THE unemployed workingmen of San Francisco have sent out the fol- lowing circular: "To Workingmen of every trade and calling Do not be deceived by false reports. The city of San Francisco is crowded with idle men. There are thousands of us tramping the streets hungry, hopeless and destitute. For Gods sake keep away from this city. Ad- vertisements for laborers, sailors and mechanics are false. Place DO faith in them; there are ten men here for every job now."

SENATOR TELLER has been in the southern part of the Territory and while in Tucson was interviewed by the Citizen as to Arizona's chances of statehood at the next session of Congress. He stated positively that Arizona would be admitted, and that if any effort should be made, which he did not expect, on the part of anti-silver members to keep out the territories on the ground that the new senators would be free coin age men, it would surely be defeat ed, as there are a sufficient number of members in both branches of Congress who favor admission to pass the bill. He added that as there will be an extra session in September which is very likely to be extended into the regular winter term of December, it is extremely probable that Arizona will be state before this year is oyer. The posi- tiveness with which the Senator spoke was an agreeable surprise to his hearers.

THE proposition of the Indian department to establish another h. dian reservation in western Pima is meeting with strong protests from the stockmen and ranchers living within the section of country em- braced within the proposed reserva- ton says the Star. They have pre- pared protest which will be sent forward to the Indian department against the establishment of the proposed reservation, which will no doubt serve in defeating the propo- sition, as otherwise a number of stockmen and other citizens would be seriously damaged. The gov ernment certainly ought to give as much protection to it's taxpaying citizens as to it's Indian wards.

The outlook for hay and grain, which a moth ago was anything but encouraging, is now decidedly flat tering. Some of the farmers tell us that while some fields will yield on- ly a fair hay crop much of the grain will be excellent. A month ago the prospect was that there would be nothing. As a rule, however, the generous idosyncracies of our Ari- zona climate vouchsafe to the hus- bandman both seed time and har- vest.-Free Press.

"liow many of these three million.
bachelors are single from choice rather
than necessity"
The factors affecting the ability to
support wife have been very much
changed under the newer industrial
and commercial condition. So great
has become the competition for places
among the higher pursuits, and so large
ly have women come to fill positions
once exclusively occupied by men, that
the bureaus of industrial statistics
show larger and larger percentage of
men in these pursuits whose incomes,
from their point of view, will not per-
init them to marry.
1t is easy to scold the young men in
this matter-quite as easy to find fault
with the young women who are look
ing out for husbands with plenty of
ready money. But there is nothing in
the published census figures regarding
the average earnings of certain classes
of workers which at all warrants the
conclusion that the majority of these
three million unmarried men remain
single through willfulness rather than

The Walker Estate.

p. B. McCsbe has gone to Los
Angeles, CAL, to file suit in the courts
in that state for Juana Walker. Con-
siderable property belonging to the
Walker estate is In California. In the
banks Of Los Angeles ST. 900 awaits
the disposition of the courts. 1t is
thought that filing the findings of the
probate court in Florence will probably
be all that is necessary to establish the
girls claim as the only point at issue is
whether Juana is the daughter OF John
ID. Walker, and that fact was establish.
ed by the recent jury trial. The Walker
brothers have been trying to com.
promise with the Pima girl by giving
her the Arizona property end they re-
tain that in California. She has so far
refused to take anything short of the
entire estate.

RELIGION AT GOLDFIELD.
A Saloon Keeper Divides Time
With a Minister.
Devout Services In Which Rugged
Miners Joined With Spirit
and Earnestness.

One by one the Superstition camp
takes on the embellshmenments Of
civilization and every day sees several
new domicils erected. Goldfeld now
has twenty-nine houses used either for
business purposes or residences. The
mill is buildidg and will before many
weeks be in running order. A second
mill Is in contemplation by private
parties, who will erect and run 1t for
custom work.
While business is being pushed
energetically. the morals of the camp
are looked after also.
Rev. Clarke, a local divine OF the
local Christian persuasion, preach
cd on Sunday night in one OF
the leading saloons of the camp,
and fifty people including several
ladies listened to the eloquent
sermon preached from text which re-
climbed a Sycamore tree to get good
view of the Savior as he passed by.
Many old hardened sinners who had
not heard sermon in twenty years
were present, prominent among which
were Tex, Tennessee and Barnum,
three toughs well-known throughout
Central Arizona, as men OF the old time
proclivities for blowing in quite sud
denly after each pay day. The music
for attendance services was not of the
classical style; the choir consisted Of
the entire congregation and what was
lacking in quality was made up in
volume as the sturdy prospectors took
great pride in lending what feeble as
sistance they could in making the
service Impressive, While services
were in progress, the bar was closed
and through respect for the minister,
who had been invited to occupy the
improyised pulpit, it was not opened
again that night, Beneath the ragged
jackets OF these pioneers there still
Turks a feeling OF respect for the re-
ligion of their mothers and the grizzled
features of some of the old timers the
moistened eye and the stained cheek

THREE MILLION BACHELORS.
That's What the Census Shows and It's
Time Some Repented.

That's What the Census Shows and It's
Time Some Repented.
According to the last census reports
there are over three million bachelors
in the United States, by which is
meant there are three million men
over thirty years old who have never
been married.
This fact, of course, furnishes very
handy text for all sorts of comment
and suggestion. Now and then the
scheme is advocated of making neglect
OF matrimony statutory offense,
either by way of tax discrimination in
favor of married parties or otherwise.
In earlier times, says the Boston
Globe, marriage was mpulsory. The
great world conquerors wanted mate
rial for their armies, and so heavy PEN
alties were laid ON neglect to marry.
One interesting question which the
census figures do not answer is this:

Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn, in an
interview with representative of the
New York Times few days ago on the
money question, expressed the belief
that the time has come when an Ameri-
can system of finances should be estab-
llshed; that this nation is strong enough
and powerful enough to put in force its
own ideas On monetary affairs, and the
first step to be taken in this direction
should be TO make silver money the stand
ard of the nation. In support Of this
proposition Mr.. Osborne cites the fact
that it is acknowledged by all that there
is not gold enough in the world to do its
business, and since the leading European
countries have established the gold
standard and are steadily drawing from
America its gold, with no way OF stop
ping it for some time, he would let it go,
and declare silver the money of the
nation, making it the single standard,
and let the old world have the yellow
metal.
