EDITORIAL NOTES.

Pretty Mrs. Kennedy, who shot and killed her husband in Kansas City last February, four days after the marriage ceremony was performed, has been found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years in the pen itentiary. She fired five shots at her husband, all of which took effect and any one of which would have proven fatal. While the killing in the eyes of the law was not justifiable, it was one of those cases of wronged woman by heartless young man, for which the law provides no adequate punishment and where society gained by the death of the victim.
 Earl Russell of London, who last year eloped with and married Mrs Mollie Somerville at Reno, Nevada, has been arrested in London, charged with bigamy. In default of two thousand pounds bail he was sent to jail.

A Runaway Engine.

A wild engine made a mad run from the railroad yards at Seligman recently that might have been the cause of a whole lot of trouble. but which fortunately resulted in no seri- ous accident. An employee in the yards climbed on an engine and pull ed the throttle open, at the same time pulling the reverse lever over. The engine with a bound staIted eastward on yard track which rattled the man and he threw the reverse lever back. bringing the engine to stop, but it immediately started in the other di- rection. The man by this time was so rattled that he did not have the pres ence of mind to close the throttle and down through the yard the engine dashed. over the switch and out on the main track. The man who had turned on the steam left the machine to its fate by jumping off. As he had given full vent to the steam the en- zine started on wild run towards the Colorado river, gaining speed all the time until the Chino bridge was crossed, where it encountered an up grade, but under the full head of steam given it continued to ascend the grade at rapid speed, and con tinued on its course until past Aubrey station, about ten or twelve miles west of Seligman, where the supply of steam was exhausted. Fortunately it had the right of way for the entire distance and no damage resulted from the race, but the man wto turned it loose is no longer working in the Seligman yards.

Arizona and Mexico Mines.

From an interview with MT Mitchell, the Los Angeles Times gives the following information con- cerning the Green Consolidated mines, 40 miles south of Bisbee, Ari- zona:
 "Mr. Mitchell, who few years ago was a laborer working in the mines at Jerome, is now a multi-millionaire through the investment of a few hun dred dollars in the now famous Green Consolidated. Their stock has increased from a few cents per share to S65, which Mir. Mitchell was offered and declined. This is only a repeti- ton of the history of the United Verde at Jerome, the Copper Queen at Bisbee and several other copper properties in this territory"
 All these properties were in a posi- ton in the early stages of develop ment requiring capital to work out their destiny. and hence were forced to place stock at a figure that would induce capital to take hold of them and as development proceeded the stock sold has increased in value to a thousand-fold.
 Such is now the position of the Modern Mining Company of Bisbee whose ad. appears in other columns and while their stock is now selling rapidly at 10 cents per share, Mir Howard, the secretary and treasurer, predicts that it is sure to advance rapidly until it will be as valuable as any of the great copper producers of that famous region. Mir. Howard re- ports several good sales of stock in Prescott and expects to place in the next four days all the stock the com pany cares to sell at this figure.
 Intending purchasers will act wisely to buy early and get the benefit of the first as well as subsequent ad- vances.

AN OIL REFINERY FOR CALIFORNIA.

The California oil business, which
 for some time has been at low ebb
 gives promise now of an early revival
 In addition to the getting together of
 the producers on a basis which will
 prove mutually beneficial to all, a
 refinery of large capacity now seems
 to be an assured fact. A telegram
 from Stockton says that city is to
 have such an institution at an early
 day. The telegram reads as follows:
 Stockton is to have a large oil refin- cry and in it will be centered one of the largest industries ever established in California. Today w. H. H. Hart of San Francisco was in this city look ing over a site for the refinery. He decided on a suitable location and bond was made out and will be sign ed before the end of the week. Arti- cles of incorporation of the Stockton Oil Refinery are being drawn up and will be filed at once. The corpora tion is to be one of the largest in the state, as Hart represents Henry c. Prick, the eastern steel magnate, and other capitalists, who represent fully S20,000,O00, which is to be spent in this state. The refinery is to cost at least S200,00O, and it is to be a mod ern structure in every sense of the word, in addition to being the largest In California. The object of locating it in Stockton near the water front is to be on tidewater, so that the oil can be handled without having to depend on the railroads. To accomplish this the corporation proposes torun a pipe line or railroad from the Kern county wells, so that the railroads cannot die tate the freight rates on the crude pro duet. This of course would make the l entirely independent. A of the new company las already purchased 10000 barrels 1f Kern oil and has announced that 100000 barrels will be contracted or as soon as the company is organ zed. The first shipment of 10000 barrels is to be delivered here on Sep ember l, and the same amount will 'e shipped to Stockton each month. The price has not been announced, put it Is understood to be D cents ,er barrel.

A gray, slow-mOving, dust be-powderec
 wave,
 That on the edges break to scattering
 spray, Round which my faithful collies wheel an
 bark
 To scurry in the laggard feet that stray; A babel of complaining tongues that make The still air weary with their ceaseless fret Brown hills akin to those of Galilee, On which the shepherds tend their charges
 yet. The long, hot days, the stark, wind-beaten
 nights; No human presence, human sight CT sound : Grim. silent land of wasted hopes, where
 they Who came for gold oft-times have madness
 found A bleating horror that foregathers speech, Freezing the word that from the lips would
 pass, And sends the herdsman grovelling with his
 sheep, Face down and beast-like on the trampled
 grass. The collies halt, the slow herd sways and
 reels, Huddled in fright above the low ravine, Where wild with thirst herd unshepherded Beat up and down-with something dark
 between; A narrow circle that they will not cross, A thing that stops the maddest in their
 run A guarding dog too weak to lift his head Who licks still hand shriveled in the sun. -Sharlot NJ. Hall, in Land of Sunshine.

Work was commenced few days ago sinking for water at Seligman, by the railroad company. The location for the well was located by a man who claims to possess certain quail ties which are infallible in the loca
 ton of water. He is under bond to the company, by a strong financial concern of St. Louis that a given amount of water will be found at the location selected, and in case of fail ure to do so he is to pay all the ex- pense of boring, and in case of sue cess he is to receive S5000 for making the selection of the place. The well is located just north of the town. The railroad company has been extremely successful thus far in boring for water, as during the past few months out of twenty six wells bored by them they have only failed to secure an ample water supply in three wells. In well sunk by them at Fenner on the Mohave desert they bored 500 feet deep, nearly 700 feet of which was in solid granite and the water rises to within 200 feet of the surface

Mistakes to Avoid.

It is mistake to set up your own standard of right and wrong and judge people accordingly.
 To measure unemployment of others by your own.
 To expect uniformity of opinion in this world
 To look for judgment and experi- ence in youth.
 To endeavor to mould all dIsposi- ,tions alike.
 To look for perfections in our own actions.
 To worry ourselves and others with what cannot be remedied.
 Not to yield in immateriaI matters.
