ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
THE SISTER sERAPHINE.


Like ray Of sunny light,
Bsnishing the gloom Of night,
Comes the Sister seraphine--
Gliding In and out between
Long white rows OF beds, whore lie,
Moaning sufferers, such 40 I.
Ever robed In quiet gray.
Smiling in the sweetest way,
Gentle Sister seraphine
Has the loveliest face e'er seer.
And her words Of tender cheer
FAN like music on the ear.
In the night, when racked with pain.
Never have I called in vain.
Ere my faiatest moan has died.
Steals abe softly to my side,
And her very presence there
Makes the anguish light TO bear.
Little does she dream that I,
For her sake would gladly disi
That I kneel, as at shrine.
worshiping her, my saint divine
That my pain gladly bear,
Just 10 know her tender care.
It's no earthly love feel
In her presence. / must kneei
Rsversntly, with soul laid bare.
Ever breathing forth prayer,
Saying softly DER and Ger;
ANGELS guard thee evermore."

The dea'h of Mir. George R. Cri-. we'll announced in last Saturday. issue of the PRospEcToR caused feel ing of regret and sorrow to pervade the community in which he had lived 90 long and where he was so general! respected. His life had been one en- ergetic effort to better the condition of his iellowmen. He was a devoted hus"and, genial companion and an exemplary citizen. His loss is on. felt not only in the home circle, but among those who love the traits in the human character which stood ou, more prominently in his life. It was sorrowful procession which filed out of the church this afternoon and fol- lowed the remains to their last resi- ing place. It was last tribute of res. pect to an honest man and upright citizen.

Arizona Abroad.

Charley Meadow, the expert cowboy from Arizona who left with the Wild West show to visit Australia, says in a lettsr to the Republican:
 We gave our first Wild West enter tainment in conjuction with the circus in Auckland to an appreciative aud fence of 1000 people. A great deal of the wild American conceit was taken out of us by the fearless riding of tl e New Zealand young ladies who seem. ed to think it nothing to jump, while riding at full speed. stone walls, high fences and fallen trees. When the wild horses were turned into the arena and the lasso,ng was announced wild yell of "bravow went up from every throat, and whether we scored catch or a miss, we were applauded just the same. Although this is one of the leading stock countries of tie world, they had never seen the lasso thrown.

4 Serious Ma tier.

Four first class miners, John Allen,
 Vim. Hancock, Fred Sarah and Mar tin Brinton left Tombs one on Tues day last for the Imuris mines in Sono- ra, in response to an advertisement in the PRosPEcroR, calling for mine, . to do tunnel work at $50 per day American money. The standing of the company was of the best. Men who had been employed there always spoke of the company as being reliable and trustworthy. Upon the strength of this reputation the four men above mentioned went to the station, Cerrc- Blanco, and applied for work. Mr Seymour. the superintendent, was no, there, but they applied to the engineer, the book-keeper and the manager a' the saw-mill but all appeared ignorant of any desire on the part of tLe com pany to employ more men al d told them that the company had n" idea of employing more men. The men had no other resourse but to turn aroun l and come back. They arriv. d in Tombstone last night, having spent about 1925. each for fare to find tha, some one had blundered. The PRos- PEC1oR has taken hold of the mater and will investigate it thoroughly Time and again this paper has refus ed to take advertisements unless assur- ed of their reliable character aud q c one calling for men was sent by h. manager, MT. Seymour, with instru.- tions to let it run one month. l'le character of the company had always been above reproach. The case will be tried in the columns of this paper and judgment will be rendered in ,c cOrdance with the facts, after the evi
 ence is all in.

MINING NOTES.

Si Bryant is driving tunnel in on the Tom Scutt claim at Turqu"is. He expects to tap the ledge at about 200 feet. At tine present time he is not shipping any ore and will probably
 axe some action lnoking toward the erection of works at the mine. Dur ing the short period which he shipped he sent $a7 900 worth Q: ore to sn,-l- ters and received in return $22,OOO in coin. He concludes from business point of view that the ore is not losing its value in the mine and that he might as we'll have the cost of ship- ping and smelling.

The Peralua Grant.

4ne t.eratua Orants
 The Washington correspondent of ,he Globe Democrat has been ga her. ing some interesting information for that journal from which is gleametl the following facts relative to this claim:
 The Peralta claim involves some. thing like 4.OOO OO0 acres of land in Central Arizona, or its equivalent in money. The case is now before the Court of Claims under the Bowman act but it is said in the General Land office, where pretty close account of public land litigalionis kept, that it i. to he withdrawn from that tribunal And begun over again in the new cour- This great c,aim has now. like the McGarrahan clam, taken n form of demand by the decendants and as.
 ienees of Senor Don Miguel de Peralta
 le la Car.loba, a captain of dragons of the Spanish army, that the govern. ment shall award them $ll 100000 AR damages fl wing from its acts in open ing up the Hacienda de Peralta to ale and settlement. It dates back to l742 when the Spanish King deter. mined to reward the zralous Capt. Peralta with a grant of land compr,s. ing 300 square l-agues in the northern part of the vice royalty of new Spain. The claim has been declared frauiu- lent by the General Land Office and the commissioner refused to certify it to Congress; but it has strong back. ing and a great array of counsel who will doubtless make it much more famous case before it shall have been settled than it is even now. The chief attorney is exCongressman Phil ip B. Thompson of Kentucky and his associates are Freeman < Mercy Of Washington; Luther Harrison, Wash- ington Andrew Squire, Cleveland; F. H. Hurd. Toledo;W Bourke Cochran New York; James Br0adhead S.. Louis; Loyd & Wood and H l. Brown San Francisco.
 LA sANJA GRANT.
 Another case of more thau passing interest is that involved in Rancho san Rafael de la Sanja in Arizona, a grant by the Spanish crown in 1921 which is said to be owned and backed mainly by the Cameruns of Pennsyl- vania. The issue to be settlel illus trates a familiar exercise in the old mental arithmetic and involves simply the difference between four square leagues and four leagues square. The exact text upon which this interest," Ig and important litigation hangs is as follows;
 "CuartO sitios de terra para cria de ganada mayor, en el presto nomirad" de la Sanjo, cito en jurisdiction del mismo presidio."
 In 1880, Surveyor General Wasson decided that "cuarlo sitos para cria del genoda mayor" meant four square leagues and he so laid it off; but the claimants are not willing to be disposed of in that fashion, and they are now, aS they have been for many years, fighting for the larger area. An im- mense amount of collateral evileLce will be produced in the court 10 show that it was the Crown's intention to grant four leagues square.
