The Mystery of It.

AS the years roll around, childhood, youth, young manhood are passed. And still we grow older. In the confu- sion of life's happenings, how seldom do we think of ourselves. But, now and then, the veil of the present is torn aside and we stand as on pinnacle and look back over the long road which we have travelled, picking out here and there in the may distance mile post of pleasure or of pain.
 And then we turn our gaze to the flu ture and view with pang of fear the rough heights of the path and the long leap into the darkness of uncertainty at the end. One half of the allotted three score and ten-and the years are growing shorter. What sorrows and joys are along the last part of the way? And will we meet the great avenger with fortitude? How uncertain IS life and, if we stop to think, how the doubts and the fears will gain the mastery, and we shrink back as cravens in our mantle of dread.
 The apple of life has been tasted. Can this be all of the sweet and the sour? Is life but a repetition of the scenes of today? And at the end what then? Will there be rewards for the days and years of toll? Will we enter into a state of happiness, where doubt and gloom are dispelled; or, will another epoch of fruitless endeavor meet our gaze, and demand our atten- tion; or, will all be darkness and for getfulness as is our memory of former years, before we appeared on the pres ent scene of action? Who can tell?
 The preacher saith, thus and so: come do as tell you, and share in the de- lights of a heaven of bliss. And he holds his authority in his hand-an open book; story only of worldly men the same old story of life and it's vii cissitudes.
 The great God of nature-the great power--the great force-sets his seal up on all nature, and man may only learn from it, what will the lesson be? Each soul must decide this vital question. Each must at times be appalled, by doubts and fears.

Found Suckers.

Rev. w. H. Selleck, who has had charge of the NJ. E. mission work in S. E. Alaska, attended the annual session of the Puget Sound Conference at Sc, attle, and gave to the divines there as. sembled an account of his work in say, ing souls and catching fish in Alaska
 Of Douglas, he said: "A man must work and work on the Sabbath as on any other day, or leave town" The Rev. w. H. spent very little time in this city.
 Outside of the above, the only other thing in the District that he considered worthy of particular mention, he ex- pressed in the statement: "There are I25,OOO square miles of water in Alaska where you cannot throw in fly with out hooking trout"
 MT. Selleck evidently considered Alaska good field for his line of bus mess and we may expect the next gen. eral conference of the NJ. E. church to be held in these waters.

The Council Meets.

The city council of Douglas held its regular meeting last Monday night The matter of the planking of D street between Second and Fourth streets, and also North Second street, was talk en up. No one appeared to protest against the proposed improvement to either street, and the council, after considering the matter, decided that it was necessary that both be planked in accordance with the request of the pc titioners. The matter was referred to the committee on streets and street inn provements, who were authorized to advertise for bids.
 The city clerk, having completed the Tax Roll, turned it over to the city treasurer and took his receipt there for.
 The city clerk also read his first semi-annual report of the financial condition of the city, which contained the following items of interest:
 In the Douglas City School Fund the total receipts amount to s10,446.40. Expenditures, s5,9S006. Leaving a balance on hand of S4,46634.
 The Dog Tax account shows receipts of S156.OO; expenditures, S56,OO; balance on hand, S1OO.
 In the Poll Tax account, S2OO.0O has been received, and nothing paid out.
 The General Fund of the city has no funds to it's credit, but city warrants have been drawn to the amount of S26S.46.
 A recapitulation shows that the city treasurer has received a total of S10,, SO2.4O; paid out, s6.3O4,52; leaving a balance of S4.497,08.
 A resolution was passed by the coun- cil, setting aside 20 feet of E street on the water front, for wharf purposes.
 The School Board appeared before the council with statement of the finances of the school, showing that the funds on hand would not be suf- ficient to complete the school house under the proposed plans. After a general discussion of ways and means, the council postponed action for one week, and adjourned.

The Taxes.

As stated elsewhere in this issue, at the last meeting of the city council Mir. Henson, the city clerk, turned over to Treasurer Fox the Tax Roll of the city. This roll shows an assessed val uation for all property within the city limits, amounting to little more than a quarter of million.
 The levy for the year 1902 is 5 mills, and the total tax will amount to S1256.- 20.
 It is hoped that with this amount of money the council will be able to pay up the expense of incorporation, and also do many other things, such as keeping up the fire department, light ing the streets, etc.

The Wharf.

A number of local business men in this city have formed an organization for the purpose of securing wharf for the city; to be operated at all times for the benefit and in the interest of Doug las. The only wharf on the water front that reaches deep water is owned by the Juneau Ferry and Navigation com pany. This wharf, while it answers the purpose, in a manner, is deficient in many respects.
 Thenew company has gone about the matter in a business way, and they un- doubtedly mean business. They have offered to buy the old wharf, and have also secured, from the city council, an option on wharf site, one block far ther north.
 We understand that it is the purpose of the company, if the Juneau F. & N. Go. are willing to sell, to put on S40OO or s5OOO worth of improvements on the old wharf, making it strong and per fectly safe for the largest vessels to dock. In the event that this company will not sell, new wharf will be built.
 The gentlemen who are taking these steps believe that Douglas should own her own wharf, and that it should be a city wharf in every sense that the term implies.
 The company is composed of the principal business men of the city and they have the trust and confidence, as they will have the hearty support of the entire community.

The Ketchikan Journal man, with a significant Sex" attached to his name, shows the venom in his soul by the fol- lowing:
 aA paper up the line says Gov. Brady 'holds his position because of his ac- knowledged good judgment and abili- ty.' In the words of the immortal Toodles, we exclaim, How we'll he knows himP The man who can find a modicum of ability in that direction will not be generally credited by Alas kans, with having much of his own"
 How strange it is that old, honest John Brady can fool so many people; and his honor, the "ex," so very few.

The Theatre.

Monahan and Moore secured yester- day by telegraph one nights engage. ment of Richard Golden of "Old Jed Prouty" fame for Feb. 5th. This is a remarkable catch for Bisbee, for in this we will hear one of the greatest actors of today. He is after Denman Thompson's heart and compares we'll with the "Old Homestead" No one ever beard Richard Golden without shedding tear or enjoying Q laugh.
 Read what the Los Angeles Times says:
 "'Old Jed Prouty', as played by Rich- ard Golden at the Burbank Theatre this week, is character that everyone loves. He has kindly humor and rug. ged honesty. and an appreciation of his own mirth which puts his audience in tune with him immediately; a dis cord in that harmonious feeling does not occur throughout the entire piece. There are times whom you realize that the old man with the feelingless bands probably much better understand what's what than you do, and there
Bisbee daily review., 1902-01-31

are other times when you feel that he's an uncommonly capable sketch ar- tist amusing you with a few antics, but you leave with the impression that you have had delightful evening.
 "Mr. Golden's acting in places is as fire as is ever seen on the stage. The suggestion of shrewd, honest suspicion, as he first regards the villain, is deli cately subtle, and his potent facility in creating and maintaining tense situation, in which the force of charac- ter alone counts, is expert His turn from honest sentiment to unctuous playfulness is comparable to that of Joseph Jefferson in Rip Van Win kle.'

DISTINGUISHED GUESTS Railroad and Mining Men
 Arrive.
Murphy, tmmert, Staunton Now Here - Many Others
 Arrive Today.

Distinguished visitors are within our city. Today many more will come. Many of them are national characters and are felt in the financial world. Some of them build railroads, some are presidents of banks. others have supe r intended the public works of New York, but all are identified more or less with gigantic mining industries.
 ''Our visit here, said Mir. J. H. Em. inert, assistant of President Murphy of the Prescott 6 Phoenix railroad, Sis to snow the stockholders of the Develop ment Company of America this section of the world. They have never been in this section of the country and Mir. Murphy is anxious that they should get at least a passing idea of its gigan' tic proportions.
 ''The destination of the party is Tombstone, where we will get a glimpse of the future mining camp oi the southwest. The Development Com pany of America, of which Frank Mur. phy is president, is the owner of the Tombstone mine, and in DO distant fu' ture expect to see it approach its palmy days. Already there are many car loads of machinery on the way which will be installed as speedily as possible and extensive operations will begin. Superintendent F. Staunton ot the Congress gold mine is with the party, who will also have management of the Tombstone property"
 In speaking of the railroad coming into Bisbee Mr. Emmert stated that the surveyors and advance men were at present about fifteen miles east o Florence and would push along with nc unnecessary delay.
 Among those who have already ar rived are President Frank NJ. Murphy Vice President Hooker of New York Mir. H. Nj. Murphy of Wisconsin, T. NJ Washburn of Nashville, Tenn: Q. M Ferris, Jr., J. H. Emmert, W. T. Staun ton and others.

Miners Interested in
 Drilling Contest

A visiting miner was asking today about the proposed drilling contest in Juarez. .'I am very anxious to know about it,".he said, because the con- test here excited SO much interest that we who could not get away want to see another, and have some friends now up in the northwest-Burns and Nc Nichols, and Frathey and Talton, who have von everything in sight up there and who would come here were the in- ducement sufficient. Each of these teams thinks it is the champion.
 "A purse of something like thou sand dollars at least would be necessa- ". but that would be bagatelle. be- ssuse every miner within two hundred miles who could get away would come. Where was, up beyond Cruces, every body pulled oat for Fl Paso, and these of us left behind were working twenty four hour shifts. A little admission fee would pay all the expense. "-El Paso Herald.
