A burglary was attempted on Martins drug store last Saturday night. Martin first saw man at the back part of the store and enticed him to go away by ex- hibiting a fire arm. Martins suspicious were aroused and he stood guard inside the store. Pretty soon pane of glass was broken and when mans hand was put in, Martin grabbed it. The owner pretended to be drunk and, after giving him good advice, Martin let him go. He then went out, followed the fellow and made up his mind that the drunkenness was only simu- lated. However he got good look at the man and the next day had him arrested.

The mining interests of Yuma county never looked more promising than now. We may any day look for sale of some of our mines to parties having means to work them on a scale commensurate with their value.
 Judge Porter is in communication with parties in the East for the sale of some valuable properties on which he has bonds for deeds. The figures asked may appear large in themselves, but considering the value of the mines they are not too much

of deer and mountain sheep-cerbats. Ii is now running time with these animals
 and the bucks are brave enough to be ap-
 preached within easy rifle range. The
 mines are within few miles of the river,
 giving them great advantage over those of Castle Dome in the matter of transpor- tation to reduction works or to market.
 The vein matter is not so favorable for smelling as are the lime- fuorids of Castle Dome, but being more siliclous may be expected to carry ores richer in silver. Fluorids seem to occur there only as cryo- lite which, if found in masses, will have a commercial value. To the north of this district the country shows signs of tre- mendous volcanic action. The cup-shaped craters of extinct volcanoes still stand pumice and ashes covering the country around them. Here one sinks to the ankle in the dusty ground and rod can be run down to a considerable depth. But no such influences seem to have disturbed the formation of Silver district. Great dikes intersect the country for miles and amply attest the regularity of its veins. It lies east of the river and west of the trails usually traversed. It has been passed by latter-day prospectors, who have taken for granted there was nothing there or that it would already have been occupied, being so close to Yuma-about forty miles. G. E. Sill, an experienced miner, and Neil Johnson, working for the last seven years at Castle Dome, are the re-discoverers. They have found metal already extracted and lying on the old dumps, more than enough to pay all their expenses of pros pecting and of supplies etc. for new work.

We hear that Lezinsky & Co. are nego- tiating for transportation of their copper bullion. produced at Clifton, by way of Yuma, instead of by way of New Mexico as they have been doing. The annual prod uct of those Clifton mines runs into mil lions of pounds. Their present cost of transportation to Baltimore is said to be six cents per pound. We do not know if it can be made any less by way of Yuma, but hope so.

Two Little Girls SmOthered in
a Trunk.

The ST. Louis Post of Tuesday has
the following account Of the death
of two little girls, aged and 8 years,
daughters of Mrs. Amelia Moench, a
teacher in one of the schools of that
city: 1.-The children have for year
past been with their father on
farm four miles from Dixon, Mo,
138 miles distant from st. Louis.
Mrs. Moench spends her vacations
on the farm, and was prepared to go
to her husband and children imme
diately upon the close of school.
Mr.. Moench had gone to Dixon on
Saturday, and his little girls called
cheerfully after him to hurry back,
and if he wrote to their mamma to
send her their love. On his return
he was surprised not to see them
awaiting him. He called, but re-
ceiYed no answer. He went into the
house and saw the tray Ola trunk
sitting on the foord A fearafashed
on his mind; he opened the trunk
and found the two little girls. The
younger, who was underneath. was
evidently past all hope, but the eide r
was still warm and limp. Not a
neighbOr was within half mile.
The father dashed cold water on the
children, then rubbed them with vim
egar and made every effort to restore
animation, laboring till after 10
o'clock, but in vain. He then gave
up in despair, and went to seek help
from a neighbor. This distance
from railroad station and telegraph
caused delay by which Mrs. Moench
was prevented from even seeing her
daughters before their burial. The
little girls were in the habit of play
ing hide and seek, and had often
hidden in the trunk separately. It
had been their habit to hide when
they saw their father returning home,
in order to enjoy the sport of having
him to hunt them. The trunk had
no spring lock, and why they were
unable to raise the lid remains a
mystery, but it is supposed the heat
overcame them. Their faces gave
no indication that they struggled or
suffered, being calm and smilIng."

A correspondent of the Nashville
Banner. writing upon the guberna-
torial question, urges the nomination
of Col. Michael Burns. of Nashville.
He says:
Without disparaging the abilities
or claims of others there is one man
peculiarly fitted to fill the guberna
torial office at this time, an honored
citizen of our own county, and one
whom our people land I speak by
the card) would delight to honor.
That man is M. Burns. a man of the
people. springing from the people.
sympathizing with them in their
wants, rejoicing with them in their
prosperity. He has done more to
advance their condition in a modest
and unpretending way than any
other man in the State. Born q
Democrat he has adhered with life
long tenacity to the principles and
creed of the Democratic party. En-
dowed with strong natural abilities
he has contributed more than any
other one man to the general pro-
gress and improvement of the State.
His success as a railroad president,
q bank director and president is
proverbial and has stamped him as
one of the leading financial men Of
the times. He is the friend of the
lowly and the poor. They know it,
and no appeal of theirs has ever yet
passed unheaded. He himself was
once poor aud the road by which he
has gained his present position has
been no royaloue. Industry, capac-
ity. unbending integrity, were his
passports to fortune. No other man
could in the present exigency do as
much toward adjusting our financial
difficulties upon basis satisfactory
alike to our creditors and the people,
and the Democracy in convention
could do nothing half so wise as to
make him their standard bearer.
The people of Ohio, in their last
election, elevated Mr.. RIM. Bishop,
a successful merchant, to the execu-
tive chair of that State. Let us dis
play equally good sense by putting
Mr.. Burns in ours"

Whisky Stops Wedding at the
Altar.


There was strange scene at Gin
cinnati one day last week. A re-
spectacle and intelligent young lady
was engaged to be married. and
made the discovery that her affianc-
ed was in the habit of drinking, and
told him what she had learned. He
promised never again to drink. and
she forgave him. The wedding day
was subsequently, set, aud all went
well until the morning appointed for
the performance of the ceremony.
During the interval he made his usu-
al visits, aud though he drank at
times, his betrothed never learned of
his faithlessness until it was nearly
too late to punish him for it. They
were standing side by side, aud q
moment more would have found them
man and wife, then he turned toward
her and his tell-tale breath spoke Of
whisky. When the minister pro-
pounded the usual question to her.
the response came family, mo"
In surprise the question was again
asked, and this time the response
was clear and decisive, NO" She
then turned to her lover. accused
him of drinking. reminded him OF his
promise to her. and said that a man
who would break promise so sol
emnly made could not be relied up
on. and she feared to trust her future
to such aaman. Representations and
entreaties were all in vain, and that

Mr. Bryant's Last Poem.

Mr.. Bryant's literary life extended
over a period of seventy-four years. In
1904, at the age of ten, he printed his
first poem in Massachusetts, country
paper, and on February % of the pres
ent year he wrote his last poem as a
contribution to the Washington's Birth
day number of the Sunday School Times,
of Philadelphia. The memory of Wash
ington has never received so worthy a
tribute from an American poet as the
six noble stanZaS given below:

Pale is the February sky,
And brief the midday's sunny hours;
The wind-swept forest seem to sigh
For the sweet time of leaves and
flowers. I- aa
Yet has no month prouder day,
Not even when the summer broods
Der meadows in their fresh array,
Orautumn tints the glowing woods.
For this chill season now again
Brings il its annual round, the morn
When greatest of the sons of men,
Our glorious Washington was born.
Lo, where, beneath an icy shield,
Calmly the mighty Hudson flows!
By snowclad fell and frozen field
Broadening the lordly river goes.
The widest storm that sweeps through |
space, sd
And rends the oak with sudden force, |
Can raise no ripple on his face
Or slacken his majestic course.
Thus, mid the wreck of thrones, shall |
Unmarried, undimmed, our hero's fame, |
And years succeeding years shall give
Increase of honors to his name
