The FoyR TEIALs-rbe,e was once
an old monk who was walking through
forest With q i.ttle scholar by his side.
The old man suddenly stopped AMI
pointed To four p!auts close A. hand.
The first was just beginning to peep a.
bove the ground, lhe sec,nd had root
cd itself pretty well into tho earth; the
third WAS small shrub; whilst tho
fourth and last was . full s'z46 tree.
Then the Cd monk said 10 his Young
companion:
Pull up tb. first
Tue boy easily pulled it up with his
fingers.
Now pull up tho second
The youth obsyed. bu, not 80 easily.
And tbs third
But the boy had to put forth all his
strength an used both arms before he
sucdes led in uprooting it,
And now said the master, Try your
hand upon the fourth
But 10 the trunk OF the tall tree
(grasped IN the arms of the youth
scarcely shock its leaves and the little
fellow fonni it impossible to tear its
roots from the earth.
Then the vie old monk explained 10
his scholar ths meaning Of the four trials.
THE, my son, is just what happens
with our passions. When they nre young
and weak. one may. 10y little watchful.
aess over self, and the help OF lutte
self denial easily tear them up; but II
we let them cast their roots deep down
into our souls, then no human power can
uproot them, the Almighty hand or the
Creator alone can pluck them out.
For this reason, my child, watch well
over the first movements OF your soul,
and ssIdy by acts OF virtue TO keep your
passions well in check

tEhe harcuvar Mines.

! These mines are situated in ths north-eastern ,rner of Yuma coun- ty, Arizona; in the eastern foothills of range of the same name. They are owned. snd being developed, by Messrs. D. c. Kling s Co, lately of Leadville. Colorado: these gehtie- men having tip to the present writ> ing expended upwards of $29, 900 in actual work on she premises. They are distant from the.city of Phentx, ninety miles by wagon road, and gre about ssnventy-five miles north of the line of the Souther Pacific rail- road.
 They show an immense deposit of copper on the surface,in some places the lodges of ore rising over l25 feet above the level of the surrounding country. Here. within a radius of me and half mics from the enor-. nous central ledge. are twenty four claims that are'being worked bv'the company; all of then, having -hafts or iucllnes, from ten to forty fee. in depth. and showing ore veins with solid footwalis-the veins themselves being from four to forty feet in width, and the ore they bear being. very rich In qrslity.
 Some of these claims show . great deal of iron. and one of them IS rich in galena.
 There IS an abundance of wood in the surrounding country. but water has to be hauled a distance of eleven miles from Cailin's Wells on the old Ehrenberg stage road. Most of the ore dumps are approached by care> fully gradei wagon road'-the roads in question being, iu fact, far better than those provided by the county.
 A comfortable camp is centrally located with sleeping houses for the miners, dining.room, stable, etc.
 There are at present five different companies negotiating for the pur- chase of this property. One party has already had their hienon the road while others are following. Two reports have'b cen m ado hy ex- perts, both of which reports agree in placi ng their estimate of the am ount of money in sight at an enor- nous figure, and there is no doubt that the negotiations now pending will bring about satisfactory sale. When capital takes hold of them and erects the necessary smelters, these Etrcuvar mines will provo to be the largest deposit of copper in ArizcSa.

Fire Matters.

The meeting at the courthouse last evening for the purpose of consider ing aihre organization and purchase chase of fire apparatus was quite well attended by citizen taxpayers.
 MT. ! L. B. Alexander called the meeting to order and nominated Mir E. Gang to preside. The nomination being confirmed by vote of those .PFesent MT. Ganzssook the chair. N. hgSI1srfo, h d Was then asmed to act as secretary of the meeting
 The chair then stated the object of the meeting City Treasurer Mitchell stated that at theFtaahest of citizens he had been in correspoh6- ence with various parties concerning costs of fire apparatus etc., but thougHtt tthet the matter should bo taken in hand more authoritatively and systematically ,sand tha: com mittee should be appointed to look up these points for the city. Mir N. Rosentfal thought . hand engine or hook and ladder appara- tus would not be practicable here in summer time and advocated a steam fire engine and that the committee should be instructed to ascertain the costs of same. He moved that 8 committee for this purpose be ap- pointed.
 Mir. J. L. B. Alexander offered ss substitute motion that eemmit- tee of i've be appointed by the chair 10 ascertain th e costs of steam and hand engines, hose and hose Ecart, digging five cisterns at tlse ;ntersec- tions of streets.
 Moion Was seconded ,ahd ~car- ried and the chair named ss such coE.nAittee, M ssrs. Thos. Sherman, W.iR. Carey, T. w. Smith, Geo. F. Goats and J. L. B. Alexander. :
 A general expression of opinion on the.subject of fire apparatus being called upon the practicability and cost of steam and handengires was generally discussed by number of citizens, the sentiment largely pre-. vailing that for the present 8 good hand engine would be more practica- ble and much less costly.
 The advisability of purchasing the Tombstone hand engine was considers ed.
 MT. Thornton recommended 1t as entirely new and first-class engine of the kind.
 MT. Mitchell stated that he had been in communication with the Tom bs;one authorities regarding the matter and that the engine could probably be had for about $500. [The original cost ot the engine lard down in Tombstone was $2ss60.- ED.]
 Moved to adjourn, subject to the call of the chair. <

It will be observed that this law

It wilt be observed that this law has been in force since the 6th of I March, last, aud any suit or action l which has been instituted since that time without compliance with its I;provisions may atonce be dismissed.
 It is doubtful if any law can be found among the statutes of any of our states or territ&rIes so obnoxi- ous hi it's provisions as.this act, and 1t Is very strange that any such law could be passed by a1y legislative body having among it's members 8, half dozen persons of ordinary intel-s ngence, and It is stilE*aore strange that such law should have been ap-, proved blythe Executive officer of the Territory, with whom is lodged 'the power to prevent such mischiev> ous Legislation.

But this is not the worst of the provisions of the law, though utterly degtfsnte oi means sliescannot
 
 prosecute her action against the company without first giving 'eonds for the payment of costs should she fail in her action. including the charges 6f the attorneys of the.rail> road conlpany for their fees. This is but one illustration of the epera- tion- of ithis law. A multitude of cases sGf like hardship will occur to anyone on reading the statute. Its] every provision is in deroga<ipn of sacred human rights. It Is ramei in the interest and for the protection of the wrong doer and is an outrage upon those who can only obtain sredress for wrongs inflicted upon them by appealing to our, courts. $:
 The prospector driven from his claim by violence, the settler upon public lands who is in quiet posses sion and is busted by the railroad company or other intruders, if he have 10 paper title to his possession IS shut out from the courts in his attempts to seek 1sS;r ress, unless he is able 10 pay for the legal serv,ees! he maysrequire and bis expenses of otherwise tfran sfroin the money or property he 'hiay'reeover, and then even>the doors of the courts ate shu. against him until he give n 4 d d io foz tA tfI4e, I4e,iet eati eatiorneys, lf ll IiR shs plleli5 lwho ifas Mronged him, in case he faiieSin.
