YUMA'S OIL PROSPECT
Investigation Delayed by Fractional
 Troubles.

The anticipated activity in the search for petroleum in and about Yuma has not, as yet, developed to any great ex- tent and the belief that this section is an oil bearing one is still as much as ever a belief, pure and simple, says the Yuma Sun.
 Disa greement in the ranks of the Southwestern Oil and Development company has checked that organiza- tIon's movements, perhaps permanent ly and another fondly cherished hope has thereby faded.
 But the oil indications hereabout are too plain and the prospects too alluring to remain uninvestigated, and it is all most certain that something tangible will result during the winter.
 The recent visit of +. M. Straus. eX- superintendent of La Fortuna mine, ac- companied by California acquaintances gave rise to a rumor that may nave some foundation in fact, that the gen. tlemen were looking over the field with a view to inaugurating oil prospecting operations. It is known that Messrs. F. J. Martin, H. C. Haupt and Dan De- wore, of Fortuna, and all friends of MT. Straus, are very enthusiastic over the oil question, and stand ready to make substantial investments. They may carry out their plans tn company with MT. Straus and his associates.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN THE WEST
The Result in States Where It Has
 Been Tried.

The opponents of woman suffrag are shouting from the houSetopS: Be hold! Women have had 'the franchise four years in Idaho, five years in Utah, seven years in Colorado, ten years in Wyoming and the millennium has not yet arrived; therefore woman suffrage is failure-it ought to be abolished in those states and never granted in any others
 It would be a waSteof words, perhaps, to suggest that even the longest of these periods is a rather bricf time to usher in the millennium or to call atten- tion to the fact that there is not d state in tbe union With so small a pro- portion of its irlha in the jails, poorhouses and asylums as Wyoming; or that the first legislatures of Colo rado after wom-n were enfranchise1 l passed respectively a stringent anti prizefighting and anti-gambling law; or that the vast preponderance of tes- timony from all the four states is that the effects of woman suffrage have been in every. way beneficial to the commonwealth; nor is it worth while to suggest that the wcmen in all of these states are so largely in the mi nority that. even if they should stand solidly together they could not wholly eradicate those. evils which are so strongly implanted in the community. There is ample and trustworthy evil dence that those women who have used their ballots in favor If law and order and of candidates who would enforce existing statutes and not be themselves violatCrs of civil and moral law.
 But what right have men to exact a guarantee from women that they will regenerale the world with their bal lots? Have they required such pledges from any other class of citizens? Was this result expected when several mil lion plantation negroes were enfran-

GLOBE MINING DISTRICT
Sale of Copper Claims and Other
 Mining News.

Speaking of mining matters in the Globe district the Silver Belt says: Harvey & Finletter, owners of the Keystone group of mines, have received returns from the last carload of ore from the Copper Hill mine, which is very satisfactory, showing 21.5 per cent copper. The ore varies burt little in value and there is a large quantity blocked out in the mine. The Copper Hill is considered by experts one of the most promising copper mines in in Globe district.
 The deal was closed last week trans ferring to Chas. E. Taylor of Globe the entire interest of the Bernard Mccoy estate in a group of eight copper claims in this district. The deed conveys title to three whole claims and part interest in five others. The claims are situated on the Globe copper belt, adjoining some of the mines of the United Globe, and adjacent to the Old Dominion property. Several of the claims have had considerable work done on them, and show good bodies of high grade copper ore, and in MT. Taylor's hands they will not lie idle.
 The Black Warrior Copper Company,
 
 the machinery for their concentrator, and a force of machinists is now em- ployed putting it in place. The large roll is said to be the largest ever placed in a mill in the United States. The teacher is now in operation. Acid works is the next addition to the plant contemplated.
 The Globe Sampling works have handled several lots of ore during the past week. We are glad to see mine owners showing a better appreciation of this enterprise, which should be a most valuable promoter of the mining industry in thls district. There are few as complete plants in the territory as the Globe Sampling works, and there is no more competent manager than LCo. $. Andrus.
 During his visit here last week Au- gust Pieper sold his one-half interest in the Future copper claim to L. Rob- ! inson, who now owns the entire claim. The Future adjoins the Mccoy group.
 Bert Haverly, who has a lease on a copper claim belonging to the United Globe mines, has been shipping high grade ore for several weeks past. The claim adjoins the Black Warrior prop erty.

FRANK ALEY's LEAP
The Mitigating Circumstances of His
 Late Hurglarious Act.

The Globe Times, under its new man. agement, thus introduces itself to the public:
 With this issue of the Globe Times Frank Alley becomes dts editor, pub- fisher. assistant devil and hired girl hereof On such occasions it is time honored custom to hang your demiiohn on it's outer wall and publicly declare your intentions toward the unsuspect- ing public. From the time when crou2 and summer complaint threatene to deprive this great nation of our valu- able presence. we have longed to be an editor We have fondly imagined our selves mentioning ourselves like the Emperor of Germany in the first person plural with a great big "W." We have tried to realize the unuttera5le beatf- tude of walking up and down the de- pot platform with our hands and sim gle trip pass in our hip pocket. Now we can see ourself turning disdainfully from cold turnips to steaming turkey with a snow-capped ebony gentleman attentive at our every beck and call.
 When the circus comes to town we are on hand when the big thing comes off, decked out in linen duSter and com- plimentaries, while red lemonade goes gurgling gleafully down our orthodox throat to the rattle of drums, the squall of pocolos and the howl of the Wild man from Borneo.
 Now. what are We going to do. We propose to give every patron his mon eys worth. We propose, if necessary, to join hands with friend and foe alike, for the upbuilding of Gila county and Arizona. We shall not cucumber the columns of Grle times with an account of the enga ge ment of earls, the mar riage of dukes or the birth of princes ses, not much. We propose to tell about Smiths prospect, Browns year lings, Jones' goats, Perkins successful business venture. and have a live. thor oughbred local paper.
 Moreover. our personal dislkes will never be aired in the Times. On the other hand the individual who deliber- ately and with mercenary intent beats and defrauds the business man in Globe will receive an abundance of free advertising In the Times. The Times does not propose to undertake the re- forma ton of the world. but it expects to be the workingmans friend, the stockman's helpmeet. the miners ad- vocate and the business mans watch dog.
 There will be no discrimination. Every calling. every church, every le- gitimate class of society will receive fair treatment and full recognition
 We are expansionists on the news paper question and the public may ex- pect to see the Times enlarged, in the near future.
 We believe in throwing all the sun shine into a local paper that can be swept together: let us camp on the sunny side of the mountain of life the grim shadow will fall upon us soon enough.
 We shall avoid all controversy with our contemporaries and hope to dwell in peace with the fraternity.
 There is plenty of room in grand old Arizona for us all to make a living. We want your good will, we want your patronage, and in return we pledge the Times to a faithful advocacy of your rights and interests.

 Oh, no, not at all.

UNLETTERED PREACHERS.
One of Them Answers Bishop Potter
 On Educated Ministers.

Reading (Pa.) Dec. 22-The Rev. Henry M. Lengel, whV as a stone ma son and carpenter. built his own church in this city from foundation to roof, is much interested in Bishop Peters re- cent declaration that clergymen should be well educated. but iihat for an un- learned man to appear in the pulpit to preach would be impertinent MT. Len gel works through the day, studies at night and breaches on Sunday, having inevsted all his savings, about $500, in the church he built. He said:
 T ann 50 years old, have preached 20 years, have been a carpenter, a boat man, stone mason and farmer, but have never been told that I must be a coliege-edu at d man in order to prsach the true word of God. A man who talks like the New York bishop is re- ported may not have the spirit of God in him, nor the love of Christ. I doubt very much if he'd come to my church to preach; and yet should he invite me to come to his in New York I would go and try to help him see the true light. His talk resembles the, foolish virgin. His lamp may not hold true oil. I had no money for college education, but went to a log Schoolhouse. At 26 I was converted, and shortly thereafter I was called to preach. Since then I have organized a number of congregations of the Church of the Followers of God My 1abcr is among the poor. Men like myself bring the gospel to the pCor, where it is needed.
 Did the disciples of our Lord go to college? Where did the simple fisher men get their education? They were called by Christ. That was sufficient to make good all their lack of technical education. Do you think it necessary that a man should be able to read and write a dozen languages in order to carry the message of Christ as ex- pressed in the sermon on the mount? l have known simple, unlettered men who were the most powerful preachers I have ever heard. They were called by God and they saved many souls. I find that many overeducaited clergy men have very little spirituality They appeal to the intellectual side only They are cold; possess little if any of the true warmth of Christianity They stand for the letter oD the law and speculate as to what part of the Bible shall te believed and what palIj shall not.

No sure cure is yet known for chronic rheumatism. No man living can cure it always. He can try. If he fails he can try another way.
 There are many ways. Some harmless; others worse than the rheumatism. Better not take the chance of quack medicines.
 Scott's emulsion of cod-liver oil cures rheumatism only by crowding it out by vital force. If that succeeds, it succeeds; if that fails, it fails. It never does any harm.

THE BLOOD OF WHALES.

An interesting set of experiments has been made by M. Gulaberg on the tenn pcrature of the blood of whales that have been lately killed. It is manifest ly impossible to make such experiments ben the living subject. but observations taken soon after death are tolerably accurate on account of the thick exte- rior layer of blubber. which preserve s blood from rapid cooling.
