Great Opportunities for Prospectors and Investors Near Jerome

JEROME, AriZ., Dec. 26.-(Special Correspondence of The Republican, Although as yet only the higher alti- tudes are covered with snow, the pros pector and his patient companion Jackus Asinus,. are as much in evil dence as at any time of the year. The roads are in fair condition, the hill sides are covered with plenty of succu- lent feed, and the weather has been, up to date, pushing that of Italy for first place. Consequently, the heart of the hunter for the yellow metal is glad. One has only to stand in Je- romes main street for an hour or so and be convinced of the activity among the hills.
 One of the most promising of prop critics in the vicinity of Jerome is that of Winningham & Hull Their mine is located near the head Of Walnut gulch, about a mile from town. They have completed about 400 feet of tun- nel and are now in body of ore which promises all that the most sanguine miner could wish or hope for. The property is such that Mr Dennis Sheedy of the Grant Smelling con-

 for Wonderful Gathering.

WASHINGTON, Dec 26.-Mr Wal ter R. Woodruff of San Francisco, Tnes is staying at the Shoreham hotel jr2 this city, says San Francisco will give the Christian Endeavor conventtorl next year the heartiest welcome it, ever received. The guarantee furd of 1000 was raised long ago. he said. today, 'and if that amount should not be enough the citizens will double it.. The people of San Francisco know thEt the convention will be one of the. greatest advertisements of the state that it ever has had, and nothing will be left undone to secure the attendTnees of as large a number of people tunle the east as possible. We want just such people as the members of .ths.

But leaving self IIs-- terest aside, the people from the sast will, for themselves alone, be most cordially welcomed and cared for [ understand that the committee of a4l- engagements will obtain the lowesr railroad rate that has ever been ob- tained for such purposes, and the Tait- roads can well afford to transport u loss all who want to attend the con- vention for the advertising it would give them.''

HETTY GREENS CALLER.
Brooklyn Crank Who Claimed to be
 Her Son.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 26.-Mrs. Hetty Green had narrow escape last night from crank who pretended to be her son. Mrs. Green and her hus- band have just taken up their quarters in the Hotel St. George.
 It was few minutes after o'clock when the guests of the hotel were at dinner, that a smooth-faced young man, fairly we'll dfessed, w1nt iu and stepped up to the desk.
 q want to see Mrs Hetty Green" he said briskly.
 The clerk handed him a blank card upon which to write his name The man wrote upon the card Herbert and was sent to the fifth floor. where the Greens apartments are. Mean while the young man was ushered in to the hotel sitting room.
 Mrs. Green was not in and MT. Green was in his room. After looking at the card, he told the bellboy to say that he did not want to see the visitor. The bellboy returned and reported this to the clerk. The boy was told to in form the visitor, but when he went into the sitting room the man was gone. Mr. Niblo, the clerk, at once gave orders for a quiet search of the house. This resulted a few minutes later in the discovery of the man. who was crouching in the hallway beside Mrs. Greens door. He was at once led down stairs and asked what he meant by his conduct. Instead of re- plying he bluntly demanded room. The register was pushed toward him, and, seizing the pen, he wrote: "Hetty Greens son, Brooklyn
 MT. Niblo knew that the man could not be the son of the wealthy guest of the hotel, inasmuch as Mrs. Greens only son, Edward, is in Texas. So the clerk sent for Colonel Tumbridge, the proprietor of the hotel. The colo nel quietly took the man by the arm and walked with him to the door. Just as the stranger reached the yes tibule he tried to strike the colonel, but one of the porters seized his arm. Another porter came to the rescue and between them they took the man and swung him far into deep snow bank in Orange street.
 He jumped up again and attempted to re-enter the hotel. He was met by the head porter, who threatened to | call a policeman. The word police man" seemed to terrify the man, and | he went away.
 Mrs. Green returned about an hour afterward and heard the story of her | unpleasant caller. She said it was l nothing at all; that she was used tc
 cranks, and wherever she went they
 were continually following her about and attempting to annoy her one way or another.

Approaching End of Long Drawn
 Foreclosure Proceedings.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 26.-A final decree of foreclosure and sale of the Atlantic & Pacific railroad was filed in the United States circuit court today. This is the last of a series of similar decrees which have been made in suits between the same parties and for the same action in every district in which the insolvent Atlantic & Pacific has property.
 It Is ordered that unless the sum of $2,5S2 ,S43.16 Is paid by the railroad to it's creditors within thirty days, the entire property shall be sold at auc- tion at Gallup, Bernalillo county, New Mexico.

FATAL FIRE DAMP.
Eleven Men Dead in a Princeton, Ind,
 Mine.

PRINCETON, Ind, Dec. 26.-A ter rife explosion of fire damp occurred in the mine of the Maule Coal company, this city, this afternoon and as a re-, suit eleven or more men were instant ly killed, and four were wounded. One of the four men taken out alive is dangerously injured. Besides the dead bodies recovered so far, five or six others, names unknown, are dead in the mine. The dead are: Robert Maule, James Riley, John Riley, John Ernest, Theodore Fabre, David Nolan, Robert Ponylite, James Ponylite, James Krugy, James Turn and John Holmes.
 The mine has been in operation a short time; the air shafts are not quite completed and the gas which collects in portions of the mine was ignited by an open lamp.

pany of Denver Colo, has by bonding it set the seal of success on another Arizona producer.
 Seven claims owned by Joe Tambo rino and two partners, also in Walnut gulch, six miles further south, will all prove the right thing They have a variety of ores, all workable, leaving a handsome profit, which is applied to- wards the development of the proper ties.
 Many prospects in all the incipient stages of successful producers are to be found in almost any canyon and gulch about Jerome. The proof of these assertions may be found in the phenomenal amount of buildings of all descriptions which have been erected in our own city of Jerome, which is, indeed, just cause that complacent eX- pression of conscious pride seen in the face of every Jeromeite.
 Dr. Woods, who bonded the Watson mill and Gold Ring mine in the Cherry Creek district, has also sufficient cause for congratulations. When the doc tor at first took the property it gave
  in, because surface indications pointed to white elephant in place of a pro ducing mine, which it now has turned out to be. The mill is dropping five stamps, with a capacity for ten, and the additional five will soon be doub- ling the output.
 - The Cherry Creek country and the immediate boundaries of Jerome of- fer an exceptional field for the pres pector and investor. It may be safely said that we have a real poor mans country-hills and valleys, rich in precious metals, awaiting the con- sistent, intelligent and ambitious worker. A stake can at all times be made at variety of employments found at the shelter, in and about the town, at fair wages, a month or two of such work enabling any man to pros pect to his hearts content.

ART IN CITY MAKING.
interesting Topic Discussed by
Minnesota Arehjtects, Ins,,..

The regular monthly dinner and
meeting of the Minnesota Chantsr Of
the American Institute of Architects
was held last night at the Aberdeen
when more than a score of architects
from St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Duluth
were present. The Minnesota Chapter
of the Institute, which is purely a pro-
fessional organization, boasts a men,
bership of over thirty, and the monthly
meetings are productive of much bene-
1T to the members.
After discussing a substantial menu
the architects adjourned to the meet
ing room, where C. II. Johnson pre-
sided over their deliberations.
A quantity of routine business was
disposed of with dispatch, after which
the subject of Municipal Art was
taken up for discussion
The matter was treated upon as re-
Ierf1ng to the beautifying of the city
in various ways through parks, boule-
wards, public squares, fountains, and
public buildings together with their ar.
tistic adornment.
Following this papers were read by II
w. Jones, member of the Minneapolis
park commission; Cass Gilbert and C.
n. Johnston, which also came in for
full share of discussion.
1t was explained that the subject of
the evening is one which in a general
way has been given much attention by
similar societies in New York, Boston,
Philadelphia and Chicago, and ]. H.
Jacobson, who has frequently visited
the leading cities of Europe, was called
upon and gave a most interesting talk
on Municipal Art" in foreign cities.
His remarks showed not only careful
observation of the features which go to
make foreign cities so attractive, but
keen appreciation of the advantages
which come to cities with age and
wealth

JOEL AND HIS BARLEY.
He Respects the Congressional Rec

Joel Heatwole, the Northfield CON-

Wole smiled as automatically as the

was asked by G. o b reporter wheth-
Ell recent speech upon barley and the
crisis was delivered by himself or by
his astral body, to use the theosophical
excuse for an alibi.

may be produced on the other side of

given some protection, they will have to
abandon their barley fields altogether.
About England? There's just this.

MIR. PAATT,s CAMPAIGN.

Tom Plat has placed Gov Morton
in the field as his candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the presi-
dency. We know exactly what this
means. One of the good qualities Of
Mr.. PIatt's political method is that
there is no sentimental nonsense about
it. He does not put on airs about
purity and reform, but draws up his
political plans like an architect. Platt
means to dictate the next nomination,
and this time he will see that his price
is paid. Harrison fooled him once.
by promising to him the patronage of
New York state and a place in the
cabinet, and gave him neither Plat
is going to have what he wants next
year. and he will have it in writing.
Of course he has not the remotest idea
that Gov Morton will receive the nom
1nation, nor do we believe that he for
moment desires it. Morton. even
though he has a barrel, is too good a
man for him. He wants to dicker and
date to enable him to choose the New
York delegation. Under the pretense
of Morton's candidacy, it will be easy
to choose Republican delegates from
that state who are subservient to
Platts wishes. Then he can go into
the convention ready to transfer his
chattels for the desired consideration.
1t is particularly interesting to OBJ
serve that Plat hints his entire ig-
norance of the plans of Boss Quay.
They are not in cohoots, oh no. PIatt
is simply bent on getting the nomina-
ton for Morton, and hasn't the remot-
est idea in the world what QUAY is
working for. The popular conclusion.
from the latest move on the board of
the New York boss, would be that
there is a complete understanding be-
tween the INSCRIPTIONS men who now
manage Republican affairs Plat will

name the New York delegates on an
alleged Morton candidacy. Quay will
name the Pennsylvania delegates; and
Elkins will gather in enough of out
siders to make a majority in the con-
vention. Then these gentlemen will
agree upon their man, exact their
price, nominate him, and proceed to
the congenial business of frying more
fat out of the protected manufacturers.
1t is a great game, this. that is being
played under the name of politics, and
it is worthy oft men who are be-
hind it. 1t is only one of the many
indications of the low estate to which
the body that lonceb dubbed itself the
