The house of representatives last Friday
passed the Anti-Conspiracy bill without
debate. 1t provides that all agreements,
contracts, ETC., for the performance Of an
act in disputes between employees and en-
ployers in places where the Federal law
applies, shall not be punishable on the
ground for injunction, unless such an act
would be illegal If performed by an indi-
vidual.

Makes His Mouth Water.
(Helena World.)

More money has passed through the
hands OF Brer Taylor, OF the Paragould
Soliphone, within the past few months
than usually falls to the lot of country
editor In addition to the regular receipts
at the Soliphone office, which are not in
considerable, Brer Taylor has just fin
ished counting the cash in the state treas
ury, amounting to considerably over q
half million dollars. Treasurer Upton no
doubt made ample provision for the proper
disposition of the water that exuded from
Taylor's mouth during the process.

PATRIOTISM.


Patriotism is not buncombism. A man
may howl himself hoarse over the nag of
.his country and be devoid of patriotism.
A citizen who will evade taxation is not
only not patriot, but he is thief. No
matter what position in life the tax
dodger may occupy, and he is generally a
so-called prominent citizen, he is not pa
triot. A patriot is ever true to every
duty of life, He is strong and manly.
He deuounces wrong and error wherever
found He win not truckle to public sen
timent; he will not buy or beg honor or
position; he is courteous, kind and just to
the weak and erriug; he is just to all and
mercy and charity govern his every act
A patriot comedies to others the right OF
free speech and thought. He does not
claim that he possesses a chattel mortgage
upon truth and virtue. : He is ever found
on the side of right and justice. He does
not seek the popular side, but the right.
He recognizes the fact that maiorities are
not always right and that minorities may
err. The PATRIOTS true Christian.
The patriot does not uphold class legis-
lation of any kind or character. He does
not believe in tariff robbery or legalized
rascality of any character. He hates and
is always found combating chicanery and
cunning. He regards vice in high places
as a crime, and the higher position the
greater the crime. He has no sympathy
with crime, but he pites the criminal. He
cannot do wrong with the hope that right
may result from it. He is ever ready to do
his duty in whatever lire it may fall,
The patriot is the friend and patron OF
the public school, the press and the church
/. He recognizes the worth of the minister
the editor and tho teacher. He is public
spirited, broad-minded and liberal in his
support OF every institution that will aid
humanity and cast ray of sunshine upon
the pathway of man.
The mean, minded, close-hsted
individual cannot be patriot. Patriot
ism is beyond his ken. Selhshness hath no
part in patriotism. Patriotism can dwell
only In the heart of true manhood 1t is
the God-part of man. Patriotism owes
no allegiance to tyranny or oppression; it
has no sympathy with the so-called
sdivine right of kings''-a king Tor ruler)
can do no wrong. Patriotism is the enc
my OF wrong, greed and selfshness; it is
the friend Of virtue, character and justice.
Patriotism stands for all that is pure and
good in government, A demagogue is not
a patriot and cannot comprehend the
nobility OF a true man.
Success or failure mean nothing to the
patriot. Defeat adds strength to patriot
ism; disaster means death to demagoguery.
Patriotism is the pearl OF wisdom en-
cased within the heart Of true manhood.
It dwells not in the soul OF the coward,

VENTURE HILL COMPANY.
A Noted Colorado Expert Pronounces Ita Property With Wonderful
 Possibilities.

J. M. Ross of Boulder, Colorado, who has been in Arizona, has just paid visit to Jerome. Mir. Ross is mining expert of many years experi- ence and his opinion of the Jerome district could not be better, says the Republican. He says he has seen some big mining camps in his day, but that of the United Verde at Jerome outclasses them all.
 Speaking of the Venture Hill prop erty, which lies nearest the United Verde, he said the character of the ore is identically the same as the United Verde, only the workings are not so deep and there are less sul- phides. The workings are consider ably higher up on the hill than the United Verde, and he predicts that when the same level is reached the ore will be identical in character. Samples that he brought back with him from both properties bear out his statements.
 The tunnel on the Socrates claim of the Venture Hill goes almost straight into the hill for 400 feet and the last hundred feet is in ore, with ore still in the face of the tunnel. How much further it goes no one knows. At that depth drift was run at right angle from the tunnel for distance of 135 feet and is still in ore. The drift was run in this di rection to get under vertical shaft started on the surface. The company proposes as soon as operations are re- stunned to run a winze straight down on the ore body from the face of the tunnel for probably POO feet, and for the purpose will probably put in an air compressor and horse whim.
 Altogether MT. Ross thinks there is every reason to believe that the Ven ture Hill as we'll as some of the other properties will beas big mines as the United Verde with enough develop ment work, and the United Verde from all that can be learned regard ing it, will be a bigger mine fifty years from now than it is today.

OLD MEXICAN MINES.
Con 0'Keefe Finds Big Deposits of
 Bones and Silver.

The following story sounds some what improbable, but it is vouched for by that reliable paper the Bisbee Review:
 "The discovery is said to have been made by Con O'Keefe, well known throughout Arizona as a finder of rich mines.
 "The entrance to the old mines was found covered up. The hole by which former operators had entered was walled up with large rocks and grown over with vines and brush.
 "O'Keefe and others with him ex- plored the old workings and were amazed to find tons of silver ore in sight. Tunnels lead in every direc- ton and tools lay in them as if hur- riedly thrown aside.
 Tn one tunnel ten skeletons were ! found. They were gathered in a small space and had the appearance of men who had slowly starved tC death. It IS SurmlSeu that the OWneIs of the mines walled these men inside in order to prevent their disclosing | the location of the mine.
 "The mines are supposed to have been owned by ancient Aztecs o Toltecs, and must have been idle fo hundreds of years. It is almost cer tain that different tribes of Indians being at war is responsible for th' mine being abandoned.
 "This find was made in the Alta district, near Tubutama, a countr. rich in silver. Several ancient mine have been found there, and the coun try gives evidence of having bee once the scene of great mining actiV itv by crude methods"

THE POLAND EXTENsIoH.
Plans for Townsite, Water and elec-
 tric Systems.

Mir. Charles J. George returned to Los Angeles last Thursday after an absence of some two weeks in Ari- zona, during which time he visited Jerome to attend the annual stock holders meeting of the Lincoln Gold Mining company. From Jerome he went to Poland on a visit to the pro. perties of the Poland Extension Gold Mining and Milling O., of which he is president.

INTERESTING LITERARY CONTEST.
Public School Exercises Which Re- flected Credit on Teachers and
 Pupils Alike.

The contest between the Clionian and Crescent literary societies of the Prescott public schools last evening was a very interesting affair and the chapel of the high school building was crowded with patrons and friends of the school to hear the exercises.
 The program has previously ap- peared in this paper. It consisted of one essay by a member of each so- ciety, two declamations each, and a debate in which members of the two societies were pitted against each other. Mrs. D. NJ. F. Weeks, Mrs. H. D. Ross and T. c. Job officiated as judges. They awarded the honor of the essay to the representative of the Crescent society. One declama- ton was awarded to the Crescent and one to the Clionian society, and the debate was decided in favor of the Clionians, so that honors were even, as two were in favor of each society.
 The contests were of greater in- terest and importance in other re- spects than the mere exercises in which the pupils participated. They served as a reflex of the excellent work being done in our public schools by Prof. D. B. Billinghurst and his excellent corps of efficient as sistants. Public schools without a competent man at the head of them, no matter how competent the corps of teachers, could not attain the highest grade of efficiency in their work. The reverse also holds true, that the most competent principal or superintendent could not bring them up to the high water mark of eff ciency without competent assistants. Fortunately for Prescott, she has a happy combination in her faculty of an able superintendent aud com petent corps of teachers, all of whom work in harmony for the progress and success of her public schools. The outcropping of interest on the part Of the pupils in these monthly exercises is one of the evidences and manifesta- tions of the interest taken by them in the general school work, hence as stated, the exercises have a much greater significance than the mere performance of task devoid of special interest. The pupils all ac- quilted themselves admirably and showed keen interest in their work, while none the less was the interest and enthusiasm of the pupils in at tendance who were not participants in the exercises.

strikes recorded in the history of the state was made few days ago in the Silver Peak mines, and that it throws Klondike and Cape Nome in the shade. Knapp said that mug gets of pure gold of the size of hens eggs were taken out, and that there were many of these pieces of gold of the size of hens eggs were taken out, and that there were many of these pieces of gold of various sizes. The whole face of the drift apart from the nuggets, the ore itself, was estimated to go S4OO to $500 . ton. It is said that over $1OO, 900 was taken out in few hours the first day of the strike. Some two weeks ago the owners of the mine, the Blairs of New Jersey, put a force of men to work in the tunnel. This tunnel cuts seventy foot ledge of ore. The foreman noticed very rich streak of a few inches in width and decided to follow it. He did SO with such suc- cess that four days ago the rich stun opened up to the full width of the drift. Some seven months ago John Mackay offered to bond these mines after hearing the report of mining engineers that he had sent to Silver Peak, but the Blairs informed him that they would not bond them for . day, but would sell them for S700,O00 cash. The mines have been idle for a number of years, and it is now thought that the Blairs will take i'm mediate steps to work them, as ct first it was considered low grade ore. The silver Peak mine is in Esmeralda county, and is fifty-eight miles from a railroad and forty miles from Tono- pah.
 Wickenburg wants smeltcr and her citizens are making a move to get one. The mining interests around Wickenburg are quite active, and . large amount of work is being done with good results.
 The San Francisco mining district is fast filling up with prospectors, in fact so many are there in that coun- try that water will soon become an important question to them for camp purposes alone. In the country sur rounding Boundary Cone there are nearly five hundred men at work either prospecting or working in the
 mines. Hundreds of veins have been located and in fact tbere is not one available foot of ground for miles around that is not covered by min ing location. There are two saloons in the district and more are going in. At Gold Road camp Lovin & Withers have branch store and another store is projected for the Treadwell camp.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

The Health Department of New York has seized a quantity of so- called cheap baking powder which it found in that city. Attention was at tracted to it by the low price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and ths chemist of the Health Department re- ported the stuff to be "an alum powder" which analysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulver- ized rock.
 The powder was declared to be dangerous to health and several thou sand pounds was carted to the ofsl dock and destroyed.
 It is unsafe to experiment. with these so-called cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In baking powders, the high class, cream of tar brands are the most economical, because they go farther in use and are healthful be- yond question.

Story of an Egg.

A peculiar assault story comes from Seven River, New Mexico. Little Frank Dalton recently found an egg in a nest in Peter Corn's chicken house and took the egg to Mrs. Corn. On the egg the legend Prepare to meet your God" was printed in relief letters. Mrs. Corn believed it was message from God and prepared her self to die after writing to all her relatives. The Sunday following. there being no church, there was a large gathering at the Corn home stead to view the egg. A dispute arising over the supposed message from on high one of the crowd offered SEQ for another egg just like the one in Mrs. Corn's possession. Homer Wilder and Lester Allen bet their horses against the S20 that they could make an egg like that. Their bet was taken up, and they went to the Wilder homestead and there made an egg exactly like that at the Corn homestead. Wilder took it to the homestead of Oscar Sassin who ordered Wilder and Allen from his premises. As they would not %, Sassin threw a rock at Allen and was then arrested for assault. Ht was fined 8 and costs. Wilder after
 ward acknowledged that he haC manufactured the egg which hac given Mrs. Corn such a bad scare
