Encouraging Science.

The Vermont Microscopical Associs- ton has just announced that a prize of $25O, given by the:Wells X Richardson Co. the well-k iown chemists, will be paid to the first discoverer of new disease germ. The wonderful discov- cry by Prof. Koch of the cholera germ as the cause of cholera, stimulated great research throughout the world, and it Is believed this liberal prize, offered by house of sdch standing, will greatly assist in the detection of micro-organisms that are the direct cause of disease and death.

The Msntszuma weIl..

Probably one of the most interesting relics of the prehistoric race that densely populated central Arizona if the Montezuma Wells, on Beaver creek thirteen miles northeast of Camp ye' de. The buried cities and ruins oi [, alt River valley are of more in ,I to the historian and day-dreamer,
 t they scarcely equal, in testimony, i large qu-. titles of broken pottery tn. ms 1S ie sites of our populous districts OIL the mesas ten or fifteen miles beyond the water carried by the most advanced of ouf modern irriga- ting ditches. But the Montesuma Wells calls for less exertion of imagi- nation. An almost circnlar hill that would not cover & forty-acrc field ses to the height of about 100 feet on the north bank of Beaver creek. At the tep is perfectly round hole, probably 300 feet in diameter, with perpendicu- lar walls of about fifty feet that de- scend to body of clear, water that assumes black hue as you look down into its unfathomable depths-abso- lutely fathomable-because bubblea come up for an hour from descending stones that visitors throw into its depths. An opening, whether artifi- cial or natural is unknown, permits the surplus water to run out under natu- ral bridge, forty feet wide, into the creek or a modern irrigating ditch which a utihtarian has led over lovely little homestead, thus securing an un- varying water supply. In the perpen- dicular walls are houses of stone built by that mysterious people of whose history we know nothing, that pre- historic race that has left no posterity. On the top of the bridge between the Wells and the crater are remains of de- molished forts or houses of more massive structure than those that indent the walls The Wells are of vol canic ori- gin, Band the water is trifle warm. There are probably hundreds-perhaps thousants-of square miles in Q body in Arizona in the great unknown region beyond the Grand Canyon upon which no white man has set foot. What are its mysteries?-Phenix Herald.

 Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly for July has a picturesque and well.illus- trated article, entitled "Into Oklahoma with the Boomers" giving much inter- esting information about the settlement of the Promised Land, as we'll as of the adjoining Cherokee Strip. "The Sa- moa Cyclone" vividly depicts the great naval calamity of last March, which has been compared to the historic de- struction of the Spanish Armada. Another notable contribution to this number is the account of the ascent of Mount Ararat, the Biblical "Noah's Mountain" by the Russian Imperial Geographical Commission, whose notes and photographs were specially secured for Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. "The Dynamo" is a timely popular science article. The biographical and natural history papers, sketches Of travel, short stories, poems, etc., are numerous and excellent.

Sensible Mining.

The regular arrivals st the Prescott
 railroad depot of wagons heavily loaded
 with gold ore from the Congress mine,
 give substantial evidence of the value
 of the mineral deposits of our noun
 tains. Culver's teams have just
 brought in 10000 pounds to be ship
 ped direct to the smelling works. This
 is about five car loads, and as the net returns, by the carload, average over
 S1,600, an idea may be formed d the : value of this business, which not only . r,:its money into the pockets of the , ,~,. ITS, but gives employment direct to : ;. idreds of people, an d indirectly to
 @-ousands.
 A couplf years ago this mine was
 lying d<r.- mt and neglected. It was
 haad work to induce anyone with capi- tai to even look at it. Many attempts
 were made to bring it to notice. At last Frank N. Murphy persuaded Diamond Jo Reynolds to go there and to put up the money to open 1t. The mine ' now producing and shipping ; from I75 to 200 tons of first class ore month, which fetches from $50 to $l75 per ton for the gold, and little silver. There is no lead. The ore is clean pyrite in quartz. It is broken out in large masses, and the second class ore remains on the dumps. Up wards of 1000 tons have so sccumula- ted and the new 20-stamp min now be- ing erected is intended to crush and concentrate this ore and put about four tons into one. This will give pro- duct worth upwards of $2OO per ton. This method of working gold mine is somewhat novel. Geld ores are usually too poor to ship in bulk. But in this case the average is high, and the smelt- CTS return 95 per cent of the assay value. The gold might be extracted by chlorination, but the first cost of the plant. and the costs of chemicals and would carry the expenses per ton to nearly the present cost Of | shipping and treatment.
 We understand that there arc large | reserves in the mine, and that every | appearance indicates that the property | will be a large producer for years to come.
 We congratulate the owners upon this substantial and well-deserved re- ward Of their courage and enterprise.
 There are plenty of mineral proper ties left. Who will next show similar .agacity, and reap 8 like return9

Death of An Old Resident.

JOHN HOOVER, BORN IN THIS DISTRICT IN THE
LAST CENTURY.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. John Hoover, prob
ably the Oldest native resident of the District
died at his home on New Jersey avenue between
NJ and n streets northwest. Mr.. Hoover was
born i'll Georgetown, Feb. %. 1893, and learned
the butchering business with his father who
was the leading butcher Of the District in the
early days of the century. The deceased after
being associated in business with his father
carried on the same pursuit from time to time
with his brothers Michael. Samuel and William
all of whom, though younger than he, died
before him. The youngest brother, Thomas,
was Presbyterian minister, who for many
years was a pastor of a church in Pennsylvania
and is now deceased.
John Hoover left no children. Since the
death OF his wife, about five years ago. he has
been in rather feeble health. His slaughter
house was for many years located Oh the run at
sewcr), but about fifty years ago he moved to
his late residence on New Jersey avenue above
NJ street, having his slaughter house ON North
Capitol street near street.
Before the war he was engaged largely az
government contractor in furnishing beef to
the army and navy, and about 1S47 he, with
one Stierberger. of Pennsylvania. bought up
about all the cattle in the eastern part of the
United States and was by some looked On as
THE FIRST CATTLE KING
of the country. In this project they realized
such large sums of money as to make him
financially easy the remainder of his life He
continued in business until he was past three
score years. His last place of business was at
8th and ID streets northwest, but he never lost
his interest in the meat trade, and was regarded
as the best judge of cattle in the district His
wife was Catholic, and after her death he
united with that church, becoming a commu-
meant OF st. Aloysius parish. Some years ago
he gave farm near Queens Chapel to the
church for the orphan children of the parish,
who for several years past have called on him
on his birthdays. He has also given literally
| to the Little Sisters of the Poor. Aside from
some country estate, he leaves but little city
property, but it is thought that he has left sew
eraI hundred thousand dollars in bonds, &c
His funeral will take place on Monday morning.
DR.. r. P. Howard, dean of the medical fac
| ulty of McGill university, and one of the most
distinguished medical men on this continent,

THE CASES FOR VIOLATION OF THE LIQUOR LAWS
on THE 3D OF MARCH.
The first instalment of charges against saloon
keepers for violating the Sunday law on March g.
i'll providing the Inauguration visitors with re-
treatments, was calledi i'll the Police Court yester
day afternoon. as stated in The STAR. The first
case called by Prosecuting Attorney Shillington
was that of Franz Niehaus Mr. Campbell Car
rlngton. for the defendant, demanded a jury
trial. This motion was denied and the court
heard testimony. The defendant. Mr.. CARING
ton explained had been in business n number
of years and this was the first time he had been
before the court for an alleged violation of law.
He thought that from the circumstances attend
ing the case. 1t was one in which the court
might properly take the defendants personal
bonds and save him from having record
against him. His client did not object to pay
ing the go fine, but he did not want a record
OF conviction to stand against him. The
paid fine OF 500 The charge
against Mary Crowley was nolle pressed and
Eisenbeiss was fined go, aud Mr. Darlington
appealed the case. In the cases of John Baier
and Jas. White. Mr.. Darlington said he would
admit the facts and ask the court to give judg-
ment. Fines were imposed and appeals were
noted. In the case OF Thomas Conroy. Officer
Nelson gave testimony. and Dir. Darlington
argued for an acquittal, but the court over
ruled his points and gave judgment against the
defendant; appealed. When the case of John
III. De Aley was called, Mr.. Darlington ac-
cepted judgment of guilty without hearing
the testimony, and appealed the case The
case of Eliza Davidson was continued for the
defendant to come in and accept the judgment
of the court. Louis Gmelin was fined $40
His case was also appealed. The next batch of
liquor cases will be called in court next Tues
