An Arab Marriage Procession.

A marriage procession among the Arabs is very elaborate affair. The camel which bears the bride is dec orated with bright henna dye on his neck and shoulders, while there are verses from the Koran inscribed on the hangings. His uncouth legs are often swathed in bright cloths, his head bedecked with plumes and small mirrors, while his back is resplendent with bright colored bits of tinsel, which glisten against a patchwork of many-hued cloths. A hood or cage conceals the bride, and no doubt adds to the discomfort of the cramped ride on the beast. There are attendants, and last of all the musicians, chiefly drummers, who attract the crowds by their incessant pounding on small but high-keyed instruments.
 If the journey to the groom's home is a short one it is heightened by stops at frequent intervals, and all the while the lover must not show any eagerness to welcome her, no matter what his feelings may be. The Arab may be affectionate, but he can not with dignity betray emotion. Among the lower classes buffoons ac- company the procession with per forming bears or other wild animals, and when the bride is wealthy largess is distributed along the route in the form of clothes and coin. When the groom's tent or fixed home has been reached the bride is expected to show great reluctance about entering it. and in some cases she has to be lifted by the husband over the blood of a sheep he has just slain.-February Woman's Home Companion.

Profits in Mining.

The Journal for Investors has the
 following in reference to the chances
 for profit in investments in mining
 property: There have been a great
 many fortunes made in the west out
 of small investments in mines; as
 matter of fact, nearly all the large consultations are opened up by small investors. The stock is put upon the
 market and scattered among several
 hundred stockholders, each of whom contributes his proportion. some S100, some Sl, 1000 and some S10,000, and each one makes his proportion out of the profits. There are people who occupied clerical positions at salary of S75 to Sl00 per month, who today are millionaires from small invest ments in mining stocks. They do not all make money who invest; there are more or less risks in mining; there is no business which pays so well when intelligently carried on, where the management is in the hands of men of capital who under stand the business and who invest their own money in the company along with the other people, and who are men of business integrity. There are very few losseI while there are some immense gains and We cannot of any business where the for people of limited means are sure of good returns as in mining when followed in a business like way. Whether the amount in- vested be great or small does not make much difference so long as the sum total received is sufficient to carry the project through a success ful conclusion.
 Mining promotion of today in the west, is as rule, carried along busi- ness lines by business people who are successful; there are exceptional cases where the stocks are fraudu- lent or worthless, where the manage ment is not practical or where it is but in the majority of in stances, mining promotion today is on high plane, handled by practi- gal, shrewd business men who are making a grand success in the field. |

Pair of Handsome Brides.

John Lawler yesterday received a couple of handsome hair bridles to be rallied of, one of them was the hand somest piece of workmanship ever seen here, there being nothing about it except the bit and little strap on top which is not made of hair. The sender said that he was acquainted with MT. Lawler and wanted the lat ter to raffle them of for S100. He did not give his correct name, but gave the name of Louis Luter, saying that he was an inmate of the Montana penitentiary and wanted the money obtained from them to hire an attor- ney to secure his release. If he sue ceeds in getting out he says he will come to Prescott and reveal his identity by personally thanking MT. Lawler for his trouble.
 The bridles represent three months labor on the part of two men, and the labor on one of them alone is well worth the amount he asks for both.

A Pastors s Roast.

w. c. Evans, pastor of the largest and among the most influential con- gregations of Stockton, announced to his people the other day that he had walked the streets in want, while members of his flock were enjoying all of the luxuries of life. Dr. Evans devoted his hour to financial talk, pre- facing his remarks by reading a re- port on church finances. Then he went after his flock.
 "I'H get to heaven all right" said the pastor. "I'll go there. But some of you people who are walking around Stockton with my money in your pocket won't get in. Only 30 per cent of the members are paying up. Seventy per cent of you people be- fore me walk around town every day with my money in your pockets while I have been obliged to go around some times without five cent piece. But there'll be a reckoning day. It will come sooner or later"
 One paper says the pastor declared that in addition to having walked the streets penniIess he had also been hungry. The church's condition is probably due to the fact that an in fuential portion of the church mem bership opposed his return there and the withdrawal of their support is probably in the nature of a boycott. Dr. Evans is a particular friend of Bishop Hamilton. The pastor lives lives in an elegant home and has a salary of S175 per month and it is said that the church is less than two months in arrears.

WHAT WILL THE HARVEST. BE.

A Washington telegram says that the army post board which has been in session in Washington intermit- tingly since Nov. 9 last, has con- cluded its labors and adjourned sine die.
 The board was charged with the preparation of a scheme for the loca- ton and distribution of military posts, including the abandonment of existing posts which are now useless from modern military point of view, and the planting of new posts on strategic points. It was also to locate the four great camps for the training of soldiers of the regular army and their cooperative drill with the mili- tary. These things have been done, and the boards report is now before secretary Root, who will send it to congress. The report has not yet been made public.
 It is understood that there has been a considerable divergence of views among members of the board as to the location of new posts. Lieut. Gen. Miles, the president of the board, has taken a strong position against the location of the new posts in the vicinity of great cities, on the ground that it can only be construed as intended to menace organized labor, and he has gone so far as to enter formal protest with Secretary Root against such locations.

4 Humorous Decision.

Judge Sterling B. Toney, of the
 circuit court of Jackson county, Ken
 lucky, recently rendered an opinion
 in curious case. A man was em-
 ployed last July to sprinkle paris
 green on potato vines to kill ladybugs.
 and on account of the heat he opened
 his shirt with the result that he was
 poisoned by the paris green. He
 sued his employer, who entered de-
 murer to the petition, and the learned
 judge sustained the demurrer for the
 following reasons. The plaintiff had
 no right in foso conscientiae or in foro externo, to make an indecent exposure of his person while killing ladybugs; the plain tiff exceeded the scope of his em- ployment in sprinkling paris green elsewhere than on the potato vines, as his exclusive agency was to kill ladybugs basking in the shade of said potato vines; the plaintiffs act in al- lowing the defendants paris green to come in contact with his flesh instead of with the flesh of the ladybug, was and ultra wires, tie mental and physical suffering of which the plaintiff complains was the result of his own wrong in misapply- ing the defendants paris green to purposes other than those for which he was employed to apply it; and, besides, in damnum absque injuria; the plaintiff in opening his clothes and exposing himself to the ladybugs and the paris green, was guilty of | contributOry negligence; the plaintiff | knew as well as the defendant that | paris green was poisonous, and if he did not know that paris green was a poison, then his suit should not have been brought in his name, but by appointed to represent lim,--New York Tribune.

Skull Valley and Kirkland.

Times were very lively here before the cold weather and snow, but are now duller.
 c. W. Platt has leased his black smith shop and is mining. He is also contemplating a new concentrat- ing plant and stamp mill on Kirkland creek.
 The Big } Placer Mining company have been sinking for water They are on their fourth well, which is l16 feet deep and are at last in living water. They expect to drift and de- velop still greater supply. This company, under the local manage ment of Messrs. Gooch and Emery, has built very substantial camp of neat painted bunk houses, dwellings and offices. They also found some good gravel in one of their wells, the extent of which they will determine later.
 A great many thefts by tramps have been committed here this winter. John Morris house was broken into and some watches and other articles taken. Mir. Collins had his house broken into and robbed of all the bed ing, clothes and provisions worth talk ing. He subsequently, visited rela- tives at Phenix and accidentally found a man that had them. The other party, a Mexican, is now in GUS tody. Lily Dale.

Nv Lord Faruuhar.

The Abbey Press of New York an- nounces the issue in a few days of Thomas Emmett MooIe's new novel, My Lord Farquhar." MT. Moore is one of the writers who has sprung into national prominence in recent years by his literary work. He was for several years the editor and pub fisher of a weekly newspaper in a small town in Ohio and in addition to politics and news he was a regular contributor to its columns of short stories and poems and in this way he became such a favorite to Ohio peo- pie as to be affectionItely termed Our Tom" About two years ago he gave up newspaper work and has since devoted himself exclusively to his literary pursuits, having al ready published one or two volumes of poems and has also published a book of fiction which has had large sale Proof sheets of My Lord Far quhar have been submitted to some of the best literary critics in the United States, who give it very con- plimentary mention. The publish CTS, in their announcement of My Lord Farquhar," say:
 With his us:al forcefulness and power he has created story of re- markable strength and beauty. Choosing the mystic far east for scene and the Armenian prosecutions for a theme he has adorned the tale with the rich imagery of his imagina- tion, giving it a coloring essentially Oriental and weaving into the warp and wool of the tale those elements of love, intrigue and war which are so necessary to the popular novel. It is a powerful arraigDment of the arch crime of the east, but withal sweet, clean, wholesome story, suitable for the library in every home"

New Concentrating Plant.

Captain l.. D. Phillips, manager oi of the Arizona business of Douglas Lacey & O., took Major Horace N Russell, manager of the California business of the same firm, out to Val Verde yesterday to take a look at the new concentrating plant recently erected by the Standard Smelling and Refining company, under the control of Douglas, Lacey & Co. The plant has just been completed and 8 test run has been made for the pur. pose of trying the machinery and testing it's ability to perform the work expected of it. These experimental runs have proven very satisfactory and the plant will be started up foI regular business within a few days It has a capacity of fifty tons per day. The ore is crushed by the roller process. Captain Phillips says that the Silver Belt, Rebel and other mines controlled by Douglas, Lacey & Go. will be able to furnish the con centrator with ore in sufficient quan- titles to keep it in operation for sev- eral months to come. Major Russell himself highly pleased with the new plant.

RATS STEAL sl,o0o IN BILLS.
Use Saloon Keepers Money m Build
 Ing Nests.

There was great mystery for the police. Bills to the value of S1.000 had been stolen gradually from the cash drawer in the saloon of Jacob Reiner, 96 Lincoln avenue, and all efforts to find the culprits proved futile. The theft of the last S100 on New Years day again reused the saloon keeper to an investigation, and the North Halsted street police were called. Several detectives of the Sherlock Holmes type were put on the case. They worked long and hunted far, but all in vain. A bar tender and an errand boy fell under suspicion and were discharged, though the evidence was not sufficient to warrant arrest.
 You know it was $500 last sum- mer and $500 more later, and now another hundred" said Reiner to some friends who were in his saloon yesterday morning.
 "Oh, rats!" said one of the friends who doubted the story.
 This gave the clew to the detec- lives who were standing by. They examined the cash drawer and found that rats had gotten into it. Behind a partition hastily torn away Reiner found SS0 in bills; further search re vealed S4S more. Six carpenters were put to work tearing up the floor ing in the basement and the walls. They picked up hundreds of dollars in bills formed into nests in every nook. By noon Reiner had recovered nearly all the money, except small part which the thieves had torn.- Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Daniels Commission Heid up.

A despatch from Washington dated Feb. ,, says: Ben F. Daniels con- mission as Marshal has been mailed to Arizona, but the president has wired to prevent it's delivery until the alleged Wyoming penitentiary record of Daniels has been investigated. This information was given out in an executive session of the senate today. It was also stated that the president had wired the Wyoming officials to verify the charges. Hence the action of the judiciary committee is delayed.
 Daniels case isexciting widespread interest and is causing President Roosevelt much annoyance. It is al most without precedent for an ap- pointment to be twice confirmed, twice reconsidered and twice sent to the committee for further action. If the Wyoming charges are proved the president will withdraw the nomina- ton immediately.

Groom Greek.

Groom Creek city, six miles south of Prescott, is moving to the front as bullion producer. It is the local supply point for this rich mineral section and has recently been survey ed for a railroad. The Monte Cristo mill, which is a magnificent plant, has just commenced running on rich ore from the Monte Cristo mine, and now the Home Run property has also mill ordered, while on the Midnight Test extension another mill is being erected. One of the most perfect plants is the Empire mill, which has been running steadily day and night on Empire ore since July, 1900. The ore values are wholly in gold, with the mill crushing forty tons of ore a day. The main shaft is down 400 feet and is still in ore, and at the bot tom of the shaft it is seventeen feet between the walls, with an output of S1 900 per day. Fifty men are en- ployed at the mill and mine. The ar engagement of machinery of the mine and mill is a model. Electricity is used for pumping and crude oil for fuel. This mine belonged originally to the Chicago group, which lies just between the Monte Cristo and Em- pire.
 Edward NJ. Clark of New Haven, Conn.,, sold his interest to Dr. Hen dryx. The two Chicago claims were discovered by Robert Groom, who de- clared the Chicago the mother lode of the district, and in the early days much wealth was taken out of the property.
 MT. Clark had the first stamp mill, rock crusher aud fine concentrator on the creek. The mill was erected right over the mine, from which a never failing supply of water was se- cured. The concentrates were hauled to Ash Fork by wagon and thence freighted to Pueblo. Notwithstand- ing these disadvantages and crude treatment of the orc the Chicago was good producer, but with modern machinery and the new cyanide pro cess, if reopened, it is believed by old miners that Bob Groom's faith would be justified, and the Chicago would become the Banner mine of this con- ing Cripple Creek of Arizona.-Phe- nix Republican.
