WASP-LIKE WAISTS.

Are we woman kind growing wiser, or is it merely the inevitable turning of the wheel of fashion that has brought in the modest corset. Certain it is that fashion has decreed that we shall no longer have small, wasp-like waists The sculptors and painters who have all along been telling us of the beau ties of the natural waist will say. What have we been telling your" and will point out to us the examples of the world of art and the figures of the old masters.
 But then we knew all that, and most , of us wished for this happy period to come, but what can a woman do when fashion sets the pace? Very few of us have the courage of our convictions when it comes to disregarding the man. dates of that terrible ruler. Of course we had the plea of necessity Of some ! thing to hand and drape our clothes on. | and the need of a certain amount of support, but the fact remains that ! thousands of women and girls have been hurried to untimely graves or sus- | tained serious internal injuries from | tight lacing.
 The modern corset is mere band of
 whalebone and ribbon compared with
 the steel ribbed, unyielding "straitjack-
 cts worn some years ago. The corset
 of today is made on entirely different lines, being short, of soft material. with but a couple of bones, and it is shaped
 on hygienic and physiological princi- 1 ples, giving the internal organs a prop | CT amount of space and freedom, and
 allowing ample play for the movements
 of the ribs.
 Probably one of the most prolific | agents in bringing about this fortunate
 change is the modern devotion to out
 door games, pastimes and pursuits. Nc
 woman squeezed up in an old fashioned
 corset such as our mothers wore could

A FLOOR OF GOLD.

It has remained for Peter Nissen of Chicago to thrill the hearts of the residents of the Niagara locality with an opinion that there is gold in pay ing quantities at the bottom of the Niagara whirlpool that river pocket that is so full of mystery. MT. Nissen is the man who twice boldly navigated the whirlpool rapids in a boat of his own construction, and on his second visit to the whirlpool is alleged to have taken soundings in order to penetrate the mystery of it's depths, formation. etc. For over six hours Nissen fioated helplessly about the pool, taking soundings when opportunity offered, and now, in an interview, he says the full importance of his discoveries of that eventful day did not come to him for six months. Here is what he says:
 "A little over year ago | fioated around in the whirlpool one day from 12 o'clock noon to 7:30 o'clock in the evening I bobbed my head against the bottom more than 100 times, but ob-

QUAY's INDIAN BLOOD.

Mrs. Mary E. Walker. of Tulsa. I. T.. came here on Monday to plead for par don for her son, who is serving a term in the penitentiary at Columbus. Ohio. She left last night with the pardon in her pocket Mrs. Walker came to Washington a stranger and alone, and with no pull but her own charm of personality and her love for her unfor- tunate boy, who had been incarcerated at the age of r. She at once enlisted the sympathies of all with whom she came in contact. Some one told Mrs. Walker whose appearance scarcely be- trays her mixed lineage, that Senator Quay of Pennsylvania had a trace of Indian blood in his veins, and on the strength of that slight link she hung her hopes. Mrs. Walker saw the sen ator and stated her case. He at once | telephoned President Roosevelt in her | behalf, and secured an audience for her ct 10 a. m. on Wednesday. Still fur ther, he attended her to the interview and aided her cause by saying to MT. Roosevelt:

KEEPING PROMISES
Phoenix Appreciates Always When
 Promises Are Kept.

Every time you read about Deans Kidney Pills you are told they cure every form of kidney i'll, from back ache to urinary disorders. How are our promises kept? Ask any citizen who has tried the treatment. Ask the man who makes the following state ment:
 H. T. Diehl, miner. of 15S E. Ala meda St, Tucson, Ariz., says: My ex- perience with Doan's Kidney Pills proved that they are everything claim ed for them. In the month of Febru- ary, 1902, I first felt a slight pain across the small of my back directly over the kidneys. probably caused by cold settling in those organs. It was not serious yet it struck me if neglect ed it might lead to future trouble and reading one night in a Tucson paper about Doans Kidney Pills my daugh- ter went to Martins drug store for a box. l took them as directed and when I had completed the treatment the pain in my back disappeared. I was so surprised at the prompt and eff cient relief given by Doan's Kidney Pills that I recommended them to a number of my acquaintances and even went so far as to mail a box to a friend of mine living in Orc Blancc who had kidney trouble" S

Mines and Minerals
 Of Arizona
HOME AND OLD TIMER
Two Promising Properties in the
 Morenci Gold Belt

There is great activity in develop ment work at the Home and Old Timer mines. says the Morenci Standard. The Home is putting on a larger force and is running a tunnel under its main ledge, which will intercept the main ore body at a depth of between one and two hundred feet. The tunnel is now about e hundred and fifty feet. The ore found at that depth is not free milling, but when subjected to roast ing shows good values in gold.
 They have recently had the mine ex- ported by MT. Aylsdorf. who'i Is com sulting engineer of the Stevens mines. and he holds forth great encourage mcnt to the company for deeper min ing Mir. Moulder the superintendent. says that they recently discovered some new prospects. and proceeded to | pan some of the surface croppings from It. which showed free gold to an estimated amount Of about $100 a ton. He is confident that the property will develop into a paying gold mine. Up to this time not more than $4,000 has been spent in development work all told, including their copper properties, and 1t has done little more than show that there Is plenty of good ore in sight Mir. Moulder and Bill Jenkins are partners in the mines.
 The Old Timer lies about mile fur ther on and nearer Eagle creek. There
 Is a ledge about four feet wide lying at an angle of about SO degrees slope
 to the north, with a footwall of gran
 ite and hanging wall of porphyry. A
 shaft has been sunk about the middle
 of the surface ledge which is probably
 20O yards long, this is down about 25
 feet, and at that depth the incline O.:
 the footwall turns more to the per
 pendieular. There is another out crop
 ping ledge paralleling this about three
 hundred yards to the north, and It's
 slope is to the south. Ii appears to the
 eye that these two might meet under ground at about the point of the bot tom of the shaft or a little lower. Il , SO that would increase the naturally favorable indications of good ore.
 The company is now driving a tun 7 nel under the ledge lower down thu hill which will pass under the poin l where the shaft is located at deptl 7 of about 65 feet As the ledge is steer 3 from that point the tunnel will tal g 1t at very much greater depths as g advances.
 e The ore now being taken from in r tunnel which is in 3912 feet is said t T be very satisfactory and is growini l better with each fot of advance. From the mouth of the tunnel in al s air line it is scarcely more than l. quarter of a mile to Eagle creek. k pack trail can be made at a small cost = to the creek. and there is an excellen
 location for a millsite. This is one O
 the possibilities of the near future
 The men who are conducting this en
 terprise are wide-awake and if ther - is anything in the Morenci gold bel ,t the public will not have long to wal :. until it is known.

 in the district and it would soon pa W fer itself in custom work.

PENSIONS FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

Senator Scott made an eloquent ap- peal the other day for the passage of a law providing a pension of SIP a month for every union veteran of 62 years or more of age who fought for not less than ninety days during the civil war.
 The annual appropriation for pen sions is large, but it is no larger than the debt of gratitude the nation owes the men who saved it from destruction. There would be no great, prosperous and enormously rich American union here today if it had not been for the men who took up arms for it's defense during the four terrible years of doubt and suffering which ended with the surrender of Lee at Appomatox.
 When the youngest soldier who fought in that war reaches the age of 62 and becomes, entitled to a pension under the proposed bill, there will be but few of the soldiers on the rolls. They are rapidly disappearing. and even now a man who served in those event. full years must have been young to have entered the army not to have at tained the age of 62. In other words, while the pension roll might be large if this bill should become a law, the payment under the provisions would continue but few years. Many of the men who endured the hardships of that great struggle-the greatest by far in the history of the Anglo-Saxon race suffer now from impaired constitutions and their ability to provide for them selves is less than it would be had they not made those sacrifices.
 A man will give everything short of honor for his life. and this nation owes it's life to the men who bore the stars | and stripes on the battlefields of the south. It could not give the old sol diers too much, and though some per sons may protest against further in crease of the pension rolls, few who dic so will be found among the young mer of the rising generation upon whom il a 'large~measure the burden of paying the pensions will fall
 It is these young men who feel tn, I most lively gratitude for the servic,

After she began 10 see Hubby around the Flat in his Other Clothes the Hor- rible Truth dawned upon her that he was not such a Hot Swell as he had looked to be in the Bunko Photograph.

tained no more than thirty-two good soundings. Besides these soundings discovered the remarkable fact that the
 bottom of the pool is covered with sand. There was something So strange about this that I could not leave off thinking about it. The interpretation
 of it did not come to me till more than
 six months later. Tn order that you
 may follow my thought I want to tell
 you a few facts with which you may
 be already familiar. There was time | in the geologic history of America when the northeastern part of this country
 was entirely covered with ice. This is
 sometimes called the Labrador ice
 sheet, from the fact that it covered the
 Labrador peninsula and came from
 that direction. Its southern border
 crossed the Ohio river near Cincinnati.
 It extended through Ohio. Indiana. H.
 linois and west of the great lakes.
 "The ice continued to thaw at the southern and western extremeties.
 while the frost and snow kept adding
 to 1t in the north. This made it more
 like a mighty glacier across the rocks of Canada. Its immense weight and
 force ground and secured these rocks
 and carried the debris southward, where it was deposited from place to
 place, wherever circumstances per
 mitted. Before this ice age there was a Niagara river, but when, on account of the warmer climate in this region, the ice receded northward, and the Nj agara again began to flow. its old bed from the whirlpool to St. David's had
 been entirely filled up, so that the river found an easier outlet toward Lew . iston.
 These facts are well known. Every t student of Niagara is familiar with them. It is equally well known that s there is a belt of gold bearing rock that 3 extends all through the Labrador g peninsula and northwest of the lakes ]. It has an area of over 100000 square { miles. In this rock there are the gold
 mines at Hastings. directly north o' d the falls. In this rock are also golc e mines throughout Labrador Quebec = and Ontario. It is the very same rocl
 in which Alaska gold is found It i! | the debris of this rock that was car l. ried down by the ice and deposited il n which gold is found in the Chaudier - country, south of the St. Lawrence. l e is in the debris of this rock carrie,

done by the old soldiers. They know nothing of the divided counsels in the north and the bitter animosity which was felt by some men north of Mason and Dixon's lire toward those who were charged with ineficiency in the conduct of the war. With the generation that knows not the war from bitter experi ence there happily is nothing but grat- itude for the glorious work done, and 1t Is this generation which must tax it. self to pay the pensions to the old sol diers who have so just claim upon the nations sympathy and aid.-Den- yer Republican.
