.aUncIr Tomn Holland.

"Uncle Tom" Holland, who owned the Castle creek hot springs for so long, and who lived there all those years, now that he has sold them is none the less enthusiastic over the merits of the waters of that famous resort. He says that any one suffer ing with rheumatism pr skin and blood disease who will go there and bathe freely in the waters. as well as drink copiously of 1t, will surely be cured.
 In an Outburst of enthusiasm, in conversation with a JOURNAL-MINER representative, about the curative powers of the water, he said: Why, II some Of these chronic kickers were to go there and spend a couple of weeks and bathe ft0m five To ten times a day and drink the water, they would not know themselves. and would cease their kicking"
 Mir. Holland Is a good example himself of what tie waters will do for a man. Ha Is alrea:y past the three score and ter years of age allotted to mau. but the fire in his eye. the color iu his cheek and the elasticity Of hls step, as well as the jovial disposition he possesses, Is the envy of many a younger man.
 Uncle Tom l. a great joker, and speaking of LIs age, reminds the writer of an answer he gave to a question asking how old he was. His reply was, Well, II l live to the close of the the Twentieth Century. 1 will be l75 years old"

He was an excellent lawyer in his palmy days, both criminal and civil, and had amassed a fortune of S250,O0O. This has all been dissiPated. For some time he has been absolutely friendless without a friend in the world to lend oelping hand. Many of his former companions are dead and the rest have no use for the man without money or health, and as last resort. and in desperation, he applied for admission 10 the alms- house, where at least he can find shelter.

There is only one way now in which Corbett can be recog- nized, and that is to go and lick Maher. FitzsimmOns has licked Maher twice, and We fail to see how Corbett IS bit better than any Of the other has beens Corbett has kept Fitzsimm0ns waiting five years for a fight. We simply say, 'gO fight Maher" Corbstt doesn't want Co fight Maher, much less FitzsimmOns. He has just as much intention of fighting FitzSimmOn5 or Maher as l hove Of falling dead.

 On Wednesday. Jan. 5, Governor McCord issued the following call for a miners convention:
 In compliance with many re quests and in response to the sug- gestion made by several newspapers of tho territory, and believing that q free interchange of views and united action of those interested would result in much good to that important industry in this territory, l deem it best to invite those inter ested in mines and mining in this territory to meet at Phenix, ArizO- na, on tue 25th day of January 1898, at , o'clock of that day, for the pur- pose of taking such action relative to forming a mining association as shall seem wise and expedient. This call is without authority of law, but as nearly all western states have such organizations, which have re suited in much benefit to the inter est, have taken the liberty to take the initiative by issuing this call.
 II do not deem it wise to specify how representation for the conSen- ton shall be arranged, any further than to invite each camp to send as many of its representative men as 1t desires, and further, that all who are interested in mines or mining, to be present. The fairness and good sense of those present will un- doubtedly adjust all questions as to representation, fairly and satisfac- torily. Very Respectsully,

 Governor Of Arizona"

A Fnroritr CaIendar.

With the approach of new year most people discover t le head of a new calendar. This fact accounts for the number of these articles that burden the mails at this time. Among them all the one which suits us best is that published by N. w Aver & Sons, Newspaper and Maga- zine Advertising Agents, Philadel- phia. The 1898 edition has just ar rived and been put in commission. Perhaps it's chief attraction is that the figures are clear enough to be read across a room. It Is, however, a most handsome specimen of the printers art, while its business talk always interests business men. We are not surprised to learn that the edition has been doubled in recent years. Its price (25 cents) includes delivery by mail to any address in perfect condition.

In his decision" says the Gazette, ''he did not pretend to say that the bonds issued in 1885 were originally valid He cited various legislative enactments, however, authorizing various county bond issues, as showing the temper of the people at that time. He said it was not nee essary in refunding this class of indebtedness that there should be a demand from the board of super visors. As the bonds are owned by innocent purchasers, the commission has the right to refund, provided the bonds are legal under the fund ing act. IL was not necessary that the bonds should be funded prior to January l, 1897, as contended by the plaintiff. but that tke restriction applies to the indebtedness prior to that time, and not to the time ID which the bonds may be refunded. Chief Justice Street held that the bonds had been validated by the congressional enactment of June 6. 1896

 With palpitating heart, the cash surplus of the newspaper treasury was gone through, and each indi vidual bil was carefully scTutinized and examined to see whether il might not prove to Oe one of those dangerous cOunterfeits. There were just five bills Tn the whole inventory and each was of the denomination of one hundred Our heart beats were becoming less frequent and less pronounced, as we became satis- fed of their genulneHsss, and a sigh of relief was given vent to as this feeling of satisfaction gave way to that of assurance.

A story wIth Q Moral.

Less than two years ago a man and bis wife in Baltimore borrowed $50 from a loan company, giving their household goods as security, and a number of interest notes which obliged them to pay as in terest S2S for every SIX months. They have already paid SS5 5O iu interest, but as they still owe Si9.50 interest. as well as the principal, the creditor threatened to seize the furniture. The courts can do noth- ing. and in order to save their fur niture, they wilt have to pay back the original $50 and Sl35 for the two years use of it.-New York Tribune.
 The moral to the above is never to borrow money and bind yourself to pay a big rate of interest.
