A piece of work. of which little is heard lately, is now nearing comrl1- ton in the biz United Verde. and t will probably be only a m1tter cf weeks when considerable change viii be made in. the operation O. the mine. says the Jerome News.
 The work in question is the new shaft situated between 30D and t5) feet north of the present working shaft. II was started about two yecrs ago and would probably have been finished long be- fore now had not certain Instructions been met with which the shaft was designed to evaGe. These obstructiocs Were large bodies of ore. encountered where least eXpeCtd. and ncessitcted a change being made which naturally caused considerable de;ey in the work Persistent efforts, however. have brought il almost tn coIppieticli and it will not be long before all Of the ore l.oisted from the mine will be brought out through this shalt.

CASTLE CR EEK
 HOT SPRINGS

Castle Creek Hot Springs. Ariz.. Feb
 22.-Activity at ;he Springs increases constantly, new guests coming in and the former guests becoming more familiar V-ith the pleasures of the place. Each succeeding season sur passes the others and the present one is no exception. March is usually the month when the most people are at the Springs, but this year the height Of the season comes earlier. The guests are gathered from all corners of the country-from Vermont to Seattle while Arizona itself is well represented. All find this a delightful place to spend the winter. and once here become per manent guests. Transient trade is 2 thing unknown-a fact which assists in making a stay here more pleasant, fer the guests become better acquaint- ed with one another. and the homelik ? way of entertaining the guests. which is the plan of the management is greatly enhanced. Another feature which adds to the attractiveness is the entire absence of tuberculosis patients. The curative properties of the springs are more favorable for rheumatism and nervous troubles, but the majority or the guests are seeking rest and change in surroundings and relief from the stormy eastern winters. The weather here has been mild and pleasant and picnics and riding parties have been numerous. The grounds are provided with croquet and tennis courts, and the hills that look down upon this pocket in the mountains are traversed by trails which ascend in easy flights. The

Cannon That Was Found Embedded
in the Great Wall of China.


The collection Of Curios at Memorial
hall has recently been increased by the
addition Of a cannon, which illustrates
that WI Ting Fang is not altogether
wrong when he says that the civilized
nations of today have adopted the
mode of warfare which China discard
ed 1000 years ago.
The cannon. which is a bronze piece,
is said to be over 1000 years old, and
was taken from the great Chinese wall.
where it was found imbedded in the
masonry, with only its muzzle and
breech protruding. 1t was presented TO
the museum by r. L. DiffendeTfer, who
brought it from the Celestial empire
some years ago 1t is in a remarkable
state Of preservation, and doubtless,
if charged with powder and shell,
would still be capable Of dealing death
and injury to any one within close
range.
There is also in the collection one Of
the rarest pieces of AnSlo-American
potter. known. 1t is a large dark blue
tureen. and bears on its side printed
picture Of the old state capitol at Har-
risburg. which was built in 1920 II IS
said 10 be- the only piece Of pottery in
existence bearing this picture. II was
made I'm Staffordshire, England, in
1920. almost Immediately after the cap
itOl was built.
The cannon is said to be made Of
steel. Its close resemblance to mod
ern gun is remarkable. It is about
three feet seven inches long, measures
six inches across the bTeech. and its
bore is three and five-eighths inches
diameter

NOVELS AND LIBRARIES.

7 LIBRARIANS IN THE EAST and
l. elsewhere a.e agitatiug themselves
over the popular novel question. Her
bert Putnam, librarian Of congress, has
said that no so-called popular novel
should be placed on the shelf of any
public library until at least a year has
elapsed atter its publication. Andrew
Carnegie would go even further than
NIr- Putnam, for he would require a
life Of at least three years for all pop
Mar novels before their purchase by a
library board.
These gentlemen take the ground
that the province of a public libr2 Y
is to instruct those who patonize It,
and that the people who want merely
to be amused should be compelled TO
look elsewhere. The a-cument that
libraries should be educators. that they
should teach their patrons to read the
right books, that they should instiu a
fondHess for real literature, is sound,
but there Is another side to the ques-
lion. The Old proverb, You can lead a
morse to water, but you can't make
him drink" is applicable in this in
stance.
It is the people who pay for the
maintenance Of the libraries. They
contribute, in taxes, sum sufficient 20
keep the institutions in operation. and
If they want popular novels. popular
novels they should have. It is wei
enough for private libraries OF libraries
endowed and maintained by individuals
for the public good to bar light litera-
ture from their shelves. In doing so
they are strictly within their rights.
but public libraries are just as much
public property as public records.
After all the greatest good TO the
greatest number is tGe real object II
IS true that much money is wasted,
ana worse than wasted, in the purchase
of novels which are read today and for
gotten tomorrow. Within a year or
two after their publication they are
forgotten and the space they occupy
on the shelves is space thrown away.
But is IL not also true that people who
are attracted to the library By {, desire
