An Item for Golfers

''I ran across a clerk the other day who is worth his weight in gold, or at least in gold bricks," said guest at one of the hotels, as he lit d fresh cigar and settled himself in a comfortable lobby chair. "I was standing in a store, waiting for my wife to decide what she didnt't want, when a tailor-made girl walked up and asked to see some golf clubs. The young man behind the counter showed her several, and in a few minutes she found one that suited her and went away with it under her arm. Are there many players in New Orleans? [ asked, after she had gone. Oh, yes; quite a num- ber,' replied the clerk, affably. Have you golf links here?' I con tinued, getting interested. A look of real pain crossed the young mans face. I am sorry he said, very sorry, but the fact is we sold our last golf links this morning. How ever we have ordered a new stock, he added, brightening up, 'and they will be here in few days. Which did you wish-the plain or the-er- fancy links?'" "--New Orleans Times Democrat.

A Millionaire Marries.

Dan Murphy. the well known mIl. lionaire of Needles and Los Angeles, was married recently to a handsome .nd accomplished young lady of San Jose. This news wlll come as a surss prise to most of MT. Murphv's nu merous friends in Arizona, although a few were in the secret Mir Mur- phy has just completed an elegant residence in Los Angeles where he will reside in future. In addition to h4s extensive mercantile stock and mining interests at and near Needles and in Mohave county Mir Murphy IS largely interes' ed in productive oil wells in Southern California. He is now rated as millionaire and has amassed his immense holdings since 1883, when he located in Needles and started in business there when the town was first started. The ac quaintance of the editor of the JouRNAL-MNER with Mir. Murphy dates back to 1872 when he was en- gagged in railroading out of St. Joseph, Missouri, on the old St. Joe < Denver railroad. Mir. Murphy was then in his teens, but was the same energetic, keen, shrewd busi- ness boy that has characterized him ever since, but with all his stern business qualities, he is one of the largest hearted, most generous and affable man to be found. The JOUR- NAL MINER with his many other Ari- zona friends joins in congratulating him upon his forsaking his old bach elor ways and in joining the ranks of benedicts.

Special Sermon by Rev. Jennees.

The following official announce ment issued by the Berkeley, Cal, church, of which Rev. c. K. Jenness is pastor, is self explanatory: At Trinity church, Berkeley, Rev. OK |. Jenness will preach a series of ser mons on "Can an Honest Student of the New Science, Philosophy and Theology be an Orthodox Christian and a Preacher?" More frankly than is generally heard from the pulpit, these sermons will deal with the evolutionary theory, especially as applied to society, to ethics and to religion, and with the work of the higher critics upon the Bible. MT, Jenness has worked in the labora- tories of the Massachusetts, Institute of Technology, at Boston Univer- sity and Theological School, and at Stanford University. and has the A. NJ. degree in Social Sciences in which department he lectured at Sanford and at the Pacific Theolog- ical Seminary. It is requested that any one desiring to hear these ser mons, shall so far as possible attend them all, in order to avoid any false impressions that might be gathered from single sermon of the series.
 By order of the official board.

Suicide With Giant Powder.

Charles Duane, a miner at Chap arral, committed suicide on Satur- day by blowing himself up with giant powder. Deceased had been sick for some time, and on Saturday tried to get pistol to end his trou- bles with. Failing in this, he se- cured two sticks of giant powder and placed them under his head, with fuse and cap attached, and then lighted the fuse. His head and shoulders were blown completely from his body, the only portion of the head that was found being a small piece of skull and part of one ear. The remains were gathered up and brought to Prescott and buried yesterday afternoon. MT. Duane was highly respected by his fellow miners, and his untimely death is sorely regretted by them.

LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE
Communication Between Prescott and Phe0ix Established Today by
 the Sunset Company.

Telc phone communication be. tween Prescott and Phenix was established today at I1:30 by the Sln~et Telephone company. Through the courtesy of George P. Brown, manager for the company at Prescott. the editor of the JOURNAL MINER had the pleasure of indulging m a brief conversation over the line with General Manager W. T. Smith, of Phenix. and then with A. $. Mills. editor of the Phenix Enterprise. Their voices were easily recogniz- able and their articulation could be heard as distinctly as though they were standing within few feet of the person addressing them instead of being over 100 miles away. The line was remarkably free from in- duction, demonstrating two things, perfect construction and good wire. The liue will be completed through to Tucson and Nogales by March 15, when the force which has been at work down there will be trans ferred to this section and a line built 10 Jerome thence to Williams and from the latter place to Los Angeles. The local office will be moved shortly into one of the rooms Of the new Lawler building, on the east side of the plaza.

Boers and Giranes.

It is averred that the Boers are chiefly responsible for the threatened extinction of the giraffe in South Africa. The giraffe is hunted for it's skin, which is extraordinarily thick and tough. Specimens are sometimes an inch thick, and bullets often fail to penetrate it. Owing to the tough ness of its skin, the giraffe can break it's way through thorny thickets which hunters with horses are unable to penetrate. The giraffe was former ly very abundant in South Africa, but now it has become very scarce there, and efforts are being made to protect it by legislation. The Boers have also practically exterminated the lion in their country. It is said they killed 6,OOO lions during the settlement of the Transvaal.-Youth's Companion.

A San Francisco telegram says that the employees of the Southern Pacific are protesting vigorously against the compulsory insurance order issued by the company A percentage of their wages Is with held for premiums and the em- ployees are required to waive all claims for damages against the road in case of accident.
 The house committee on com merce has reported in favor of a subsidized rather than government cable. This is a mere matter of business and should not be consid- cred in partisan spirit. A subsidy is unquestionably cheaper as far as expenditures go, and the country has not yet decided to let the gov ernment go into the telegraph busi- ness for the profits that may be de- veloped.
 The panic into which the women sufragists were thrown by the ap- psarance of "remonstrants" of their own sex in Washington recently was really very funny, They were not afraid of man, of course; they knew him too well. But this new enemy  was terror. All they could do was to call it's component members ''hor- rid things" and say that they had no right to appear nor talk. Mean while tYrant man sits on his kopjes and watches the battle with glee.
 A Washington telegram says that Mir. Sulzer of New York has intro. duced . resolution in the house ex pressing sympathy for the Boers MT. Sulzer has regard for the eter nal fitness of things. While the Boers were having things pretty much their own way and meeting of sympathy were being held in va rious parts of the country, MT. Sulz ST laid low. Now that the Boer are on the run with the British il full pursuit, Mir. Sulzer evidently thinks it the appropriate time tC express sympathy. Mir. Sulzer i correct.

MODEL SITE FOR RESORT.
A Correspondent Tells of the Beauties and Advantages of Spruce
 Mountain.
Prescott, Ariz.. Feb. q.

Prescott, Ariz., Feb. 2.
 I seo by the JOURNAL MINER that some parties have started to build a summer resort near the Iron Springs. This is no doubt very convenient place for those who only intend to stay a day or two, but for those who intend to spend a few weeks or a summer in the moun- tains, Spruce mountain is by far the best place in Yavapai county, and has few equals anywhere.
 Parties from Phenix, who under stand came to look over this section, did not get on the north side of the mountain at ali, but took the right hand road to the southwest side. in stead of taking all left hand roads. The north side is the only side from which the summit can easily be reached; the only side where there are beautiful building sites and flats for either camping or picnicing; where the silver fir grows in abun- dance, and where there is large spring of pure mountain water,
 Not only from its summit can be seen almost all of the eastern, west ern and northern part of Yavapa county, but also far to the west into Yuma county beyond the Harque Haas, distance of over two hun dred miles. I intend to cut out the brush so 1t will be possible to drive within little more than a quarter of a mile of the summit.
 The distance now from Prescott is about nine miles, but parties in- tend to build a road to the head of Lynx creek, which will make that point about ten miles from Prescott, and the summit of Spruce mountain less than seven miles. When this road is built one can then drive within fifty yards of the summit and continue the drive several miles on the ridge, with a beautiful vista the entire distance, coming and return ing by the Senator road to Prescott This will be a grand drive seldom equalled and never excelled.

WHO ARE sQUATTERs ?

The recent order issued from the vaneral land office to forest rangers to notify all squatters and tresPass- srs on the forest reserves to vaeate has raised the question, "Who are .cuattersf" Some of the forest rangers do not seem to be able to answer the question as notice mas been served by them upon several apparently bona fde settlers to va cate their places.
 The land laws give asettler upon surveyed land ninety days after set clement to appear at the land office and take appropriate steps towards securing title to the land he oeeu- pies. Failing to do this within that time, he becomes a tresPasser and the land is subject to entry by any other qualified entryman.
 A settler upon unsurveyed land IS not permitted to file or make entry of his land in the land office until after survey of the land. He IS then allowed ninety days after the plat of the township in which he is To- cated is filed in the land office to make his entry or filing, and no valid entry or filing can be made upon such land by any other entry man during this ninety days period of preference right accorded to the settler. Failing. however, to make his entry or filing within the ninety days his land becomes subject to entry by any other qualified entry man.
 In the absence of any adverse claimant or protest a man may re- side for years upon surveyed lanc and may then be permitted to make entry of the land, although hil rights to such occupancy are subject to contest after the period of ninety days from date of settlement.
 According to these provisions O the land laws the answer to th' above question seems very simple A man who is residing upon sur veyed land and whose residence GOV CTS a period of more than ninet. days is a squatter within the mean ing of the law and subject 70 eject ment if his residence IS within thu limits of forest reserve.
 One who has settled upon unsur veyed land within the limits of forest reserve since the date of tn proclamation establishing such re serve, when all lands were with drawn from entry, would also b. considered in the light of a tres passer.
 One who has settled upon ant who has cultivated and improved unsurved land within the limits of forest reserve, whose settlement wa prior to the date of establishing sai' forest reserve.must be considered a a bona fde settler since the govern ment will not permit him to mak any entry or filing upon the lan' until after it's survey. Hepce a long as he maintains bona ide resl dence of land and cultivates and i'm proves the same he cannot be dis turbed in his rights, provided b possesses the qualifications to ente the land when surveyed.
 A man who has already used hi homestead rights. and hence wh would not be a qualified entryma of land when it was surveyed, coul only acquire 8 squatter's right O unsurvayed land, and would be sut ject to eiectment from forest re serve.
