QUAIL GALORE.
A Sportsman's Paradise Near Yuma In
Arizona.

A Sportsman's Paradise Near Yuma in
Arizona.
There surely will be an exodus from
some sections of the world to take up it's
line of march for the Mohawk valley in
Yuma county. (The children of Israel
were at one time fed by the number of
quails that focked around them and
mamma from heaven.) If they were in
Mohawk valley today they could do
equally as well. The quail literally
cover the ground and can be caught by
hand. Those who are profiting by
catching them and shipping to San
Francisco catch more than they can
bag. Hundreds of dozens are shipped
daily by express. They have used
up all their lumber for boxes and have
about used all the barley sacks in the
county shipping them in that manner.
The children make from 81 to $40 a day
catching them and their numbers do not
seem to diminish. Similar reports of
their numbers come from Aqua Calente
and Gila Bend, and their slaughter goes
daily along. You fun-loving sportamen,
the world over, if you want to have a
genuine good time shooting quail now is
the time to get pleasure.
There are millions upon millions of
them, and no let up to their numbers.
When a band is routed, the sound of
their wings is simply deafening, resemb-
ling distant thunder roll. There is no
telling what Yuma climate will not
produce

The San Isidro Iron LOdes.

Capt. W. H. Rodda arrived from En-
senada yesterday, says the San Diego
Union, and left in the afternoon tor his
home in San Francisco, where he will
spend the holidays. Captain Rodda
has resigned his position as superinten-
dent OF the Princess company at Alamo,
and has become interested in several
large iron lodes near San Isidro, with
United States Vice, Consul Godbe and
Don Manuel Gonzales. The lodes are
located in the same district as the Te-
pustete properties, which were recently
sold by Gen. W. E. Webb to an Oregon
syndicate. Captain Rodda while in the
north will endeavor to interest capital
in these immense properties, which
must be developed on large scale.
Some of the ledges located are so feet
wide, and the quality of ore, as deter
mined from samples sent from the Te-
pustete mines to Swansea, Wales, ia
pronounced to be frst-class. Captain
Rodda will visit Governor Torres at
Hermosilla, Sonora, after the holidays.

SANTA ANA, Dec. 25.-Old Santa Claus
had stormy time of it making his
visits to Santa Ana last night, for
heavy rainstorm was also visiting this
neighborhood. However, he got around
all right, for that fact is proven by the
happy faces of the children in this city
today. The children yes, bless their
dear little souls What numbers OF
them are here, too. Why the streets,
even on this rainy, sloppy day ,Mhave
been full OF them, and the old bachelors,
and maids, even, had to smile when
they contemplated the happiness OF the
little ones.
Speaking of old maids reminds us
that there are not few in this city, and
as but one week of grace yet remains
they will have to hurry up. Come,
girls, there are numbelless bachelors in
this city who lack the moral courage to
"pop the question:" and who will gladly
accept any advances made by you in the
matrimonial line.

mood, and the congregation became at
once in full sympathy with him. The
sermon was delivered i'll vigorous but
dignlfed style, and deeply interesting
throughout. Following is the text and
discourse:
There is neither Jew nor Greek; there
there is neither bond, nor free; there is
neither male nor female, For you are
all one in Christ Jesus. Gal. lii. %.
God sees in men souls-souls made to
his own image and likeness, born to i'm
mortality. All else in men is accidental,
transient, and enters not into the make
up of human dignity. The world had
sorelv departed from the truth in this
regard. Passion and pride had tempted
the strong to lift themselves upward
upon the ruins of the weak, and to con-
slider themselves beings apart. whose
own apart implied hatred and contempt
for others. The Greek viewed the peo-
pie of other countries as barbarians;;
the Roman had no respect for one who
bore not the title of citizen OF Rome,
and Greek and Roman held in dire
bondage over one-half the men who in
habited their own lands.
Christ came upon earth to regenerate
humanity and to save it from its errors.
He proclaimed the cardinal principle
that all men are children of the same
Father, redeemed by the same Savior.
and brothers in one family. There is
neither Jew, nor Greek; neither bond,
nor free. The sublime utterances of
Christ's religion on the dignity of hu-
man nature and the unity of mankind,
prove its divine origin. In the name OF
Christ we assemble today. For us there
is neither Jew, nor Greek; neither bond,
nor free. We are all children of the

ANOTHER WARPLAY.
"Across the Potomac" Enjoyed by
a Good Audience.

ACROSS the Potomac" Enjoyed by
Good Audience.
The war play, ACROSS the Potomac"
was presented to large audience at the
Metropolitan last evening. 1t is good
play, though not up to the standard of
either Shenandoah" or Held by the
Enemy" But it tells the old, familiar
and exciting tale of the war in good
style, and the strongly-drawn characters
are taken by capable players. The
strongest feature of the play is the de-
pictlon of the horror of civil war, in the
arraying against each other Of friend
and brother, and about it all is woven
an interesting story of both love and
villainy. There is nothing of partisan
character in the play, and North and
South may equally enjoy or shudder at
its Incidents The cast is an exception
ally good one ana the players tit the
parts to a nicely. The special scenery
IS all good and the play goes off smoothly
and satisfactorily. After each act the
pleased audience called before the cur
tain all who had made the closing scene
enjoyable. Across the Potomac" will
be given all week with the usual mat
