MORE BOOM LITERATURE

Another boom article on Yavapai county appeared in the Courier this morning. That paper says times are harder and money scsrcer in this section than for twenty years past, and says that every man who will tell the truth, knows this 10 be a fact.
 When prospective mine purchas- CTS and others who contemplate To- eating m the territory, read such stud, what conclusions must they naturally reachl Only a few days ago the Courier advised property holders and tax payers to sell out while they could and get out of the territory. It would take a great deal of effort and printers ink to counteract the effect such state ments would have if the paper pub fishing tn am had any influence, and 1t was not generally understood all over the territory that the manager or the Courier IS ready at all times to sacrifice every interest of the ter ritory and county if in doing so il can incidentally work in something no matter how dishonest or dis reputable in the hopes of injuring some republican.
 When it comes to blacklisting, the Courier takes the cakel It simply condemns everything in the county a4d territory, making no exceptions, unless it might be a few democrats or populists.
 A few months, or a year at the outside, will have demonstrated whether any of the prospects re- ferred to in the governors procla- nation, have developed into, or are likely to develop into mines.
 There is no doubt but what the position taken by the governor has helped to make it necessary for those who are inclined to dispose of min ing stock in the east to spend some thing for development purposes and to some extent, at least, demon strate that the stock offered has something behind 1t. The governor can safely stand on the record he is making. Mining and business ol every kind in the county and terri. tory was never as satisfactory and profitable as at the present time, re- gardless of the statements in the Courier this morning.

The pe.th of oarIrIe.

Uncle had cot been considered seIi ously i'll more than about fortnight oi 60 before the end, writes Carlyle'i nephew, John c. Aitken, in The Allan tic The vital spark of life toward th' last days kept fiickering in a way so X traordinary that the doctor declared h' bad never met such teuacity of life anC vitality in the whole course of his yariee London and other experience. Deal uncle, the good, true and noble old maI that be was, really suffered little in ta' way of pain for some weeks before hu death, which was itself little more thar a gentle fiiokering sleep, ending in [ scarcely beard last sigh of sound.
 While lying in a oOmatose or Uncon scious state his mind seemed Go wander back Co old AnnAndsle memories of hii ever loved ones and their surroundings his mother holding her supreme seat surrounded by trooping throng of onc' familiar faces not very greatly less deal to him. He died fall of years, with al his weary task of worlds work wei and Dobly done, and leaves no morta behind him who does not love and rev erence his life and memory.

Iowa democrats have held their con, entiou, nominated candidates for state offices, endorsed the Chi csgo platform of 1896 in its entirety and ''deprecates the continued war against the Filipinos,' but endorses the war against Spain of last year, and views with alarm the formation of trusts. Iowa populists met on the same date and swallowed plat form. nominees and all bodily.
 Federal officials who get their appointments from coupon clipping influences quote the rate of secuu- ties abroad as an index 10 prosperity in Arizona Courier. The eyi- dences of prosperity in Arizona are apparent to every one who has his eyes open. No one has to go away from the territory to realize it, though in case he does the fact be- comes more apparent by compari- son. Evidences of the financial standing of the territory both abroad and at home is evidenced by the rating of its securities. Get yourself straight on these matters, neighoor, Don't mix them up or intentionally misrepresent them.

War Artist Praises General Otis

G. W. Peters, au artist, who went to the Philippines fourteen months ago, and who has done work in the field since the insurrection began, and has contributed to Harper's Weekly, the Century, Golfers, Frank Leslie's and other periodicals, was in New York last week, having come east from San Francisco, where be arrived on the transport New port. Mir Peters, on February last, shortly before the war actually began, was captured and imprisoned as a spy by the Fiipinos, under Gen. Montenegro. While be was in the Caloocan prison some of the savages threatened him with death, but be was released through the interces- sion of Capt. Salada, of the Filipino cavalry, who knew him.
 General Otis" said MT. Peters, lis in my opinion, a very able man. HOmesickness has more to do with the kicking on the part of the sol diers than anything else. The kick ing is uncalled for. The soldiers are we'll taken care of-better than iD any other army in the world. The beef they get is the very best, and comes from Australia, and the com missary service is excellent. The hospital accommodations are also very fine. The insuIrection is now very nearly over, and the Philip pines should never be given up. v Army and Navy '0u-r>'

A Pleasant Social Afternoon.

Mrs. J. L. Fisher and her daugh- ter, Mrs. Harry R. Tritle, gave a very delightful entertainment to between fifty and sixty ladies, at the elegant mansion of the former, yes terday afternoon. The guests were divided into two companies, and one was employed in playing progressive hearts while progressive whist en- gagged the time of the other com pany. 4 number of very interesting and exciting games of each were played, when the scores were count ed, resulting in awarding the hearts prize to Mrs. F. l.. Wright and the fiIst whist prize to Mrs. e. Martin. Mrs. J. J. Hawkins and Mrs. J. V. Shephard tied for the second whist prize, and in the cut it was won by Mrs. Hawkins.
 During the serving of refresh ments 8 pleasant innovation was in- troduced by sn orchestra composed of Mrs. Cline and Prof. Baernstein playing sweet strains of music. Just as the guests were closing their dis cussion of this feature of the after noon's entertainment, four little pickaninnies dressed in gaudy robes of yellow, appeared on the scene and as the orchestra changed their classic tune to the more modern one of the Georgia Camp Meeting" the dusEV little MaStars and Missas in- dulged in a cake walk in the hall to the great amusement of all present. These little folks are veritable masters of this class of dancing, and are hence quite entertaining. The inspiration from the music as we'll as from the dancing of the little ones, was caught up by some of the older ones, and although not on the program, the closing act, a brief one, was a cake walk by some of the ladies present
