These ladies are actuatsd by desire to maintain not oniy au institution of benefit to all, bat a retreat likewise 10 those who. ander present condition, are compelled Co wander aimlessly about
 Another motive is the receip, of a communication from Andres CArue- gie, donating $4.000 to this city, con ditioned on the raising of a like amonnt from among our citizens, the same to be deposited in the bank and utilized solely Tor the purposes of public library.
 In speaking to these ladies op the subject of the york before them. and other matters such as the locA- ton of the building, its design and construction they. as ,Eeil as many subscribers, state that the proposed building will be built of stone and brick, and the desire is Go have it located on the northeast corner of the plaza.

The building. con- structed as it will be of hard sna- terial. will beau,ify the plaza aud ornament the town very much. not to mention the fact that it wil bs at all times a pleasant rendezvous for the many.

FROM rHE PLATINUM STRIKE

Charles Borkes is an arrival today 10 Prescott from the Cataract creek country, the scene of the platinum excitement now under heAdway. In an interview with a reporter of this paper he stated that when be left thvTe over 300 men were on the ground, and that every available foot open for location was taken up.
 Mr. Burkes says, in speaking of the reports m general circulation As to the extent of the platinum strata aud the wealth of the same, that there Is no d5ubt whatever but the ore beds are simply inexhaustibls and bonahde assays give absolutely accurate figures. He cites the re- turns received by the Owens broth CTS, who took sample from each of Che seventeen claims owned by them, that were Jumped together, and S@0l.05 per ton n platinum was shown Besides these values, gold and aluminium also exist. Capital lsts from every section ol the coun- try are on the ground, while mining experiGtIkewiSe were coming 10 in great fiUmbers.
 Tbe Oweus brothers were offered Sll9,OO0 for their ground, on a short tine option. but refused. Other tra"sactioDs were also pending.
 ! ne town of Williams IS said to be mply depopulSted, and the route of ravel from that place to the various locations is swarmed with e'rry imsginary conveyance.
 The distance is forty miles from Williams to where the principal claims begin. but by this time, from tbe Siid elslion that seizes the many, Cataract creek. from its mouth 10 its source, is probably plasiered.

 Sessions Ever Held.

The Arizona Teachers Associa- ton wIli hold its regular annual session in Tucson commencing on Tursdsy, December 26 and lasting till Saturday, December 30. In con uection with it will be held the joint county institute.
 Professor 4. J. Matthews, princi- pal of the Prescott public schools. returned yesterday morning from s visit to Phenix, where he went to U.eet and confer with Professor l. D. Boper, of Mesa City, and J. T. Hughes, of Tucson. The former IS principal of tue Mesa school and treasurer of the association, and the latter IS county school superiutend ent oi Pima county. The meeting of these three educators and of- Beer or the association YVES for the purpose oi completing arrange ments for the above meeting.
 They succeeded in obtaining from all railroads north of Phenix rstu ot one fare for the round trip for all who desire to attend the session, aEd from PhenIx to Tucson a rate for the round trip of not to exceed s aad probably less rate was assured. To avoid the night ride or the regu- lar train from Phenix, \ special train will be run. which will leave Phenix on Christmas morning and arrive in Tucson in the evening.
 Tucson is making great prepara- tioDs for the reception and enter tainment of the teachers. As Yav- apai county teachers held their iu- stitute al he opening of the school year they will be deprived of re- ceiving their salaries while sttend- ing this meeting but all other teach CTS of the territory who attend will be allowed their salary the same as .hougL they should teach during the week.
 At this season of the year a triu to Tucson will be a most delightful one and no doubt many of our teachers will attend.

A glimpse at the records of Yav- apai county will demonstrate one very important matter in regard to our mineral resources. It is in the number of corporations formed in the past year to develop miues, and the vast amount of capital sub scrlbed for that purpose. h the aggregate millions of dollars are shown, and on the other hand the area affected encompasses no par ticular locality, but the whole county is favored. In all the years of mining in this county of the past, not excluding the so-cslled good old days of the Peck, Tiger and Tiptop, in a bonaEde and strictly industrial sense the silver era is simply insig nifcant alongside of that to be seen so generally today. From Congress in the west to Big Bug in the east, from Jerome in the north to Castle creek in the south, there is a strong tide beating up against the old dykes that was never before witnessed, and had 1t not been that political conditions to s greater or less extent moulded the resources of the country to fit the changed af- fairs prevailing ln fnsncis, chan nels. We doubt very much if Yava- pal would be blessed as it is today ID either permanency or progress.
 Another feature of the times tu- day in mining that has undergone a radical change is the prominence of this field in copper. Heretofore DO interest or consideration whatavAr

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Mrs. M. A. VickroY Thrown From a Buggy and Killed. and N. L. Grif-
 fin Seriously Injured.

fin Seriously Injured.
 from Tuesdays Daily.
 A fatal runaway accident occurred Monday evening about two miles west of town, the victim being Mrs. NJ A. Vickroy of Alexandria, Vir- giuia Deceased came here about two weeks ago to recuperate her health, and yesteciay afternoon Judge N. L. Griffin, an old time friend Of hers and her husband, took her out for drive. At a point in the road some plsce beyond s. c. Miller's, a small dog ran out at the horses heels frightening the animal and causing it to run away, both oc- cupants of the buggy being thrOwA out. Judge Griffin sustained quite serious injuries, remaining uncon- ssious for two hours. Mrs. Vickroy was thrown so violently 10 the ground as to cause cOncussion of the brain.
 Both of the injured were taken to the Sisters hospital where Mrs. ViekToy died at 9:30 o'clock this morning without having recovered consciousness.
 MT. Griffin, while very badly bruised IS not considered to be in a dangerous condition, unless it should develop that be has susi aimed in- terual injuries which are not yet ap- parent.
 Mrs. NJ. 4, Vickroy is we'll known to all the early settlers in this sec tion, although she has not resided here for about twenty years. Her husband was one of the parties who brought in the machinery for and built the old Bully Bueno mill on Turkey creek, which is said to have been the first stamp mill built in Arizona. The mill was afterwards destroyed by fire and its loss was claimed to have been caused bv In dians. A claim for four hundred thousand dollars was successfully engineered through the court oI claims for the alleged loss of prop erty connected with the mill, the success of il being largely due to the personal efforts of Mrs. Vickroy ! While successful, however, with the court of claims, Mrs. Vickroy met with defeat after defeat in congress as she was never able to get that body to ratify the judgment of the court of claims by making sn ap- propristion for the claim and 1t ha: been pending there for years.
 During the early days she was the owner of the Bully Bueuo mine but years ago failed to perform the an nual assessment work ou the prop erty and the claim was relocated by J. NJ. Uncle Jimmy More, of Kirk land valley. After keeping up his title work for some time he sban- doned it also, and the property re- mained unlocated for a few years when MT. More again located it and proceeded to take the necessary steps to secure a patent for it. Mrs Vickroy instituted 8 contest against the issuance of patent, and while she has been defeateh at every point the patent has not yet issued.
 She was a woman of great intel ligence and possessed Ol wonder ful amount of pc ;E5tisn, and for the past fifteen years has been a we'll known character iu Washington, where she was well known by people ID official circles.

What Does II Mean7

The editor of the Williams News no doubt felt much better last week after delivering himself of the fol- lowing, and may be able to explain ID his next issue just what he was driving at when hs said:
 "A few more assiniue land and Indian agents and tue people of northern Arizona had just as well move out and turn the country and their possessions over to the gov erHment and their greasy pets-tbe Indians. As 1t is now the citizens have DO show whatever to make any improvements, not even the string ing of a telegraph or telephone wire without the consent of the august land department, and, so far as laws are concerned, dare a white man aud B good citizen violate any of the laws he immediately suffers the penalty; but the dirty, treacherous scoun- drels, known by all the night-cap grandmamas of the effete east-as the noble red man and much-im- posed on "nstive American" is free to roam at will, do as he pleasss, and if an attempt is made to thwart his plans, it's all right to murder as many as he wishes; he goes free and unharmed, for his government clothes, feeds and protects him in all his laziness and iendishness."
