ORIGIN OF ST. NICHOLAS person
really lived /, 400 years ago, in Myra. o
city situated in what is now Turkey in
Asia. looking out upon the Mediterra-
mean, almost at the entrance of the Arch
ipelago. Nicholas was Bishop of Myra,
and SO devout and worthy man that he
was revered far and near. A mythical
story ts told of his restoring to life two
boys, whom landlord of Myra had killed
and sailed down with pork. This mir
acle made him the special protector Of
boys and students, and afterwards he be-
came pntron of Christmas gifts and the
particular saint of those holidays in this
wise. Nicholas came to be very rich as
Archbishop of Myra, and esteeming
money for it's real worth, the truest hap
piness it brings, spent good part of his
time in giving it away, so that no one
knew from whence it came. There was
nobleman in Myra who had three
portionless daughters, and Nicholas en-
abled them TO marry by throwing purses
of gold at their feet through the open
window. The nobleman found out who
the mysterious giver was, as st. Nicholas
was endowing the third daughter in this
singular way, and after Nicholas died
and WAS sainted the secret leaked out.
The nuns in the Eastern converts i'm
itated Nicholas secret charity, and used
to leave gifts at the doors of their friends
on certain holidays. The door of the
Abbess of the convent used to be decor
ated with q silk stocking, labelled with q
paper invoking the liberal aid of St..
Nicholas, and in the morning tho stock
ing would be found full of presents.
Children took to initiating this custom.
and hence rose the spirit of Santa Claus
or st. Nicholas and his wonderful sleigh
load. which SO many stockings have been
hung up to receive. There is quite a
lesson for older heads in the manner in
which Nicholas quietly bestowed his
charity.

FRISCO FACILITIES,
The Development of Our Rich
 Mines.

The Citizen gives the following list
 as the principal Arizona mines that are being developed by San Francis co capital:
 The Western Mining Company. which bought and has so lergely de velopcd the Contention, Is wholly made up e San Francisco money and men.
 The splendid operations now gong on in Hershaw District under the i'm mediate superlntendence of D. B. Gil lette, Jr, are promoted and paid for by San Francisco mining men.
 The great Silver King IS an Arizo- na development, aided by San Fran cisco. It is true, in the first instance, San Francisco mining experts report ed against this property, but that did Arizona no harm for the mine was rich and large, and is productive.
 The McMillen Is a success and much San Francisco money has been put into it and Globe District mines and mills.
 The Peck, with all its quartz and legal mills, is a success. and while San Francisco people have come into the organization and aided it, they do not seem to be the cause of it's troub- les.
 The Tiger development and it's fine hoisting works and mill, are a result of friendly union of Arizona men and money with San Francisco men and their cash. The management is most ly dictated from San Francisco, and not q word has yet been said against t, and it is believed to be 6 great suc- cess.
 The Tip-Top mine and mill were bought and put in operation hy San Francisco men and about S15o,000 of heir gold coin, and bullion is being shipped from there almost every week
 The Golden Star mill is a good one md was built by San Francisco noney
