n HOSE Christmas bells so sweetly chime,
As on the day when first they rung
- So merrly in the olden time,
And far and wide their music flung,
Shaking the tall gray ivied tower,
With all their deep meIodious power,
They still proclaim to every ear,
Old Christmas comes but once a year.
O lovely voices of the sky,
That hymned the Savour's birth
Are ye not singing still on high,
Ye that sang, "peace on earth|
To us yet speak the strains,
Wherewith, in days gone by,
Ye blessed Syrian swains,
o voices of the sky.

UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
Jack O'Brien Meets a Terrible Death
 by a Blast.

The Prospector says: The coroners who with Coroner c. s. Clark left last evening for Middle Pass in the Dra- goons to hold an inquest on the body of Jack O'Brien who was killed by a blast, returned this morning about 1 a m. The jury found the mangled re- mains of the unfortunate miner in the shaft, the right leg being blown from the body and flesh frightfully torn from arms and body, presenting a terrible sight. The remains were gathered in canvass and brought to town for bur- ial. Claud Newall the other miner in the shaft escaped death miraculously. It appears the two men presuming that all the blasts they had previously set were fired off proceeded to drill more holes. Both men were working close together drilling single handed. While working, O'Brien said to his compan- ion, "I've struck something soft" The words had hardly been spoken when the blast occurred, the unfortunate man had evidently run his drill upon an unexploded piece of giant powder. Newall was knocked unconscious and how long he remained so, does not know. Upon recovering he groped his way through the powder smoke to the ladder and with great difficulty reach ed the top.
 Newell, though a few feet from his partner fortunately escaped without any dangerous injury, Most of his clothes was blown from his back and innumerable particles of dirt and grav- el was embodied in the flesh on his back. His indeed, was narrow es- cape from like terrible fate of his partner, and although his injuries, while painful are not serious. Dr.. Walter who accompanied the jury dressed the wounds of Mir. Newall af- fording him much relief.
 The deceased is we'll known miner having worked in the various camps of the county, was strong and robust built and about 50 years of age. The funer- al of the unfortunate man was held this afternoon and well attended by friends and acquaintance.

LOST HIS LITE.
Willie Nolan Falls Beneath a Freight Car.
Both Legs Severed Just Below the Thiqh. .--Ie Lived Only a Few Hours and Died at the
 Hospital.

Tuesday afternoon one of the saddest accidents that has been chronicled in Bisbee for long time, occurred at the switch below town known as South Bisbee. Willie Nolan, eight year old son of Martin Nolan, an employee ot the Copper Queen company, fell be- meath the cars and was dragged short distance, lost his hold on the car and fell beneath the wheels, which passed over his body just below the thighs al most cutting him in twain.
 It hasDbeen the dangerous custom of crowd of small boys to play on the freight cars which are left on the sid ing at South Bisbee. Tuesday after noon the switch engine was picking up cars and setting out others in this To- cality and warned the boys to leave. The crowd dispersed with the excep- tion of the little Nolan boy and com : panion. Unobserved they climbed back on flat car loaded with pipisg which left vacant space at the end of the car about two feet wide. In mak- ing coupling the engine struck this car and was pushing it ahead when young Nolan lost his balance and fell between the cars. As he fell he caught on the adjoining car and was dragged some distance before he lost his hold and fell beneath the wheels As soon as the accident was discovered by the trainmen the mangled body was pick ed up, the switch engine cut lose and a run made to town with the suffering boy. The body was taken at once to Dr. Sweets office where the three com . pany physicians devoted their energies to stop the hemorage. From there he was driven rapidly to to the Queen hospital and the physicians were still with him when he passed away about eight o'clock the same evening.
 The accident was unavoidable and the trainmen entirely blameless. It was one of those said affairs which is regretted by the entire community and the sympathy of everyone is extended to the parents in their sudden bereav e. ment.

ment.

Mr. Stewart submitted the following ,resolution in the United States Sena te which was considered by unanimous consent, and agreed to:
 Whereas it is alleged that mining locations are made in great numbers under so-called powers of attorney, in violation of the principles of the min ing laws of the United States, and also that large tracts of land where no min eral discoveries have been made are located as placer claims, and thereby monopolizing without right the public domain: Therefore, be it
 RESOLVED, That the Committee on Mines and Mining be, and it is hereby, directed to investigate these matters and report by bill or otherwise.

The Greene Consolidated Copper Co.,, claiming to own copper mines in Sono- "a, are advertising to sell 10000 shares of stock at $10 per share. Their capi- tai stock is $5, 5,000,0 900. They claim to have Ian inexhaustable supply of self fuxing copper ores of high grade from which copper can be produced at a low CT cost than anywhere else in the world. The concern bears number of the ear marks of the old Spenazuma company of Graham county.-Graham County Guardian.
 THE above editorial in the Guardian last week goes to show how ignorant some people are. If the editor of the Guardian had taken time to inquire about the Greene Consolidated Mining Co.,, any mining man in Arizona would have told him that iG was one of the biggest mining propositions in the great southwest. That hundreds of men are employed at their works at Cananea, Sonora; that before the close of the present year a railroad will be built connecting the miEes with Naco, and the Green Con Co will take its place among the big copper producers of the southwest. ..

PUBLIC OPINION

The meeting of the Arizona Press Association at Phoenix on the 22nd will be of vital importance to the press of the territory. Every legitimate news paper published in Arizona should be represented at the meeting. The adop- tion of a comparatively new code of laws for the territory makes it neces- sary that the press appoint 8 commit tee who will scan with care it's provis- ions, especially that part of the code which in any manner affects the press or its interests. It has been repeat edly asserted that. there is disposition among some of those who devote much of their time to politics to discriminate against the press. This spirit they carry into the legislature and through the law attempt to cripple the press. This must be checked by the press meeting, and it can be.-Star.
 The division of opinion among the people of Yuma county as to the best course to be pursued to secure the opening of the Algodones land grar t to settlers threatens to retard its &C., complishment. Delegate Wilson in troduced in congress bill providir g for the opening of the grant, which has been favorably reported from the com mittee, and was in a fair way to become law until Governor Murphy put in his oar, and acting upon his suggestion some of the farmers on the grant are circulating a petition asking that the bill introduced oy Delegate Wilson te withdrawn and the lands opened under the general land laws. The Sentinel says: After a careful reading of the Wilson bill we cannot understand why any settler on these lands should want it withdrawn. The bill protects the bonafide settler, and does not interfere with the newcomer. It would be rank foolishness to try to prevent it's pas sage.

Among few things which the en- suing legislature should do, in our opinion, is to limit the powers of the board of control abolish the board of equalization: repeal the registration law; make the office of assessor elective in each county; separate the office of county school superintendent from the probate judge's office; amend the elec- tion law so as to do away with the blanket ticket; reduce the punishment for train robbery to confinement in the penttentiary, and make new revenue law.-Flagstaff Gem.

MRS JENNETTE HUDSON SHERMAN.
 On Friday, March 15, Mrs Jennet te (JudsOn) Sherman entered into rest in the 87th year of her age. She had been in failing health for many years but passed quietly away at the last, after an illness of week. Since MT Sherman's death, she has made her home at Judge Warmers. Mrs Sher- mans maiden name was Judson and she was lineal descendent of Lieut. Joseph Judson of colonial fame, to whom Gov John Winthrop granted the privilege of founding the Planta- tion of Pomperoage, otherwise known as ye ancient town of Woodbury. When Lieut. Judson and his sturdy little party of adventurers came in sight of the fertile valley of the Pom- peraug, it is said they fell upon their knees and prayed that their posterity might be an upright and God-fearing people. This prayer has certainly been granted even unto the latest generations for there have been nine ministers of the gospel in the Judson family. Lieut. Judson represented WOOdbury for the first time in the General Court of 1884 and held this honor for four successive sessions. The Court decided on 50 shillings salary for Woodbury's first representative and also made a regulation by which each town was to furnish a suitable nag upon which its representative might ride in proper state to the place of legislation. Capt James Judson, who helped make Woodbury proudly historic in Revolutionary days, was Mrs Sherman's great-grandfather and she was one of Woodbury's eldest daughters after the Revolu tion. Mrs Sherman was the last of five sisters and had outlived all but three of her sisters children. She leaves one daughter, the wife of Judge Warner, and an only grandson to mourn her loss besides two nieces, Mrs Oliver COwles and Mrs Daniel Knowles of Washington, formerly of this place. The entire community extend their sympathy to the daughter, who has cared for her invalid mother 50 tender ly so many years. Such rare devotion and self sacrifice are not often seen. Mrs Sherman has passed away after a well spent life of more than three quarters of century in the smile of her Father and her God. "GOd giveth his beloved sleep." Her funeral took place at Judge Warmers residence. The interment was in Bethlehem cemetery.I"A Great Niece.''
