trimmings. 1t is locked and has not been
opened for ten years. Few know its his
tory, which is one full of romance and also
of food for reflection for those Oh whom the
marriage yoke bears heavily.
little over ten years ago the occupants
of this home were married. The wife had
been brought up in n luxurious home and
was member of gay social circles. The
husband was equally rich in worldly pos
sessions, but with no liking for the round
of society's pleasures. His young bachelor
hood had been passed in independent club
life and the sober enjoyment of his books
and pictures, for which he had II strong
taste. The honeymoon was barely over
before n speck of discomfort appeared on
the horizon Of their lives. 1t grew rapidly
and soon obscurcd the sun of their welded
happiness. They mutually frettcd under
the strain of the marriage bonds. He dis

WATCH HIND Remover.

Among the recent patents intended for
a limited section OF the community is a
watch hand remover for watch making
work. Two metallic strips are compressed
and nip the watch hand, while pin is
pressed down on the centerpost of the
watch, and slight relaxation of the hand
lifts the watch hand off the post. This
device prevents all danger of cracking the
dials, breaking the centerpost and losing
the watch hands, and however tight the
hands are fastened they are readily re.

To Mine the Grand Canyon.

Right on the heels of the article
 which recently appeared in the
 JOURNAL MINER, in regard to ricll
 mineral strike which was recently
 m2de near the Grand Canyon, comes
 the following from the Phenix Her aid:
 The Colorado Grand Canyon Min
 ing X Improvement company has just been organized in the Centennial state with So00,OGO capital.
 The object of the company is to operate the mines along the canyon that were located by the R. B. stan ton expedition. There have been men working these mines on small scale ever since they were located, and they report the prospect as be- ing very encouraging.
 In addition to operating these claims they propose locating many new ones. In side canyon, the ex- act location of which they do not care to give, Harry Macdonald. who was member of the Stanton party. located claim which runs S3.oOO to the ton. Ii is almost inaccessible at at the present time, but will be thoroughly developed as soon as rail road communications are secured.
 A party will spend about a year in the canyon, reaching it from Green river station, Utah. by two boats built in Chicago expressly for this work. The boats are steel shod and carry 3,aOO pounds. besides four men. They cost Sl.000.
 The canyon. as is we'll known. is almost completely inaccessible. but the company know of a pathway into the canyon near the immense cave, which Stanton discovered. and an other where the old hahitations of the Cliff Dwellers are located. At the point where the cave is located is tract of land lying in the bottom of the canyon, embracing about loo acres. The company has secured the 1 proprietorship of this land and pur pose converting it into town site IS soon as the proposed railroad is ! built.
 Another interesting feature of the 1 ,anyon is the Cliff Dwellers' resi- 1 fences, which are filed with relics O the value of a million of dollars. t is the intention to load the boats with 5000 pounds of these relics.
 The Rio Grande Western railroad 'fters Sl0o,Oo0 if the party can find uitable passage into the canyon rom the west side.
 Each one of the party will be re- 'ired to wear a life-preseryer, al- hough 1t is almost impossible to apsize the boats. Each will be teered by men who performed the 'me work for the Stanton party. This preliminary expedition is ex- ected to cost $l5,OOO.

The action of the telegraph com
 pany in charging full commercial rates to this paper for a press reisort is generally commented on unfavor. ably by this community. The JouRNAL- MINrR in giving the rates charged did an injustice to the West ern Union Telegraph company, as it stated that the latter company had charged Si.7S for the transmission of two days report from Los Angeles to Prescott Junction, distance of about 700 miles, and the local line had charged S5.5i, making a total charge of $l0.32 for fhe two days service of an average of 126 words each day. Instead of the Western Union charges having been Si.7S as stated We have since learned detin- itely that they were S2.53. making the local charges S7.69. In other words the transmission of 253 words over the Western Union lines. nearly 700 miles, cost S2.53. and over the P. X. x C. line, seventy-twu miles. $7 .6q

the agricultural products of the south, will alone pay all operating expenses of the road. We do not believe that this statement is an ex- aggerated one at all. Besides this thare are mountains almost of ore that in any country but Arizona would be called high grade. but which are valueless here on account of remoteness from railroad com munication. These properties with direct railroad communication would be opened up and would furnish an immense traffic for the road by the shipment of machinery in and the shipment of their product out. It would put the entire Salt river val ley in direct communication with the east over this road, while the latter would become an active com petitor for the California trade of that section also. It would aid in the development of the territory in various other ways which would ere ate traffic and business for the road. In view of all this, which is by no means overstated, is it any wonder the gentleman quoted above made the statement that he did, while the one made by Mir. Vinton was simply the yoicing of his own ignorance based on the exaggerated opinion which obtains in some portions of the east in regard to Arizona.
 Now, may it not we'll be asked. why has Mir. Bullock and his friends inaugurated this war of misrepre- sentstion against this proposed rail way. If Arizona does not need this road why did Mir. Bullock repeat so often that he would build itl Are the people of Phenix and Prescott. and is the territory of Arizona to be forever kept in thralldom, subject to the whim of Mir Bullockl The dog in the manager policy, which has been pursued by him during the five years that he has held the key of the railroad situation here. has retarded the growth and development of the territory, and yet he is fighting to keep this policy in force and effect and Is backed up by few. whose in terests it would seem lie in diircr- ent direction.

Ohio. Mex, Governor.

The largest and most enthusiastic political meeting that ever assem- bled in the state of Ono met the other day in Columbus, to nomi- nate the next governor of that state. The meeting proper was that of the republican convention, but was by no means confined to the delegates elected to represent the republican party of the state. Citizens gath cred there from ali portions of the state and the meeting pariook of the nature of an enthusiastic political love-feas; and nominating convention combined. The assembled masses delegates and citizens, all seemed to bc of one mind in regard to the nom- ination for governor, and the man of their choice was Major Mckinley, whose name is now a household word throughout tbc entire country Previous to his nomination, Major Mckinley was called on to address the meeting, and during his address he said:
 ''l congratulate you, tonight, that the Republican party of to- day, like the Republican party of the past, is right npon every ques- ton concerning the welfare of the American people; it Is right upon every one, and l care not upon what issue you make, whether it be sound currency for the American people. protective tariff to promote Ameri- can indust ries. liberal pensions, or whatever it be, the Republican party leads to-day, as it has always led, the advanced thought of the American people, and the Republi- can party tonight can look forward with hope and exultation. have witnessed to-day tho largest assem- blaze of Ohio republicans that ever met in the State. Their earnest and enthusiastic faces indicate that they mean business and a Republican vie tory m Ohio. want to say to you tonight that We have not waged political battle for twenty-five wears traught with greater importance shan this years. lt means every thing to tho Republic, because it means everything to the Republican party, which Is closely related to the welfare of the Republic"
 Maj. Mckinley then went on to eulogizc Speaker Reed, the work of the last Congress, etc, and, speaking of the threat of the Democrats that they are going to repeal the tariff bill, he said
 They dare not touch one line of II, as every line of it is American. They may try it, but you will have II on your statute books when YOU boys of II shall be Fl and ready to vote. Prolonged applause You have not heard word about Me hinley prices since last election. All l ask of Ohioans is that every man write on his ballot what he thinks, and if he will do that there will be no end to the Republican majority in Ohio"
 Ex-Gov. Forsker spoke enthusi- asticslly of the coming Republican success in Ohio.

EX-Governor saaord Explains.

A short time since an Arizona pa
 Der in defending the action of the last legislature, in voting an appro- priation of the public money for the support of sectarian schools, quoted ex-Governor Stafford as having once supported a similar proposition. The following card from this gentleman, published recently in the Florence Enterprise, fully explains his action:
 PARTON SaRINGs, Fla. May 3Oth, lS9l.-Editor Enterprise: I noticed all article in an Arizona paper criti- icising Gov. Irwin for not signing a bill to appropriate several thousand dollars for the support of the St. Joseph academy at Tucson; the same article referred to me as favoring such appropriations when was gov ernor. It is true 1 did sign an ap- propristion of few hundred dollars for that purpose, but at that time there were no public schools m, the territory and 1t was represented to me that the children in that school needed school books and were unable to pay for them, and as the territory was not prepared to educate its own children l concluded it was but fair to consent to this small appropria- ton.
 l am in favor of an effort to en- tighten the rising generation whether by Jew, Gentle, Catholic or Protest ant, but under our form of govern ment l consider it absolutely neces- sary that the masses shall at least receive a common school education. To accomplish this the schools should be absolutely non-sectarian so that all children can attend, no matter what may be the creed of the i parents, upon ali equal footing. and ! without in the least interfering with i their religious training. To accom- plish this grand object under no pre- | text should the public funds be di- serted to the maintenance of sectar- ian schools. If it is done once a dangerous precedent is established, if 1t is done for one sect there is no Deoson why it should not be done for mother. But, some may say, you lid establish the precedent. l have acknowledged the fact and have yiyen my reasons; if they are not con ldered sufficient it must be ad- nitted to err is human and l have ever pretendcd to be infallible.
