MAcKAY'S PROPOSED CABLE

A Washington correspondent writ ing of Mackay's proposition to lay a Pacific cable says: "The offer of a private corporation to construct a Pacific cable connecting the United States with Hawaii, the Philippines and China, the only condition being that free landing privileges shall be granted the country, has excited the opponents of republicanism until they are in state of almost hysterical glee. Because two rival concerns fought to finish before the fifty sixth congress for the privilege of lay ing cable, stipulating that the gov ernment shall grant them large sub sidy for their enterprise, the opposi- ton press seems to now take it for granted that the proposal of John w Mackay and his associates is un- welcome to the administration, which, the inference is, would prefer to re- ward a corporation at the expense of the people. The fact of the matter is that the new proposition simplifies the situation and is agreeable to the Washington authorities. The offer to give the government enormously re- duced rates for its cable business to the far east and absolute control oi trans-Pacific telegraph facilities in the event of war, without the neces- sary subsidies, is regarded by the ad- ministration as a splendid oppor- tunity. Cablegrams to the Philip pines are now costing the nation from S3OO.OOO to S4OO,OO0 a year, and the new line would reduce that expense If the state department finds that it has the right to award landing privi- lege without waiting for congress, it is probable that the Pacific cable will be in process of construction in the very near future.

Hunting Wild Horses.

Sport rivaling in excitement that of buffalo hunt was scheduled to take place in Washington and Iron coun- ties, Utah, and across into northern Arizona Thursday, Oct. To, when the people of the Canaan district expect to set forth and exterminate as many desert horses as can be rounded up The hunt is booked to start at Pipe Springs. Where it will end no one pretends to know.
 The mustang, or desert horses, are so thick in the district lying between Hurricane ridge and Kanab wash and over the old Canaan range tc Mount Turnbill that ranchers arc complaining. The range is being eaten up, gentle horses are being run of and many valuable animals are being shot by mistake by careless sportsmen firing at supposed desert horses.
 Two years ago a similar decision was reached. During the progress oi the hunt three hundred were shot and left on the plains and fifteen hundred were run down and dispatched with the exception of three hundred con sidered worth keeping. Prediction: are freely made that this record will be broken Thursday.
 Prominent cattle and horse mer have the proposed drive in hand anc are marshaling their forces for al epoch-breaking roundup.

Want to Be Kidnapped.

The kidnapping of Miss Helen NJ. Stone, missionary of the American board, with headquarters at Salonica, by Turkish brigands in Bulgaria has had a curious consequence. Two Am erican women living in Paris are said to have set off for the nelghborhood where she fell into the hands of des- peradoes in the hope, they declared, that they, too, will be captured. &
 One of the women called herself Mrs. Delaney and said she was a widow, 2S years old. The other is known as Miss Stetson. She is 24 Their excuse for making the hazard ous experiment is that they intend tC write their experiences. They said they had put in bank enough money to pay their ransom when they send an order for it.
 Mrs. Delaney told acquaintances that she was from Poughkeepsie, N T., and once went to Madagascar following the French army and living under a tent until the commander ob- jected because of the danger to her self. Mrs. Delaney also asserts that she was the protege of the daughter of wealthy lawyer of Georgia.
 Miss Stetson has been in the Amer ican colony at Paris only a few months.

The Latest "HouSe of Hits" Publica-
 tions.

The greatest hit ever made with a ballad by the Primrose and Dock stdder Minstrels was made this sea son by them with "While the Con- vent Bells Were Ringing" This is a new and beautiful song by Max $ Witt and Robert $. Roden.
 "No Use in Asking Cause You Know the Reason Why" is an odd coon song featured by Lew Dock stader himself. He sings it inimita- bly, and the song which is by Bob Cole, J. W. and Rosamond Johnson, is a great success.
 "A Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" is the title of Petrie's latest and greatest bass song. Our readers of course know his Davy Jones' Locker but this is the finest song he has written.
 ''When the Irish are on Parade" is character song introducing all the old favorite airs. It is by Heelan and Helf, writers of Every Race has a Flag but the COOn."
 "Ma Hearts Desiah is Miss Mariah" is the greatest hit in coon song ever featured by Lew Dokstader the famous minstrel. He says him selfthat the melody of the song fascin- ates.
 "East Lynne!" Just think of the beautiful but sad incidents embodied in both the story and the play we all like so well. This song is one ol Heelan & Helf's greatest efforts.
 These songs are issued this month by "The House of Hits," Jos. w Stern & Co.,, who will be pleased tC send any one wishing then their vocal and instrumental orchestra and band, Hawkes.

A BIG CORPORATION.

According to one of the PheniX papers the steel trust has been thrown in the shade with its big capitaliza- ton by a company which has just filed articles of incorporation with the secretary, the capitalization of which is S1O,OOO,OOO,OO0. The name of the company is the International Con struction and Development company, and the incorporators are Richard D. Coulter, George L. Heron and John c. Wolfram, all of Pittsburg, Pa. The stock is divided into 100000 900 shares of s1.00 each.
 The filing of these articles has caused the mathematical editor of the Republican to get out his lightning calculator and the following are some of the deductions and comparisons he makes of it;
 Ten billion dollars is a sum be  yond human conception. It is more than all the railroads that have ever been built, all the canals that have ever been dug, all the telegraph wires that have ever been strung and all the cables that have been laid have cost. If the stock had been fully paid up at the time of the filing oi the papers, the internal revenue stamps that would have had to be at tached to the document would bt worth S5,0OO,O00, sum sufficient fol the capital stock of most corporations If the shares of the company were di vided up among the human race each man, woman and child of every race and color would have six, anC there would still be enough left fo treasury stock. It would take mor' than twice all the money in thu wo i'd to pay up the capital stock When the International Construction and Development company gets tC working at its full limit, the United States Steel corporation, with its littl' old measley capital of only a billion dollars, will be a mere peanut stand in comparison.

ALMOST PERSUADED.

The accession of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency, together with the faithlessness of democratic officials, has about landed J. L. B. Alexander, a heretofore prominent and influential democratic politician of Phenix into the republican party. In an interview, by the Phenix Enterprise, Mir. Alexander is quoted as saying:
 ''There has never been atime in my life that I would not vote for Theo- dore Roosevelt or for Theodore Roosevelt's principles. He is my friend and comrade. We served in the same regiment during the late war with Spain, the Rough Riders. I shall support his administration and should he stand for reelection will lend bim every assistance possible. Personal friendship with me in this case is above all politics.
 'I am also at variance with local democrats in office, and at the next election will oppose them with all my might because I do not believe they stand for the principles they were elected to carry out. In both city and county I see men who, like sev- eral members of the state legislature, are actuated solely by selfish motives not by democratic principles"
 While MT. Alexander has always taken an active interest, as well as a winning one, in democratic politics of Maricopa county he has never been a candidate for any office and says that he seeks none now. He is comforta- fixed financially, and "plays" politics just for the enjoyment he can get out of it as well as for the good of tn territory.

PROSPEROUS ARIZONA.
4 World of Wealth in Her Mines, Her
 Fertile Soil and Matchless Climate.

There is evidence of greater activity
 in mining circles throughout the ter ritorv than ever before, since the early days when placer gold was first dis covered on the Colorado river and old La Paz. now deserted and fast becom- ing obliterated was thriving city of 5000 people.
 The new mining era for Arizona has come. The great mines now working, others being exploited, and the sturdy prospector out for more, all tend to the ultimate end of mak- ing Arizona the leading producer of precious metals of any section on earth. Climatic advan- tages are with the sun-kissed land, where health and wealth abound.
 Yavapai county can now count her paying mines by the score, while within her bounds is nearing com pletjon, and it is stated will be ready for operation in few days, a great custom smelting plant, namely, the Val Verde shelter, giving the pro- ducer of low grade ores a living chance to work and develop claims that can not now be operated.
 The great Vulture is forging ahead with development work, and soon the pounding of stamps will again echo on the lower Hassayampa.
 The Gro Grande people near Wick cnburg are blocking out ore in great chunks 40xl00 feet and the Middle Hassayampa will also have a bowling set of bumpers, and ingots galore, and the little historical hamlet of Wickenburg redestined to make a great camp. Down in old Yuma there are two great gold properties, steadily working, and while there is little said about them, the stockhold- CTS are all fast becoming millionaires. These mines are the Fortuna and the Arizona King.
 The day of the knocker and loft grubber is past. Arizona has as many deep mines as any country. Tn howl about Arizona lodges not going down is all bosh. Pockets there ar in all mineral countries. and becaus some have been dug out, it is no cri terion that all are on top. The writer knows of one big mine on the Cobra | do river, that the discoverers took S30,0O0 out of from four ten-foot holes, and then gauged the surface and sold | for S2O,OOO. The party who pur- chased is an expert miner and geolo- gist. He went down 900 feet, all in all and the mine has been keeping forty stamps going for six years. How is this.
 There is a great future in the min ing field of this territory, and the wise investor sees 1t.

The man who can hardly crawl, and has just strength to get through days work, has no strength left for family life. He wants to be quiet; to be alone, out of sight and sound of everybody.
