Attorney J. D. Wakely is to be eOH- mended for the tireless and jealous manner in which he is interesting himself in behalf of his client, ID. Miller, who was sentenced recently to Yuma. During the trial of the case in court, Mir. Wakely, as volun- teer attorney for Miller, not only made logical appeal for the liberty of the "old man" but ikewlse did he generously offer to go into his own pocket and pay any fine which the court might impose on the defendent. While a sentence of imprisonment was given, MT. Wakely is now just as active and sincere to secure a pardon from the governor, as he was to free his client before the court. Mir. Mil ler's case is a sad one, and one also that calls for the exercise of clemency, and whether he is to be liberated or not, bright side of the question is the humane course this attorney is pursuing for his friend. As rule among lawyers when remuneration for their labors end, so does interest and service in the cause necessarily wane.
 Jos. Tamborino was sentenced to- day for the third time under the same conviction. He received the first sen tence on June 30, 1899, and his case has been up before the supreme court on appeal, the decisions of the lower court being sustained. On the show ing made in the mandate of the supreme court, Judge Sloan today or dered that the sentence of the court, as formerly pronounced, take effect from today.
 Sentence of Fred Willis, convicted of adultery will be pronounced to- morrow.

PROGRESS IN ARIZONA.
Col. Thomas Ewing Tells of What he
 Saw Recently.

Colonel Thomas Ewing, who has just returned from Arizona, where he has spent four weeks, is much pleased with the condition of mining affairs in the territory. He said yesterday that capital is more plentiful there than ever before for investment in mining property, and general air of improvement prevails. Prescott has become a modern, clean town, and it is difficult to keep track of all the progress being made in mining throughout that section.
 Colonel Ewing said that he had visited the Gro Grande mines, where a great strike was recently made, and though the present owners bought the property a few months ago for S26,000 they could sell it quickly now for S300,000. The workmen have cross cut the vein sixty one and half feet without coming to either wall, and both faces are in fine ore which horns free gold. He believes that below water level the mine will change to a copper proposition.
 Through Arizona the great ten dency is toward copper mines as that ore is apt to run much richer to the ton than gold, the latter metal is by no means neglected.
 Speaking of the economy with which ores are coming to be handled Colonel Ewing said that he visited the Keystone mine, thirteen miles east of Wickenburg, where a gasoline power hoist has just been put in, and the hoist is kept busy hoisting ore from the 400 foot tunnel twelve hours a day, consuming but twelve gallons of distillate, which costs 27 cents a gallon at the mine. The mine has been installing some fine new machin- ery.-Los Angeles Herald.

MALICIOUS AND VINDIcTIVE.

Our contemporary discloses the cloven foot of personal malice and vindictiveness, rather than that of honest political criticism in an article in this mornings issue. Every time Governor Murphy visits Prescott, it has been a noticeable fact for long time that the Courier never misses an opportunity to offer him a gratuitous personal affront through its columns without any provocation or without any political significance, of which the following is sample:
 "The Courier does not believe that Murphy can get lick amiss. Even if some patriot whacks him for some thing he did not do, the whack can be credited to some cussedness that he did do. We notice that Murphy has been filling territorial board with straight republicans and that some of our democratic friends are very wroth thereat. If we could ever get a straight democrat on these boards, there would be more ground for indignation at Murphy's proce- dure in making them wholly republi- can in name as well as in fact. But, when it comes to be a choice as to whether we are to have so-called Murphy democrat on these boards or a straight republican, the Courier will throw up its hat for the straight republican every time. Talk about stealing, the fel- lows who are called Murphy demo- crats start in by stealing the name of the democratic party, and could not give a straight definition of honesty in public affairs, without suffering, to save their lives. We can logically conclude that there are honest repub- licans, but no course of reasoning can bring forth the honesty of the critter who is chased as a Murphy demo- crat."
 It does not take a very close stu dent of human nature or a close analysis of the language employed in the above to disclose the personal animus which prompts it.

Hell's Canyon Bridge.

The concrete piers and abutments for the Hells Canyon railroad bridge have been completed and are now ready for the steel structure. The contractors for this concrete work have rushed it to completion much sooner than was expected, hence the steel is not ready for the superstruc- ture. It is expected to commence to arrive about August l.
 There are sixteen piers and two abutments to the bridge. The bridge will be 646 feet 2 inches long, and over the center of Hell's canyon will be 1S6 feet high. The concrete piers are built about ten feet below the sur face of the ground and to a height of about twelve feet above the surface. The work is said to be very perfect, and when completed the bridge will be one of the finest west of the Mis- souri river. The longest span will be ninety feet. ...

Unless she is a healthy mother. No woman can. If the baby has drained her vitality; if its care is a tax; if, in short, the baby is a burden instead of blessing, how can she enjoy it? She loves it, but she cannot feed 1t. She yearns for it, but has not the strength to fondle it.
 There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a healthy mother and her healthy child. The madonna is the highest reach of human art. In the serene strength which art gives to the typical mother and child there IS distinct denial of suffering and weakness as necessity of motherhood. But how few women are there to whom motherhood is naturally an abiding joy. In how many cases a woman dates her loss ot bealth from the birth of her child To all such suffering women Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription comes as ver1table god-send. It prepares the mother for her hour of trial, tranquilizes her nerves. encourages her appetite, and brings her restful sleep. It makes the baby's ad- vent practically painless, and gives the mother abundant strength to nurse and nourish her child.
 Every claim made for vFavorite Pre- scription is supported by the testimon- ials of wives and mothers, thousands in number, and covering in their several experiences the whole range of womanly suffering. In a great number of cases after the utter failure of all doctors and medicines, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre- scription, tried as last resort, has ef- fected perfect and permanent cure.
 Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All womanly con- fidences held under the seal of strict professional privacy. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.
 There is no alcohol in rFavorite Pre- scription !" and it is entirely free iron, opium, cocaine, and all other narcotics.

 David Nation, the unfortunate hus- band of Carrie Hatchet Nation has served notice on the world that he and Carrie are no longer one. Car rie's little hatchet seemed to be the cause of their split up.
 There are plenty of people who are willing to stick up location notices on mining claims but are not willing to do any work on them and if other parties locate them legitimately, trump up some sort of claim as a basis of law suit.
 Our contemporary contains numer. ous mentions this morning of its vim dictive attack on Governor Murphy, in which it advocated the ''whacking' of Governor Murphy whether right or wrong. While il jumps" the Jour mal- Miner in its usual bushwhacking style, it makes no attempt to defend its own cause, but on the contrary shows marked signs of repentance by keeping the article in question out of its weekly issue.

The upper floor will have about twenty private lodging rooms, the ar engagement and furnishings of which will be in harmony with the rest of the building.
 A pleasant feature of the upper floor will be the lobby in front. This is about 30x10 feet and furnishes a splendid view of the city and an ideal place to sit and chat and have a pleasant smoke, while drinks can be served through dumb waiter which leads up from the bar, which is sup piled with speaking tube for giving orders. This will undoubtedly be a popular resort of evenings. Thus from basement to top floor everything is first class and convenient.
 With such trio as Messrs. Brow Belcher and Smith, all of whom are we'll and favorably known business men and citizens of the community behind any proposition, nothing but success could be expected, and they will undoubtedly make grand sue cess of this venture, which men of less enterprise and faith in the future greatness of Prescott would have hesitated before undertaking. They deserve success and the Journal Miner hopes they may have it.
