THE parents of schuol children in this city should demonstrate their interest in the educational work which is bein.: done by frequent visits to the different rooms. There is no question but what splendid results are being accomplished, and the teachers should have the en- coursgement of every parent. A fact which is apparently not generally known: and which exerts remarkable influence on educational matters in the territory, is that the apportionment of the echool funds is based upon the average attendance. If the parents de sire to maintain their schools for the full period, they should see to it that their children are all in thelr seats each day. The difference of a thousand dollars or so in the amount of available money for school purposes in this city would make marked difference in the length of the next school term. This matter should be constantly be borne in mind and nothing but the most press ing necessity should afford an excuse for absence.

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
The Opening Night a Grand Suoos,


 The much talked of Catholic fair opened, as per announcement, last even- ing. The history of Tucson is brilliant with records of successful entertain. ments of every sort, but DO event ever recorded m the annals of the old pueblo will eurpAss this effort of the ladies. Last nights proceedings stamp the affair as a gorgeous success from every point of view. The crowd which sssem bled was surprising. Every nook and corLer of the grand editice was crowded to the limit, and the scene wss one of un- usual sttractiveness and brillisncy. The gsily decorated booths were made more attractive by the splendidly arranged electric lighte, and were presided over by ladies uho were fully qualified to transact the immense volume of busi- ness which came to each one. The st- fractions were almost without limit. Fish ponds, post office, raffiss-all were taxed Io the utmost to meet the de- mands of the liberal patrons who swarm ed around them like bees.
 The dinners which were served re- ceived the highest compliments on every hand, and proof is not wanting that, ID the culinary art, the ladies who dld the work are experts. Every delicacy imaginable was there to tempt the sp- petites of the hungry. and everything was eaten up-"they licked the platters clean"
 The treasurer is burdened down this morning with the proceeds of tie evsD- ing. A count rt vealed $500 as the result of the nights work.
 Too much credit cannot be given those who have been active in the manage ment of tbis grand event, and dou btless a very credItable sum will be the result of their work.

IN the north and west this season is the most severe in the history of the country. In Oregon and Washington the rivers, including the Columbia and many smaller streams, are closed with foe, while the email bodies of water are everywhere frozen. Such severe weath- CT. 60 early in the season, finds stock men totally unprepared to protect their cattle, many of which are still on the range, and it is estimated that many thousands will perish of cold and stsrvs- tion. In the reRion about the head waters of the Missouri river the whole country is covered with snow and ice to the depth of 12 to 16 inches. Osttle by the thousands gre unable to get food and are dying by droves. Many stock- men have large stores of feed, but owing to the sudden severity of the weather, are totally unsble to distribute tLem ID c way to relieve their stock.

FREE CURE FOR MEN. A Michigan Man Offers to Send
 His Discovery Free.
Claims to be Q Benefactor to Weakon.
 cd Mankind.

There IS always moro or less suspicion
 attached to anything that IS offered free
 but sometimes @ man so overhows with generosity that be cannot rest until his discovery is known to the world, in order that his fellow men may profit by
 what he has discovered. It is upon this
 principle thsts resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free to mankind a prescription which will cure them of any form of nervous debility; relieves them of all the doubt and uncertainty which such men are peculiarly liable to and restores the organs to natural size and visor. As it costs nothing to try the experiment it would seem that any man, suffering with the nervous troubles that usuelly attack men who never stop ped to realize what might be the final result. ought to be deeply interested in remedy which will restore them to health, strength and vigor, without which they continue to live an existence of untold misery. As the remedy in question was the result of many years research ss to what combination whould be peculiarly effective in restoring 10 men the strength they need, it would seem that all men suffering with any form of nervous weakness ought to write for such 8 remedy at once. A re- quest to H. O. Olds, Box 1782, Kalsms- zoo, Mich., stating that you are not sending for the prescription out of idle curosity, but that you wish to make use of the medicine by giving it @ trial, will be answered promptly and without evidence as to where information came from.
 The prescription is sent free and al, though some may wonder how Mir. Olds can afford to give away his discovery, there IS DO doubt about the offer being genuine. Cut this out and send to MT. Olds SO that he may know how you came to write him. lI-28-7St

What is Going on in the Different Camps fin Arizona. The Las Amarillas mines, Sonora, are producing from sl10,OOO to sl20,OOO gold | monthly.
 A rich strike is reported on the Blind Goddess, a claim near Kingmsn, owned by Henry Ewing and others. A recent visitor in Big Bag district noted msny evidences of prosperity. Many miners are building new cabins, placer miners are doing well, having an abundance of water, while on every hand quartZs miners may be seen at work.-Prescott Courier.
 Arrangements will soon be made to
 start the furnace of the Arizona and
 New Mexico Smelling company, which
 IS controlled by the American Zinc and
 Lead company of Csnur City, Colorado.
 The washing out of the track of the s. c. & N. R. R. by floods lsst summer,
 shut off the transportation and supply of fuel and caused the closing down of the furnace.
 The Cedar Valley Gold and Silver Mining company, whose property is To- csted forty miles south of KIngman, is about to add fifteen or twenty stamps to it's present tive-ton mill. There are
 two veins ia the property, one four and
 the other fifteen inches in width, ss- saying SIP gold and twenty-five ounces
 silver.
 The Treasure Mining company of
 Denver will soon start sinking the shaft
 below the 200-foot level on the Atlantic
 vein. About fifty men are employed at the mlne and the mlll and the property IS payiug handsomely. The same com-
 pany will also start sinking below the 400foot level on the Deep Down
 vein, which runs parallel to the Atlantic and about sixty feet distant. The pre- perties will be worked from separate shafts on each vein.
 Solon Marker, who is hauling ore for Mir. Schaar, came iu from Placeritas last evening, bringing favorable reports from the camp. He says the mine Is showing up fine, with about fifty men at work thereon. While Mr. Marker and Mr. Mendenhall were out prospecting few days ago they discovered aud located, three miles east of Schasr's mill, four f. ot ledge of ore which assays S25 per ton gold. They expect to have a five stamp mill ir operation upon same in- side of three months. MT. Schaar is running his ten stamp mill day and night, handling tventy-eight tons of ore every twenty four hours. The best of the ore goes over $500 per ton, while the low grade ore will average $50 per ton. Two steam hoists are in operation up- on the mines. MT. M. started in haul ing ore there some months ago with two horses; now he uses twelve horses and is in Prescott to further increase his hauling facilities.-Prescott Cour- fer.
