Tomorrow will be "Childrens Day" with
the Methodists in this city, and both the
morning and evening services will be of a
nature appropriate to such an occasion. The
interior Of the church is to be made beauti-
full with flowers, and birds will add their
songs to the voices OF the little folks. In
the morning the pastor will speak more es-
pecially to the older portion of the congrega-
ton on ssThe Duties of Parents to their
Children" In the evening Mrs. Smiley will
talk to the little ones, and songs will be sung
by the children. We are glad to see that the
denominations are becoming philosophical,
and realize that s'the child is father to the

Of the future must be made out of the plas-
tic material of youth. The way to interest
the young in religion is to make religion at
tractve by eliminating the harshness and
barrenness of controversial theology and sub
stituting the warm, full, strong life of the
New Testament. About eight years
ago proposition was introduced in
the General conference held at Brook
lyn that year, to devote one Sunday
each twelvemonth to services especially in
teresting to children. This was reported IA
vorably upon. and is now almost universal
among the followers of John Wesley. Rev.
Mr.. Sterling introduced the custom to the
Augusta Methodists, and it was received with
great favor by them. Other churches are
adopting the suggestion, and we hope it may
ere long become universal

From the Miner.

Dr. s. B. Farnham has returned
 from New York, where he has been
 several months organizing syndi-
 cate with the above title. He is go-
 ing immediately 10 work on pro
 perty located between Spcnce's
 Station. on the East Hassayampa,
 and Walnut Grove. The Doctor in forms us that the failure of the Little Pittsburg at Leadv;lle gave mining enterprises in the far West q black eye, and when il had partial ly recovered, the hot weather drove capitalists to the country and on the return of cool weather came the cleo tion so that he could do nothing until that was over, In two weeks after the political excitement ceased he had succeeded in procuring a working capital for the development of a number of mines and organized strong company to buy mines and other property.
 From the Democrat.
 Mr. Steadman, Postmaster at Big Bug, arrived in town last evening. The Chicago company who pur chased the Poland property are down no feet on the Belle, and have nearly five feet of ore in the bottom. The vein is steadily improving as it is sunk upon. The shaft of the Bunker Hill is down forty-fve feet, with a fine body of ore in the bottom. Con- siderable assessment work is being done in the district, and many old claims, abandoned years ago, are be- ing located. The present population numbers about fifty souls. A tri- weekly mail is carried between Pres cutt and the camp.
 From Jim Guild, who has been | doing assessment work on the south | ern extension of the California claim, we learn that Lane & Woodson have just made a clean up fiom their arastras, and took out $7OO in silver from 2,500 pounds of ore The ore carries very little base material in it, and works as well as gold quartz, in an arrastra.
