MIR. Editor, Pve noticed in your
columns many letters from Gullck's
Corner signed "Who Am II" Well,
whoever he or she may be, "Who Am
II" can furnish plenty good news and
always closes by asking what has
become of the honey-bee, or by pass
ing some pleasantly. Perhaps you
know more about the honey-bee
than / do, but as the honey-bee
can't answer for itself 1 feel
it my duty to reply. The frost
has driven in the honey-bee,
but the young swarms are await
ing the spring, when possibly
more. will be stung than are ex-
pected. You see the bee is one of
the most industrious insects we have.
They are noted for their most beauti-
full work, which cannot be equalled
by man. This bee of which you are
interested is somewhat like the real
bee, you know. One can watch a
hive of bees and not meddle, and
will not be harmed by the beautiful
busy bee. Perhaps "Who Am ?''
has been meddling with these insects
and perhaps has been stung. /
don't know what has become of the
loud tooter; perhaps he is resting.
No, he hasn't lost his voice, neither
has bee gotten in his horn, and he
is not waiting for any one to
toot for him. Bees don't have to
toot their own horns for they have
plenty friends to toot for them.

HEATHSvILLE.

For many long years Mrs. Felicia
Rice, known perhaps better than
any other woman of this county. has
with efficiency, acted as proprietor
of the large hotel situated here. Mrs.
Rice is the most remarkable of
women, and though past her three
score years and ten, has been un-
commonly active and INCREASINGLY
employed in some work. All over
our county, and throughout the
Neck, the news of her paralysis will
be received with real sorrow and
honest prayers for her speedy recov-
cry. Mrs. Rice was paralyzed in her
right side while attending to her
duties at the hotel on Friday. She
recognizes every one, and, though she
very readily takes in what others
say, she's unable to make her own
words understood. 1t is hoped many
years of happy life will be spared
this faithful and notable lady.

RACE PROBLEM SOLUTION

"There was no living man." said
the Major, in the course of his re-
marks, ION whom j could better rely
for care and kindness for my family,
and l could point to no one whose
daily life and character afforded q
better and more commendable ex-
ample for all men to emulate than
his. He was, indeed a model husband
and father, good citizen, a loyal
and devoted friend, aud a Christian
gentleman"
Of whom do you suppose these
words were spoken? None other than
a colored man, who recently died in
Atlanta, Georgia, and by whom a
leading white citizen who had known
him well and intimately for 80 years.

reached her fiftieth year. She had
been extremely i'll for many weeks
and on Thursday an operation was
performed, all in vain, to save her

gun to shoot the stree marker" When

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

STOCK EXCHANGE
A GOOD MOVE
Prescott Will Probably Have a Mining Stock
Exchange - Fred B. Noxon Agtating the
Movement.

The movement started by Fred
b. Noxon, representative of the
Daily Mining Record of Colorado
Springs, and taken up by the bus
lness and mining men of Paescott
and Gavapai County, looking to-
wards the establishment at Prescott
Of II Mining Stock Exchange, is one
which meets the approval and as
slstance OF every progressive man
in central Arizona. The meeting
held ut Prescott Monday night was
we'll attended and a number of COM
mittees were appointed to look fur
ther into the matter. Another
meeting will be held Monday even
ing at Prescott and those in this
section who are interested in the le-
gitimate development of our min
ing interests should make it point
to attend and lend encouragement
to the movement by their presence
at least.
The prime object of the Exchange
is to provide means Of investment
and speculation in mining stocks
and properties which are known to
be worthy and where the buyer has
a reasonable certainty of receiving
good returns from his investment.
A number OF fake promoters and
dealers in shady properties have
already started with their work of
knocking the move, knowing full
we'll that their metods will not be
countenanced by an organization OF
reliable business and mining men.

The new road from the Copper
Bar mine at the head of Buckhorn
gulch in Castle Greek mining dis.
trict is progressing finely. This is
another road that Yavapai county
has not helped to build, but Mari
copa county has donated literally.
If We had to depend upon the Yav-
apai county commissioners to assist
us in Blue Tank, Black Rock and
Castle Greek districts in building
roads to open up the best and rich
est part of Iavapai county, they
would never get opened up.
1t is time we should make some
move to have 2Omile strip cut off
from Yavapai county and annexed
to Maricopa county from which we
receive our help.
