Capt. Miuer's Surprise.

Capt. John A. Miller, of the Phoenix Light Infantry, yesterday received let ter from Capt. B. G. Wheeler, United States army, stationed at Washington. This letter states that a recent inspec- peetion of the files of the war depart ment has revealed the fact that Capt. Miller hal been given a commission as captain in the regular army by President Andrew Jackson, in 1865. The letter received yesterday was the first intlma- tion of his promotion received by Capt. Miller, although the commission was is- sued thirty years ago. Capt. Miller was sergeant major of the 18th Ohio infantry during the civil war. and was stationed in Tennessee in 1865. While there 8 va- cancy occurred in one of the companies of the regular army, and Capt. Miller made application for the commission. He heard no more of it until yesterday, when he discovered that he had been a captain in the United States army for the past thirty years.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

THE fire at the school house last night awakened the energies of every man in town who could get to the plazs. The first to arrive at the scene of the confa- grafton were several active young men who energeticslly went to work on their muscles and with buckets tried to subdue the flames. As soon as the fire bell gave warning our fire department arrived and continued the fight, endeav- bring to make hose conn ection with the Southern Pacific tank. The second hose cart was necessary end was soon put into action and with the railroad hose and the active help of citizens the logg connection was made in an incredi- tabIy short time. The tenRcity with which our firenen and citizens held the fire in abeyance IS most commendable, ss it WAS for long time fight against edds. That the damage is so small be- speaks quick and intelligent action on the part of all concerned.

REPORTS from Nicaragua state that British Minister Gosling has been doing some loud talking about Britain's inten- tions in regard to the Nicaragua canal, and her plans for securing control of that great work. It is hardly possible that diplomatic officer would dlyulge the plans of his nation some years in advance of their execution. It is more probable that it is merely ''bluff'' on the part of Great Britain to regain the prestige lost by reason of her recent piratical raid on Corinto. England knows very we'll that the United States will build and coHtrol that canal. There is not an European power, with the exception Of Italy, bu! would support the United States in this matter. Each one of the many interested nations knows that this country is more worthy of being trusted to control that canal for the interests of humanity than is any other one of their number.

LA NINA YAOUI.

This once great mine is situated in the Llanos of Cienega placer concession, to which reference was made in recent issue of the CITIZEN. It is mine of which nothing is known outside the boundaries of Sonora, and yet it is the same Nina Yaqui which once produced pockets of gold 0,OO0, s6O,OOO and ESQ., 900 in value, and was regarded fifty years ago as the bonanza mine of SOno- ra. And 1t is not one of those mines either round which there fingers noth- ing but halo of Mexican romance to vouch for its former productiveness. It Is as mines are reckoned in that local ity, modern mine. Its history com- mences with the second quarter of the present century, and there are men still living in the Altar mining district who worked in it shortly after it was opened. It's record can be hunted up in the arch ives of the government at Hermosillo, and from dusty official documents the history of one of the most remarkable mines of the Pacific coast may be glean- ed with but little difficulty. Today it is lying idle. Why? For the same reason that another great mine, Ell Tiro, dis tant about half league, remains un- worked. It is situated at the commence ment of the Llanos Cienega conces- sion in one of the most productive DOT tions of this gold field. Below the vein couple of hundred Yaqui Indians are constantly employed dry washing the al- luvial from which they obtain the gold so cheaply in their primitive appliances that no thought is ever given by their Mexican masters towards reopenIng the quartz mine from which much of it doubtless came.
 Discovered in the year 1929 the Nina faqul was worked continuously until lo49 when reports of the California gold strike reached Sonora, and every able bodied Mexican who could get away left for the new Fl Dorado. In the score of years during which it had been operat- cd up to this time 1t produced many hundred thousand dollars, mostly in pockets. The vein for the greater DOT ton or It IS not highly auriferous, nor is 1t large, indeed there is nothing about the ledge which would tend at first to encourage the prospector. Taken as it has heen left, and one need never expect to ind any high grade ore in mine af-

from Harper's Round Table.

The ref Of Brazil, like the mill of our own money table, is an imaginary coin, no piece of that denomination being coined. Ten thousand reis equal S545.
 Vermont was the first State to issue a coinage on iis own authority. Copper coins were issued iD 17S5.
 The first wom8n's face represented on a coin was that of Pulchera, the Empress of the Eastern Empire.
 The Chinese stamp bars or ingots of gold or eilver with their weight and nne ness, and pass them from hand to hand as com.
 The first Maryland coins were minted ID 1862, and were put in circulation by act of Council ordering every house. holder to bring in sixty pounds of tobGc- co and receive ten shilings of the new money in exchange for it.
 h 1884 the Massachusetts General Assembly made bullets legal tender by the following enactment: Ut is likewise ordered that muskett bulletts of full bosre shall paes currently for farthing apiece. Provided that noe man be con- pelled to take above XIId att tyne in them"

IN connection with the fire at the School house last night, too much can~ not bo said in favor of the promptness Of the R. R. officials in rendering aid to our fire department, and in approaching the water system at the s. P R. R. con- pany. Messrs. Noble, Gray, Maker and other railroad men were presen. aiding in hastening the good work. When the long connection was made with the round house, and the tremendous stream under 40 pounds pressure was brought into action, great sigh of relief went up from the crowd assembled. Withsuch an eviden ;e of railroad help as We had last night, we have little to fear of los- ing our fine school house structure by fire. school Trustee Gray was every where in lis earnest efforts to save the big b. ick building.

That the various governmental de- partments are sometimes exceedingly slow in their operations is known to most people. A case of more than usual slowness, even for a government bureau, has just come to light. An Ohio man, whIe in command of a militia company competing in the interstats drill at St. Louis few days ago, received notice that he had been commissioned a cap> tain in the regular army by President Jackson in 1865. if the appointment was valid the surprised militia captain will be entitled to have his Dsme placed on the list Of regular army captains-prob- ably at the head, and to receive upwards of $50, 900 back salary. Had be receIyed prompt notice of his appointment he might now have been high in rank.

i CORRESPONDENT in Yokohama, writ ing to the London News, thinks he has discovered one secret of the Japanese successes iu the war with China. There was come severe fighting in Maucburia, where the Chinese troops stood their ground better than in some other parts of the invaded country, and the Japan ese losses were invariably few, while those of the Chinese were invariably heavy. The correspondent says: "Much of the disparity has been due to bad markmanship on the part of the Chr nese, but part of the immunity has been owing to the fact that to keep out the cold the Japanese wore a quantity of floss silk under their clothes. This is very light and flexible material, and in many cases has acted as bullet proof shield. It is important enough to de serve attention at the hands of the Brit ish military authorities" Metallic ar nor being out of the question in mod ern warfare, this floss silk seems to an- swer @ defensive purpose. It is a pret- ty good thing which will keep out cold and bullets as well.

NATIONAL WEATHER BUkEA U.

According to the Burlington Hawk
 Eye. The methods of the weather
 bureau are still capable of improvement.
 IL IS still 100 thoroughly welded to old ideas. We have 6 hope of Secretary Morton will find desk room for some one competent to utilize whatever has been discovered or Is dscoveraole, in the so- called system of planetary meteorolo
 gv." It has passed the experimental
 stage and has registered some remark
 able successes; attaining, in fact, high
 CT average of verifcations of weather
 forecasts than that scored by the gov
 ernment weather bureau. When We consider the ''long range" forecasts
 made by Meteorologist Foster, without aid from the government, and the superior advantages enjoyed by the otfi
 ciel weather bureau system, We are inn pressed with the force of the maxim that tree Is judged by its fruits. These results can no longer be dismissed by prejudice or laughed out of hearing as unscientifc. Truth IS never unscienti-
 ic no matter how strongly it impinges upon our preconceIved notions. The only way to overturn a fact is to demon
 strate that it is not fact. As long as it IS a fact, it is stubborn and becomes 8 thorn in the flesh and at last a con- queror.
 Will Secretary Morton signalize the change in the weather bureau by mak- ing it something more than change of personnel?

STATTsT- Cs regarding the sugar con sumption of the United States have, says Braastreet, been prepared by Chief Ford, of the bureau of statistics of the treasury, for the decade and half from 1880 to 1894, inclusive. The figures giv- en show that there has been an increase for the period covered, not only in the absolute amount Of sugar consumed, which would naturally result from the growth of population, even if the quan. tity consumed per inhabitsnt remained stationary, but also in the consumption per capita. The total consu mption in 1894 amounted to over 100000 tons, which was more than double the con- sumption for the year 1880. Or the total amount consumed last year hitler oyer

THE SNAKES!
The Mcqnis Have Theln cn the Ressr-
 vation.

The mc nts nave lho1n Cn the EseseI- =
 vation.
 The setting of the sun behind the ridge of certain mountain is the signal for the snake dance to go on amoug the melancholy Moquis.
 Great preparations are making for this horribly fascinating tete. No Indian knows the exact date of the dance until the sun sets behind the mesa. Then the performers, who first make tn m- selves imperViCus to poison by eXterna applications of some secret preparation, indulge in the weirdly atrocious custom Of using wriggliDg serpeDts for partners in the dizzy waltz.
 The snake dance is the most interest lDG and a. the same time most repellant observance among the Indians nf any tribe. This great festival of snakes occurs in August of every second year. The suspicion that the Indians pre- viously remove the fangs of the snakes has been proven groundlees. Prof. Fewkee, of the Smithsonian Institute who is now among the Moquls, witnessed the snake dance five years ago and he
 
 ed. It was found that the reptiles were most venOmOus specimens Of theIr species. Prof. Fewkes will remain for the snake dance this year.
 The MOquis arc now actively engaged in harvesting snakes. Rat.lers are their principal prey. Long before the festival beglne, the temple-a'great hole in the grouDd-ie made the receptacle for hIssing, writhing mass of serpents, and before the great Terpsichorean event the time is passed in strange reli- gious rltes.
 The spectacular snake show IS held at the pueblo of Wolbi, no mil northeast of Flagstaff. It is three days journey from here and the trip can be made on horseback or by blackboard. 4 few FIagstaffites have seen the snake dance. The Sykes brothers and Photographer O=bon saw 1t once and they have ex- pressed desire to once again look upon the weird spectacle. Possibly party, in which The Democrat will be repre- scented, will be formed to travel to the Flagstaff Democrat.
