SCHOOL BOARD FINANCES.
May Prevent the Erection of n Pro-
pOsed New School Building.

There is no absolute certainty that
the new Nos. 6, Is and 2S school build
ings will be erected at once. Bids from
contractors have been received and re-
ferred to the building committee, but
that body doesn't choose to take the
responsibility of recommending the dis
posa! of large sums of money until the
boarl of controls finances are straight .
ened out little.
There is quite a large deficit this
year. The finance committee is now
engaged IN preparing a definite state
ment Of the situation. Their work
will be taken into consideration
at tonight's meeting of the building
committee. Then 1t may be deter
mined whether to recommend to the
board that one, two or all three of the
proposed buildings shall be erected.

A Prescott, Arizona, Courier, repoE-
ter asked a miner few days ago for
news about bis mine. The miner re-
piled that he did no newspaper mining,
but worked in the ground; which is
good as far as it goes, but 100 men
might work in the ground for ten gem
Eerations and, were it not for the news
papers, no one outside of their imme-
diate neighborhood would ever hear OF
it, They might have the best prospects
on earth, but no purchaser would come
and no outside investment would be at
hand, because the outsider would never
hear of it, without the use of printers
ink to advertise the fact Colorado owes
it's prominence in the mining field as
much to newspaper advertising es to
any other cause. Not TO let the world
know that you have good prospect is
to "hide your light under a bushel"
The newspaper man expects no direct
pay for publishing good news about the
prospect; he expects to put money III
to circulation by attracting outside cap
ital to buy that prospect and work it,
and. if he can do this, everybody will
prosper. II he is not allowed to do it.

Labor Day Proclamation.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,
= ~o,,xs (, ss,x,sI t.fr,eeoE

Ex0cat.ve' epartment.
The laws Of the United States designate the
first Monday in Septem or Of each year as g
legal holiday to lie known. as Labor Day.
When We reflect that labor is the founda-
ton and creator of all wealth; that upon it
depends all happiness and al excellence; that
it is labor that builds UP great states and
carries on the commerce of the world, the
wisdom Of this enactment Is apparent, and
especially is ii Sc when applied TO the people
of our territory who are iaboring to develop
its various resources and establish for them
selves happy homes Our busy and indus
trious communities contain but few drones,
hence nearly all can be classed as laborers-
the mechanic, the merchant, the farmer the
divine, the miner, the lawyer, the physician.
the banker, the teacher and the clerk, as we'll
as he who performs the more severe task of
daily manual labor, are laborers in the best
sense of the word for while many earn Their
daily bread by the sweat of their face and
others by the work of their brain, they are
all toilers.
: general obsarvancs~of the day SO wisely
set apart by congress will tend TO promote
higher appreciation of the dignity of labor
and the great part it is taking in the bu1id-
ing UP OF cur territory, and the great repub-
lie of which we hope soon become a state.
To bring labor of all kinds into closer rela-
tions with itself ard with other interests, to
inculcate a friendly feeling and hearty CO.
operation between labor and capital thus
encouraging good will between al classes OF
the community with a view to pleasant and
reciprocal relations in the great object of
this observance OF Labor Day.
Now, therefore, I, Myron II. McCord, gov
ernor of Arizona, do proclaim and declare
Monday, the sixth day of September, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety seven, a
legal holiday, and do most earnestly recon-
mend that all business of whatever nature,
except such as the necessities of the com
munity require to be carried on, be suspend
ed on that day. that all who desire may have
an opportunity to observe the day in man
ner befitting the Importance of the occasion.
Let us not forget that Labor Day is as i'm
portant and to future generations will be-
come as suggestive and inspiring the reli-
gious and patriotic holidays that our people
so Loyalty and religiously observe,

According to dispatches the specu-
lation in wheat is drawing to close.
1t is now said that the shortage in the
crops Of other countries is not so great
as reported. European buyers instead
Of shipping are selling. If these re-
ports should prove trGe, our farmers
will ba again confined to the home mar
ket. While it is rather tough on those
of other countries who depend on agri-
culture for d living to have failure of
crops, selfshDe5s prompts us to hope
these latest reports are untrue, and

the price of wheat to enable them to

No man knows Alaska better than a.
?. Swineford. He has lived there for
years and was for five years governor
of the territory. He is now United
States inspector of surveyor generals
and district land offices. He says: In
Alaska the luxuriance and virility of
the verdure is due to the fact that the
ground never thaws below depth of
six to ten feet. No matter how hot it
is. the hotter the better, the frozen
ground continually gives up to the
roots of the grasses and growing grains
a life-giving moisture. The Yukon val
ley is like the valley of the Red River
of the North Ia Minnesota, and some
day it will be the finest wheat growing
district in the world. That time will
not come, however, until railroads are
built into the heart of Alaska, although
there are now located along the Yukon
many fine farms, their owners disposing
of their crops to the hundreds of ad-
venturous miners that have gone to the
yukon valley to dig fortunes in gold
from the rich placer mines that stretch
along the tributaries Of that mighty
stream

a quarter of ton Of gold in month.

La Arizona is the first discovery of
photographic rock known in the United
States, says an exchange The rock
used in this country comes from Bava-
ria principally. It varies in cost from
IS to $40 square foot. For the finest
color work the best rock to be found is
used. Comparisons OF the Arizona
rock with that Of Bavaria shows a strik,
ing similarity. It is difficult to distin-
guish one from the other. AS far as
the development work has gone here
the rock appears to be firm and i'll con-
tinuous stratas, which will allow large
blocks to be taken out in an almost per-
feet state. 1t is another Instance of

CARNIVAL OF DEATH.
Cripple Greek has the Worst Record
Of Any Spot Known to Civil
izati0n.

Cripple Greek, Colo, awakes to find
itself famous with grim and CHASTITY
fame. According to the official figures
OF the Coroner, Cripple Creek is the
deadliest spot on earth. It is place
where men "die with their boots on''
more numerously than anywhere else
within the limits of civilization Hu-
man life is cheap indeed there. Mining
is commonly called its leading indus
try, but the undertaking business mus5
run 1t pretty close.
Thetotal population Of Csinple Greek
is not over 5000 At the unusual ratio
o. one adult man to three minors or
women there are not over 1900 adult
men in this death-ridden town. One
adult man out of every six and half.
then in Cripple Greek is booked for a
violent death within three years and 8
half.
Isn't this the toughest town in the
United States? A few comparisons
will prove that it is. Murder is a COM
monplace aud suicide conventional.
Comparing the murder and suicide
figures given by the coroner with those
of the whole United States the result
is startling. There were about 5000
murders in the entire country last year.
The total population of the United
States is about 65, 100000. The murder
rate, therefore, is about one in every
3,125' Of the population per annum.
Cripple Greeks murder rate is eleven
ia 5000 annually. At the killing pace
set in this American slaughter-house
there would be $4,000 murders every
year Ia the United States instead Of
$500 In other words, Cripple Greek
is scoring at least sixteen times as mady
murders every year as the average score
Of the whole country. Coroner MARROW
says nobody has been hanged judiciaIly
for any Of the thirty-eight murders
committed IN Cripple Greek since Jan
aary, 1896.
The suicide returns Of this town COM
pare with those of the whole country
with equally startling effect. The enum.
Der of suicides reported in the United
States averages about 400 per year.
At the Cripple Greek rate of thirteen
suicides per year in population Of
5000, the annual number Of suicides
IN The Cn.ted States would be about
Ii69,O00 In other words, the suicide
ratio OF Cripple Greek to the rest Of
the country is l20 to l.
1t was far safer to be ia the ranks OF
ithe Union armies during our great civil
war than to live in Cripple Creek to-
Iday. In the bloody battles Of that four
years strife fewer men were killed rel
atiyely to the number engaged than
have died by some form OF violence or
other in Cripple Greek in the past three
and half years. The total number of
Union soldiers killed on the battle
fields of our great civil war was 81, 7,05S.
1.-The total number of Union soldiers en-
gagged in those battles was 2,326,53O.
The ratio OF men killed on the field.
therefore, to the number engaged was
about one in every thirty-four ia four
years. The Cripple Creek ratio OF
killed is POI to 5000 every three and
half years, which is nearly one in every
twenty-five. The roar Of artillery, rat
tie of musketry and clash of cold steel
are less deadly than the conditions OF
everyday, peaceful civilization at CriT-
pie Greek, Colorado.
