lisYes a reservoir will be built.
 It was thought originally that bed
 rock at the Butte site was sixty-fve feet below the surface and estimates
 wene made on the cost of a mRsOnaTy dam. It was learned Later that the greatest depth to bed rock is 130 feet. rendering a maS0nary dam impracti- cable. It will, therefore, be reccm- menGed in the report that a loose rock dam be built, if the Butte site IS chosen. This is a cheaper dam for that depth. The stone available. for this work is well adapted to hard usage, toing silicious. Some speci- mens have been taken, which closely resemble glass. In case a loose rock dam is constructed, co-walls will be necessary with cemented outer walls to hold the water.
 The report will probably advise the selection of the Butte site. The b=st plan would 0e to have two reservoirs, the other at Rivers: de. The advan- tages arising would be a greater con servation o4 water and the facilities for sluicing out the accommodating seI- im.5nt If the water from the upper reservoir was partially released t would carry out the silt and a channel would be forced through the lower reservoir. But th9Te Is a serious inn pediment. The upper site would be below Mineral Creek and water would be forced back through it for miles, submerging prospects, mines and farming land If the two reservoirs are built, however, two large lakes will lie along side. One will be elevEtel above the other and the connections made by locks.

PROBLEM OF THE JEW"

At the close Of the century there is
 in every land of the civilized world
 the problem of the Jew" It is a question which presents itself in vari- ous phases It is best known in its most brutal form as anti-Semitism. The enemies of the Jew have one
 statement in instant readiness: The Jews are hated because of their evil qualities Rut the statement will not bear criticism. The Jews are not hated because they have evil qualities. Evil qualities are sought for in them because they are hated. Statistics handled, net by Jews, but by their op- ponents, demonstrate facts in ali countries that favor the Jew.
 Let It be assumed, though l do not admit it. that the Jewish parvenu is more importunate and offensive than those of other races. That would be an indication Of 9 lack of culture such as might possibly justify rejection by an exclusive club but could never jus tify the deCrivatiCn of essential hu- man and civic rights, vituperatiOn and cruel persecution.
 An argument frequently used by the OppOuG1NS OI IlG Jews IS ludi a1iti- Ssmitism is as old as the Jewish na- ton. It is, indeed, true that hatred of the Jew has been his constant and tragic com panion during the entire continuance of the DiaspCrn. But the fact proves nothing against the Jew, since every people in every epoch has produced a different reason, CT rather preteXt, for it's anti-Semitism.
 The smaller number Of wealthy Jews who come into nc personal contact with the sentiment are ready to say 'anti-Semitism is an unpleasant fad, and will pass away rapidly as do all fads." The mass of Jews, however, feel that this is false
 In order to suffer hatred and perse- cution no longer, in order to attain the normal condition of life, the Jews must either be in a minority CT they must cease being distinguishable. This alternative includes the two solutions of Judaism for which the Jews them selves are striving.
 Those who desire to have the Jews constitute the popular majority in some one place wish to make Pales- tine, the land Of their fathers, that place. These are the Zionists.
 Other Jews prefer the second solu- tlcn- They are the Assimiladonists.

A BIG TIMING DEAL
H Group Near Phoenix Sold for
 $7OO.OOO.

A mining deal, important on ac-
 count of it's magnitude and especially
 important to Phoenix, because it will
 be followed by extensive operations
 with this town as the base, is said to have just been closed It is the safe

Clark and associates of Montana, and Messrs Field and Davis of St. Louis. The consideration IS s700, 900 in gold The transaction has been hanging fire for several months and the property has been thoroughly investigated. An estimate, twice con f1rmed, pNces thls, value of the ore i'll sight at $1,20O,00O.
 The POrtmanteau group embracing several gold claims, was located by A. J. Edwards, several years ago. The property passed into the hands of Frank Mich olson, who organized the Nicholson Gold Mining company, six years ago. The company originally consisted of MT. Nicholson, Col William Christy and J. c. Moore of St. Louis. During Edwards ownership of the property considerable development work was done and a great deal of ore was handled by means of arastras Alto gether there is about 4,200 feet of u1- derground work. It is a curious fact that there has neVsw been any kind Of power or modern machinery on the ground, 50 that the owners have bought only the bare claims with q magnificent certainty that they con- tain ore in value, $50O,O00 in ex- cess of the purchase price This af- lords them a margin for putting il any kind of machinery they want l It is said that operations VIII be be- 1 gun at once on an extensive scale. i Enough development work has al ready been done for the present, 50 that the immediate business will be | to take out gold.

A man from the assessors office went into the store of a Hebrew merchant in the pursuit of his duties.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY :
NAARNA &W

MT. Dick HeHett:. With reference to the lines published in your issue ol i yesterday. A Phoenix Holiday" think this alleged custom Of the Phoe- nicians to get to the seaside or into the mountains during the heated sea son at almost any cost is being harped upon too much The kicker" had something to say about it the other day and scme of, the local papers have lately been denouncing this custom in all too vigorous language.
 It seems to me that the matter is being dealt with far too seriously and might with advantage be treated in 8 somewhat lighter vein. I would have preferred that your poet" should have approached his subject thus:
 Oh. Susannah,
 Come along with me;
 I've pawned the old piano
 And we'll go and see the sea.
 Or:
 Hurrahi Hurrah. This is our holiday. Hurrah! Hurrah, For the bills we can
 not pay.
 Oh. let 'em side, and off we go to San
 Diego bay,
 Or elsewhere cn the coast of Cali
 fornia
 Or, again:
 Just one trip, to take little dip. Our creditors will kick, no doubt, but
 darn 'em, let 'em rip The furniture is mortgaged and there's
 nothing they can nip,
 While we are hbving fun at Catalina. The subject can hardly be consid- cred dignified one from any point of view and little .evity in its treatment Is, l think, not only permissible, but desirable.

 The Jews who do not possess equal rights-and these comprise four -ffths Of the race-have preserved the con sciousness that they are q distinctive people. They realize that they can escape the hatred that pursues them only by teasing to be a recognizable minority in the midst of other peoples. They refuse to sink their identity. Lost identity is no solution of the Jewish problem. They look for their salvation in reunion in land which shall be their own, where they will be the majority, and where they can de VeloD in temperature of sympathy along their own organic lines.-Max Nordau in North American Review.

ATTACK ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Rev. Dr. an Allen of EInlira Calls Il
 Maniacism and NecrOmancy.

PoUghkeepsie, N. Y. June 1.-The Rsv. William Van Allen, pastor of Grace church, Elmira, at today's ses- sion of the New York State Sunday School association, made a vigorous attack on Christian science. He said that we are in need of the faith of Thomas whsn a revived maniacism, blasphemously calling itself Christian science, would have us deny the re- ality of our Lords holy body and of our own, would teach us that He never suffered, because suffering is all hal Inclination, ard would bid us count all matter as in itself evil. When Satan leads men into necromancy and de- ludes them with the dying words Of sp;rituahsm and Christian scienoe it is to St. John we must turn for cOnsOla- ton and faith.
 This was greeted with prolonged ap- plause. The Christian Scientists are very strong in this city, and are rais- ing funds for the erection of a costly church.

public instruction, Colorado has again
elected woman to that position, with
the unanimous vote of all parties. No
more fattering recognition of woman's
fitness and ability in guiding the ed
vocational interests of state could be
given than the unanimous choice of
a woman, irrespective of party atfila-
tons.
Mrs. Helen Loring Grenfell, the pres
ent incumbent, is a beautiful, cultured
and earnest woman, who will give a
great impetus to education in Colorado.
She is home-loving, domestic woman,
whose personal happiness would be best
consulted by remaining quietly at
home, but having no children she feels
it her duty to respond when the Office
seeks her. ;
Mrs. Grenfell is a descendent of the
old Puritan families of White and
Thatcher, her father being one of the
Lorings of Boston. While she was born
in Valparaiso, Chill, she was brought
up in Colorado, where most of her edu-
cation was received. She attended the
Albany normal school, as preparation
for teaching, in which work she was en-
gagged for eight years previous to her
marriage to Mr.. Edwin l. Grenfell.
She was chosen superintendent of
schools in Gilpin county in '96, and
when the time for election next Hame,
she was nominated upon every ale of
the four political tickets in the. field.
Her success in administering to the
schools of Gilpin county attracted SO
much attention that the nomination for
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton was offered her by the unanimous
choice of all parties on the fusion ticket
last fall. Mrs. Grenfell has always been
a firm republican, and while not poll
tician in the sense usually attached to
that word, has evinced so much clear
judgment, sound sense and unswaver-
ing integrity upon all questions that
her opinions and advice are invariably
sought.
