An exchange says: We look into a cradle and behold crying male babe. At the age of ten he is a noisy kid with half the buttons off his pants and an eye for meanness; at fifteen he is the devil in the print shop, at twenty he is the publisher of a country news paper, at the head of every enterprise calculated to improve the town or enrich the business men thereof; at thirty-five he's an emaciated worn-out man with bald head and holes in his pockets. and at fifty he's 8 corpse in a cheap coffin and his only resources left behind two cases of long primer, 8 Washington hand press and sub scription book with 678 delinquent subscribers, who line up and march past his coffin saying, "He was 8
 public-spirited fellow, but he could
 never save anything"

RECOMMENDATIONS.
Territorial Teachers Association Com
 mittee on School Law.


 That we have compulsory law, compelling parents to send their chil- dren from to IA years of age to school.
 That trustees be not allowed to contract with teacher who has not at the time certificate in full force and effect.
 That the county superintendent be not allowed to grant more then one second grade certificate to the same person.
 That the fixing of the hours for the opening and closing school and for in- termission be left to the discretion of the local board of trustees; provided, that there shall not be less than i've hours of active school work in the grammar grades exclusive of intermis- sion, and not more than six hours in said grades, exclusive of morning and afternoon recesses.
 That the territorial board of edu- cation be composed of the governor of the territory, superintendent of public instruction, president of the territorial university, principal of the normal, superintendents or principals of the three largest towns or cities in the ter ritory
 The following recommendations of Superintendent Snowman were also adopted: That the rate of taxation for school purposes should be raised so that each district may have an eight months term. Teachers should have better salaries. The law permitting the renewal of second grade certificates should be repealed. Temporary cer- tifiicates should not be issued and the law in this respect amended. The col- lection of poll tax should be more rigidly enforced. He thought no one should be allowed to vote unless he paid his poll tax. He recommended that at least one high school should be established in each county. The act of 1895 should be amended and strength ened. The law regarding the leasing of school lands is defective, and should be amended, giving the power of granting leases to the ter ritorial board of education instead of the various boards of county supervis- ors as at present. The salary of the county school superintendent should be increased; also that of the terri torial superintendent, and that $500 instead of $500 be appropriated for sup plies. He also was of the opinion that $500 should be appropriated for the printing of uniform course of study.

Arizona Stands Fifth in Line Fos Gold
 Production.

Arizona continues to stand fifth in the tine of gold prodseihg states and ter. ritories. We are only excelled in this line by California, Colorado, sfoniana and South Dakota. The time is not far away when this territory will stand at the head of the line. A rath- CT surprising thing, considering the amount of booming that has been done is that Arizona has produced fifty per, cent more gold in the past year than Alaska, and yet Arizona has gone about it in quiet business-like way without particle of excitement and no misrepresentation of any kind; without rush either of capital or miners. More than that, Arizona has merely begun the development of her gold mines.

A Cripple Creek dispatch says: The year closes in Cripple Creek with one of the biggest gold strikes ever made in the state. Ore has been found on the $50 foot level in the Monument mine on Battle mountain, which assays $40, 900 per ton for the run of the pay streak, while big specimens run as as $l50,O0O ton. The strike was made by William Everett, lessee. He opened pay streak about four inches wide which is almost pure metal. Several specimens were taken which run better than $l50, ,OO0 per ton, while the entire vein assays $48, 900 or better. The Monument was opened up about three years ago by Boston man who had never had any mining experience. It has always been good paying prop erty, although the streak has been so narrow that it has been worked with great difficulty. The new vein will undoubtedly make the Monument one of the biggest mines of the district,

Special Correspondence.l

improved and augmented, and SIX new
stations have been equipped and COM
missiohed. There has also been great
improvement in the means of communi
cation by wire and signals between the
stations, particularly on the Atlantic
and gulf coasts, until now there is al
most continuous signal line from
Quoddy Head. ON the easternmost coast
of Maine, to San Luis, on the Texas
coast of the gulf of Mexico. This was
brought essentially about through the
exigencies of the war between this
country and Spain. The government
realized at the outset the necessity of
line of signal stations along the Allan
tic and gulf coasts SO equipped and dis
tributed as to detect without delay the
presence Of the enemy's vessels should
any appear, and also to impart to and
receive information from the vessels of
the United States skirting the coast
without the necessity of their putting
into port. While the necessity for such
a system was extremely urgent, the
problem of effecting it as a new and
original organization in time to be of
service Would have been difficult.
Happily, without the slightest inten-
tion of doing so, the government had
already provided itself for this very
emergency by the establishment of life
saving stations at frequent intervals
and at points where an enemy would
be most likely to attempt an inroad.
The general superintendent Of the life
saving establishment suggested their
availability for coast signal purposes.
They were already manned by trained
and disciplined crews, who were versed
in the use of the signals of the interna-
tional code, accustomed to patrolling the
beaches and maintaining a searching
watch for all objects to seaward. The
suggestion was promptly accepted, and
about two thirds of the life saving sta
tions on the Atlantic and gulf coasts
were at once commissioned as coast
signal stations. While it did not fall to
their lot to ''sight the enemy in the
offing," as the enemy did not choose to
appear, they performed valuable service
in advising the navy department of the
movements of government vessels,
among which instances perhaps the
most notable was the receipt and trans
mission of the message of Captain Clark
of the Oregon when he rounded to off
Jupiter and signaled chat the great
battleship had arrived from its long
journey round the Horn and was in fine
fighting trim.
While there is a constant improve
ment in the life saving facilities latter
ly, it has been more in the line of
thoroughly utilizing and perfecting ex
listing apparatus than in the introduc-
tion of new devices. This has been
shown in the improvement made at the
various stations in operating the life car
and the breeches buoy and in overcoming
the difficulties in getting lines to dis
tressed ships in heavy storms.
