Prescott Couner Report comes from the Sterling mine that the 2o- stamp mill is pounding away steadily and plating SIP per ton gold from ore from that mine. The vein of ore ranges from two and a half to six feet in width and is widening in depth. The roperties are SO adyantageously situated that it costs only 50 cents a ton to land ore in mill from mine. This property Is situated eight miles from Prescott. Mir Tomlinson is su- perintendent.

East ern capitalists are investing heavily in newly discovered claims and old mines are again being opened up, A fair per cent of the copper ore from the mires in operation finds it's way to E Paso shelter, especially from Pima and Santa Cruz counties. It is estimated that the May shipment to El Paso of ore from different mines in Arizona will be b per cent greater than it has been during the present month.

PEW BICYCLE CHANGES.
The 1900 Wheels VIII Differ Little
from 1899 Models.

There will be little, Ii any, appreci-
able change In the models and CON
struction OF next years bicycles from
those of this years patent and build.
Inquiry among local dealers has elicit
ed the fact that while in quality and
workmanship Improvements will be
made where possible, the models in
both chain and chainless will be prac.
tically unchanged.
With most manufacturers there is q
tendency toward lighter machines.
while with a few the coaster brake or
free wheel will be featured Many
of the makers comprising the Amer
lean Bicycle Company or aCycle
Trust" will give more attention TO
the chainless bicycle than TO the
chaiu-driven wheel. They believe
that the experimental stage OF the
chainless has been passed and that
before the close OF another year iG will
have superseded the chain machine In
popularity.

COLD WAVE HERE.
Fall in Temperature Surprised
Everyone Sunday.

Weather Indications do not Promise
Relief Soon-iee Rapidly Forming on
Greek and River Snow fall Expected
to be Heavy Building Operations
are Curtailed.
The cold wave has been holding
its own very well since SUNDAY when
1t first struck this section The
weather up to that time bad Teen
very fine for the season OF the year
when it jumped suddenly to winter
in real earnest and has been giving
us taste of what II can do when it
makes up its mind to be real bad.
The change has been very trying
one on everybody The weather peo-
pie do not give us any assurance
that it will soon let up and the old
proverb The cold strengthens as
the days lengthen,a would seem to
promise that it will mold on Tor
while, The mercury has not gone
very low but it has refused to 90
above freezing for several days and
the effects arc beginning to be seen
every where.
The creek is frozen solidly but
owing to the fact that the water was
high when it began the ice is not
very good for skating purposes. The
river is also frozen over but Ii il too
uneven. Later it may get smooth
enough for skating but up to this
time it does not look very promising.
The people who are fond Of out
door winter sports are having their
fun however. There ii some ice
that can be used by the skaters and
those who like to coast have taIsen
possession of Peasants street Hill.
The hill has become a sheet OF ice
and hundreds of people have been
coasting on it. The sleds go half
way across the suspension bridge at
times
In the west the temperature and
snow fall have been much worse
than they have been here. The in.
dicabions are for more snow here and
II it comes the sleighing will be
splendid. The roads are In the very
best shape Tor it and the livery peo-
pie are praying for snow
The ice men will shortly begin to
cut ice for next summers supply if
the cold snap continues and they
VIII have good amount to draw on.
Most OF this will of course come from
the creek. In a few days If the
freezing keeps up the river would
also yield bountiful supply,
Building operations are being held
back by the weather and the con
tractors who have been hurrying
the work all TAIL taking advantage
OF the good weather have been forced
to bring their operations down to
the minimum.

Something is Bound to Drop.

more fun out of the University than

OF the editors OF the News is at the
University taking the law course and
of course has a good chance TO find
out all that goes on there and the way
he roasts the president and his impor-
ted Chicago talent ought to be a

Look Out for Pickpockets.

The farmers who come in to get
their money for the coal that they
have recently sold and for which
they are being paid had better be on
the lookout for pickpockets. These
gentry have heard of the sums Of
money that are being paid out and
they are coming into town totake
advantage of.it. The police are watch
ing for them but they may make
somebody feel very sore over the
loss of the hard earned money.

Hats or in Church.

Pastor Rev, w. c. Hogg, of the
Presbyterian church at Waynesboro
had thought Sunday, and in frank
ness he was quick to put II into ex
eeution. lie requested the ladies
coming to remove their hats SO that
the men behind could see what was
going on. Like the good and con
siderate Christians they are, says
the Zephyr, the ladies removed their
tiles in the evening, with the result
that the spirit of regeneration pereo-
lated down through the audience to
that very last row of pews. The
scheme was found to be admirable.

Pay "a You Go.

Ii you wish to lesson the worries of
the world and scatter sunshine as you
CO. don't bother to go Summing or
lift the fallen or trouble to reclaim
the erring -simply pay your debts
cheerfully and promptly. 1t lubri-
Gates the wheels Of trade, breaks up
party ice, gives tone to the social sys-
tenn and liberates good will.
Pay as you go.
Especially pay the people who work
by the day and toll with their hands.
A dollar means much to the man who
spades in your garden-never humili-
ate the MAN by making him ask for
his dollar. Give it to him immediate
ly after the work is done, and if he
did it well tell him so. When the
woman who crouches over a sewing
machine for you all day long brings
the garment home, pay her all you
owe. and do not add to her troubles
by exercising the prerogative OF the
one who is paying over money to
iaunt out either insulting remarks or
insulting manners.
The gentleman shows his true ma
ture in his treatment of social infer
Tors, and of all the damning sins the
Withholding of money due a working
man is the worst. And the cheerful
ness and good will we give out with
our money will in turn be given out
by those we pay it to. Pay az you
go.

Bridge not Done Yet.

Instead of finishing the suspension
bridge on last Saturday it is not done
vet. This is due to the fact that they
ran out of lumber before the job was
completed and have not yet obtained
the rest that is needed In the mean
while everyone is hindered in the use
of the structure. 1t has been out Of
repair much longer than it should
have been allowed to go. The delay
is blamed on to the fact that the lum-
Der could not be gotten as fast as it
was needed.

John Is Bull Headed.

Kruger offered TO arbitrate, but John
Bull in the plentitude OF his power
and arrogance, as presented by Joe
Chamberlain, couldn't see it. The
United States was compelled to lick
England twice before that belligerent
country could see the beauties of ar
filtration. The Afrikanders have
whipped Britain once and have al
ready scored several knockdowns in
the present contest. Doubtless Mr..
Bull will, ere long, recognize the APP
plicability OF the arbitration system
as applied to South Africa.

Not Exactly Fair to the Hens.

L. A. Johnson, the genial and ae-

from Florin, Pa, this week, two fine
chicken hens of the celebrated Hou-
dan variety of which he is justly
proud. Mr.. Johnson is authority on

Just sent out an order for two incuba-
tors: one for each hen. His notion is
to keep the hens laying al the time,

MOrgAntOWn, Senecas SOutn morgan
town and Greenmont will elect Town
-Morgantown district will
choose a School Commissioner DIR.
Fitch TO be Selected.
One week from to-day is election
day. The towns of Morgantown,
South Morgantown, Seneca and
Greenmont will choose town officers
and the Morgantown Independent
district will elect man as school
commissioner for the term of five
years.
In none of the towns are the cleo.
tons expected to be very lively and
if there is any excitement it will be
raised in Morgantown over the mat
ter. The other places have about
agreed to vote for one ticket that
has already been selected but in
Morgantown there seems to be a
movement on foot that will result in
several tickets being named.
Whatever may be their compo-
sition however they will be lined up
politically as the present council is
and that is with four republicans
and three democrats.
The voters have as yet manifested
but little interest in the outcome of
the election and will perhaps take
very little part until the day is here
when they will select the best men
available. The tickets that will be
put out have not been revealed to
every one and will probably not be
announced until the morning of the
election.
In the school election there has
been nothing said but it is generally
understood that DR.. Fitch will be
unanimously reelected. He has
made a very capable officer and
should have another term. The
members of the school board are all
painstaking men who devote much
of their time to the affairs of their
district and they deserve great
credit for what they have done in
this direction.
A new commissioner has to be
elected each year in order to fill the
vacancies which occur, the members
have their terms arranged so that
one of them retires at the end of
each year. There are five members.

First Lumber Delivered.

The first load of lumber for the
Morgantown glass factory has been
delivered in town. The mill has just
started to cut the order having been
moved from a former location into the
present tract. The lumber will be
forwarded as fast as it can be sawed.
The weather will interfere materially
with the progress of the building and
it will not be completed as soon as 1t
was hoped to be ready for business
when the work was started.

JOUBERT'S NAME
Not In the List of Stonewall Jackson's
Soldiers.

Extensively circulated reports that
the Boer General Joubert at one
time served under General Stonewall
jackson during the War of the Re
bellion inspired the descendants Of
the latter who reside in Clarksburg,
his birthplace,to search among Jack
sons papers. A thorough investi-
cation of these failed to reveal Jou-
bert's name, or anything indicating
that he had served nder.:Jackson in
any capacity.
