Tux NEW Ir'orE.

The contest for the papal robes Of
Plus TX was not so hard or protracted as
was anticipated. This result was due to
no lack OF ambition On the part Of the
eligible candidates. and no lack OF parti-
san feeling among their adhsrsnts. The
Ultramontanes are as bitter in their pre-
JUDGES to-day as they have been in the
past: but the Church OF Rome is in no
position to attempt at this time to reas-
sumo the temporal sceptre which was
wrested from the hand OF the late Pontif.
The attempt. indeed. at this juncturc,
would be suicidal. and the great majori.
~ Of the Cardinals. whose judgment il
not warped by fanaticism. knew and ap-
preciatsd tho fact. Hence when Cardin.
al Hohsnlohe. In accordance with his in
struetions. declared that the election OF
an irreconcileabls Pope would oblige the
German government to take rspressivs
steps Immediately. the conclave took the
hint, and elected n man Of moderate
views. to the disgust and indignation Of
the Ultramontanes.
Gioachini Pecci. the new Pontiff under
the title Of Leo KILL. Is an Italian. and
sixty. eight years Of age. He wal born
In Carpeneto. In 1916 he became Bishop
Of Perugia. and in 1859 was raised to
the dignity OF Cardinal. lie was the
particular and trusted friend Of Plus
TX. and probably no selection OF = sue
cessor would have better pleased the late
Pontiff. His disposition il said to be
mild and amiabls. although he Is firm
in his convictions. and q man Of great
decision Of character. He Is somewhat
Of an author. too. which will be Of ben
eat to him in the preparation Of his
bulls and encyclicals. He has long
recognized the loss Of the temporal
power Of the church as an act Of Divine
Providence. to be humbly accepted as a
psnance. and by no to be opposed.
This being the case. he will in all prob
ability succeed in bringing the Vatican
into friendly relations with the Quirinal.
and with the governments Of other for
sign powers. On the whole, his election
will tend to solidify and strengthen the
spiritual power Of the Church. and per.
haps no better nan could have been
selected from the entire college Of Car
dinals.

ARIZONA.

We have been favored with q copy OF
Q new work on Arizona for revisval. 1t
Is entitled 1.-THE Handbook TO Arizona"
and constitutes a work Of some $50
pages. Richard ]. Hinton is the author,
and Payot. Upham & Co.. San Fran
cisco. are the publishers. II Is neatly
printed and contains a large number OF
w~ell-sIscutsd illustrations on stone and
wood. showing the principal cities,
towns. mines and other points OF inter
est throughout that section. including
Prescott. Tucson, flerencs, Santa Mo-
MICA. Fort Yuma. noted mountains, val.
legs. canyons. the famous ancient ruins
and relics Of former inhabitants long
since passed away. old methods OF
mining. the latest improved machinery
and furnaces now in use there. maps Of
the various mining districts. and n fine.
large. well-sIscutsd map Of Arizona,
which alone is worth the price Of the
book. The work itself Is q well.
written and complied history Of
Arizona from the earliest period down
to the present time, and gives full and
elaborate descriptions Of the mineral.
agricultural aud other resources, all the
various mines. from the earliest to the
latest discoveries and locations. detailed
classiacations Of all the various miner
ais. with the places designated where
they are to DO found. statistics Of tenn
p~erature. weather. etc.. and other de-
sirable Information to travellers. sx-
plorsrs. prospectors and others. Every
portion Of the country. together with its
people. native and otherwise. Is fully
described. The subject matter has been
collated from the most authentic and
official sources. and is written up in a
lively interesting style. 1t is seldom
that so much valuable and inter esting
matter Is found condensed in 4 volume
Of its sixs. and the book will 10 read
With avidity by everybody. especially
those having interests in that section or
contemplating q journey thithsr. It
should form . portion OF every ones
library. The only Objectionable fea-
turs Is the binIing. which. judging
from the specimen before US. is ilimsy.
cheap and miserable. and NO credit to
either the work or the publishers.

march. 9 hundred and twelve in mum.
Der. arrived at Zanzibar in perfect
health. The explorer describes the JOY
Of his black companions OF reaching
home as something ovcrpowering.
Fiinging themselves on the ground. and
spreading out their arms. they conveyed
handsful Of |. to their mouths to kiss.
OF rs II they would even devour Il. But
the people most filed with wonder were
the inhabitants Of Zanzibar. They had
seen Stanley and his company depart
overland toward the west, or rather
toward the northwest, and that. after 30
long q time they should come back by
water. and from the south. was some
thing no fellow could understand. II
was an ineIplicable riddle to the simple
minds Of the islanders.

A BONANZA SLAVE.
Hsw Msskay and Fair Get Cooked
In she Lower Levels.

IRON the 9. =. Post. Feb. is.1
John Mackay, the bonanza king. bad ar
rived on the surface, Aftsr spending three
hours In showing . small party OF experts
through tho 1900 level Of the 0phir mine.
Tho temperature In tho drifts was about
II2 degrees. and tho air % foul that
candles would hardly burn. While the
party were below, three miners had been
carried from tina faces Of the hot drifts
10 the station insensible. II Wa only
through tho constant use Of leo water In.
ternaiiy and externally that Mackay and
his company could gropo their way from
place TO place. Their examination wa
long and critical. At the end Of three
hours they returned 10 the surface ex-
hsusted and painting. Mackay's face was
begrimed with dirt and Redeemed with the
intense heat. His eyes wore sunken and
staring. His tongue wn almost hanging
from his mouth - he painted In the fresh
air. "Look ct me-" be said 70 his friends.
Do I look like . BONANZA king2" "More
like Q bonanza slave" was tho response.
Macksy's return from Paris 10 said 70 have
cost him thirty pounds Of fiesh, which has
boon melted OF his royal bones princi-
pally In tho hot drifts OF the 0phir mino.
Both Mackay and Fair. who arc worth un.
told millions. arc daily In danger Of their
lives whom on duty. and yet people call
them bonanza kings. Why don't they re-
tire from business and let somebody elso
do tho work for them. people say. Well.
we suppose they feel that nobody can at.
tend TO their business ~ well - themselves.
Here. evidently. lies tho secret OF their
wonderful success. They have millions
Of dollars invested In the Comstock mines,
and In order 70 protect their vast interests
they are truly BONANZA slaves.
