A MINE OF SOAP.
Chance for Capital to Invest in a MeE
 Enterprise

A grizzled old miner yesterday prs- sented Republican reporter with 2 piece of soap.
 The gift was not meant as an insiR- uation, for in the kindly, care-seameG countenance one read only the most honest motives.
 The soap was a specimen of a pc culiar mineral produc: of Cave Creek that has before attracted attention, but the investigation of which has never been industriousiy pursued Near the junction of the Black canyon road and the Agua Fria, this soap bearing rock lies in large upheavafs, having been forced to the surface from the seipage. Its quality was first discovered about twenty years ago, says "Old Rackensack," the donor of the specimen, but the man who found Il never learned a practical process Of extracting the oil. 'Old Rachensack' thinks this could be readily done, and that capital could make a paying in vestment in Arizona soap. There E a mine of it there waiting for devefaB ment.
 The rock is soft and oily, and ap- piled in it's crude state the soap iE quite satisfactory as a dirt eiiminator
 "Old Rackensack' has found fof- tunes for many men. He was the dis coverer of the Rackensack mine iB Gold Hill, and also the Red Rover. His earlier prospecting days were passed in Colorado, and though hH most vigorous years have been spent in the search for natural wealth he is still living on eternal hope and the lowly prospector's frugal fare

many wounds and dropped, fighting nobly'
 We found that the mule had killed seven and wounded four Indians dur ing the scrimmage, and how escaped without a scratch is more than I can say, although I know I was shot at several times"
 PhiPs voice choked him, for the memory of the gallant old mule made the tears come.

WOLCOTT WILL BE CHAIRMAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-Senator Sherman, chairman of the Republican caucus, said today that he had not completed what the committee pro- vides for in Senator Wolcott's resolu- tion to investigate the practicability of securing an international agreement on silver, but that Senator Wolcott would be made chairman of the com mittee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The senate today by a decisive vote of 35 to 21, adopted a motion to take up the Ding ley tariff bill. Unexpected and sur prising as this action was it did not have the significance which the vote itself appears to convey.
 Immediately following it, MT. Ald- rich of Rhode Island, one of the Re- publican members of the finance com mittee, moved to recommit the bill to that committee and this motion was pending when at 2 o'clock the morn ing hour expired and the entire mat ter lapsed as though no vote had been taken. Neither the bill nor the mo- tion to recommit will enjoy any priv ilege or precedence as the result of this action today.
 Early in the day three sets of vigor- ous resolutions for Cuban indepen- dence furnished an interesting feature They came from Mr. Cameron of Penn sylvania, Mir. Mills of Texas and MT. Call of Florida, and while differing in terms, breathe the same spirit of rec ognition by the United States of Gu ban independence. The resolutions by Cameron and Mills were referred to the committee on foreign relations. The Call resolution went to the table. Senator Shoup of Idaho presented a bill to the senate today prohibiting the formation of trusts in protected imported articles by providing for the placing of ch9articles on the free list; also a bilFto suspend the further issuance of paper currency less in de- nomination than $10.
 Senator Chandler today introduced bill in the senate providing for a 10 per cent reduction of the salaries of all federal employees.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house held three-hour session and passed a dozen bills of minor importance among them the following:
 
 To authorizeathe use of the aban- doned Fort Bfdwell military reserva- tion, California, as a training school for Indians.
 To provide for the location and pur. chase of public lands for>reservoir sites in Montana, South Dakota and Wyom ing.
 To authorize Flagstaff, Arizona, tC issue bonds for the construction of z water system.
 To authorize any member of tht legislature of New Mexico to swear il the presiding officer.
 The house agreed to a senat, amendment approving certain acts o the legislature of New Mexico for al issue of bonds so as to validate SIP, 800 bonds of Santa Fe county.
 The Shafroth bill for the protection of forest reservations from fire was de feated.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The fol- lowing dispatch in confirmation of his previous advices was received to-day by Minister De Lome from the Spanish minister of foreign affairs:
 "The insurgent leader, Antonio Ma eco, realizing the impossibility of re- maining in the Pinar del Rio province, and having been constantly pursued by the Spanish columns, crossed the trocha on the fourth instant. He was at the head of 2,0O0 men, whom he had recruited from the local bands. of the western province of Havana, when he was overtaken by Major Cirrujeda'S column, $50 strong. The Maceo forces were routed, the leader being killed in the engagement, and Maximo Ao- mez's son committed suicide after be ing wounded. The corpses have been identified and their clothing and arms and documents in their possession were taken by the Spaniards.
  NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Dr. Estrada Palma and Dr. J. Castillo, of the Cuban junta, refuse to glYe credence to the report of the death of General Antonio Maceo.
 This is the seventh time news Of Maceo's death has been circulated with a semblance of official authez- ity,' said Dr. Castillo
 Continuing, the doctor said that il had always been the custom to report that Maceo had fallen in the conflict whenever he had compelled the Span 1 ish to retreat with a heavy loss of life If he is dead,' said the doctor, ~hiE death will not end the contest

Lighthouses.

The first lighthouse of which there 10
any record In history was built by Ptolemy
Philadelphus about 8O6 B. O. Tt was a
tower on which wood fires were kept hlaz-
ing at night 1t was built on Pharos, a
small island In the bay OF Alexandria, and
was one OF the seven wonders of the world
Ii Is an interesting fact that the modern
French and Spanish names for lighthouse
Tho one being phare, the other faro-stin
preserve the memory Of the island whera
the first attempt at seaooast illumination
was located. The ruined tower in Dover
castle, England, erected about A. d. a, is
claimed by some authorities to have been
built tor lighthouse, upon which an
enormous wood FIRE was kept burning
The lighthouse on the southern end Of
the island Of Conaniout, at the mouth Of
Narragausett bay, Is said to be the oldest
In the United States. The present etruc-
ture Is comparatively modern, but the first
one was erected in l750, and for nearly
100 years previous watch tower, with d
BEACON fire, had existed at the same point.
The lighthouse bears the odd name Of
Beaver Tail The southern portion Of
Conaaiout island is shaped something like
a beaver, with Its tall pointing southwarC
and in early times II was known by that
name, the two extremities being called
bead and tail.-EXehanRe

Hard 10 Tell.

A man who had beea made mayor Of
small town, largely through an accident
of politics. was waited upon by a commit
tee OF more or less indignant citirens, who
desired to protest against his arbitrary
methods Of conducting affairs
We represent the people, said the
spokesman, land we think we ought to
have more say in running this place.
You're only the mayor, you know. We
didn't deed TIN town to you"
"Of course," assented the official, 81
realize that the people have right to
some say. But at the same time when q
things done I'm the one that must go
ahead and do 1t. The people could get to-
gether and hold macs meetings and boiler
till doomsday, but that wouldn't transact
any business What do you want anyhowf''
"What we principally want" said the
spokesman, sis to know who 10 cumming
this town."
"Well,". the mayor answered thought
fully, "it's hard thing to say exactly.
You know my wife, don't your"
eyes,
"Well, my wife Is woman that has
her own way now and then. When II comes
to figuring ont where the supreme author
ity in this community lies, you're liable
to run up against good deal of confu-
sion. You $50, my wife bosses me, and the
baby bosses my wife. But have legal
right to spank the baby, SO It does seem
kind of hard to tell exactly where the
highest power lies. But there's one thing
you'll be entirely safe in making few
friendly bets on, and that is that 1t never
gets outside the family for minute. -
