APRIL 10 STORY BOOK.

The April 10 Story Book is particu- larly unique. The publishers have made departure in their cover de- sign and have secured something in the classic line by an artist of note, E. Warde Blaisdell, who is just now making hit with the Century and Scribner people. The color effect is particularly striking.
 The list of authors this month is of the usual high class. Gen. Charles King leads with story under the taking title of "When She Was Twenty-two. It is something differ ent than he has been in the habit of giving the public, and it remains to be seen what the verdict of his clever ness in a theme of this kind will be. Another story, "A Passion in Mid ocean," by Prof. Sherwin Cody de- serves special mention. This we'll known literature is certainly not of the ascetic order, for no man could write this story who had not red blood in his veins. The masterpiece this month is that wonderful tale of horror, Edgar Allen Poe's "Black Cat" This has probably given more shivers to mankind than any other single production ever given to this world. There are other stories of much merit by W. CaIver Moore, prize story by Lawrence Henry, Henry s. Gibson and Paul PereIl.

LAKE DE BILLINGHURST.

Prof. Billinghurst is usually a very modest and unassuming man, but for couple of days he has been putting on good deal of style and the Jour nal-Miner has just found out the req son for all these high toned feelings
 The professor has lake in his yard and is contemplating putting on a line of pleasure boats for picnic parties of the professors choice, for really i he would just about as leave not have a lake as to have one. But, like many other men he has had fortune CD thrust upon him. A few days ago w.
 c. Bashford, who owns some lots ad- joining the place where Prof. Billing hurst lives, decided to fill up the draw which runs through the professors yard and also across the property be- longing to MT. Bashford. The latter lots were leveled up which formed dam for the water which runs down this draw. When the recent rains be- gan to fall the water soon began to back up in the professors yard and finally got deep enough to flow into the cellar-but the rain kept right on falling, and the water kept on run ming into the cellar and now he has greater sympathy for the people living along the Mississippi river. Mrs
 Billinghurst had a hen setting on some very fine eggs, and had put them in the cellar for safe keeping but yesterday morning when she went to see how they were she saw her mis- take in not having a setting of duck eggs under the faithful hen. so the young and tender brood could swim out, for they were entirely surround ed by water. Tihe residents along the coast of the famous municipal | frog pond" in Goose Flat, can no long CT maintain their claim of being the | whole thing, for Mob Hill has her SyI- van lake.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Mrs. Bowers, Formerly of Prescott, Narrowly Escapes Death
 From Fire.

Mrs. T. W. Otis has received a pri. vate letter from San Bernardino, giv- ing an account of very serious acci. dent which happened to Mrs. N. B. Bowers there and of her narrow es- cape from death. On Monday night Mir. Bowers was awakened by strong smell of smoke, only to find that the house in which he and his wife were Tn was on fire. He arose and opened a window to permit the escape of the smoke, and then looked for Mrs. Bow CTS whom he found on the balcony. He immediately set about to procure ladder to enable her to get to the ground but before he succeeded the flames got uncomfortably close to her and in some manner she fell off the baIcony, spraining both ankles and injuring her back. Her injuries are quite serious and when the letter was written her condition was such that it was thought she might not recover. When she arose she snatched up bag containing all of her jewels except a very valuable necklace, and succeeded in saving the bag and its contents but the necklace was lost.
 Mir. and Mrs. Bowers resided in Prescott for great many years, the house now owned and occupied by J. w. Wilson, having been built by MT. Bowers. They moved to San Bernar- dino about ten years ago and have re- sided there ever since.

HOUSE CLEANING TIME.
@Ws By s. NJ. Wright.

gMs By s. M. Wright One lovely balmy morning EsE Twas in the month of May; When April showers had brought the
 flowers
 That look so bright and gay, I left the house quite early - > .And nothing was awry, =. But, when I came at dinner time The whole concern was ''pi." Now where's the men that loveth A day and hour like that? For everything was upside down
 And wife in chaos sat. Come, don't be scared but listen, And sympathiZe with me For Kate was cross and cleaning
 house;
 Twas awful don't you see? The yard was strewn with bedsteads And trunks and oh, alas! Five hundred other household things Were scattered OCT the grass. 1 get up ev'ry morning
 And make fire for Kate And many other little things
 She says 1 do first rate. l even wipe the dishes
 When no one else is there. But when it comes to cleaning house l have no time to spare. Eve marched up to the cannon An empty one l mean But when there's signs of cleaning
 house,
 I'm nowhere to be seen. l love the roar of cannon
 In times of lovely peace But when they fight with mops and
 brooms,
 My horrors never cease. Some women love house-cleaning @ But all men do eschew it And if the women love the work, Why not just let them do it But Kate's little darlingi She seems to understand That when she wants to SCOUT the
 house,
 She has to furnish sand.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

W. H.. Lester was in town yesterday
 from his placer claims on the Hassay- ampa, and reports lots of water-in fact too much water to suit him some
 times, as the recent rains ruined lot of work which it had taken several days to do. Lester has a washer which
 he made himself and which mas proven to be a dandy. The result of eight
 hours run recently, on ground that had been previously worked through a common sluice box, gave him over an ounce of gold, or about S20. The machine is run by gasoline engine and all he has to do is to shovel in the sand and the machine takes care of the gold, if there is any there. He says he can net sl0 day alone, when the weather is good, in the ground where he is now working, which is near where Clark X Adams used to have their saw mill.
 F. D. Treadwell is negotiating for installing a diamond drill on the Cliff mine at Jerome.
 The Merchants Mining company has completed its gallows frame on its mine, the engine house is completed also and the new hoist is in position and has been started up. Work can now be pushed on this property rapidly.

If the editor makes a mistake he has to apologize for it, but if the doctor makes one he buries it. If we make one there is lawsuit, swearing and a smell of sulphur, but if the doctor makes one there is a funeral, cut flowers and a smell of varnish. The doctors can use a word a yard long without knowing what it means but if the editor uses it he has to spell it. If the doctor goes to see another mans wife, he charges for the visit. but if the editor goes to see another mans wife, he gets charge of buck shot. Any medical college can make a doctor. You can't make an editor. He has to be born. When a doctor gets drunk its a case of overcome by heat. and if he dies, it is heart trouble. When an editor gets drunk it's a case of too much booze, and if he dies it's a case of delirium trem- enS.-EX.

Miles would call they would be glad to give the dollar back to him. Unfortunately for him, however. no deposit of less than B draws interest. so he might as well have had his treasure hidden in a stocking.

May Be a Hanging.

Prescott is liable to have a hanging some of these days. The supreme court at its recent session confirmed the decision of the lower court in the matter of Simon Alderete, the Mexi- can who killed painter by the name of Ward in saloon on Goodwin strees about year ago. Alderete was tried before Judge Sloan last spring and found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. The case was appealed to the supreme court, and as stated, that body bat sustained the decision of the lower court. The decision was handed down March 20, and the defendant has fif- teen days in which to ask the supreme court for rehearing. If at the end of that time a rehearing has not been asked for the prisoner will be brought before Judge Sloan and resentenced. It is not reasonable to expect that the judge will change his sentence, so the only thing that will save his neck will be communication of sentence by the governor.

The officials of the Pennsylvania railroad are awaiting with much in- terest the results of the measure re- gently adopted to check the tip nuis- ance on their lines. The new rules are of stringent character and posi- lively forbids the car porters or other trainmen to do any services for pas sengers in order to receive tips in re- turn. It is said that if the measures already adopted fail to prove effective in putting a stop to the nuisance it will be a rule to discharge any em- ploye who receives a tip while in the service.
