Pointed Prayer.

The chaplain who opened tue Spring field, ILL, House of Representatives with prayer recently, made a very important inr ovation on the usual method of per- forming that ceremony. He begged that "the Omnipotent would give the members more wisdom and greater prcmptituGe.' This was very good. but 1t was tame compared with that portion of q prayer offered in the Pennsylvania House one morning, when the clergy man raised hs voice and said; 70 Lord, give these lawmakers more brains more brains more brains =" As he uttered this pious petition the third time the word "amen was heard at the reporters table. A Maine paper reports an incident of similar character. The Senate of the State was in a deadlock, and the preacher who opened with pray CT used the following appropriate lan- guage; 70, Lord, have compassion on our bewildered Representatives and Senators. They have been sitting and sitting, and have matched nothing. O, Lort, let them auise from their nest and go nome, and all the praise shall be Thine"

Lncation and Lode niseorerr.

In a recent case before the Commits sioner of the General Land Office an at tempt was made to oIlst locator on the ground of illegality, because no vein or lode had been discovered prior to lGca- tion, and none had been discovered since. The Commissioner declined to order an investigation, because of the want of proper evidence, there being nothing but allegations to sustain the charge. In attempts of this kind to se- cure an investigation, the charge must be sI5tained by the strongest kind of evidence.
 In this connection it is proper to say that if the Commissioner of the General Land Office had a telephonic connection with every locator Of a mine in the country, and was asked the question, "What to do?" he would advise each and all, under any and all circumstances, to obtain patent the first thing, and be- fore development. Why? Because # IS likely to avoid vexatious and expensive litigation. It rarely occurs that an ad- verse claim is put in before a mine IS shown to be valuable; then the claim ants swarm like mosquitoes, and, like that bird, are after blood, and will put every obstacle ill the way of a legitimate locator to prevent him from obtaining his own. It is no exaggeratiOn to say that fully three fourths of the adverse claimants to the mines have really no claim at all, but set up proceedings for the sole purpose of being bought oii. and in this they are too frequently sue cessful, for their fraudulent claims can not always be discovered in the Land Office, for it is simple matter to get up any required evidence by combination of interests. And this is really cOmbi- nation work, for one who has-gre9fs facl- ities for knowing what comes into the General Land Office, says that there are undoubtedly organized bodies of men whose sole business it is to get up ad- verse claims throughout the mineral re- giOns. They have no other business, and some of them have been very successful at it, that Is, made fortunes. It IS one of the evils inseparable from mining, and cannot be prevented so long as locatOrs do not promptly obtain patent for their claims. Better far lose little some thing on a false lead occasionally, by paying the expense of patenting, than when a good strike is made, be ham, pered by band of unprincipled harpies as base as their unprineipled counsel. -lCor.

Folly of High Prices for Prospects.

The same inordinate greed and utter ignorance of values that drive the pros pect0r over the hills that are full of rich mineral to some ether place unexplored, induces him to place a ridiculously high price on the properties he has located To discover lead, get an assay or two, and then sit laizly down to await a S50,- O)O mar is simply ridiculous You may catch fool, but in these days, when mining men know that they can buy hundreds of prospect holes with the assessment worked for Sl0O, and many for sl0O, your chances are very poor. Why not place a reasonable price on your claim, go energetically to work and find a buyer, and with some money in your pocket to outfit yourself comforta- bly, proceed to make your locations? We had the pleasure Of meeting a miner the other day, who had not money enough to buy a clay pipe, but who Lad claim that le will either get S40,000 for or hold it till dO0msday.' Such a policy is keeping many a miner in the tolls of poverty who might be independently rich-i Mining World.

Shot with q Piece of Ouartz.

A singular accident occurred above
 Cherokee, on Thursday morning last, to ! miner named Samuel Smith, who was
 working the "Old DufIield claim" with ! Mir. F. B. FOwles. These men were de
 veloping the mine, MT. Fowles working
 during the day and Mir. Smith at night. About five o'clock on, Thursday morning Mr. Fowles heard blast in the direction
 of the mine, and at seven o'clock went
 to the mouth of the tunnel to resume his
 shift, and seeing no light or hearing no
 noise thereabout, he halloed the mans
 name in the tunnel several times. Get ting no answer, he started to find out the cause, and after going some distance he stumbled upon the lifeless body of poor Smith. Fowles had him conveyed to q cabin near his residence, and sent for Coroner Van Harlingen. On examina- tion there was fOund to be but one wound. A piece of quartz, about half
 an inch one way and One-fourth of an inch another, had broken through the center of his breast bone and imbedded itself in his heart, making q hole as if
 shot by a musket ball From appear
 ances of blood stains, he had walked
 about fifteen feet after being struck.
 The accident is accounted for on the sup
 position that the blast did not go off as
 soon as he expected, and went back to
 examine the cause, and when about fif- teen or twenty feet from the place an ex-
 plosion took place, and he was killed by
 the flying fragment MT. Smith was native of Sweden, aged 59 years, and was highly respected by his brother miners and all who knew him. Tuolumne In- dependent.

The Coming Trnnsii of rsuu.

The next transit of Veuus over the suns surface wlll occur Onthe 9th day of December, 1882. the last one having oc- cured December 9, 1874. At that time extensive preparations hal been nade all over the world, and exIeditions were sent to the most distant parts of Africa and America in order to! fnllv test ebe improved instruments whiah the iugenu- ity of modern scientists have devised. | On this account the transit of the com ing year is doubly important; first. be- cause all questions which fhe application of new instruments gave rise to. all mis- calculations or individual differences of observation among the astronomers who took part, will verified and Aet at rest: and secondly, because another transit of the llnd will not take place For period of 1 l20 years, when the most incipieut as- tronOmers of oUr day will have been for gotten
 The question which is still in doubt. and which the transit Of IsS2 can 70 far toward settling, is tAe exact distance from the sun to the earth-an h uncertainty which at present flinders all exact calcu- lations concerning the masnitude of the whole solar system.
 The transits of Venus which were ob- served were those Of l63l a ld ltS39, neith- CT of which contributed anything to sci ence. That of I7Gl, andIn in order. gave no valuable data, and its successor, although it elicited much serious atten- ton, left the precise value bf the parallax in doubt even at the time Of the last ob- servations on December 9, aS74
 Then the event attracted universal at tentiOn, scientific observations were made at various points as far north and south as possible, and many valuable data were collected, which awaits tue only positive proof that can be given then during this or the coming century. For the follow ing year still more extensive preparations are making, and there is avery prospect now that the scientific results then to be obtained will settle all matters now in dispute or doubt.

McYers District.

There has been little doing in this district during the present season beyond prospecting. 1 company of Pliladelphians own the principal mines here, and from adyices lately received from Philadelphia we learn that opera tions in this District will be pushed ahead soon. The mines on the Gum sight Mountain is the main silver belt of Arizona, and there Is no doubt that this mineral deposit owned by this company will become the best paying mining property in the Territory, It IS fortu- nate thing that these valuable mines are owned by men whose circumstances can afford to easily work them. The situa- ton and lay of the country will be always a drawback to the poor man in that country. We learn that Mir. Bivins, who is operating with L. J. F. Iaeger in that section of country, and who owns mines there, will shortly be here to resume work Yuma Sentinel

Rev. Wm. Gill Mills, l.. L. D.

Rev. Wm. Gill Mills, late pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church Of the city, left Tuesday for California. Mir. Mills preached his first sermon in Tucson on June list, 1879, and preached for Rev. Mir. Anderson, the Presbyterian minister, dur ing his absence of three months on a we'd ding tour. He began preaching regularly as pastor of the M. E.. Church in October, 1879, aud held services first in the Court House and afterwards in the Presbyte- rian edifice. He resigned his pastOrate several months ago, but promised tO re- nam until a successor could be obtained, which he did, although at pecuniary loss. During his soioum m Tucson his labors in the cause of Christianity have been marked with cenilemanly forbear- ance and zeal that few possess, and like a true Christian he has always stood ready and willing to extend spiritual comfort to all who desired 1t and tO attend to all burials needed, and other demands upon his time without fee or reward.
 Mir. Mills is Q profound philosopher, and possesses very high mental attain ments. He is thoroughly conversant with almost any topic upon which con yersatlon may turn, and his arguments show great depth Of research and thought His efforts at preaching have frequently been followed by requests for a repetition of his discOurses from the intellectual portion ofhis congregation. He isa man of liberal views and broad understanding, and practices those virtues six days in the week which he breaches on the sev- enth The late Rev. Mr. Dean and he were very intimate friends and during his last illness Mr. Mills was daily at his bedside, and rendered him delicate and valuable assistance. His many warm friends in Tucson regret his departure and wish him many blessing in the sphere to which he goes. It is their wish that he may find it advantageous to again re- turn to the ancient city on the deserts of Arizona.

 "Oh. Billy" said she with uplifted hands, "how can you attend those hor- rid shows where the performers have SO little on2"
 "That's nothing" said the boy gravely, q went one night to a place where the performers had nothing at all on; not a stitch, ] assure you.'
