The Editor.

A school boy is said to have produced the following essay on the editor: ! Newspapers are sheets of paper on which stuff is printed. The men look over the paper to see if their names isn't in it, and women use it to put on shelves. 1 don't know how newspaper men came into the world. I don't think God knows. The Bible says nothing about editors and I guess the editor is the missing link them fellows talk about. The first editor I ever heGrd of was the man who wrote up the flood. He has been here ever since. Some editors belong to the church and some try to raise whiskers. All of them are liars, at least all that know, and I know only one. Sometimes the paper dies, and then the people feel glad, but some one else starts it up again. Edi- tors never went to school because they never got licked. Our paper is mighty poor one, but we take it so ma can use it on our pantry shelves. Our editor don't amount to much, but paw said he had poor chance when he was boy. He goes without underclothes in the winter; wears no socks and has a wife to support him. Paw hasn't paid hi subscription in five years and he don'i aime to-"

Forty-seven years the old col onel has seen the sun rise and set, and has seen with each change new faces and new enterprises spring up and add to the importance of the territory.
 Col. Poston came to the territory in 1854, and from that time was instru- mental in bringing in over million in money to develop the mines. Thus, from condition of absolute wealth he has come to a state of poverty, living alone in his little adobe hut on Second street between Adams and Monroe. His change of fortune was due to the inroads of the Indians during the civil war, and later, when they took nearly all he had and destroyed the rest.
 Notwithstanding his increasing years, the old colonel still keeps posted on the events of the day and reads with care the news of the territory and country,

VAUDEVILLE THEATRRS.
stntes Requiring Seven Hun dred Acts.

In the United States there are about 67 theaters devoted to vaudeville. There are two in Canada; and two are in process of being in London With the exception of few parks, where performances are given only in sum- mer, almost all these theaters are open the year round, says Richard Duffy, in Ainslee's.
 Of such theaters, 12 are in Greater New York; seven are in Chicago; in the eastern states there are 34; in the middle west and south, 24, and on the Pacific coast there are two. There is none between Omaha and San Fran cisco.
 In order to keep these. houses sup piled with performers, from e50 to TOO acts are required. An act may be a sweet girl singing fearful ballads of love and parting; it may be pair of knockabout comedians; it may be a well-knpwn legitimate actor and his company of three or four; or it may be man with trained elephants. In answer to this demand there is a sup ply of 1,5o0 acts. Half of this number is made up of people that get along indifferently or not at all. You may be sure that the latter consider the vaudeville business to be in a very bad way.
 As fact, several millions stand in- vested in vaudeville to-day. Of the managers, at least one is million aire, and he has this advantage over many millionaires in that he passes nearly all of his time on his yacht. His wife has spent small fortune in collecting pictures of the Madonna and of the Holy Family by old mas- 1 ters. At least ten others have made enough money to convince them of the utter fallacy of the income tax, I As. cap of cream to this pudding is the security of a fortune made in vaudeville. In the legitimate a man ager has to risk a large slice of his capital frequently twice and some times three times in season of about 30 weeks. Once a vaudeville business has been built the enterprise takes much of the stability of department store.

Not Safe to canaemn a Mine.

It is never safe to condemn minin prospect without fair exploring and e: ploitation, says the Mining and Scie tific Press, and nothing but intelliger development will determine whetl CT or not the prospect can be mad into mine. Thehistory of every mi ing region proves this. Take the Te ritory of Arizona. The great Congre mine, the deepest in Arizona, was counted a "wildcat" at depth of T. feet; at the depth of 800 feet it was bonanza aud held 1t O0,000. IT Fortuna was worth $100,0OO ata depi of 150 feet, and worth $2,000,000 [ 600 feet. At depth of 100 feet { King of Arizona sold for $30 900; whe 300 feet deep it was worth $1 ,000, ,00 The Crowned King mine was not co sidered worth being got out of de when the workings were 165 fes deep; at the depth of 400 feet i value was s1,00O,OOO. The Peare mine was sold for s250, ,000 when dow 109 feet, since then $2,00O,O00 was T fused for it. These but few in Ar ona. Every great producing secti can tell a similar story.

An Expansion from Within.
From Bryan,s commoner.l

The Boston Globe points out tn there are GOO, ,O00, GOO acres of vaca land in this country. Of this 374,00 GOO acres are suitable for grazing farming more than 96,000,0 900 aci are woodland; 76, ,000, 900 acres conta forests of commercial value, and abe an equal area is at present desert lar The Globe estimates that the aral portion alone would furnish homes farms for l0,000,00O people, and tn the timber from woodland and fore would suffice to build comfortal homes, not ouly for our present pop lation, but for many generations come. The Globe therefore pleads "expansion from within" and ve correctly says that improved faciliti for irrigation are essential to bri the now unused land into cultivate Is there not considerable danger u in our craze for expansion toward | Orient we are neglecting our opp tunities at home as we'll as violati national traditions?

NATIVE AFRICAN PRINTERS.
DyveiIers on Lake TsDRanyika Who Have Turned Out Their
 F1rat Book

The Catholic fathers have flourish ing mission station on the west shore of Lake TanganyilSa, at place where the forest comes nearly down to the waters edge. This place has been known for Is years on the maps as Mpala, and much has been written about it as a station where the Cath olic missionaries have been trying to introduce civilization in most prac- tical manner.
 Here in the depths of Central Africa they have been teaching the natives how to make brick and lumber, how to improve the quality of the iron they dig from their hills, how to make better inn plements from this useful metal and the best methods of tilling their crops. A great many natives have come from far around to enter the schools at Mpala.
 4 year ago the natives who had been taught to set type in the printing of flee made their first book. A few copies of it have reached Europe and attracted considerable attention. The little book is geography. It tells, in the native language, and in the simplest man ner, something about the world. Il gives the most interesting facts abou the geography and peoples of some O the great nations. There are only 5l pages in it. but they contain grea | deal of information without being crowded with so much detail as to mak, the story hard to read.
 Father G. Van Acker wrote the lit tie volume, superintended the typeset ting and printing, and made the mal which aderns the work. The native under his tuition attended to every me chanical detail, from typesetting t binding. The book is an excellent spec linen of typography, considering tha it is the first effort of the black print CTS who made it, and it furnishes con elusive evidence that progress is mal ing in the heart of Central Africa.

 Of the eight prisoners who made this desperate break for liberty, four were killed outright, one died from his wounds the next day, and not a man got away.

From the Phoenix GaZette.l
 Arthur P. Davis, hydrographer of the U. S. geological survey, was in town yesterday and talked about the work that is now being done in this valley. Mr. Davis is one of the leading photographers in the country. He was one of a party sent to make esti- mates on the Nicaragua canal. In re- sponse to request to outline what is being done by his party Tt the present time, Mr. Davis said:

Death of B. F. t4artIee.
lFrom tho Yuma sentinel.l


 5. F. Hartlee died at Nogales on the Sd instant. His death was sudden and entirely unexpected, resulting from heart disease. Frank Hartlee, as he was best known by his old time friends in Arizona, was one of the most noted characters on the Pacific coast. He was resident of Los Angeles in tLe early days, and was one of the leaders Of posse that ran down and cap tured the notorious outlaw and desperado, Chaves, whose deeds of robbery and murder are among the most daring and bloody in the criminals annals of Cali fornia.
 Frank Hartlee was for many years an employe of the prison and resident l of Yuma. He was man of extraordi- nary coolness and wonderful nerve. which he always maintained under the most exciting and trying circumstances. At the time of his death he was peace officer at Nogales.
 i The death of Frank Hartlee recalls the desperate attempt of eight convicts to escape from the territorial prison on October 27, 1887. The story of the af- fair, the most desperate and sanguin- ary in the history of the prison, is re- lated in the Sentinel of October 29- two days later. About o'clock in the morning, as Mir. Gates, the superin- tendent, was leaving the. prison a powerful Mexican convict suddenly leaped at him and pinioned his arms from behind, marching the superin- teadent through the gate, and using his body as shield from the bullets of the guards seven other convicts quick. | ly followed their desperate leader, and one of them rushed into the office i'm mediately opposite and secured revol- yer from Mir. Gates desk. Reappear. ing, he opened fire on Hartlee, whe was on the tank station, but failed to hit him. The guards had not beer idle in the meantime, and several of the convicts who attempted to reacl the prison armory had been shot down. Hartlee called to the superintendent and asked if he should fire at the Mexi- can, who still held Mfr. Gates as in 6 wise. The superintendent nodded hi. head in the affirmative. It was a mos exciting and critical moment. Tn, desperate Mexican seeing there was n chunce to escape was trying to kill ths superintendent with a butcher knife he had secured in some manner. Hart lee was impltiently but coolly waiting for chance to shoot; the men strug gled and shifted about until the Mex ican's body presented fair target As Hartlee with the greatest delibera tion took careful aim and fired, the convict had the butcher knife raise Land when the bullet from Hartleel gun pierced his side, the Mexican plunged the blade into the superinter dents neck, and the blood spurted i

Forest Reserves.

The Secretary of the Interior has announced his intention of turning over the administration of the nation al forest reserves to the Forester of the Department of Agriculture. This great body of land embraces some 4S,000,000 acres, and it's scientific and practical administration is a matter of national importance, since the area includes the sources of rivers and streams. The action of Secretary Hitchcock in placing the control of these reserves in its logi- cal place is a wise one.
