ToEING DOWN OUR LIVES

Is there a word in all the dictionary more
full of meaning than the word harmony p
In this word we hardly know its full
meaning. AT an artists reception one day
saw a picture OF q mountain sunrise, and
wondered at its marvellous depth, rich
ness and splendor of shade and color, till
the artist told me how he had toned down
the picture and softened its coloring, into
its subduedh harmony Of tint ; and i thought
how often our life was growing to be like
that picture of a mountain sunrise. Gods
unseen hand is before the easel, sketchine
here and there. The life-picture looks tc
us unfinished, fragmentary, and imperfect
now, but each new joy-iight, each sorrow
shade is toningi it down through all its gloom
and glory into harmony with Gods great

setting of events rs he chooses, and we viii

OVER THE MOUNTAINS EAST.

Gen. Wilcox. who is and has been doing everything in his power to help Arizona has wisely ordered the Acting Engineer Officer of the Department to make thor ough examination of the Mogollon range of mountains, with the view of finding a better and shorter route across the same, which will enable the military and others an easier access to and from Prescott, the Capital of the Territory, and Fort Whlpple, the Headquarters of tine Department. IL Is quite evident that a shorter and much bet ter route can be found than the one now Tn use. Gen. Crook, several years since, made a reconnaissance of the country between Ar holds ranch, on Beaver Creek, and Turkey mountain, south of Stonemans Lake, ana informed us that an easy grade could be ob:ined, and much smoother country over which to build good wagon road than the old route by Beaverhead. Gen. Wilcox is of the same opinion, and as there is not much to keep hls troops employed with, we presume he proproses to open up one of the most important thoroughfares in the Territory. The Megollon mountains form grand lock between lbe East and and one of the richest mineral districts In the United States, and should the General succeed in furnishing key that will unlock the doors now so securely fastened, he will have accomplished that which is ot untold benefit to people all the the way from the Colorado of the West to the muddy waters of the Missouri, and make for himself a name and secure q lasting remembrance Tn the bosoms of an enterprising and appre- ciatiug people.

DEPARTMENT COMMANDER.

General c. B. Wilcox has now been ID command of the Department long enough for all to have formed an opinion of his ad- ministrative ability. It is true that the Territory has not had any serious outbreaks from restless Indians, necessitating any great amount of acton on the part of the General, still this quiet state of affairs can very appropriately be attributed to the policy adopted by the Department Commander since his ad yent into the Territory. Had It not been for the Generals decision to sup ply the San Carlos agency with rations from the commissary department, at time when that agency was entirely without the means of subsisting its Indians, general outbreak of the wards of the Nation must, as a nc cc.sity, have followed. The General has visited the various posts in his department distributed his troops where they would do the most good for the protection of the peo' p,e. and as a whole his administration of af- fairs has been marked with good judgment embracing decision, fairness and bringing prosperity to the Territory, comfort to the Indians and ease to the officers and soldiers of hls command.

THE ARIZONA MINER.

Two years ago this date we took charge of the MINER, and have continued to run it Daily and Weekly since that time, and with what success, we leave it to the outside world to judge. It has been our aim to work for all sectlons of the Territory, but more especially for the Northern portion, where we came to live in 1894, and expect to remain until our allotted time on earth shall have ended. Our subscription list has increased steadily; of job work we nave had plenty; advertising patronage, our share, and we are contented with the situa- tion. We have had our mean opponents to stand of, which we have succeeded admi- rably in accomplishing, and neither do we want to sell or incorporate our business. To those who have patronized us we feel grateful, and to those who have maiigned and tried to rob Us, we will ever be a sum- bling block in their path. We never let up, and in the future as in the past, we shall try and make the MINER, now in its fifteenth year, the same reliable, newsy and foremost journal in the Territory, and always stand ready tc advance the interest of the same, aud with this we commence our third year.

NEW ROAD COMMENCED.

Sam Tarr leIt on Tuesday taking out tools. etc, for the purpose of opening the new route which is to be in the future the great highway between Gila Bend and Prescott, and over which, for some time at least, supplies for Northern Arizona will be freighted.
 People who know nothing about freight ing, advocate the feasibility of building a road through Peoples Valley, over Ante lope Mountain and through Wickenburg- which has miles of slnd both north and south of it via Smiths miil aud thence to the Giia. It is entirely impracticabe, for various reasons, and nover will be adopted by teamsters. In the first place, Peoples Valley is miry, and the crust will not hold up heavily laden wagons. Secondly, Ante lope Mountain is impracticable for wagon road. Next the sand 0T the Hassayampa is a serious objection; and lastly, it is not SO direct as the route via Date Creek, Mar tinez, etc, and across the level plain to where the old road now crosses the Gila.
 MT. Carr will commence the digging of a we'll on the flat about eight miles west of the Nuturc mine, where we believe he will find ne serious obstacle to prevent him from securing plenty of water. It is more than likely that inc stages will run, from the Gila Bend station of the Railroad, to Phcnix, Wickenburg and over Antelope, as necessity, and thus supply all those places with mail facilities, but as for heavy freight coming that way, it is all moon- shine.

DEATH OF A rRoMINEsf MORMON

Elder Grson Hyde, native of Connecti- cut, died at Spring City, Utah, on the 2sth ult, from aiepose of the heart, in his '4th year. Elder Hyde WIS, at the time of his demise, one of the pillars of the Mormon Church, of which he has been follower and builder up for 47 years, having been baptized into the faith by Sydney Rigdon, October 30, 1881, and confirmed the same day under the hands of Joseph smith, the Prophet, from which time nntil he left this earthly globe, being a man of great natural
 ability and fine education. he has been powerful instrument in the hands of God for the defense and dissemination of the Gospel and the building up of what he con eeicntiously believed to be the true Faith. Ei,ser Hyde took his stand as follower of ahe Latter Day Saints, when the Church was weak andin its infancy, and had, step by step, ascended to the top 5:d become one of its pillars of support. H. made several trips as a Missionary to Europe, visiting England. Germany, Russia, and the Holy Land, and, in 1s4l, went upon the Mount of Olives, dedicated and consecrated the land for the gathering of JUdahs scattered remnants. He also erected pile of stones
 there as a witness, and oue up on Mount Zion, according to a vision given to him previous to leaving Nauvoo. and the pre- siictions of the Prophet Joseph.
 For forty-seven years Elder Hyde was a constant worker with his people, shared their hardships and privations in settling the .yalleys of the Mountains" and after plenty. prosperity. peace and power over took him and his followers. his path was smooth and clear down to the stepping of place, and the voice of this good old man, inst has been heard in many lands, is now hushed in death, and the spirit has gone to foin his brethren of the Holy Priesthood, who will welcome his coming with joy, and where it will receive the heavenly crown. He was true Mormon. and died strong in the faith, leaving behind to mourn his death a numerous family, among whom IS Mrs. Nathan Ellis of this town. Peace to his dust.

Murat Masterson made powerful and convincing argument in behalf of his client. Hon. Tom Fitch, the silver -tongued orator, fol- lowed his colleague in an able. eloquent and masteriy plea for the defendant Mir r. displayed unusual thought and erudltion, proving himself to be no mere skinner of law technicalities; but on the other hand, a deep, thinker, and one who had dived, so to speak into the very depths and intrica- cies of the peculiar subt:lities of the law of circumstaDtial evidence. Fitch ana Mas tcrson make a strong team, and really ne- lieve they could convince a criminal him self that he was innocent.'

Pizzols was the subject before that in quiring legal tribunal. Material connun. drums, aliGs sausages, were topics of great interest. The aristocr4ts from Mob Hill were present in full force. The Pizzoa delicacy, or cat sausage, had received en- dorsaments from them and nearly every bon ripaat in the city, ard they were 10th to be. lieve that their silver forks had lifted the little delicate roll, made from "Kittyn OF Tommy who were just blossoming into that tender state of feline wOmanhood and manhood, necessary to assuage an appetite from the pepuliarly favored dalnty morsel that had become so universally sought after at the Italian sausage market, until Johnny Martin, Freddy Brooks, and other little urchIns, all cat hunters, testified to having sold dozens of these hddle-string tabDys to Monseur PIzzola, the Knight of the Cleaver. During the testimony of Johnny and Freddy, half of the spectators or the front row of benches had disappeared, with faces pale to yellowness, and general air of sea-sickness, having gone out into the corri- dor to "see 2 man" Vivid recollcctions came up of tine beautiful coiored anu deli- ciausly favored sausage manufactured in that city two years and half ago, hy Ch0ng Tee. the Chinese epieure of the Pacific Coast, whose fame became renowned as the model manufacturer of sausage, thereby causing jealousies to spring up among his competing meat vendors, winch finally led to tiie employment of spy to try and find out the secret which the Celestial possessed that made his sausage preferable to all other, when to the astoniShment of not few. it was discovered that all Chinese who died and could be obtained by Chong, were immediately minced, spiced, etc, and s1ld, just as Don Pizzola has neen selling his cat article, for delioacies.

slOyer Mountain, al Colton, on the Yuma division of the Southern Pacific Railroad, says the Los Angeles Express. is supposed to have, underlying it, vast quarry of marble. Groupings have been found and partially prospected showing a well-detiued ledge of valuable stone, ranging in thick ness from two ro six feet at the surface and pitching downward at an angle of 45 or 90 degrees to the perpendicular. The Slower Mountain ledge has been known for some time, but no effort has been made to work 1t on account of want of capital on the part of its owners. Sore of the stone has been taken and burned for lime, of which, it is said, it makes very superior quality, being as fine and white as plaster ot=Halis. Last year some 300 barrels or this lime were manufactured and sold. X project is now on foot among number of gentlemen of San Francisco, Los Angeles and Cotton to open the ledge.
