CENTER OF MINING,
Mining Men Ask Why Phoenix Does
 Not Have Mineral Exhibits.

'I do not believe that this city ap- preciated the fact that it is the center of a wonderfully rich mining coun- try" said a mining man who is stop ping at the Ford hotel 'I have seen but one exhibit of minerals in the city, and had to go into saloon to find it. I do not object to going into a saloon and I do not mean to say that a min eral exhibit in a saloon will not be seen by mining men coming here from abroad-but was surprised to find no public mineral displays in the hotels and the chamber of commerce. I don't believe you folks know what you have back in the mountains. In my state I heard Phoenix spoken Of by Arizona's friends as the Denver of Arizona If it wants to hold that synonym it must adopt some of Den ver's ideas. There you will find ex- hibits of minerals everywhere from the smallest beer saloon to the largest hotel. Strangers coming to Denver can get a pretty good idea of what there is in the hills from these exhib- it's. Every school boy is familiar with Colorado ores, and he can tell you all about them. There is every reason to believe that Phoenix will be the Denver of the southwest some day, but there will be a much better chance of this happening if the city will take some lessons from Denver's early his tory"

days old moon hung low in the west. Councilman Dyer having heard no announcement of the go at the record was crossing the street contemplating the infant moon over his left shoul- der and speculating upon what particular form bad luck would assume during the ensuing months. Then there was @ collision The councilman was rolled in the dust, the bicyclist few into space and re- turned to earth, alighting On his nose So far as could be ascertained in the darkness the wheel was uninjured Nobody else was hurt much, but the in cident furnished the councilman food for reflection. He is a patient and long suffering person. He does not believe that his official position should have saved him from that encounter, nor does he believe that it was any more serious than if a private citizen had been similarly run down
 The bodily pain, as has been stated was insignificant, the humiliation was nothing. The worst feature Of the matter in the opinion of the council man was the unpleasant surprise that such a thing should happen at all in Phoenix where a prohibitive O dinance on the subject is in force. Without this pretended protection pedestrians would be on their guard and then in the event of a casualty would blame nobody but themselves and<the wheel men who collide with them.
 The councilman laid his view in the matter before the police, so that it is likely that another epidemic of raids upon unlighted wheels will follow
 Wheelmen on their part say that the bicycle lamp ordinance is the most useless anti-bicycle legislation ever enacted. The lamp is necessar- fly small and the light is dim. No man will ride a wheel on night so dark that even his outline cannot be distinguished, and an outline is more plainly visible to a pedestrian than the Junebug light is.
 The wheelman is always blinded and confused by it so that he receives his first warning of an obstacle in his path by coming into contact with it. The light, they say, might serve to show horsemen or drivers of vehicles coming from an opposite direction the approaching wheel. But the wheelmen say there is no instance on record of a driver turning out for a bicycle On the contrary, he will invite collision. The wheelman cannot turn out for his vision, obscured by the winking light which uncertainty Eliminates his path only a few feet in front of him, he only learns that a buggy is coming when he gets tangled up with the horse.

AFTER CAPITALISTS.
Grant and Linton Have Gone to New
 York for Rio Verde Money.

Messrs. Grant and Linton of the Rio Verde Canal company yesterday left Prescott for Greater New York, where they will make an effort to get capital to complete the construction of the Rio Verde canal. These gentlemen are we'll known among men of wealth in the east, and there is every reason to believe that they will be able to raise sufficient money to resume work on the canal. AS The Republican stated several days ago. it will be some time before the matter will take definite form.
 s. R. H. Robinson said last night that the Rio Verde canal would be built, and work would begin soon. How soon he could not say, but he did not think it would be delayed very long. He said that Messrs. Grant and Linton were confident that they could bring the enterprise through success fully, and it was only a matter of a short time. They will be absent in the east for several weeks. Nothing will be known in regard to the Rio Verde for at least three weeks.

SAWED WOOD TOGETHER.

The Washington Post prints the following interesting item:
 "Over twenty years ago. said Edi- tor Dunbar of the Phoenix, Arizona, Democrat 'I was associated with Ed ward A. Moseley, now of Washington, in saving lumber in Maine. I met MT. Moseley yesterday for the first time since I migrated west, and found him full of the intense activity that characterized him in his earlier days. He was a hustler in those times, and infused a spirit of activity into his men that caused his mill to get repu- tation for turning out more stuff than any other on the Kennebec river
 ''He had a host of big, brawny fel- lows in his employ, mostly Bangor men, and there were lot of scrappers among them. Moseley was himself a lover of the manly art, and it was a common thing for him to adjourn work to umpire a rattling fistic en- counter between two of his mill hands. When the question of muscu- lar superiority was settled, everybody would resume work as though no in- terruption- had happened.
 Whenever a circus hit the town the boss would buy tickets for his whole force and there would be no lumber sawed that day. It resulted in making him immensely liked by his employees and they never failed to respond when he called on them for extra exertion.' '

HE WAS HANDICAPPED.
A Man Who Would Have Faraded if
 He Could.

There was a lcok On his face dc noting any other than a kindly feeling toward his fellow men. As tte band passed in review before him the in creased curl of his upper lip betole no appreciative chord in his nature The giittering gold lace of General R. Allyn Lewis and the officers of the staff seemed to ia- tensify the already almost-beyond
 endurance feeling with which it was SC apparent he was strugg ing. AS the bold soldier laddies evenly and gallantly marched along. keeping reg ular step to the inducing strains of the band, his nose tilted higher and higher The few whose attenticn te had attracted seemed to sympathize with him out of simple pity for his very evident suffering And they won dered why he had come out to subject himself to such distress. And they wondered more why 1c was that he did not go away before the strain became so great upon him. The last little Indian boy went hurrying along in vain endeavor to dress up" with the rear rank. The citizens in car riages, on horseback and awheel, the fnis of every parade, went by and still he stuck to his post, merely turning his head so that the curled lip, tilted nose and contemptuous eye might see the last of it. One who had been an interested observer of the entire scene and with more curiosity than polite ness, approached and ventured the in terrogatory: You don't like that kind of think, do you?" Like a flash of the most modern kind of a smokeless explosive the heretofore apathetically scornful appearing person calculated: Don't like 1t! Do I look or act like man that didn't like it? You must be a poor judge of human nature if you take me for a man who don't like that kind of thing. Why, sir, it has been the one absorbing sorrow of my entire time of life that have not been able to don a uniform and march be- hind a band through the streets of my country. I love a uniform of any kind, sir I love music, particularly martial nlusic, sir. I love parades of all kinds, and by jings, sir, if it had not bsca for the fact that I was all most born without one leg. havin 2 lost one at the age of six, I should have been a parader all my life, sir. All my life" As he finished he struch the pavement indignantly with his wooden button and stumped off. All of which goes to prove that one can not always judge by looks.

AN AERIAL LEDGE.
A Mining Episode Recalled by the
 Visit of MT. Schneider to Phoenix.

Schneider of Tucson, who has lived in this territory almost as long as any other white man, was in the city yesterday after an absence of sev- eral years. He was here before there was any Phoenix and has seen very little of the place since. He was greatly pleased with the metropolitan appearance of the city and particu arly with the patriotic demonstrati on. MT. Schneider unites the business of cattle raising with that of mining but he is more Of a miner and prospector than anything else. There isn't a mineral region in Arizona with which he is not familiar.
 Speaking of MT. Schneider and min ing is remindful of his connection with the famous Rescue mine in it's early days. A fortune had been blown into 1t by an unskillful and uninteIli- gent management, though a much larger fortune was afterward taken out. For long time large force of men was kept drifting about apparent ly avoiding 1edges and ore bodies with the greatest care. At the time MT. Schneider went to work a great deal of time and money was being spent in drifting in an easterly direction from the bottom of a ninety foot shaft, through all kinds of formation except mineral He figured that it would not be long until the hole t-ey were mak- ing would come out on the mountain side and he spoke to the superintend- ent about it. He pointed out that if any ore were found it must neces- sar1ly occupy so small an area that
 it wouldn't be worth fcoling with. When the superintendent spoke of an expected ledge, MT. Schneider pointed out that whatever ledge was found would most likely come to an abrupt
 end as soon as the tunnel reached
 daylight. If, however, it should ex- tend out into the atmosphere, there
 would be no way of getting at it
 since there would be no ground for the miners to stand on. If they had wings they might hover about the
 aerial ledge, break off the ore and let it fall down into the gulch below, whence it would be recovered with
 great difficulty. The superintendent
 saw the force of MT. Schneider's reasoning and began drifting toward
 the heart of the mountain In a few
 days big ore body was discovered, } some of which showed 5000 ounces

THE SENSATION

that is being caused is that a great many people are just be- ginning to find out that they are, and have been paying too much for groceries. The few who are trying to conceal this fact are some of the Longtime" big profit grocerymen, who buy on time and pay big profits on goods and who have to make it up on their customers. ''It is astonishing" that so many bright, "up-to-date" people will be "gulled" this way month af- ter month, simply on account of the convenience of having an account, and their paying for some other fellows goods, that were charged to you by mis- take, besides big profits. There are people in this town that will "sit up" half the night trying to figure out some way to save money and still keep right on trading on credit when they can pay the cash as well as not. Try the new way for awhile, and then if not satisfied, all well and good-go back to the old system. Don't go to some flake" cash store to try it; go to a store who pays CASH for everything and sells it the same way. Don't think you will save six dollars on ten dollar bill of goods, but you can rest as- sured you can save ten to fifteen per cent on your grocery bill every month in the year. This is why Kellner's Cash Store is always busy. Be sure you get to Kellner's.

Lives Saved Mt Fire for the First
Time by .'Horsed-Escape."
Gondon News.)

Flames had broken out upon the very
extensive premises Of Messrs. +. Tautz
q Co., wholesale tailors. at 4S5 Oxford
street. and in short space of time fire
of great magnitude was blazing. The pre-
misses cover a large area and are Of
modern structure. They are bounded by
oxford street, North Audley street,
North Row. and a narrow thoroughfare,
and they extend nearly fifty yards back
ward from the main thoroughfare, and
they are about twenty-five feet wide.
The main premises in oxford street are
six floors high. but the back buildings in
which the fire first broke out, vary in
height. and are in some cases three, and
in others five. floors high When the fire
began there were three persons sleeping
on the premises-the foreman, Mr.. Harry
Smith. aged 80. his wife. Amy, aged 80,
and their 6-year-old boy. Arthur. Mr..
Smith was awakened by dense volumes
of smoke filling the room. and he at once
aroused his wife and took the child in
his arms. They essayed TO descend by
the staircase, but were driven back by
the flames. TIE only course left open to
them was 70 go 10 the front of the build
ings. shutting the doors behind them as
they went. This they did. and presently
appeared AT the second-hoOr windows,
facing oxford street, shouting loudly for
help. BY this time a fierce fire was
raging at the back of the premises. and

the flames had spread to a large ware
house belonging to Messrs. Peal & Co.

used as mandatory, offices, and stores.

suited in the turning out of the horsed-
escape from the district headquarters
When this appliance arrived at the scene,
there was no sign Of fire in Oxford
street. and the firemen were directed 20
North row. The firemen tried to get INTO
the back part of the building to search
for inmates but were driven back by the
flames. In the mean time, another fire
alarm had been pulled into the Great
MarlbOrough-Stre Fire Station, and the
men with the horsed-escape from this
station having a clear run up oxford
street. came to the front part of the
premises. just as the Smith family were
appealing for help at the second-noor
window. A scene of intense excitement
followed. Without losing a moment,
Fremen E. Mills, w. It. Willis, w. j. X.
Willis, and G. j. Howes ran the ladders
from the escape up TO the building, and
brought down all three persons safely 20
the ground. There was much cheering
from the considerable crowd which had
already assembled. Mrs. Smith had been
burned on the left leg. Her husband and
son were uniniured.

Collections in the Schools.
Baltimore American.)

On two occasions within the past
few months have the pupils in the pub
lie schools Of Baltimore and other cities
been called upon for contributions 10
special funds. The first fund was for
the purpose of erecting a memorial to
the American sailors who were killed on
the Maine, and the second for a monu-
ment over the grave of Lafayette. Both
were of a patriotic nature. and there
was very little objection made in this
city to the method employed for rails
ing the money. The Lafayette + had
the approval of the President the
United States and Of many of the lead
ing statesmen Of the country who held
that it would be a good fdea to let the
school children Of America feel that by
these contributions they had done honor
to a hero and paid a debt which the
country owed to the brave French patrio'
and lover OF liberty.
In a number of cities very emphatic
objections have been made TO this prac
tice. and several prominent educator
have taken a very decided stand against
IT, Among these is the Superintendent
Of the public schools in New York
Some Of the objections are Of a very
trivial character, and are unworthy o.
consideration. There IS however, some
ground for the protest that when sucf
a plan is proposed each scholar feel
il a duty to give something and is yer
apt to conclude that his gift should
be at least as large as that Of any other
scholar. The parents of some of the
scholars are we'll able TO give their sons
and daughters the money asked, but
that is not always the case. and there
may be times when such a contribu-
ton is real sacrifice on the part OF
the family.
While we would not enter any pro-
test against the practice. yet it would
certainly be wise not TO carry It too
far. The contributions that have been
made were for good objects, and cheer
fully given. II would be well for the
school commissioners to act with dis
erection in the matter, and not allow
such collections to become so frequent
as to entail any heavy burden Of ex-
pense on the scholars or on their
parents.

The best of assurance of peace between
France and England is the fact that. OF
the 500 100000 French exports. 1854 900 900
find sales in English markets. An Anglo
French war would destroy this trade in
France. With especial severity would the
blow fall upon the French agricultural
interests In the north. Here gardening
is carried on extensively for the supply
Of the English markets with vegetables.
The French wine and silk industries would
suffer seriously. but English industries
would not escape from the evil effects
Of the war.
As most OF the French imports are paid
in English exports. IL is fair 10 assume
that the loss to them would amount 10
something like S26i, 100000. But the loss
10 France would not be limited to the
figures already given. SO much superior
is the English navy to the French, that
the former would. doubtless sweep the
latter off the face of the ocean in short
order. Upon the heels of this calamity
would follow the English seizure OF all
the French Colonies in every part OF the
world.
