MANIA FOR COLLECTING STAMPS.

PhilateIy Seems to Catch the Old and
Young of All Glasses.
Philately, erstwhile called stamp collecting,
and relegated almost entirely to children and
youths, seems to be attaining rank among
collecting diversions that calls for some notice
of its merits and the pleasures attending its
pursuits Its devotees in this country alone
are numbered by the hundreds of thousands,
and comprise the old and young Of both sexes
and of all classes ard conditions Professional
men especially seem to have a weakness in
this direction, but, owing to the ridicule with
which stamp collecting has been met in the
past, many who are ardent collectors, and
who possess fine collections are 10th to admit
the fact, some even going so far as to deny
their hobby when pressed too closely in re-
gard to it.
However, the increasing favor that stamp
collecting is rapidly gaining as pastime is
doing away with the old prejudiccs, and
many are now to be found who are willing to
admit their indulgence in the pursut-some
timdly and apologetically, others boldly and
fearlessly It is to these latter that the self
styled philatetists are indebted for the move
ment that is now in progress for the forma-
tion of a national society of stamp collectors.
From present indications this society bids
fair toxbe q success, several hundred members
having been already enrolled. Its objects are
to establish closer communion among
stamp collectors, to admit of freer inter-
change Of specimens and ideas and to develop
better class of stamp literature than has
previously existed in America. Similar so
cieties havo fiouriShed for years in England,
France and Germany, and have done
much to advance philately. In this country
there exists score or more of local societies
which meet once or twice month, and these
are the nucleus of the national societies now
being formed.
1t may cause the uninitiated to smile at the
mention Of a postage stamp literature but,
nevertheless, such literature exists and a
considerable amount of it at that Quite re-
Gently there was started an illustrated
monthly called The Stamp Collector, which,
as its title indicates is entirely devoted to
philately. And a very creditable publication
it is, too, one that viii compare favorably
with the journals of any other specially
"This a mad world, my masters, but these
devotees Of the stamp-colecting mania seem
TO have some method in. their madness. 1t
can at least be said in their favor that their
form of mania is perfectly harmless both to
themselves and the world at large-New

BEFORE SAILING.

Lean closer. darling, let thy tender heart
Beat against mine that aches with heavy woe:
Drop thy quick woman's tears to soothe thv smart
All, me! that could ease my sorrows so!
But men must work, sweetheart, and women ween.
So says the song, so runs the worlds behest:
Yet time will pass, and tender comfort Green.
With hope in company, unto thy breast.
Now, ere we part, while yet on lip and cheek
Close kisses linger, clinging, passionate,
There is farewell word love fain would speak,
A tender thought love labors to translate
In earnest words, whose memory through thy
years
Shall calm thy soul and dry thy dropping tears
If in thy garden when the roses blow,
Or by the shelter Of thine evening fire,
In any winter gloom or summer glow,
Thy soul float seaward with fond desire
Fonder and stronger, then thy tender use)
Think thou: Zone longs for mo across the foam;"
And II, sweetfalling like the evening dews,
A special peace enfolds thy heart and home,
Then say thou, dear, with softly bated BREATH
In some lone wilderness beyond the sea,
Whether in light or life, in gloom or death,
My lovers spirit speaks to God for me
Kiss me, beloved, without doubt or dread,
We are not sundered, though farewell be SAID
All the Year Round.

Tine Harruvar Copper Mines.


 D. c. Kllng and the St. Lotus capitalists, Alfred Burkey and H. c. Gerke, their expert Mir. Nichol- son, with R. K McGrath and Geo. Hamlln, returned from King and Billiards Harcuvar mines yester- day. A Gazette reporter saw them in the evening and had a pleasant interview. Mir. Nicholson took the 4 o'clock coach for Maricopa on his return to St. Louis, where he will write out and submit his report. There was none of the us ual mystery surrounding such transactions manifest on the part of either expert or capitalists. In answer to the question If they found the mines as good as repre- seuted,' they answered, '.yes bet ter" To tho people of this city
  who know so much about the i'm mensity of these copper lodes or deposits, this will be good news, for it means active work on a large scale at an early day. Judge Gerke was profuse in his expressio S of admiration of the extent and richness of the mines. He sail that it appeared to him they were the outcroppings of an i'm mense copper basin that would be- come richer as they went down upon it." This is almost exactly the language used byO. F. Thorn ton in his report of the mines, made and published two years ago. Mir. Nicholson an experienced mi ner and an expert, who at one time was in charge of the Globe copper mines in Gila county, did not scruple in saying these are the greatest mines he has ever exam ined, and such will be his report. Judge Gerke and DTr. King eX- pect to leave for Maricopa this evening on ther way home where they will proceed to get every thing in shape as soon as possible. - Phoenix Gazette.

IT REQUIRED PLUCK.
i DIV Ed Schiefeiiu Discovered the
 Tombstone Mines.

Tombstone Mines.
 Mir. El. Schiefelin, of Los An geles, Cal, passed through Denver recently on his way to the East.
 Mir. SchieTelin is barnacle of the most orthodox type. He is an old Rocky Mountain prospector, and was the discoverer of the ia nous Tombstone Mines of Arizo- na in 1877. He has marked per sonality, and would be noticed anywhere. He is tall and well pro portioned. He wears his dark brown hair long, and the bushy waves hang well on to his shoul- ,ders. He sports the regulation broad -brimmed hat of the miner and cowboy. In other respects he dresses neatly and in the most ap- proved style.
 Mir. Schiefelin, luxuriously en- sconsced in the padded softness of a Pullman coach on the Kansas Pacific train, was very willing to relate some of the rough and com fortless experiences of his wild life as a prospector before he struck it rich"
 "I followed the life for a great many years," he said, drawing a stylish glove from one of his horny hands, "and didn't strike anything The trouble was I always followed the crowd, and by the time I got there the good places would be all taken up. Finally Istruck out for myself down into Arizona. I spent all the summer of '76 in the Tomb stone district. There were no white men within many miles, the nearest railroad point being one hundred and thirty miles away.
 "There were plenty of Indians though. Old Cochise and his band were right around me. The place which used to be the the old Chiefs stronghold is in plain view of the present town of Tombstone. It was dangerous, of course, but not so much so as if 1 had not been alone. All around in that vicinity parties of white men were killed that summer, but, being alone, l somehow escaped. 1 never built a fire all that summer, but travelled around from place to place, mak ing dry camp each night.
 II went out that autumn, and during the winter old Cochise died and his band broke up. In the spring my brother and myself with a partner went back to the place and each struck a good mine. We worked them for awhile at good profit and then sold them out. Al ter that l retired from the busi- ness, and have settled down to en joy the rest of my life.
 Its a hard rough life and it took me a long time to get there, but, I did finally. Perseverance will generally win" said the old fellow dreamily. The bell rang, the "all aboard' was sounded, and as tue train rolled off the old front iersman settled down into the soft velvet cushions, pulled his long locks end his sombrero over his face, spread ont the tails of his handsome frock coat, and fell into dreamy reverie of remembrance of the old days of hardship on the plains of Arizona.-Dsnver Trib- une.
