Interesting Services.

The following was handed in to this office by volunteer reporter too late for Mondays issue: The Bap- tist church was filled almost to over flowing Sunday evening with listeners to hear the discourse of Rev. Geo. w. Taylor. The pastor chose his text from James 4:14, For What Is Your Life, Illustrating in a very graphic and impressive manner with stereopti- con views of Coles justly celebrated paintings on the Voyage of Life" The beginning of the voyage was beautifully pictured IS a child em- barking in frail craft upon the wa ters and all Is pure and Christlike. As time passes and the years of account ability are reached his bark encoun- ters many a dangerous rapids where great courage and strength of charac- ter are required to avoid being wrecked upon the rocks which con tinually surround him. At length having passed, under the watchfnl eye of an all wise Father, through the trying waters of busy life he is de- scribed as placidly floating, awaiting with confidence the call to the man sions prepared above.
 Mir. Taylor's presentation of the subject was clear and forceful and the members of the church and con gregating are very happy in having for a leader so able an exponent of truth.

Ignorant About Arizona.

It Is really surprising to learn how little outsiders know about Arizona. This is principally true in reference to our mining interests. The best il- lustration of this we have ever known came through the Denver tourists that came in yesterday on the train. There were eighty mining men, many of them prominent in Colorado as min ing men of repute. Yet of that num- Der only two ever heard of the great Jerome copper mines, and those two only learned of the existence of this great worlds camp few weeks ago. Think of that the largest and great est mine in the world today, unknown in the mining state of Colorado. Grip pie Creek is known the world over. Every man in Arizona knows of Grip pie Creek and to tell Colorado man that you don't know all about Cripple Creek would be regarsed as an insult. Yet the Jerome mine in Arizona is worth today ten million dollars more than all the mines in the entire dis trict of Cripple Creek, and again the output of the Jerome mine each year is greater than are all the mines in Cripple Creek together. Yet the min ing men of COlOradoasar rule, think that there are no mines outside of the gold camp in the mountains of Colorado Gazette.

CHAFEE WAS HOT.
He Tells Von Waldersee What He
 Thinks in ForcibIe Language.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The war de- partment has received a report from Chaffee concerning the letter to Field Marshal Von Waldersee, in which he used very vigorous language, pro testing against the footing of foreign troops. It is recognized here that Chaffee had provocation, but the in cident is very much regretted. It is significantly pointed out that it was not incumbent upon Chaffee to make any representation whatever to the field marshal as there was no longer any official tie between them. When the United States changed the char acter of its military representation in Pekin from an expeditionary force to a mere legation guard, that guard ceased to be under the control of the commander in chief of Pekin and became simply a part of Minister Conger's official household.

The Jerome News gives the follow ing account of the marriage of F. NJ. Metzgar and Miss Stanley Windes:
 Miss Stanley Windes, of Jerome, and Dr. F. NJ. Metzgar, of Prescott, were married in this city yesterday by the Rev. John Oliver, pastor of the Methodist church.

ANOTHER GALVESTON.
San Francisco Visited by Water Spout Which Destroyed Hund- reds of Lives and Mil
 lions in Property.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 1.-The report is telegraphed to this city this afternoon that water spout fell on San Francisco today and almost sub merged the city. Hundreds of lives are lost and millions of dollars of property destroyed; the wires are all down and full details cannot be se- cured. However, enough is learned to state that it is one of the most fearful disasters that ever occurred on the Pacific coast.
 The above telegram was clipped from the Phenix Enterprise of Dec. If. The Journal Miner on seeing it, immediately wired a query to Los Angeles in regard to details and re- ceived; in reply, early this morning, the following:
 There was only a big wind, some roofs were blown of and heavy rain. Nothing is said in papers here of any serious damage, and they say no one was hurt, but some property was damaged.

GOVERNOR MURPHY DlNED.
He Is Still Working to influence Mem. bers of Congress to Sup
 port Statehood.

c. c. Randolph, writing from
 Washington, says: Governor Mur- phy has been very busy since his ar rival in Washington last Saturday. He has tasted the hospitality of the Gridiron club, and reached the con clusiOn that newspaper men amount to something in this neck of the woods. At this particular dinner Mark Hanna was roasted to a turn Joe Jefferson, Chauncy NJ. Depew, former president Benjamin Harrison and other noted men contributed to the enjoyment of the evening.
 Governor Murphy is trying to in- duce the republican leaders in both houses to favor statehood for Arizona, but he encounters opposition by req son of the territory's failure to come in out of the wet last November. He will persist until he receives definite assurances one way or the other. There is no doubt that if Arizona had gone republican in the last cleo ton statehood would be easy of accomplishment. Old time republi- can senators like Platt, of Connecti- cut, who have opposed statehood for years on the ground that the politics of the territory were wrong, are not apt to change their opinion in the face of the election returns.

REPUBLICAN TRICK MULE.

The Managers Intend to Use Roose-
welt as n Side Show.
1t is quite obvious that the Republic
ans intend to utilize Theodore ROose-
welt in the presidential campaign as a
sort Of trick mule. In many directions
he appears to be amusing to bucolic
audiences, and he has the reputation
Of personal honesty, characteristic
which alone marks him as a freak
among the politicians with whom he Is
associated.
Hanna has taken him in hand and Is
teaching him variety Of stunts" He
has become already so docile that he
answers promptly to the name of "Ted-
dy" when spoken by the stern tanner Of
political elephants. He will appear
from now until election day in various
places, mostly out west, CARRIED, &C
cording to occasion and local tenden-
cies, as a Rough Rider, a governor who
promised to protect Taylor, the indict-
ed fugitive from justice; the civil serv-
Ice advocate, the great nomination de-
elmer, the more than great nomination
accepter and so on.
There Is no special reason why the
midsummer silly season should be rem
dered hotter and sillier by the specta-
Gle of "Cuba's conqueror" charging
over the country on bucking broncho
any more than there is for his strain
Ing his throat. lungs, teeth and khaki
riding breeches as he proposes to-

The Paramount Issues.

There will be no denying and ought
to be no disposition to deny the
strength of the Democratic statement
on Imperialism and trusts. Careful
reading Of both planks reveals use Of
language not to conceal thoughts. 1t is
not merely general In It's denunciation,
but specific in it's statement. The Dem
ocrats are not only opposed to imperial
ism, but they declare precisely what
they would do with the Philippines.
They are not only opposed to trusts,
but they state explicitly what they
would do with the tariff with reference
to the trusts. To this extent and be-
cause of the place that these things oc-
cupy in the platform the conservatives
won a victory. = Indianapolis News

CITY JAIL BURNED.
The Fire Starts About 5:l5 O'Clock
This Morning.
ONE PRISONER IS DEAD.
The Man--Page Supposed To Have Started
The Fire Jail Totally Destroyed.

About 5:15 this morning fire was
discovered in the city Jail just off
Commercial street, but when some of
the townsmen got there it was too
late to save the building, and the
only prisoner in the jail--Robert
Paget-put in about 3 o'clock this
morning, was taken out of the ruins
about 1870, most of his head legs
and arms being burned off.
He was drunk when put in and it
is supposed that he started the fire,
thinking thereby to escape or that
some one would come to his rescue.
He had been in Jail several times
lately, and recently made the threat
that he would burn the Jail the next
time he was put in.
Paget's remains are now at Scar
undertaking establishment where
they will be prepared for burial.
The Jail was totally destroyed, also
much of the fence around it, and a
large amount Of sewer pipe stored
there was about ruined. The loss to
the city is quite heavy.

STRIKE AT WARREN.
Rich Discovery in the Little Giant
Mine.

Warren, Idaho, July ga rich
strike has been made in the Little
Giant mine at this place, owned by
the Idaho Little Giant Mining com
pany, Limited
The strike was made along the old
adit level, just east of the main
working shaft, where the miners are
taking out about a Bottom block of
ore that was left by the former
owner.
In breaking into the ore, there was
disclosed a 6-inch streak of Hue and
green ore, rich in free gold. This
strike occurred several days ago, and
this streak is still in the face.
In speaking of the strike tonight,
General Manager Hill says that he
has had thorough milling test
made on the ore, and finds that it is
so rich that it will have to be ship
ped crude to smelter While the
ore is by no means up to the stand
ard of richness usually produced by
the mine, which is in all probability
unique among the mines of the world
for the richness of it's ores, the ore
from the strike assays $1245 per ton
in gold and silver.
A complete milling test made on
this ore, said Mr.. Hill, showed that
the taillngs gave loss of $45 per
ton, while the shines were valued at
1896 per ton. The ore was IS per
cent free and concentrated 6 into /
and concentrates showed value of
of $1494; still the loss in tailings
and shines would more than offset
the sorting of this ore, and the cost
of transportion and smelter charges. "
The ore is now being sorted as fast
as taken out, and sacked for ship
ment.
