WANTED THE NUMBER.
4 Little Girl Who Asked for the President's
Address

Many IF the delegates to the recent
locomotive engineers convention at
Richmond returned home by way Of
Washington, and went up to calf on
President Cleveland at his latest public
reception. John H. Shea. Of the Santa
Fe Road, had his wife and little daughter
Edna with him. When the Shea family
were introduced to the president little
Edna spoke up and asked where Mrs.
Cleveland was. The president smiled
benignly and replied that she had gone
out driving. Edna then wished to know
II the president had a picture of his wife,
Not here, said the president. but II
you will write me a letter after you get
home | will send you picture of her"
IAN right, will said Edna. What's
your nunber:'
What's my what" asked the presi-
dent, in establishment
Whats the number Of your house,
Edna repeated.
There was a general laugh at this, and
the president told Edna that he thought
his name was all she need put on the
envelope, as be was pretty well known
around here. chicago Herald

St. Louis Letter.

EDITOR SENrINEL:-I have just returned from your land of flowers, pasture lands anG orchards, more than ever pleased with whar saw and heard. The St. Louis colony, o which I was a member, propose to hell your county to become the Lest in the Ter. ritory, if not on the Pacific slope. Oul houses and opening farms will add some t. your real wealth, from month to month as we hope. The canal will carry water over the formerly sandy desert and bring howers and fruits in abundance. RoaGs bridges and business hou,es are necessary also; pasture lands and cattle must be had to develop the county. But these are not all. The school house, college and church are essential to a country's real worth. Our colony want the school house and church soon and the college by and By. The other towns of the valley must not be surprised If Chrystoval asks. for college, and not only asks, but helps largely to build it With those broad plains all in verdure and beauty. the rugged mountains standing about like so many sentinels, the breezes all balmy and refreshing from the gulf daily, what place could be more delightful for q college!
 As you go to the Legislature this winter, Mir. Editor. we hope you will secure for us wise school laws and such aid as that all our people can first have the benefit of liberal common school education, and we will advance to the other. While will speak and do for Arizona and her people all can. You may be assured that great interest has been awakened in this city about your country. I hear from there weekly and part of your people hear from us.

A Valuable Medical Treatise.

The edition for 1889 of the sterling Medi. cal Annual, known as Hostetter's Almanac, is now reade, and may be obtained free of cost of druggists and general country deal CTS in all parts of the United States, Mex ico. and indeed in every civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere. This alma nae has been issued regularly at the com meacement of every year for over one fourth of century. It combines, with the soundest practical advice for the preserva- tion and restoration of health, a large amount of interesting and amusing light reading, and the calendar, astronomical calculations. chronological items, etc., are prepared with great care and will be found entirely accurate. The issue of Hostetter's Almanac for 1889 will probably be the lar gest edition of a medical work ever pub- lished in any country. The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter & G., Pittsburg, Pa., on receipt of a two cent stamp, will forward copy by mail to any person who cannot pro- cure one ill his neighborhood.

GOLD, BOLD, GOLD!
A TRUE BONANZA unEARrhEp.
AS Usual, Yuma County Leads
 Them all!

I For some time past reports have been coming in of the wonderful golG mines which were said to have beer discovered in Ellsworth mining dis ttrict in this county. After careful inquiry and from letters received iron, reliable parties, the SENTINEL can say positively that the discovery made by Robert Stein, H. Walton and Mike Sullivan is one of the richest finds ever opened up in Arizsna. The lodges are capped with burned llme rock, but have slate and quartzit" walls, which guarantees I,ermanency. One ledge is fourteen feet in width. and the ore, which is of gray color. samples over $l00 per ton for the en tire width, and for its location length of l,500 feet. The solid ore shows very little gold to the eye, but the de composed iron rock is principally made up of the yellow metal, and one slngle chunk was taken out that is estimated to be worth at least $500.
 The very fact of the lodges being capped with limestone is what has prevented the discovery of the bonan- za in the past. A large number of locations have been made, and the county has thus another source of wealth added to it's already immense amount of rich and attractive resourc es. The following letter tells its own story, and Bob Stein's many friends know him to be a cool, levsl-headed and experienced miner:
 HARRISBURG, Dec. l4, 1888.
 FRIEND DoRRINGToN:-I wrote you few lines g week ago about the new discov- cry here. At present can not spare the tims to give you a full description of this wonderful strike. The new strike has never been equaled in Arizona and think never surpassed as far as the richness and size of ore bodies is concerned on the Pacific coast
 The ''Gold Mountain" claim is an inn mense body of extremely rich ore. Bould- CTS Of float weighing from one to five tons are worth from $50 to Sl ,OOo per ton. We have picked up thousands of dollars in pure | gold in pieces ranging from an ounce to over | s2Oo, the most beautiful specimens contain ing from 8 to $4OO in gold; all this laid on the surface below the ledge. and in digging in the ledge we found the most wonderful rich ore hanging together with gold. For the last two weeks we have taken out every day very rich ore worth hundreds per ton. have sunk down about ten feet and cut about that distance in the ore body. but found no walls yet.
 The Golden Eagle" is also wonderful rich mine. CaLnot tell at present its full 7ASS' W o ho'O bObo VI OAC HUH butb sacked whi;h is worth from $500 to sl, ,OOO per ton. We have also found very rich of lead ore. running as high as 70 per cent; cannot tell st present the value # the gold and silver.
 We will have grand and lasting boom ,ere, and predict that Yuma county will 1t once step in the front rank as gold pre- lucer As stated, cannot spare the time o give you full description of this prop. ;rty. As the Yuma SENTINEL has labored most faithfully in behalf of Yuma county, suggest that you send out reliable repor- CT who has the ability to fully and correct y describe this immense new discovery.
 Very Truly,
 RoBT. STEIN.

A railroad to Ensenada, and the line to Yuma, would help San Diego county more than any other pro- jected roads.

8cAseribe for the SENTINEL,
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-12-22

The state of Arizona is good enough for us. We do not banker to become an appendage of South California. We are willing, how ever, to allow Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties to become part of the new state of Arizona.
The Arizona sentinel., 1888-12-22
.oBT. STEIN. .

The report from Yuma, if true, shows that a very rich body of ore has been struck in the Harquahala mines in that county. The place was known twenty years ago by the discovery of pits of quartz by an army officer, and the ore was profit ably worked, but the terror of the Apaches kept prospectors out of the country until very recently. There are stories of $36,0O0 being secured in seven days by a party of five men, who simply scraped away the surface of the lodges and raked in the nuggets. Whether this be true or not, there is no doubt that much gold has been brought in from the diggingsy and that rush is taking place similar to the stampede to Tombstone. If the camp proves to be a good one it will help to restore Yuma to its old-time importance as an outftting station.-S. F. Chron- icle.
