J. M. Curtis, of San Francisco, direct or of the Ray Mining company, accom- panied by J. J. Lonergan, of Los Angeles, and Wm. Stewart, of San Francisco, went up to Mineral Creek last week and spent several days ex- amining the properties of the Ray com pany. The experts are said to repre- sent large English syndicate who are looking for copper property, and upon their report will depend sale of the property. What that report will be of course no outsider knows; but enough is known to venture the assertion that the property pleased them. While on the creek Messrs. Lonergan and Stew. art also looked over the claims o1 Messrs. Haley and McCallum, and they seemed surprised to find such well-de- veloped ore bodies, of which so little had been said.

Is Life Worth Liyino.

If there is an individual on earth who is excusable for thus interrogating himself, it is the unhappy mortal who suffers from ma laria in some one of it's diabolfca1 forms. This is no difficult conundrum, however. Life is worth living by any man or woman who enjoys good health, and is not harrassed by reproachful conscience. The malaridl scourge, heavily laid on, is terrible one for the poor sufferer to endure. series of freezings and seorchings and sweats-the last leaving one as limp and as strengthless as a dish rag, are hard indeed, recurring as they do with fendish regularity. Hostetter's Stomach Rftters is the worldwide known preventive and curative of this class of maledies, either in the form of ague and fever, bilious remittent, dumb ague and ague cake. Used with persistence they will rely upon it, eradicate disease from the sys- tenn. They also conquer rheumatism, kidney and bladder complaints, nervousness and dyspepsia, liver complaint and constipation, and renew failing strength.

The Klondyke Mining-camp.
From Harper's weekly.l

The discovery of this new northern bonanza was an accident, as mining discoveries usually are. An old Yukon miner, George Cormac, who had lived for twenty years under the arctic circle, and who had made little money in all this time, went up to the confluence or the Klondyke and Yukon rivers to fish for salmon, which usually run in large quantities in the Yukon River at that point at the end of spring. He arrived at the place in June, 1896. The salmon did not ruin, and hence he had recourse to prospecting in the creeks that empty into the Klondyke few miles above it's mouth. He knew that this terri tory had been prospected by experts, and that their decision was that there was no gold in paying quantities north of the Yukon, and especially in the British possessions, where he then was,
 He travelled up the Klondyke three miles, then made his way through tangled thicAets up a little stream with precipitous sides He had two Indians with him, and the three set to work to prospect in the primitive Yukon fashion
 that is, they cut wood, set fires eTery night on the ground to thaw out the frozen gravel, and each day dug out of the prospect hole the loose earth which was thawed down not over twelve inches by the fire. In this way, in about ten days, they reached bedrock at a depth of fifteen feet, when Cormac was astonished to pan out from the loose dirt near bedrock from fifty to one hundred dollars in coarse gold to the pan. By this time his provisions were nearly exhausted, so he sent an Indian to Forty Mile Post, fifty two miles away, for supplies, he remaining on the ground to prospect further He also sent note to several of his friends in Forty Mile Post, telling them of his discoveries. Several men responded and came up, took up claims, and began to prospect; but it was not until nearly three months had passed before any one came in with an adequate supply of provisions, and with tools to work the claims properly These men soon took out several thou sand dollars worth of gold-dust, and it was the return of two of this party to Forty Mile Post, late in the fall, which led to the unprecedented gold rush to this little camp. Not fifty able-bodied men out of population of 1500 were left in the camp three days after this gold-dust was brought in.

He has travelled all over the Alaskan mining lands, and was member of the party sent out by the United States Govern ment in the year 1889 to make the boundary survey along the 141st meridian. This meridian crosses Forty Mile and the Yukon at the Klondyke, and during the winter the survey was made the party traversed most of the Alaskan and Canadian land included within the territory of the recently de- veloped gold fields.

Not So Green.

The other day 8 Detroit youth who had come home from college for a ytlea- tion took his younger sister out to see baseball game. She is a quiet, de- muro little lass, says the Free Press, with blue eyes and timid manner, and she slipped into her seat in the grand stand as staidly as if she were entering the family pew at church.
 As the game progressed he kindly undertook to explain to her something about it's points so she would under stand at least little about it.
 "Now the man is about to throw the ball, he said. "He is called the pitch CT. The man with the stick in his hand is the batter. He will try to hit the ball, and if he does, he will run to that little bag, which is called base"
 The young mans sister seemed to be quite interested, and listened attentive ly to his explanations.
 Presently somebody hit out a two bagger that went clear through the shortstop, and lit out for first like a wild turkey.
 The young man began to explain.
 "Now," he said, Eff the fielder throws the ball to the man on the bag before--''
 The young man ceased suddenly.
 His sister had sprung upon the bench, grabbed his hat and thrown it into the crowd, and shrieked at the top of her voice:
 "Yah, yah, yah! Wasn't that hot tamalel Ss-ss-ss-sz-zz-zzz-ge that shortstop seine. Go it, Dempsey, you're a peachf Oh, Lordy, what a daisy eutterl Get him a basket whoopee, don't that make your wlhislS- CTS curl? Yah, yah, yai1l7

Hon. M. R. Moore for Auditor.
From the Tueson star.l


 There is a movement on foot 10 have MT. Moore, of Piual county, appointed auditor. There is no better Republi- can in the territory, or perhaps enc better capable of filling the auditors office than is Mir. Moore. He is a most excellent citizen and stands for good government in the widest and fullest aeceptation of the term. But it is more than probable that the auditor will be appointed from Maricopa or Yuma county, from the fact that the auditor is ex-of1icio chairman of the Territorial Board of Equalization, and under the law he must represent one of the four judicial districts of the territory. The members of the Board of Equalization have been appointed for all of the districts save that of Maricopa and Yuma. The present auditor is a resident of Phoenix, and his successor is most likely to be ap- pointed from the same county at all events, from the same judidiaf district. Mir. Cutter. of Bonita, now represents the district which includes Final ooun- ty. However, bIr. Moore might move over to Phoenix or to Ynrnn and make either of those two places his residence. In which event he would be eligible for the appointment. It would be ex- ceedingly refreshing to see an old soldier of the Union recognized. Thus far not one has been recognized by ap- pointment to any federal position in the territory.

His wife sewed the pieces together, hung them over towel roller, and he now wipes his face on them. A local statistician has figured that, by wash ing pair of duck pants six times in a season, woman will get enough crash towels of the ends to keep her family supplied a year. The cost of the towels would be 70 cents at least in two seasons the pants would pay for themselves, and still be yielding crash towels.-[ Exchange.
