I'M GLAD I AM A-LIVIN'
Our troubles come like flies in cake,
But there's lot more cake than fly,
And there's ten square deals to every fake,
Ten smiles to every sigh;
There's sneaks, but then there's good men too,
There s hoardin , but there s givin',
And that is why I take this view
I'm glad I am a-livin'.

FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA
On Thursday Inst Blachloy H. Porter
of Stamford, Conn., was struck ami
iustautly killed by lightning at the
Grand Canyon. The following details
of tho affair reached us too lato for
publication in our last issue:
On Thursday morninr Louis H.
Porter, B. II. Porter ami Aitlm.- s.
Kenton, of Stamford, Conn., who
were visiting the Grand Canvon. left
tbo Tolfreo Camp to visit the point
wneiojuoran made his famous paint
ing. Tho morning was unusully blight
and there wero no indications of a
storm. Upoti reaching tho point thov

but which i leality is four miles,
through thick underbrush and over a
very dim, rough trail. They walked

reached about 11 o'clock. A rain
storm set in, and tho young men,
thinking to avoid getting -wet, sought
shelter under a projecting rock some
dictanco down the canyon, and wero
coinfoi tably ensconced under the rock
"lien a thunder and lightning storm
commenced. The lightning flashed
arouud them, but they did not heed it.
The survivors have no recollection
of what happened then. They had
only been under the rock a few min
utes when there came a blinding flash.
ami Lewis Porter and Arthur Kenton
were hurlod down ilin incline nr.o,.n-
scious. Kenton first recovered con
sciousness -in about half an hour, he
thinks and dragged Lewis Porter,
behind a log, to pi event him falling
over tho Drec-inicn. U'lmn
men recovered consciousness they were
still so dazed they could not realize
whero they were, and started to make
their way fiom tho canyon, thinking it
was a scorching fire.
Crawling and creeping as best thev
could, tlioy made their way back to
the rock. They wero honor-strlokcn
to find Blachley Porter dead. Ho lay
with face turned towards the canvon.
which hososboitly had admired and
which was fated to be the last piece of
nature's handiwork lie should ever be
hold. Ills brother and Kenton com
menced rubbing him, hopinj: that a
spaik of life might bo left and that he
was merely stunned, but it was useless,
as death must have been instantaneous.
Mr. Ronton and Mr. Porter held a
hasty consultation, and it was decided
that tho former, being the least in
jured of the two, should hurry to Tol-
lieo Lamp and get help. Ho covered
tho distance of seven or eight miles in
two and a half hours. Reaching the
camp pale and bicathless, ho told his
story.
Mr. and Mrs. L. II. Tolfree and
Chailes Heiser immediately started in
u cart for tho scone of tho accident,
but tho road being very rough, they
wero forced to abandon tho cart and
strike out on foot. They wero fol
lowed from camp by the Misses Tolfree
and Charles E. Burkhardt in a surrey.
This party of six commenced the long
tramp of looking for the dead man and
his brother. Mr. Renton had mism-
foi med tho party as to the exact loca
tion of the accident, and tho relief
paity had considerable difficulty in
finding tho place. About 5 o'clock
they canio across a cautecn, a hat was
seen, and then the foot of a man was
sighted. Climbing down tho trail the
party met a sight that brought tears
to tho eyes of the ladies. Standing
on tho brink of this mighty gorge in
the presence of death would make the
strongest man bow his head in awe.
Tho dead man's brother could uot
bo found, but it was afterwards learned
that ho had recovered sufficiently to
climb tho bluff and started for tho
camp. Being in a dazed condition bo
wandered off tho trail, and it was uot
till late in tho afternoon that ho
found his way back to camp, where he
was cared for by somo ladies from
Phoenix.
Arthur Ronton was severely bruised,
but, can travel. Lewis Poller was
! badly burned in differeuts parts of the
body. Tho shock and exhaustion, as
well as tho death of his brother, have
prostrated him, but a strong physique
will pull him through. His principal
burns aro on the shoulder, back and
left leg. His clothing was burned in
several places ami his hair singed.
Tho Porter brothers wero Yale Col-
lego studcuts, and were making a vaca
tion trip through tho West, and
Blatehley Porter was but 18 years old.
lho body of Blatehley Porter was
brought in from tho canyon on Satur
day night and taken to tho undertak
ing parlors of E. Whipple & Co. Tho
body was sent East yesterday evening.
Lewis Porter, who was seriously
shocked and burned, was brought in
from the canyon on Tuesday. On ac
count of a badly injured ankle he is
unable to walk.
C. T. Springer of Teinpe, who was
at the canyon at tho time of the acci-
dnt, has given the injured brother
every attention, and will remain with
him until he is safe in tho hands of his
friends in tho East.

A TEMPEITE IN NEW Y0EK.
lie Throws Away His Gun and Jumpi
Into the River to Escape Arrest.
When some weeks ago the Harlem
police found a lot of dynamite and what
they thought were burglars' tools in
a room at No. 836 East 119th street,
where they had gone to serve a war
rant on William Hoyt, they announced
that they thought they were on the
trail of a burglar. Yesterdav thev
solved the mystery and now they do
believe that Hoyt is the bad man they
thought him to be.
The police had tried to serve a war
rant on Hoyt on the charge of assault
made by James Butler of 119th street
and First avenue. Ycsterdav Patrol
man Murphy of the East 104th street
station saw Hoyt ridinc on a bicvclo
on Pleasant avenue, near 113th street.
He left his bicycle and ran towards
the river. As he ran he threw off a
belt loaded with cartridges, to which
was attached a heavy Colt revolver.
He ran to the pier and jumped over.
Murphy got a ropo and dragged tho
man out.
He was arraigned in the Harlem
Police court on two complaints, one for
felonious assault aud one foi carrviuc:
concealed weapons. He was held for
examination. He said that he is now
living on Elizabeth street, near
Bleecker. He came here two months
ago from Tempe. Arizona. For years,
he said, he had been the Government
interpi-pfpr i x,i Wlngate, New
Mexico. He said that he was a scout
and interpreter for General Miles dur
ing tho Geroninio campaign, between
1885 and 1887. Ho has a brother
Charles a civil engineer at Willets
Point, and that what the police took to
be a burglar's outfit wero dynaniito
and engineering tools belonging to his
urotucr.

Clark's Great Arizona Mines.
A correspondent in writinc of tho
mines and mining districts has the fol
lowing to say concerning W. A.
Clark's possessions in Arizona: "But
the greatest of all, and the greatest in
the United States to-day, is the great
United Verde property at Jerome.
forty miles northeast of Prescott, in
the Black Hills. It is owned by the
Montana millionaire, W. A. Clark, and
has just finished a narrow-gauge rail
road to connect the mine with Murphy's
new road. It is a marvelous ore do
posit. There is one section of the
property, an outlined body of ore,
1,000x1,200x350 feet in dimensions, all
of which I am told runs about 50 per
cent iu copper and carries about $30
in gold to the ton. If this be true,
and I think it is the property must
rival iu value, if it does not exceed,
the great silver mines of Nevada. I
understand it produced 5,000 tons of
copper and $1,600,000 worth of gold
last year. The ore is all rednced at
the mine, being first desulphurized by
roasting in heaps in the open air and
then put through the furnace. About
300 men are employed in all. Some
Denver parties have a bond on prop
erties adjoining and aro vigorously
prospecting, with a good show of
getting tho samo great ore body. If
their hopes are realized it will make a
noise in the world and do for Arizona
what Cripplo Creek has done for Colo
rado. I think it will do as much as
the Comstock properties did for
Nevada. Montana Miner.
Something for Nothing.
