THE signs of the times indicate Q revival of mining enterprises duIirg the approaching season. Many mar velcusly rich discoveries have res gently been made; improvements in reduction works have been perfected SO as to insure he working of low grade ores at a profit, and transpor> tation facilities are now complete d into most of the productive mineral regions where tLey were lacking. It has been satisfac torily demon strated that mining the preci, us metals will pay handsomely if con ducted pruden'ly. Therefore, capi- tai is recovering from the panic caused by the blunders and follies perpetraied in the name of mining, and sensible men are coming to the conclusion that it is just as we'll to make twenty per cent. out of a silver or gold mine as It is to make five or ten out of railway or manufactur- ing enterprise.-Ec0nOmist

THE Albuquerque Journal, speak ing of the oppos tion ot certain of he press of this Territory 10 Judge French, says: "Those Arizona pas pers that are fighting the Judge pre-, tend to base their opposition upon the alleged fact that he is ''too friendly 10 the Mormons"-but that's mere stufT-it wouldn't be a very knowing kind of bird that would be caught with that sort of chaff. Mormon" is very potent word just now, and is supposed to be very convenient and serv1cea bile sort of dirt to throw at Q public officer; but Judge French is an upright, honorable man, and the charge that he would "lean" toward the Mor- mons, or any other sect, at the ex> pense of jusflce, is too absurd to be worthy of consideration.

The Fire at Prescott.

From the Courier we gather the following particulars Of the fire in Prescott on last Friday morning:
 At about 15 minutes past 2 o'clock this morning, more than three fourlhs of the people of Prescott were awakened by the startling cry of ii.e, accompanied by the pealing of bells. It was soon learned that the fire was in the Sherman House. on the south side of the plaza. The building, -tlarge, two-story frame, was recently erected for it's propric- tor.
 The fire spread rapidly from room to room: the people of the hotel had barely time to get their clothes on and run III search of safety.
 It did rot take the flames long to take good hold of J. w. Wilson & Co.'S clothing store and the Palace saloon, on the east which being also Of wood, added d great. deal of fresh fuel to the flames. A cottage, work shop, etc., belonging to MT. William Wilkerson, of the Sherman House, were added 10 the great bonfire, which soon took hold of MT J. L. Fishers store, the old "C. O. D., and communicated with some wooden buildings belonging to MT. 1f;.ol,o1- XE,r.oeor Of Dboa,iv Small houses back of these build ings were also burned. It was. at one time fearC that the fire would spread to the old meat market, in front of the California market, and take hold of ihe swooden buildln gs in that locality, Giant powder, hccks and some water, with favor ble breeze from the southwest, en- abled the workers to prevent it do- ing so.
 Every effort possible was made to save property, and considerable was saved.
 Rough estimates place the entire loss at about $60,000, less than one- half of which was covered by in ! l surance. The loss 10 the town will be much greater than this. We have said that the fire started about fifteen minutes past two; by half- past three all danger oi it's spread ing was passed, for the materials of the block were by that time concen- trated on and close to the ground.
 Noticeable incidents were very few. A sick lady had to be tendeily carried from the hotel 10 a place of safety. MT. $. N. Holmes, his wife and young lady friend were in the hotel. The ladies escaped. At this writing, a. m painful rumor ex- 1 ists to the effect that MT. Holmes cannot be found. When the fire started he rushed to a back room after some valuable papers, It is feared that he has lost his life in the | flames.
 A man was seen to spring from one of the windows of the second story. He was not injured q.
 LATER. = After the flames had somew hat subsided a human bo[y, i cbarred and burned, was found, which, though unrecognizable, was thought to be the bcdy of s. N. Holmes. In fact, as MT. Holmes l~ the only one who was known to have been in the building, and 2s the body was found beneath MT. Holmes room, there is but little doubt but that it is he.
 Some one fired two shots, without effect, at man stealing goods.

A Great River of the North,
Life 10 Puget Sound.

Ld1e IN Puget SOUND.
The most interesting part of the jour-
ney was the passage of the Columbia.
The bar at the mouth of the river is a
great hindrance to its free navigation,
and vessels are often detained for days,
and even weeks, waiting for favor
able opportunity to cross. We waited
five days outside in the fog, hearing all
the time the deep, solemn warning of
the breakers. Our steadfast captain,
as long as he could see nothing, refused
to go on, knowing well theArisk. At
the end of the fifth day he entered in
triumph, with clear view of the river,
the grandest sight l have ever seen.
The passengers seemed hardly to dare
to breathe till we were over the bar.
AS we passed into the river 1 sat on
deck, looking about. l had long looked
forward to seeing this immense river,
seven miles broad, rolling seaward, and
the great line of breakers at the bar;
but no one can realize, without actually
seeing it, how much its grandeur is en-
HANGED by the surroundings of inter-
minable forests and the magnlfcence of
IS snow mountains. The character of |
the river itself is in accordance with |
everything about it, especially where it |
breaks through the Cascade mountains
in four miles of rapids, and still higher
up, shut between basaltic walls, rushes
with deafening roar through the mar
row passage of the Dalies, where it is
into one-eighth of its usual
width. For long time could not re-
ceive any other sensation or admit any
other thought but of its terrific strength.
The Indians say that in former times
the river flowed smoothly where are
now the whirling rapids of the Cas-
,ades, but that landslide from the
banks damned up the stream and pro-
luced this great change.

Long Life.

For months past the press has beer
publishing names and Incidents in the
lives of people who have passed beyond
century. 1t is remarkable, when one
stops to think of it, the number who
have passed their -hundredth birth
day. Insurance statistics show that the
average life of men is longer than fifty
years, and all things seem to point to a
time when it will not be an unusual
thing to record the hundredth birthday
of person. Probably the oldest per-
son in the country is Thomas Van Va
lin, of Syracuse, N. Y. He has reached
the ripe old age of one hundred and
four. 1t is certainly a matter of sur
prise to others and of congratulation to
him that he has reached this unusual
age in good health and unimpaired in
| tellect. He, in talking with a reporter,
age he has is that they were not brought
up right in their childhood. He fur
Their claims that the children of to-day
are too tenderly cared for, petted and
fed too much, etc.
While we all have great respect for
the opinion of the old and experienced,
yet in this case there are few who will
entirely agree with the aged gentleman
in regard to children. 1t does not stand
to reason that child well cared for
and given those comforts which makes
its young heart light and happy, is to
live less number of years than is a
child used only to cuffs and kicks in its
younger years. If this rule is correct,
then it must apply to live stock, and all
know it will not, as the stock which is
the most tenderly cared for gives the
best return and is less liable to disease |
and hence liable to live longer than |
stock neglected and uncared for. TO |
be sure there may be such thing as
permitting a child to eat that which |
would be and is. detrimental to health, |
yet it is seldom that a child will, of its
own accord, persist in eating that
which is an injury to it. 1t is contrary
to nature, and beng so, the child, act
ing only as prompted by nature, repels
t lat which is not of good to it. That
is in general way. The treatment of
the sick is a good Illustration of this
point. Not many years ago the sick
we're denied that food which nature
,raved. Now they are given it, and the
result is far more satisfactory than I'M
der the old way. Taking it all in all,
)ne question after another, the facts all

human family is growing shorter.

The hotel lobbies are empty. The town
is given over to poker-playing and
church-going.
thought that the poker-playing at
the last session was something phenom-
email, but it was mild compared with the
excuses that some of the statesmen are
indulging in this year. Games are 90
ing on everywhere. All tastes can be
gratitied. You can find games of one
cent ante and ten cents limit and ten
dollars ante whose limit no man know
eth. There are little minnows of gam
blers who swim about in little private
games, and great whales for whom the
ocean for imitless betting is hardly
large enough. Considering that there
are few rich men, the betting is simply
amazing. 1t is nightly occurrence for
man to win or lose $500, and some
lucky players have quit 81, 900 ahead at
sitting. A Louisville politician got
into IA game the other night, and after
losing $500 pulled out 500 winner, and
the game was not what was called a
large one, either.
And what list of gamblers Frank
fort can boast of having seen! All the
great names of the state, orators, states
men, lawyers, politicians, journalists
the intellect of the state, have for the
greater part of century been concen-
trated here at certain seasons of the
year. They will show you the table

Humphrey Marshall beat John C.
breckenridge. What royal old play
ers were these men of the olden time!
Jokes that were gotten off between
deals have become the property of the
nation. Sentiments that were uttered |
then have since become household
words. 1t is universally conceded that
Kentuckians are the best poker players
in the world, and the palmy days of
Kentucky poker playing were when
men like Marshall sat at one side of a
table and men like Clay sat at the other;
when man would burn his right hand
off before he would heat, and when
the usual bet was ''two niggers agin
fifty acres of blue grass" But alasi
alas! The days-the royal days-of
poker playing, like the days of chival-
ry, are over and gone and the time of
cold decks and run-up hands and
marked cards is here, and the glory of
the old game has faded forever.
Men have come here and for years
had salaries ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000, and left bankrupts; it had all I
