Mapmaker of South Africa, Diamond King, Popular Hero, Sails From the Dark Continent Wednes-
 day Next.

A Capetown cablegram to the New York Journal says:
 It is the passing of Cecil Rhodes!
 The mapmaker of South Africa, the diamond king, the thorn in the side of England and eke the hero of the Eng fish people is threatened with paraly- sis.
 Rhodes will sail from this port for England on July 8. The erect, heroic figure that dominated wilderness and cut paths through it for the march or civilization is bent and decrepit. The once firm lips are agape. The one time far-seeing and fearless eyes are dull and haggard. The wrecker of many an Afrikander hope is himself wreck.
 A Woman Hater.
 He lives at Groat Schur, beautiful country seat near here. It was here that his sister, Alice, acquired the title of 'the most remarkable woman in Africa"
 Cecil is a woman hater. His sister is A man hater. She is very wealthy, of course, and has received many of fers of marriage. But she has always pooh-poohed the idea.
 Miss Rhodes is decidedly masculine in appearance. Her face is as typi- cally fiorid as that of an English squire. She has voice to match her face and figure She dislikes the Boers and hates native Africans. In politics and statecraft SC is almost the equal of her brother. Rhodes has another sister, Edith.
 Going Home to Die.
 Now that he IS going home to Eng land to die, it is rebound of fate that, when an Oxford undergraduate, Rhodes went to South Africa to prolong his life a few years. Africa agreed with him in more ways than physically. He became it's master. In that vast ex- panse of possibility ambition made of the weak school boy a man of iron.
 When the British South African Chartered Company came into being no one guessed why. Rhodes wanted to open up the wealth of South Africa to his government-or to himself. None but that remarkable man really knows which.

SINGULAR TRAIN ROBBERY.
"A Santa Fe Train Held Up and Robbed of Two Hundred Harvest
 Hands.

A telegram from Burlington, Kan sas, dated July II, says:
 Driven to desperation by the sight of their rich fields being ruined for want of harvesters, a party of twenty Osage county farmers held up a west bound Santa Fe train last night to obtain the help necessary for reaping their grain. No. D was pulling out of here when four husky, heavily arm ed farmers entered the engine cab and ordered the engineer to stop at a certain crossing a mile south of that place. At the same time others point ed revolvers at the conductor and brakeman and when the train stopped compelled them to cut loose from the two emigrant cars containing harvest hands bound for the western fields.
 The engineer was compelled to move the fore part of the train on down the track where it was held Meantime there was a fierce conflict going on between the harvesters, who resented the vigorous measures taker by the would-be employers.
 Clubs, ballast, shotguns and re volvers were brought into play anc half an hour the battle ragged fiercely Finally. however, after several of eacf party had been severely injured, { compromise was effected by severa persons not engaged in the conflict and the 200 harvesters agreed to worl in Osage county for S3.5O day.
 The two cars were sooL emptied

EXPLOSION AND FIRE.
The Fl Paso Shelter Destroyed by Flames and Thirteen Men Seri- ousIy, Three Men Fatally h.
 jured.

An Fl Paso telegram of July F says: "The most disastrous fire ever known in Fl Paso occurred at the big smelter.
 The engine and boiler rooms, the buildings about all the furnaces, a large quantity of coke, coal and tim Der were totally burned, destroying the machinery and badly injuring the furnaces.
 Thirteen men were badly injured by the explosion three of whom are expected to die. The others are un- der the care of the physicians and may recover.
 The fire originated by terrific ex- plosion in the engine rooms. The ex- plosion was the result of a simple cause but the effect was terrible. The big belt that runs the hot blast broke in the engine room and immediately the hot blast was cut off. The blast is used to force the gases out of the furnaces and when the blast was cut of the gas from the furnaces rushed back into the large pipes, exploding the largest one and setting fire to everything in forty feet of it.
 Simultaneously furnace number eight exploded from the force of the gas and set fire to all the long build ings at once. Within five minutes the building, about two hundred feet long, was burning all over and the employees were powerless to check the flames.
 When the explosion occurred the furnace rooms were full of men, and several were in the engineroom where the first explosion took place. As if struck by lightning every man was knocked to the ground but all recov- cred sufficiently well to crawl out of the building except three, who were taken out by the others. The heat from the hot blast was so severe as to set fire to every piece of timber in the building, and no one could get in to shut down the machinery.

The Phoenix Republican says that a number of the small boys of Iron Syrimgs have organized a secret so- ciety; known as the '1ron Springs Outlaws" They hold their meetings in the caves of Boulder hill, have watchwords and countersigns and are all pledged to protect with their lives the secrets of the organization. The board of directors very unkindly deprived them of one of their chief sources of inspiration by destroying all Nick Carter, Old Sleuth and other sensational novels in the library. Al though this was a great blow the out laws still hold nightly meetings and plan all sorts of dark and mysterious deeds.
 J. D. Walter and Mrs. Pearl Thompson were married this morning by Probate Judge Layton. Both contracting parties are comparative strangers here. Mir. Walter is law yer and located here in the early part of the year and the bride is recent arrival. They ought to escape the mistakes giddy young people are sub ject to. The groom is so years old and the bride has passed 47 summers. They will spend their honeymoon in the Skylight City.-Coconino Sun.

Mining Intelligence

A smelter of 100 tons capacity has been ordered for the Grand Prize mine in Tonto Basin and it will be but short time until it is erected and in operation.
 Captain L. D. Philips. who visited the Big Bug mining region, where he is engaged in experimenting the operation of number of mines, says the activity in that section is remark able. Hundreds of men are at work and there is not an idle man in that whole section of country who wants to work. Mir. Philips wanted to em- ploy some miners but they were not to be found there, and he had consid- erable trouble finding any unemploy- ed in Prescott but succeeded in secur ing them today. He says that new properties are being opened up in ad- dition to the old ones being orked
 The Phenix Gazette has the follow ing to say about Con OKeefe's new property in Mexico: The mines A the Sonora Milling and Mining Com pany, a company which is entirely controlled and principally owned by E. B. Gage, R. Allyn Lewis, Cor O'Keefe, John Dessart and $. O. Sax hang are fast developing into a grea- property. The mines are as yet bu little developed, but there is already more than S500,000 worth of ore il sight over and above the cost of con verting and marketing. There art two important factors connected witt this property. One is that the name. of the principal stock holders an( managers, the gentleman above men toned, are not only a guarantee O good management and the other i that the ore is there in large and al most inexhaustible quantities.

What WearieS England.

We have got to this: The average man rises in the morning from hi New England folding bed, shave' with Connecticut soap and a Yankee razor, pulls on his Boston boots ovel his socks from North Carolina, fasten: his Hartford braces, slips his Wal tham or Waterbury watch in hi: pocket and sits down to breakfast There he congratulates his wife or the way her Illinois straight front corset sets off her Massachusetts blouse, and he tackles his breakfast where he eats breadmade from prairie flour (possibly doctored at the special establishments on the lakes) timed oysters from the Pacific coast, and a slice of Kansas City bacon, while his wife plays with a slice of Chicago OK tongue. The children are given Puri- tan oats. At the same time he reads his morning paper, printed by Ameri- can machines and possibly on Ameri- can paper.
 He rushes out, catches the electric tram (New York to Shepherds Bush, where he gets in a Yankee elevator to take him to the American fitted cleo tric railway to the city. In this office everything, of course, is American. At lunch time he hastily swallows some cold roast beef that comes from COW in Iowa, and Aavors it with the latest New England pickles, follows with a few Florida timed peaches, dan then soothes his mind with a couple of Virginia cigarettes.
 To follow his course all day would be wearisome. But when evening comes he seeks relaxation at the lat est American musical comedy, and finishes up with couple of little liver pills made in America. - London Mail.

Harping on a Dead Issue.

The Phenix Gazette has the follow ing very sensible article on the con- tinued senseless agitation of the silver question in this territory. The agl- tators are well aware that nothing can come of this agitation, but it is done for the purpose of deceiving the people. Here are the views express ed by the Gazette:
 The silver question is for all prac- tical purposes dead and ought to be buried. In almost all of the states east of the Mississippi river it has been substantially abandoned. But in Nevada, Idaho, Arizona and per haps New Mexico it is still kept to the front, more for the purpose of aid ing few men to obtain office than with the hope of realization of their wishes. Bryan has seen the folly of such an issue and has substantially abandoned it. The Ohio democrats which met in state convention yester- day did not endorse, reaffirm or point with pride to the record of the demo- cratic party for the last five yours upon the silver coinage question. The democratic party up to twenty-five years ago had always prided itself upon being hard money party, but in 1876 and later in its desperation to obtain office it has always been ready to embrace the doctrine of fiat money, free silver, or any other dogma that gave promise of success at the polls. The free coinage issue is eliminated from the issue in all the states, but it will be heard in Arizona and men will attempt to push it to the front in the hopes of keeping themselves in office or of enabling them to get office.
 The Gazette believes it Is the duty of the sound money newspapers in Arizona to keep pounding this free silver craze upon all occasions. Not that it can make any difference in the national contest, but that the people of Arizona may be made to know that there is no hope of realizing their wishes in this direction, but that they may know that they are being made cats paws of to pull somebody's chest nuts out of the fire. Free coinage of silver in this country will never be realized until all civilized nations agree to it, and that time will never come. The people might as well un- derstand first as last and the sooner the better it will be for the country. Let us cut silver out and devote our energies to accomplishing something that will help us all-say irrigation and mining.

Barlton Meyers, a West Liberty, Iowa boy, was caught by rope of a balloon during a 4th of July celebra- ton at that place and was carried five miles and dropped unhurt in the next county. The aeronaut yelled to the boy to hold on. He did so and it not only saved his life but prompted admirers of his bravery to make up a Sl00 purse for him.
