- WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The division of
ital statistics of the census office has
repaired a bulletin containing sum-
mary of the results OF the special in
quiry concerning the Jews in this coun-
try. The inquiry resulted in the return
of 1858 completed family schedules,
embracing 60,630 living persons ON the
31st day of December, 1889, and in these
families there had been 2l4S marriages,
6O3S births and 2062 deaths, during the
five years ending with that date. The
social condition of the families is indi-
Gated to some extent by the number of
servants kept by them, and as
about two-thirds are reported as
keeping one or more servants, the fam

NOVEL BURGLARY.
Opening Combination Lock by Sense of
 Touch.

A Chicago telegram of October 14th says: A safe opening test which, in sen sational accompaniments, discounts the wonderful feat of Johnstone, the mind reader, took place in the Hotel Wayne early this morning.
 The operator was Henry E. Adams, a young man from Minneapolis, who came to Chicago some weeks ago and took rooms at the Wayne There he be- came acquainted with a young man who, although Adams did not know this, was a cousin of the proprietor.
 Within the past few days Adams pro- posed to him to rob the hotel safe. He was to get up at o'clock in the morning and of this, the hotel proprietor was ad- yised by his cousin, who at the same time, pretended to be an accomplice in Adams plot.
 Two detectives were hidden in the office last night and this morning at the appointed time Adams came in. The wondering officers watched him, without tools or explosives, prepare to open the massive safe, although itwas evident he did not know the combination. He pared the nail of the index finger of his right hand until the blood vessels were exposed Then, by placing the sensitive wound on the knob of the combination lock he could distinguish the movement of the tumblers as they fell.
 For an hour he worked while the de- tectiv9s scarcely dared breathe. At last there was sharp click and Adams swung back the door. With a sigh of relief he reached into the safe and laid his hands on a package of bills But to his discontinue, the officers stepped for ward at the same moment and placed him under arrest.

 rbo sola,, n iridium in honor of the hlaosed Patar Louis Marie Chanel, the nrofo n1Ti9e ,martyr ot Oceanica, closed last piobt at tbe Chm oh of Notre Dame des V;cto;res The san ,e glowing tributes and snlendid ceremo,. >ies which marked the opening of the three days services characterized the end. O. 'owds of wor- shipers were in attendance at the morn ing masses, which ended with ne p0ntln- cal high mass, celebrated in all ils elapor- ate ceremonial by the Right Rev. DISH op Bourgade, Vicar Apostolic Of AT zona. The sermon. which took its motlye and coloring from the suggestive subJ1ct of the iridium, was delivered 1n frencH by Rev. Father Jocquet. $. J.
 At o'clock the rosary opened the con cluding exercises The oratorio cantata composed by Rev. J. M. Gavin was ren- dered in brilliant style. From the trlum- phal chorus of the prelude winch cele- brated the growing of the martyr In heaven, through the sweet, plaintive notes of the pastoral which recalled in exquisite melody the events of his early life and became the typical air of the compost tion; through the vague, subdued notes ! which foreshadowad the priests fate, the Instrumentation was perfect. Through | out every pudSe Ol tuo uclO1C IHOhAO onO | dramatic effect of the orchestration was striking. The passion of the martyrs life ! was translated in a splendid symphony; l the pathos of his career well portrayed in the recurrence of the same charming 1 lyric
 The eulogy was by Bishop Bourgade, who reviewed ill detail the career of Chanel from his early and pure life in the little hamlet of Cuet to his murder at the hands of the savages on one of the dis tant isles of the southern seas. He told of the marty's heroic design to carry the mission of bis Master to barbaric lands, of the terrors of the ocean voyage, and difficulties and obstacles which met the priest in his new and arduous duties. He recounted the triumph which finally was won through the sacrifice and death of the missionary. He closed with an elo- quent plea to the congregation to emulate { the martyr in his devotion and steadfast purpose to the cause of the Master. The benediction and Te Deum finished the | significant and long sustained ecclesiastic 1 tribute

After Many Years.

Major Pauline Fryer was in Florence last week after an extended visit to her former home at Grand Rapids, Michigan. She found many changes there which she describes as follows:
 After an absence of nearly thirty years I have returned to my old home, Grand Rapids.
 The changes are extraordinary and ap- pear to me like the work of magician. Most people are posted as to the wonder full growth of Chicago, which lies on the opposite shore of Lake Michigan, and it will be sufficient to say that Grand Rap ids and MuskegOn have kept pace with that city.
 Grand Rapids is beautifully situated in the valley of Grand river about thirty miles from where it embouches into Lake Michigan. In 1849 it was pretty town of 5000 or 4,000 Its inhabitants justly claimed 1t to be one of the handsomest cities in the United States. Its princi- pal industry Is the manufacture of furni- ture, for which many factories are in op- eration, many of them immense in size. Along the course of the Grand river were formerly located hundreds of saw mills, but as the pine has been cut off these have decreased, there are very few work ing probably dozen; and this Is the last year in which saw logs and lumber are to be run on Grand river everything in the way of pine that would cut f. inch board having made its last journey down this stream.
 Muskegon lies about 30 miles north of Grand Rapids, with which it is connected by two railways. This place has for many years enjoyed the title of the em- porium for the lumber trade, and occu- pies about the best site that have seen anywhere.
 Muskegon and Mona lakes are beautiful sheets of transparent water about about three three or four miles apart and five or six miles long and a mile wide, opening into lake Michigan. Between them on the shore of Muskegon lake, lies the beau tiful city of Muskegon. Eventually it will become city bounded by lakes on three sides, the new electric car being al ready in operation to the bank of lake Michigan, and such lakes! Noma lake, filled with fish such as pickerel and black bass, and having shores twenty feet above the water level, which are rapidly being taken for villa sites. It is perfect sani- tarium.
 Strawberries, grapes and other fruits are so plentiful that oftimes the prices do not pay to send the surplus to Chicago. A few of these luxuries with our Arizona climate would make it paradise
 Mrs. Fryer has returned to Casa Gran de where she will reside in the future.

LIVE STOCK CENSUS.
Difficulties Experienced by Census Bu- reau OmciaI-Character of the Sta tistics Collected from
 StOckman.
Phenix Republican


 D. Fl. Recarte, special agent of the cen sus department, returned to Phenix Mon day from an extended trip through south ern California in his official capacity.
 In an interview with the gentleman the Republican reporter learned the follow ing interesting facts relating to the du- tles1 of the enumerator.
 While absent he collected statistics from the counties of Ventura, Santa Bar bara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Bemto, Fresno, Tulare, Kern, Los Ange- les, Orange, San Diego and San Bernar- dino. The work comprehended com plete enumeration of cattle, horses, sheep, and swine of the counties mentioned as well as a review of the live stock indus try and agricultural resources, the profits Of the business, the wool clip, the mortal lty of stock in the years 1899-90, also value of cattle sold in those years and the number of cattle killed by storms. He also makes collection of data from stock and agricultural associations that may interest the public and form statistical record.
 It IS an extensive work and naturally there are many obstacles met with which would deter man of less aggressiveness of character than Mir. Recarte Many farmers are reluctant to give the correct reports, fearing that theymay suffer from it.
 Among some of the questions on the list are as to the expense of producing a bullock for the market, three and one half years old, and as to the benefits of grading up and crossing cattle
 A pertinent point is made as to foreign CTS in the business It is found that the French, Basque, Italians and Swiss pre- dominate in the districts he has visited.
 The Durham and Devon stock are pre- ferred on the range in California. They are the most profitable for the beef mar ket and are adapted to the climate.
 The reports of the different special agents are elaborate and when compiled are issued by the government to the peo- pie. The virtue of the great plan can be appreciated by everyone. From the sta- tistics farmers can judge as to the kind of stock, fruit and vegetables best adapt ed to the different sections of country, and can proceed to those industries most profitable. Labor, money and years of time are saved to the people by this wise scheme.
 It can be readily seen, too. how great the importance of appointing competent men in such capacities.
 MT. Recarte, having been lately as- signed also to the northern district eff Cal ifornia for enumeration, will occupy about three months in completing his work in California, after which he will re- turn to Phenix. The work of the stock census in northern Arizona he has turned over to J. J. Chatham, enumerator for the southern district

OUR PROGRESS.
A Profitable and a Prosperous Year in
 Arizona.
Phenix Gazette.

This week just closed has been busy one, and lively one in Phenix. The Ter ritorial Fair brought many visitors to the capital during last week, and as they represent all the walks of life, incident to Arizona, splendid opportunity was afford ed to acquire information in regard to the progress that goes to make up and sus- tain body polite.
 Every one with whom we conversed seemed highly pleased, in regard to the present progress, and future outlook, of our fair commonwealth. Very favorable circumstances have combined to make this profitable, and prosperous year, for all the mountain country, and Ari- zona in particular. The great industries which are the foundation of our business life, mining, stock raising and agriculture have been most favorably dealt with dur ing the past year; hence our unwOnted prosperity With these, on solid basis and upward tendency, which now charac- terizes them, Arizonas future is assured. The great activity in mining matters in the mountains lately, has added greatly to the population of the mountain camps, and has created an increased demand there for the generous offerings to the valley,
 That mining has taken an onward and upward stride during the present season, is evidenced by the great activity in all the camps of the territory. as well as the eagerness displayed, for the requirement of Arizona mining property, by investors at home and abroad. The receipts in and the shipments out from this city of ore and bullion increase each month in a most satisfactory manner, and is sufficient proof not only of the old producers, but that new ore bodies are being opened up and added to the regular shippers at pleasingly short intervals.

Looking at the Country.
Tucson Star

Mr. J. Thomas the English expert and engineer in company with w. w. Trask leave to-day by stage down the Santa Cruz valley for Nogales. MT. J. J. Elan agan of Jersey City wrote to MT. Trask to show MT. Thomas as much as possible around this part of Arizona.
 MT Flanagan IS a contractor of much note and with whom MT. Trask has been and still is associated in some large rail road matters in the east. They go to Nogales by stage so that in the days ride they may see the bottom of this very rich farming country and the water advantages. MT. Trask is taking much pains to show to the English representa- tives the many worthy merits of Arizona.
 MT. Flanagan, MT. Trask's old partner, has the contract for furnishing the East river from the foot of Grand street, New York side, to 9th street, Brooklyn, which is to cost in round numbers $4, 4,O00, 900 and it now looks as though MT. Thomas would establish headquarters in New York city, where he will represent his London people and at the same time look after the engineering and construction of this great tunnel.
 MT. Thomas goes to San Francisco and then back to New York, where he will take letter to Col. John Weir. who is now in New York city, from MT. Trask, and we hope for Arizona a good result from associating together of these live and active gentlemen.

Arizona Weather
Mohaye Miner.


 The summer just passed was one of the pleasantest ever experienced in this part of Arizona. Do we ever stop to think of the advantages we enjoy in living in one of the very best climates in the world, equally removed from the cold winters of Flagstaff and the hot summers of the riy- CT country. Not that heat or cold has any bad influence on health in Arizona. The strongest proof of the salubrity of the climate of this Territory is afforded by the Colorado Basin. Here the ther- mometer sometimes rises to 13O in the shade. It is believed to be the hottest place in America, and there are few hot ter places in the world. Take the Need les, for example. The river rises and overhows the land on either side for many miles, and the receding water leaves ponds and sloughs. In any other coun- try such a condition of affairs, heat and moisture, would produce malaria, but there is none there. Of course, in so hot a climate some care is necessary. Nearly every man there drinks more or less whis- key, but the danger is that this creates a thirst for cold water which if indulged in immediately leads to bad results

Mining in Pima.


 c. T. Cornell, superintendent of the Saginaw mine is in the city. MT. Cornell reports that additional machinery will be put in the Saginaw, and after experi- ments with the ores of the mine in order to ascertain the kind of machinery need ed, it has been decided to use the Denver Gilt Edge concentrators The machin- cry is expected in about six weeks, and by the first of next year the mine and mill will be in running order, furnishing employment to 20 or 30 men.
 Dr. Peters who exported the Specula- tion mining property for the Nesting house company, its purchasers, reports that eight miners from Washington camp are now working in the mine, and that the ore taken out is even better than an ticipated. The purchasers are highly pleased with the property. The machin- cry has been ordered and will arrive by the time the new buildings now in course of erection are completed, which will be about the first of December

Lynx Creek Dam and Lake.
Prescott Courier

IrescOll OOuFlef.
 While meandering,over the hills, east oi Prescott, Courier correspondent found himself at DeWitt's station on Lynx Creek and being desirous of taking a look at the dam that is at present being erected near there he betook himself over the hill into what IS known by old timers in this section as Bigelow Flat.
 Here at the north end of the flat most substantial dam is being constructed by some thirty-fve men and from the differ ent material used the structure will stand for generations to come. The face of dam now, is some twenty five feet high; is laid with Portland cement, while internally around the various supports a plentiful supply of concrete is being dumped.
 Adjoining the dam site there is a plenti ful supply of granite. Portland cement, of course, IS shipped in while the lime is procured from the Black Hills across Lonesome Valley where the company own some kilns.
 The present intention of the company IS to build fifty foot dam, building it up to thirty-five feet this winter and then giving it short time to settle, and with fifty foot dam there will be formed as pretty and picturesquea lake of some one hundred and fifty acres as can be seen anywhere and should the fish commis- sioners stock the lake at the request of the owners, Prescott will then have a plentiful supply of fish right near.
 Ditch, too, that is at present being ex- cavated under the eagle eye of A. H. Swann, c. B. who has about sixty men strung out at intervals of one hundred feet apart will be ready for "biz" about the middle of November, and from the quiet and unostentatious way in which everything has progressed the general wish of the Lynx Checkers all around is that the ''clean ups" will be many and big for years to come.
 The company is an English one and a close corporation, at that The resident managing directors being Messrs. W. E. Pedley and T. Barton Menick, who we sincerely trust, have come to this country to stay, as they are both gentlemen that are acquisitions to any community in any country. RAMBLER

NOgales News.
Nogales Record.


 Several car loads of inch water piping passed south this week, consigned to the Minas Prietas company.
 Major Reed, of the St. Patrick mine and mill, returned from his home in New York last Monday. He will probably be in Nogales next week.
 Tom Casanega has resigned his position as custom inspector to accept a position on the Imuris railroad. Tom is to take charge of the entire construction. If hard work and good judgment counts, then Tom will give perfect satisfaction to the company.
 MT. Whitmore, one of the owners of the Omega mines, came in last Wednesday and left the next day for California. He reports that the mill was working splen- didly and turning out bullion. The suc- cess of the Omega mine is of vast impor- tance to Nogales.
 The registration of voters in Nogales closed last Tuesday night. PAT names are upon the list forwarded to the coun- ty recorder. Of course there will not be that number of votes cast, and it is this uncertainty as to the number that will vote that makes the election so uncertain. and consequently so interesting.
