Visit to the Angel.

G. H. Akers came up from Phoe-
nix Thursday morning, accompan-
led by J. G. Diffenderfer of Harris
burg, Pa; J. A. Clark of Reming-
ton, Indiana, and w. HI. Osborne
of New York, and were taken out to
the Angel mine by George E. San
ders to examine the property and
note the work being done on this
promising property. Mr.. Akers
informs us that a 12-horse power
gasoline hoist, similar to the one
on the Orc Grande mine, will soon
be installed and development work
proceeded with as rapidly as posi-
BILE. Hathaway & Co. were indeed
fortunate in securing this valuable
property and the News-Herald pre-
diets it will become one of the
largest producing mines in the
Vulture district. While here Mr..
Akers and party will visit several
other properties with view OF
securing control, having decided to
confine all their operations in Ari-
IONA to the districts around Wick
enburg.

not only go there with pleasure
and safety but will be glad to re-
turn again. To maintain this
reading or club room and keep it
well supplied with magazines,
periodicals and stationery, will cost
us about $500 year, as much as
we ask all the people of this section
to contribute, and we will not be
benefited any more than any, and
not as much as many of the mer-
chants and residents, but we know
that we will be benefited twice
that amount inside of the next
eighteen months by the increased
business which will come here if
the mining men and investors are
made comfortable while in Wick
enburg. By having letterheads
with attractive advertisements
printed on them, every letter sent
out would advertise this section
more than can be estimated and
would aid materially in getting
mining men to come here and ex-
anime prospects and partially de-
veloped mines in this vicinity, and
once here the mineral showings
speak for themselves.
Now, this offer is entirely volun-
tary and any contributions to-
wards carrying out the idea must
be the same. 1t is for your bene-
fit, and we do not intend to spend
one minute in soliciting aid to ma
ture the project. After consider
ing the matter carefully, and if
you think you will be benefited,
we will be pleased to have you
come in or send in statement of
what you will contribute, and start
ing in with our next issue (if the
people here are alive and wish to
see Wickenburg advance as it
should) we will print list of those
offering encouragement and the
amount offered. If the sufficient
amount is pledged, we will 60
ahead and put up the building,
asking no money in advance until
the building is completed. We
make no restrictions as to the resi-
dence of those contributing, and
persons living elsewhere who are
interested in seeing this district ad-
vance are invited to get into the
harness and help. Persons wish
ing to pay in advance are welcome
to do so and will be given a a pro-
per receipt, the money to be re-
turned if the object is not carried
out. Think about it, but don't
think aboutsit too long. The ques-
ton is up to you.

PREDICTED AN EARTHQUAKE,

There Is a curious story In 81. Louis
dispatch TO the Chicago Record Herald
to the effect that the earthquake which
shook 81. Louis on Friday last. was
predicted by mysterious man, who
claimed to have obtained knowledge
of the occurrence through supernatural
means.
About a week previous, the man.
who gave his name as Dryer, walked
into the Associated Press office and
told his story There win be an
earthquake he said, next Friday and
the Friday following, In which millions
OF lives VIII be lost, and you and |
may be numbered among the dead"
He claimed to have been forewarned Of
the event. ''rhe United States he
continued, may be swallowed up In
this terrible oataclysm" He could not
say for certain whether the main shock
would come on Friday the 2ith Of this
month, or the Friday following, He
also inserted an advertisement In the
papers, stating that there would be
an earthquake on one OF the Fridays
indicated,
The story goes on TO say that two
distinct shocks were felt in ST. Louis
a few minutes before 5 o'clock in the
morning on last Friday Persons woke
up and left their beds. The buildings
rocked, and a rumblng sound was
heard
The disturbances were observed as
far north as quincy and west 90 Kan.
sas City. In several other places
shocks were observed, and now people
are wondering whether the man really
had had a revelation, or whether the
fulnlment OF the representation was
merely q coincidence, They are, per-
haps wondering, too. whether the
coming Friday win be the day OF great
er judgment since the mysterious prog
nostlcator intmated that he ala not
know whether the main shock would
come last Friday or a week later.
The prophecy has certainly not been
fulfilled In all rs details so far The
man said the disturbances would be
felt an over the world aud that many
lives would be lost This did not hap

OF the states OF Illinois and Missouri

why rnE QUESTION WAS ASKED

In commenting upon the remarkable
bit Of testimony elected by the attor-
ntys for the defence IN the Mortonaen
case, the Deseret News has endeavorod
TO make It clear that no blame could
be fairly attached to the witness TO
the prosecution or to the court This
may have created the impression that
by Inference the attorneys for the de-
fence were censured II so we desire
to remove that impression.
II the report Of the cross.examlna-
ton IS read carefully It win be seen
that the questions which led up to the
statement. came along In natural Sc
quenoc ana were on legal lines Here
Is the report OF that part OF the pro-
cecdmgs, When Attorney y, stewart
Intercepted Hon. James Sharp as to
his conversation with Peter Mortenscn,

of james r, Hay, Mr. sharp stated;

The statement Of Mr. Sharp was not
anticipated by Mr., Stewart There was
no understanding by anyone present
that such an experience would be re-
lated, Mr., sharp felt he could not reply
to the question, How ala you know
it?' except by telling the truth as he
understood II, The question was very
natural and was strictly legal. After
the witness had stated his conclusion
that Hay was killed by Mortensen,
"How did you know lt2" was proper

There having been some mlsunder-
standing OF part Of his speech and a
consequent assumption that he Is now
in full accord with the extreme anti
imperlalists, President Schurman next
day sent out a signed statement In
which he said that when President Nc
Kinley invited him TO accept the pres
idency Of the first commission 10 the
Philippines the President assured him
that 1.-THE sole object of taking the Phil
ipplnes was the humanitarian one Of
carrying to them the blessings Of lib
erty." The commission reported that
the intelligent Flllpinos, though rec
ogniglng the need OF temporary Amer-
can Intervention and tutelage. all de-
sired and hoped for ultimate independ-
ence" President schurman condensed
the substance OF his remarks at the
Boston Reform club into the statement
that, 1.-THE Filipinos want ultimate in
dependence, and our progressive grants
OF liberty and home rule must eyentu-
ate In independence, and II is American
sentiment and Philippine sentiment
that must finally settle the question"

his declaration IN favor Of the ultimate
independence Of the Filiplnos, made
before the reform club In Boston Mon
day evening was his first pronounce
ment IN that line Not long after his
return from thePhllppines he delivered
a speech IN which he said that the Ill
Innate independence OF the Islands
should be the objective Of American ef-
forts, But that was over two years
ago and, since then, Mr. Schurman has
done considerable running with those
who view the Philippines as a first
class asset Of empire. The surprise
with which the radical and uncom-
promising anti-lmperialists OF Boston
heard his remarks the other evening,
therefore, is easily understood. They
had long ago come to regard him as
one whose influence was always used
TO help along the imperlalistic scheme
