ARIzoNA,s GIRL MINING EXPERT.

If anybody were to ask an Arizona
miner to name the pluckiest girl he |
ever knew, the chances are dollars to |
doughnuts he would answer "Neilie |
Cushman." This young woman, says |
a writer in the New York Sun, has for |
years followed up new camps and
passed judgment on mines. When
only about II wears old, she left her
home at Dodge City, Kansas, and went
to Tucson. This was nine years ago.
She got to examining the ore as it
came out of the Tucson mines, and was
soon as good judge of its value as her
brother Jim, who was foreman and
mineralogist in one of them. The boys
in the Tombstone locality pretty soon
began betting on her judgement, and
found that she was a wonderfully good
guesser, and hit it close about every
time. Her fame spread, and miners,
who are always superstitious, got an
idea that to have her around and get
her good opinion some way brought
luck. She knew where to dig for ore,
too, and some of the ore in the Cod
tention was found by following her
advice in running a drift.
Over in Graham county she made Il
hit one day on copper, and when she
went to Tombstone afterward she
passed her judgement on some mines
there. Bill Wiggins sold the Excelsior
and Grand View mines on her advice,
and the only dividend they ever yielded
was the $4,000 he got from them.
Other mines were bought after she had
examined and reported favorably on
them. They are good paying properties
now. In Tucson, Bisbee, Tombstone
and other camps, Miss Cushman has
conducted general stores and big lodg-
ing houses for the miners. She was
also in business at Castle Dome. She
has had so much experience that she
almest invariably turns it to good
account, getting town lots, placer
sites and lode, claims for next to moth
ing and unloading at big profit. AT
first she did not get out of the camps
soon enough. Consequently she has
been many times rich and poor.
She has indomitable pluck, though
aud if she goes broke in one place she
soon makes a turn and gets up again
Miss Cushman is a rather tall, dark.
eyed girl. She is somewhat angular jn
appearance and has brown hair. Going
about among the mines, or climbing
the hills for out-croppings, she wears
heavy shoes and strong bloomers, US
ually covered with cloak. She is g
rapid walker and quick talker. She is
t first woman in the camp of Harqua
Hala, where there were over l 500
men and no other woman.

Ne Constitutional Revision.

1n0 QuOSC1On OF a COHSIlCuGlOndi CU1l-
vention, to revise the kindergarten
laws of our state and make them fit the
times, was killed in the republican
house of representatives, after having
been passed by the populist senate. A
constitutional convention was de-
manded by nine out of ten of the busi-
ness men and taxpayers of the state;
for every thinking man anxious for the
good name, good government and
prosperity of Kansas knows that
revised constitution for Kansas is
badly needed. Every governor for a
number of years back-inclnding both
recommended constitutional revision.
Yet in the face of all this the Peck
sniffian muttOnheads of the lower
house, the small fry politicians who
have managed to be hoisted to the
position of lawmakers by reason
of the recent political upheaval that
returned the republicans to power;
these scheming, trading, trucking par
tizans refused to give the people a
chance TO revise the laws that so mlser
ably govern us, making as their sole
plea the argument that the state can
not afford constitutional convention. :"
And.this is the republican house; the
''redeemers"; the men whose boast
was that they would do their utmost to
give Kansas better name before the
world But in their action they proved
themselves good republicans. They
showed to the world that their hope
and salvation rests upou keeping up
the party record of broken pledges; of
trucking TO fads and Inconsistencies.
In defeating constitutional revision
the republican party was actuated.
partly by the insane idea that it would
not do to sanction a measure that the
populist senate had agreed on; and
partly by the belief that a certain ele-
ment of unprogressive and antediiu-
Wan Individuals, led and chaperoned
by the long haired men and the short
haired women-the Granny Gossips of
society-would not in the future stand
by the republican party so faithfully as
they have in the past, If the house
favored this just and equitable PROPOSE
ton.
The senate, controlled by the popu-
list party, took the more liberal view
of the situation, and to that body is
due all honor for its efforts in the peo-
ple's interests.
We are glad to state also, that Bar
ton county's representative properly
represented his people by favoring the
measure; but he must, EaOgether with
all members of his party, share the
blame of its ignominious defeat.

Bicycles have taken the place of
many a horse and carriage, and yet
BICYCLES are noG taxed. AS the owner
of bicycle we ask why this discrim-
ination ?-Ellinwood Advocate.
IF THE Advocate man did not list
his bicycle with "all other taxable
property" when making out his returns
to the assessor he should call on the
board of equalization at its next meet
ing and see that the proper correction
is made.

The weather has been so cold that
some of the Heller band boys would

We heard Miss Bell was sick last

whether it was grippe of the heart, or
ordinary grippe. Perhaps Remington
can tell.
The creamery had a meeting of the

1 suppose all have heard of the mar
miage of Frank Merten and Tilda
Bath. May happiness attend them
since they had grit enough to try mat
rimony such hard year as this.
John Coss will soon start on an
assessing trip. There will be a slim
revenue from Buffalo this hard year;
but John, be careful, and don't favor
the papa's who have daughters, as we
will kick if you do.
Many farmers are very dubious
about the wheat as the hard freezing
must be detrimental TO its growth: but
as good corn crop is predicted, we
must live in hopes, as that is about all
we have in this cotntry to live on.
wonder if the oldest man ever saw
a winter like this ? A fellow can't even
go to see his best girl; but that could
be born if there was plenty of feed for
stock. If this keeps up much longer
people will have to kill them to end
