was seen going toward His Holiness
apartments with a large microscope in
one hand and a case containing sew

Pope had suddenly become suddenly
Ill. but soon the truth became known.
Pope Leo has long taken much in
terest in the progress of modern med
icine, and DR.. Lapponi's object was to
show him specimens of the various
microbes which have been discovered
during recent years and to explain to
him the exact manner in which each
OF them affects human beings.
The germs of typhus. tuberculosis,
diphtheria, anthrax and other mala-
dies were carefully examined through
the microscope by the Pope who asked
many questions. especially as to the
manner in which the germs find their
way into human bodies and as to the
methods which have been devised for
destroying them.

CIRCUIT RIDERS woNDRous TALe
Preachers German Accent spoIlt the
Eject of the Hymn.


Eject of the Hymn.
The Rev. DR.. Hardin Of Chicago re-
lates an amusing story of a Circuit
rider" in Indiana in the early days
when musical instruments were un-
known on the circuit and hymn
books were few. II was the custom
for the minister to repeat or Zine"
each stanza of the hymn, after which
the congregation would sing the words
Just repeated by the pastor. On one
occasion a bright little German with
a decided dialect was the preacher.
After an opening prayer the minister
took an old hymn by Watts, one stanza
of which begins:
Soon as the evening shades prevail
Tho moon takes up the wond'rous
tale"
The hymn went very well till the
above mentioned lines were reached
when the minister in an earnest voice
read out in his brogue:
Soon as der evening shades prevail
Der moon sticks up his wond'rous
tale"
Needless to say that stanza was sung
amidst a decided litter from members
of the congregation.

mines we have mentioned and these mines in full operation would add inn measura bly, to the trade of the city. All over the district are groups Of claims and prospects in well defined localities which if operated by syndicates would compensate the discoVerers and own CTS, give a good net profit to the op- orators and also swell the volume of general prosperity, whereas if left as they are now might lay for years or forever unproductive. The cost of making and keeping up roads within the district and cost of maintaining main roads to Phoenix should be as- certained by a special committee. If, during the next two years, the Phoenix board of trade keeps in touch with the mining districts tributary to it, there will be such a general improvement of all con ditions as will insure for all time to come two sound money senators from Arizona, and that of course will insure statehood. Let us once more contem- plate the reinauguration of the times of the eighties. Behold by every spring camps of prosperous freighters; hear the singing of the contented wo- men and girls; the hee-hawing of the mules; the laughter oi the men and boys; the shouts of children; hear blasts from every mine and prospect; see the long roadway between the mines and smelter filled with big freight outfits going in loaded with ore and coming out with mercha ndise. hay and grain and supplies of every kind. We simply know that there is value in our ores to effect this reforma- ton of times and ask the board of trades committee to come up here, in- vestigate and figure it all out to their assurance, if it takes all winter to do 1t thoroughly.

and still very much higher gold grade; | and thus we are again and more strongly impressed with a belief in this great stretch, and north in the vast
 area of Cave Creek there are abso-
 lutely inexhaustible and inestimable
 values in gold and copper.
 | Those of us who have operated here ] from ten to twenty years are now ab- solutely sure of this vast region, and it
 would be miserably poor policy to treat
 us, our region and our representation
 thereof with distrust. Although the
 efforts of certain men and corporations | have been unequal to the task of ex-
 tracing all the values therefrom, we confidently invite investigation of
 the district, which is sold or bonded to syndicates of adequate capital and skill. we are sure would yield all their
 values at a good profit to the operators. l This new gold field is about thirty
 two miles north of Phoenix on the east
 side of Black mountains, in granite for
 nation, while the west side is slate | and taken up by the Mormon Girl
 group of claims and by some owned by W. l.. Mckay and others. The west | side groups yield copper mostly with
 more or less gold in all the copper while those of the east side are of very | high grade gold with some silver, and
 the veins seem to extend down into the adjacent desert among some pictur- esque granite buttes.
 l I interviewed MT. Snyder Reed. the | discoverer of these new fields, and got
 from him the following hastily pre- pared report:
 ''The formation is what prospectors
 would denominate dull granite but a | closer inspection reveals a peculiar sort of granite. Instead of showing ! the usual ccmponents of granite, i. e.. | quartz, mica, feldspar and hOrnblende 1 there is iron in places and some cop- per. The main ledge comes on the granite $50 feet from the shale contact on the west. The quartz has an intru- siVe porphyry for a fcotwall and a
 schist hanging wall. The Value ranges | from $5 to more than $1O0 per ton in | gold, showing which I consider com
 pares very favorably with the best and l largest ore bodies of Arizona The ex- | tension on the north is in possession | of and being worked by W. l.. Mckay
 and John Lewis. Theirs is a vein from four to six feet wide and assays regu- | larly S25 per ton in gold. Still farther I north are other prospects in process ot ! development where assay value is also l high with other very promising indi- cations. The main ledge, firm four tC | twelve feet wide. crops out for 2.SOC 1 feet and can be easily traced for 4O0t 1 feet. If there is not in that field rich and enduring ore bdies then all indica- | tions of such which have guided me | thrugh many years of research and
 through many years of expanse of ex-
 ploration than most treasure hunters
 have opportunities to traverse, go foI nothing.
 The older discoveries Of the Cave Creek region consist of veins of gold
 and copper alternating and in close
 juxtapOsition to each other, with ar
 appreciable high grade gold value in all
 the copper veins. Consider the easy
 accessibility of all this immense region
 to Phoenix over roads which nowhere
 would involve a staggering expense tC

CAVE CREEK MINES
Residents of That District Want a
 a Shelter in Phoenix.

Cave Creek, Ariz., Nov. 20.-(Special correspondence of The Republican.)-- The mills of the gods have been grind ing so slowly and so finely up here that not until quite recently have we ar rived at fairly correct estimate of our mineral resources. Many adverse con- ditions, not least of which has been the rag-chewing of nerveless pessimists, have wrought so dreadfully with us, and conspired to keep us and our treas ure fields hid from sight and due con sideration of capitalists. But recent discoveries in a hitherto neglected To- cality of ore bodies so amazingly rich for their great size give us license for exultation, and warrant our demand that a new policy be put in action and fresh efforts for our own and the gen. eral prosperity be attempted.
 So now we ask the press of Phoenix to put us in connection with a public interest which can influence the Phoe- nix board of trade, to act primarily on that city's behalf, and next in ours, on new lines hereinafter 10 be set forth.
 We propose now to make an exhibit of our old and recent discov- cries and of social and industrial con- ditions radically different from those of the past. We ask a transfer, at an opportune time. of public interest to this field as much in the interests of Phoenix as of this district.
 So soon as thorough prospecting was undertaken here on hitherto neglected areas, by scientists in that line, the result was amazing. "Stringers'' very rich in gold are not uncommon, but III great expense in working them. But when such huge ore bodies as those of the Ben Hur and those recently dis covered here are of much higher gold grade than the richest "stringers" de- velOped so far then the products of the entire district merit more thorough in vestigation than that of the past.
 In the big veins of the lately discov- cred Black Mountain subdivision there are pa+- streaks foot or more in width assaying up to s10O per ton in gold. diminishing in the remaining four to twelve feet of the vein to more than B per ton, so that SO huge vein as says rather more. than less, than S55 DOT ton in gold, while veins in the same ground three to six feet wide assay throughout s25 per ton in gold. Such showing ought to attract lively at tention and expressing interest. I have noticed similarities in formation be- tween this new district and that of the old Winnifred, and a view from the road near the old Union mine in a northeast direction through and beyond the new one arouses in me new refec- tions and suggests promising probabili- ties; for while the small veins of the Winnifred lying in meshes to a mother lode not yet discovered are grade in gold those of the Black Mountains are very largely ones parallel to the mother lode which lies on or near to a contact between granite and slate fOrma tion,
