The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29

were known as "spenders'' at several of the resorts in that locality.
 Yet all the while to nearby and in- quisitive neighbors these two miners appeared to be simply hermits. They assumed the garb of poverty, snarled like wild beasts at any curious tres passers and drove off interlopers with clubs. They would not permit any one to put a foot on the place under any circumstances. In the near neigh borhood they seemed to want the peo- pie to think that they were poor her mits. When away from home they seemed indifferent.
 This strange life of the two hermit miners in San Francisco was suddenly and sharply changed several days ago. Nelson H. Shoots, the elder man and the original finder of the mine, was taken seriously i'll. His partner, James Demott, tried in vain to patch up his health with the scant medicine supply In the cupboard. Shoots grew worse and Demott was obliged to summon outside assistance to save his sinking partner, so he sent a message to the City and County Hospital. Shoots was taken there at once in the ambulance and then it was discovered that he was dangerously i'll with heart trouble.
 Immediately afterward his partner Demott, disappeared. whether tempor- arily or for good is not known at this writing. With him is the mystery of the mine that has been worked for over seventeen years in San Francisco, for Shoots tells all sorts of stories about it. ln ra6 hnr the seventeen years for nothing; at other times he declares there is plenty of gold there, and laughs knowingly and adds, but you've got to know where to find it.'
 To add to the mystery it Is we'll known that Nelson Shoots was pio- neer miner of this State, and man of great experience in secret methods of handling ores.
 That mining operations were exten- sively carried on by Shoots and De- mott there can be no doubt. Their work shows for itself. At least 300 feet of shafts have been sunk. one of them being about 125 feet deep. The tunnels and drifts will easily aggre- gate over 140O feet A good deal of the work is timbered but most of it is sim ply the rock walls. The timber that Is in is battered and worn as if it had done duty in one shaft and then been taken out and made to do duty in an- other. No ore has been hauled from the dumps for milling, at least there Is no sign of such traffic. In what shape the gold was obtained only the two miners know.
 At the first glance at Shoots on his cot in the hospital I thought the old man was dead, so pale and worn did "a look as he lay back helplessly. He has a strong face, but rather indicative

the ocean beach slope of the city. but through them all and unknown to all their promoters these two experienced miners have been delving sedulously away on their secret mine. There Is no question that they found gold, a man does not stick to a task for over seventeen years without something to repay him. And these two miners paid their living expenses all this while. Once while blasting they injured a
 Spring Valley water main and were as- sessed sS0O0 damages by the court, which they promptly paid. Again, it is well known among their intimate ac- quaintances that they made many big losings at the race track, and they

The exodus Of American tourists from France and Germany and the loss of American trade by those countries are calling out plaints from their hotel keepers, merchants and exporters which are beginning to have an ednoative effect on the newspapers of Paris, Berlin and the smaller cities of their locality, and the auti-American expressions ot
 press and public have diminished somewhat of late. Their lost American trade, however, will prob
 ably not be recovered until long

Ey THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION.

When the decision ofthe Supreme court in the Aigodones land grant case was received last Monday Governor McCord, with his usual vigilance for the best interests of th2 people of Arizona, at once took steps to have 3,220 acres of this choice land set aside for the benefit of the Territorial University. A
 special United States law provides
 for the reservation of seventy section of surveyed public lands as an endowment to the University. Cl
 the seventy sections all but nine
 had been selected previous to Governor McCord's taking office, but 1t Is safe to say that the land selected on the .AIgodones grant Is worth more to the University than ten times the same amount located in any other part of the Territory The reason of the particular value of this land is its wonderful pro ductiveness, easy access to irriga- ton and close proximity to the Territorial prison. Every foot of it can be reclaimed and cultivated by prison labor without the cost Of one dollar to the Territory, and when reclaimed will furnish an annual income sufficient to defray the running expenses of Arizona's chief educational institu ton Water rights ample to cover the entire tract have already heen earned under the prison labor con- tract, which connected with the prison farm makes a Territoria ] ranch of }, 40 acres. The reclama- ton and cultivation of this land will keep the inmates of the peni- tentlary out of d9vilment for some time to come, besides producing a revenue for their own maintenance and the higher elucation of our boys and girls. It must be said to Governor McCord's credit that no opportunity, great or small, 10 further the best interests of Arizona has yet escaped his wa.chful eye, and it IS being recognized, even by the enemies of progress, that a master mind is at the helm Of sate.

Another great discovery has been made, and that too, by a lady in this country, "Disease fastened its cluthes upon her and for seven years she with stood it's severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first desc, that she slept all night; and with two bottles, has been absolutely cured.

When the men of the regular and volunteer armies go into action they will wear attached about their necks tags of aluminium by which they can be identified if found later on the field of battle. In the last war it was often impossible to properly identify the dead soldiers, and thousands were buried in graves marked "unidenti6ed." The war department has prepared this system of Identification, and it has been decided that on each tag shall be the numeral assigned each man On the master rolls, with the letter of his company, battery or troop, and his regiment.

ALGODONEs means cotton. The rich lands of the Algodones grant 1t is said in early days, wherever water reached it, brought forth fine crops of wild cotton. Hence the name given the beautiful valley of the Rio Colorado, which will soon
 be opened as the richest agricultural region on the face of the earth. A frostiess region of perpetual sun shine and flowers, the natural home of the vine and the fig tree, date, orange, lime and pomegranite, and other tropical and semi-troplcal fruits. Yuma city will now soon become the rival of every city in the territory, for the incubus ot the land grant title has been removed ., l. is t0 be hoped q like relief will come to Pima and Cochise counties in the determination of the grant claims in those countics.-5ar.

PROCLAMATION,

Executive Department, Territory of Arizona, Office of the Governor.
 The 30th day of May has by Nation al and Territorial legislation been set apart as apublic holiday and consecrat ed to the memory of the dead soldiers of the republic, who made tender of their lives tbat the Union might live.

OVER THE BAR

Blindly the awkward sea
Comes stumbling over the har,
And the soldier ship SEQ
On the field of the ocean war;
But the signals CLEAN and the dangers
seem
Idle and faint and far.
Blindly the awkward waves
Come stumbling into the bay,
And the old, old sea behaves
Like a babe of yesterday;
But the lighthouse stands 10y the drifting
sands
And the ships are saved to-day.
Blindly the awkward thought
Comes stumbling into my heart,
And old bosom battles fought
Are as play to this new art:
For wilder sea hath imprisoned me.
And the love | cannot impart.
Blndly the awkward words
Keep settling in from afar.
TIL they join, like autumn birds,
In a song that ends the war.
And the words break out in gentle rouf-
And my love is over the bar.
