playground unless you take Christ along as your divine protector.
 Then, after while. you must go still farther away from the protecting care of your parents As young men and women you must go out Into the great ide world and live entirely away from hcme. You must be like your father and mother and earn your own living. Then, if you do not have Jesus by your side, there are many, many temptations which will beset you and trip you up. Are you now going to drive Christ away from your heart and life? Remember, he is your chief protector. I once read beautiful story about a St. Bernard dog which was killed by the hand of the man he was irving to save. It was on the famous St Gothard pass. road leading over the tall mountains of Switzerland, which most of the year IS covered with SLOW Travellers going over that pass ofter became so benumbed with the cold that they fall down and are frozen in the snow. The monks of monastery which was built among those mountains used to send out great shaggy dogs and hunt out the travellers and save them. Around the neeks of these dogs was tied a little box filled with food and wine which the travellers could eat and drink when the Gogs found thern Among those dogs was one so intelligent and strong that he had ssved sixty-eight persons who had been lost in the snow. But one night this in- telligent dog found among tho snows a traveller nearly frozen to death, and so to warm and bring him back to life the great dog stretched his big body upon the dying man, as your mother might cover you up with a fur lap robe when you go sleighing. After awhile the traveller awoke. He thought the big dog lying upon him was a big bear or wolf. He took out his knife and drove 1t into the the heart of the dog and killed it. Then. the monks, missing the dog. went out to seach for him and found him and found the dog and the man both dead in the snow. If the man had only known that the dog was trying to save him he would have been thankful to him instead of kill ing him, and his own life would have been saved. But, you see, he did not know what friend the dog was Now, l do not want you to make such a mis- take as that. I want you to understand that Christ is your friend. the best friend you can have. for he can save you from dying eternally. So, want you to welcome him and cling to him when he wants to help you and save you, not only from the sins of the schoolroom, but also from the sins of the great wide world at large.

NICKNAMING THE PRESIDENT.

The president of Princeton college
in recent address gave expression to
a sentiment which will meet with a
hearty endorsement from all sensible
people. He said:
Again, the men whom we have put
in places of authority are our rulers
and deserve our respect. There is a
tendency in this country which
initiates against that. 4 nation which
calls its chief executive Teddy is not
in a way to take itself very seriously.
While our executive is president of
the United States it ought not TO be
possible to call him by nickname"
There is much of good sense in this
suggestion. The president of the
United States is constantly on duty.
From the time of his Inauguration
until the time of the Inauguration of
his successor. he is for every moment
president of the United States and
during all of his waking hours is in
the discharge of his duty.
The nicknaming of the president of
the United States is improper and in
deoorOus. Whatever may be our per-
sonal opinion of the merits or demer-
its of a public official, especially such
an one as the president of the United
States, every good citizen recognizes,
as he should, the fact that it is not
the person but the office that should
always be kept in mind when speaking
of our chief ruler. He should always
be spoken of as president of the Unit
ed States, and if by name, as Theo-
dore Roosevelt.

NEW MINING
DIRECTORY

The directory of mines and mining
districts of the entire territory is now
in course of preparation. All counties
in Arizona will be listed, giving be-
sides the names of the mines or
groups, and the district in which To-
Gated, the number of claims in the
group, whether patented or not, char
acter of veins aud ores, with range
in values, distance from nearest ship
ping point on railroad, nearest post
Office to mine, amount and quality
of available water and timber, number
of feet of work done, shafts, tunnels,
etc., method of ore treatment, cost
of labor, material and fuel, name and
capitalization of company owning or
operating the mine or group, together
with the names and addresses of the
officers.
This information will be especially
valuable to those contemplating the
purchase of Arizona mining stocks as
we'll as to mining men generally,
machinery houses and the press. In
order to make the work as complete
and authentic as possible it is import
ant that the owners or operators of
mining property should cooperate
and send in the necessary data at an
early date. Blanks for filling out can
be obtained by addressing Arizona
Mining Directory, Prescott, Arizona.
No charge is made whatever for the
listing and every one interested in
the progress of Arizona mining should
use his personal attention to the work
and make as good a showing as pos
sible.

THE SERVIAN PROBLEMS.

King Peter of Servia has already
discovered that being king is not
one continuous round of pleasure.
Those Servians are just commencing
to get their breath since the brutal
and savage assassination tof their king
and queen and the enormity of the
crime is Just beginning to dawn upon
their minds.
Even the assassins themselves. who
at first gloated over their fiendish
crime, and boosted that they had ac-
complished the purpose for which
they had made their midnight raid on
the palace now seek to excuse them
selves and claim that their action was
forced upon them by one of,the kings
aides, and that all they desired was
to force Alexander to abdicate.
Russia and Austria are the only gov
ernments which continue diplomatic
relations with King Peters govern
ment, and they, in recognizing the
new king, warmly advocated the pun
ishment of the assassins.
While the king deprecated the as
sassination, European papers openly
charge him with having guilty knowl-
edge of the proposed crime previous
to its commission.
The assassins belonged to the army,
and the army does not propose that
they should be punished, and as King
Peters tenure of Office, as we'll as his
tenure of life depends upon the good
will of the army he finds himself prac-
tically powerless to take any action
in the matter, even if he were so in
clined.
An election has been called to Sc
lect a new legislative body for the
Servian government, and if left to a
free choice of the Servian people. this
may result in the election of body
which will pave the way for bringing
the regicides to punishment. In the
meantime to use homely and slangy,
but somewhat expressive western
phrase, King Peter sis up against
a serious proposition. As the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat expresses it
at is condition and not a theory
which confronts Peter. If he goes
against the men who have put him Oh
the throne he may be their next vic
tim. The army is the ruling power il
the state in Servia, as we'll as in some
other of the Balkan countries. On
the other hand. unless Peter pleases.
or attempts to please, the govern
ments of Russia and Austria, which
are apparently working in harmony
in Balkan matters, his days as king
may be short and full of trouble
Thus it chances that the new monarch
is confronted by divided duty

Science Failed.

DIR. A. N. Itove was an expert in
the science of prolonging life. On
his departure for Europe recently he
gave statement to the New York
World explaining how a man Of mid
die age should live to avoid disease,
and especially apoplexy. Yesterday,
says the World, as his ship came up
the bay, be dropped dead from an
apoplectic stroke at the age Of fifty
five.
DR.. Love had been apparently in
good health, and no doubt he had
followed his own rules conscientious
ly. Only the day before his death he
said to friend that he believed be
would live to be hundred years old.
But the memorable rule that ga man
is no stronger than his arteries" over
rode his medical maxims.
|. OF course life can often be prolong-
ed by prudence, and It is open to any
one to say that if DR.. Love had been
less careful he would have died soon-
er. Still, there are some fates that are
relentless, and in their presence the
highest skill has to confess itself help
less. Elk:

PERIODICAL
RAILROAD TALK
Rumor of Rock Island
Coming to Territory.
NameleSs Man in the East Writes
to Anonymous Man
in Globe.

A prominent business concern of
Globe recently received a letter from
the president of a banking and brok-
erage company, located in one of the
cities of the middle west, making in
quiries as to the location of coal and
timber lands in Arizona, and from
which it appears there is a we'll organ
lied project for the building of new
trunk line of railroad through New
Mexico and Arizona to the Pacific
coast, says the Enterprise. The letter
is as follows:
''Gentlemen-I am interested in
building a railroad through your ter
ritory, from point along the Rock
Island road above White Oaks and be-
tween White Oaks and Santa Rosa, n.
NJ, through the Black Mesa Forest
reservation, Prescott Forest reserva-
ton and the Colorado Indian reserva-
ton of Arizona. Can you tell me of
any coal or timber lands in your dis
trict and what the prospects would be
if We went through your town or dis
trict, and would you be of any assist
ance to us if we make it to your inter
est?
"We have raised $40, 600, 600 to build
200 miles of railroad through the
center of New Mexico, Arizona and
California Can you send us any sam
pie of coal along your district and
report of the coal and timber landY
LET me hear from you by return
mail.
This is an important trans-conti-
mental line and Prescott should make
an effort to get into communication
with the Rock Island people and see
if the road cannot be induced to
build via Prescott and the greatest
mineral zone in Arizona rather
than through the desert country.

PUBLIC CONSCIENCE PRICKED.

Apropos of an editorial published in
Thursdays Journal Miner comes a
telegram from Vienna which says that
remorse has overtaken some of the
Servian officers who participated in
the recent royal murders. Rumors of
wholesale suicides have reached that
city from Belgrade. 1t is said there
is serious cleavage of opinion in the
army, and that many duels are immi-
nent between the leading conspirators
and officers of provincial garrisons
who condemn the palace massacre. 1t
is thought these reports are exagger-
ated, but it is certain that reaction
is taking place against the events of
June IL, which is trying the souls of
the weaker assassins and driving
many to despair. The life of Col.
Maschin, the leading murderer, is
menaced, and he is considering the
advisability of leaving Servia for a
few months. King Peter is encourag-
ing festivities and holding levees to

ported to haunt the public con-

Deadly Gas Explosion.

Twenty four miners we're killed and
about fifty others seriously wounded
in an explosion of gas in the La Es-
peranza coal mines in Mexico on June
IS, the property of the Mexican Coal
and Coke company. The disaster was
caused by the ignition of gas by the
flame from a defective lamp. The
men we're on the point of quitting
work for the day.
Probably one hundred men were in
the mine at the time of the eXplo-
sion. After the shock of the eXplo
sion those who we're able to move
rushed for the exits, but the falling
earth and debris carried many down
to death. Fully fifty miners escaped
with broken limbs and scorched flesh.

twenty four men had been brought to

up to a great height, and then des-
cending by means of a parachute.
Last Sunday he went up several thou
sand feet and cut loose with his para

carried the parachute with the man
across the river into Juarez, Mexico.
He lit among some underbrush with
out harm to himself. He gathered up
the parachute and started across the

nEMORY OF
NOBLE DEAD

The Phenix Gazette pays the follow
ing tribute to the memory of the late
Mrs. NJ. H. McCord:
Died, at Long Beach, California, on
Saturday, June q, 1903, of heart fail
ure, Mrs. Sarah E. McCord, aged
fifty years, one month and eight days.
The subject of the above brief an
nouncement was the wife of Myron H.
McCord of this city. She was born
in Pennsylvania and removed to Wis
consin while an infant in arms. That
was in 1854 and at that time the Sec
ton of Wisconsin to which her folks
removed was very sparsely settled,
her parents being among the first to
locate there,
She grew to young womanhood
there enjoying such educational and
other advantages as the neighborhood
afforded only, except for one year she
attended the Ripon College, at Ripon,
Wisconsin.
In 1877, when twenty four years of
age, she was married to Mr.. McCord
by Rev. j. F. Decker; then pastor of
the NJ. E. church at Merrill, and
soon after Joined that church and has
been a consistent and devoted Chris
tian woman ever since.
"From that day forth, in peace and
joyous bliss,
They lived together long without de-
bate;
Nor private jars, not spite of enemies,
Could shake the safe assurance of
their state.''
1t is true, as DR.. Halsey said in his
beautiful sermon at her burial, ''She
was always trying to do good and her
hand was ever extended to those in
need of help and sympathy, and her
purse was freely opened to those in
want
Last October she contracted rheu-
matism which affected her heart and al
though everything that loving friends
and the best medical skill obteinable
could do for her was done, yet the
wound was fatal and she was forced
to succumb. From the moment of the
last attack until death came to her
relief was but few seconds and she
died peacefully and with little suffer
ing.
She was indeed true and noble
woman fulfilling faithfully every
duty. Her demise will be deeply re-
GREETED by not only large circle of
friends and acquaintance here but by
a much larger number in Wisconsin
where her friends are numbered only
by the entire community where she
lived for nearly forty years and where
she had not single enemy.
Whatever success her husband has
met with in any respect is largely due
to her and the good influence she ex-
erted.
"Had the number of her days
Been as complete as was her praise,
Nature and fate had had no strife
In giving limit to her life"
She has gone just little before Us.
May her dear soul rest in peace.
"Green be the turf above thee,
Friend of my better days;
None knew thee but to love thee,
Nor named thee but to praise"

There has been nearly 900 feet of de-
work done on the claims
and some good ore has been taken
out and opened up. There is said to
be an ore body running in width from
10 to 10 feet that will average 80 per
