Small Electric Lamps.

At one time miniature electric lamps were looked upon as novelties, but the demand for them has grown very materially, and they now find an i'm portant place in commercial affairs. Among the latest forms of these tiny illuminants is one having diameter of only seven-eighths of an inch. It is about eight inches long and weighs only one quarter of a pound. The shell is of aluminium, covered with a fine quality of leather, the combina- ton giving considerable strength and lightness. Each lamp has it's own battery, which is guaranteed for one year. The battery does not run out while the lamp is inactive, and main tains its full power up to the moment of exhaustion. Larger sizes of the lamp are respectively one and a quar- ter inches in diameter, weighing ten ounces; and ninesixteenths of an inch in diameter, weighing twenty ounces. The light from these lamps is remark able. They are specially handy for physicians, who, being called on night visits, have to enter dark houses. The lamps are also serviceable where a brilliant light is needed for short period of time, because of their ab- sence of flame. They are safer than matches or candles, and especially where light is needed in case of a gas leak. Special use of the larger sizes is to read meters which are placed in dark cellars, which under ordinary circumstances are difficult to make out.

YaVapai Miners Association.

The preliminary meeting held last evening for the purpose of taking steps for the formation of a Yavapai county miners association, was at tended by fifteen enthusiastic mining men, representatives of this industry being in attendance from different parts of the county. Beyond a gen eral discussion of the objects of the association and the appointment of committees for various purposes, no business was transacted and the meet ing adjourned to reconvene on Wed nesday, March 6. It was also decid- ed to postpone the election of officers until the third Wednesday in March, in order that as many signatures as possible may be obtained to the roll of membership to give ample time for all to attend the meeting. One of the committees appointed was for the purpose of securing membership to the association.

A New Consumption Cure.

Dr. George NJ. Barney, of New York, formerly president of the Long Island medical society, is the discov- erer of an alleged new cure for con sumption. He claims 30 per cent of recoveries under his system. I'm provement is supposed to be brought about and felt by the patient within a period of one week. The doctor is quoted as follows:
 My treatment consists of introduc- ing into the system a chemical or com bination of chemicals. This combina- tion thoroughly saturates the system and by the reason of its irresistible power, destroys bacilli without injur- ing the tissue cells. It is administered in three ways-through the mouth, hypodermically, aud in vapor form. When vapor is used, the patient in- hales from three to fifteen minutes while seated in a specially equipped steel cabinet. Personally I prefer the vapor, as it goes deep into the lungs and reaches the diseased parts. To effect cure, all the way from twelve to sixteen weeks of treatment is re- quired, according to the resistance of the disease and the recuperating physss ical condition of the patient"

A New Railroad.

The News has it from the best of authority that within the next few months the much talked of railroad to be built between Williams and Je- rome and down the Verde valley will be started, and the work to Jerome finished just as soon as possible. The benefit to be derived by the Verde country and especially Williams and Jerome, cannot be over estimated. The vast timber lands at and near Williams will, through this new road, be brought to the threshold of the great mines in the Jerome district, and it will bring Jerome in much closer touch with the coal fields from which she draws her supply of coal and coke and with the eastern mar kets, to which she ships her precious metals. It will make of Williams the largest railroad center in Arizona, giving her three railroads, the Grand Canyon, the Santa Fe Pacific and the Williams, Jerome and Verde Valley railroad.-Williams News.

Senator Hoar on Bribery.

Boston, February 13.-In his brill iant address to the legislature in honor of Lincoln's birthday, United States Senator G. F. Hoar spoke of the con- centration of wealth and its use in cor rupting the body polite. While he did not mention Senator Clark's name, no one could fail to perceive his ob- ject. He said:
 "The millionaire who would corrupt a great state to get a great office must be made to feel that his success will bring with it neither joy nor honor. Let public comment and scorn blast him. Let him be avoided as one with the leprosy. We shall not probably revive the ignominious punishments of the past; but if ever they are revived, let him be the first victim.
 "The whipping post, the branding on the forehead, the cropping of the ears, the scourging of the cats tail are light punishments which men who would debauch state, whether it be an old state with an honorable history or young and pure state in the be- ginning of its history. If we cannot apply them literally and physically, let the aroused public sentiment of his countrymen pillory and brand and scourge the infamous offender. Leave him to his family. Let him be an outcast from the companionship from freedom"
 Mir. Hoar said England had ban ished bribery, and the United States cOuld do if tOO.

DANGER IN TRUSTS.

Sir Richard Tangye, the great iron master, one of the foremost English business men, and writer on econ omics, gives the following statement regarding American trusts:
 'I am asked to give my opinion on the recent developments of this sys- tenn. Two years ago filed my opin- ions, which have only been strength ened by subsequent events. I then said America will one day awaken tc the stern reality of the evil, and when its nature is fully realized some strong Legislation must follow
 II believe if legislation does not ster in and treat these men in the same way it would treat other deadly enc mics of the states as has not beer seen since the accession of Abraham Lincoln to the supreme power. There is no tyranny in the world fit to com pare with the tyranny of the active scheming gold tyrant. It is incon ceiyable that 7O,OO0OOO free Ameri cans will bend their necks to such a sordid despotism; if they do they will deserve to be enslaved."

Frank Hamilton, the Minneapoli: newspaper man, has been found guilty of manslaughter for the killing ol Leonard Day.
 Edith Talbott, the well known actress was shot and probably fatally wounded as she was leaving Boston theatre after giving her farewell per. formance. Miss Talbot is engaged to be married shortly and with this performance intended to retire from the stage. She does not know who her mysterious assailant was, but it is thought he is some admirer, perhaps a crank enraged at her coming mar riage, and determined nobody should have her since he could not.

About week or ten days ago Mrs E. w. French, wife of ex-Probate Judge E. W. French, while walking in front of her house, slipped and fell sustaining injuries which resulted ir her death about l o'clock this morn. ing. Her parents, Mir. and Mrs. A.

 Her relatives have the sincere sym pathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION BILL.

Mir. Claypool's bill to reorganize the board of equalization is not a measure that is in any way in the in- terest of the territory or the public generally. It seems more like a measure calculated to draw a few hundred dollars extra from the tax payers of the various counties for the benefits solely of few politicians.
 There is neither sense or reason in it, as the board if constituted on the lines proposed would be too cumber- some for any practical use. The only excuse for the bill is to take the ap- pointment of the board out of the hands of the governor, because the governor Is a republican. If the leg islature Is bent on accomplishing this purpose, why not do it in way that would at least subserve the public in terests. If it is really in earnest in MAdb oGNCldl Ol llS u16luDtIS utN6 stated, in getting this board direct from the people, why not divide the territory into say five districts, as that number of members is sufficient to transact the business and then let the question of their selection become a question of political wrangle and dis pute.
 The Journal-Miner does not believe that the bill published elsewhere will become law at the present session as it has confidence in the good judg- ment of a majority of members of the legislative body of the territory. It is neither in the interests of economy or of good business hence itis believed if will ba defeated

Board of Equalization Substitute

The following is a copy of the bill introduced in the council to provide for a territorial board of equalization:

The members of said board shall elect from their number a chairman and secretary, and seven members of said board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The mem- bers of said board shall receive from their respective counties, in addition to all salaries and mileage paid them, by said counties, five dollars per day for the days said board is actually in session, and twenty cents per mile for each mile actually travelled in going to and from the place of meeting of said board, said mileage to be com puted by the nearest practicable route. The amounts due the mem- bers of said board shall be allowed and paid by their respective counties in the same manner as the compensa- tion of the members of the board of supervisors is paid; provided that no members of the board shall receive a per diem for more than twenty days in each year. The board shall meet at the capitol, in the city of Phenix, on the second Monday in August of each year, for the purpose of and they are hereby authorized and and re- quired to examine the various assess ments so far as regards the territorial tax, and to equalize the rate of assess ment in the various counties, when ever they are satisfied that the scale of valuation has not been adjusted with reasonable uniformity by the different assessors and boards of equalization of the several counties. The said board shall continue in ses- sion until the business before it shall be disposed of, and shall have access to and make use of all records in the office of the territorial auditor and ter ritorial treasurer which shall aid them in the disposition of such business, and the secretary of the said board shall keep a record of all the business transacted by the board.

Prohibits Cigarettes.

The New York, New Haven & Hart ford railway company has placed a ban on habitual cigarette smokers. They have no places for them. Those in the employ of the company who make a practice of smoking will not be re- tained and cigarette smokers need not apply for work. It seems that other standard American roads contemplate adopting the same rule. The time seems to be fast passing away when the best railway men are those who can stand up under the greatest num- Der of loads of rotgut and vile tobac- co. In the competition that Is now on employers are looking for clear-eyed and clear-headei men. This is the class that will win out in the end. The fellow who can carouse all night and work all day is passing off the stage. He was not always a bad fellow. In fact he was mostly a pretty good hearted sort of a chap. But flushing is not necessity to modern rail roading.-Ex.

Duncan Mine Disaster.

Reports received from Duncan, Ari- zona, says that seven of the nine men entombed in the Commerce gold and silver mine at Ash Peak were killed. Two only escaped with their lives. The scene of the disaster is seven miles from the railway station and de- tails are meager. The explosion of 150 pounds of giant powder created tremendous havoc.
 The mouth of the shaft was com pletely closed up with debris and the timbers took fire. Nine men were working at the depth of 200 feet. Of these one made his escape and sec one was rescued. The fate of the other was not revealed until Wednes- day when they were found dead at the bottom of the shaft.

scene lot of these globes were also arranged in the shape of horse shoe, on dark back ground which, when lighted, formed a beautiful picture. Visitors to the Worlds Fair and other large expositions witnessed electrical displays superior to this, but nothing equal to this has ever been attempted before in the southwest and was cer- tainly very creditable to the skill and enterprise of the Prescott Electric company.
 The other prize winners were: Miss Cora Thomas, representing the Bash ford-Burmister Co.,; Matte Hartin, representing w P. sCovillaud; Noreen Der, representing John Derr; Bertha Goldsw orthy, representing the Postal Telegraph company; Etta De Witt, representing Geo.

Fashions For the Spring.

The modes for spring are now talk ing definite shape and the Delineatol for the month of March illustrates and describes some decided novelties. Ii looks as though there might be re- turn of overskirts as represented by a series of two or three hounces. Eton jackets in various modern forms of modification are to be very popular this season and there will be ten dency to show PAiglon collars as ap- piled to jackets. The ripple back eff feet on skirts cut in habit fashion is also gaining ground, and the March Delineator contains an article written by an experienced dressmaker show ing how to produce this effect. French and Russian effects in the garments of children are becoming more pop ular.

Mir. and Mrs. T. NJ. Sloan, who have
 come here from Phenix to reside, have
 taken the residence 138 Alarcon street.
 Mir. Sloan supercedes William Solo mon in the position of city ticket agent of the $. F., P. & P. railroad.
 Funeral services over the remains of the late Mrs. E. w. French were held at the family residence last even ing at 7:30 o'clock, Rev. H. w. Peck officiating. As the remains were shipped on last nights train to Kirk land, en route to Walnut Grove for burial, it was not decided until late hour to hold services here, hence but short notice was given. The rooms, notwithstanding the brief notice, were, however, crowded with friends of the family to pay their last respects to the dead, as well as to manifest their sympathy for the bereaved relatives. A pitiful sight of the occasion, and one which would bring a heart of stone to sympathy, was to witness the uncomfortable and inexpressible grief of the little boy and girl, who have been so suddenly btrsft of the loving and devoted care of an affectionate mother, whose life was wrapped up in her children and relatives, and whose every thought was for their comfort. Forgetful entirely of herself, she in voluntarily thought only of contribu- ting to the happiness of those around her.
 Last evening Ed. Shumate held a grand reception at his new quarters on the west side of the plaza. The rooms have been handsomely fitted up in true city style, and are the fin est in Prescott. A general invitation had been extended to everybody in Prescott to attend the opening, and over 400 ladies and gentlemen were served with splendid lunch, consist ing of veal, ham, chicken, turkey, sal ads, sauce and coffee, the latter being the famous Chase & Sanborn's seal brand, which is used exclusively by him. Beautiful little aluminium sou venir spoons were given each lady, and MT. Shumate certainly deserves and received much praise for his enter prise. Those attending the carnival had been invited as well as others to this reception, and nearly all availed | themselves of the opportunity. The however, was entirely inde- pendent of the carnival, and was for all alike.
