The Centennial Mines.

To day we met Captain A. w. Smith, who returned from the Harqua Hala mountain gold strike yesterday. That he is pleased with the prospects is Illustrated through the fact that he has bonded for St. Louis company several claims located by Henderson and West about 7,7O0 feet south from the original strike made by Wharton, Stein and Sullivan.
 The captain is thorough mining man; posted on the formation of Lead vile, Deadwood, Tombstone, Quijotoa and other districts, and says, in his opinion, richer discovery has not heretofore been made. In the first place, the lodges run few degrees west of north and south, and cuts all the other locations such as the Vul- ture, the Harcuvar copper mines, etc, at almost right angle.
 At the first location, known as the "Bull Downing" the ledge is l60 feet wide, and lays between porphyry and black lime walls. Seven or eight thousand feet it widens out to three. quarters of a mile, and is then be tween porphyry ard quartzite walls. While stating that the indications are "pockety" Captain Smith says the prospects are far richer than he ever saw before, and that the carbonate ore taken from ledge east of the new rich strike has every resemblance to that of Leadville, being of gray quartzite and assaying from the hun dreds upwards. The carbonates are of black sand formation. while the rich gold ore is of decomposed Iron. A better field was never afforded for prospectors, as there is plenty of water and considerable amount of timber. Like Leadville, placer mines have been worked within a few hundred feet of the ledge for the last twenty years.-AriZonan.

That Corruption Fund.

EDITOR SENTINEL The belief be comes more general as the days roll by that the Phoenicians will go to Prescott with goodly sack to infu ence legislation in the interests of Arizona, i. e., so much of 1t as is em- braced within the boundary lines of Phoenix All right-thinking men deprecate the introduction of corrup- tion funds into the deliberations of any legislature, and more particularly into an Arizona legislature. The Territory has enough sins to answer for without adopting the larger ones of old states. Then it looks, judging from we'll founded reports, as if the lobbyists of Phoenix consider the ma iority of the members elect as so many bullocks, and that all they will have to do when the legislature is or ganized is to unloose the strings of the sack and count down the "thirty pieces of silver" and walk away with the capital. The missionaries who have been abroad throughout the land have, no doubt, reported their esti- mate of the probable cost of the job, and if the fund is not already large enough more will be added. It must be a pleasure(D for the new fedged honorables who are to make or mend our laws to have such an estimate put upon them. The Tombstone Prospec tor of recent date whispered word of counsel into the ears of Phoenix, which it would be well for 1t to heed. There is such thing as asking too much. It is to be hoped that when the legislature convenes 1t will be deaf to all and every scheme that will en tail cost upon the people, and will lop off some of the eXcresences, notably the office of Commissioner of ImmIgra tion ard that of School Supcrin tendent that now burden it with useless expense, Let the Republican administration be inaugurated upon an economical basis that shall inure to the benefit of the people and the sue cess of the party in the future.

Annexation,

EDITOR SENTINEL has struck the key note for this section of Ari- sona. Phoenix has got too big and rapa- eioss for the Territory, and to save ourselves we should ask to be joined to California. It is believed, and upon good grounds, too, that large corruption fund has been raised in Phoenix to secure the removal of she capital. and report has been spread abroad that the thunIbscrews and gyres have been applied to Assemblyman Smith to make him forego the pleasure of intro ducing his freight and fare bill. It is feared that such bill will antagonize the railroads and the capital will not be put CD wheels to boom Maricopa county. The watchword is, ''get the capital and cinch the railroads later" Under all the circum- stances join with "Annexor'' and will, when the time comes for action, do all in uy power to bring about 30 glorious con- sa4aztion.

rho new Bonanza.

The HeraH publishes a letter from H. E. Harris, the well known mining superintendent of Centennial from which we take the following extracts:
 ''The new discoveries are turning out full as we'll as at first reported, marvellous as it may seem. There IS no longer a lingering doubt that there is a wonderful new bonanza unearthed. Even Los Angeles has become excited about it and miners are beginning to arrive from all directions. Within the next week the travel out that way will probably turn into a regular stampede. Several loads of provis- ions are already on the way, and ev- erything looks as though Tombstone was to be repeated on a huge scale. If the splendid output which has been recently made continues it will be the richest thing ever uncovered, not ex- cepting the big bonanza on the Com stock lode at Virginia City. There is every prospect of a booming mining town at that point.
 "The Centennial district has other excellent mines in it, and t6at whole country will rapidly develop into one of the most extensive and richest mining regions in Arizona"

A sorghum sugar company has been formed with a capital of a mil lion dollars, to build a sugar factory at Topeka, Kansas. It will work the cane from 5000 acres of land, or 30,O00 tons of cane next fall. It will also work the cane from 1,20O acres, or 12,O00 tons of cane, at Fort Scott. A sugar factory is now building at Conway Springs, which will have 1,000 acres of cane. An other at Douglas will also have 1000 acres. Besides these large works there are many small syrup works, and many thousand acres of sorghum are planted for forage pur- poses. Last year 30,000 acres of sorghum were planted i'll ten of the recently organized and most thinly settled counties of Kansas. It is probable that many new sorghum sugar factories will be built next year in that state, because farmers are anxious to grow cane to sell to sugar factories at $50 per ton. The successful growing of sorghum in this county has been proven be- yond dispute, and will soon be util- ized as is done in Kansas.

The Mohawk Canal.

Nr c. E. Stevens, recently from the Mohawk canal, now owned by Go. Woodwork, of St. Louis, Mo. was in the city last night. He reports that all doubts concerning the success of thls canal have been dispelled by the work and experiments already made. He is thorouhly posted as to the prospects of this enterprise and pronounces it a grand success beyond question. The success of the South Gila canal is also already assured and it is being pushed ahead with vim and will open to cultivation large body of fine land in that section. Both of these canals are located in a fine citrus belt that will produce equal to any section of Arizona, and the time is near at hand when it will be in high state of cultivation and oc- cupied by prosperous farmers and fruit growers.-Oitizen.

Are we to Have Another War7

Some political prophets aver that we shall. Be that as it may, the battle waged by medical science against disease will never cease until we arrive at that utopian epoch when the human family shall cease to be afflicted with bodily ailr1ents. One of the most potent weapons which the armory of medicine furnishes is Hostetter's Ctom- ach Bitters, which is of special utility az a family remedy, as it is adapted to the i'm mediate relief and ultimate cure of those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, which are of commonest occurrence. Indi- gestion, biiousness and constipation are in- separable companions, and these ailments are completely eradicated by the Bitters. But the remedial scope of this superlativel wholesome and genial medicine takes in also nervous ailments, rheumatism and kid ney troubles; its action in these, as in the other complaints, being characterized by uneqnaled thoroughness.

 I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. It tones and invigorates the system, regu-- lates the action of the digestive and assimilative organs, and vitalizes the blood.

A SERMON TO PARENTs.
How Children Are Made imperfect Physi.
cally and MentaIlv.


A child comes into the world as the
great preparatory field from which it
is very soon to emerge into the bound
less beyond. 1t is taken from the
womb and thrown into cradle. 1t is
doped and dosed with something to
deaden it to sleep and stagnate its
blood. 1t is denied fresh air, pure
water that goes to help make pure
physical system. 1t is left unfed hours
upon hours when its stomach is empty
and its physical system is worried by
want. 1t is neglected when it wants
food, water or care. 1t is helpless in
the hands of those who torment it
with pins, bandages, yanks, jerks,
sharp words and fault-fnding, till the
growing mind finds itself in hell in
stead of Heaven.
AS the childs grows on in years, its
mind, ever on the alert, as it seeks for
information of some kind. it detects its
parents in hundreds of petty falsehoods
and learns to lie. 1t experiences
cruelty and becomes cruel 1t is
abused and learns to abuse in return.
1t is cuffed, slapped, kicked. yanked,
jawed, scolded, worried and hung upon
the outer walls as trash, when it is the
only thing on the place that is to ac-
company its parents into the beautiful
beyond. 1t listens to profanity and
vulgarity, and becomes vulgar and
profane. 1t is lied to in all manners
of direct and indirect ways by its
parents, and thus learns to consider
falsehood as pleasure or necessity, or
both. 1t is not turned to the beauti
full, as is the work of the glassmakers,
but is left to get up and out of darkness
as best it can. It is fed with food that
does not nourish, and its body becomes
the home of ailment, malady and dis
ease. Then, when it has headache,
a stomach-ache, a blind eye, a de-
formed foot, blemish, or weak,
deformed spot, it is taught that God
made it so, when God never yet made
an imperfect human being. Every
physical imperfection is the protest of
nature against ignorance, carelessness
and Indifference to results.
Every mentally-imperfect child is
the result of the carelessness and neg
lect of its parents and the public.
Impure food, deleterious fluids, i'm
proper care, lack of paternal love,
pernicious reading matter that distils
dirt into the young mind all injure
and unfit it for the future. Men have
no business to have land. horses, cat
tie, wives or children until they can
properly care for what they have, and
the most valuable of all they have is
their children. Why is it that we do
not all try to treat them and their
mentalities in a proper manner? Good
father and good mother, is not child
better than horse, a COW, hog or a

AN ARISTOCRATIC TOM.

He Covers Himself with Sheets in His Bed
and Eats at Table.
When people search for cats in the
dead of night beneath the spluttering
electric lights of the thoroughfares it
is usually with vengeance and club,
but such was not the case with Mrs.
Morgan, of Fourth avenue, near
Twenty-eight street, the other night.
She had lost a pet tabby and was al
most inconsolable. Besides advertis-
ing that she would pay liberal re-
ward for its return, she passed a large
portion of the night searching for her
pet among the vagrant street felines
which roam in darkness. Her search
was fruitless, but at daybreak the
wicked animal voluntarily returned
and "meowed" for admittance at the
front door.
81 wouldn't take 800 for him." said
Mrs Moran. Then she brought him
in for inspection. He was lying asleep
in tiny bed which had been con-
structed for his especial benefit between
snowy sheets, with his head upon a
pillow and an embroidered blanket
tucked carefully about his chin. He
was evidently accustomed to these
comforts, for he lay browsing in a
languid manner like well-conducted
cat of refined and luxurious tastes.
About his neck was silver collar en-
graved with . his name, ''Tomm.
Moran" and bearing two tiny bells
"He's the most intelligent cat in the
world" said Mrs. Moran. 'tHe under
stands every thing 1 say to him and
eats at the table with the rest of us.
When he is tired he gets into his bed,
crawls between the sheets and covers
himself up without any assistance. L
don't believe there's another cat in the
city that could do it. I've had him
since he was little kitten. / can not
understand how he came to run away.
Ordinarily he won't associate with
common cats in the street. IN. Y.

Mirrors That Will Make Their Faces Look

'It is true" saiG dealer in mir
rors, ''that none of us know exactly
what manner of men we are. The
mirror does not enable us to see our
outer selves as others see us. Only
the finest mirrors approach perfection

plate glass, but if you happen to look
into large mirror you discover that
the straight lines and right angles of a
room appear all awry. The reflection
most nearly true to the object reflected
is obtained perhaps from a hand mir
ror made of plate glass or from me-
talic mirror of moderate size.
"Great pains are taken to insure a
true surface in plate glass, but few

Here is a mirror that illustrates
what have said," continued the deal
er, taking down circular glass in
closed in stout frame, which was pro-
vided with a handle. The listener,
looking in, beheld an odd distortion of
his own features. One eye appeared
higher than the other, one cheek
bulged as if swollen with tOothache
and the whole countenance was carica-
tured.
Look steadily for a minute" said
the dealer, and he began to turn the
mirror slowly. AS he did so the feat
ures reflected engaged in a sort of
kaleidoscope dance. For no two Sec
onds was the face the same. While
this was going on the eyes of the gazer
felt as if they were being twisted out
of their sockets, and before the mirror
had made a full revolution the per-
formance had become very painful.
''Feels odd, doesn't itP" said the
dealer. 'tNow, that mirror is a scien-
tific toy. Its surface is cast purposely
in several planes. One eye is reflected
in one plane, the other in different
one, and the bulging cheek in still an
other. The pain to the eye was caused
by the effort to adjust the vision to the
constant change of plane presented by
the revolution of the mirror. IN. Y.
