WISE ADVICE.

The prevailing idea with every citizen
of Orange should be the upbuilding OF
the town. There should be no tear
down spirit in the breast of any one
except it is to tear down "envy, hatred
and malice and ali uncharitableness II"
and the things which do not help the
towns ACKNOWLEDGING Observer.
The CITIZEN heartily concurs in
the above-but goes step further
and suggests that our praiseworthy
contemporary should not be so cir
cumscribed in its admonitions, but
apply them to every citizen of the
good county of Orange. We admire
both the spirit of progress and the

THAT the Administration has been
steadfastly hiding the disasters in

are several more vessels due in Jan.

Several thousand Filipinos have

Observer. The age is a progressive
one, and We must all get out of the

rendered miserable by harboring up

Taking Harrison as a starting
point, the trip should not be made
to the Cave creek basin in a single
day, oftener than not it would hang
up the prospector somewhere along
the waterway of Cave creek which

times in half that number of miles.

no farther than Mt. Jersey, via

would leave enough daylight to visit
the mines near that place. The sec

But while this course of procedure
does not cover the territory as fully

fact, in this case, that the sub-car-

comprises a most remarkable de-
presson, four miles in length and
three in width, known as the Cave

eminence locally named as Lost
Mountain, the altitude of which is
the hight of the surrounding noun

sequence to prospect or study its
features is, alone, a sufficient task
for ordinary men without complicat-
ing the matter with data bearing up-
on two different formations only n
few miles apart.
The base of Lost Mountain, or ra-
