Asa result Of fMcKinley's election
the patent office was the scene the
other day of an unusual episode, in
the shape Of the prcttiest girl in
the Office kissing the homeiest
man. 1t was the sequel of a freak
election bet by the Mckinley girls
of the Office on the one side, and
the Bryan girls on the other.
1t fell to the lot Of Miss Dorothy
Marks, Kentuckey blonde, not
only the best looking glrl among
the Bryan supporters, but the belle
of the interior department, to kiss
the ugliest man, and the judges,
consisted Of two young ladies, one
a Bryan maiden, the other Il Me
Kinley admirer, decided that she
must kiss Mr.. Charles II. Hammer
as the ugliest clerk in the office.
Mr.. Hammer is, it is said, con-
firmed bachelor. 1t happened that
Mr., Hammer was off on furlough,
ana Jney nau TO walt lOf MS re-
turn.
Yesterday he arrived, and this
morning he made his appearance
at the office.
Miss Marks saw him, and as there
was no one looking she thought
that would be the best time to pay
her bet, and, rushing up to Mr.
Hammer, she exclaimed: ooh! Mr.
Hammer! Pm so glad to see you
that l am going to kiss you!"
Mr.. Hammer had no lntimatior
of the wager, but he acknowledged
the favor gracefully and returned
to his desk smiling.

sufficient amount of water to lrrigate

of water can undoubtedly be
brought to the surface by this
means, at no great cost, and it is
high time that thinking men Of the

DEVELOP THE LONE STAR DIS
TRICT.

Within eight miles Of this place
is copper district, that is elaine d
by all who have prospected it to
be one of the largest and richest
copper districts in the southwest,
yet it is practically virgin field,
Immense copper deposits undoubt-
edly lay hidden beneath the sur
face of the Lone Star district.
There are hundreds Of claims locat-
ed there, on which enough develop.
ment is annually done to hold
them, but their owners do not pos
sess the capital necessary for their
proper development. Several at,
tempts have been made to interest
outside capital in this district, but
appearantly none have yet taken
hold oft, probably for the reason
that the mines have not been suf
iciently developed.
There is no reason for the mine
owners TO wait longer for outside
capital to come in and develop
their properties. A home com
pany can be organized for the de-
velopment of one claim and if the
ore, in richness and quantity, ex,
lists there as is claimed, there will
be no further trouble in inducing
capital to come in.
Let a company be organized o.
the residents of this valley, ther
select some claim, to be given tc
the company for the purpose, ther
put men to work and sink TO sui
fcient depth to ascertain
whether or not the ore is really
there. This plan would forever dc
away with uncertainty. There /,
not a mine owner in the district
who cannot afford to pay into 8
company of this kind SO, there is
not a merchant or business man OF
any kind who cannot afford to con.
tribute So, and there is nota farmer
or mechanic who cannot afford to
give 80 cents or S1.00. In this
way from $4,000 to $4,000 can easi,
ly be raised and no one will feel
the loss of it, and the mine will be-
come company property. With
this amount Subscribed together
with the ore that would be taken
out during the development work,
a shaft could be put down to a
sufficient depth to demonstrate
fully what there is in the Lone
Star district.
If at the end, the mine turns out
worthless no one has lost enough
to ever feel 1t, while on the other
hand if it is demonstrated that rich
ore is there in large quantities,
their money will be returned to
them a thousand fold,
This scheme is practicable. Will
some one take hold of it and work
1t up?

The Jewish Messenger gives the
following account of the first print
or and his trials: When Faustus
had printed IN 1850 number of
copies of the Bible, he undertook
the sale of them in Paris, where
printing was then unknown. AS
he sold his copies for sixty crowns,
while scribes demanded 500 for
their manuscripts, he created un-
iverSal astonishment, but when he
produced copies as fast as they
were wanted, and lowered the
price to thirty crowns, all Paris
was in agitation. The uniformity
of the copies greatly increased the
wonder; information was given to
police against him as magician,
his lodings being consequently
searched and great number oI
copies beng found, they were sciz,
ed. The red ink with which they
were embelleshed was supposed to
be his blood, and it was seriously
adiudged that he was in league
with the devil, and it is presumed
that if he had not fed he woutt
have shared the fate of those whom
superstitious judges in those days
condemned for witchcraft.

THE TREASUR TERRITORY.
What is Possible III the Mining Line in
Arizona.

What is Possible IN the Mining Line in
Arizona.
Speaking Of Arizona's mining
possibilities the Mining Journal,
published in London, says:
Owing principally to its sup
posed remotness, the great mineral
resources of this territory have not
as yet received that attention from
outside capital which they fully
justify.
In consequence of Arizona hav-
ing been in the past comparatively
overlooked, desirable properties Of
considerable merit can be obtained
at moderate prices and on reason
able terms.
In number of cases at least,
the necessary water supply can be
obtained by the judicious eXpendi-
ture of a moderate amount Of CAPT
tai in the construction Of pumping
plants, or dam and storage reser-
voirs, pipe lines, ETC., or the sink
ing of artisan wells, which enter
prise the richness of the mineral
deposits fully justify.
In othOr cases, the mining prop
critics are of such extent and value
rs to justify the construction Of
private branch railroads to con.
meet the lines of railroads, thereby
reducing the cost Of fuel supplies,
ore freights, etc, as has been done
in the case of the Arizona & New
Mexico railroad, built and owned
by the Arizona Copper company
in Graham county.
The latitude and climate Of All
zona give winters with the mini
mum of snow, absolute freedom
from avalanche, or any conditions
whatever to prevent continuous
mining and shipping the year
round.
The remotness is more fancied
than real, as practically any niue
in Arizona can be reached in four
teen days from London, and pro.
portionately less time from New
York and other eastern centers.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railroad and its continuation,
the Atlantic & Pacific railroad, is
the favorite route from Chicago,
and the east to southern and mid
die California not only for "globe
trotters" and ordinary European
tourists, but for the large numbers
Of wealthy eastern people who
spend their holidays, and more
particularly the winters, in south
rrn California, which is for America
what the Riviera, Nice, and Cannes
are for the wealthier classes of
Europe. This route, therefore, has
quick through trains, with the
finest Pullman service, and
speaking from personal ex-
perience, the best managed eating
stations IN the United States.
The one great need of Arizona
to-day is capital in the hands of
practical and entcrprising men;
and as its vast mineral wealth and
mining possibilities become more
fully realized and appreciated, in
creased attention on the part of
practical mining men and capital
lists will certainly be directed to
them. With the judicious expendi-
ture Of capital, the annual output
of Arizona IN gold, silver, copper
and lead is capable of infinite ex-
pansion-to say nothing Of the
known deposits of iron, magneSia,
coal and other minerals, which
will eventually be developed and
utilized.
In conclusion, probably no state
or territory in America is better
worth the personal Investigation
Of practical men with capital than
Arizona.

LET US KICK

IT is learned from authoritive
sources that if the people of Ari-
zona would make a vigorous re-
monstrance that the military head
quarters now located at Denver
would be moved back to Arizona
whore it properly belongs, says
the Ga=ette. The headquarters for
wars was at Fort Whipple and the
department Of Arizona was both
useful and creditable, but since il
was taken to Denver and Los An
geles, it has simply degenerated
into II dancing school. Soldiers,
like all other public servants are
supposed to be useful to the govern
ment and if any rational man can
give any reason why the soldiers
that are detailed for the protection
Of Arizona should be stationed 500
miles from the place of duty, we
want to hear it. The excuse given
by the army officers is that Denver
is "a nice large city, and affords
lots Of amusement for themselves
ami wives" This is all true and
how about the territory these men
are paid to protect? Arizona is
growing rapidly and has within lis
borders everything for the comfort
of man that reasonable people can
ask for and we think that the time
has arrived when the people OF
this territory should register o
strong, vigorous protest against
the further continuance of the Ari.
zona military headquarters being
located anywhere outside Of Arizo.

AN OLD MANS LOVE
Married a Waitress in Dead.
wood and Disinherited
His Children.
The Young Widow Is Having Hard
Time Fighting Off Her Three
Stepchildren.

Attorney ]. G. Mckee has filed an objec-
ton with the Superior Court to the probat-
ing of the will of Samuel Gwin and the
granting of letters of administration to T.
]. Kierce.
Mckee is acting in behalf of Frank P.
Gwin and William L. Gwin, two sons of
the deceased, residents of Idaho, and
Mary March, his daughter, who is married
and is living in Stockton.
The document filed gives an outline of
for very young girl who was willing to
become his wife, although she cared only
for his wealth and not for him.
Samuel Gwin, as the story is told, was
cattleman near Deadwood. Although go
years of age and the reputed possessor of
over $500, 900 he travelled from town to
town while visiting his cattle ranges.
During these,trips he encountered bright
young girl who was still in her teens. and
who as a waitress at many OF the country
hotels managed to attract his attention.
He wooed her and they finally became
welded.
They lived together for twelve years
without issue, and during that time the
young wife made it her boast that she
cared not for her husband, but had simply
III arried him for his gold.
At the ripe age of u Gwin died and his
will was offered for probate in Idaho. The
District Court set aside the action of the
Probate Court and the widow appealed to
the Supreme Court, where the case is still
pending.
The sons and daughter of the deceased,
who were each left 500 by their father,
object to their stepmother being virtually
the sole legatee, and it is they who have
been lighting the case. Recently they
learned through the usual formal publ.
cation to that effect that Mrs. Gwin,
through her attorneys here, Wheaton,
Kalloch g. Kierce. was endeavoring to
grab up seventy-two lots near Golden Gate
Park, owned by the estate, and the present
member of the firm, from becoming ad-
ministrator.o of that particular end OF the
estate.
