TEMPERANCE.
A MornRh,a MOAN.

MOTHERS MOAN.
II was not on the field Of battle,
IL was not with a ship at sea,
But a fate far worse than either
That stole him away from me.
Twas death in the ruby wine-cup,
That the reason and senses drown,
He drank the alluring poison,
And thus my boy went down
Down from tho height OF manhood
TO the depths OF disgrace and siu;
Down 70 II worthless being,
From the hope OF what might have been.
For the brand Of beast besottcd
He barteled his manhood's crown;
Through the gate OF sinful pleasure
My poor weak boy went down.
It's only the same old story
That mothers so often toll,
With accents OF infinite sadness,
Like the tones Of u funeral bell,
But | never once thought when l heard 1t
sh ould lesrn all its meaning myself;
i thought he'd be true to his mother.
Thought he'd be true to himself.
But alas for my hopes all delusionl
Alas for hts youth and pridel
Who are safe when this yawning danger
Is open on every slde2
Oh! Can nothing destroy this evll2
No bar in their path bo thrown,
To save from the terrible maelstr ON

FRENCH CHAMPIONS OF TEMPERANCE.

The temperance movement in France is
constantly finding new champions. In tho
provinces as well as in Paris new societies
have been founded both for total abstainers
and for those who, while not going quite as
far attack In the most earnest way the ex-
cessive use Of wine. Among the friends of
this movement are a large number OF we'll

ayowedly non-Christian, acknowledge the

A COMPLETE SUCCESS.
One of the New Furnaces of the Old Dom
inion Copper Co. Blown in.-An In
creased Production of Copper As
sured.

An event Of considerable inter.
est, having an important bearing
upon the copper industry of the
camp, was the starting of the first
of the 100-ton furnaces, recently
received by the Old Dominion
Copper Mining & Smelling Com
pany, from Youngstown, Ohio.
The new furnace was fired last
Saturday morning, and two hours
afterwards we visited the smelters
and were gratified to find opera
tions proceeding as smoothly as
though it was an old story.
The furnace is 34x108 inches in
side the tuyere line, steel sectional
jacketted, two end and two side
jackets so fianged that the rivet
seams are all outside of the furnace.
The blast is furnished by two
No. 5 Root blowers through a 23
inch blast pipe, through IA side
tuyers (seven on each side) and
one end tuyere.

foundation of Stag brick of sub

DIPHTHERIA.

The Layton Primary school has
been closed on account of diph-
liberia IN thatplace.
1t is almost useless to close
schools IN time of diphtheria un-
less parents will take precautlon
to keep children at home and in prop
ell condition to shield them from
the attacks of the disease.
Several weeks of school were
lost last year in number districts
by reason of schools being closed
on account of diphtherla and in
many instances it would have been
better for the children, to have
kept them in school.
II is all folly to take children out
of school to prevent their catching
diphtheria, and then allow them
to play together on the streets, the
child is just as apt to contract the
disease here as in the school room.
Better that they should be in
school six holrs day under the
teachers care than running the
streets during the day and being
out at night, as we know it to be
the case with great number O.
our school children.
We do not wish it understood thai
we are in favor of holding schoo
when there Is danger of spreading
thisorany other disease through this
medium, but we do believe thai
parents should be careful not tC
allow children to play together OF
the streets so long as the presence
of any disease demands that the
schools be closed.
A strict quarintine should be
placed over every home where
diphtheria exists, and 1t should be
maintained until the attending
physician declares there is no more
danger.

Proclamation.
Territory of Arizona.
Executive Department.
To all whom it may concern:

" oll w llOlli IL iiil y SOiiSSiil :
Whereas under an act of the Legislative AS
cembly of the Territory of Arizona, entitled
Elections" approx ed March Sth, 1887 it is pro
vided that there shall be held, throughout the
Territory, upon the Tuesday after The first Mon
day in November A. d. 1888, and every two
years thereafter, an election for members of the
Legislative Assembly, and such other officers
as may be required by law shall be chosen al
such elections.
And whereas it is further provided in said
Act that at least thirty days before each general
election the Governor must issue an Election
Proclamation, under the great seal of the Ter
ritory, and transmit copies thereof to the Clerks
of the Boards of Supervis ors of the counties in
which such elections are to be held. Such pro-

stanuial appearance, the first
Stag brick, we believe, TO be used
in this locality, and which, from
time to time, will be employed,
where practicable, in construction
work around the works.
The Stag is arranged to flow
continuously y through home made
jacketted Stag we'll outside of the
tap hole, which latter is a bronze
water jacket Stag tap; later on a
water jacket Stag tap will replace
the water pipe, brick and clay ar
rangement now used. The Stag
overfowes from the settler into a
launder, or trough, dispensing the
Stag into granules which are swept
down the fume and out to the
creek bottom by the overfowing
water from the jackets.
The continuous Stag flow, and
certainly the granulation of the
Stag, are new and novel features to
many persons here, and contribute
to the ease and celerity in hand.-
ing the furnace economically. AL
though the regular working capa-
city of the new furnace has not
yet been reached, nevertheless it
is turning out copper very fast.
A duplicate of the furnace now
in operation is on the ground, and
the work Of erecting it will begin
within a few days, to proceed in a
more leasurely manner than on
the first one. Some slight modi-
fications will be made, as results
from the present furnace may in
dicate as desirable, the manage
ment being desirous to obtain the
best results possible.
In the meanwhile the other
vacant srace will be occupied by
one of the old Jackets, which will
be blown in as soon as the repairs
are made, and the necessity for
which was the cause Of the shut
down for day preceding the
starting of the new one.
AT the mine the slopes are look,
ing well, and new men have been
added to the force as occasion de,
manded, to preprre for the increas-
ed output that will ensue after a
few months.
| Among the usual and new fea'
lures is the use of anthracite coal
for reducing action in the furnace,
of which about 25 per cent to the
coke is used. The coal comes from
New Mexico and the quality is
very good.
A disagreeable duty of the
management is the necessity of re-
fusing work to so many applicants.
A large number of men seeking
work, have been induced to come
to Globe by exaggerated reports
of increased Operations by our
mining companies. This is to be
regretted as the supply of labor in
this district is in excess of present
requirements. Globe is assured of
growing prosperity and good
times, but the improvement will
be gradual and somewhat slow

GOOD TIMES COMING.

The Southwestern StOckman has
the following good news for the
farmers:
Good times coming! 1t looks
that way! Crop shortages in
Europe, Russia, and the Argentine
are creating an extraordinary de-
mand in England and on the con-
tinent for American produce. Our
exports are increasing so rapidly
that ocean freight rates have
heavily advanced; consequently
tramp steamers are all racing for
our coasts to get cargoes. This
will bring down rates again and
insure abundant means for tran
sporting our surplus to the other
side.
Prices are advancing all along
the line. Wheat and oats higher,
so are tobacco and cotton, wool is
improving, and with last years
extraordinary corn reports now be-
ing doubled even corn is advanc-
ing in the face Of the biggest crop
on record! Reactions are probable
if prices go up too fast, but even if
present values are only maintained
it means millions upon millions of
extra profit to American farmers.

AT the time of the repeal of the
Sherman purchasing act, the gold
bonds of Mexico were worth thirty
six per cent of their face. To-day
they are quoted in London at
eightyfour cents and raising. Mex
leo is a free silver country and the
gold to pay the interest on these
bonds must be purchased with the
despised fifty cent dollar; yet in
the face of all this, Mexico has
more money in her treasury than
ever before in her history.
