Ladies Home Journal.

"The Anecdotal Side of Theodore Roosevelt" gives sharp, clear views of the strenuous life of our many-sided Vice-President Elect in the March Ladies Home Journal. These anec- dotes reveal the characteristics of his remarkable personality, and are fresh ly told by his closest frinds. The witching "Widow and Her Friends" '" of Charles Dana Gibson's creation, are vivified into stage personages and introduced in two act comedy by Marguerite Merington-a Gibson play with Gibson men and women and Gibson illustrations. ''The Only American Girl Who Ever Married a King" recalls the almost forgotten romance of New England girl who came near to wearing a crown, and 'The Lovliest of All Kentucky Girls" recounts the social triumphs of a Southern beauty. Edward Box writes on topics of wide spread interest, and Helen Watterson Moody describes ''Girls Who Go In For Something" The fiction feature of the March Jour nal, ':The Authors Reading at Bixby Centre" is in Kate Douglas Wiggin's best vein. "A Successful Country House at Bryn Maws" and "A Subur- ban House for S65O0" show the beau ties of good architecture. Music lovers will be delighted with the musical setting of Eugene Fields Armenian Lullaby" and all women with the showing of feminine fashion, appropos of Easter By the Curtis Publishing company, Philadelphia.

About a Shelter Site.

In discussing the question of es- tablishing large reduction plant in Prescott, H. B. Clifford stated to a Journal Miner reporter that the Stand ard Smelling and Refining company would be highly pleased to locate their plant in Prescott, instead of at their proposed site on the Agua Fria, if conditions were favorable. They would really prefer Prescott as it is a more central point. The question of water supply is, however, serious drawback towards locating in Pres colt. Mir. Clifford says that such a plant as the above company proposes building, when in operation would re- quire not less than 100000 gallons of water per day, in case the water should not be pumped back and be used over and over again, and by even doing the latter, and using all the water possible over again it would re quire 300,000 gallons per day. The past experience of Prescott has been such that an assurance of this amount of water is not possible, hence the impracticability of erecting the smell ter here.
 MT. Clifford states that in addition to the natural advantages possessed by Prescott on account of its central location, he would prefer erecting the smelter here as he has become identi- fled with the town by investing in real estate and has taken up his resi- dence here and naturally has kindly feeling for the place on this account, and it is source of much regret that the lack of water prevents his com pany from entertaining any such a proposition.

Mining intelligence.

J. P. Bauder, who has just returned from a visit to Groom creek, expresses it as his opinion that the above dis trict is the Cripple Creek of Arizona.
 A rich strike of ore is reported to have occurred at Kirkland valley re- gently, the luckey discoverers of it be- ing Messrs Rudy and Norton. The ledge is said to be four feet wide, as- say values of S22.00 per ton in gold were obtained from prOmiscous sam ples of it. Rich float has been found repeatedly in the vicinity of the new strike and it is thought that this is the ledge from which it came.

Seeds That Surely Grow.

The cost of seeds compared with the value of the crop is so small that a few cents saved by buying second rate seeds will amount to many dol lars lost when the harvest is gathered. Farmers have found out by many costly failures what a risky thing it is to buy seeds without being pretty sure that they are reliable and true to name. The latest catalogue of the seed house of D. NJ. Ferry & Co. of Detroit, Mich, is reminder that thou sands of farmers in the United States and Canada have pinned their faith to the reputation of the great firm. During a business career approaching half a century in time, Ferry's seeds have won an annual increase in popu- larity, which is perhaps the best evi- dence that they grow and give satis- faction. Ferry's Seed Annual for 1901 is useful guide in selecting seeds for the farm, the truck garden and the flower garden. It is sent free on ap- plication.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Democratic papers are actually
 praising President Mckinley for his
 refusal to permit the American forces
 to participate in the Waldersee- Chi
 nese expedition.
 The Flagstaff Gem announces its
 unalterable opposition to the creation
 of any office which cannot be pre- empted by some democrat. This is
 not its exact language, but is its exact
 meaning.
 The Cuban convention was called to devise a plan for governing the island and to determine its future re
 lations with the United States. So far, it has totally neglected the latter matter. General Wood therefore has been instructed to notify the leaders that the constitution as drawn will not be satisfactory to the United States.
 Delaware and Nebraska should set tie down to business. Four senators are at stake in them, and if their bick- erings prevent an election until the democrats have had another chance to choose legislature they will desire to be represented in the senate by men of that party.
 The Diamond Match Company has declared the largest dividend in its history. Most people, however, think that it would be we'll for the company to devote part of its next dividend to devising a match that will not break when you try to scratch it.
 The Spooner bill for the govern ment of the Philippines is identical, in all material terms, with the bill adopted by the democrats hundred years ago for the government of Lou isiana. Why should the party of Jef- ferson object to the law he drewi
 It is pretty tough on Jay Gould's son-in-law to have to pay for his fur niture on the installment plan.
 A bill has just passed the lower house of the legislature providing for establishing reform school at Ben son. The territory of Arizona has lbout as much use for a reform school IS mud turtle has with a pair of wings. Through the efforts of a for ner democratic legislature the terri ory was mulcted into the expendi- ure of thousands of dollars to estab- ish reform school, and after the was completed it remained . dle for number of years until it vas finally turned into branch Nor nal school, an expensive luxury for , he territory in its present condition. The few ineorrigible youths which are l ound in the territory could be main- aimed in some suitable reformatory ! n California at very much less ex- ,ense than it would cost to maintain n institution for that purpose in the I erritory. It seems singular thing , hat as soon as legislature meets all orts of schemes are sprung to get own into the taxpayers pockets t eeper and to plunge the territory a lore deeply in debt.

ON THE TRAIL OF DEATH.

Miss Sharlot M. Hall contributes tC the February "Land of Sunshine the following poem which the New York Evening Post has called "The most vivid and terrible picture of the desert ever put into verse;" Miss Halls Southwestern poems have won her the title of 'The Poet of The Des- ert." An illustrated sketch of her literary work will appear in the "Land of Sunshine" for March.
 ON THE TRAIL OF DEATH. (The old desert trail between Sonora
 and California;
 We rode from daybreak; white and hot
 The sun beat like hammer stroke On molten iron; the blistered dust
 Rose up in cluods to sere and choke: But on we rode, gray-white as ghosts,
 Bepowdered with that bitter snow; The stinging breath of alkih
 From the grim, crusted earth below. Silent; our footsteps scarcely wrung
 An echo from the sullen trail; Silent, parched lip and stiffening tongue,
 We watched the horses fall and fail; Jacks first; he caught my stirrup- strap;
 God help mel but I shook him of: Death had not diced for two that day
 To meet him in that devils trough. 1 flung him back my dry canteen;
 An ounce at most,-weighed drop by drop With life; he clutched it, drank, and laughed
 Hard, hideous; peal to stop The strongest heart then turned and ran
 With out flung arms. and mad eyes set, Straight on, where 'gainst the dun sky's rim,
 (rraau fraas sfrnnI mn. or,1 onol Long silver waves broke on the sand.
 The cursed mirage, that lures and taunts The thirst-scourged lip and tortured sight
 Like some lost hope that mocking taunts A dying soul. I tried to call;
 The dry words rattled in my throat; And sun and sand and crouching sky
 God! How they seemed to glare and gloat Keeling caught the saddle horn;
 On, on; but now it seemed to be The spring house path, and at the well
 My mother stood and beckoned me: The bucket glistened; drip, drip, drip,
 1 heard the water fall and plash Then keen as hell the burning wind
 Awoke me with its fiery lash. On, on; what was that bleaching thing
 Across the trail? dared not look; But on; blind, aimless-til the sun Orept grudging past the hills and took His curse from of the gasping land: The blessed dusk my gaunt horse raised | His head and neighed and staggered on; And l, with bleeding lips, half crazed, Laughed out; for just above us there, Rock-caught against blackened ledge, little pool; one last hard climb;
 Full-spent we fell upon its edge,- )ne still forever; weak lay
 And drank hot hands and temples laved ack gone, Alas the horses dead: But night and water; was saved,

Opposed to Irrigation Bill.

A monster massmeeting is proposed to be held shortly at Camp Verde to enter vigorous protest against the passage of the Ivy irrigation bill now pending before the legislature. The bill in question affects about 1900 people along the Verde river and its tributaries, and they are said to be opposed to it to man. It will entail additional expense and burdens on them without any compensating bene- fits. It is probable that some Promi- nent citizen of the valley will be se- lec
