LOST ON THE DESERT.
Jack Shea Nearly Perishes Near
 White Hills.

Last Friday party of Jerome min ing men left White Hills to examine a mine in the Mount Wilson country near the Colorado river. When out about eight miles on thedesert, on the
 Bonelli Ferry road, they found man suffering from want of food and water.
 He had stripped off all his clothing and dug a hole in the sand in his de- lirium, and was so far gone that he would have probably perished in few more hours under the broiling sun. After administering few drops of water the party loaded him into the wagon and returned to White Hills, where measures were taken to revive him. Today, (Saturdav) his mind is still wandering but he can now partake of refreshment and is in a fair way to recover. He was recog- nized by one of the party as Jack Shea who has a brother who is a saloon keeper in Jerome. He tells an incoherent story about some one talk ing his canteen away from him. He says ne had nothing to eat since Mon day and nc water from Wednesday

English editors are rapidly getting
 around to the idea that it will be good
 policy for Great Britian to do every
 thing in its power to hasten the con struction of the Isthmian canal by
 the United States instead of throw
 ing obstacles in the way, as it has
 heretofore done.
 When anything happens within 1000 miles of this territory, Arizona
 is charged up with being the cause.
 The weather officials of Los Angeles
 tells the people of that city that the
 damp weather there is chargeable to the rain storms of Arizona.
 The Jerome strike is still on and promises to continue indefinitely. It Is commencing to have its effect al ready upon the business of the town of Jerome. The men are reported to
 be firm in their decision not to return
 to work again unless their demands
 for an eight-hour day are acceded to.
 On the other hand Senator Clark gave his ultimatum to the men, that he would not accede to their demand. and after issuing it he immediately left for the east. His superintendent,
 Mir. Giroux, has also gone east. It is stated by parties from Jerome that six months or more could be employ ed to good advantageinthe mine with out working the smelter which may account in part for the decided stand taken by MT. Clark. If there is any mine owner in the country, who could well afford, as a matter of generosity, to say nothing of justice, to grant a demand for an eight hour law to his it is Mr. Clark of the Uni ted Verde mine. The labor of these !. men has for years been putting a i round million dollars per month in the pockets of Mir. Clark. A man with a spark of generosity or grati- tude in his make up it would seem would not wait, under such circum- stances, to show his appreciation of the labor of his employees to grant this without asking, but if through a press of business it was overlooked, he would not hesitate a minute to grant the request when asked. The miners of Jerome cer- iainly have the sympathy of the peo- pie generally in their efforts to secure shorter hours of work.

ings, for the very simple reason that
 the theory is not accepted.
 The great American people are not
 lying awake nights on account of sym
 pathy for Steel Baron Morgan and
 his associates, Morgan thought to
 conquer the world with gold. We
 will see.
 Kitchener has issued a proclama- ton declaring that all the Boer lead CTS in arms after September 17 will be permantly banished from South Africa. It is presumed that he took into consideration the Question as to whether the Boer leaders would
 banish.
 The stock of gold in the United
 States treasury is now the largest in the history of the government, being S5O4, ,354 ,297, an increase since July 1st year ago of SS1,OOO,OOO. This is in strong contrast with the condi- ton of the treasury only about seven years ago, when it was at the vanish ing point. As a matter of fact, at this critical moment number of sub treasuries were hastily called upon to remit by express what gold they had to New York, resulting in Sl2,000,000 being forwarded. If any consldera- ble part of thls amount had miscar- ried or been delayed twenty four hours the government would have been compelled to have defaulted ill its demand gold payments for the time being at least.
 Our contemporary intimates that the insurance agent who, when asked if his company insured against loco motor ataxia, replied that his com pany did not take railroad insurance, was one of its readers and misstook i the question for meaning taxless toots of locomotives taxless. Our seems to be afflicted !. with ''taXless locomotive" mania and it would be little wonder if the con tagion spread to some of its readers. Perhaps after all the mistake was a one.
 It is said that Tucson hotel keepers compel their guests to wear coats at the table during meal hours. This Is probably done to convince their ooarders that Tucson is the coldest place in the United States.
 Germany's proposed new tariff seems to be causing more worry in Europe than in this country. It hits ndiscriminately at nearly all the Eu- -opean countries, as well as at Us, and threats of tariff war is heard on all sides. A tariff war between European would bring more profits to his country than losses.
