozen of us. We are lean and wretch
ed. and our bones show through our
tight stretched skins. We GO not sing
and chatter and laugh. We play no
pranks. For once our volatile and eX-
uberant spirits are hopelessly subdued
We make plaintive. querulous noises,
look at one another and cluster close
together. 1t is like the meeting of the
handful of survivors after the day of

This event is without connection

How we ever managed to cross it /
do not know, but ut last we came out
where a low range of hills ran down
to the bank Of the river. 1t was our
river emerging like ourselves from the
great swamp. On the south bank,
where the river had broken its way
through the hills, we found many
sandstone caves. Beyond, toward the

here in the caves we settled down in

time to time as the days went by

than alive, mere perambulating skele-
tons, until at last there were thirty
of us. Then no more came fro1, the
swamp, and Red Eye was not among
us. 1t was noticeable that no children
had survived the frightful journey.
/ / shall not tell in detail of the years
we lived by the sea. 1t was not a
happy abiding place. The air was
raw and chill, and we suffered con-
tinually from coughing and colds. We
