 Choir in Good Shape.

2 Mir. Moody, the noted evangelist, will arrive in the city this afternoon on Louis- vile and Nashville southbo train No. 8 at 3:12 o'clock, and may preach at the wigwam tonight.
 When he started on his trip to Birming- ham he teIegraphed Dr. Hale the time of his arrival, but was not sure whether he would feel we'll enough to preach that night. At any rate he will be in the wig wan at o'clock tonight, and if he does not preach will at least make talk to the congregation.
 His coming is looked upon with great expecta Ion, and there is possibility of 5000 or 6C00 people sembling in the wig wan tonight to listen to this great evan gelist speak.
 Everything is prepared and the people of Birmingham will give MT. Moody warm reception.
 The wIgwam is in excellent condition and the work of the choir, under the direction of Professor Towner, contin ues to improve.
 Dr. Gray preached last night upon the ''Reign of Sin and the Reign of Grace.''
 He began with the creation of man in the image of God and then mans fall. There WAS an Eden, but there is none now; man was innocent once, but not now, be- cause sin came and paradise was broken.
 The fact or Sin, he argued, Is reality and not myth; there is nothing more real than sin. The establish ment of this fact is from the scriptures, from observation and from the personal experiences of men.
 His view of this was that not only does observation and the Bible declare man sin ful, but that there never was man since the fall of Adam who was not conscious of his own sinfulness. This he demonstrated from the fact that every man worshiped some kind of 8 being.
 His definition of sin was that it is a want of conformity to Gods law, a rebellion against God. The extent of the reign of sin was in all hearts and every faculty of the soul.
 The effect of sims reign is frightfully de- scribe in death.
 His argument upon the reign of grace was that man is all wrong and that grace makes him right, and when new heart is placed within the spiritual man the curse Of sin is removed and the image of God re- stored. He is also sanctified and gloried.
 There will be services at the wigwam Sunday afternoon and night, but none in the morning.
 In the headlines of yesterdays item about the services at the wigwam the eloquent and able sermon of Rev. Dr. Stainback was credited to Rev. pr. Gray. The error is, regretted. ssF

MINING in ARIZONA.
Gold Deposits within Fsw NIsies Of
Ph9nix.

Gold Deposits within Few Msiea OF
Ph1nix.
Placer mining is being carried on ex-
tensively in the gulch which runs from
Yarnel down to Peoples valley, says
the Prescott Courier. Five or ak campo
of men are scattered at intervals along
the gulch. A couple Of Cinnamon are
also working claim there.
Several fine bodies of building stone
have bsen lately found near Florence.
and skillful stonecutters are now busily
at work dressing the material. 1t com
prises granite found within q short dis
tance of the town, and very fine char
acter of black marble, ledge OF which
lies near the river on the Riverside stage
road.
j. X. Turman and associates are busily
at work developing gold-bearing ledge
located by them near the head OF the
Consolidated canals and crossing the
Tempe road at that point, says the Pho-
nix Gazette. The ledge, which lies IN the
gray granite of the vicinity ia stated
to be 80 feet in width and to assay in
free gold SO to the ton across the en-
tire face. A shalt is now down about 20
feet. 1t will be sunk to so feet and
cross-cutting then commenced. Several
buildings are now put up on the ground
for the use OF the miners and the scene
from the railroad track is beginning to
assume many of the characteristics of a
mining camp. II would indeed be Curl
GUS if valuable mineral deposits were to
be developed within five miles of
Phoenix and upon spot over which
thousands have crossed Tor years. Still.
the old mining adage is: "Gold is
where you find it, and it is not improb-
able that property of value will be de-
veloped.
Reports from Lynx creek, in Yavapai
county, are that new men are going to
work daily, with pans, rockers and other
methods of extracting gold from the
gravel banks and bars tributary to that
creek.
Good reports come from the gold claim
owned and now being developed by
Arnold brothers, Walnut Grove. They
have five or elk veins on their claim,
averaging about 80 inches wide and run
ming all the way from $50 to $3.50 per
ton. The lodges are cloee together, and
it is the opinion of mining men that
they will all come together in one big
vein when sufficient depth is reached.
With the completion of the new
double compartment shaft, the Harqua
Hala mines will start up in the renewed
production of bullion, and in even
greater amount. The ore shaft is sew
eral hundred feet distant from the old

understood that the newer workings will
be at greater depth than ever before
