A peculiar death occurred here last Week. Tomoko, a storekeeper in the camps and singer in the tribe, frenzied with grief at the death of his child com menced the death dance, accompanying it with the singing of dirge and rattIing of gourd Around and around his dead child and in and out among the dusky mourners marched Tomoko. Hours passed and still he kept up his wild in- cantations. Suddenly his form swayed to and fro, one awful groan burst from his lips, and he dropped dead. He had sung his own requiem-Yuma Sun.

Rich in Mineral Wealth.

"There is no section in the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in mineral wealth than the county of Yuma" says the Sentinel. All the country north, east and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. From the San Bernardino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds of extinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the man ocean, leaving it's waters to evap. crate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country bordering the desert, in cluding thIs section, rich mines are be- ing constantly discovered and some of recent location are already producing im- mense profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma claims exceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend great mineral boom for this country which will culminate as early as the coming fall ID an inroad of much capital Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It seems won. derfuI to believe that all this mineral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long distance off into strange lands rath- CT than to seek for mines in a country as old as Yuma county and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hardshps, and the danger, the greater the fascina- tion for the prospector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend entertainment to the view.
 "So it is that this country is almost virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in it's mountains it's mineral secrets are still in effect secrets, for thousands upon thou sands might be wandering through the rock ribbed fastnesses of our mountain ranges and thelr presence be almost un. known so vast is the extent of country.
 Recent rich discoveries of gold de posits, particularly in lodges. have given a great impetus to mining throughout the country. ."-Sentinel.

A great many men throughout
the country, including plenty of
real swell fellows. have. got it
into their heads rightly or
wrongly-and we ARE by no
means sure that it isn't rightly
that there is"no reason why any
man should pay more than $500
to S.. 90 for a pair Of shoes, and
to say the least, the idea has
this foundation in reason, that
excellent shoes are now made for
$500. To pay $500 to S12 for
a pair of shoes is simply throws
ing away money, and in many
cases this is done to crafty a
mistaken notion that none but
your favorite shoemaker is wor-
thy to adorn your feet. The re-
cent improvements in shoe ma
chinery make it possible, as
shown by the well known w. l..
Douglas So. 90 Shoe, to produce
a shoe to-day that will compare
favorably in style, wearing quail
tiles and comfort with those Of
fered at $500, $500 and $40. 90

Acting upon the suggestion of
President Mckinley in a special
message to Congress, that body
yesterday passed a joint resolu'
ton appropriating $500, coo for
the relief of the southern and
western food sufferers. The
President was right. in saying
there are precedents for such an
appropriation. but Mr.. Walker
(Republican), of Massachusetts,
was doubtless equally tight in
declaring that there is no con-
stitutioual warrant for it.
Appropriations of this charac>
ter partake of paternalism, and
are against the spirit of our in
stltutions, even should it be
found that they do not violate
the letter OF the organic law.
However, Congress could hardly
infringe upon the Constitution
for a better cause, aud Certainly,
several times since the war pa
e%rnalism has assumed a much
more fragrant and obnoxious
form than in the present instance.
Under the circumstances no
one ought to object to the ap>
preparation in itself. There is no
harm in it, considered in that
light. On the contrary, it is to
be applauded. But it is danger
Gus as another precedent, and
there is no telling to what
lengths in the matter of tramps
ling the Constitution under foot
the piling up of precedents may
finally lead.-Exchange,

Thrift.

The Legislature of the State of
Washington has arranged for
the submission of an amendme nt
to the people at the election in
1898 authorizing cities and towns
to exempt manufacturing indus
tries from taxation for a stated
period of time. A New England
contemporary refers to this as "a
gratifying sign of the appIecia>
ton of the benefits that come to
communities through encour~
aging industrial activity in a
part of the country where oppo-
sition to thrift has been a leading
principle"
This is the first intimation we
have received that Opposition
to thrift" was ever "a leading
principle" or settled policy in
any part of the country. We have
always supposed that every
State, every community, and all
parties were in favor Of thrift.
The advocates Of every school of
political economy and of every
side of all political issues have
always professed desire to pro-
mote industry and thrift. The
extreme protectionists, the mod
crate protectionists, and the
free traders; the gold standard
and the free coinage men, as well
as the rabid fatists, are all the
professed and, no doubt, sincere
friends of thrift. Each claims
that hispolicy is the best, because
it will best promote industrial
activity and afford the best op
portunities for individual pro-
sperity.
The State of Washington will,
it the proposed amendment is
adopted, follow the good exam
pie set by South Carolina a year
or two ago. It is an adaptation
of the bounty system; for ex>
emption from taxes is the same,
in principle and effect, as the
paying of a bounty equivalent tc
the surrendered tax. We have
little Doubt that the amendment
will be approved by the people,
and believe that its adoption will
be of great assistance in devel.
oping the resources and increas-
ing the taxable property of that
great and richly endowed Com
Post.

GREAT POINT.

Mr.. Bryan, the defeated cam
didate of the Democratic party
for the presidency last Novem>
Der, appeared in the United
States Supreme Court at Wash
ington last Tuesday as counsel
fer the State of Nebraska in a
suit brought by that Common
wealth against certain railroads.,
and IN the course of his argu
ment he made the following
point, which appears to US to
contain d good deal of sound
common sarse
Mr.. Bryan argued that the
courts should not protect stock
and bondholders in attempts to
secure profits on fictitious CAPT
talization. The stakeholder and
bondholder were presumed to
invest with Gheir eyes open; if
they made a mistake it was no
duty of a court to protect them
from the consequences Of that
error. The States were legislat-
ing to prevent fictitious capitali-
zation, but if courts upheld a
right to profits on fictitious cap
itallzation they encouraged it
and quilted the policy Of the
States. If the courts held that
CORPORATIONS must take their
chances like individuals in bust
ness, they would become inter-
ested in and work for those
things which would tend to pro
mote the general welfare. II
there be some who can exempt
themselves from general condi-
lions, there is d temptation tC
them TO endeavor to perpetuate
those conditions.

StateSville Landmark: Mr..
Levi Bost, Of Shiloh township,
died at his home four miles west
of Statesville on the 18th of FEDS
ruary, aged 80 years and some
months. He left a will naming
Mr.. J. S. Norris as executor.
Mr.. Bost owned considerable
land which is not very valuable,
but otherwise he was considered
to be in very moderate circums
stances. He was a hard worker
and lived very economically and
while it was generally supposed
that he had probably saved a
few hundred dollars NOBODY be-
lieved that he had any consider
able amount of money. Last
Saturday Mr.. Norris, the ex-
ecutor, went to Mr.. Bost's house
to- take an inventory of bis as.
sets and Mrs. Bost showed him
where here husband kept his
money. In a nail keg on the
kitchen loft. with a lot of rub
Dish thrown on it, was found a
considerable sum. The wash
board had been removed in his
house and another lot of money
kept on deposit between the
ceiling and the Misunderstanding,
and a number of bills were found
ia books about the house. When
counted the sum total was found
to be 50. 684 "a. There was
$1,367. SO in gold coin, 1912 A in
