It will require a\nreturn to a more nearly normal\nsupply of labor and of costs than\nprevails today to encourage us to\nexpend rnouey necessary to lay the\nfoundation for an operation in this\ndistrict. We have much faith in\nour Phoenix mines and in the\nLone Star, and there are encouraging prospects at two other of our\nproperties. It is my personal belie! that we will eventually reopen\nour Boundary operations, but their\nis nothing of assurance which I\ncan give. For thi3 latter I am\nvery sorry as I know how hard it\nwill hit property owners and merchants .whose business depends, at\nleast to a large extent, upon the\nactivity of the smelter.\nVery truly youre,\nHugh R.

Theee\nold buildings were once the scenes\nof the pioneer Arizona mining\ncamp, bnt are now occupied by\nbats and are slowly falling into\ndecay.\nThe Bird-cage opera bouse was\nthe most famous in the territory.\nIt is a rambling, two-story structure, with the glass iu the rough\nboard front broken by the elements.\nA long bar occupies one end of the\nbuilding, while the piano player's\nraised platform faces it at the op\nposite end. It was on this plat\nform that the famous sign hung\nwhich read: \"Do not shoot the\npiano player! He is doing the best\nhe can!\" A gallery extends around\nthree sides of the opera bouse and\nthe stage occnpies the fourth.\nOn that stage she most famous\nvariety performers from San Francisco appeared. Lithographs announcing their coming still hang\non the walls. A dumb waiter connects the bar with the gallery\nabove, where drinks were served\nat tables placed in each of the little\nrooms which open on to the big\ndancing floor. Many ki llings have\noccurred in the Bird Cage, and it\nhas been the scene of a number of\nWestern stories of frontier life.\nAt the Can-Can restaurant\nsteaks once sold for $5 each, and\nmen waited in line to be served.\nThe Bed Light saloon was a gambling honse, and the discarded\nroulette' and faro layouts may be\nseen stacked in the rear of the big\nbuilding, with its broken bar and\nmahogany fixtures. The stage\noffice is an adobe building, with a\ncorral flanking it, and it was there\nthat the stage from Tucson pulled\nin each day, and the early settlers\nreceived their mail from the outside world.\nAnother relic of old Tombstone\nis the monument erected to Ed\nSchefflein, the founder of Tombstone and the man who gave it its\nname. The monument is built of\nboulders from Scheffiein'a first\nmine.'.\nA cowboy from the Panhandle\ntold Schefflein that he would not\nfind gold but a. tombstone in the\nHanchuca mountains. Schefflein\nfound gold and named the town\nTombstone, remembering his\nfriend's prediction. When he died\nhis body was returned here and\nthe tombstone erected at the spot\nwhere he made the gold strike\nthat caused a great rush to this\ncamp.\nThe Animal That\nEats His Bedroom\nThe muskrat lives in the brown\nbogj hiding carefully in the daytime and coming out at night to\nseek food or to build his little\nhouse. In winter his house is\ncozy, for he builds it with a passage that enters beneath the ice of\nthe pond on the border of which\nhe lives. The bitter wind, therefore, cannot reach him. If he is\nhungry he can swim nnder the ice\nand find pond-lily roote and other\nsweet food. Maybe:V he: does not\n; need; even ;to wet his for; for he\nbuilds his house of these very roots\nand of rushes and grasses, so all\nheneeds to.do\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd when hungTy is to\nturn oyer \"and eat his bedroom\ndoor.\nMuBkrata are sociable creatures.\nWhen they live together, one will\nwarn another of approaching\ndanger. They attract attention by\nflapping the water with their tails\nas they dive out of sight.\nAlligators like muskrat flesh and\neat it when they can get it. The\nlittle animal has other enemies,\nthe worst of them, perhaps, being\nthe mink; for the mink can follow\ntha muskrat into its home. Worst\nof all for all muskrats, however,\nis a severe winter following a dry\nfall, because then the ponds freeze\nsolid, and the little fellows are\neither forced out to become the\nvictim of enemies, or are shut out\nby the ice and die of starvation.\nwas >a flag that was not a lying in\nwait.

It is\ngreater than cannon, greater\nthan hate, greater than blood-\nlust, greater than vengeance.\nIt triumphs over wrath as good\ntriumphs over evil. Direct\ndescendant of the Cross of the\nChristian faith, it carries on to\nevery battlefield the words of the\nMan of Peace: 'Blessed are the\nmerciful, for they shall obtain\nmercy.'\n\"The only leaven in this black\npicture of war as I have seen it, as\nit has touched me, has been the\nscarlet of the Bed Cross, To a\nfaith that the terrible scenes at the\nfront had almost destroyed, came\nevesy now and then again the\nflash of the emblem of mercy.\nHope then, was not dead. There\nwere hands to soothe and labor, as\nwell as hands to kill. There was\nstill brotherly love in the world.\nThere was a courage that was not\nof hate.

Yet we never hear\nof any process for extracting the\n\"poisonous\" caffeine found in tea.\nIt is to the caffeine fonnd in tea\nthat the tea owes both its effect\nand its usefulness.\nOne reason that tea agrees better\nwith the stomach than coffee does\nis that ife contains none of the vegetable oils mentioned as an ingredient in coffee. Tea does contain,\nhowever, a much large proportion\nof tannin than coffee does. For\nthis reason it is much more likely\nto produce chronic constipation,\nwhich is probably the most harmful result from drinking tea.\nThe one redeeming fact about\nthe occurrence of tannin in both\ntea and coffee is that being much\nless freely soluble than caffeine,\nwhich is the desirable element in\neither tea or coffee, it is not found\nin a very great amount when the\ntea or coffee is properly made.\nIf either tea or coffee is drawn\noff from the grounds quickly after\nthe decoction is brought to the\nboiling point, the tannin is left in\nthe grounds, and the solution of\ncaffeine which is the characteristic\nflavor of the beverage is obtained.\nEvery tea drinker realizes the\ndifference between the delicate\nflavour of a cup of tea freshly and\nrightly made and one that has\nbeen allowed to stand .for even a\nfew minutes after steeping. If\nallowed to stand more than a minute beyond the boiling point an\notherwise harmless beverage has\nbeen made both obnoxious to the\ntaste and positively harmful to\nthe systemX'.X'-\";i:.\nLet me repeat, then, that the\ncafieine in either tea or coffee, so'\nfar from being injurious,   is the\nne ingredient in either to which:\nthey owe their very general accept'-\nHe Did Not Bite\nMiss Daisy Inciter has brougnt back\nfrom London a story of Charles Darwin:\n\"Two English boys,\" said Miss\nLeiter, \"being friends of Darwin,\nthought one day they would play\na joke on him. They caught a\nbutterfly, a grasshopper, a beetle\nand a centipede, and out of these\ncreatures they made a strange,\ncompoeite insect. They took the\ncentipede's body, the butterfly's\nwings, the grasshopper's legs and\nthe beetle's head, and fehey glued\nthem together carefully. Then,\nwith their new bug in a box, they\nknocked at Darwin's door.\n\" 'We caught tbis bug in a\nfield,' thep said.
