An official circular, issued by the
Governor of Arizona, warns intending
investors in mining claims, alleged to
exist in that territory, against the
schemes of unprincipled stock jobbers.
Their purpose is to sell large amounts
of stock in the Eastern States, and the
late boom in copper, together with the
great productiveness of some of the
Arizona copper mines, may make it
possible for these ''promoters' to sue
coed. Corporations. the Governor as
serts, have been formed with outra-
geous capitalization, based upon pros
poets which are either fallacious or
grossly exaggerated, and the stock IS
sold upon misrepresentation which
almost amount to obtaining money un-
der false pretenses. The Governor re-
grets being compelled to make such
announcements, but was constrained
thereto lin the interest of honest min
ing, to save investors from loss, and to
protect the character of Arizona"

An Old Long leland Tree

The eagle tree of East Moriches.
L. l., an oak centuries old, is said to be
dying. 1t had been occupied by pair
of bald-headed eagles since the end Of
the last century, whether the same
pair all this time is not sure, but such
is the belief. The building Of railroad
100 yards from the tree drove them
away awhile. but in 1857 they returned
and the household was maintained
until hunter wounded the male eagle
so badly that he died at the foot Of the
tree which was his home. They say
the hunter would have been lynched if
he had been caught. Ospreys are said
to have afterward occupied the nest
which the eagles abandoned, but this
does not seem likely. The owner Of the
land where the tree grows says he does
not own the tree, which had rights
there before he came. and 1t shall ney-
er be cut down.-New York Sun.

Protect Our Food.

poison, and that alum baking powders
should be avoided because they make
the food unwholesome. Prominent
hygienists, who have given the matter
most study. regard these powders Il,
an evil that should be suppressed by
state action. In Minnesota and Wis
conain alum powders are not permitted
to be sold unless they are branded TO
warn consumers of their true character.
while in the District of Columbia the
authorities have under the direction Of
congress, adopted regulations to pro-
hibt the use Of alum in bread alto

the people OF the District of Colum bia
are protected, by legislation which is
entirely prohibitive:
Until We can have protection in the
form OF statute, how can our state
boards of health, state analysts or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife

ty-fve cents or less per pound are Of
