BETTING ON DEATH.
A Wager Based on the Uncertainty of
 Human Life.

Tucson Star: On Christmas night a party of gentlemen just out of lodge meeting met in Congress street re- sort. The time put one of them in a reflective mood and he said somewhat sorrowfully that he had a presentiment that all the members of the crowd would not live ito see another Christ mas night. 'I do not know on what such a presentiment can be based" replied another gentleman Here we are, only twelve or fifteen in number, all in good health, in youth, or at the most not past middle age. Vital sta ltistics do not show the annual death rate to exceed one in 1000. I'd be will ing to bet that every man present will be alive this time next year. It's a good bet; I've got he gambling chances on my side"
 The more the man calculated upon the chances in favor of life the more enthusiastic he became and offered to bet champagne supper that every member of the party would be alive next Christmas night. A contract was drawn up in triplicate, one copy to be held by each bettor and the other to be deposited with a disinterested party. The contract was drawn up by two legal gentlemen present and was complete and ghastly document. One condition was that at the end of the year that an invitation should be sent to every member of the crowd, dead or alive. Addresses were taken down and in making up the list it was dis covered that there were just thirteen persons present. Two of the gentle men became nervous when the discov- cry was made and begged to be con- sidered out of it. They were not su- perstitious, they said, but would just as soon have nothing to do with it. All were counted in.

ALL OVER THE TERRITORY News CuLIed From Vari-
 OuS Sources. What the Prominent People
 Are Doing. Their Movements and lnVeStm entS Personal and General
 Territorial News.

Prescott Journal-Miner: Dave Robinson, young bicyclist while at tempting to do some fancy riding on the ice, at the old city dam this morn ing, fell and broke hole in the ice and received an immersion up to his neck.
 Prescott Courier: Now that the city supply well and the reservoir both contain plenty of water, and there be- ing sufficient water for all purposes, people have for the time being lost sight of the water question except for the injunction suits now pending in court It is a very old axiom which says in time of peace, prepare for war;" and this would seem to very aptly apply ito the water problem at this time. While we are enjoying the blessings of a plentitude of water would be a good time to try to settle upon some definite plan to pursue that would insure an ample water supply at all seasons, which would in no wise interfere with any plans at present set forth. The Courier's columns are open for water talks and exchange of ideas on this very interesting problem.
 Prescott Courier: Latest reports from the Santa Maria are that the Waters mine and mill are being oper ated very successfully. The vein is the largest in the deepest working and the ore still holds out as rich as near the surface. Twenty more stamps are to be added to the mill, making forty in all There is considerable activity in development work throughout the district, which has been stimulated by the successful working of the Waters.
 Tucson Citizen: The Workmen have in contemplation the building of hall by means of a joint stock company. A committee of five has been appoint ed to take the matter under considera- tion, select building site and report. As now understood the entire cost of the structure, including lot, is esti- mated at S2000O Two thousand shares at a par value Of S10 each will be issued of which the lodges here will take 800, if necessary. One fourth of the money is already in sight and it is the purpose of the order to push the work right along.
 Tucson Star: And now it turns out that the report of the killing of the Ellison family by Indians is only an idle rumor. Nothing is known of the matter at San Carlos Indian agency Strange such reports should gain cur rency and then be wired abroad to the great injury of the territory. It can be said to the credit of the Associated Press agent at Phoenix that he has very carefully weighed all these re- ports before giving them to the public, and has thus protected Arizona from misrepresentation and consequent in- jury. If the same care was exercised by other press agents in the territory much good instead of injury could be done by these news agents.

NEW YORK. April 6.-During the Two

trade was fair, but the tendency of prices
was in the main downward. The losses
of the day ranged from q to q per cent,
the latter in New jersey Central, which
was sold down in the last half hour.
During the past week the market has
been less active than for some weeks, with
the result that the declines largely out
number the advances, while the aggregate
sales reach only 93S, 900 shares.
In the latter part OF the day the market
was dull and irregular, the depressing in
fiuences being the unfayorable traffic re-
turns and foreign selling, realizations OF
profits and doubts as to a favorable out
come of the pending negotiations between
the holders of anthracite carrying roads
The closing OF the stock OF the Sugar
Trust relineries was used as a Wedge

in demand throughout the week, partlcu-

The bond market was firm. The oregon
Navigation issues were the features OF the
dealings and made further advance, the

tificates 5 per cent. The sales aggregated
$546, 900. An advance was recorded OF IA
in Oregon and California 5s There was
pronounced strength during the earlier
part of the week in the speculative issues,
the transactions being ", 263, 900. Gov
