who never makes witty or profound
remark, but whose quality of human
goodness makes up for every other
deficiency. And if it came to the time
of real stress, when we felt that we
needed the support of real friendship,
we should choose, above all, to go to
this plain-faced man or woman, GER

sympathy, charitable construction
of our position and difficulties, and a
readiness to assist us beyond what we
ought to take. If you could look into

at faces they enshrine there, because

New Dock at vineland.
F. l.. Daigle Of Vineland was in the
city Wednesday on his return from
Cass Lake, Bemidji and other north
ern points. He is planning to secure
the construction of a dock at Vine
land, at the eastern end of the road
leading from Little Falls to Mile Laos.
The water in the lake is somewhat
shallow at that place, and the dock
must be about 300 feet from the shore
line to OBTAIN depth of six feet of
water. Mr.. Daigle estimates that a
dock of oak piling with three-inch
floor, and substantial approach, can
be built for about $400. He is plan
ming to secure the aid of some Little
Falls people who own real estate near
the dock site.
There are several gasoline and
steamboats, on the lake, and there are
docks at Cove, Lawrence and Mid
land. The Foley-Bean company has
a large steamer on the lake. There
is a boat that will next year make
trips around the lake for the Midland
creamery. collecting cream and milk
from the farmers along the shore

From time immemOrial a tree has
been part of the Christmas celebra-

early paintings OF the pre-Raphalite

it, are seen angels in flowing robes

Of the Jewish year, corresponding
nearly to our December, and on the

feast of dedication of their temple. It
had been desecrated on that day by
Antiochus, and then, according to the
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was found
in the temple to last for the seven

and it would have taken seven days
to prepare new oil. Accordingly the
Jews were wont on the twenty fifth of
Kisleu in every house to light a can

An Employers Recommendation.

If employers instead of employees
were in the habit of giving recon-
mendatiOns. the owner of the Boston
Transcript would be able to present
an exceedingly strong one. At re-
union of employees of this paper it was
figured out that seventeen men of the
paper to-day had been with them for
forty years, or rather that was the
average time for the seventeen. An
employer could not receive a greater
testimonial as to his kindness and
fairness than this. Men who drink
golden grain belt beer regularly are
known for their even tempers and
happy dispositions, for it keeps them

LONE PINE MINE.

J. Greentree of Buffalo, N. Y Eld- ridge Packham. Jr., of Baltimore, Md. and Robert Well and E. F. Hoerig Of New York, are recent arrivals in this section and constitute committee sent out by the board of directors of the Lone Pine Mining company to examine that property. Mir. GTeentree is chair man of the committee. He was here three years ago. The other members Of the committee are paying their first visit to Prescott. They all expressed agreeable surprise to find Prescott such an up to date place, and, having the utmost faith in our great mineral re- sources, predicted that Prescott would in time be quite a city. In reference to the Lone Pine they said they were fully aware of the element of chance in the development of mining properties. but should they become convinced, upon examination of the Lone Pine, that it is property justifying expenditure )f money they were fully prepared to go ahead with the work. Accompanied by c. E. M. Beale, they will visit the property today.-Prescott Courier

QUARTZSITE DISTRICT
Latest News From That Lively Yuma
 County Camp.

Quartzsite camp is one of the lively mining fields of Yuma county but it's location is so far from direct lines of communication that news from there comes only from the occasional corre- spondent. Following is an interesting letter from there published in the last issue of the Los Angeles Mining Re view:
 surveying party has run a line for the new railroad which is to cross the Colorado river at or near Parker While the main line will be about thirty miles from QuartZsite, a branch line has been run to reach us. Easy access to the outside world is what is needed to bring this district to the front. It has the ore-lead, copper, gold, silver. rich placers, nothing lacking but neded capital for development purposes Pres cott capitalists have an agent here locating placers. It is surmised that this action is being taken on inside in- formation regarding the road. Ther are not bonding or purchasing any properties, only locating in 16O-acre plats, and are not very particular either, as in a number of cases the agent has covered lode locations be- longing to others.
 Their agent stated in my presence . few days ago that he had located from Ehrenburg to Quarzsite, and from Quarzsite to Bcwser's Camp. This is a stretch of country about forty miles in length The Ioca ation work should give employment to a great many men. letting loose considerable cash in camp

DIR. F. A SWEET DEAD
One of the Most Prominent and Best
 Arizonians.

Dr. Frederick Arnold Sweet of Bis bee died suddenly yesterday morning of heart failure. A telegram announcing his death was received by his most in timate friend, Hon. B. A. Packard, who happened to be in the city. Later ill the day Mir. Packard received a tele- gram from his secretary saying that the day before Dr. Sweet had been In his usual health.
 There was no man in all Arizona bet ter known than Dr. Sweet. He was native of Rhode Island. He went to Bisbee sixteen years ago and became the chief physician for the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company, and held that position to the time Of his death. He was 9 familiar figure In the capital for being one of the fore most men in the territory, he naturally became a representative at meetings which are held at Phoenix. He was one of the leading physicians of Ari- zona and had for a iong time been :. member of the territorial board of medical examiners. He was high in masonry and was always present at meetings of all the grand bodies of moscnry. He was also one of the most prominent Elks in the south west. He was one of the leading democratic politicians of the territory and was always in attendance at the councils of the party. He was a prom inent worker in the Episcopal church.
 No man could have been more highly respected among his neighbors than he. He was dignified and at the same time kind. Though his time was largely oc- cupied by his duties, he was always ready to attend to calls made upon him for professional services. The fee he was to receive was something never to be considered; the first thing was ths relief of suffering.
 Sudden as his death was, his friends here said that they were not greatly surprised. He had spent a consider able part of the winter here, and t was known that he had a great deal of trouble with his heart. There was . fioridness of complexion which it was feared was a sign of i'll health. It was remembered that three years ago he suffered an apop'ectic attack from which it was feared tat he could not recover and he believed himself that recurrence of it was at any time possible.
 A distressing fact in connection with his death is that his wife was absenr. Not long ago, accompanied by their three year-old son, she went to Brook lyn. N. Y, in i'll health Dr. Sweet had arranged to join her there in June.
 Dr. Sweet was forty-three years of age. Notwithstanding his extreme liberality, he had saved considerable } money from the practice of his pro- fession and he had lately added to those savings by fortunate mining transactions. MT. and Mrs. Packard and Bishop kendrick of the Episcopal diocese left for Bisbee last night.
