tempt upon the life CT the Prince Of WeiC E
spread with marvellous rspidity in all
parts OF London and created Intense ex-

sll olarses.
The fact that the attempted astassina-

the diplomatic agent of the Transvaal,
N axes his headquarters, was generally
taken to indicate that the would.be as
sassin was Beer sympathizsr and this
80 iufiamed pRFsious thatbitter invectives
were hurled at the Beers and every thing
connected with them.
The Marquis Of Salisbury telegraphed
his congratulations to the Prince on his
escape. The United States charge
d'affalres, Mr.. Henry White, who was
calling on the British premier and the
minister OF foreign affairs. at the time,
promptly repaired to Marlborough hou'e
and left his card there. All the officials
we're greatly disturbed by the Occurrences
and the general view was that 1t must be

already In motion and when the engineer
heard the pistol he shut Of steam, applied
the brakes and stopped the train. As
the train restarted after Sipidoss arrest

WILL NOT BUY STOCKS.

\ mining stock broker returning from q visit to the east has expressed the opinion that eastern people will buy no more mining stocks until after the presidential election. There seems to be little disposition in that part of the union to venture upon such invest mentS. and there will be no revival until after Ihe presidential campaign has ceased to absorb attention.
 In this there is nothing surprising, for it is a repitition of what occurs in nearly every presidential year. Busi- ness in general may not be checked, but a national political campaign usually interferes with speculation
 But failure on the part of eastern people to invest in mining stocks will not affect general development in the slightest degree. Transactions in min ing stocks have no close relation to inning. for often it has been seen that a period of activity in developing l.-e mines is accompanied by stagna- tion on the stock market. The mines will continue to produce large Quanti- ties of gold. and new properties win be opened up. No peter evidence of activity in practical mining could be asked than the heavy purchases that have recently been made of mining claims. They show that capital is going in and that preparations are be ing made for development on q still larger scale.
 This is true in a greater or less de gree all over the country. Cripple Creek is the only district which is largely represented in the stock market. Every stock exchange iii the state could be closed and little or no effect would be seen in the mineral output or the development of new properties. Prospective dullness in the market need. therefore. cause no feeling of uneasineSS in regard to min ing activity Persons who hold stocks may have to wait q little longer than they counted upon before the desired advance comes. but ultimately, if their stocks represent good properties. they will be vindicated by the discovery and production of Ore.-Chicago Mining Re view.

OBJECT LESSON IN FORESTRY.

The New York Tribune calls atten- tion to some lessons from the old world on the effects of forest destruc- tiOn. which are especially applicable to Arizona and deserve repeating here because of the general apathy which has existed among our people in reference to the preservation of our mountain forests.
 The first lesson is drawn from India where the fearful famine now prevail ing is traceable to a large extent, di- rectly to forest destruction. Lack of food production is the result of the drought. and the drought is the result of forest destruction. The Increase in pOulatiOn under the favorable condi- tiOns of British rule has increased the demand for arabic land. and to supply this demand the forests and. jungles have been cleared away by thousands of square miles. With the removal of these great reservoirs of nature. the arabic land has become parched and unproductive. and famine is the result.
 The second Iession pointed out comes from Egypt. where the Nile. the great source of life to vegitation for thou sands on thousands of acres of land. is drying up. It no longer approaches the height and depth which it attain ed in ancient times and is falling per eepdbly from year to year. The cause of this is the rapid and reckless destruction of the forests in which the great river has its sources.
 Another lesson comes from the re- zion of the Congo. Not many years ago the vast forest wilderness of this country was thought to be inexhaus- tible, but so great has been the slaughter made by the man with the ax that the necessity of measures for their preservation are now being dis cussed.
 We have only 10 look at Persia and at the Sahara says the Tribune, ito see the full fruition of the forest de strOying policy once Persia was the most fertile land of Asia. well watered and richly wooded. Once the Sahara was the granary of Africa and of Europe Today they are barren sands They are still traversed by rivers. but these flow far beneath the surface. Here and there they rise sufficiently to maintain small oases- Elsewhere they are hidden below the sands as dry and sterile as q furnace floor, through which. however. if a well be sunk. the subterranean stream is surely tapped Wherever by artif- ciaI irrigation the area of vegetation. and especially of woodland is extend ed, nature gladly responds with a re- turn toward her former benign cOndi- tions The French in the Sahara are taking advantage of this fact and are actually making measurable progress toward reclamation of that desert. It is reasonable to believe that through irrigation and refOresting, conditions may be reached in which artificial ir- rigation will do the work she used to do before her principles of climatic economy were outraged by artificial deforestatiOn"
