THE CELEBRATED Self Generating Gas Lamp.

NHIS extraordinary Lamp produces its own ! Gas by the vaporization of Petroleum Naptha, or Bcnziuc. 1t emits neither smoke nor smell, and burns with pure white 1ame equal in intensity e an ordinary gas burner, aSd S: ai cs- pense of from one to three cents per hour only, according to the quantity of light required. It is peculiarly adapted for mining purposes, also for stores, factories, billiard rooms, and in fact for all purposes where regular gas is not available, and for which t is an admirable substitute. As an outdoor light il stands unryalled, burning with undiminishcd brilliancy in a strong wind
 DIRECTIONS FOR USE
 Charge tue reservoir with the prepared fluid, or with Benziuc, from half to thrce-fourths full-al- low portion 10 run through into the cup-then turn of the tap, and ignite the fluid which will heat the burner sufficiently to generate the gas, which will be seen issuing from the top. The tap must now be turned on, and steady light will be maintained till the whole of the contents of the reservoir is consumed.
 A small needle bent at the point and fixed in a holder, may be occasionally required to clear the minute hole through which the gas issues, and the ! regulating screw at the bottom turned little ! back-but care must be taken not to force the l tingush the light by turning the tap oil, 1t will gradually gO out.
 When necessary 10 renew the cotton which is placed in the lower pipe to prevent the too rapid flow of the fluid, the Lamp should be placed in vice and the burner screwed off The burnt cot ton must then be entirely withdrawn, and a fresh piece of stout cotton rag, one inch wide and fouI or five inches long, should c doubled over piec, Of wire and inserted into the pipe-the ends cut short oti the burner screwed on with little white lead, and the Lamp is ready for use

Volume ", 1867.

The fourth volume ofthe MINER was begun Jan uary 1, 1867. It is the determination to make it in every respect more complete and attractive than the preceding volumes While il will treat of all matters of public importance it's col umns will be more particularly devoted to the in- terests of the miners Of Arizona, the intrepid and deserving men who as pioneers and prospectors through dangers aud difficulties to which ordina- " men would have succumhed have wrcstcd this rich country from the hands of the savage, and will not abandon it. As their organ and a record of the progress in the opening and development of the unri,aed mineral, agricultural and pasto- ral regions of the Territory, and of all that per tains to its growth and prosperity the MINER will merit large local and general circulation As the oldest paper in the Territory its value as news medium and advertising sheet must be ap parent, not only to onr own citizens but also tc business men throughout the Union.

 To the fellow in the East Lodge meetings are but covers
 To hide some lurking dodge Look out when mates and lovers Have business at the Lodge,' Where they meet upon the level
 To part upon the square, And to raise the very devil

POETRY.
GIRLS AND WIVES.

GIRLS AND WIVES. Somebody has written the following about the girls !
 God bless the girls
 Whose golden curls Blend with our evening dreams They haunt our Iycs Like spirit wives. Or, Naads haunt the streams: They soothc our pains, They Hll our brains With dreams of Summer hours; God bless the girls,
 God bless the curls, God bless our human flowers. To which somebody else appends the fol- lowing, in regard to the wives, who also. are of more or less importance;l God bless our wives,
 They fll our hives With little bees and honey;
 They cease lite's shocks, They mend our socks, But don't they spend the moncyY When we are sick
 They heal us quick That Is, if they do love us;
 If not, we die,
 And yet they cry, And place tomb stones above us. or roguish girls
 With sunny clrls, We may u fancy dream;
 But wives-truc wives Throughout our lives, Are everything they seem.
