The deceased was "a years of age and

being in favor of his mother.
Captain Hampson, father Of the dead
boy, tells pathetic story Of the circum-
stances which have resulted in SO sad a
Christmas day for him and his family.
Charles was seemingly without fear and
was almost reckless in his use Of powder.
His father has alwayJ cautioned him and
was almost afraid to allow him to work
by himself, as he persisted in using short
fuses. Mrs. Hampson had been urging
her husband to come home for Christ
mas. 1t was impossible for both father
and son to leave ard it was only after
much persuasion that the Captain con-
cluded to come, leaving Charlie to con
tinue work with the other men, as the
Ross mill was dependent upon the Elk
chequer mine for its supply of 30 tons of
ore per day. The boys in camp had pre-
pared for a Christmas feast and Charlie
was looking forward to pleasant day
even though he could not be at home. Z.
The last words his father said to him
were words of caution regarding the use
of short fuses, and Charlie promised that
he would be careful.
The tragic end of the young man, elic-
its the sympathy OF all those who knew
him and his parents and brothers.

The Growth of Arizona.

Arizona has more than doubled its
population in the past decade The
census of this year gives the Territory
122,212 Inhabitants, against 59.620 in
1890. When the census of 1890 was
taken the Indians on the reservations
were not enumerated as inhabitants.
There were 2S.46 aboriginal wards on
these reservations; there are only 3,055
now. The majority of the Apaches
have during the past decade been trans
ferred to Florida and Indian Territory
in the interest of peace. The policy
has borne good fruit, Arizona has, in
consequence, filed up with settlers.
Life and property are now as secure
there as anywhere in the country. in
Tie wonderful growth of population
is however. only one of the grounds on
which Arizona will establish its rights
to be admitted by congress to statehood.
A large amount OF capital has been in
vested there of late years in mining
properties. The Territory is one of the
most attractive mining fields for capital
on the Pacific Coast. The climate and
geological formations are specially favor
able to the industry. In undevoloped
mineral wealth Arizona stands peerless
in the West. Gold, silver and copper
are the leading mineral products. AS a
copper producer it will in few years
outrank every other section of the
country. Although many of the copper
properties there are still undergoing de-
volopment, they are listed among the
biggest dividend-paying mines in the
United States.
Coincident with all this mining de-
velopment is gradual unfolding of
agricultural resources, of which the
Territory was not considered a few
years ago to oe possessed Experience
is proving that there are large areas of
land in Arizona which can be made
highly productive under proper system
of tillage. These arabic lands are con-
tributing largely toward the support of
reasonable to assume that in time the
Territory will be self-supporting in the
matter of grain, fruits and live stock.
The development of mineral wealth is
giving encouragement to agriculture
and Introducing artifcally elements
which are essential to the latter's sue
cess, but which nature has scantily
