A San Francisco man a few days
since celebrated his one hundred and
seventh birthday. His name is Capt.
6. E. Diamond and to all appearances
he is as sound of mind and limb as
the ordinary middle aged man of
forty. Capt. Diamond has been a
resident of San Francisco for the past
Sc years, and during that time has
been engaged in selling books, walk
ing daily from ten to twenty miles.
To the amount of exercise obtained in
this way, the venerable man ascribes
part of the secret of his longevity.
The other part is the use of olive oil,
temperance and optimism. He is still
following his calling, and declares
that he feels no older than he did
thirty years ago.

The editor of the Journal Miner is
panied to learn of the death of his
old friend Gen. W. W. Guthrie, of
Atchison, Kansas. Gen. Guthrie was
one Of the most prominent citizens
of that state, having served in various
official capacities. By profession be
was lawyer, occupying a position at
the very front ranks of the profession.
About year ago he received injuries
from which he never recovered. He
came to Arizona with his wife last
winter, and spent several weeks in
Phenix, where they made many
friends. They spent a day in Prescott
visiting with the writer of this no.
tice, but little did the latter think
then, that the golden cord which link
eo the spirit of this noble man to
earth would so soon be broken. While
in feeble health at that time. he was
always of cheerful disposition and
light spirited, and was a man whose
very presence was an inspiration to
higher and loftier aims in life.

IRON KING MINE
PROGRESSING
Shaft No. Five Eclip-
SeS ALI Others
In Ore From Top to Bottom-New
Buildings Being Added-Pipe
Line Completed.

Things are progressing at rapid
rate at the Iron King near Val Verde,
the property of the American Copper
company. New company buildings
are going up daily and with those of
the employees, makes a decidedly pre-
possessing town.
The pipe line from the Aqua Fria is
completed and the pump will soon be
installed. The large reservoir is
complete and pipes are connected
thereto leading to tanks from which
the mill and all the buildings are sup
piled with water.
The three compartment working
shaft, being constructed by 7. G.
Archer under contract, is nearly COM
pleted. The contract calls for it to be
sunk to depth of 100 feet. No doubt
but what Mr.. Archer will secure a
second contract for its continuation
to the 200 level.
Shaft No. 3, recently sunk to con-
meet with the underground workings
at the south end, is the richest open
ing yet made on the vein. This shaft
is now down over 40 feet and from
top to bottom is all ore. The ore is
oxide of lead, assaying s18 gold and
silver (silver per cent small) and 20
to 80 per cent lead. The width of this
ore body will be determined by
crosscut as soon as the 200 level is
reached.
Some 200 tons of the black sulphide
ore has been treated at the Val Verde
smelter and the results we're such as
to fully verify former assays.
The main development shaft is now
down to the 300 foot level and main
tains the same grade of ore as encoun-
tered on the 200 level. Drifts on the 100
and 200 foot levels extend a distance
of over 1lO0 feet Four shafts are now
being driven to connect with these le-
vels and all will be continued ON to
the 800 level.
The mill is completed and is geared
ready for business, and will start up
as soon as water reaches the camp.

PRESENTED WITH
A GOLD WATCH
Prescott Eagles Honor
President Wilsey
For the Good Work He Has Done
For the Lodge-Mayor Burke
Presents the Gift.

When the local aerie of Eagles was
organized on the oath of last May, W.
j. Wilsey was the unanimous choice
of the aerie for worthy president and
after he had served the lodge for one
term of six months he was again IN
animously chosen for another term as
he had demonstrated his splendid ex-
ecutive ability and unbounded en-
thusiasm for the order, and now after
the aerie has been organized only one
year and has a membership of 300,
with $1,000 and $1,000 in the treasury,
a record never equaled before by any
order in the history of the territory.
The members realizing that this
grand achievement was largely due to
the able leadership of Mr. Wilsey,
they had secured one of the finest
gold watches that was ever brought to
the city, together with beautiful
gold chain and diamond set charm,
which it was their intention to pre-
sent to him at the first anniversary
celebration which will take place on
the oath of this month, but he received
telegram recently from the east
which indicated that he might be
called away any day and fearing it
might happen before the anniversary
celebration, they decided to present
it to him last night at the regular ses-
sion of the lodge.
The meeting of the lodge was one of
the best and most enthusiastic meet
ings the aerie has ever held, over 100
members being present and five new
members were initiated. After the
business of the lodge was finished a
social session was declared and Mayor
Dennis A. Burke, who is one of the
native birds of the Prescott aerie, in
company with several friends who are
visiting in Prescott, Joined the happy
throng.
President Wilsey then vacated the
chair and W. ]. Bond took charge of
the meeting and introduced Mr..
Burke who presented the hand
some token and at the same time
made one of the most charm
ing little speeches that has ever
been listened to by Prescott gather
ing. Mr.. Wilsey accepted the gift
from the lodge with few we'll chosen
words, although his heart was so full
of joy that he could hardly talk, and
assured the members who had so low
ingly shown their appreciation of his
efforts on behalf of the order that he
loved and honored. that his efforts in
the future would be even greater. if
possible, than in the past for the up
building of the order.
The jolly party then assembled in
the banquet hall where the tables
were loaded with good things to eat
and drink, and here happy hour was
spent. A little joke was played on
Hugo tombstone, the millionaire min
ing man of New York, who was one of
the invited guests. He had been
seated in one of the chairs at the
banquet table which had been taught
to do number of tricks, and at the
proper time the unexpected happened
and the laugh was on him. He prop
erly appreciated the joke and with a
number of others made application
for membership into the lodge.

Who Will Explain?
Communicated. }

/
1t would be gratifying to a great
many earnest men and women to heal
lust one good reason for denying tt
women a voice in our government, the
fundamental principle of which i:
consent of the governed" that doe:
not apply with equal force tc the dis
franchisement of men.
1t cannot be her want of physical
power, for it does not require any
great amount of physical power tc
cast ballot or study the questions OF
the day.
1t cannot be her lack of intelli.
gence. for in the United States more
women read and write than men, and
there are three girls to one boy grad
uating from our high schools.
1t cannot be lack of moral force.
as our prison statistics show that 81
per cent of the criminals confined in
iails and penitentiaries are men.
1t cannot be because she cannot
perform military duty for two thirds
of the men who do vote are exempt
from military duty and the only class
of men who are disfranchised, except
foreigners. criminals idiots and in
sane men are the soldiers stationed at
our various garrisons.
1t cannot be that she is too good. for
just government could not compel
its best citizens to be governed by its
worst.
1t cannot be her occupations for
they are as varied as those of men
and would require no more time from
the duties of women than those of
men.
1t cannot be her maternity, for be-
ing the one who must give the soldier
to the state and rear the citizen for
his civic duty it would seem specially
necessary that she should be a living
factor in the government in order to
educate him to the highest ideal of
American citizenship.
1t cannot be because women do not
want to vote for there have been more
petitions sent to our United States
congress and the various state legisla-
lures asking for woman suffrage than
all the other petitions combined, and
furthermore, the women do vote at
every election in the states where they
have full suffrage in as great a pro-
portion as do the men. The fact that
some men do not vote is never made
an argument why all men should be
disfranchised.
1t cannot be because women do not
contribute to the support of the gov
eminent for they are taxed equally
with men for its support.
1t cannot be fear that voice in
the affairs of government would de-
grade women, because that which has
added to the dignity and character of
the men in the United States would
not have an opposite effect upon its
women.
What, then, is the true reason for
this, unjust discrimination against the
women of this nation?
Is it possible, as prominent writer
has said, that it is due to the selfish
ness of man, who having the power in
his own hands, reluctantly yields it
except by brute force?

whereby obedience is secured there is
a wide difference in the practices, at
least, of parents. In paper in the
June Delineator Mrs. Theodore W.
Birney gives some eminently sane ad-
vice on obedience and punishment.
Mrs. Birney is not partial to the rod,
and she holds that incorrigibility in
children is more often due to 'Iack
of self control and knowledge of tenn
permanent and child nature" in the
parent than to any abnormality in the
C hid. There is, doubtless, an ele-
ment of truth in that, though some
may disagree. However, there are
other points in the article that many
parents will do we'll to take to heart.

d. j. Sullivan has some ore at his
Office which was taken from the face
of the drift in the Alaska group of
mines near Congress few days ago.
One piece of the ore weighs son ething
over 200 pounds while he has box of
the same kind of ore which is broken
up in smaller pieces The ore vein in
the drift from which this came is over
two feet in width on an average and
the values run close to 800 per ton.
This drift was begun about March LIST
and has been run a distance of 125
feet, the entire distance being in ore.
The values are free milling gold and
little PARTICLES of the precious metal
can be seen all over the surface of
even the largest piece of this ore.
Over 125 tons of this class Of ore has
been taken from the 125 foot drift,
averaging about a ton of ore to the
foot. If this keeps up, and the indi-
cations are good that it will, the
Alaska will prove to be among the big
