Tie Easter Exercises.

The Easter service given by the Presbyterian Sabbath School last Sun. day evening was worthy of an extended notice. The church was attractive with floral inscriptions and crosses radiant with roses and lilies. The church choir, consisting of Mesdames Broadway, Summers and Wilson and Misses Nellie and Bogie Bartleson, sang two beautiful anthems in charm ing melody, while the singing by the school was far above the average. The following taking part in the pro gramme deserve much credit for their excellent work. After a hymn by the congregation and prayer by the pastor the Easter Greeting was spoken by Virrel Kersey; song and scripture reading by the school; recitation, Easter" by Linn Clark recitation, "Christ as Lily" by Louis Wilson {; exercise, "What the Lilies Teach, !"

Wireless TeIearaphy.

It is said that successful experiments have at last been accomplished in wire less telegraphy, and this would un- doubtedly be good thing, and revolu- tionize many. ways of doing business. One writer has gone so far as to say that wireless telegraphy is the greatest discovery of the age. We beg to differ.

 It was announced few weeks ago that the smelter at Silver City, N. M., would be closed down. The statement was the cause of much regret, parti- cularly so to mining men of southern Arizona, who shipped a large proPor- tion of their ores to Silver City. Since then, it is learned that the owners of the smelter have reconsidered their determination not to close the smelter. The fact is announced in the Enter prise of Silver City, N. M., which says: The Enterprise can announce that it is the intention of the new owners of the Silver City smelter to continue to operate that plant. They have very great faith in the future development of the mineral resources of Grant county, and their object and desire will be to continue the develop ment which has been going on here to the greatest extent possible. The management of the plant will be under the supervision of F. C. Earle, assistant manager at Fl Paso. E. Harms, super intendent will take charge of the operations here.

Steve Bailey came in last night from Florence, the advance guard of the Pinal democracy, which is coming in great force to see Col. Bryan. MT. Bailey says Florence continues to flour ish. Joe Mulhatton has temporarily turned his mining exchange over to George Thurston, late arrival from Nebraska, and has gone to Piety Flats to personally superintend the develop ment of some promising mining claims in that sacred locality. Work is going on at the big smelter of the Ray mine. Very little work is being done in the mine at present for the reason that enough ore has already been taken out for a five-year run. The present com pany has spent $S00,00O on the prop erty, but the exploration so far has shown many times that much money in it.-[ Phoenix Republican.

 Pinal county is making rapid strides in her mineral and other material de- velopment. Florence, the county seat, is feeling the vibration of the new stream of prosperity which is flowing from thevarious mining camps through the little city. Now let the water storage proposition urged by the people be made fact, and many thousands of acres of land in Pinal county will be added to the present fertile area of rich producing land. Then Pinal will soon march into the column of second-class counties of Arizona.

WAKING At NIGHT.

When I wake up alone at night
feel as if had no eyes;
I stare and stare with all my might,
But only bluckness round me lies.
I listen for the faintest sound.
And though strain with either sars
The dark is silent all around;
It's Just as il l could hear.
{;mt If lie with limbs held fast.
A sort of sound comes like sigh
Perhaps the darkness rushing past,
Perhaps the minutes passing by;
Perhaps the thoughts in peoples heads,
That keep SO quiet all the day,
Wait till they're sleeping in their beds,
Then rustic out and fly away!
Or else this noise like whirrng wings.
Tina: dies with the first streak of light,
May be the sound of baby things,
All growing, growing, in the night.
Children. and kitty-cats. and pups,
Or even little buds and flowers.
Daisies. perhaps, and buttcrcups.
All growing in the midnight hours,
And vet it seems Of me part
And nothing far away or queer.
It's just the beating Of my heart,
That sounds so strange as l lie here.
I do not know why this should be;
When darkness hides the world from
sight,
feel that all il gone but me-
A little child and the black night.
