The funeral of the young man Hany, who was killed by accident in the Blue Bell mine on Sunday, took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Rev. H. B. Long officiated at the funeral.
 Prescott Hotel arrivals Dec 30: C O Gowing, Prescott; F l. Ayres, Kingman; Wm Nichols, Mayer, John Edward Addicks, Mayer; NJ c Sharp neck, Skull Valley; Mrs Thos Thomp- son, Walker; D c Locke. Phenix, Mir and Mrs Joe Archambeau, Ash Fork.
 Mir. and Mrs. H. W. Peck will have their usual Tuesday evening "at home" at the Methodist parsonage tonight from s to II D. m. At the close of the social hour, the last hour of the year will be spent in devotion. Strangers are specially welcomed.
 In the marriage notice, which ap- pears elsewhere, of the marriage of Jos. B. Archambeau. the society re- porter was guilty of an unpardonable neglect of duty of not ascertaining the politics of the couple. Our con temporary, however, comes to the rescue by stating that the groom is democrat. To make marriage an nouncement and omit the politics of all parties interested, shows negli- gence which the public is not likely to overlook. The politics of all the guests should be given too, to make it complete.

Christmas Entertainment.

The teachers of the Episcopal Sun day School provided one of the most interesting and unique Christmas en- tertainments given in Prescott. It was given last evening at Masonic hall.
 The opening number consisted of a piano solo by Mrs. w. A. Cline, fol- lowed by recitation by Miss Mabel Moore.
 One of the most interesting features of the entertainment was a Mother Goose party in which Miss Harriet Oliver read the story of Mother Goose, while others acted the parts in pan tomims. A portion of pantomime was in accompaniment of a song by Mrs. McGinnis, also the entire number be- ing very amusing to all present. The different characters in the pantomime acting were dressed in costumes which added to the amusement.
 At the conclusion of the entertain ment the ripe fruit from the Christ mas tree was plucked and distributed and of course this feature, as is the case with harvesting the fruit of every Christmas tree, was very interesting and specially enjoyed by the younger ones present.
 After the Christmas tree had been dancing was indLlged in to music furnished by Mrs. w. A. Cline.

Seed Time and Harvest.

A good time to think most seriously of the harvest is seed time. The de- cision you make then will determine the value of your crops later. The growing competition in seed selling is an increasing temptation to un- scrupulous dealers to make extrava- gant claims for their seeds. both in price and producing qualities. The wisest farmers are those who are in- tuenced most by what experience has proven to be good and true. Thousands of seed sewers in all sec tons of the country SOW Ferry's fam ous seeds, year after year, and have the satisfaction of good harvests to justify their continued faith in the Ferry firm. They pay a few cents more at seed time, but realize many dollars in better crops at the harvest. The natural consequence of this con dition is an ever increasing business. D. NJ. Ferry X Co. sent out last year more seeds than any other seed house in the world. The 1902 catalogue of this house is now ready and will ba found a useful guide in selecting the choicest seeds for the farmer, the truck gardener and the flower gard ener. It is sent free on request.

MINING SALE COMPLETED.
Payment is Made for the Midnight Test And Title Passed Todayto the New
 Owners.

Geo. Wood today made a cash pay
 ment of S25,000 to A. J. Pickrell on
 the Midnight Test mine, and this
 valuable property IS now owned by the Midnight Test Mining company.
 The history of this transaction reads
 more like fiction than fact, and shows what can be accomplished by active, energetic management of a mining property.
 In February last when the claim was mere prospect, though very promising one, Mr. Wood took bond on it for the above sum. On March IS he commenced work on the prop erty developing it. Today he has shaft down 400 feet with stations cut at each hundred feet. In sinking this shaft he has taken out considera- ply more ore than the development work has cost. Several bodies of fabulously rich ore have been en- countered in sinking and as high as Sl 900 worth of ore per hour has been taken out.
 Now that title to the mine has passed to the new company. the work of equipping it with a mill will be commenced at once, or in fact the excavation for its foundation has al ready commenced. A steam stamp mill of which Mir. Wood is the inven- tor will be placed on the property and drifting and stoping in the mine will bs commenced in addition to sinking deeper.
 In this connection it is interesting to note the fact that during the past year MT. Wood has negotiated the sale of six different properties in this section as follows: Midnight Test. | Victor, and another group of eight | claims, all on Groom creek. the Conner property on Lynx creek. the group in the Hassayampa district and large copper property in the vicinity of Bill Williams Fork. The best of it all is that every last one of them are first class properties too. Mir. Wood is an enterprising and energetic man as will be shown by this record.

Beaver Tail Soup.

Although I am a Marylander, and an Eastern Shore one at that, said Chauncey F. Raynor, and conse- quently know what good things to eat are, want to tell you that I'll have'to take of my hat to the lum- Der camp cook of the upper Michi- gan peninsula as the discoverer, fabricator and dispenser of dish that that knocks the Eastern Shore cuisine silly. And that rare lumber camp dish is beaver tail soup.
 q was with Colonel Park of Col umbus, Ohio, deer hunting in the Rainy Lake region of Michigan, one fall. We lived at lumber boarding shanty.
 "There were signs of beaver at the upper end of the lake, and a trapper succeeded in trapping one of the wiley dam builders.
 "When the beaver was brought into camp the camp cook went nearly wild. And so did the lumbermen when they heard the news. All be- cause they had been trying to trap a beaver for weeks; not for its fur, but for its tail, as they were pin ing, they said, for beaver tail soup.
 1.-The camp cook took that broad appendage of the beaver, mailed like an armadillo, took from it the under lying bone and meat and from it made such soup as never came from any other stock at the beck of the most expert and scientific chef that ever put kettle on.
 "We could do the same thing, and perhaps better, on the Eastern Shore, but we lack one thing. We havn't got the beavers to yield up their tails. New York Sun.

NEWS, NOTES AND COMMENTS

Ex-President Cleveland is seriously ill. He has not been able to leave his room for five weeks.
 While Wm. Little, Birmingham, Alabama, attorney, was trying a case in court he became suddenly insane and fired four shots at his client, one of which took effect, though not fatally.
 Mary Phelan was killed and seven others injured in a Fillmore street electric car line accident at San Fran cisco. South of Union street the grade is so steep the cars have to be pulled up hill by special machinery. As the car containing fifteen people had nearly reached the top of the hill it broke loose in some manner, and rushed down the the grade with frightful speed. At Union street the runaway crashed into an empty car.

 A Rome telegram says: Lieuts. Verone and Scandone had quarrel a few days ago about a dog at Bres- cia. Today they fought duel with swords. The combat went on harm lessly for two hours, when officers and seconds adjourned for luncheon. Sub sequently the duel was resumed, with the result that Lieut.. Scandone's head was split open, and he died from the effects of the wound. Lieut.. Verone was dangerously wounded.
 One of the mostinteresting features of this time of the year is the prepara- tions made by the banks in New York, Boston and Philadelphia for disburs- ing the January interest and divi- dends, which for these three financial centers alone are estimated at over S200 100000. It is roughly estimated that S150,000,000 will be distributed in New York, while some declare that S35, ,000,O00 will be paid out in Boston and S25,000,000 in Philadelphia. These are the largest amounts on record for the purposes mentioned. The government already has antici- pated the payment of some of the in terest due on the bonded debt, but there is a considerable amount yet due remaining to be paid. The pay ment by the government is easily made without inconvenience. Dis bursements by corporations cramp the banks considerably, and in pre- pairing for the event large institutions find it necessary to materially con tract their loans.

George Arthur Aliens Death.

Major George Arthur Allen, so well and favorably known for over twenty years in Prescott, and Arizona gener ally, died thls morning at the Mercy Hospital in this city. He was threat ened with pneumonia last Friday and at once went to the hospital, where he had the best of care together with kindest nursing given him by his many friends in this community. Major Allen took up his residence in Prescott in 1880 and ever since has been a prominent figure in Northern Arizona. He was lawyer by profes sion and held in high esteem by the bench and bar of this district. He was possessed of kindly nature and generous to a fault. His home in old Fort Misery was the refuge almost daily of those whom he met in the streets of our city without a place to sleep.
 For years Major Allen was the or ganist of the Catholic church and was recognized as a musician of rare talent. Death coming so swiftly was a shock to our people. He presided at the organ at the midnight Christ mass mass and was the recipient of many compliments for the excellent music which was given under his di- rection by the choir of that church.
 Major Allen was an Englishman by birth, but during his long residence in Arizona he was known as a firm believer in our American institutions
 His remains will be taken this even ing to the residence of United States Attorney Morrison, where they will rest until Thursday morning, when they will be re- moved to the Catholic church. There at 10 o'clock a. m. requiem high mass will be sung and the burial ceremony of the Catholic church per formed over his body. From that place of worship the funeral will pro ceed to the graveyard of the Knights | of Pythias, and he will be laid to rest 1 beside his old English friends, Hon. J. L. Fisher and T. G. Barlow Mas sicks. His numerous friends and ac- luaintances are invited to view his remains both at the residence of Mir. Morrison and at the Catholic church.
