A SIMPLE CEREMONY.
Hobart and Frye Thanked and the Senate
Adjourned.


Washington, July Sin a manner 80
simple as to be almost ~perfunotory the
senate at 2:06 this afternoon adjourned
without day.
II had been agreed when the senate con-
yened at noon that the house resolution
providing for the adjournment of congress
at 2 o'clock should be adopted and that
an executive session should be held to
confirm the nominations in the military
and naval establishments. No other busi-
ness except of the merest routine nature
was transacted. The arrangement was
carried out to the letter.
For nearly an hour previous to adjourn
ment President Mckinley and all the
member of the cabinet except Secretaries
Day and Long were in the speakers room
adjoining the senate chamber. During
that time the president signed a large
number of engrossed bills, many OF
which would nave failed had II been nee
essary to send them to the executive man
sion for his signature.
Mr.. Morgan of Alabama opposed the
proposed adjournment, maintaining that
II would be far more desirable for con-
gress to take a recess until the first Mon
day in September. He urged that the war
with Spain seemed TO be dra wing to a
conclusion and insisted that II was the
duty of congress to remain in session, as
questions of gravest consequences might
be precipitated at any moment. He urged.
too, that a treaty of peace with Spain
might soon demand the attention of the
senate.
Mr.. Allen OF Nebraska spoke in a sim
liar strain. and stated also that the CAL
endar was crowded with bills of an i'm
portant character.

SOME MINING NEWS.

In talk the other day between some
we'll known mining men, in relation to
the mineral deposits in Arizona and
the depth the paying ore was found
in our richest mines, the following in
tereSting facts We're elected and noted
down at the time.
The United Verde mines at Jerome,
with shafts and drifts on it 100 feet
deep, was offered for sale for four
years without buyers; at last w. Y.
Clark, of Montana, took the property
and after sinking to 800 feet he had
% feet of solid ore and at 500 feet it
is reported the ore body is 30 feet wide
Clark has refused $4,000, 600 for this
mine.
The Congress mine at $50 feet was
considered as a fraud by no less a per-
sonage than Diamond Joe, but at 800
feet was a bonanza and now at 800
feet is held for 100000
The Fortuna mine at $50 feet was
bought by Chas. Lane for $4,000;
now at depth of 600 feet you could
not buy it for S3.OOo,OoO.
The King of Arizona was sold for
but $4,000 when at a depth of 100
feet while today With depth of 800
feet it is held ait S1,000.000.
The famous Copper Queen mine at
Bisbee at a depth of 200 feet, was
about to be sold for debt. Now at 800
feet it has sufficient ore in sight to run
so years and money cannot buy it.
The Crowned King mine was S23, 900
in debt when down 165 feet. Now at
a depth of 500 feet, debts all paid and
regular dividends declared, it cannot
be purchased for less than $1,000,O00.
The Pearce mine was sold for $215,-
600 when a depth of $50 had been
reached; it is now producing S2oO,OOO
annually and is not for sale-Frontier /

A "REMINISCENCES.
Or n Dirty Irish Trick.

Ii was in the arly days of Jerome,
there was noe hurch and no preacher,
and when occasionally Il minister came
over from Prescott, the boys for the
sake of mothers way would go up TO
the little box school house and contrib
ute in every way possible to the sue
cess of the services.
Among other matters we would form
a choir of ten or fifteen masculine
voices. and our work was enthusiastic
if not classic One 240 pound Dutch
man whose name began with Ben and
vastly more matter than mind, imag-
ined that he could sing. He had a
voice at once the terror of all queit cit
liens and the enemy of every burro
in five miles of camp, and he raised it
on all occasions in season and out of
season We finally concluded that we
would crush this melodious monstroS-
lfty and that any means justified the
end.
Phoenix weekly herald. [volume] (Phoenix, Maricopa County, Ariz. Territory) 1896-1899, 1898-09-29

The next Sunday morning at II a.
nj. thirteen of us including Ben found
ourselves braced up behind as many
Methodist hymnals with a Slim 'but
appreciative congregation in front of
us. We started out by plunging into
the diapragm of "Buela Land" we
We're all singing loudly, and Ben a lit
tie louder, when just as we came to the
climax in the chorus where Ben was
splitting his epiglottis in the effort to
distinguish himself, every rascal in the
crowd stopped leaving Ben yelling
"Bue1a Land till he could be heard
down to the Verde. One supreme yell
and his voice sank suddenly like the
outline of n top. We had to laugh,
then the ladies blurted out. and finally
the preacher guffaued, while Ben stole
quietly out and armed himself with a
bullion bar.
After that if anybody was hankering
for disturbance a mere mention of
''Buela Land" in BenlS presence would
supply him without delay.

troop, Rough Riders and special cor
respondent of the DAILY HERALD,
returned last night on the train from
the north He is shaking hands today
with a host of friends who are pleased
to see him safely home again though
his general appearance is more Ike
that of Il reconcentrado than a fat
sleek wellfed newspaper man. He
seems to possess his old time vim, is
1.-THE and active as a rough rider should
be and is still fondSOf a joke but lit
tie reconoittering in the region of the
belt then up along his beam and gen
eral frame work reveals the unmiStak-
able evidence of a long felt want, or
several of them. He does not appear
to have been in close touch with the
cOmmisary department for any extend
ed period and in fact the general indi-
cations are that his main pull has been
with the medical branch of the service.
His emaciated appearance however
is partly made up for by comedy mus
tache which seemed to thrive in a trOp
ical cline Corporal Gregory has in
truth withstood the Cuban campaign
very well, in fact better than his
friends had feared. He knows cOnSid-
erahly more about war than he did a
few months ago and IS real glad his in

than it has though he took his share OF
the aftermath in the hospitals after
the smoke had cleared away and play
fully sported with tropical fever trans
planted to ST. Mary'S hospital in New
York. He says with temperature of
104 and upwards it was real amusing
to have an attendant throw him into
an ice water bath and curry him down
with a big chunk of ice. He speaks
however, in highest terms of the nuI-s-
es and attendants in the hospital who
We're universally kind to him and did
all possible to drive dull care from the
sick room. He is hardly recovered as
vet from the effects of the fever but
with a few good Arizona beefSteakS
fastened to his ribs be will soon as
sumo his old time rotundity. AS to his
personal experiences little will be said
at this time save that he was through
the whole campaign, took part in the
gallant charges of his regiment, suf-
fered as they suffered and with them
enjoyed the honOrs of victory bravely
Won.
He was to have written his own in
terview today for the readers of the

ENTERED INTO REST.
Miss Sheriff Answers the Death An
gels Final Summons.

Miss Elizabeth Sheriff died this
morning at 1890 O'Clock at the resi-
dence of Z. J. Barley cornerof Fourth
avenue and Monroe street, of typhoid
fever, aged 81. The deceased was one
of the most popular and beloved young
ladies in Phoenix or for that matter in
the Territory for though her residence
in Arizona has not been long she has
spent a portion of the time in adjoining
towns and made the acquaintance of
Il large number of our people. She is
Il sister of Mrs. I. J. Barley and leav
es as well a mother and n brother in
Phoenix to mourn the loss of a devoted
daughter and loving sister. Upon the
advent of the warm weather she went
to Prescott to spend the summer and
it was in our sister city that she was
first taken with the dread fever that
caused her final end. She returned
here about ten days ago in very poor
health and instead of the rapid recov-
cry so sincerely hoped for, her decline
has been gradual and constant until
the final summons which called her
from earthly scenes to the land of eter-
nal rest.
Miss Sheriff. has been a resident of
Phoenix for about three years and dur
ing that time she has been the light
and happiness of an extended social
circle, a universal favorite and one
whose presence has prompted but the
kindliest thoughts and the most pleas
ing influences. She is a native of Ken
lucky where she spent her early life
and possessed the charm of person and
manner which made her a favorite
with all who were so fortunate as to
form her acquaintance. 1t is under
stood that interment will be temper
arily made in Phoenix and that the re-
mains will later be removed to her for
mer home in the sunny southland. The
sympathy of the entire community
is extended to the bereaved relatives
and friends in their hour of sore afflic- |
ton.
