Are You in It ?

Mr.. Charles B. Spahr of Columbia Uni
versity, has recently examined the records of
the Surrogates of IS counties in the State of
New York, covering the last three months of
1898 and including the counties. of New
York and Kings, the richest in the State.
The results remarkable as showing how
few people leave any estates at all and the
low average values of the estates left.
Out of 10000 persons over % years of age
dying during the quarter, only
ss5 left estates equal to orexceeding $4,000
2466 " averaging 1892
6649 " valued at 5000
Think of it! Less than per cent were
worth $4,000 and less than rs per cent were
worth 81 1922 when they died. The conclusion
is that whether Oils out of every 10000
leave an estate of $4,000 ornot depends upon
whether they have life insurance for that
amount or not.

The Range Cow.

The following is contributed by an Apache county cow-boy:
 A short time since the COW was sad; she scarce could raise her head, begad, Her hOof were sore, her tail was limp: her main and bag had lost their crimp; and miles she trudged the grass, to drink, with scarcely strength enough to wink. The owner, too, looked blue and glum, and cursed the cattle bus mess some. But since the rain the grass is tall-and the COW can raise her head aud ball; her hide is slick, no bones pr"lrude; she planccs like a Phoenix dude. Her tail is sleek, she shorts and darcs the crowd to fight. Her owner, too, digs up the chink and asks the boys to have drink. God bless the rain, the gentle rain; it makes man feel young again. He feels like tossing up his hat and howl ing like democrat.

Ari ona Guano.

An incipient industry in this county is the shipment of guano. It is de- posit by bats found in many cavernous localities. Two loads were brought in yesterday from the neighborhood of Tubac. The supply is said to be al- most limitless and it's fertilizing qual- ities superior to the Peruvian or other coast guano. It is brought down the mountain sides from the caves in which it is found on buros and then loaded into wagons. It has no market price or at least none is known here. A man from Los Angeles was expected in Tucson yesterday to make arrange. ments for handling shipments from this point. He failed to arrive and the men who brought the guano in sold it to a local shipper of bone fer tilizers at SIP a ton. Peruvian guano is said to be worth about $50 ton in the market. The excess of freight rates to the coast over steamer rates would force the price here somewhat below that. Star.

Raised Values.

Returns from three counties were raised by the Territorial Board of Equalization, none of them very high.
 In Maricopa county, town and city property was raised 10 per cent, and cattle the same.
 Cochise county assessments were raised on acreage lands 50 per cent and on mules 25O per cent. The latter property was returned exceeding low and the big raise was necessary to equalize it with that of the rest of the Territory.
 Yuma county was raised on acreage land 40 per cent, town and city lots 15 per cent, improvements 12 per cent.
 Pullman cars on the Southern Pacific and M. & P. roads are returned ny those companies and not assessed seperately.-Herald.

An Early Autumn Magazine.

"Compulsion in Child Training" is the subject which the Rev. Charles H. ParkhurSt, D. D., discusses wisely and well in the September Ladies' Home Journal. His article is ably supple mented by Edward w. Bok's excellent editorial on Our Schools and Our Teachers. 1.-The Woman who Paints Cats' is the striking title of full page devoted to Madame Henriette Bonner, the celebrated cat painter; several copies of her most celebrated pictures being given. 1.-The Men Who Write Our Comic Operas" are repre- sented by portraits and sketches of 1.-The Composer of Wang"
 Altogether thls attractive issue, which goes out with a cover especially designed by Mir c. D. Gibson, is worth ten times its price of ten cents. The Ladies' Home Journal is published by the Curtis Publishing Company, ot Philadelphia, for ten cents per mum Der and one dollar per year.

ARIZONA SCENERY.
What Ex-Chief Justice Gooding Says
 of Our Natural Wonders.


 Judge II. c. Gooding. formerly chief justice of Arizona, has this to say of Northern Arizona in the Los An geles Express. When asked in re- gard to the scenic attractions of the Territory Judge Gooding replied: "Well, to be brief, there is in the northern part of the Territory the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, a chasm in the earth that excels in stu pendous vastness anything like it on the face of the globe. Then the petri- fled forest is wonder. have walked on petritied logs sixty feet long and three feet in diameter. The homes of the cliff dwellers awaken wonder and profound reflection. By taking drive over a good road through a grand old pine forest, from Flagstaff, eight miles east, one of these places, homes of the cliff dwellers, can be seen You sud denly come upon drop in the earth 100 feet deep and sixteen miles long, the sides of which are pitted with the old homes of the ancient people. In midwinter the fragrant breath of spring and the song of birds come up from the depths below. The Territory abounds in wonderful physical fea- lures that when they become known and facilities for travel make them ac- ccssible will cause it to swarm with tourists. The White mountains of Arizona, of which many people have never heard, are much grander in pro portion and scenic beauty than the White mountains in New Hampshire, and the natural bridge in Yavapai county eXcels the natural bridge of Virginia. But the wonder of wonders, to my mind, are the evidences of anti quity of that country. Some parts of it look as ancient as Old Time-make you feel like you were in faroff coun- try and away back before time began to be counted. At one time l held a term of court at St. Johns, in Apache county. While walking in the out skirts of the little semi-MeXican- Mor- mon-American village l picked up pieces of painted pottery ex- actly like those exhumed from ancient Herculaneum and Pompei. Again, the remains of old cities and the old canals in the Salt river valley prove that population and civilization existed there before Columbus discovered America, and possibly coeval with the beginnings of Egypt and Asia. No one has ever been able to fix the time or account for the manner of the eX- tinction of the ancient peoples. Ari- z)na is the oldest as well as the newest inhabited portions of our country"

An Arizona swift.

George T. Johnson, at one time a dry goods clerk in the store of l.. Zeck- endorf & Go. of Tucson, but later a merchant in PhoenlX, is cutting a wide swath as an entertainer on Catalina island. August 18th the Los Angeles "Times" said: "George T. Johnson, the young Arizona millionaire, who has been dubbed Monte Cristo by his admiring friends, entertained party of young people on board the Fleet wing yesterday afternoon, leaving Avalon for Seal rocks at 4:30 o'clock. '' On the day previous he had chartered the yacht San Diego and entertained 100 of his friends with an excursion and lunch.

Flagstaff Lodge was favored with 6

Flagstaff Lodge was favored with a visit from G. c. T., A. P. Walbridge and other members of the Grand Lodge of Arizona, on Saturday night: They came as party of workers and made the journey from Phoenix via Prescott, Jerome and Verde in wagons, and have been visiting the lodges and holding temperance meetings all along the route.
 Open air meetings were held on Friday and Saturday evenings and quite good attendance was had at both meetings.
 Bros. Thompson, Austin and Wal bridge were the speakers, and the principles of temperance reform were presented in kindly but forcible manner, and we believe that good has been done.
 The lodge has been greatly strength ened by the visit of these earnest Good Templars, and we believe that the fairness and good sense with which they carried out their work while in Flagstaff will make friends for the temperance cause. Their report of he prosperity which the order is en- toying in the southern part of the Ter ritory is gratifying, and the work which is being done in that section of the country will soon begin to make itself felt
 A fight occurred few nights since in Donahue's saloon, and the princi- ples were placed under arrest upon the charge of prize fighting. An examina, tion was held and the parties were released upon the ground that the affair was only glove contest
 The section of the statute covering the offense reads as follows: "Every person who engages in, instigates, en- courages, or promotes any ring or prize fight, or any other premeditated fight or contention (without deadly weapons) is punishable by imprison- ment in the territorial prison not ex- ceeding two years" And with all respect to the legal gentlemen who have passed on the subject, it seems to us that such affrays as the one which occurred the other night come within the statute.

Burned by His Own Breath.

The manufacture of distilled spirits, locally known as hoochinoo has been carried on by the natives of Alaska for long period, and at times during the early days of the Cassiar excite ment it was freely purchased by the white miners as the only liquor obtain. able, owing to the strict enforcement of the prohibitory clause against the importation of liquors into the territo- ry. Hoochinoo is nothing more or less than raw alcohol, being distilled mainly from raw sugar or molasses and corn meal. UndIluted the stuff has a double-proof strength, makes drunk come freely. and but few swallows of it will set man bowling in demoniac glee, and nothing but an Indian, with his copper-lined stomach, can stand a protracted spree on it. The Rake Indians probably lead all others in the manufacture of these spirits, and as proof of their knowledge in the art of making a double proof article, we give the particulars of the awful fate of an expert Rake distiller which happened recently on that island It seems that the Indian, while engaged in the manip- ulation of his little coal oil can still imbibed too freely of its ticklings, and in a drunken stupor lay down by his fire of cedar logs and fell asleep, with his face uncomfortably close to the flames. Through some reason known only to the medical fraternity, gas accumulated in the stomach, and, the breath of the sleeper reaching the flames this alcohol gas ignited. The sleeper suddenly leaped to his feet with a terrifying scream and fell back again writhing in agony The man was burning inter- nally. Smoke and even flames were issuing from his mouth, and his agony was something awful. His loud screeching brought the members of the camp about him, who looked on in silent, terror-strickeu awe, unable to do anything for his relief. The combus
 tion continued until the Indian was literally consumed inside, and for some time after the spirit of life had fled --Alaska Morning Record.

Electric Carnival.

On July 18th, 1895, electric power was received at the sub station of the Sacramento Electric Power and Light Company in Sacramento City from the great works of the company, twenty two miles away, near the town of Folsom. At that point massive stone dam, making fall of eighty feet, has been built across the American river, a torrential stream, just as it emerges from the foothills of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada.
 The power developed. as it is deliv- cred, is 4,00O horse power. This is capable of indefinite increase as the demand for electricity for light or rOwer may require.
 On September 9th, 1895. the citi- zens of Sacramento will celebrate the installation of this great work by a grand electric carnival, in which the Native Sous of the Golden West of California, to the estimated number of 10000, will join. Sacramento cor dially invites all the people everywhere to witness this splendid spectacle, and unite with her in celebrating great triumph of energy, enterprise and progress.
