MYSTERIOUS ELECTRIC nANI-
 FESTATIONS.
A New Jersey Kite Flyer Thinks He Has Caught Flashes from
 Other Planets.

William A. Eddy, of Bayonne, N
 J., says that since 1892 he has drawn
 from his kite wire hundreds of cleo tric signals, both regular and irregu- lar, which may have come from some planet, and the signals have been usually in groups of three, regularly timed like a Morse sounder. When the ends of the kite-sustained steel wires are separated by silk strands, the sparks jump at twelve-second in tervals. Then there are mysterious disappearances of all electric action for several minutes. These electric sparks come from a high point in the air, not near to the low tension cleo tric currents of trolley and live wires.
 Mir. Eddy is about to begin care ful series of measurements of these spark lengths. He does not believe that the Morse saunders affect his wire because the dynamo electricity sticks to its wire and does not radiate to unknown distances, so for as know, as do the high tension sparks drawn by him from the clouds.
 Mir. Eddy says that these sparks may come from an outer planet, be- cause electricity travels at the rate of 190,000 miles a second and is as tire less as light, which travels 1SS,300 miles a second, as measured by rapidly revolving toothed wheel. Great variability in effect is produced when there is apparently no change whatever in the condition of the up per air, so far as known.
 Mir. Eddy has been trying to de- cipher the signals since 1892. It is also to be noted that Tesla's signals come from Pike's Peak and at a high point in the air. MT. Eddy points out that electricity is superior to light because an interruption can be trans mitted, while light suffuses around a dark shadow, especially if the shadow is of smaller diameter.

 The links, while not offering the natural advantages of the course at Prescott, have been made interesting by the addition of artificial hazards.

Monday Club Open Session.

The Monday club held an open or social session on Thursday, January 10th, which was very enjoyable af- fair. The usual papers and other literary features of the club were en- tirely dispensed with. A game called "The Bishops Physical Puns" fur nished interesting entertainment to the members, two prizes being offered. The number of correct answers for the first prize were so great that seve- ral ladies tied, and on the cut the prize was won by Mrs. T. G. Norris. Mrs. E. R. Coleman was awarded the second prize. Most elegant refresh ments were also served, and the open session was voted a complete success by the members.
 The efficiency with which the com mittees discharged their duties of course added largely to its success. These were composed as follows:
 Entertainment -Mesdames r. A. Tritle, H. Goldwater, J. V. Shepard. NJ. E. Morin.
 Refreshments-M -Mesdames R. R. Coleman, O. A. Hesla, J. W. Akers and D. M. F. Weeks.
 The session was held at the resi- dence of Mrs. W. W. Ross.

It was really unnecessary for Hon. Benjamin Harrison to dignity with a denial the silly story that he was try ing to have the army reorganization bill defeated by congress to humiliate President Mckinley.
 The renewal of the discussion of the project for making the presidential term longer and prohibiting reelec- tionis a good thing. It would be better for our presidents and better for the country.
 Senator Frye, who usually knows what he is talking about, says there isn't the slightest doubt of the senate passing the shipping bill, rotwith- standing the wild talk of few of its opponents.
 Russia has abolished the saloons, except in Moscow, where they will cease to exist next year, and in Si- beria, where they will be abolished in 1903. Although this is announced as a moral reform, and it will unqqes- tionably be such to many, it does not abolish either the manufacture or the sale of intoxicants, but they can only be sold in bottles, and by agents of the government. as under the South Carolina dispensary law.
 Building log cehins would be no sign of poverty if they were all like the one that is being built on War ren island, off the coast of Maine, for a Philadelphian, which will cost when ready for occupancy S75,OO0.
 'The Courier predicts that Prescott will have street car line running out to well garrisoned post in less than two years from date. Prescott pros poets pans out colors of that tint. ." We quite agree with you, Bro. Rogers, and sincerely hope your prediction will prove true to the letter. Let no man put straw in the way of the complete fulfillment of the prophecy, but rather let us work, early and late, in season and out of season, for this end, which will do more than any other thing for the up building of Prescott and making her the metrop- oils of Arizona. The time for a united effort is now at hand and anything that will aid in building up, beautify- ing and bettering the city, should have the help, financial and moral, of every good citizen.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Several senators worked off their left over campaign speeches on ''im- perialism" in the debate on the army reorganization bill.
 We trust that socialism will never grow strong enough in this country to have dangerous candidate for the presidency, notwithstanding the pre- diction of Senator McGomas that Mir. Bryan will play that role.
 Webster Davis lightning change from an office holder to a heavy manipulator of real estate may be ac- counted for in a perfectly legitimate way. Perhaps he is merely putting some of Oom Paul Kruger's savings into safe investments.
 As long as the list of those who have failed because they insisted upon being the whole thing is, there a1e those who will not accept it as warning.
 Perhaps some of President McKin- ley's great personal popularity arises from the fact that he saws wood and does not hunt ducks.
 In saying that he saw imperialism" in the acts of the Philippine commis- sion, Senator Teller made it plain that his eyes needed treatment. When a man sees what doesn't exist he is in bad way.
 Mir. Bryan does not require intend ing subscribers to his paper who send the price, to produce afhdavits that they are not plutocrats or in any way connected with the oc- topus.
 Senator Quay is another example of the adage that he who laughs last laughs best"
 According to an announcement of the civil service commission, Mary land, Virginia and Vermont are the only states which have received more than their quota of appointments in the government service, at Washing ton.' The District of Columbia, which is only entitled to 2S places, has BIS.
 English capitalists will erect big factory in Louisiana to make paper out of 'bagassee," heretofore wasted product of sugar cane.
 The Jerome Reporter advises all citizens of Jerome to Tend their moral support to the division of Yavapai county" They will find it about the poorest investment they can make, as they will never be able to recover the Drincipal or any interest thereon.

Mohave County Mines.

The Lucky Boy pay chute is stead ilv widening as depth is reached and the ore grows richer. At depth of about 250 feet the ore is two feet wide and averages S125 per ton. Regular shipments are made from this prop erty.
 Frank Wilson returned from Guar tette Sunday with the opinion that the Quartette people have one of the biggest mines on earth, and that there are others in that locality. The com panv will build narrow guage road from the mine to their forty stamp mill now almost completed on the river sixteen miles from the mine.
 A Wealth reporter inspected the oro.ing ore dump of the Mollie Gibson mine this week and saw chunks of ore that would bother Sampson to turn over. The Molly Is all right. and the main shaft is widen ing the pay chute with. every foot of depth. Col. Harris, one of the own CTS. and general manager, will make a shipper out of the Molly Gipson in very few days. He will sink the shaft 500 feet, and from the looks of things the shaft will be in ore all the way. The value of the ore shipped by the car is 57 ounces silver, s gold and 50 per cent lead. AIr. Bush is the SUI perintendent, and T. J. Grant super intends the mine and does as much work as two men besides. The Mol lie GipsOn is now in good hands and the people of the district are glad of it.-Our Mineral Wealth.
 The work of putting in forty addi- tional stampts to the Congress mill is Iapidlv progressing toward comple- ton. The addition to the mill is large enough to admit of twenty more stamps in addition to the forty, which would make an aggregate of lO0 stamps. The company expects to have this number in operation within the next year or two.

MINES
 AND
 MINING.
Mining Items From Groom Greek.

| The following items from our Groom creek correspondent is the con cluding part of the letter of January 6.
 On the north joining these claims are W. N. Kelly's five patented claims, North and South Lone Star mines, GazeIl. Surprise and Nevada. The Gazell has 90 foot tunnel and 40 foot shaft, the surprise a 70 foot shaft, and the Nevada a 135 foot shaft There has been good amount of shipping ore taken from these mines and there are lots of good chutes of good ore cropping out on the surface. l These mines have not been worked for years but it is hoped that work will be resumed on them in the near future. They have plenty of good timber and water on them. Adioiniug these are the Midnight Test group of mines. Mir. Pickrel is milling his second class ore and ship wing his first class. This is a very rich little silver mine.
 East and little further down the creek is the Home Run group of mines, Dan Monihan superintendent and manager. The further in the drifts they go the more water they 1 have to contend with but inside of week they will have their new 4O-horse power boiler and hoist and station pump. The pump will be at the 130 foot level with stump cut for it. MT. Monihan is going to sink again as he is well pleased with the outlook and has good bodies of ore in the north and south levels.
 Adjoining these on the north IS the Amy, owned by James OCOnnell, the man who bonded the Home Run group to MT. MOnihan. He has had two men working on this mine for some time and short time ago they struck l6 inches of free milling ore that will plate S4S per ton.
 West of these mines and running paralell are the Huff and Ross mines. They have got whim on their prop erty and are down 110 feet. This IS a good little mine. They had 40 tons of ore miIled a month or so ago that plated $50 per ton, while the concen- trates went $50 per ton.
 Going down the creek further we have Ross and Slack and Sons mines running parallel with the Monte Christo mines. There has not been enough work done on them to say how big they are going to prove to be but what ore they have taken out runs we'll in lead and silver.
 Tn my next letter I will try and tell YOU what we have over here on the middle and south forks of the creek.

Santa Es Will improve its System.

The Santa Fe railroad company is preparing to begin the twentieth cen tury with new equipment for the line in this jurisdiction, and the order now out are to involve an expenditure oi nearly Sl,000,000. News have reached the Los Angeles headquarters of the system that the company is to place into service at an early date a total oi 800 new refrigerator cars, to meet the needs of the California fruit traffic Eight new passenger coaches have just been delivered at Albuquerque for use on the lines west of that point All of the latter are for mountain hauling and none will go as far west as Los angeles.
 The company now has out orIiers for 100 water cars, each able to carry 10000 gallons, the same to be deliv- cred within sixty days. They are in tended for service on the desert on the Albuquerque and Arizona divisions.
 One hundred and twenty-five oil tank cars were recently ordered foi use on the Southern California and San Joaquin valley lines. All but 2 of these cars have already been de livered. The additions to the last named equipment have been excep- tionally welcome, as the local indus try has suffered somewhat because of the shortage that has been on in this particular.
 The passenger traffic continues ex- ceptionally heavy and the company's resources are being taxed to meet the requirements.

A Washington dispatch of January Sth says: Apprehension is felt in of ficial circles that the controversy which has arisen over asphalt lake concessions in Venezuela may require forcible intervention by the United States. According to the highest au- thority, the president has no intention of interfering between the rival American claimants to the cOuCes- sions, but it does not intend to per init the Venezuelan government tC cancel a concession given in good faith to American citizens and fOrci- bly, dispossess the concessionaries Oi their property until a judicial decision has been rendered in support of this action. Under the instructions given to him, Minister LoOmis Is urging the Caracas government not to attempt tC dispossess the New York and the Bermudez company until the supreme court of Venezuela has passed upon pending lawsuits which involve the question in dispute, but the unofficial information received in Washington indicates that the Venezuelan govern ment insists fhat it has the right to dispossess the New York and Bermu- dez company and is taking measures to do so. Employees of the New York and Bermudez company, most of whom are Americans, are armed and will resist dispossessiOn. In case of an armed conflict, the United States will have to act, and it is in an ticipation of this contingency that three warships were ordered to La Guayra.

CAUGHT IN INDIANA.
Sam Bowers, of Canton, Ar
rested By Sheriff Zaiser
at Ind polis.

A telegram was received at the
sherlff's Office Thursday afternoon
from Sheriff John ]. Zaiser, dated In
dianapolis, Ind, stating that he would
be at home Friday evening with Sam
uel Bowers, of Canton, whom he ar
rested on charge of non-support. The
warrant was sworn out by Elizabeth
Bowers, before Justice Bowman An.
gust 24th. Requisition papers were
secured and the sheriff started for In
diana Tuesday afternoon. 1t was
feared that the governor Of that state
would not recognize the papers, owing
to the fact that Governor Nash, of
this state, has twice refused to honor
acquisitions of the Indiana governor
for the return of Senator Frank B.
Archer, of BellaiTe, to answer to an
indictment at Bedford, that state.
The Indiana governor evidently hon
ored the reQuisition as the sheriff
stated he would bring the prisoner
IIe is accused of failing TO provide for
Mary Mabel Bowers, aged IL years.
