Rockefelier's 6. s. Class Shocked
Him

John d. Rockefeller, Jr., asked the mem
bers Of his Bible class il they concurred In
the view held by some that man can
not be a true Christian and at the same
time a successful business man. Several
of the members spoke up, and the things
that Rockefeller heard must have shock
ed him. One speaker said;
"The man who dabbles in stocks, the
man who dumpsa quarter OF million ol
dollars worth on the market and forces
the price down, and when the figures
get low enough to suit him, buys IN
again. and in doing this ruins the small
er holders simply because he has tbs
power OF money behind him, cannot b
a good Christian. lie Injuries Others To-
his own selfish motives and is direct,
outside the teachings Of Christ"

THE LATE PANAMANIA.

GThe New York correspondents of the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail simul- taneously cabled a few days ago that Panama hats. for which there was a magical demand last year, the price ranging from s3O to $50. are no longer fashionable and are being replaced by ordinary stiff straw hats. The princi- pal market has. been transferred to England. The downfall of the Panama is attributed to cheap limitations, and the prejudice of many against the rak- ish and peculiar methods of wearing it.l

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

It is the common impression that Governor Dockery, of Missouri. has no military record, but Private" John Allen, the famous story teller of Tu- pelO Miss. says he learned when in St. Louis attending the dedicatory eXCr- cises of the St Louis Worlds Fair that this is d mistake. Private Allen says he met an old farmer on the grounds who seemed especially well informed regarding Missouri history and poli- tics. "He Lad war record to start with or he never could have got along in Missouri" suggested the Tupelo statesman. Well" replied the old farmer. he didn't have much of war record. Toward the end Of the war he joined a company of home guards with the stipulation that the company was not to go out of the county unless the enemy came in.''-New York Tri- bune.

 The tunnel being driven on the Old Mesa claim to cross cut the vein of that name is now in 250 feet and is being driven continuously. Ii is esti mated that the distance remaining to be driven is about 400 feet Much very rich gold ore has been taken from this vein, and as the tunnel now being run will tap the veirf about $50 to 400 feet deep, it is reasonable to expect that q splendid body of ore vii be encoun- tered.-Prescott Courier.
 Mir. c. F.. Potts, an active mining man of much practical experience in Alaska, Idaho, and Colorado. is here in the interest of the Gold Rock Con solidatcd Mines of Orc Blanco, rep resented by Dr. A. H. Noon. Active work on the property will be com menced at once, and with MT. Potts natural great energy. and such an ex- tensive and rroved valuable mIne, in- teresting developments may soon be expected. The Orc Blanco country is attracting much attention just now as gold bearing section and it Is fast coming to the front.-Nogales Times.
 The Times is glad to herald the rews that the old town of Crittenden, thai lays three miles above Patagonia. is on the verge of a Veritable boom, and will soon see it's old business prosperity. A school district has been established there and an application has been made for a postoffice. This good luck has been caused by the activity in mi- ming al Greaterville in Pima county some ten miles distant Big pipe lines are being laid and it is said that hy- drauIic mining on a large scale will soon be in operation at the latter place -Nogales Times.
 Interesting developments have taken place at the Decatur mine during the past few days in the way of uncovering high grade ore. During the past few days they have been taking down about ten inches of what is perhaps the best grade of ore yet uncovered ir the main shaft. Samples of this ore brought tos Jerome show it to be O.; excellent quality. Aside from the ten inch solid body punches of this ore occur thrCroughout the face of the drift. It looks as if there would be something doing at the Decatur with in a short time.-Jerome News.
 The officials of the United Verde Copper company give out that they are working short handed and have work for several hundred more miners alone. says Jerome News. The fact that so many miners are needed is good news, for. if so many men can be employed under ground. the fire therein must be under complete control. Very likely some of these men are needed for the 1 Iron King. but if so, a very small per centaGe. The employment of so many miners would mean the employment of many hundreds more men above ground. At the shelter work on the two new 500-ton jackets, which had been dropped for sometime, has again been taken up and is being rushed. as is also the work on the Iron King | shelter.

 Several years ago attention was call ed to the fact that the Eastern plants of America were marching westward across the continent, keeping step with the advance of human settlement, and conquering the native plants as they preceded. It was predicted that in time there would be a return of the western plants sweeping eastward and over coming their conquerors, and. Science Siftings' says, it is noted that that return seems already to have begun. At present Australia presents perhaps the best example of this spreading and conquering tendency of those plants that follow the advance of man.-New York Tribune.

RICH SOLEDAD MINE
Company Will Be Organized In Tomb
 stone This Week.

O. B. Steen is in Bisbee and has been :t busy man for the past few days, ar ranging the details of the organization of the Soledad Gold Mining company, says the Review.
 The company will be organized this week at Tombstone (with O. B. Steen P. Johnson. Joseph Muheim and A R. English as inCorporators. The capital stCck of the company is $1.0O0 .000 1O0,- 900 shares at a par value of $10. Ten thousand shares will soon be placed on the market at s per share. $1 paid down and the remaining $2 to be paid upon demand of the directors. about October 18th.
 The ore exhibited from the Soledad mine is the richest gold bearing quartz seen in BisDec since the famous Tigre samples were on exhibition. It is white quartz, with particles of the yellow metal freely distributed, some of the particles being as large as peas This rich ore, Of which there is twelve to eighteen inches, will run from $1O0O to S75,O00 per ton. While this extremely rich ore is very gratifying to the own CTS, it is the ledge matter running on an average of S100 per ton, that makes the new gold bonanza particularly at tractive.
 The SCledad and adjoining property embraces 115 pertenencias, and is To- cated in the Altar district The prop erty was first discovered by Ramon Aranda, who at one time worked in the machine shops in Bisbee The de- nouncement was made May 18th of this year, and shortly afterward came into the possession of MT. Steen, through an option.
